Entered on: April 26, 2008 9:27 AM by Jackzilla

Kentwood - A comic book store clerk is in the hospital this morning after being shot during an armed robbery. Police are still looking for the person who held up Apparitions Comics and Books off of 28th Street in Kentwood.

The shooting happened around 7:00pm Friday night. Police aren't sure if anything was taken yet and continue to investigate. The man responsible for the shooting was seen running away from the scene. Michigan State Police search dogs assisted Kentwood Police in looking for the suspect.

It's a fucking dangerous job I have is all I'm saying!


 
From: BigFatty Entered on: April 26, 2008 11:05 AM

I don't think it was a robbery, just a guy that had enough of the Comic-Guy attitude.  Your customers are going to learn from this and you will have eight-year-olds packing heat to do some Pokemon trades.  Just make sure you have the bigger guns behind the counter - or better, get a Special Feats. card that gives you Long Shot or Trick Shot abilities.

 


 
From: Jackzilla Entered on: April 26, 2008 11:50 AM

Very impressive Fatty, I forgot that you were one erudite mofo on Heroclix(TM).  I'm rolling with an In Contact With Oracle card behind the counter here though!  Sure it's retired, but it's my store and I can roll Unrestricted if I want too!  HA HA HA!  Am I right, ninja?

 


 
From: Ross Entered on: April 26, 2008 5:39 PM

Don't worry, the cops won't catch the shooter.  Cops don't care, and Michigan state cops are among the most corrupt in the country, as Fatty in particular knows.  

Good luck, Zilla!

You may want to borrow Rad's Thor hammer for protection....


 
From: Radmobile Entered on: April 27, 2008 10:01 AM

Jack, I think what you really need is a Fortitude or a Protected.

I've been to that store a couple times.  You can always tell you're about to enter a sweet store when there's a sign that says "Don't let the cat out."  So was this frog-guy Jack?


 
From: BigFatty Entered on: April 27, 2008 3:47 PM

Maybe you should be throwing on the Capt'n A costume with the padded muscles.  A mofo would think twice about messing with a fully muscled Capt'n A.  Plus the small travel-sized shield would add another layer of protection.

 


 
From: NickNick Entered on: April 28, 2008 8:09 AM

I was also wondering if this was the frog guy or the ponytail guy.  They didn't show a picture on the news.  Good thing you're store is out in Lowell instead of Grand Rapids.  All though, you still might have to worry about the rock salt loaded shot gun.


 
From: Bunky Entered on: April 28, 2008 11:40 AM

So will Rad and Ram be picking up a copy of Getto Theft Auto 4 tomorrow as well? I have not played 1,2, or 3, but may grab a copy on my way back into to town...

Maybe Jack can use his newly acquired car jacking skills and put them to use if his store should get robbed...


 
From: Radmobile Entered on: April 28, 2008 12:08 PM

I'll definitely be partaking.  I'm not sure when, but I'll be picking it up for sure.  It could even appeal to all you multiplayer-lovers.  Check it out.

I HAVE MY COPY OF GTA4 AND WILL BE ON TONIGHT!

One day before release?  Is that Swerb-Sweet(TM) or what!?

IGN Rated it a 10.0 (their first 10 since 1999).  The story is apparently really good -- great for you single-player gamers!  This next-gen version also adds full online multiplayer support!  2-4 in co-op and up to 16 in various other modes!


 
From: Bunky Entered on: April 28, 2008 12:34 PM

I think after seeing the Jon Bon Swerb photo, Swerb-Sweet has a whole new meaning!

How are the Barbie features? Can I accessorize? I want to be ghetto-fabulous when I am car-jackacking bitches! I am just hoping you can look more like Barbie (TM) and less like Bratz (TM) dolls....

Now Zilla, GTA 4 isn't released until midnight tonight, so if you were to have a copy, some may consider that of the illegal brand....


 
From: Radmobile Entered on: April 28, 2008 12:35 PM

Any word on my copy Jack???


 
From: Bunky Entered on: April 28, 2008 12:38 PM

I comes with a contract requiring so many hours of multi-player shenanigans..


 
From: Radmobile Entered on: April 28, 2008 12:41 PM

I'm all set to sign those papers.

Me too! I could't resist the hype. When one guy said it is the best game to come along in 10 years and it gets 10's from IGN, Game Spot and a number of other respected critics that never (well, only 1 other occasion) give out 10's.

We'll see if this one motivates me to hop on live. I hear those with the PS3 get to play it on-line for free.


 
From: Ross Entered on: April 29, 2008 11:57 AM

Holy shit, I was going to rent it, but after hearing about how great it is (as I am unthinking fool who only listens to critics to know what's good), I might buy it soon. 


 
From: Radmobile Entered on: April 29, 2008 1:15 PM

I have my agents working on getting me a copy while I'm at work today.  Bunky, I expect to see you up in Liberty City shouting "I'm driving here!"  I farted arround with Jack on it last night and it appeared to be pretty entertaining.  My favorite time was when I jacked a garbage truck and ran over some people in a gun fight while honking the big truck horn.  Their reactions were priceless.  Especially when you consider our character was a chick in a rainbow cardigan.


 
From: Bunky Entered on: April 29, 2008 12:45 PM

OOH, rainbow cardigan and a garbage truck? I am out the door and off to Gamestop! Yes, I am picking up a copy today.

I would like it noted, however, that I have not read one critic's review. I am only buying it for the mutli-player options!


 
From: Radmobile Entered on: April 29, 2008 1:14 PM

Well, I was just confirmed via e-mail that I have the coolest girlfriend ever.  She picked up the game for me.  (I'm pretty sure she's going to be playing it before I get home though.)


 
From: NickNick Entered on: April 29, 2008 1:24 PM

So, are you and Annie gonna pick up a hooker together and make a car windows steam up and then beat her and take your money back?  Will you take turns?


 
From: Radmobile Entered on: April 29, 2008 1:35 PM

Of course!  It's fun for the whole family.


 
From: Jackzilla Entered on: April 29, 2008 3:10 PM

Couples that abuse hookers together stay together.

I'll be on later tonight GTA4in' it.  Bert - Are you in?  Bunky?


 
From: Bunky Entered on: April 29, 2008 3:59 PM
Yes. Right after Patrick and I beat some bitches and ho's.
 
From: Bunky Entered on: April 30, 2008 10:07 AM

Rad, you probably won't hear me saying "I'm driving here" anytime soon. That would imply that I could actually drive a vehicle around Liberty City.

I am going to brush up on my Ghetto Slang this morning so I can understand what other online gamers are saying to me when they are talking trash. The only inner-game dialogue I understood last night was when Zilla shouted out "Negro please..."

I completely suck at this game. To make things worse, my default character started off looking like a cracked out Magnum PI, while Zilla's character got to sport the sweet rack!

Creeko, now is your chance. Use your free month of LIVE pass that came with GTA 4 and diddle away.


 
From: Creeko Entered on: April 30, 2008 2:35 PM

Roger, Iniciating free month LIVE pass, I can't wait to take full advantage of all that Viva Piñata has to offer.


 
From: Bunky Entered on: April 30, 2008 2:53 PM

Yeah, I can imagine the hours of endless entertainment that will bring you creating your own pet pinata paradise in multiplayer fashion.

Watching a pinata grow online with a bunch of other people has to be way more fun than doing it alone. Did you "Creeko Up" your pinata and have it sport a sweet mullet and red shoes?

I imagine the competition gets pretty fierce online when the bags of candy come out. Good thing all the 12 year olds are busy playing Halo 3.....


 
From: NickNick Entered on: April 30, 2008 2:59 PM

From: Bunky Entered on: May 1, 2008 4:13 PM

Keep up Nick Nick! It's GTA 4 and Iron Man weekend! We gotta have our priorities! Even Rad jumped in last night despite all of the online process fornication.

From: Creeko Entered on: May 2, 2008 5:22 AM

I've somehow lost Bunky and Zilla from my friend list on LIVE and Rad never botherd trying to be my friend. Ramshackleton and Monkey T are still my friends.

 

I'm gonna cash in my free month trial so look for me. I'm CREEKO73, send me an invite.


 
From: NickNick Entered on: May 2, 2008 8:15 AM

It appears that I'm the only other person in the world that has not jumped on the GTA4 bandwagon.  Balls, I'm missing out.

 


 
From: Bunky Entered on: May 2, 2008 9:51 AM

Creeko, you've gotta watch out for that Rad guy. Once he's on your friends list, he'll send you questionable photos.  I am not even going to disclose what he'll say to you when you are alone on the headsets....

Zilla, did you say Fatty will be back in GR? Well I hope he doesn't plan on playing around with that free PS3 online bullshit at his Dad's house!


 
From: Ross Entered on: May 2, 2008 12:37 PM

I don't have GTA4 yet!  I'm feeling left out.  It's next in my GameFly queue, but I have to finish Condemned 2 first, and then it's probably at least a week turnaround to get the next game in my queue.  Should I just bit the bullet and buy it?  Is it that good?

Oh, and speaking of being back in GR, the Johnsons will be making a trip during the week of May 19 for a few days.  Not sure whether it will be M-W or W-F or what (I'd like to see Indy that Friday if we can do the latter).  So plan accordingly!


 
From: Bunky Entered on: May 2, 2008 1:19 PM
There is some process fornication issues with the multiplayer features. We were having some issues with it the other night. It's like Ghetto Halo to me. It appears to be fun, but Rad, Zilla, or Robot would be a better reference. I am still trying to learn to drive.
 
From: Radmobile Entered on: May 2, 2008 1:36 PM

If you played the older games a lot and liked them, then it's definitely worth it.  Multiplayer has the potential to be fun if they can work the kinks out, but who know how long it'll be fun for.  I imagine I'll enjoy it more than Halo, but I'm probably in the minority there.


 
From: Bunky Entered on: May 2, 2008 2:09 PM
I wasn't expecting the excessive swearing from the game. I am used to it from the players...
 
From: NickNick Entered on: May 2, 2008 2:20 PM

I hope they have a moped in this one.  There was nothing better than trying to outrun cop cars on the beach with my moped.  Also, I hope they have pipe bombs.  I can't remember what game it was but I once witnessed Jack run around a game for at least a half hour and just blow things up with pipe bombs.  This, of course, was accompanied by Zilla's infamous cackle.

Speaking of Zilla.  You looking for fifth wheel to go see Iron Man with you tonight?? 


 
From: Jackzilla Entered on: May 2, 2008 2:47 PM

NickNick - We're seeing Iron Man at 10 PM tonight in Lowell...  Come with!  (I'll be buying Ang & I's tickets when I go home just to be sure I have a seat).

Bert - Didn't you play the other GTAs?  Its worth the money if you ask me.  The story mode is long plus the multiplayer should give it legs!

I gotta say, as much as I like it and Halo 3... Gears is still my fav.  I gotta play some more of that sometime soon...


 
From: Bunky Entered on: May 2, 2008 3:19 PM

I can confirm that GTA 4 has Jack's cackle... I do love me some Gears and a smoke tag.

Later bitches!  I am off to Iron Man!

Hey Swerb,is Judas Priest's Metal Madness tour heading your way this summer? I got my presale info today for an Aug. 30th show today.I probably won't go. I saw Rage Against The Machine at the same venue last year and it took me 3 1/2 hours just to get out of the parking lot after the show.
 
From: NickNick Entered on: May 8, 2008 3:39 PM

Judas Priest??  Wouldn't they be around 104 or something??

 

And now for something completely different.

really


 
From: Bunky Entered on: May 8, 2008 3:54 PM

Nick Nick, do you not recall Swerb having over 3,000 cd's in his office, all organized in alphabetical order? Why would it matter if they were 104 if you are fan of metal?

First off, they would be around the same age as the guys in Black Sabbath. I believe their bands formed around the same time, which would fall somewhere around 1968. Swerb can give you alot more detail I am sure, and correct me if I am wrong.

Second, in the world of Rock Band, Judas Priest's album Screaming for Vengeance (1982) is the first complete album available as downloadable content online for the XBOX 360 and lame ass PS3 gamers. Now, there will be a whole new generation of chitlins who will only know Judas Priest as the songs from Rock Band!


 
From: Swerb Entered on: May 9, 2008 6:08 PM

The Judas Priest tour is a coheadlining jaunt with Heaven and Hell (basically, Black Sabbath with Dio (sweet!) singing instead of Ozzy), with Motorhead and Testament opening... I've been drooling about this tour for weeks now... bought my tickets on Thursday. This is the sweetest metal tour ever. They may call it the Masters of Metal tour, but I call it Old Farts in Leather '08. I can't wait.

I saw Judas Priest on their last reunion tour, and I have to say, it was one of the funniest concerts I've ever seen. Definitely the gayest metal show ever... not just Rob Halford, but the other guys in the band, who would all line up next to each other and play each other's guitars, apparently oblivious to the symbolism of their actions.

Age matters not. Both Dio and Halford can still sing every note of their classic material, unlike Ozzy, who's a joke these days... part of me is going to this show out of genuine fanhood (never seen Sabbath with Dio) and the other part is because it will definitey be a hoot, rife with moments of fine cheese. I mean, Priest's new album is a double-disc concept album about Nostradamus, which is amusingly ludicrous.

Priest has actually been around longer, although Sabbath essentially created heavy metal (more specifically, guitarist Tony Iommi). In its early incarnation, Priest was more traditional rock 'n' roll. They're definitely the second-most influential band in the genre, no doubt, with Iron Maiden being third. I could go on about this stuff for weeks...


 
From: Bunky Entered on: May 9, 2008 6:29 PM

See Nick Nick! I knew Swerb was the Supreme Authority and would not disappoint us with the facts. Even Fatty couldn't Goregle that shit!

Why are you writing movie reviews and not writing for Rolling Stone or another music magazine?

Damn it! You are making me want to suck it up and buy tickets! The venue is in San Bernadino and holds 50,000 people. At RATM, people we lighting fires everywhere, and it was pure chaos. I did not get home until 6 in the morning.

I spent 3 hours waiting to get out of the parking lot, 2 1/2 driving home, and 1/2 in some drive thru line getting food for the nephews. Fortunately, we had the DVD player with 2 screens in the car so we watched Mr. Brooks and and some other movie while we were waiting.

I swore I would never see another show there again. My husband is not a fan, so he is out, but I have some friends who would gladly go and pretend to be young again with me.

Are you going to the Chicago show? The date out here is Aug. 30th.


 
From: Swerb Entered on: May 9, 2008 7:03 PM

I'm going to the Detroit date Aug. 18. The venue is actually pretty decent, a 20,000-ish outdoor shed. I didn't even buy the expensive tickets, and still paid more than $70 each for seats... I really can't justify spending more. The most I've paid was like 90 bucks to see Bjork last year...

I actually used to cover music and review concerts for the paper, but burned out on it really quick. I've interviewed Halford and Dio and lots of other rock stars... my interest is mostly metal, and when you're reviewing Bon Jovi and John Mellencamp and Kid Rock, well, blurg.

Bert and I actually went to see Rage, I dunno, 10 years ago? It was the most violent show I've ever been to... people were fistfighting with security guards.. grouping together at the tops of the stairwells and running down them en masse so they could get onto the floor and into the pit... sheer insanity. Good show, though.


Do you still dig the heavy stuff, Bunky? Me, I'm all about Slayer and all the heavy death and black metal, the super-nasty baby-eating Satanic Viking shit, with swords and corpsepaint and spiked armbands... some people grow out of it, but I get more obsessed with it as I get older...


 
From: Bunky Entered on: May 9, 2008 7:24 PM

Rage put on a great show, but the crowd was a giant group of idiots. It gave me no hope for the future of our country. 

They were completely understaffed to handle the crowd. It was a complete joke. They made throw out my water when we walked in and the guy next to me had a huge bong hanging out of his pocket and walked right in! And by huge I mean over half of the bong was visible.

I will listen to just about anything. I have a pretty diverse taste in music. I rarely by cd's anymore because there are very few that come out that I like. I will always by a new release by TOOL, but I hate the pop shit that is out and I refuse to listen to the radio.

I have mellowed with age, and I guess marriage. While my husband likes TOOL and will listen to bands like 18 Visions, he never ventured over to the metal side and still finds it odd that I did not have to read the words to the old Metallica songs on Rock Band. I think I scared him singing Blackend.

My kids are only 6 and 8, so I try to avoid the baby-eating Satanic Viking shit. I don't want to scar them too young!


 
From: Bunky Entered on: May 16, 2008 10:38 AM

Creeko, are you going to jump in on any online adventures with us before your free pass runs out?

I will be kind. I will save the special treatment for Fatty's XBOX Live Free Trial debut during the holidays....

I have heard you can take Locust hostage in Gears of War 2. Fatty, are you ready to be my hostage? I love me some Locust in nice, tight, chaps!

Ross, what do you know about Star Wars: The Force Unleashed? I know you usually keep up on this stuff...


 
From: Jackzilla Entered on: May 16, 2008 12:01 PM

The sweetest thing I've seen in Gears 2 is the ability to pick up and carry a body of a downed foe and use it as a meat shield.  That opens up all sorts of possibilities of the diddle variety!


 
From: Ross Entered on: June 29, 2008 7:13 PM

I tried out GTA4 with RobotSpider this afternoon... pretty fun.  I recently finished the single player storyline (that's why I didn't respond to invites the other night, sorry Jack and Bunky) so I decided to give it a go online.  Whoever said it was a bunch of street hooligans playing got it right in my experience - but they die just as nice as anyone else.  It was actually much more fun than I thought it would be. 


 
From: Bunky Entered on: June 29, 2008 9:34 PM
I may have to give Ghetto Halo a go again...
 
From: RobotSpider Entered on: June 30, 2008 5:16 AM

So, I have played GTA IV online about a half-dozen times, and it's been fun, but I've never been any good at it.  For some reason (Ross's influence?), I finished at or near the top in every game we played.  Here's the secret: kneel.  Kneel like you're an altar boy and Father McPhelia just offered you the sweet 'Easter Morning Service'.  (Just a side-note to have the PoD spark up my cauldron, I'll be down in 5...)  Kneeling makes you more accurate and, apparently, harder to hit.  Forget weaving, ducking, strafing, dodging.  Just kneel.

But yeah, GTA has an EXTREMELY high level of DBO (douche-bag opponents).  I don't know what it is, but WOW, I broke the chocolate-mute button on my controller after only my first few games.  It's always bothered me that some players just need to constantly hear their own voice.  At least give me something entertaining, but the non-stop stream of blathering...  It's usually 14 year-old boys, though there are exceptions... Bunky...

I'm game to party GTA-style whenever the whole crew is ready.  I haven't touched that game since the first week it came out!  If I recall, the frustration of the party system (everyone must join at once, there was always someone that couldn't connect) hurt my enthusiasm -- but perhaps they fixed those issues (??).


 
From: Ross Entered on: June 30, 2008 8:14 AM

Odd.  Spider was able to join my game (without my knoweldge, even) and vice-versa without much issue. 


 
From: Bunky Entered on: June 30, 2008 8:52 AM

For some reason, I actually threw GTA4 in my travel pack this week.

I suppose getting yelled at ebonics style by 14 year olds is better than getting offered to trade good feedback for boob shots on the LIVE cam....


 
From: NickNick Entered on: June 30, 2008 10:31 AM

You trade good feedback for boob shots on Live??

Damn.  I gotta get me a 360.


 
From: RobotSpider Entered on: June 30, 2008 11:08 AM

Yeah, I don't know if they changed something in one of the patches, but when I saw 'shackleton playing GTA IV, he just had the 'join session' arrow next to his name in the dashboard.  I just selected to join and I got right into the same game, no waiting. 

Once you're in the game lobby (before the game starts--the black screen with the game options and other player names listed) you can actually change which team you're on.  It's in the list of host options (map, time of day, weapons, etc.), but even if you aren't the host, you can still edit which team you're on.  Maybe this was obvious to others, but it took me a while to find it since I thought those were just host options.

 


 
From: Ross Entered on: June 30, 2008 11:10 AM

No, I never could figure out how to change my team. Thanks for the info.

I'm picturing a musical montage a-la Weekend at Bernie's where you see Jack water-skiing with Jay-B's corpse, a tearful, yet light-hearted flashback of Jay-B's life culiminating in a smoke-tag and some against-the-wall dry-humping, Locust-style...  I can't wait.

From: Bunky Entered on: July 12, 2008 10:13 AM
Zilla, I believe it is "Oh, YeaaaaHHHH!" You can hear Zilla faintly in the background. I will have to ask Jade for a brief rough cut with the dialogue.

Not to bring politics into it... well, no, that's exactly what I'm doing...

This is a typical Republican tactic; blame-the-victim.  Next, you'll be asking what he was doing in Tyro Station, dressed like that, at that time of night?  He was just asking for it. People only go to Tyro Station for one thing at that time of night... sad, sad, sad.  Cry

I think it was the tight Locust chaps and his F-Me work boots, not to mention, everyone knows why you go to Tyro Station at that time of night... I'm just sayin'. If you listen to the audio carefully, you will hear his Locust "oh, yeah" moan. He was asking for it. I think the fact it made it to video makes it a bit awkward for him.

Typical Democrat. Start slinging mud before all the facts come out. hey, if we were all socialists, we'd be too busy standing in line to get bread to get killed by "friendly fire." And we'd only be able to play video games every Tuesday and Thursday because of energy rations. Before anyone starts firing back, I'm a socialist/democrat/green party/what the fuck, nothing's working anyway. Oh, and Jack always seems to be the "victim" of friendly. Always planting himself in front of his friends, sticking his ass in the air. He IS asking for it.

Bunky: Earplugs and devil horns in hand, I'm off today for the Metal Masters concert! I'm totally geeked. Been listening almost exclusively to Motorhead for two weeks now...

Swerb, post some pics! Did you get the Vans? I am jealous. I could not find any takers out here. My husband was a firm no.

Bunky, you could probably find someone to go with you in a game of UNO online.  Of course, they'd have to go with you or at least someone over 18, but I'm sure they'd have a good time.

For anyone not familiar with UNO on XBOX Live, there is a strange phenomenon happening for people who have the XBL Vision Camera hooked up when they play UNO.  Apparently, from what I've heard**, there seems to be an excess of 14 year-old crank being displayed.

 

**For the record, I own neither UNO nor the Vision camera.

Well, my camera phone totally sucks, so no pics. But I did find this from the Detroit News:

Awesome as this picture is (not to mention Heaven and Hell's set) Motorhead was easily the best band. No fuckaround, just ROCK. Priest was pretty amusing, but I'm afraid, mostly cheesy. Drank a few beerz... 66-year-old Dio hit all the notes... Halford can still sing... some skanks in the crowd, one of which wore a skirt that didn't even cover the bottom of her ass... final conclusion: Lemmy is a god. Motorhead is headlining in GR next month, and I'm Totally Fucking There.

That picture is sweet! That guy had to be stoked he got to lock horns the man who started it all!

The interesting thing about these type of concerts is the crowds. There tend to be a lot of skanks in the crowd, some of the older brand who should not be wearing small clothes. I play it safe with a t-shirt, jeans, and some chuck taylors, or flip-flops (Robot Spider's favorite).

Who is Motorhead playing with in GR?

Being a girl I have to ask, what metal shirt did you wear to the show?

Bunky: Motorhead will be touring with the current bastardization of the Misfits, believe it or not. Have you ever seen Motorhead? If not, make a point of doing it. Great band, never disappoints, and believe it or not, getting better with age.

And you know, I have a closetful of metal shirts - probably 75 of them? At least. If I'm not at work, I'm wearing one. What's great about shows like this is, it's one of few places where wearing Wolves in the Throne Room garb is socially acceptable.

No wonder you can do all those push ups, Swerb. You're always wearing metal shirts when the rest of us just wear cotton. (Sorry, I couldn't resist.) The only "metal" concert that I ever attended was Metallica at the palace about 10 years ago. If I remember correctly, it was the King Nothing era. They put on pretty sweet ass show but it's just not my thing.
