			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have seen the movie Pan&#8217;s Labyrinth before this, it won&#8217;t surprise you to know that Guillermo del Toro directed both of them (in addition to the first Hellboy). Because of his directing, The Golden Army&#8217;s visuals are done quite extremely well, and the movie as a whole lives up to Dark Horse&#8217;s Hellboy comics and does them justice. The visuals are better than that of the first Hellboy (also a good movie), and Ron Perlman&#8217;s reprisal of Hellboy is fantastic. As the antagonist, it&#8217;s eerie how amazingly alike Luke Goss looks in this movie as he did in Blade II. He uses the close to the same type of color and style makeup and looks almost exactly as he did before. The DVD was released in early November and is a must see for comic book-movie genre fans. That being said, as visually appealing as this movie is, if you did not like the first Hellboy, you won&#8217;t like the sequel.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now there is a way to find other gamers to play with as well and finding new ways to continue your online gaming. In blending a Facebook-type of <a href="http://meetagamer.com/home.php">Social Networking site</a> with an outright gaming site, users are encouraged to upload their own photos and expand their own network of friends in order to find more people to game with online. If your regular team isn’t cutting it in Halo, meet up with some new people who can actually watch your back. The best part is that virtually everything that is done on the site in a networking site allows users to earn points. If you get enough points, you can spend them on things like Wii Points or Xbox 360 Live points. Even <a href="http://meetagamer.com/signup.php">signing up</a> scores you points immediately, so invite friends and upload your photos to buy Xbox Points and buy your favorite Rock Band songs.</p>

<p>One of the best Cartman scenes in a long time, and that&#8217;s even including the Breast Cancer Show Ever scenes.  He goes from stealing TVs after the Obama election and finds himself in one of the most unenviable positions - hanging with Scott Malkinson. Season 12&#8217;s second half has been nothing short of spectacular, with the Pandemics, Randy&#8217;s reaction to Obama&#8217;s election, Mr. Queermo&#8230; and, of course:<br />
&#8220;Shut up, Scott Malkinson&#8221;</p>
<p>If you like South Park (i.e. the politically incorrect) you can see more clips and even full episodes <a href="http://southparkstudios.com">here</a>.</p>

<p>&#8220;Citizen Soldier&#8221; by 3 Doors Down is an excellent song, the music video of which depicts an American soldier through a number of phases of American military history, including the American Revolution (I fired the shot that started a nation) as well as World War II and the current wars in the desert. The song can be summed up by one of the music video&#8217;s parting words, &#8220;We are Free because of the Brave.&#8221; A little late for Veteran&#8217;s day, though.</p>

<p>The sequel to James Bond&#8217;s revival starring Daniel Craig, Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace picks up right where Casino Royale left off in an almost immediate continuation. Quantum of Solace also begins much like its prequel, with a lot of visually appealing and therefore destructive chase scenes. This movie is a good one and a good sequel to an excellent movie, but in the end Casino Royale is still the better film between the two. Quantum of Solace is still worth seeing, especially on a particularly slow opening Friday.</p>

<p>Meet the Wildlife trainer, a little boy who needs pads and a helmet to give treats to a (his) domesticated dog. It&#8217;s little more than him and the cameraman running around squealing like little girls. These are the same squealing tough guys that put firecrackers into a baby doll. Apparently the baby is supposed to go boom, but I think they might have to wait about five years before puberty sets in then they can ask their parents if they can upgrade to big boy explosives.</p>

<p>The new single from In This Moment off of their latest album The Dream. Almost a complete 180 from even the &#8220;Beautiful Tragedy&#8221;, with nearly the whole album, save the end of it, using mostly clean vocals. Vocalist Maria Brink&#8217;s clean vocals have improved drastically since the last album, allowed In This Moment to base an album almost completely off of them. The entire album is great in a way apart from the first, and really not comparable in an &#8220;apples and oranges&#8221; kind of way.</p>

<p>A how-to of finding an Easter Egg in Fallout 3 - the Intelligence Bobblehead. If you can find it without having to use this video too much, you shouldn&#8217;t use it. I still don&#8217;t know why people insist on pointing a camera at a tv or computer monitor. Instead, you can use some sort of video capture programs on the computer or just rig something on your tv to record it. It&#8217;s really not so difficult, and the quality doesn&#8217;t look absolutely awful.</p>
