    PlayLogic Anticipated: The Obscurity of Obscure: The Aftermath

    posted @ 6/10/2009 10:54:00 AM by Pandalicious


    Rule one: Don't have sex, you'll die Rule two: Don't drink, you'll die Rule three: Don't do drugs or...you'll die.. Oh...Cmon put the drugs, the booze and the condoms down...Ok...see what happens to you!

    So you thought things were safe. You thought today you were going to do the same sort of things you did the day before: wake up, shower [hopefully] aim for passing that test or getting through that performance review. Maybe, just maybe life really is as mundane as we figure it to be…or maybe things are just a tad bit…obscure. The facets of life in regards to the life lived in the light, and the life lived in the dark are often left unseen.

    We don’t mind living in the light; however what about that other half? What about shedding some awareness on ones personal darkness? That inner horror, terror, fear and uncertainty will not stay hidden forever. Will you be ready?

    Now it is one thing to confront personal demons, but the contrast in a soon to be released title [Early September release] is that is fashioned in a complete B movie sheen. So combine all the Scream movies, I know what you did last summer, Silent Hill, Resident Evil and even a dash of everyone’s favorite “ Stay Alive” [*please note editor's strong strain of sarcasm.]

    In the universe of Obscure: The Aftermath, we are thrown into a rendition of “Scream”: The Later Years. There is a group of college students having the most generic college experience imaginable…you know…the one WE all THOUGHT we’d have? [Or maybe it is just me...] So add sex, drugs sex, pizza, sex, the occasional bathroom break in the middle of an exam and oh yeah don't forget about sex. Like always the universe wants to punish these academia bound youths with horrors that they have never imagined. [Sucks to be them right?]

    So in order to understand Obscure: The Aftermath it is best to understand what happened before…Two years ago at Leafmore high, there was a group of teenagers who were trapped inside their school; they were hunted down by demonic monsters set upon them by the headmaster. Some of them didn’t make it, while others were lucky to make it out alive. So with their lives in tacked they moved on…to the next phase.

    When these dark flowers begin popping up all over the campus, it is only natural that people want to experiment on them. From this came an unknown substance that would induce strange and vivid dreams. I don’t know about you, but that sounds like drugs to me. [Ohhhhh Yeah!] Editors note: The editor does not condone the use of narcotics while driving cars, walking on the street, and being slaughtered by devilish fiends.

    The PSP is getting this game with two modes: Single player and Co-Op. It is an easy drop in/drop out system. Other features in this game are: that there are six playable characters, each with a special or unique ability. This can be the ability to climb or have additional strength or...oh I don’t know, being able to absorb dark matter. It is all in a highly detailed and rich 3D environment. The last attribute to bring up about this game is the soundtrack! It is essential to the overall mood of the intended horror and terror that plagues this universe.

    Now, I was privileged enough to see this game up close. The monsters that I saw the heroes encounter were definitely eye catching…. My personal favorite was the Vagina monster. This Phobia [which is what the monsters are called] is a female’s body with no head, naked obviously. [Alright fellahs before whipping em out and fapping away let me warn you here and now. All those fears of a woman’s vagina, what it looks like and what it can do to you...are embodied in this game. Okay…don’t say I didn’t tell you.] All along her legs leading all the way to...you guessed it was a mouth with razor sharp fangs. If that isn’t enough to dissuade you, if you are close enough to her, she will unleash her umbilical cord that will wrap around you, drag you to her V-Town and will dish out some serious pain…if not...immediate death! [I know fellahs….I know but this isn’t a good idea!]

    If I only had a PSP I would be able to physically enter this world and be able to deliver a stronger vision for you guys. But if this sounds remotely intriguing then I strongly suggest that you check it out. I doubt you’d be disappointed, however keep in mind that this game isn’t meant to be taken seriously, it is done in a style that begs us to laugh our asses off. We all know I did! Enjoy!

    Trailer Time: Where the Wild Things Are

    posted @ 3/26/2009 09:42:00 AM by King Baby Duck
    Could this possibly be one of the best movies ever?



    The creatures look amazing, and from the looks of it will have that magical indie feel that Spike Jonze (Adaptation, Being John Malkovich) is known for. I loved this book when I was a little kid, and I for one have high hopes for this movie.

    October 16 can't come soon enough!

    A YouTube Screening: The Big Empty

    posted @ 1/26/2009 11:08:00 PM by King Baby Duck
    YouTube has begun showing some very interesting short films in their "Screening Room." One film that caught my attention was "The Big Empty."

    The Big Empty


    The premise of this film is simple: Selma Blair (Hellboy movies) plays Alice, a woman suffering from pain. No doctor can truly figure it out, until she meets The Specialist (Elias Koteas); who discovers that Alice has the Arctic Circle in her vagina. Yes, you read that right. Will he be able to discover a cure for Alice, or will he just exploit her for popular gain?

    It's funny, interesting, and -- at times -- touching. Also, look for Hugh "Dr. Motherfucking House" Laurie in a cameo.

    This is King Baby Duck: "Ain't born to lose, baby, I'm born to win. I'm so Goddamn slick, baby, it's a sin."

Join me, along with new crew members Blueonic, Dark Heart, Bam Bam, Pink Taco, and Spoony Sleuth as we talk gaming, anime, music, film, TV, sports, and what's pissing us off in our "Oh, For Fuck's Sake!" section.

    As of this writing there have been two episodes recorded (one in October, one in November), plus the interview I did with Japanese punk band TsuShiMaMiRe back in September. More will be coming each week (or every other week depending on our schedules), so look out for more info as the days go by.
