‘Halo Legends’ Anime Trailer: Alright, I’ll Bite

Published by under Video Games

So I was prepared to make fun of this Halo anime project, because that’s what I do, but I have to say, I actually think Halo Legends looks decently cool. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Halo has a shit story, but visually this project looks to be pretty impressive.

And I’m not even an anime fan, I usually limit my viewing to Hayao Miyazaki films and that’s it. But if I can download buy this for forty five minutes of fun, I’m all for it. I suppose it’ll tide me over until ODST blows my mind. Just kidding, we all know that won’t happen. But seriously, I need some new Halo, soon. I’m tired of playing the only remaining playlist on Halo 3 that doesn’t require me to spend $45 on DLC.

WoW Addicts Learn not to Be Addicted by having People Talk to them…..Through WoW

Published by under News

WoW

Turns out that if you’re addicted to World of Warcraft, your best hope is to be treated by a doctor who is treating you online in some wacko WoW room.

Dr. Richard Graham, a consultant psychiatrist at the Tavistock Centre in London, would like therapists to join the game in order to treat addicted gamers right where they’re spending all their time.

Addicted gamers don’t exhibit the same outward warning signs as most teenage anti-social behaviour issues do because they’re in their bedrooms most of the time, seemingly out of trouble. Because of this we can’t get through to them in the traditional educational environment or intrude on their actual bedrooms, we need to turn to the internet itself to tackle these problems – Via Telegraph

It’s amazing how far from reality you have to be that the only way you’ll become “human” again is by having some drone contact you in a fantasy world that you created for yourself and that other psycho addicts contributed to.

That’s like thinking you’re part of a movie 24 hours a day and the only help you can get is by someone else pretending to be one of the characters.

Personally I think I’m in a porn movie all the time so sure, I’d be happy to have a “therapist” help me out with my addiction.

Dueling ‘EvE Online’ Videos

Published by under Video Games

The fantasy:

The reality:

These are two videos I saw making the rounds yesterday regarding the space MMO EvE online. The first is from the company itself, promising that you, a lowly newb, can make choices that influence the entire galaxy. The second video shows what life is like in reality for a new player, and all the excitement you’re bound to experience.

I’ve heard the learning curve for EvE is the steepest for any MMO out there. In contrast, I signed up for Free Realms yesterday which appears to be designed by Peter Molyneux when he was six years old. It’s not bad.

Adding Celebrity Faces to Household Appliances and Mechanical Items

Published by under Oddly Enough

Celebrity Appliances

Just as yesterday we brought you celebrity faces attached to animals, today we’re taking on a bit of a different tone.  Let’s say you’re making your favorite cup of coffee and you’re about to head into your refrigerator to get the milk.  Wouldn’t it be fun if Han Solo donned your fridge and Martin Scorsese was smiling at your from your coffee maker?

OK maybe it wouldn’t be fun but it would certainly be interesting.

With the power of photoshop, here’s a look at some of your favorite celebrity faces attached to household appliances and mechanical items

Eight Epic John Woo Fight Scenes

Published by under Lists,Movies

the-killer.jpg

I once wrote a post that now sits on the right side of the site in our hall of fame. It’s called The 10 Best Movies Gunfights of All Time. As time went on, it was pointed out to me that somehow I managed to not include a single John Woo movie in the list.

Well, I just watched The Killer for the first time today, and I now realized that this was a serious mistake. As an apology to Mr. Woo, I have drafted an entire post dedicated to his awesomely orchestrated fight scenes.  Most of them are gun related, a few of them are fisticuffs and all of them are incredibly badass.

Check them out below:

A Cool Gallery of Mortal Kombat Cosplay

Published by under Oddly Enough,Video Games

 cosplay_mk.jpg

If you’re a regular reader of this site, you should know that we really love cosplay here at Unreality.  Not actually doing it, of course, but finding pictures of cool or funny cosplay costumes and posting them in galleries.  That sort of love.  In the past, I gave you guys a Street Fighter cosplay gallery, so it’s only right that I do one for Mortal Kombat cosplay, too.

Has Mortal Kombat been the more successful of the two brands?  It has more sequels, a few movies, and even some techno songs.  I know that Street Fighter has a couple of awful movies, and maybe some animated ones, but I feel like Mortal Kombat is somehow the larger of the two.

Anyway, here’s a cool gallery of Mortal Kombat cosplay.

The Morning Link: 5 Things Movie Trailers Need to Stop Doing

Published by under Morning Link

Buck

At a movie studio, once the pesky task of actually making a movie is out of the way the guys in the suits go to work.  Their job is to bend and manipulate the movie footage into a short trailer that will tell you exactly what they think you want to hear.

And it should be noted at the outset, they think you’re retarded.

Here are five things Cracked would ask them to kindly stop doing, and why they know they never will.

Head on

Click on the photo for high tech products’ cheap ingredients

Every day you are bombarded with commercials for things you have to buy to avoid ending up bitter and alone in a pile of your own, reeking filth. You trust these products, because they are state of the art and one of a kind, and because you are an idiot.

Or at least, that’s what the advertisers think

How Do You Feel About “Motion Comics”?

Published by under Oddly Enough

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ms5aEoAI150

My first experience with the relatively new fad of motion comics was when they re-did Watchmen in its entirely to be “animated” in preperation for the movie. It worked well enough, but I can’t say that I prefer it to say, an actual comic book. And I don’t even read comic books.

Even though I’m sure a decent amount of work goes into making these things, they come across as lazy, and I find myself saying, “they just should have animated it for real.” But I don’t know, they seem to be doing well enough to keep being made, so I guess someone likes them.

Do you? Why?

iLove the ‘iMurders’ Poster, Concept

Published by under Movies

imurders.jpg

Even though I thought that the trend of thinking it was cool to call something iWhatever, it seems that there was one last frontier to conquer: movies. With iMurders, we’ve finally come full circle and can hopefully banish “i” to the hell from whence it came. But wait, you want a plot summary you say?

“A mysterious love triangle leads to a tragic shooting. Months later, eight members of a FaceSpace chat room are being gruesomely murdered in the privacy of their own homes.”

Goddamn FaceSpace, I KNEW I shouldn’t have checked the opt-in “murderers will have access to your address” box.  No word on when this is coming straight to DVD (I mean, it has to be, right?), but you can bet I’m going to be first in line. I mean come on, did you ever think you’d see Billy Dee Williams in another movie?

Readers of the site are invited to friend me on FaceSpace.
