I Watch: The One
So, I am now going to review a movie that I thought started as a made for TV low budget action flick... You know what that makes it sound horrible... Okay so the main character played by Jet Li is in a world where multiple universes or the multi-verse exists, you with me so far? anyway so one of his alternate selves that works for the multi-verse police, who are in charge of keeping balance throughout the multi-verse starts killing off the other hims and so on and so forth till there's only one left... Even I think this is hard to understand while I'm typing it. Anyway point being I don't plan on ruining anymore of this movie. I thought it was pretty good, some nice action scenes, no sparkley vampires, no unexplained storms when the Hulk gets sad. My only real issue is why the main bady didn't just kill everyone off who got in his way, he was basically as strong as superman.... Couldn't he have... Oh I dunno, punched someones head off and just walked off? I dunno maybe I'm looking too much into this. The better parts, or what I thought were the better parts, is that they explained why they were able to travel in between universes and had the effects timed perfectly. All in all its not horrible and plays a bit on FX and other networks, just check the guide really. If it sounds like something you'd be really interested in than see if you can buy it, I would assume you'd be able to for cheap anyway. So I hope you enjoyed the confusing read, at least it wasn't as confusing as Inception.

FIRST! (new review): Time to escape the Fallout
So, I know its an old game but I still love it. It won game of the year in 2008 and is a game I think still holds up, today I will be reviewing Fallout 3! This game won because of its openness, the story telling, the dlc (downloadable content), the way it is played, and well... the VIOLENCE! In all seriousness though, this game can be anything you want, as long as your willing to protect yourself. You could just horde things and sell them, kill anyone who gets in your way no matter what, be essentially a white night, or just blaze through the rather large story and the dlc stories that are fairly cheap to buy now anyway. There are downsides however, I mean when are their not. The V.A.T.S system allows auto-aiming, which while being a good thing also takes you out of the zone, it just breaks the immersiveness for me. Than theirs the NPC's everywhere, it would be awfully lonely without them, and sometimes they have interesting conversations with each other, but as with Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, they repeat themselves a lot. Even the radio stations are stuck on repeat, so I generally stick to the Enclave station so while I blow peoples heads up its to patriotic music. I dunno, seems more fun I guess. Anyway, one of the points of interest is visiting all of the other Vaults that are scattered around the map, while they are hard to find, they are usually worth a look if you like some darkness added to your story. Most of them make you feel lucky to have started in such a normal Vault. You can even visit the Vault company base, which has a computer with descriptions and instructions for all of the Vaults on the map. I won't spoil whats in each of them, but lets just say you are going to be happy the worst you had was a crazy leader. This game has been a favorite of mine since I first laid my hands on it, the comedy, tragedy, story, and violence of this post apocalyptic world are truly addicting. Where no game is perfect, this game is decent, I would most definitely recommend this to anyone who is low on cash, but has either an X-Box 360, PC, and I believe its also for PS3. If you think my small article sounds like something you would be interested in, it runs around 20 dollars now, and is simple to get into. My rating will be 4.5 exploded pants out of 5.
