Linkdom chaosium coming right up!

First off, if you’re a fan of kick-ass horror movies, check out this link to the new trailer for Alien vs. Predator: Requiem. Download the HD version and you won’t be sorry. I was sorely disappointed in the first Alien vs. Predator. You’ve got cinemas two coolest monster movies battling it out - how can you mess that up? Easily, I guess. This one looks to make up for everything.

Now for a new webcomic I’ve been reading: Questionable Content. My friend Matt (well, ONE of my friends named “Matt”) sent me a link to this comic and at first I didn’t like it, saying “This isn’t funny at all!” Then I realized - it’s not supposed to me funny. It’s more of a story comic. But I will say there have been quite a few funny bits since I really got into it. It’s kind of a romantic comedy comic - with lots of indie rock and vague band name references. It’s a bit…risque for the younger set, but overall it’s pretty harmless.

With all the music references in the Questionable Content, I’ve been checking out some of the band names they mention. Here’s one called Maserati. They play ambient rock, kinda sounds like a little Pink Floyd minus lyrics. Pretty cool stuff.

That’s it for today. Enjoy!

We have a little hello chat and in the process he tells me that he wants to listen to a new band that he just discovered called Nine Inch Nails. Now, if you grew up in my generation then you’d probably know that this kid is grossly misinformed. Nine Inch Nails has been around since I was in Junior High. I try to set him straight but he refuses to believe me saying “No, you don’t understand. This is a really hard metal kind of band. You must be thinking of someone else.” I guess he must think I sit around listening to Enya and Fleetwood Mac all day or something.

I really felt my age.
