We are having some minor issues with our WordPress installation. So there may be some uptime outages here. I will try to keep this to a minimum but please and thank you for your patience.
Everything has been updated. So far so good. Please comment if anything is broken.

So it was suggested that I explain my rating system (I actually meant to and forgot so thanks for the reminder Gamin). Basically I really love Arizona Green Tea. That is my drink of choice. So rather than giving something a star rating (I prefer star ratings over grade ratings) I just replace the star with Arizona Green Tea (the bottles not those wimpy 99 cent cans). Anyway that is basically it. I may change my rating system to something more complex like candy bars or prize fighters but for now I’m sticking with Arizona Green Tea.
It’s been a while but I have had shit to do and well I’m lazy so here is my first attempt at a game review. First off I must begin by saying I love the Devil May Cry series of games. Yes I am biased, and I don’t care. Devil May Cry has almost everything I ever wanted in a game. Violence, explosions, demons, blood, flawless action, a large variety of cool moves (that are easy to pull off), and most importantly a smart ass main character. The original Devil May Cry is still one of my favorite games of all time. What it lacked in good story telling it more than made up for in extremely fun game play and all around badassedness! That’s right I said it, BADASSEDNESS! Devil May Cry is the story of Dante, a demon hunter (who just happens to be half demon himself, on his father’s side) who works out of a bar called (yes, you guessed it) Devil May Cry. He gets a call that there is some demon mischief, and he goes and gives those nasties a spankin. Fairly simple story I know, but like I said you DO NOT play for the story. The second game was a let down mainly because it was way to easy which made it very boring. The creators of the game apparently realized this and made the third installment more challenging. WAY MORE (I am not a writer by profession so get ready to see a lot of bad grammar and/or made up words) challenging! The boss battles were ungodly difficult, but the game surprisingly enough was still a lot of fun. They made improvements on the story telling, and gave Dante even more awesome moves by giving him four different fighting styles. Which brings us to Devil May Cry 4… (more…)
For an FPS junkie that has never cared for physics, I thought Switchball would be a drag, but I’ll admit I was quite entertained. There are 5 worlds (Lava World, Sky World, Ice World, etc) with 6 levels for each and two modes for online multiplayer. The goal is to complete each level while using the motion and force of the ball that the player is controlling. The game also makes it intriguing by allowing the ball to change into different physical properties that a player can use to their advantage. Changing it into metal will make the ball heavier and vulnerable to magnetic forces, but rolling through hefty barricades will be easier. Another type is the air ball, which is the opposite of the metal ball. It’s lighter and can glide across thin sheets where as a metal ball can not. There is one more type of ball that a player can morph into, which is the most fun, but I don’t want to give too much away. (more…)
Having long been an appreciator of the fine art of stop motion animation I recently came into possession of iStopMotion a simple and fun application for making animated films. In order to understand it better I did what any geek worth his twenty sided die would do, I turned to the internet.
Doctor Who: Series 2 Season 4
WARNING: THIS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS. OR IT MAY NOT. OK, SO IT DOESN’T
Ok. If you have read my bio you know im a sucker for Scifi stuff, but there are a few bits of Scifi i am sorta devoted to. One of them is the Doctor Who series. I was one of the kids that spent many a preteen night watching the cheezy-fun adventures of a time traveler and whatever random person he decided to take along for the ride. I can’t remember much about the original series anymore but the new one has picked up all of the good stuff i remember from olden days… but that isn’t exactly what i meant to write about. A new season just started up… (more…)
Sounds like a new and altered title of an action packed movie, no? I’m afraid it isn’t, it is however, my desperate attempt to make an interesting, yet apologetic post in regards to the lack of multi-tasking skills I truly have. I tried working on a particular review for a video game while also studying and completing a few assignments for my online courses. The end result of my awesome review was pure crap. I would rather submit something worth while, then to post a convoluted paragraph just to fill in some space. I could also tell you what the hell I’ve been doing for the past couple weeks that has prevented me from posting, but I think the title explains it all.
Expect some new content soon-ish!
I have to get this off my chest before I can even discuss Doomsday. I LOVE Rhona Mitra(pictured above). Her immaculate beauty matched only by her enormous talent, and thank the good lord above, she’s finally given the chance to play a lead. Throughout most of her career she’s been cast for roles that mainly focused on her physical attraction, and not so much on her acting chops. I can’t entirely complain about this since it’s how I was introduced to her, but thanks to shows like The Practice, Boston Legal, and movies like Doomsday and Skinwalkers. Ms. Mitra’s finally getting the chance to prove that there’s something behind that pretty face of hers; talent. There….I said it. I’ve confessed my love for Ms. Mitra, and now before I turn this into a fanboy blog, or spew forth some god awful poetry. I better get to the topic at hand. (more…)
I will be delayed in posting. Frist for dice then for WordPress upgrades. Thanks for your patience.
This post has been taken over by The Admin. It will remain a system update post. 6 of 6 has been properly flogged by the electrostatic whips and will do better next time.
We have smoothly upgraded our system to WordPress 2.5 . It’s very pretty on our end, if you’re interested in what all has happened to it feel free to go to the main WordPress site and see the world through our eyes. I will show up from time to time to keep you, our readers, in “the loop” as it were, about our status here at the P2 headquarters. That is all. Enjoy your day.

I am Legend
A Review by Cade Antilles
In the vein of the post-apocalypse, I just watched I Am Legend. I vaguely remember watching The Omega Man starring Charlton Heston back in the early ’90s, and I remember finding that to be a strange film. Maybe because it was made in the ’70s, maybe ’cause I was still a kid, or it was just plain weird. Anyway, I Am Legend and Omega Man were both based on the same source material: the novel I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. (and apparently there was another adaptation in 1964 called Last Man on Earth starring Vincent Price) I Am Legend, I thought, was a very good movie.
The film follows the exploits of survivor Robert Neville, portrayed by Will Smith, alone (except for his canine pal, Sam) in New York City. We see how he lives, what he does with his days, and how he deals with being a lone survivor. At night, mutated, blood-thirsty humans roam the streets in search of prey. Over the course of the film, we are shown flashbacks to before the apocalypse, and the story is progressively explained. The setting and plot are interesting, the character of Neville is entertaining, the visual effects for the environment were excellent, and I relished the eerie atmosphere of the film. On the flip-side, the plot felt predictable at times, the creature effects were sub-standard, and there was very little that was up-lifting about it (a standard for apocalyptic fiction, I know, but it doesn’t mean I have to like it).
