G l i t c h y G o b l i n !

This week is simple, goblinites! It’s Halloween, and that means Saw. Here’s my favorite traps, and click here for the complete trap list.

5. Saw Trap (Saw V)

In this trap, the survivors of the group games come together and mush fill a container with blood if they hope to escape. What makes this trap so cool is the fact that, had they worked together, a little slice on the palm from all of them would have set them all free.

Ah, the irony.

4. Bathroom Trap (Saw)

The entire first movie centered here, pitting two men against one another if they hope to live. Now, Jigsaw allows the men to think they are alone with a cadaver, thinking that he’s watching from another location. However, he’s right there, pretending to be dead.

So good. ^_^

3. Save As I Save (Saw IV)

Save as I Save is a work of symbolism, embodying the terrible relationship of a couple. They are tied to a pole, with iron bars piercing them. The man’s vital points are punctured, then the bar is angled so that it pierces a non-vital point of the woman.

The woman’s challenge is to remove the bars, breaking free of her abusive husband. Of course, the husband wants to keep her trapped, both by bars and by their relationship. In the end, she frees herself of both and is grateful. Amazing.

2. Mausoleum Trap (Saw IV)

Two men, chained to some gears, being pulled into the grinder. One has his eyes sewn shut. The other, his mouth. Being unable to communicate, the man who can’t see begins trying to kill the other noisemaker, while the other man struggles to keep them both alive.

I love this trap, because the bindings on their senses are the real trap. Phenomenal.

1. Pig Vat (Saw III)

This trap was the grossest, and my favorite. Why? Because no one wants to drown in ground up pig carcasses and maggots. Also, because you can totally side with the father, wanting justice from the judge in the trap. It makes for a heart-wrenching scene and one heck of a trap.

Alright. This M.W.M.U. votes were TERRIBLE. I only got a single vote.

Guess we’ve all had a busy week, eh? Well, this one is too good to end prematurely, so I’m extending it by a week, in hopes of more activity.

As a refresher, they have the gear from Arkham Asylum and Smash Bros. Brawl. If you are unfamiliar, here are links to their arsenals…

BATMAN (thanks, malexandria)

SOLID SNAKE (thanks, bwaggleburgers)

Vote this week, guys. ^_^

As a reminder, tomorrow, the Midweek Mashup results will be in, and I still have very few votes. Vote now and comment for extra votes!

C’mon, guys, it’s BATMAN VERSUS SOLID SNAKE!!!

here you guys go! An awesome background for an awesome group of goblinites.

Gunna be great. -GG

Yo all, here we go for TOT!

First up, we’ve got a Mirror’s Edge remix, thanks to my room mate.

Next, we’ve got a remix of Torgo’s theme from Manos: the Hands of Fate. It’s terrible and yet… wonderful.

Thanks to frankiefahrenheit, Lisa Miskovsky and rainbowcemetery. -GG

Alright. Those of you who remember, here’s a pic of the upcoming A Team movie’s acting stars.

Ripped from Spill.com, “The photo includes Bradley Cooper as Lt. Templeton “Faceman” Peck, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson as Sgt. “B.A.” Baracus, Sharlto Copley as Capt. “Howling Mad” Murdock, and Liam Neeson as John “Hannibal” Smith.” and also, “The Joe Carnahan-directed The A-Team will hit theaters on June 11th, 2010.”

Here’s a link. -GG

Alright, back after a wonderful weekend. How you all doing this week?

In case you haven’t noticed, Monday’s post is out in the wee hours of Monday, meaning I’m on track for once! Yay!

This week, we’re taking a look at Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Now, this movie is good, if you’re a Star Wars junkie, but only in the right context. That hurts its rating, just FYI. Spoilers in green.

Now, this movie takes place between episodes II and III, during the previously mentioned Clone Wars. As someone whose been hearing about the Clone Wars since I was a kid, through mysterious mentionings in episode IV and various non-cannon sources, I was really excited!

But what you needed to know, what I somehow missed when I saw it in theaters, was that this movie is the first three episodes of the phenomenal series which now airs on Cartoon Network.

That being said, the concept and plot are solid, the characters are cool, the fighting is nifty, and a few design oddities aside, is really quite good. Only a few things make me a tad dizzy…

Jabba has a son… so… where did he go? And an uncle. A super homosexual uncle who talks like a southern belle. I got no problem with gay hutts, but it WAS jarring. AND very interesting, besides.

Also, Anakin’s padawan lived… which I didn’t expect, but I love her in the series. Good stuff. Lastly, they mention bounty hunters… but sadly, no Boba… not yet, anyway.

That being said, I really liked this movie, and in my opinion, it was better and far more interesting than episodes 2 and 3. See it if you haven’t already.

Glitchy Goblin gives Star Wars: The Clone Wars a 7 out of 10.

And next, an A Team update. Stay tuned!

Well here we are again. We are watching terrible films and trying to find reasons to enjoy such movies. I have tried to watch current cinema spectaculars but it only wants me to put a bullet in my brain. So instead of doing that I will reflect on the bad— films that you have probably forgotten or may not have been born yet to enjoy so study your history.

“Twin Warriors” is the best precursor to “Crouching Tiger” or “Hero”. It features the bad— Jet li taking on the entire Chinese Imperial army. There is some history behind this film. “Hero” is close but “Twin Warriors” is epic. There is no way this film is accurate but it has the best fight scenes. If you enjoy wicked fight scenes than this is for you. Historically speaking this is not the best movie but it will make you blow your load with the over-the-top fights. This is a story when China unifies into one distinct culture and the bloodshed that follows. American douche bags this is like the Civil War.

If you saw Crouching Tiger or Hero, you can appreciate the glorious fights. It is what we came to see after all isn’t it. If you liked those films than “Twin Warriors” is for you. By the way Michelle Yeoh is also in this movie, so that should satisfy all the boys with a (love) for Asian chicks. “Twin Warriors” is the breaking ground for all that Matrix-style flying bull—-. If you would like to expand your mind from that CGI stuff than look up this movie you will hate me for it later. So watch it.

If anybody has seen “The Forbidden Kingdom”, it is also an epic film. The only thing I can/should say about this movie is that Bingbing li is smoking hot. I just wish the movie were about her and not the twats replaying “Wizard of Oz”. The White Witch is so awesome I literally did not pay any attention to the rest of the movie. I wish I could have but now I need to download (…wow. Just… insert offensive line here. o_o -GG).
Damn, I’m sick.

I was supposed to get to Thank You For Smoking but I ran out of time. I will get back to my rant/love for that film at a later date. Thank you to my loyal fans and the Goblin. I love you too.

Thanks to Matt for this week’s rant, albeit a little edited. ^_^; He’s still on some meds from a recent bar… uh… ‘encounter.’ Anywho, see you guys tomorrow, Goblinites! -GG

Well, my long work hours with huge expanses of empty time combined with a DS that has a broken top screen has lead to one thing for the Goblin: Advance Games Gallore.

One of my current favorites is the fan favorite GBA RPG Golden Sun.

Well, while playing this game, I was just north of Tolbi, in the Altmiller Cave. I was fumbling around in the darkess, and used Reveal to light my path. I then moved towards a door and boom. I walked through the wall. I was still bound by the wall’s boundry, I was half behind the wall, half on the floor connecting to the wall. I walked aback and forth a few times, the game lagged, and then all was suddenly right.

Weird. Here’s another fun one for you. Thanks to kreation893.

See ya next week, Goblinites. -GG

Alright, with all hallow’s eve approaching, I want to do some more spirit and monster themed stuff.

No, I don’t need a ghost writer. That’s what my goulfriend is for. These puns are specter-tacular. I’m really getting in the spirit of things now. Did I leave you aghast?

Anyhow. This week, I’m coming forth with the Top 5 Reasons the show Ghost Hunters is better than those other ‘paranormal investigation’ shows that litter our TV stations.

5.Multiple Points of View

Unlike most shows in this genre, the T.A.P.S. team sends in multiple squads, one at a time, so that no one stays in the location too long, which would let them potentially be effected by their building fear. This also helps to back up any personal stories, if it happens to multiple groups independently.

4.Variation of Techniques

The different teams have different investigation styles. Some question, some confront, some simply listen and are quite indifferent. This means that we have different points of view and can really see how different investigators go about their work.

3.No Psychics

I HATE psychics. Not because I think they’re all fake, but because I know some of the people claiming to hear the dead ARE faking. They may be actually hearing them, for all I know, but they could just as easily have googled the location and blurted out facts from wikipedia. They provide nothing unsubstantiated, so I’m happy to see T.A.P.S. leave them out 98% of the time.

2.Attitude

The Ghost Hunters try to remain seriously calm, and usually go entirely without screaming, running away, telling the camera ‘how scared they are right now,’ and in the end, it’s all about the evidence, not meaningless personal crap that other shows throw at you.

1.Trying to DISPROVE Evidence

Most shows would simply be stoked to see a ghost on film. Not Ghost Hunters. This team instead returns and tries to disprove the footage, if they can, and debunk their own findings before they present them as actual paranormal experiences. That makes them better, in my opinion.
