Welcome back, troops.

27 01 2010

Alright guys. Goblin here, back in action and with a new mission.

I’m no longer doing it for you. No more begging for comments, no more voting. If I do a midweek mashup, it’ll be a one shot, and I decide who wins. I’m posting three times a week, with guest posters.

More reviews, more snark, few breaks and no more break downs.

Get ready, you simple-minded fools. The Goblin has returned, and not a one of you is safe.



Midweek Mashup: I give up Edition.

5 11 2009

I gave that mashup an entire extra week. Not ONE of you voted. Why? I am really kinda upset about this, because I put a lot of work into that one and got nothing in return.

I can’t even call this fight, and I don’t plan on doing another Midweek Mashup unless you guys give me a reason to.

Alright. Post in the comments if you’ve got something to say, like suggestions for a different segment.

Later. -GG



Midweek Mashup: Update

27 10 2009

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!!!



Nerd News: Bioshock $5

30 09 2009

Go HERE guys.

That’s right, for a week, you can get Bioshock for PC for $5, and if it gets deleted, it’s FREE to re-download.

If you have a PC and want this game, there’s no reason to skip it now. Get it, because it’s awesome.



The Return of Glitchy Goblin!

23 09 2009

Hey all, with the move, the start of a new semester, and CRAPPY internet for the past couple of weeks, Glitchy Goblin has had more than its fair share of bumps in the road.

HOWEVER, we’re back, and I don’t plan to stop again any time soon. Also, now I’ll be getting by with a little help from my friends, as Jamal Rice will be doing his own sporadic nerd-isms and you can expect a weekly comic to surface soon, more details to come!

Think Brains, goblinites. Later!



We Interupt this Hiatus to Bring You…

26 08 2009

SKANKS!

Yup, you heard me. Skanks. Normally, I’m above the hoity-toity nonsense in the celebrity arena, but not this time. I’m a geek blogger, and my precious blade, my long fawned over free speech, my sharpened and shined literacy has been threatened, and I’ll fall to the abyssmal pits before I let this go unchecked.

So stay with me, my soldiers, as I draw free speech from its scabard and attempt to slay my skanky foe.

Liskula Cohen is a skank, in my opinion.

Who is Liskula Cohen? Why, you’ve missed the train, my friend…

here’s a link to a picture of her, hosted by http://michelleallison.prblogs.org/.

The long and short of the ‘what happened’: Basically, a blogger made a blog called ‘Skanks of NYC,’ where she then called Cohen a skank, saying she was unnatractive and it would be gross to see her grinding some guy in a club, because she’s getting a little old to be acting that way.

Cohen contacted the blogger and the site was removed… but if what I have read is true, she didn’t stop there.

Cohen apparently called her lawyer and before you knew it, they were strong-arming google into giving up the blogger’s name.

Google relented, and the blogger was nearly sued for 3 million dollars.

Why I’m so ANGRY: Do you know what this means? It means, thanks to this case, that anyone who insults anyone can now have their annonymity stripped away and can be sued over a bloody insult that middle-schoolers use ever single day.

It means that bashing a corporation for unjust treatment can have you thrown into a spotlight and blackballed, your career ruined, and it could even mean the endangerment of you and your family. I’m talking some serious, Germany-style S.S. stuff here. Brace yourself.

I too, have now called Cohen a skank. Why? Because she couldn’t take a little bad press. Cohen flew off the handle and nearly sued a woman for a childish insult, and ruined internet annonymity forever. No more free speech, no more self-expression.

Thanks to Cohen, we can expect to see our liberties stripped away one by one, just like China has seen Google blocked and keeps its citizens from reading about their trysts. We will watch as the corporations of America invade the last frontier where we were all equals… and watch them destroy it, sinking our blogging battleships beneath the tremulous waves, because they have stolen Poseidon’s trident, and they can see us now, not as equals, but as ants.

Basically, the free speech we had on the internet is now as easily extinguished as the protesters with signs that stand outside their buildings… and will accomplish just as little.

So, because she has potentially ruined the internet revolution by making Google sell out a blogger, all because of ONE LITTLE INSULT, I say to you, Liskula Cohen, YOU ARE A SKANK. That is my PERSONAL OPINION, SO DON’T SUE ME TOO, SKANK.

Email me, if you read this, I’d LOVE to hear your side of the argument.

New posts starting Monday.



Pretend the Doctor created a time loop for a second…

1 08 2009

Posts are going to be sporadic for a bit as I move to a new apartment. The move is complete, but I’m actually ‘borrowing’ internet for this post. Hopefully I will get the top 5 up tomorrow. Along with the GOTW. Later!



Ok, seriously…

19 07 2009

Well, no comments, minimal views, and ONE vote in the midweek mashup?

All to find that my car has exploded and my apartment got dropped.

I’ll be back next week, I need time to think.



BREAKING NEWS: Metal Gear Solid Movie Poster

16 06 2009

Alright, I may suck at sneaking games, but I’ve tried my hand at every Metal Gear game I’ve come across.

They’re hard, and they kill my soul.

Now, most have already seen this pic I’m about to post… the one about Sony having a MGS Movie Poster on their wall.

Pictured: A potentially great movies poster.

Pictured: A potentially great movie's poster.

Now, supposedly, this beauty is hanging on a Sony Pictures wall in Culver City, California.

A normal blog would stop there. I’ve enhanced the image, cause I love ya.

Pictured: Same poster, but MUCH clearer.

Pictured: Same poster, but MUCH clearer.

Now, if this is true, it’s a movie where Christian Bale will be bloody distracted by genome soldiers as he fills the shoes of Solid Snake. Daniel Craig would also be playing Solid’s brother, Liquid, and the whole ordeal would be directed by Hideo Kojima himself and would be released in July of 2011.

As a HUGE fan of the storyline of these games (I’ve watched friends beat every single one on a major console, cause I suck) I would see this movie even if it was as bad as Dragonball Evolution. What about you guys?

Thanks to Substandard for the huge tip.



Breaking News: Liam Neeson Insanity

16 06 2009

So, while looking up pics to use in the photoshop image for my Taken review, I found some interesting info, and I pass it on to you, the reader.

Yknow, cause I care.

Pictured: Guess who Liam Neeson is playing next? Read on.

Pictured: Guess who Liam Neeson is playing next? Read on.

Liam Neeson has quite a few movies on the table right now, but two caught my eye and made my eyebrow arch, yknow, in surprise and awe, as well as shock and horror.

1. Clash of the Titans is getting remade, and Liam Neeson is playing Zeus.

Can’t fathom it? Think I’m lying? Both? Go check IMDB and see if I’m not right. Forget it, I’ll give you a link. Here you go.

Crazy, huh? Wait for the second one.

2. There’s an A-Team movie coming out next year, and Liam Neeson is playing Col. John ‘Hannibal’ Smith.

In addition, it’s rumored that Rap artist Common is playing B.A. Baracus.

Also, apparently now they’re Veterans of the IRAQ War, so expect the entire movie to be warped into modernism. Sad but true, internet. Sad but true.

Ridiculous, I know. Lies? You wish.

As a side note about Common, he’s also playing Green Lantern in the upcoming / never coming Justice League movie. Adam Brody as Flash, if you haven’t heard. Insane. I’m going to bed now. Here ya go.

Until the next insane movie news reaches my ears or screen, or I wake up for Tunes of Tuesday -GG
