Wendy gets in trouble when she threatens to beat up Cartman after school.
-south park.com

October 16, 2008 - It's always nice to see an old fashioned South Park episode that takes place in the school and eschews the pop culture or topical references that have become increasingly common on the show. Not that I haven't loved some of the episodes with larger themes, but it can be just as rewarding to go back to basics.

Not enough is said about the voice talents of Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Parker shines here as Cartman. One of the best scenes in the episode comes when Cartman tap dances through reasons Wendy shouldn't fight him – from lying that his mother has breast cancer, to muscular dystrophy – to insisting he'll have self respect if Wendy wants him to. This is classic Cartman, and I don't think Parker gets enough credit for being able to do that horribly grating voice and then modulate it into different levels and cadences until it sounds so singularly like the character we know as Eric Cartman.

And then, when it happens, it's sort of ugly and awful and there's bleeding and neither combatant comes off particularly well and all of a sudden it's over. Everyone just sort of stares at each other thinking, This is what we wanted to see? and attempts to mask a guilty sense of complicity behind detached irony. I'm guessing Matt and Trey saw their share of fights back in school.


As I said in my opening statement, this isn't one of South Park's breast(best) episodes. It's not even one of the best Cartman episodes. However, it's classic South Park in the sense that it takes place at the school and focuses on the kids. No Britney Spears, no George Bush, none of that. Just purely and simply the show's main characters, particulary Cartman, which, even when it's not the best, is always hilarious. The espisode does a great job at highlighting kids' excitement over a playground fight, which I think we can all relate to if you older folks remember back to your elementary school years.

the episode has lots of flaws the fight is over way to fast and the end leaves you saying that's it and their can be very boring parts.

even with the flaws this is still a good episode! watch it! http://www.southparkstudi...odes/

Enhanced Crysis Rumored For PlayStation 3

Rumors that Crysis will be coming to consoles just won't stop, which is probably a good thing for developer Crytek. Good to know that people want to play your game, especially the folks who consider a $900 PC too rich for their blood and are hungry for content. The folks dredging up the PlayStation 3 Crysis port this time are PlayStation World UK, by way of GamesRadar.

We know that the company was on the hunt for a PS3 know-it-all in the Spring of last year, but the Crytek folks have been mum since. They probably didn't want any thunder stolen from the PC version, we're guessing.

PlayStation World now says that they're hearing the PS3 version of the very pretty shooter will come packed with extras, dubbing it Crysis 1.5. But what about that rumored Xbox 360 version, listed by certain retailers? The mag puts a damper on that possibility, claiming technical reasons. Oh really? We're staying out of that one.

Consider it rumor, but given that Crytek hasn't exactly denied such a thing exists, even saying it's possible, we're keeping our fingers crossed that they'll announce something soon.

Crysis: No need to panic... if you own a PS3 [GamesRadar]]




kingdom hearts for ds trailer impressions.

WOW my friend told me to watch the trailer, and well i thought, not another final fantasy for ds, i watched it and WOW was I impressed the sound, the graphics everything was so amazing! Finally a game that I could look froward to on the ds! I may even pre-order the game! And looking forward to getting the originals on the ps 2.

The PlayStation 3 will get a host of new features and improvements later this month with the new firmware 2.5 update.

GAME PRO WRITES

The new PlayStation 3 firmware adds the ability to take in-game screenshots, a notable new feature that will need to be enabled by developers. Still, Sony representatives seemed optimistic that the new screenshot functionality would be enabled by some developers via game updates and that many future games would take advantage of the screenshot function. The physical method for taking screenshots -- what button or buttons to press -- is still up in the air, but those details should become more clear later this month when the firmware launches. We do know that captured screenshots will be automatically dumped in the PS3's Photo folder.

Though details are still scarce on the screenshot function, the possibilities are impressive. And because the capturing will be done internally, the resulting images should be pixel-perfect -- more than enough quality to build an online Flickr gallery of your favorite game moments, for example.
Other highlights of the new PS3 firmware 2.5

Controller auto-off: One of the biggest annoyances of the PlayStation 3 will finally be resolved -- players can set an auto-off in the new Power Save settings menu. This will make the Sixaxis and DualShock 3 controllers turn off after 10 minutes of non use. The Power Save menu also allows you to set an auto-off time for the PlayStation 3 (handy if you want to charge your controller before heading to bed).

Trophy updates: The Trophy comparison screen has seen several improvements, most notably a new level system that tracks player progress. Players will now have a role-playing game-style level (Level 1, Level 2, and so on) with an experience-point meter that fills as new Trophies are earned. This will allow two players to compare their progress at a glance.

New video features: Firmware 2.5 adds two subtle new video playback features. Scene Search will re-process your movie or show into 1-minute increments with thumbnails for quick navigation. Sequential Playback will daisy-chain your videos together that will, for example, allow you to watch an entire season of shows uninterrupted.
