Movies: Silent Hill: Revelation
You know those movies that come around every so often that are so bad that they're funny? Silent Hill: Revelation is one of those movies.
I don't know what it is, but movies based off of video games are usually horrendous. I don't know what possessed me to go see this, but I did anyways. Maybe it was because the first Silent Hill was ok.
So, Silent Hill: Revelation follows Heather andEddard Stark Harry Mason, Harry Mason being the husband of Rose from the first movie, as they try and settle into a new town under the guise of Sharon and Christopher Da Silva.
Why are they on the run? Because a cult from Silent Hill is looking for Heather and they wanna bring her back so that she can be the capsule for the cult's new god... or something like that.
Day one, Heather goes to school and meetsJon Snow Vincent, then she returns home to find that her dad is missing and finger painted on the wall with blood, a message: "Come to Silent Hill". So then begins the adventure to Silent Hill, so that Heather can retrieve her father and figure out the truth behind everything.
That's the shorten version of it. The entire movie I was completely confused, the plot was messy and a lot of the actions from the characters in this movie didn't make sense.
For example: two Silent Hill Cult guards walk into a horrified, rusty emergency room with a man on a gurney. Inside this ER, are creepy nurses that cannot see, and only respond to sound. So these guards roll this gurney in causing all sorts of audible ruckus, stirring the nurses.
When the nurses wake, they slash at anything and everything.
You'd think that being a guard, in Silent Hill, for however many years, and knowing the location of this room, you would know that there are blind psychopath nurses that slash at any sounds.
You'd think when pushing the gurney into the room, they'd do it with extreme caution so that they don't get stabbed and mutilated.
Nope. Instead they ram the stupid gurney into the room and start screaming at the nurses trying to push them back with their hands and cattle prod acting like they're SWAT in a giant riot. But of course, the nurses overwhelm the guards and do what they do, which is stab and mutilate.
What did you expect? Was this your first time coming into contact with these nurses? Who hired you?
Anyways, that didn't make sense and to think that this was just one scene. Try and hour and a half of this stuff.
I guess on the upside, if you stop trying to make sense of the movie, it becomes really funny, but unintentionally, because this is a scary spooky horror movie.
But what makes me the most sad is that Sean Bean and Kit Harrington are fantastic actors. They have the chops and you can see that in Game of Thrones. In this movie they seem like B-Movie actors trying their hardest to mask their English accents.
Should you go see it? No man, just go to Hi-Tech Gametraders, fork over the same amount as you would for a ticket and play the game(s).
Case and Point
Silent Hill: Revelation is: as confusing as realizing that girls don't have cooties anymore.

Nike Soccer | Mercurial Vapor VIII "CR7"
Today is the release for Cristiano Ronaldo's new Mercurial Vapor VIII's (will be on sale December 1, 2012). His new logo was introduced yesterday and we have spotted him wearing these mysterious boots in his training sessions for a while now. The aesthetics of this boot are different than the originals with the big Swoosh but they will still look great on the pitch. Other than that, the materials, stud pattern and fit should be similar. These will probably offer the ACC (All Conditions Control) technology too.
These are ideal for a pacey outside midfielder or striker who plays top level soccer. Although, they will most likely offer lower tiered versions of the CR7 Vapor too. Who's going to be the first in Saskatoon to own them?

The Other Guy: Munny's
The Other Guy is an artist from Saskatoon who spends time creating artwork on unique items. These unique items would be Kid Robot figures, specifically their Munny. Do-it-yourself Munny's are quite popular to work on around the world. They are white figurines like the one below.
The Other Guy takes these toys apart and paints/colours them to portray a theme or a character. I have always been intrigued of how he gets the idea to create the characters he does and how he does it. They are very professionally done. In the past he has sold his Munny's at expos or in-store at Unreal City. But as of now, the only way to buy them is online. Below are some of the ones that he has for sale.

Aftermath: Vamps, Tramps and Nerds - Halloween Cabaret
Thanks for those who came out last night to the Halloween Cabaret. I can't speak for the club members, but it seemed like a massive success to me.
I had a blast spinning at it. What I loved even more was having complete control over the music, from House to Nu Disco to Electro and I even threw in some Japanese tracks, heh. It was all across the board.
I shared the stage with Adam Kirk, aka Helium 3 and he threw down a fantastic set that got everybody working it.
All in all, last night was the best time I've had in a while. With the music, drinks and dancing like a fool in front of all those people, I'd definitely do it again in a heart beat.
If there are any other events that I sign myself up for, Hello Saskatoon will be the first to know.
Once again, if you came, and you're reading this. Thank you.
Also, shout outs to the Juggalos who were dancing early on in the night, I love you.

SkipTheDishes
I haven't used it yet but I am impressed with how user friendly and how much of a convenience it is. All you do is click whether you want to do a delivery or pick up and enter your postal code into the text box. Then it will have a list of the 23 restaurants here in the city that you can choose from. This includes some favourites of mine like Asian Garden, Konga Cafe and Fuzion. Beside the restaurant you can view the distance from your location, how expensive it is, delivery costs and whether it is open or not. Then clicking a restaurant will allow you to choose when you want to deliver or pick up and the menu with pricing.
Have you used it yet?
