Olivia Wilde in Details magazine.
Yeah, the only thing I’ve ever seen her in is the television show House, and damn she was one hell of addition to the show. Not only is she downright gorgeous, but is a competent actor on top of it all. On top of it all, she does photoshoots like this, and that makes it all that much better. Oh, and I’ve heard somewhere that she’s in Tron : Legacy. Just sayin’ … because that’s important stuff to know. Now I have one more good reason to watch that movie eventually. But I’m still going to wait for it to come out for a home release … which will probably be in 3 or 4 months.
Hit the jump, because while there’s unfortunately no nudity, the pictures are somewhat not safe for the work environment … which I’m starting to wonder if that even matters on this particular site anymore to be perfectly honest. Credit goes to Egotastic! ... which is where I find a lot of this stuff.
My daughter the game reviewer.
I have a strange habit with video game collecting. Some people collect Atari 2600, or NES, Genesis, whatever system you can think of they collect for it. I don't waste my time with that shit because for a console system I only buy what I plan on playing. I DO however kind of collect those stupid plug and play games. You know the kind. You just shove some batteries in it, hook it to the TV and you're good to go. Now there are some damned good ones out there like ANY of the Sega Genesis based ones, Mortal Kombat, the Namco ones, and of course the venerable Atari Flashback 2. Which it's debatable as to whether or not that is actually a plug and play system since it's literally a reproduction Atari 2600 sans the cartridge slot (which, anyone with some skill with the soldering iron can put one on).
I recently got what you see to the left. Visually ... that's just wrong. But aside from that, NONE of the games on it are any good. But I think that of most of the plug and play games like this. The graphics are halfway decent, but that's about where it ends.
Every time I get one of these, my daughter wants to play it. She's 9, and I've deliberately started her off on a good regiment of Sega Genesis games and old arcade games, along with some select Xbox 360 games that are acceptable for her age. She wanted to play Mortal Kombat however, and that's where I drew the line. Instead I just popped in the Sega Genesis version and didn't bother to put in the blood code. But that's neither here nor there. Now ... she absolutely loves the Spider-Man movies, so when she saw this she automatically wanted to play it. Which is fine by me, hell, this thing was made with kids her age in mind.
She did what I typically do with these, started running through the different little games it has on it. After about 10 minutes of fighting with these "games" (well, okay, to it's defense there is a little first person dungeon crawler style game on it that I think is halfway decent) I hear her call from the other room. Here is how the conversation went :
Angela : "Daddy!"
Me : "Yeah baby?"
Angela : "This Spider-Man game sucks."
Me : "I tried to warn ya!"
Angela : "Can I play the Xbox?"
Me : "Sure thing baby-girl!"
So yeah, she's already started reviewing these shit games like her daddy. I couldn't be more proud. Now all she has to do is turn 26 so she will actually be allowed to listen to my podcast.
I was on a podcast, still haven’t gotten mine out there though.
Yeah yeah, I know I haven’t done a Wasted Seconds podcast in a while. It’s not dead, I just don’t like the idea of doing a podcast by myself and it’s hard to find people to do the show WITH where time schedules don’t conflict. I was about to record the new episode yesterday, but my daughter showed up, and she’s a higher priority than the internets.
BUT Monday morning I joined Critical Failure on his podcast over at Tiger Claw Radio “Episode 49 – Dhalamar”
Naturally because I was on it there’s an explicit tag … even though I don’t think the word “shit” is a naughty word. :) But yeah, go and check that out. And I’ll get the new episode of the Wasted Seconds podcast out there one of these days. If you wanna listen to the previous episodes, head on over to the site that specifically dedicated to the show. Which I may eventually move here once I get the time. You can also subscribe to both mine and Critical Failure’s on iTunes and whatnot.
