This is seriously one of the most bizarre movies that I've ever had the misfortune of watching twenty minutes of. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, it uses tons of stock footage from Star Wars spliced together with a story about Earth being protected by a shield made of human brains and nuclear weapons and...I don't know, it's crazy, and it has music ripped from Indiana Jones. It also has mummies. Yes. Mummies. I kid you not. All of the stock footage is edited and abused in the worst possible ways and the rest is so incredibly low budget and insane that's it's hilarious. These people couldn't even afford lasor beams and all their own effects consists of horribly drawn matte-paintings and robots made out cardboard boxes. But, despite that...everyone should watch it at least one, because it's so bad that it's funny.

Quote:TOKYO, April 6 (Reuters) - Japanese videogame maker Nintendo Co. Ltd. (7974.OS: Quote, Profile, Research) on Wednesday raised its net profit forecast by 17 percent on foreign exchange gains and said it would pay a record270 yen dividend for the year just ended.

Nintendo, known for game characters such as Mario, Donkey Kong and Pokemon, said it nearly doubled its dividend payment because it now expected to post a net profit of 82 billion yen ($757.4 million) in the year ended in March, compared with its previous forecast of 70 billion yen.

Quote:The story will be much the same at Nintendo, which is expected to highlight new games for the DS, along with the highly anticipated "Legend of Zelda" for the GameCube. The company will, however, give the first details on its next generation home system, currently code-named "Revolution". As with Sony, though, don't expect to know all of the answers. <!--startclickprintexclude--><!--endclickprintexclude--> "This year's E3 is not Revolution's coming out party," Reggie Fils-Aime, executive vice president of sales and marketing for Nintendo of America told me last month.

From Nintendojo:

Quote:New Demasked & Warp Pipe Info Our contact over at Warp Pipe gave us a "heads up" a couple days ago, notifying Nintendojo that their new corporate site is online, with a couple previously unreleased tidbits about their Demasked venture. As well, though we couldn't publicly state so before, a recent newsletter to the site's subscribers has confirmed that the team will no longer support their original GameCube tunneling project, "Warp Pipe", which allowed LAN-enabled GameCube games to be played "online". From this point onward, Warp Pipe refers to the company alias in general. Here are the full transcripts from both the recently relaunched site and aforementioned newsletter.

This is either one hell of an April Fool's joke or I don't know what to think.

From The Tool Page:

Quote: [04/01/05] - Completely unexpected

I have no idea how to introduce this, so I'll just post it. This is an email Maynard (the real one) sent in moments ago:
[indent] "hi, kabir. i thought it only fair to inform you first, before you hear it second or third hand. some recent events have led me to the rediscovery of jesus. tool will need to take the back seat. this may come as a shock. i just thought you should know considering all the support you given us over the years. all my faith. maynard."

[/indent]This is an actual email from actual MJK. I was going to type up a post about how the RIAA had sent us a letter shutting down The Tool Page (as this year's annual April Fools' Day joke), but now I just don't think it seems appropriate. More on this as it develops. [size=3]§[/size]

Quote:

Has Maynard James Keenan, the frontman of both the dark, heavy-metal art band Tool and the somewhat lighter A Perfect Circle, found Jesus and been born again? Well ...

Recent postings on two Tool Web sites — one of them purportedly by

Keenan himself — contend that the singer has found religion and has left Tool. Could this really be? On Tuesday afternoon (April 5), MTV News' Kurt Loder e-mailed Keenan for confirmation, and this is what he e-mailed back: "I did, in fact, find Jesus. More news to follow. God bless ya."

Keenan's letter to fan site toolshed.down.net explains that "some recent events have led me to the rediscovery of Jesus" and that "Tool will need to take the back seat." A posting on Tool's Web site alludes to Maynard's newfound Christianity as well, but who wrote the post is unclear. It reads, "I went to the studio to give Maynard a bottle of wine ... [and] not only wasn't Maynard there, but ... I was told Maynard has indeed 'found Jesus' and that, for this reason, he's abandoned the project for the time being, if not entirely."

But given their timing (one dated March 31, the other April 1), both posts were dismissed as April Fools' pranks, leaving fans wondering whether Keenan and the rest of Tool were just having a little fun with everyone.

The band's management could not be reached for comment or confirmation on the matter.

Now... if I could just get someone to unpack for me... oh and I get free cable! Reality TV a go-go, baby in 16x9 HDnessity! I drank coffee this morning and watched CNN and cartoons at the same time. It sound like this:

I found this flashgame on Fark and it's pretty cool. You go down a corridor grabbing powerups and shooting albino, midget vampire things. So play it!
