Ok, kiddies, now I know I didn’t update the last two weeks cause I had exams to prepare for.  Then, to make up for the stress of midterms, I took time off and went to Sicily and Naples;  which means people missed out on their normal dose of Jesus.  Somehow Glenn took time from being the goddamn batman long enough to notice this injustice and was all like, “Where’s my fucking column?”  Well, not quite, but I been reading a lot of Warren Ellis before bed lately (transmet + gin = odd dreams).  So in order to appease the mighty NerdFit overlords I bring you the first of two (maybe three if I get lazy and don’t want to make a real article later on) articles about my trek.

Also known as being one reason I have not written anything for Nerdfit in a while.  Thus, in an attempt to safeguard myself from Glenntacle rape, I will endeavor to discuss Demon’s Souls somehow. I find it curiously difficult to review, it being so awesome and me being so biased, so I shat this keydrivel out.

Hey everybody. brentalfloss here. Yes, it’s officially spelled with no capital letters.

Ahem…

We’ve seen it happen time and time again: Hollywood gets its oily, coked-up clutches on the rights to a beloved video game from our childhood and proceeds to butcher it royally on the big screen. The following is a short but potent list of the four worst examples.
Brace yourself; it won’t be pretty.

You want a nerdfit? I’ll show you a nerdfit.

It’s 1:00 pm and you’re sitting in the instruments lab, just you, your sample, and this monster of a machine. You place your vial on the rack, and hit the start button. The auto-sampler mechanical arm moves in to grasp your sample, making you feel like you’re an important scientist. The syringe extracts a small volume of the sample from the vial, about 5-10 nL or so. Then the liquid begins to move through the column, and the uv-vis starts spitting out data. 1 minute, nothing before the dead time, good. Then noise. Noise. Noise. Noise. Noise. Noise. Noise. Noise. Noise. Noise. Noise. Noise. Noise. Noise. Noise. Noise. Noise. 10 Minutes in, still noise. Fuck. You switch to a gradient. Noise. Noise. Noise. Noise. Noise. Noise. Noise. Noise. 30 Minutes in, nothing. Your sample wasn’t concentrated enough. Fuck, back to the lab to prepare another sample. 3 Hours later you finally get useful data. For a science so exact on paper there can be a ton of variables in the lab.

Disclaimer: This week’s edition of “Anime: Why We Hate It” contains 100% convoluted ranting, because it was written at about 1am in response to the terribleness of the fall season. But I’m going to post it anyways because I’m still a grumpy ol’ bastard.

BECK is a music anime. However, it’s not your average music anime, or I wouldn’t be writing about it, because when it comes to music, I don’t stand for things that are half-assed. My music has to have passion, has to have spirit, has to be moderately good (you can be the most passionate doom metal band in the world and I will still not listen to you), and above all, has to be real.

It is with great joy that I can claim BECK is the most real anime I have watched in years. Read on for the details, and a comparison that you know has to happen. Continue Reading

There comes a time in every young man’s life when his body starts to change in new and sometimes scary ways. For most boys this just involves a few unexpected patches of hair, a deeper voice and the realisation that boobs are totally awesome. For Melvin, the protagonist of The Toxic Avenger, puberty basically consisted of being exposed to toxic waste and mutating into a 6’6 pile of lumpy musculature. Soon this hulking monstrosity becomes a vigilante, hell-bent on cleaning up the crime ridden town of Tromaville. Only the corrupt forces of the mayor and his Dr Strangelove-esque police chief stand in Toxie’s way.
