The Earl-ies 2007

Posted in Movies, The Tube, Top Tens, Video Games at 2:26 pm by earl

Hey guys, this is The Earl-ies 2007, where I designate the the best of the year. Thanks to everyone who voted and argued about Pirates of the Carribean 3, but ultimately I have decided the winners. I decided not to give out awards to games I had not played, which eliminates a lot of categories. I found that’s they weren’t based on the game’s quality as much as they were just guesses. But don’t worry, I still have tons more to offer. I’ll list the category, below it some nominees if there are any others, and then I’ll start a sentence with the winner in bold writing, just so there’s no confusion. Let’s move on. Oh and by the way, Super MArio Galaxy won Gamespot’s Game of the Year!!!

Best New TV Show of 2007

Chuck, due to the hillarity of the situations, and how it reminds me of Monk. That is a very good thing.

Best Returning Show of 2007

Top Ten Tips for Holiday Shopping

Posted in Top Tens at 6:29 pm by earl


Since I love Christmas shopping and just the whole zanyness of it-I was asked by a lady to get something off the top shelf-, I thought I would give the top ten tips for holiday shopping, as you can see.

10. Eat plenty, that way you’ll have plenty of nutrition.

9. Get plenty of sleep and wear good, comfortable shoes.

8. If you’re getting gifts for a certain person, and they’re with you, create a diversion, but whatever you do, don’t ask them to hold the bag!

7. Avoid long lines by having one person to start waiting in lines for you, and if possible, split into groups and go one at a time throught the express checkout.

6. Plan out where you want and need to go, and make a schedule.

5. If someone else takes something right before you, don’t get upset. Do like my cousin and follow them until they’re not looking and take it out of their cart.

4. Ask the person what they want before you just guess, but surprise them.

3. Look for the best deals in the newspaper and make a plan of attack.

2. Take someone with you to help out, trust me, it makes it a whole lot better.

1. Make a list. This is an extremely important part.

My Top Ten Theories to the Heroes Volume 2 Finale

Posted in The Tube, Top Tens at 9:28 am by earl

As you may know due to the fact that I won’t be quiet about it, Heroes is concluding it’s Second Volume-Generations, with the 13th episode, Powerless. I automatically think this is referring to Sylar. In the promo, you can see Sylar in the alley injecting himself with something getting his powers back, hopefully. They also said 2 Heroes will fall! Here are my top ten theories:

10. Ando becomes a hero.
9. The virus is released.
8. They all realize they don’t care about the virus anymore.
7. Kaito returns, reveals an awesome power, and saves the day. How he lived his murder I’m still working on.
6. Peter finds out about Adam’s evil ways and kills him.
5. Matt pulls a Jedi mind trick on Adam.
4. Claude Returns and save the day! I will never give up on that hope.
3. Sylar IS NOT KILLED!!!
2. Hiro will kill Adam once and for all.
1. Sylar will get his powers back, there’s a huge showdown, he kills Maya and takes her power, and then kills Adam for his power, unleashing a whole can of trouble. However, something happens that makes him leave-Hiro teleporting him, etc. And that’s what causes the name of Volume 3-Exodus, they’re running.

Top Ten Questions I Want Answered in Heroes-Four Months Ago

Posted in The Tube, Top Tens at 2:07 pm by earl


Monday, November 12, will showcase a brand new episode of Heroes, where it fills in the mystery-filled four month span between the bomb avoidance at the end of Season 1 and where we picked up about 2 months ago. Man, time flies when you’re watching Heroes. This kinda just makes me want the Heroes to sit around a table and answer these one by one.

10. Who is Elle, who’s her dad, and what relation does she have with Peter/The Company? (These are all related).
9. Where did Sylar go after the bomb?
8. Who’s paying the mortgage with Matt and Mohinder living together?
7. (Insert question here)
6. When did D.L. die?
5. How does Dwight fit in with all of this?
4. What is the deal with the mutilated face of Nathan sometimes in the mirror, and who’s face was that in the promo with the yellow eye?
3. Why does Peter have amnesia, and how did he end up in the container?
2. How did Adam Monroe and Peter meet?
1. How did Nathan survive the bomb and where did Peter go after it?

Top Ten Things Not To Do In Line For/While Playing Halo 3

Posted in Top Tens at 5:54 pm by earl

 

I know, it has to do with video games,but at least it’s all coming from my head. It’s all original baby!!!!

  1. Say Gears of War is better.
  2. Say Halo 3 should have been a PS3 title, too.
  3. Proclaim that the SMG is the weapon to look forward to in Halo 3.
  4. Say that Kratos could sooooo take Master Chief.
  5. Use Cliffy B. as your on-screen name. Or Cat Meat.
  6. Walk out saying “You know, this game could bomb.”.
  7. Make boring documentaries with the film-save feature. There are soooo much more possibilities. Just like Campbell soup. Sorry, lame joke.
  8. Use pink as your uniform color.
  9. Make fun of Master Chief.
  10. Say the Arbiter could take Master Chief.
