Watchso they’ve unveiled the gameplay trailer for the game ive been salivating to own. final fantasy xiii promises to be a kick in the nuts rpg with many of the action game elements. im really excited to see how it turns out, but at least we know no matter what flaws the game has, it won’t be with its visuals.
im curious to find out what a “Focus” is - i think it will be some...
Catch the moment →
This is a series of pictures in which the subjects are “catching the moment” meaning they’ve found themselves in a position in which their picture can become more than it seems. It’s pretty cool, check it out.

Watchportugal. the man is hard at work right now in the studio. the band is prepping its next release, which should be out sometime this year. videos from the studio have been popping up on the bands website in the past ten days, giving us a glipse of the direction the band is heading in. it’s good to see them experiment with different sounds and styles. really good. and it’s especially...

question of the day
how did bruce get the nickname “the boss”?
Don't know why →
i discovered this a few weeks ago when tumblr (our blog service) changed their layout. i was able to see those who were following soul banger and view their blog in return. i was surprised to find that prynce had a blog. and apparently after cheddar confronted him about it, so was he.

oscar nominations →

cheddar's dream diary 1.21.09
i’m in a room with several kids from the islamic center. we’re all being jolly and having a good time. we’re definitely in a hotel of sorts, and this is a side room in the lobby. i recognize everyone in the room except for one tall girl, who seems neither friendly nor pakistani. there was definitely something exotic yet sinister about her. my curiousity about this rogue stranger...

question of the day
do you think obama will wear air force ones on air force one?
Welcome to the White House →
at noon today, not only did america receive a new president, but it was also treated with a new white house website. for anyone who visited obama’s campaign website, the new white house website has a similar feel and layout. want to know what exactly is being done about all those policies that were proposed during the campaign? just go to the site and select your issue. it seems like...

cheddar's dream diary 1.18.09
lukas was playing a show. absolute zero preparation. so what we did was let tahir, our fabulous singer, take the stage and just start serenading the audience. with egg shakers - and i mean LOTS of egg shakers (four), doug and i (guitarists) started building up a pretty sick samba beat. this, in turn, allowed dhruv (drummer) to build an even SICKER beat on top of our egg shaking, and we managed to...

cheddar's dream diary 1.15.09
i tried out two of the techniques last night and, well, call it beginner’s luck, but i was wildly successful.
lying in bed last night, i made a conscious decision of what i wanted to dream about. space exploration. not necessarily being on a wild new planet, just basking in the glory of space travel. the first part of my dream that i remember is being in a house with a bunch of other nyu 07...

Watchokay i guess today’s officially trailer day on soul banger. this was the other one i was set on posting. franklyn with ryan philippe and eva green. i’m pretty intrigued but i know that this is going to be a pretty overblown production and the story is going to be way over my head the first time around. hopefully that’s not the case. the impressive thing about this movie: only...

Watchgonna post a couple new trailers today. this one comes from a couple of the kids from the whitest kids you know, called miss march. i’m a big fan of the show, and more clips need to be on soul banger. but this is the fresh, new shit. the movie doesn’t even look all that hilarious, just much of the same subpar slap stick nonsense that most comedies possess nowadays. but it’ll have...

Goodbye Naruto -from Dattebayo
anyone who is up to date with this show knows that dattebayo was the place to get your subs from. but since TV Tokyo will be streaming the eps with eng subs aproximately one hour after it airs (this would require some sort of subscription but the eps would be free after one week, click to read more) and viz media is also streaming the japanese eps (here), dattebayo has opted to cancel their...

cheddar's dream diary 1.10.09
good looks jaaperific. although we should probably start labelling our titles because our vast, VAST audience should know what they are getting into before they jump into the post. well i haven’t had a lucid dream since the asian lady with the sega car, but last night i did have some really ridiculous images. in terms of a plot, i was living in a miniature winter themed toy town society...
My adventures with lucid dreaming
I guess this is as good a stage as any to detail MY adventures with lucid dreaming as well. Before Ali mentioned his first dream, I had never even heard of it. I’ve always had crazy dreams in the past though and I feel like there have been times that I have taken control without realizing it. This idea fascinates the hell out of me. If you take a look at the link Ali posted from his first...

An Open Letter from Watchmen Producers

cheddar's dream diary part two
well this is unprecedented. i experienced another lucid dream last night, one that lasted far longer than the one a few nights before, but definitely not as chaotic or cool. i think the combination of getting better sleep (bed by 12:30 am, up by 9:00 am) and constantly reviewing as much of my dreams as possible each morning is allowing me to pick up the patterns of dreams. y’all should do...

Ok, I know i’ve been really slack lately but I promise to pick it up. I keep thinking of awesome new things to blog about but i never really get to it. After learning the awesomeness of stumbleupon thanks to ali i’ve been fucking around with it for like 13 hours straight (oh em gee, my head asplode!). That shit is GENIUS; It’s like digg just not so much political garbage about...
