$40k to fill an ipod?

Holy fuck, 40 thousand bucks to fill my ipod (im thinking an 80gig) and i was over here thinking that 99 cents a song from the itunes store was pretty cheap, and boy was i wrong. I read this article about how one third of PC users turn to lime wire because 1 its free, and two, it obviously wouldn't make much sense spending that type of money if your that much into music. This is what the article said. (courtesy of arstechnica.com)

"Pop quiz: what music and movie downloading app is installed on over one third of the world's computers, according to a new report from Digital Music News and media tracking specialist BigChampagne? The answer isn't iTunes, nor is it any other DRM-encumbered media program that has been blessed by Big Content. The answer is LimeWire, with a presence on an estimated 36.4 percent of the world's PCs.

Clearly, the so-called "darknet" remains far and away the world's leading provider of online media content, drowning legit download services in a flood of "free." This data also should give the major labels pause in their ongoing attempts to convince Apple that $0.99 per song is way too cheap.

The labels may be tempted to take comfort in the report's other finding that, as prevalent as LimeWire is, its uptake has been virtually flat over the past year. But a recent report on nighttime P2P traffic levels found Bittorrent to be the dominant P2P protocol, suggesting that either BT clients are even more popular than the already ubiquitous LimeWire application, or that BT users download more and/or larger files.

Between LimeWire and Bittorrent, the ongoing and extremely widespread popularity of P2P as a media delivery vehicle suggest that music prices remain stuck at too high a level while the capacity of portable media players continues to balloon. Does anyone remember the iPod launch, when there were jokes about how it would cost a user a few grand to fill up an iPod at the iTunes music store? Now that number is well into the five figures for a current-generation iPod, a fact that forces users to turn to other sources of digital content if they're to come even close to filling their iPods.

And when I say "filling iPods," I do mean the iPod specifically, and not portable media players generically. Unlike non-Apple DRM offerings from movie and music providers, LimeWire happens to be 100 percent compatible with the most popular media player on the planet. This has to be a factor in its ongoing popularity—it's a free alternative to iTunes for users who just want that single or bootleg NOW, or who don't care that it takes 45 minutes to put together a complete album plus artwork at a decent bitrate.

Update: I just want to make a quick update in response to some of the more inane comments in the discussion thread, and note that the idea on which this article is premised, i.e. that a thriving gray or black market in a particular commodity is evidence of overpricing (typically from a monopoly or cartel) in the legit market, is pretty uncontroversial in economics when applied to things like drugs and non-union labor.

So I don't really understand where there's a lot to disagree with here, at least from the standpoint of basic arithmetic. I mean, gray and black markets aren't really about morality--they're about simple supply and demand.

Black markets typically carry with them a certain amount of cost for participants (i.e. the lack of government sanctioning makes contracts hard to enforce, increases risks, exposes participants to legal liability, etc.), so they're by no means "free." (This is why I put "free" in quotes in the article).

People, as rational actors, make a calculation, and they're willing to incur those black market costs when they're priced out of the legit market.

So this isn't about the "morality" of "stealing music" or any other such sentimental silliness. It's about old-fashioned supply and demand."

Classic Rock Favorates

Im bored as fuck here at work,so at break i decided to make a playlist of my favorate classic rock songs. I know im forgetting alot of good songs , but hey, i only have a 15 min break, so im trying the best i can, heres what i got so far. I'll continue adding more tracks as i start to remember some other great ones.

UPDATE!! The stupid scroll bar on the music isn't showing up so just click the last track and hit the next button, it should scroll the rest of the list down.

Resident Evil - Degeneration Trailer

Now in my opinion, all Resident Evil Movies are really really shitty, so the thought of another RE movie does not interest me in no way at all. But the key word CGI (not really a word) grabbed my attention. The Final Fantasy VII CGI Movie was pretty bad ass, maybe this is what the Resident Evil Franchise Needs. The story takes place seven years after the infamous Racoon City incident and features an all new storyline. Claire Redfield and Leon Kennedy are on hand as the main characters. See for yourself, coming to a dvd player near you.

Journeys New Front Man

Ok, so i have no idea how long this new's has been public or how long Journey has been looking for a lead man, but this morning on the Adam Corolla Show, they were talking about Neil Schon of Journey looking through You Tube for hours trying to find a lead singer for there band and jackpot he found one.

Basically i guess what happened was there then current front man Jeff Scott Soto was kicked out of the band because they were looking to go in a new direction. This new direction was i guess fucking you tube, but i can't really knock them for looking on the net because what they found blew me the fuck away.

Back in the Philippines there was this pretty popular cover band called "The Zoo". There lead singers name was Arnel Pineda, and wow this guy can sing. The band in all is pretty good, not great, but good, and they take on some pretty hard songs to cover, Songs from the Beatles, to rush, to even Nirvana, but all in all there all really good covers.

Im just gonna tell you right now if you don't believe me , then well fuck you, haha jk , but no seriously you need to check this dude out, he is a carbon copy of Steve Perry if not, dare i say better? You be the judge Here are my two favorite Covers by the Zoo. Sing little Filipino man, sing.


This one nearly got me naked.







To listen to all of there other covers, theres like over 60, go to there you tube page. http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=ndgomez777

MOVIE REVIEW - The Mist

Let me start off by saying that going into watching this movie i wasn't very excited or anxious about seeing this movie because i didn't know anything about this movie. The only thing i knew about it was from what Mario told me on this last podcast we recorded (Beyond The Grave - Episode 7), and all i had to go off was that it was like Half Life , which is a video game. So because of the fact that i love half life so much, and someone out there was reminded of it while watching this movie, i thought what the hell lets check this out.

The Mist is based off of a Steven King novella, and is about a strange mist that covers a small town one day and traps a group of locals in a super market. One of the things that worried me was that the whole movie was going to take place in this supermarket, and sure enough i was pretty much right. Half way into the movie, it wasn't really a big deal that you were stuck in the market with the people because it causes you to feel how there supposed to, trapped and frustrated. I caught myself really getting into the story once they introduced this local preacher lady that swears the mist is the "End of Days". She slowly gets people to become followers of her preachings, and it began to piss me off alot,any movie that gets me to believe in a character enough to hate em is doing a great job in my book.


So ok , a quick run through, the mist starts consuming anyone and everyone who dares walk into it, at first you just hear there screams, but slowly they start showing you whats inside the mist doing all this damage. Without spoiling the plot to much ill say this much, the "things" in the mist are not monsters, nor animals that you would see on the discover channel, but the are living things that like to kill, if that makes sense. So with that said they didn't have people in suites, but what movies these days go that route anyways, it was of course CGI. You would think that it's 2007 and the CGI in movies would be ridiculously good, but i guess they didn't have the budget to hire the big dogs so i think they had to settle for tv cg people. The first showing of the things in the mist was such a horrible display, it was really really fake looking. That had me worried for the most part cause any thing that looked that lousy can only hurt the film. Fortunately later on in the film the cg got a little better for some reason, maybe they were split up into teams to see who works on what in the movie, but the middle to the end cgi was pretty good for the most part.

The Mist delivered in my opinion, lately ive been going to the movies and seeing nothing but garbage. Im used to being bored and disappointed going into the theaters and this movie was a bit of fresh air for me, the plot was simple yet well executed, and the ending of the movie was very good, some might say just plain wrong. I was satisfied, not wowed , but satisfied , and for that reason im going to recommend all of you to go check it out. Its a good movie to watch in theaters but i think it's a great great rental if you don't mind waiting. Either was in my opinion is a fine way of viewing it.

80's Commercial In The Bag

Oh my god, i don't think Zombie House has put this much blood,sweat,and tears towards a project in a long time. Me , James,and Armando just finished the commercial for the fake 80's video game "Super Battle Commando Warrior 3", and i can safely say this is one of our biggest completed projects to date.

We went all out for this one, since it was videogame related i think a little bit of all of us went into it. Growing up during the 80's helped us a great deal in deciding the direction we wanted to take this commercial. The finished product in my opinion is more than satisfying.

Now the nerve racking part has begun, its out for the public to judge. I forgot to mention earlier, the reason this commercial was created, was to go up against other fake 80's game commercial in a G3TV contest. People from the station will be judging all of the commercials and pick 1 winner.

Even though im proud of what we done, im getting worried that we didn't do the best we could have done, even though i know we did, its just the competitiveness in me. But i would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who acted in this commercial for believing in the us and in the project. Without you guys Super Battle Commando Warrior 3 couldn't have come to life.

So far we have been getting really positive reviews, which is a relief because we really want good feedback for all of our projects, but who doesn't. Anyways, if you haven't seen it go to ziddio.com and register and vote for us. We want a good score for our commercial, even though the winner isn't going to be decided by votes, but it does help.

If you haven't seen it yet, here it is. SUPER BATTLE COMMANDO WARRIOR 3

Zombie House Being Productive

Today was an awesome ass day for Zombie House. Today me, James, Armando, and Christian completed stage 1 of "Operation 80's Commercial". What the fuck is that you might ask, well its basically this. G4tv is hosting the contest to see who can make the best 80 video game commercial, so Armando thought it would be something fun and simple for Zombie House to do, and so far he's right.

Today we all drove up to Millerton Lake and shot about 50 percent footage needed for our commercial. ZH's own Christian Espenoza and our friend Tang were cool enough to step into two dope ass roles. I don't wanna give to much away about the commercial were shooting but soon there will be pictures of todays shoot on Zombie House's Myspace Page. With all the stuff we've been doing lately, i feel really really good that ZH is back on course and motivated to be making short films again. Watch out Fresno, here we come again.

MOVIE REVIEW - Beowulf

"I AM BEOWULF" Screw that all i kept telling myself was "I AM FUCKING BORED". I don't know exactly what i was expecting coming to the movies to see this flick, i think i just wanted to go see a damn movie. I wasn't really looking forward to it , so it had plenty of opportunity to surprise me. Unfortunately this movie just ended up boring the shit out of me.

Im not going to explain what the movie is about because it'll bore me to death typing it, so ill just say this much, Trying to put serious long forms of dialogue into an animated movie just does not work for me. The fact that every human character in the moive had that dumb slightly cross eyed face on them just totally ruined the movie for me. Im the type of person that lets something as little as a misplaced eye ball ruin a whole movie for me. They seemed like they had no souls, they were like manikins that came to life or something.

Even with all the action scenes, and a naked battle scene between Beowulf and Grendell, i was still bored out of my damn mind. I think this movie should have been done with real actors. Armando was telling me that he read or heard somewhere that this movie was said to be impossible to film for a live action version. Looking back at what i saw, there was nothing shown that would have made it impossible for this movie to be made live action. Lord of the Rings basically showed me that anythings possible when it comes to these type of films.

So anyways, this movie was animated nice, aside from there dumb fuck faces, but the story line was kinda lacking and boring to sit through. Maybe i should of forked out the 14 bucks and watched it in 3D. Or Maybe not.

Grade: C- (For dope visuals, and Angelina Jolie's Digital Ass and Breasts)

MOVIE NEWS - Dragon Ball Z Movie - Goku and Piccolo Casted

Growing up i think all of us males saw an episode or two of Dragon Ball Z , so noone should be a stranger to the series. But in case you don't know it was one of the most popular Anime series ever made, go google it to find out the details. But for me, the idea of making a live action movie is very very risky, especialy if you remember how crazy an episode of Dragon Ball Z can get, it could come out really bad on the big screen.

But it doesn't matter what i think cause the balls already rolling on the live action movie. Actor/writer/director Stephen Chow (Kung Fu Hustle) is producing. Final Destination helmer James Wong will direct from a script he wrote. Ben Ramsey wrote an earlier draft. In the big screen adaptation, Goku is a powerful warrior who protects the Earth from an endless stream of rogues bent on dominating the universe and controlling the mystical objects from which the film takes its name.

Now heres the Juicy news, who is gonna play Goku? You might like it or you might hate it, but either way, your gonna have to just accept it. The lucky actor that got chosen is the one , the only , Justin Chatwin (The Invisible, War of the Worlds). Yeah im not familiar with his work, but i remember seeing the previews for The invisible. What worries me the most is how much of the actual anime are they gonna imitate on film, cause i don't think anyone with a Goku hair cut would actually look cool in real life.

Piccolo on the other hand anyone can getaway with, cause he's bald, and he's green. So i'm not too worried about how he turns out, but with American cinema, anythings possible (cough Street Fighter Blanka cough). I cough alot in my blogs. Anyways the lucky chap to play Piccolo is James Marsters ("Smallville," "Angel," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer").

So there you go, theres the scoop on two of the main characters. I honestly think that the movie wont come out terrible since Stephen Chow has his foot in it, i mean come on , kung fu hustle was a great movie. I think with his eye on Dramatic Super Power Cinema, this movie will at least turn out Entertaining enough to rent. But the kid in me is praying this movie does very well.

Video Games - Portal 18 Minute Speed Run

Now i love videogames as much as the next guy, and some would even say that i play too much *cough call of duty *cough, but this right here is just ridiculous. This was posted yesterday on www.kotaku.com and it shows a hardcore gamer blazing through Orange Box's Portal in 18 min. on PC.

Now mind you this dude basically knows each puzzle inside and out, and the way he defeats the boss is just crazy, i blame the developers for allowing these type of shananagins, but anyways without further ado , prepare to be amazed. Video is in two parts.

Kimbo Slice vs Bo Cantrell

This Saturday was Kimbo Slice's first MMA match against Bo Cantrell. Kimbo is most famous for his street fighting videos that shows him beating the living shit out of all challengers. Im glad he went legit, but for his first MMA match, i dont think he was challenged very much. Watch the match and let me know if you think this was a real challenge for Kimbo.

Video Games - Call Of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare

All my friends know that im a huge Call of Duty nut and that i have been wetting my panties for this damn game to come out already. Well today is finally the day it drops, and i took a day off of work to play it. Yay! Some people relieve stress by golfing, vacationing , etc., well i like to play games. I mean normally i wouldn't take a day off to play a game, but this is the game I've been waiting for all year.So fuck off, haha.

Anyways, a couple of weeks ago my Xbox 360 go the infamous "RED RINGS OF DEATH" and Call of Duty 4 was just around the corner. Now people who know me are aware of my never ending series of bad luck i have in life and it continues to this day. So im over here with a day off, a pre-paid game, and no Xbox 360. So what do i do? I steal my little brothers for the day.

So i basically got the game around 11 am and i have until 4 pm to enjoy in with no interruptions. So i rush home, pop that disc in ,and start gaming. I went straight for multi player, cause thats the bread and butter of this game, or any type of first person shooter. What makes this game so damn addicting is the leveling system, the more kills you get the more you level up. And with leveling up you unlock weapons and cool abilities, very very addicting.

5 hours past like a blink of an eye, and my little brother comes home. Now this dude loves to play games more than i do, so once he got home, i had to leave to go pick up my mom from work, so as i walk out, he's walking in. The first thing he ask's is , "did you get the game?". I told him yeah, and he just basically claimed back his system along with my game in it. So now im writing this, since i dont have a controller in my hand. Im cool with sharing, poor dude didn't get his own copy, and its the least i can do for him being cool about me using his 360.

So for now, i'm just chilling on the computer, until i decide to take the damn thing away from him. Ill let him enjoy the awesomeness that is Call of Duty 4 for now. With that said , i encourage all xbox 360 owners to go out and get this game. Multi player is amazing, and from what i saw when my bro was playing it, the single player is just as good. Go to circuit city , and get a free copy of Call of Duty 3 and a poster with purchase.I'm pretty sure there probably all out by now.

At ease soldier!

Zombie House Update!!!

Well me and Armando were up pretty late last night trying to get the best quality for our new short film Malevolence. It took a freakin long time but we finaly got it the way we wanted.I tapped out around 2 am. and mando trooped on till the wee ours of the day, thanks mando.

Oh yeah what took so damn long too was all the edits we had to make to our newest podcast, that James Cruz is so racist. Hahaha , just joking , It was more like us trying to get the volume up so you guys can here the damn thing. So anyways, I think im gonna spend my Saturday writing up some ideas for James' sitcom. Stay sexy kids!

MOVIE REVIEW - SAW IV

So its Halloween night, all the kids are out trick or treating, all my friends are out partying, so what do i do? I go watch Saw IV. So what? Maybe i'm dumb,but i had high hopes that maybe, just maybe this would be entertaining. Was i wrong, well of course, it's Saw.

So alright, i wanna do this while this stupid movie is fresh in my mind. So basically the Best part of the whole movie is in the beginning,in the morgue with Jigsaws pecker right in your face.I debated on walking out right then in there, i saw Jigsaws pecker, theres nothing else that needs to be seen, but dammit i stayed. Fine it wasn't jigsaws pecker that made the opening good, but it was the graphic autopsy that took place. They literally showed you how an autopsy is done, and it looked pretty good, so far i was impressed. Then the games begin, they find a damn tape in his stomach, and here comes characters you've never fucking seen before, but were apparently on the case forever.

Basically what this movie does is throw a shit load of flash backs at you.You look at jigsaws past, they change the motive on why he does these stupid games, and they basically just expect you to remember every single detail of all the saw movies so you can understand this one.

In short this movie had too many twists and turns, too many changes in story when it comes to the last flick, too many characters to follow and give a shit about. At the end of the movie you just don't know why your watching it, and basically feel robbed.
But i would be a dumb ass if i said i felt robbed, basically i went to the bank knowing there was going to be a robbery!

Wait till this movie comes out on TBS!! Sorry if my review makes no sense, thats the movies fault!

Grade: D (for showing his pecker, would've got an F if there was no pecker!! j.k.)

R.I.P

So im at the bookstore about a week ago in the celebrity section flipping through Kevin Smiths new book, and i notice Ron Jeremy had a book out. So im like hell yeah, gonna see some old porn stars, maybe learn some shit about old Ron.

Flipping through the book i noticed a section that were all pictures, so i start browsing one by one. Nothing perverted, just him with some celebs and ex porn stars.But what caught my eye was a picture of him with one particular porn star that i used to watch during high school, and James can feel me on this one i think, but it was a picture of him and Anna Malle. The caption read, Me and the the LATE Anna Malle. Late?? i said to myself, no way, this was the women i used to see on the spice channel all the time, scrambled and illegal cable! I was so bummed out, i don't know why. Me and James used to always make fun of her orgasmic moans, cause it sounded so funny to us, maybe thats why she held a special place in my heart.

So as soon as i got home i jumped on wikipedia and looked her up. , and read about the whole incident. She died Jan 25 of last year in a car accident in Las Vegas!! Holy shit no wonder why i didn't know about it , it just happened a year ago.

Anyways, rest in peace Anna Malle, your moans will remain in my heart and memories forever!

HALLOWEEN CANDY!

Todays Halloween, and im gonna get fucked up son. Fucked up on chocolate booyah!!

This is the bowl i brought to work today. This is the before picture, and at the end of the day im gonna post the after. Damn people keep taking all the peanut butter cups!!

UPDATE!!!
Someone took the fucking bowl. No after pic can be taken.

MOVIE REVIEW - 30 Days Of Night

Ok since our site is primarely horror shorts, i thought i should be doing movie reviews on Horror flicks. So this week ive decided to review 30 Days of Night.

30 Days of Night stars Josh Hartnett (The Faculty) and Melissa George (The Amityville Horror). The movie starts off with some dude walking in the snow , then stumbling upon a ship! Uh oh, troubles coming!! Thats basically the look he had on his face. Really bad snowy weather, people are leaving, people are staying, yaadda yaadda yadda then boom night hits. As you can see im not a journalist, so bare with me. So anyway, the movie takes place in Alaska, so at some point of the year Alaska has 30 days of no sun, so this is an awesome set up for vampires to come and reek havok.

So yes, this is indeed a vampire flick. The movie starts off really good by keeping the identities of the vampires a mystery. Then slowly through the film people are killed and more vampires are shown. Then it happends. The leader of the vampires show up, and he opens his fucking mouth. Now the only way i can describe the "vampire language" is to compare it to Louis Gossit Jr. in Enemy Mine, go rent it if you dont know what im talking about. The sound of the language was so fucking anoying you can tell the guy was making up words on the fly. Im pretty sure he said the same vampire sentence 9 times but they ment something different in english.

So as the movie progresses they try to make you feel sorry for certain characters of the movie, like for example an old lady dies, but at the end you dont care. Another example is where Josh Hartnetts best friend decides to kill his family before the vampires even think of getting to them, which i thought was weird. I think Reason being is basicaly the writers failing to make you connect with the characters. There was alot of moments where you were supposed to cry or feel bad for fallen townspeople, but you just dont.

Another thing i hated about this flick is how they digitaly distort the vampires faces, it was so obnoxious to look at these things knowing how fake they look. What happend to good ol fashion make up and talent.
On a positive note the movie did have a very cool feel of camera work. I liked how the movie looked and i loved the special effects when it came to deaths. Even though 75 % of it was C.G. It wasn't as noticable as in other movies. Out of all the vampires, i thought the leader looked the coolest. But he's the leader , he's supposed to look the coolest, but i realized the only reason why he looked the best is because he didn't have C.G. touch up on his face.

In the end the movie lacked pace and characters!! The movie just drags and drags, you basically feel like your waiting the whole 30 days with them. And trust me, no one wants to feel that way, especially for a movie to end.Unfortunately i did. I would have enjoyed it more chilling at home.But compared to vampire flicks that been coming out, this one was pretty good, just not good enough for me. I think everyone should wait for this one to come out on DVD.

Grade: C
