Got Sin? There’s an app for that: Roman Catholic Church approves Confessional App
Are you a sinner? Don’t worry, there’s an app for that. The Roman Catholic Church has approved a recent iTunes addition called Confession, a $1.99 app that bills itself as “the perfect aid for every penitent.”
Black Ops Ascension Strategy
Ascension is the new Zombie map that came out for Call of Duty: Black Ops in the First Strike Map Pack. A lot of people I know who bought this game are not planning on playing this map. If you bought it(for $15 no less) you should at least give it a few plays. Maybe after reading this article you will see how in depth this map really is and also how fun it can be not worrying about some dude camping and working with a few friends against the living dead. I am going to go through some of the new stuff in this map as well as tips, tricks and my own strategy. I may forget a few things, and If I do then I am sorry. I will try to cover as much as I can. See the rest after the jump.
Defy Gravity on Xbox Live
You may or may not have read my review on the indie game Defy Gravity. If you have then awesome. If you haven’t then check it out here. The reason why I bring this back up is this fun game is now on Xbox live. Its under the indie games for 80 points. Thats only $1. That is a great deal for this game. I highly recommend you search this on your xbox or go on the xbox market online here for it. Great little game for only $1. If your still not sure then try the free trial game of it then.
Betrayal of my fandom – I might actually like “Smallville”
Smallville Season 1
I’m a Batman fan to the core.
I watched the movies. I own various seasons of the animated series. I dress as characters. I write fanfiction. I own toys, pez dispensers, plates, and so on. All in the name of my love for Batman and the Rogues Gallery.
I’ve always thought Batman was definitely the better superhero when compared to Superman. I mean, he’s a dude without a single superpower who also isn’t afraid to break a thug’s legs to get the information he needs. If Superman even bruises someone I swear it looks like he might be the one to cry. I’m all in favor of a little tough love. Plus Batman has the coolest nemesis: The Joker. How can you top that?
With all my Batman love I now have to admit that I feel like a traitor.
“Your lives have ended. What you do with your new lives is entirely up to me.” – Gantz the movie

About a week ago I had the chance to see the new live-action Gantz movie on its one day showing here in the States. I had actually won a free pass from VIZ to see it here in Nashville (it was being broadcast live from LA to theaters around the country) and convinced a couple of friends to go with me. We braved the ice that was coating Nashville that night to check out a live-action movie based on a manga and anime that none of us were really familiar with. I’d seen the first few episodes of the anime about a year prior but hadn’t watched any since.
I do have to admit that part of the reason I was so excited to see it was that I discovered one of my favorite actors, Matsuyama Kenichi (who played L in the live-action Death Note movies) would be one of the main characters.
Well, the live intro to the movie was hosted by someone who definitely was not made to host such things. Honestly, I think we would have thrown popcorn at the screen if we’d had any. It was nice to see that they had the two lead actors (and their translators) brought up on stage for a quick intro and a reminder of a Q&A session after the movie. Then it started.
“I know what that music means!” – a new kind of horror with “The Room”
The Room
Looking for a movie that will make you stare at the screen in abject horror, wanting to tear your eyes away but unable to do so? I’ve got the perfect movie for you.
It’s not the newest Saw sequel.
It’s not a zombie flick.
It’s not even an odd numbered Star Trek film.
I’m talking about a film by Tommy Wiseau called “The Roomâ€.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt cast for The Dark Knight Rises
Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been in a variety of movies in the last few years. Some of his well known roles were in Inception(so I’ve heard), G.I.Joe:The Rise of Cobra, and 500 days of Summer. You may also remember him from the hit show 3rd Rock from the Sun. Well looks like Mr. Gorden-Levitt will be in the highly anticipated movie The Dark Knight Rises. Since Christopher Nolan has worked with Levitt before I’m sure he has a perfect part picked out for him. Sadly it will be unknown to us for the time being. Lets just hope Levitt doesn’t become Robin.

Black Ops:First Strike costs $53.6 Million?
Call of Duty: Black Ops has sold amazingly well. There is no surprise that the First Strike Map Pack will sell pretty well. With any and all major DLC there are problems. I have found a few and decided to share before it is fixed. The first picture below shows the map pack download costing -1 Microsoft point. Well just out of curiosity I decided to see if it would work or not. The next picture shows it the required balance being 42,93,967,295 which comes out to be $53,687,091.19. This of course is going to get fixed and no one will end up buying it for that price, but I feel it is a worth wild to share to those who probably will not see it before it gets fixed. I apologize for the picture quality not being crystal clear, but I’m sure you can make out what it says. And before I post I have checked it again and the problem is fixed so you don’t have to worry. Just enjoy the mistake of Microsoft that is below.
