Hey guys. Please don’t hate me, but I got to go to an advanced screening of The Avengers! It was awesome. Here is a quick review that I promise to be spoiler free.

In short, this is one of the greatest movies I have ever seen. I know that is a big statement, but I mean this. I mean think about it this way. This is The Avengers movie. Very few movies have this high of expectations, but I was still completely blown away. Seriously. Without giving anything away, this movie is exactly what you want it to be. The story is stratifying, the heroes are epic, the villains are evil, the fight scenes are action packed and as a special bonus, the funny parts are actually really funny. Witch brings up the big question, how did Joss Whedon do?

Now if you are familiar with his work you will see Joss Whedon’s finger prints all over this thing, and trust me it is not a bad thing. Everyone in this movie gets a laugh line in this film, but Ironman is the only one you would define as funny. The laughs are situational and play out perfectly, and never distract. There is no “Buffy speak” in this film, but you defiantly feel the Whedon style in the script writing and character development.

Lets talk character for a moment. With so many rich characters in this film, you may be afraid that your favorite character may not get enough screen time. Let me put your concerns to rest, everyone gets their time in the spotlight. Thor does show up a little late to the party, but like the drums in a Red Hot Chilli Peppers’ song, he could not have shown up a moment sooner. I mean if you are a big War Machine or Natalie Portman, you may be bummed out, but if I had to pick one character I wish had more screen time believe it or not, I wanted more Pepper Pots.

While they all get their time, someone does steal the show, and about 75% into the movie you think it is Loki. He now defines the word villain with the prefect mix of smug, ruthlessness and pure bad ass. But then this guy decides that he is awesome:

That is right. You walk into the theater going “Meh, Hulk,” and leave wondering the first two movies were not a (wait for it) box office SMASH! I will admit some of the lines I could hear Ed Norton saying in my head, but Mark Ruffalo does a fantastic job making a super intelligent scientist with a monster inside of him relatable.

So go see this movie. Not like you needed me to say that, but see the movie, because the first thing I said was “I need to watch Dark Knight again, because I might like this movie more.” It has everything you want out of a Marvel movie. Make sure you stay after the credits, and I mean all the way after the credits. Stan Lee makes his cameo, but I kinda felt it was week because there were two other places you could have stuck him that would have been great, but maybe after Spider-man 3 they learned less is more. Lastly if your crowd does not audibly fill in the blank, you saw this with a bad crowd.

Hey guys we have a brand new web show! It is called Glitch Out! and we has the pilot right here for your viewing pleasure.

Just a video from the college humor folk that TJ was in. Enjoy!

TJ has another sketch just in time for 4/20. Not sure what this has to do with Hitler’s birthday… wait what?…. That’s what people do on 420?…. Oh…. Ok…. ENJOY!

So we are back from Anime Punch. How was it? Imagine a train wreck, but out of the train wreck a beautiful phoenix flies out, then the phoenix was hit by a tornado. It was like that.

Let me explain. First Will was unable to make it to the con because he had another commitment, so I called on axssilery +2 Comedy member Alex Pearlman!

Next TJ gets booked for a major commercial. So not it is just Alex and I driving and we are hoping that TJ’s flight makes it to us on time. So we start the long drive discussing the new 52. We get some Burger King in us and Alex takes a nap in the car. We make it to West Virgina when the car problems start. Ac is weak, cruse control is not working, we are sputtering and the check engaine light come on when we go up hill. AWESOME.

The car limps to the hotel and that when things get better. A few Anime Punchers remember me which makes me feel all special and junk. THANKS GUYS! We check out the con for a bit and it is awesome just like we hoped. Spent some time in the video game room where I had to eventually pry Alex off of SSX. Crazy collection of games. Spyro the Dragon. Portal 2. A Neo Geo Cabinet. Good stuff. After playing some Metal Slug I checked out the video room I must say, this was cool.

Now that’s a good way to spend a weekend!

Any our first panel was “Making your nerd job a reality.” Always a fun panel to do, even if TJ could not make it. Met some really cool people if you get a chance check out these fine folks.

Hey, they are more responsible then us and already wrote a review of the con. Check that out here:
http://ismellsheep.blogspot.com/2012/03/revoluticon-battle-report.html

They also take good pictures.

So after our panel we headed to do our Stand-up panel. Luckily TJ was able to make his flight and we had an incredible show. To make the night even more special we were treated to a performance by Robert Murrison!

Who is that? Well lets go back to our first con. Many moons ago aka two years ago at Anime Punch he saw us perform…

…and partied with us.

…and was inspired by us. In face he told me that he got into comedy because of us. Awwwwww. So we let he perform for with us. It was a blast!

So we had a super awesome time with that but our fun was just starting. Check out this awesome picture.

That is TJ and a unicorn. Now you might be saying to yourself, “Why is TJ wearing that odd hood?” And to you I say, why are you not staring at that hot unicorn? In any case the hood is part of the Assassin’s creed LARP! You had to sneak up on people and say some crazy phrase. One that I can still not pronounce. Sadly this was my down fall.

The day was suppose to end with the Henti Olympics, but sadly they were canceled.
<.<
>.>

So the next day we partied until it was panel time and we whipped out Beyond the Tentacle and it was there that +2 Comedy achieved one of its dreams. We played a video so sexy some one got a nose bleed. SCORE!

Lastly, we did our new panel, Chat Roulette Smarts! While we had some problems with the computers but other than that, we had a blast. Can’t wait to do this one again.

Then the real fun started. AN HOUR OF HYPNOTOAD!

We really watched this for an hour. PROOF!

Sounds like we had a good time right. We sadly my car broke down so it was fun spending 800 on that. Oh and then we almost got killed by a tornado. Really.

That is the tornado shelter we were in inside a buy buy babe. Yeah we almost died in a pun!

Over all Anime Punch put on another awesome con. Hope to see you all soon!

So here is the the plan. Make a list of 100 things ever nerd should do at some point. Do all the the things on the list. Make a video of each. PROFIT!

TJ Del Reno here with my quick review of Uncharted 3:Drakes Deception Enjoy!

You run through the streets in a Baghdad village dodging bullets from strange men in Hugo Boss attire. The game needed more charting and less firefights. Every time you found a new room you were being shot at. “Wow would you look at these flying buttresses oh dear god they found us!” I just want to open a door decoding a mummy’s ass and not reloading my Uzi every five minutes. The game was made for Co-Op and I should know I played it alone and every door reminded me of how much of a house hermit I was. “Hey Sully help me with this door because Mr. Mc-No-Friend here doesn’t have any buddies on the Playstation Network that can help him hit the Triangle button.” Which is true I didn’t know people were on the PS3. I just thought it was a fancy DVD player that needs to update every five minutes to make it easier on hackers to learn your Mastercard account. In a nutshell I took more shots from men in suits than a hooker on Wall Street.

So +2 Comedy went to Almacon in Michigan a little while ago and I just had to share some of the fun we had. Well not all fun, but mostly fun.

You see this is the first con we decided to fly to. So we were going to fly from Newark NJ to Detroit MI, then from Detroit MI to Lansing. Easy right? No. Not easy. Here I will let TJ explain:

So there we were. Snowed in Detroit. Our bag full of all of our DVDs, CDs, and raffle stuff sitting somewhere in Lansing waiting for us. What to do? Well we called our ride, THE AMAZING LILLIAN, to drive to get us in Detroit and drive all the way back to Alma. Lillian, you are awesome. We really hope you don’t hate us. So we had a few hours to kill in the Airport and you can only play Fluxx and We Did Not Play Test This At All so many times before you get bored so we made this video.

Boredom at it’s finest.

So Lillian picked us up and we drove to the motel. It looked a little bit like the Bate’s hotel, but we passed out right away.

So then we got to the con, and while small, one of the nicest cons I have been to. Everyone was super friendly, and incredibly helpful. Sadly I was unable to go to any of the panels other than our own, but we did check out the video game room. Got a few games of SMASH in and I played a little bit of Super Mario 3 on an actual NES, but then we found it.

Gauntlet Legends on the 64? Thank you, I think I shall. We could have stayed there all day… but TJ wanted to witch the controller and froze the game. TJ is an ass.

They also had an awesome rave:

So our first panel we Pirates VS Ninjas, but without our bag we had to swap it for making your nerd job a reality. Which turned out awesome.

I know there is a lot of empty seats but it filled up nicely and we met some super cool people who were…. super cool. We explained ways to become an artist, a voice actor, an actor, a comic and of course how to teach the internet. Once again no one wanted to talk to me about ARGs or wrestling. But hey HAL was there!

We then went on to host a charity auction where we we raising money for that relay for life who works with Cancer research. We went on to raise over $700 for charity including auctioning off a signed DVD of I believe Evangelion (I was tired at this point and don’t remember) which went off for $200!

We then played the dating game. Unfortunately do to circumstances beyond our control we were unable to take our winners out on a date, but they were given some free +2 comedy pins so it all works out in the end.

We then did our show which went awesome. I did my new GPS joke and TJ did his new George Lucas bit. Both are now our favorite jokes.

Then we had a panel about con horror stories. We joined Kyle Herbert (Ryu: Street Fighter IV, Narrator: Dragon Ball Z) and Chris Niosi who was the voice of Noah (Dats my name!) on Yu-Gi-Oh! and created the following video which Will and I used to play on our radio show all the time.

We also joined the awesome Team Con Doc who decided we need to do this panel again sometime soon. Perhaps we will see +Who CONedy in the future!

We then got to rest. That was much needed because it was close to midnight at this point and TJ was cranky because someone (me) accidentally spilled a monster energy drink on his laptop, but it was a Mac. Not like it was a real computer. The fine folks at Alamcon (Zack and Emily) were then nice enough to take us out for pizza. GOD I love buffalo chicken pizza.

The next day was our last show and it was our blue (comic talk for dirty) show. So where was that show? A CHURCH! Yes in a church we got to make jokes about cum, Jesus and banging Ann Frank. (This was not one joke BTW.) This show was truly a blast!

Overall this is one of the nicest con I have even been too. It is still small, but growing fast so please support it!

Hey guys, I usually get in trouble for talking wresting, but me and Will worked out a deal where I am aloud to do so the month before Wrestlemania, so feel free to tune out if this is not your thing, but I really need to say this.

It all started on Bleacherreport.com, easily may favorite website for wrestling news, because they also have great articles. However, one of these articles upset me. That article being WWE: 7 Reasons Triple H vs. Undertaker 2 Is the Right Move which you can read here. (P.S. This is technically HHH VS Undertaker 3)

If you don’t feel like reading it, the first point they made was that there was a lack of other options. WRONGO! Here are some great options. Seven of them actually. And all people who have already been active already in the WWE. I did not even include possible returning stars like Christian, Del Rio, Mysterio, RVD, Shamrock, Lesner, Austin, Lashly, JBL or The goon! Enjoy!

7. HHH VS Kevin Nash

Now just because I don’t want HHH to fight Undertaker, doesn’t mean I don’t want him on the show. I honestly though this was the plan for the beginning. When Nash returned HHH and him were constantly attacking each other while staying away from each other. One would hurt the other, sending them on a month vacation, then they would switch. I knew that they were building towards a match, but I thought it would be at Mania, not TLC. And it is not like TLC needed to be the end of the story. They could have kept this thing going for the biggest show of the year.

Also, THIS is the match that Shawn Micheals should be the guest referee. They are talking about having him refereeing the HHH VS Taker match. Gee do you think he is going to be bias? I mean it is his best friend VS the man who ended his career, who does Shawn like more? If it was a Hunter VS Nash match we have Shawn’s best friend VS Shawn’s OTHER best friend. Now it makes sense to have him in a match and I am interested.

6. Undertaker VS Drew McIntyre

Not my first choice either, (In fact, he is like my sixth) but I include this because there was a while there that I thought this was the where things were going. Drew has been on a downward spiral for a while now. He was given the advice by Teddy Long that he needs to do something to impress him. This same advice was given to Randy Orton in 2005 and he took on Taker that year at Mania. I felt we were going to walk the same road.

McIntyre was “The Chosen One” by Vince McMahon, but chosen to do what? How about end the streak? We bring Vince back to yell at him for being a disappointment and to motivate him. Vince is going to beat The Undertaker using McIntyre to prover that Mania is the house that Vince built, not The Undertaker. Taker wins, gives respect to Drew for a great match, giving him a push, and chokeslams Vince to hell.

5. The Undertaker VS The Miz

It is a battle of “The”s!

Seriously, what are they doing with Miz. Here is a guy that was the champ at last year’s Mania. He looked strong coming out of the Rumble, by staying in as long as he did after drawing #1. Looked good coming out of the chamber, finishing second. Now there seems to be nothing for him. He has moved passed R-Truth, he looked like he was Money in the Bank bound, but that match might be out. What is left? A part in the Long/Laurinaitis feud? He deserves better than that.

You see the core of The Miz is that he gets disrespected. The vets would not let him into the dressing rooms. They said he would not make it to the WWE. He did. They said that he would never be champion. He was. They said he would not beat Cena last year at Mania. He did. They say he can’t beat Undertaker this year at Mania…. will he prove us all wrong again? The Miz has done everything he said he would do. He is indeed awesome, so what is the next step? Immortality.

Lets look at Big Show’s Wrestlemania history, shall we? WMXV Big Show loses to Mankind for the chance to be a ref in the main event. WM2000 Big Show is the first one out in a four way match with HHH, The Rock and a retired Mick Foley. WMX-seven (the worst named Mania ever) Kane wins over Show and Raven. Show is the one who is pinned. WMXIX loses to Taker. WMXX Show falls to Cena. WM21 Show loses to a Somo Wrestler. WM22 Show gets his first win in Mania history tagging with Kane. WMXXIV Show loses to a boxer. Wrestlemania XXV Show vs John Cena and Edge, Cena wins, Big Show is pinned. The last 2 Wrestlemanias Show has actually won, but they were forgettable tag matches. The point is BIG SHOW HAS NEVER WON A SINGLES MATCH AT WRESTLEMANIA!

It looks like Big Show will go down as the biggest loser in Mania history, unless he does something big, and let me tell you that big thing is not a match with Cody Rhodes. No, you give Cody to Santino. Big Show needs to do something that makes history. It is nothing personal, it is just something he needs to do. Big Show needs to beat the Undertaker as badly as Undertaker needs to keep the streak alive. One becomes immortal, the other, irrelevant.

3. The Undertaker VS Chris Jericho

The master of the viral video promises the end of the world as we know it. How? By becoming WWE Champion… again. Really? That is suppose to end the world? He was the first UNDISPUTED champ. The WWE Championship is really chump change after what this man has accomplished. The only thing he has left to do, is end the streak.

Did you know the first one on one match between these two did not happen until 2009? It’s true. I was there. I was in Connecticut that Tuesday for Smackdown! and saw it and it was magical. Magical. On Smackdown!. It can happen. It was fantastic and Y2J ended up tapping. If memory serves, the only other match they had was No DQ that Y2J won with some help from Edge. It is all tied up. Who is the better man? What is a better way to find out then at Wrestlemania?

Y2J come back with some Undertaker like videos. He then talks about how the current WWE roster is full of Chris Jericho Wannabees. Everyone is just a rip off of Jericho. Everything today’s wrestlers do has been done already and better by Chris Jericho…. well everyone except The Undertaker. So at Wrestlemania he doesn’t want to beat The Undertaker, he wants to out do The Undertaker. He wants to out Undertaker, The Undertaker. He wants to prove that anything anyone can do, he can do better.

2. Undertaker VS Mick Foley

Can you believe this has never happened? When you think about The Undertaker’s greatest feud who is the first to come to mind? Mick Foley. Yet the two have never faced off on the grandest stage of them all.

Imagine this. Mick come out, upset about his performance in the Rumble. He wants to give his kids a real show. Then it hits him. No one has a better record at Wrestlemania than The Undertaker, but no one has a greater record against The Undertaker than Mick Foley. Undertakers refuses the man saying that Mick Foley is not the man he used to be. This sends Mick into a downward spiral. We see Mick attacking random wrestlers, lurking in the boiler rooms, detached from reality. They send his good friend JR to talk some sense into, but all he gets is gibberish. JR asks Mick to pull it together. He responds, “Why do you keep calling me that? My name is Mankind!” and slaps on the mandible claw! Undertaker deems him worthy and the greatest brawl in history comes to Wrestlemania.

Now you might say that age is a factor here, but it is not like HHH is a spring chicken. Sure Foley is not in the best shape, but he never really was. These two are willing to put it all on the line. If this match happened age would not hold them back. If anything the PG rating would.

1. The Undertaker VS Dolph Ziggler

Dolph Ziggler. Yes Dolph Ziggler should face The Undertaker at Wrestlemania. Now stay with me. In Drake Oz’s article his number one reason for HHH to face The Undertaker is because it will prevent upcoming talent from getting buried, and here I am about to bury the hottest upcoming heel. Well I am not, just listen.

Warning, this will make you wish this was actually happening, and ruin your Mania experience.

Ziggler is seen studying and working out. He is doing crunches and watching The Undertaker’s matches at Mania. He is promising at Wrestlemania he will do the impossible when he faces The Undertaker. It will be the ultimate show off. Undertaker (along with most of the crowd) does not see him as much of a threat, but we see him score some great victories on the road to Wrestlemania. We then see him fight Kane. He is able to reverse a chokeslam and a tombstone with ease. The Undertaker turns the lights off and his image is on the screen. He tells Ziggler that he will soon rest in peace. Ziggler ignores him completely and beats Kane with a Zig Zag. The week before Mania Taker cuts a promo on Ziggler. Fearless, Ziggler come to the ring and tells taker if he wasn’t scared he wouldn’t be trying to play mind games. He slaps Taker in the face and leaves.

At Mania, we see a great contest that we know both men can give us. At the finish Ziggler his the sleeper. Taker is going down. The ref goes to check the arm, but Ziggler waves him off, and hits a Zig Zag. A studied Ziggler knows that The Undertaker always kicks out after one finisher. So instead of going for a cover, he picks him up for another Zig Zag. Again no cover. He taker Taker and puts him on the top rope. Top rope Zig Zag. There is no way that even The Undertaker could kick out of that.

Cover…

1…

2….

Dolph pulls up The Undertaker’s shoulder, and does some crunches. He had THE UNDERTAKER beaten at WRESTLEMANIA, and he decided to show off. The ultimate show off. If you saw that and did not get up and scream, you are not a wrestling fan. The Undertaker starts to stir. Ziggler is ready with another Zig Zag but taker catches him into a Last Ride. Cover. 1. 2. 3. Undertaker lives on 20-0 and Ziggler will be known as the guy who had it. Who did the impossible, and threw it away.

My point here is that the WWE had plenty of options but they needed some writing. Undertaker VS HHH in a Cell will probably be good, because of what it is, but for writing, it is kinda lazy. To make this match is like pizza. You throw those ingredients together and even if it is bad, it will be pretty good, but if the WWE took some time, they could have created something truly special. Instead, we are left reheating Wrestlmania leftovers.
