My problem with the trivia section

By inferiorego 9 Comments

So, I just spent a good amount of time going through some trivia, for fun, and there are two MAJOR problems I'm having with it. This isn't a problem that should go through a mod, this is the users fault. That's right... YOU MADE ME WRITE A BLOG! Grrrrrr...

Problem one:


True/False questions:

Go through some of these true/false questions and just click true...over and over again. Guess what? 95% of the time, you are correct. 95% of the time, you're correct, and you don't even have to read the question. In my wonderous opinion, writing true/false questions is lazy. There's no thought put into it. "Wolverine got his adimantium taken from him from Magneto. True or false". Well, it's true... the answer is almost always true! Try something like this: "What villain almost killed Wolverine by ripping the adimantium off of his bones? Apacolypse...Caliban...Magneto...Juggernaut" See, simple.


Problem two:


Correct answers:

A good chunk of the time, the person puts the right answer in the first slot. Vary it up a little, make it challenging. Again, I can just click the first answer to everything and win all the marbles! Second problem with correct answers, I don't know if this is intentional or not, but capitalization. I came across a few answers where the correct answer's name was capitalized, and nothing else was. You're giving away the answers guys, come on.



Anyone else annoyed with this? Or is it just my cranky old @ss?

Cover price

Did it cost 15 cents? I'll spend that much then. Did it cost $2.99 (or $3.99 if you're Marvel)? Then that's what I'll pay. I'm not about to spend all my hard earned cash on paper with pretty pictures on it... I already do that every Wednesday.

When a "Syfy" joke goes wrong...

By inferiorego 25 Comments

I know, I know, I posted a lot of blogs today... But bare with me...I just got off the phone with a buddy of mine, a kick ass artist....

Gorgator may become a comic book, he's doing some concept art for me tonight and based on that, we'll decide whether or not to go ahead and do the comic.

This book will be the biggest cliched action/horror/monster book you have ever read. I am super excited and laughing my ass off about it. The opening scene I posted will be the opening of the book. Get ready for the worst idea I've ever had.... as a comic.



Current Characters:
Sgt. Crash - Main Character
Lundski - Guy who dies in opening scene
Dan Montague - Scientist
Dalton - Weapons Expert
Steve Drift - Merc

Opening Scene from my future "Syfy" film: Gorgator 2

By inferiorego 11 Comments

Gorgator
By Mat Elfring



EXT. ANTARCTIC BASE - DAY

PVT.  LUNDSKI (21) stands next to the door of the large, metallic antarctic base in a full snow suit, a shade darker than the snow around him. Lundski's assault rifle is leaning up against the base as he smokes a cigarette. His face is beat red, his body trembles. There is a loud METAL OF METAL SQUEAL coming from behind him. Lundski walks to the side, puzzled.

                                                                           LUNDSKI
                                                                   Kelly? That you?

Lundski turns around, he is engulfed by a giant shadow. His stare is blank, he is terrified and the cigarette falls from his mouth.

                                                                           LUNDSKI
                                                                    Lord.... give me strength.

Lundski pulls a cross out from his jacket and kisses it. A monstrous reptilian claw, covered in black hair swipes at him.


INT. ANTARCTIC BASE LUNCH ROOM- CONTINUOUS

Three MILITARY PERSONNEL sit in chairs in a lunch room. The dead body flies through a window, blasting cold hair into the room. The men scatter. SGT. BLAST walks into the room, smoking a cigar. He looks at the body of Lundski and sheds a single tear.

                                                                          BLAST
                                                                  He was a good soldier.

Blast rubs his fingers over Lundski's eyes, closing them.

                                                                        BLAST
                                                   Rest for now son, I'll get whatever
                                                   did this to you, I promise.
                                    

That's the opening scene, hope you guys liked it.

MY Watchman Fan-Fiction!...............Super-Blog #2

By inferiorego 2 Comments

The night was dark.... musty.... Crime filled streets, kid buys drugs, mother cries. Rorschach dead no more. Life again...  Just kidding...

I Love My Music

To understand this story, I present to you, the full story that took place on facebook, BEFORE I start complaining. This takes place between myself and this arrogant cat that always comes up to our comedy shows, I can't stand the kid, but I'm usually polite in public mainly because he's friends with a couple of my friends.

Mat 'Judas' Elfring at 4:56pm March 12
crap @ss emo band (in relation to "Alkaline Trio")

Logan Schrage at 6:04pm March 12
EMO??? Emo. YOU JUST CALLED ONE OF THE GREATEST "PUNK-ROCK" BANDS, EMO? What do you listen to again Mat? 80's hair metal bands and Nicleback and maybe some 90's Jam Bands(RHCP, 311,Etc) and Probably Macho 70's Rock, right? Sorry Jimmy, but he crossed the line. Owned. B!tch. Oh and that sucks they are sold out because they put on a very intense live show and know how to bring it.)

Mat 'Judas' Elfring at 6:07pm March 12
punk rock?! hahahahahaha! They're an emo band, right up there with Dashboard.
Get your head out of your @ss you pompous twit.

Ok, so to start with, this is, in order, how the actual conversation went online, the only editing was me changin 3 charcacters to make sure it doesn't break ComicVine law. Also, I was talking to our mutual friend Jim (mentioned in one of the messages), not to this cat Logan. So, last night, after I finish my super-awesome comedy set, I go up to the bar to grab another beer and low and behold, Logan is standing there. I go up to him to say hi, and he turns his head away and says, "no, I'm not f$cking talking to you." I'll admit it, I laughed a little. I told him, "internet arguments shouldn't continue to real life" He then barated me with a rage infused speech about how way out of line I was for calling Alkaline Trio an emo band, which they are. I told the guy that he's not in the band, so why does he even care?

Next, I explained this. If you can't seperate yourself from your musical taste, you shouldn't be listening to music. I listen to a lot of crap, I'm well aware. I love KISS, and you know what? You can make fun of them all you want, I won't care. It doesn't phase my day if you can Gene Simmons a greedy pr!ck. I'm tired and leaving now.

Super-Blog #1

By inferiorego 4 Comments

Some of you may be confused, "Super-blog? Is it about super-heroes? What makes it so super?" Good question. It may or may not be about super-heroes, it may or not be in fact "super". It's just a whole bunch of stuff that's bugging me at the moment, written down here, and possibly... just possibly, some may be turned into stand-up material. So lets get this going before I lose interest in my own thoughts.

Conspiracy:

Ugh... Here's my problem with all the conspiracy theory cats on the intraweb and out in real life, it's all based on speculation, not fact. Not only that, but the ideas and scenarios within the conspiracy world are utterly ridiculous. How crazy do you think it is when people say, "The holocaust never happened?" Not only is that the most ignorant thing to say to anyone, but it's been disproven wrong time and time again. Ok, how about "the moon landing was faked"? Just as crazy, but since no one died in the process, it becomes "acceptable". Both events have tons of archived footage. Both events have eyewitnesses that swear by their testimony. Millions, probably billions, of people around the world know these events happened, except for a few non-believers, who swear by evidence that is not only preposterous, but has no scientific evidence backing it up. I'm not getting into specific details here, it's not about that. What this is about is boredom and gullibility. That's right, boredom and gullibility. The world isn't complicated, things get boring, and a great way to "spice it up" is to make up crazy sh!t, then tell everyone it's true. Sh!t, I used to tell everyone in my 3rd grade class that I had a magical leprechaun living in my closet that granted me wishes. People called me a liar, I told them to prove me wrong, no one could (because I wouldn't let them see my "so called proof"), so they started believing me because people are gullible depending on how dumb they are. The dumber you are, the more likely you are to believe garbage like that.

2012:

Let me tell you a story first. Back in 1999, when many of you were probably 4-10 years old, I was a senior in high school. I remember the first time I heard on the news that many people around the world were freaking out because the world was going to end on Jan 1, 2000. Or the rapture was coming and all the evil-doers were going to die. Or, my favorite, all the computers in the world were going to crash because there was an error in the BIOs that couldn't recognize the number "2" in the thousandths place. Then 2000 hit, and nothing happened. Everyone freaked out for no damn reason at all. You want to know what I did? I laughed, and I laughed a lot. Same thing is going to happen in 2012, I'm going to laugh at every moron that thought the planet would explode, or some stupid sh!t like that, because the Mayan calender ended. You do know, they can't predict the future. No one can predict the future. Humans don't have the power to read minds, see the future, talk to dead relatives, or move things with their mind. Nope, we're boring. This goes along with the last section too. Think I'm wrong? Maybe, but until someone proves me wrong, without a doubt, human's don't have powers. Great example, the James Randi Foundation has offered $1 million to any person who can, without a doubt, prove they have any sort of extraordinary brain power, as I mentioned above. Guess what? No one has ever won, nor even come even close to winning.

"Emo":

Lets go back to my high school days again, shall we? The punk scene split up pretty big during the mid-nineties. The sub-genres consisted of, Street (sometimes called gutter), Pop (also called Fat Wreck), Hardcore, and Emo. And all of them are not what you think. Street stood traditionally close to it's 80s punk roots. Pop was sounded, well, poppy. Bands like NoFX, Screeching Weasel, Millencolin, Pennywise, and The Vandals are some good examples. None of these bands ever really became part of popular music, it was just the title given to it. We now actual refer to it in hindsight as 90s Punk. Hardcore, that crap scared me sometimes. I couldn't name too many bands, but I did listen to A.F.I. (before they became a goth punk band, back when they were sXe hardcore), Earth Crisis, Shutdown, and Stryfe. This sub-genre would become the downfall of punk music in my opinion. Then.... there was emo. It was a brand new genre, people weren't too sure about it and the style and sound was all over the ganthet. Descendants, Get Up Kids, All, and Weezer were some of those bands. It was about being nerdy and being into your feelings and pouring them out, without whining too much, then morphed into whining a whole lot... Thanks Dashboard Confessional..... (boo). My friends were all emo kids. Black, horned rimmed glasses, short hair, button up work shirts, ripped up pants. I was a street punk, or gutter punk, for that time. Blue mohawk, ripped up minor threat, DK, or Bad Brains shirts, tight ass plaid pants. I'm not sure how the whole "emo" thing became goth. And now people call hair club people emo... (A hair club kid in our circle used to be the kids [mainly skaters] who all had the 70s shag haircut, then it became kids who have that one side longer than the other and hanging over one eye crap) The flavor of "emo" has lost it's charm and people need to come up with a different name to call these idiots. I'm sticking with Hair Club Kid.

How awesome/ridiculous would it be to see Cyrus as the bat? Every time he dies he gets smarter and weaker, or dumber and stronger. He would truly be an unstoppable force. That's all I have to say about that. No real blog action, just question answering.

Watchmen.... um.... yeah...

By inferiorego 22 Comments

My review from facebook:

"Incredibly disappointing. Every scene involving either Rorschach or Comedian was amazing, but the actress playing Silk Spectre II killed it for me. The scenes between her and Owl were really hard to watch. They came off very cheesy. If you love the Watchman as much as I do, I recommend the motion comic highly. I can understand why critics are hating on this film, as well as the general public, it's hard to follow, can get really slow, and boring at times. Most of the people going to see this are expecting a super-hero film, little do they know it's far from it."

I went with my girl-friend, who other than Fables and Y: The Last Man, hates comics, but humors me, and my buddy whose taste in comics starts and stops at, "Remember Lobo? That's the only stuff I would buy as a kid." We were in a theater at a 10pm show and there were no more than 20 people in it, great start. Problem one: Dude with fauxhawk in front of me wouldn't stop talking. 2 hours in, he and his friends stood up and were gathering their things to leave. At which point, I get unleashed and say, "Sit the f$ck down or move the f$ck outta my way kid." My girlfriend then highfived me... Anyway, I really wanted to love this film, but I ended up with mixed emotions. I love the Watchman book, it's no where near my favorite story, but a wonderful read. I had no problems with the stuff they left out of the film, my problem, as I said above was with Nite-Owl and Silk Spectre II.... Their scenes were awkward (yes I know Nite-Owl is awkward, but this was beyond that) and Spectre's acting was hard to watch. Everything else for me, was just ok... Unless it involved Rorschach or Comedian, they were both fantastic. The Dr. Manhatten stuff was just ok, didn't hate it, didn't love it.

After leaving the theater, I realized to myself that maybe this book wasn't meant to be translated, maybe it doesn't work on the big screen as well as it works in the book... I don't know, what do you people think?

Let the hate mail begin.

The Garbage Review Collection

By inferiorego 23 Comments

For those who don't check out the review section, which you should... I post the Garbage Review, my terrible take on terrible comics. Here's the one's I've done so far.

Garbage Review No 001


Everything I've been reviewing the past few months has been great, it's time for that to change... I just found a stack of early-mid 90s books. Let the games begin!

Lets take a trip back to when I was 12 years old, shall we?
NAFTA started, Cobain killed himself, George Foreman becomes the world's oldest heavyweight champ, and I bought X-Force #30... what a sad year.
But, look who's on the cover... Adam X-Treme! Man, he probably loves Stone Temple Pilots... Just like me! Seriously though, this issue sucks. Look at the cover for christ's sake! Adam is looking right at the reader, almost winking at them saying, "Dude, come on... Generation X for life! Slackers rule! I got Shatterstar's sword, just buy the sh!t already!"
Ok, the book is written by Nicieza, sounds about right.... And drawn by... Wait... I can guess...
  • Disappearing backgrounds: Check
  • Feet hidden by smoke/word bubbles: Check
  • Everyone stands in a fighter stance, even when hanging out: Check
It's gotta be Rob Leifled.... Let me check....
Tony Daniel? WTF? I love this guy now, especially his Batman run, and this book looks like a Leifeld wannabe....

Ugh, it's awful, I want to puke. Lets get back to the awful writting... I like Fabian's work, now, not back then. And after reading half of this cameo-packed book, I've realized he was high, probably on opium. Don't believe me? Look at the issue page... There is no reason this many characters need to be in an issue roughly about four people. And to boot, Arcade is the main villain. What was wrong with me? I had an "X" addiction, I bought everything with an "X" in the title.

You know what the only saving grace is in this book? The ads. Lets go through some of the best ones:
  • Wayne's World 2: I'm from outside of Aurora (where the movie supposedly takes place) so automatically, I saw it three times in the theater.
  • X-Men Mutant Gear: Marvel comics meets 90s hip-hop culture.... Awesome
  • Eternal Champions for SEGA: A more forgetable 2d fighter... It sucked
  • Fleer Ultra Football Cards: which comic nerd likes sports? Back then, everyone...

Hope you guys enjoyed the first of many Garbage reviews.


Garbage Reviews No 002


Wait a minute.... It's 2009... It's been 16 years since this book came out, and this book still isn't worth anything! The guy at the comic book store lied to me those many years ago! I even bagged AND boarded it!

This garbage reads like Hasbros Upcoming X-Men Toys list. Reused art... ugh... There is some extra Prof. X stuff at the beginning and end, but not enough for me to spend the majority of my allowance on. The book cost $1.75 back then. I made $2 a week, yes my parents were cheap. I had .25 cents left to spend on gum... This sucks, almost as much as the writing sucks. Each character has horrid dialogue next to them. Don't believe me? Check this crap out!

  • Bishop & Wolverine: Hunters, born & bred, in a world too weak for them. They catch the scent of trouble and think they know the intent of the prey.

WTF? It gets worse...

  • Cable: Play the game with me one last time mirror-friend. Run through time with me in race against the repetition of sins we've endured and caused over and over again.


Someone needs to get out, or some friends....

File-books like this one still exist today, and they're just as horrible. I'm done talking about this crap.

Garbage Reviews No 003


I'm back, against my own free will. The terrible comics won't let me go, and this series I'm reviewing today is a stinker. I present to you, the M2U masterpiece, "J2". He's the son of Juggernaut! In fact, every hero or villain in the M2U is the son or daughter of someone super-powered, it's annoying. Marvel splits this issue into three parts, I'll sum up all three for you in sections, with just enough detail to not make you want to punch 90s Marvel in the face.

  • Part I:
Zane Yama is the son of Juggernaut, he knows he is too. They make sure to tell you that his mother changed her last name back to her maiden name and that's why he's not Zane Marko. thanks for the tidbit Marvel, I couldn't have figured that one out on my own. Zane is a high schooler and gets picked on by all the bullies, a lot like EVERY Marvel character right before they discover/accidentally get their powers... Oh wait, now Zane is a naked Juggernaut, running through the school.... Ok.... Now, he smashes the bullies motorcycle... all right... Now he's Zane again, but fully clothed.... That's it?

  • Part II:
Zane has powers now, so he better have a stupid costume to go with it. He finds his dad's old costume and paints it silver, then ties a flannel around his waste... It's 98' at this point, Marvel missed out on the whole grunge thing by two years, that's a little embarrassing. Then he calls himself J2.... Awful.

  • Part III:
Zane is at the local fair with a pretty lady, hey... the bully is there too! Wait, now there is a guy in purple with rollerblades threatening people? J2 comes along, punches him, turns back into Zane and then the bully says they're best friends.... J2, not Zane.... What a giant piece of sh!t.

Spider-Girl was the only half-way decent thing to come out of the M2U, so don't bother with this book, just read my reviews and feel bad for me.

Garbage Reviews #4 (Video Review #1)


I won't do these often, this took longer to do than expected.
Yes, the lighting sucks.
  


Garbage Review No 005


Before anyone could complain, I found a DC book for 50 cents to review, and it is a crapheap. Lets start this one off right.

Awesome Ads:
  • Krusty's Funhouse for Sega, NES, and SNES: I remember it being a lot like Lemmings, but with Simpsons characters.
  • Cool World The Movie: A Brad Pitt film! I was in love with the main character as a kid. This is when big time movie companies were trying to turn on 10-14 year old boys with animated sex....
  • Top Gear for SNES: the ad says, "Shift Happens" when I was a kid, I'd cover the "f" with my finger and be the talk of the town... hahahahaha it says, "Sh!t"
  • Honey, I Blew Up the Kid: I thought it was the "baby" not the kid..... Oh well, this movie sucked, much like the comic.
  • Frankenweenie: One of Tim Burton's first films... It's awesome.
  • KISS Revenge Album: Screw Ace, Peter, and the make-up! We wrote Lick It Up!

Enough of that now.... This issue has the tendancy to tell me to buy other issues.... And I don't want to. This is what they'd like me to buy, so I completely understand what's going on: Green Lantern #25, JLE #38, Crisis on Infinite Earths (all), Green Lantern #25 again (that's right, twice), Aquaman #5. Why don't they just ask me to buy every single DC book? Thanks DC, you whore! Aside from that crap, here's my main problem... Maybe it's because all I really know of Elongated Man is post-Identity Crisis, but the guy is extremely wacky, like Plastic Man wacky. And PowerGirl is a feminist? I can tell by the haircut. There is A LOT of bad dialogue in this book, it's really hard to get through. It's like reading the Watchmen, but horrible. Then at the end they fight one of Mole Man's monsters... wait... He's not? Um... They fight Chthon..... This book is obsolutely awful, hard to read, and just not fun. How dare you JLE... How F'N dare you!

More Bunch of Cape Updates... or Bunch of Cupdates....

By inferiorego 2 Comments

Just so you know, there will be more stories. High School Reunion will be done soon enough, and many more to follow. All of us have full time jobs, so doing this book takes a lot longer than those who do this as a full time gig. So, because I like all of you so much, I'm posting the first page (first draft) of the newest script called, "Bunch of Capes: Babies" This story does NOT take place in main continuity, nor does it make any sense. All the characters in this story you officially meet in HS Reunion.


Bunch of Capes: Babies - Script
By Mat Elfring
Story By: Mat Elfring & Matt Jordan

                                                 PAGE ONE – 5 PANELS

Panel  1: Baby BEARMAN is crawling through a ventilation shaft. It is metallic, basic, and dusty. He is in a Bear-Costume onesie. BEARMAN is sweaty.

BEARMAN:                Dios mios! It’s hot in here! I’m sweating bullets. It’s itchy too. Maybe I’m allergic to something, maybe the dust?

Panel 2: Baby CRAIG! is behind him. He is also crawling, not sweating, looks happy. He is also in a

onesie with a giant explanation point on the shirt. He also has that same mask on, connected together by

that white elastic string.

CRAIG!:                      How can you be hot? We’re in a air conditioning vent. I think it’s pretty cold. But all I can think about is your Bear-Butt because that’s what I’m looking at! Get it?! Bear-Butt?

Panel 3: Baby 20 FOOT LINCOLN, or 10 FOOT LINCOLN, is behind Craig! he is confused. He as a

 fake beard taped to his chin. He’s in a tuxedo onesie, and a tiny top hat that is also connected with that

white elastic string.

                                                Panel 4: LINCOLN gets the joke and starts laughing.

                                                20 FT LINCOLN:                    Tee hee! I just got it.

                                                 Panel 5: BEARMAN turns around, pissed off, big fuzzy butt with poofy cotton ball on the end.

BEARMAN:                Quiet!  I’m serious, look at me. I’m sweating! This is more sweat than humanly possible.

CRAIG!:                      Maybe if you weren’t such a baby about everything… *(use baby?)

BEARMAN:                CALLANTE sell-out!
