Chicago Bears sporting new Nike uniform

Nike has unveiled a new uniform for the Chicago Bears! Not much as changed and still shares the traditional feel that we all love with the Bears.

The new jerseys are done in a classic Bears style. The most notable difference is that the player numbers are on the shoulders instead of the sleeves, allowing for a bigger George Halas logo on the sleeves. The jerseys are more fitted than in the past, but that is as far as the obvious visual changes go. Other changes to the uniforms include a lighter belt ring, and numbers that are sewn into the fabric as opposed to sewn on to the jerseys, allowing for a more lightweight uniform.

Brian Urlacher was sent as a representative to check out the new uniform and tweeted this photo to everyone.

While the uniform does not mean a whole lot to me and I am sure others, I would rather the Bears play better as they have been and dominate. I think the new players we have recently acquired such as a new WR Brandon Marshall will help us out a lot and hopefully get us to another Super Bowl!

But with that said I absolutely love and dig the new glove design (top right image).

Brian Urlacher, Linebacker for the Bears, also tweeted about the new uniform stating:

Brian Urlacher: “new jerseys are sweet…Classic Chicago Bears look.”

One of my must see movies of 2012? Ted

You may or may not be familiar with my list of movies I want to watch in 2012 but if not, not only have I just added this movie to that list but I also felt it deserved its own post too. The movie is called “Ted” and stars Mark Wahlberg whom is one of my many favorite actors as well as Mila Kunis and Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy).

I think this will hands down be one of the best comedies of the 2012, you can check out and think if it will be for yourself by watching the trailer below.

Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd Working On A New Film

Dan Aykroyd may not be having a particularly easy time getting Ghostbusters 3 off the ground, but that doesn’t mean he’s giving up on something made. In fact, Aykroyd recently announced on his Facebook page that he’ll be teaming up with fellow Saturday Night Live alum Chevy Chase to pen a new comedy film.

Details on what the film will be are extremely light at the moment, but Aykroyd did at least say that he’s excited to work with Chase again.

“Cannot say too much about the concept, but the joy of working with him again is one that I am extremely excited about,” Aykroyd said. “Chevy is one of my favorite people, and one of the great anarchistic and physically committed comedians in the business.”

The last time Chase and Aykroyd teamed up for a movie was 1991’s Nothing But Trouble, which just so happened to be Aykroyd’s directorial debut. If you’ve never heard of the film before, that’s likely because Nothing But Trouble was a flop in just about every sense of the word. Hopefully their last movie project isn’t an indication of what we can expect with their new comedy film project.

Since then, the two actors have gone their separate ways, with Chase recently landing a gig in NBC’s comedy Community, while Aykroyd has been keeping a relatively lower profile, starring in 2010’s Yogi Bear. Aykroyd is also said to be starring in The Campaign, an upcoming political comedy from Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis.

Netflix passes on Terra Nova after FOX cancels the series

I am extremely disappointed that Netflix has decided to pass on Terra Nova after FOX cancelled the series. I would have possibly put some good faith back into Netflix again and resubscribed if they would have saved the show. At least I just cancelled my membership with them this week and this is one of the main reasons why I did so. Which has been happening a lot to Netflix lately because of the how fiasco with them not too long ago, them splitting their service and networks not renewing with them.

It is not all Netflix’s fault though, you also have to blame FOX for actually deciding to cancel it after taking a few months to decide what they were going to do with it. It is really upsetting seeing how it is a great show and people that love the show would love to know what happens next season and so forth till it has ended. Not only that but we all really want to know what the Badlands are, what is there, and how it all came to be.

There is a lot that Fox could have done to cut costs, other shows have either done it or have survived with such ratings. Then there is advertising, for a show to survive you kind of have to advertise the show exists. I only saw a limited amount of advertising of it but at least more than other shows. They could have even gone as far as putting up Terra Nova posters in Museum; unless they did that. I hope some network decides to pick up Terra Nova, it would be nice.

Elder Scrolls MMO to be revealed early as May

So I read a rumor that Bethesda and ZeniMax Media are getting ready to reveal on a long-rumored Elder Scrolls MMO, possibly as soon as May.

According to a report from Tom’s Guide, “inside sources” claim that the Elder Scrolls MMO, apparently titled Elder Scrolls Online, will take place “a full millennium” before the events of Skyrim, putting it in or around the “Second Era” in Elder Scrolls lore.

The report goes on to say that Elder Scrolls Online will have three playable factions, each represented by the insignia of a lion, a dragon, and some sort of a bird of prey. Specifics on possibly races involved with the three factions weren’t shared.

The site adds that Elder Scrolls Online will likely be shown alongside Doom 4, and the two games will likely be on the show floor at this year’s E3. Subsequent showings are said to take place around this year’s QuakeCon, which takes place after E3 in August.

Tom’s Guide points out:

The fact that ZeniMax and Bethesda are working on an MMO is hardly a secret, as related job postings have been on ZeniMax’s website for quite some time now. What remained unknown until now was the universe in which this MMO would take place. While some were certainly hoping for a Fallout MMO of some sort – a game that ZeniMax and Bethesda control the publishing rights for – that is not to be the case.

I think this game would be really cool, I am still playing my first MMO called Rift and would love for an MMO like Skyrim to be released. It would be really cool if it were like Fallout but that will not happen due to licensing issues that will probably never get sorted out. I would also love if there were to ever be a Call of Duty MMO, that would be badass.

My thoughts on “Google Play”

Around a week ago Google decide to rename Google Market to Google Play as well as other services such as Google Music to Google Play Music. I think it is one of the most ridiculous name changes I have seen especially in the longest time. It does not make much sense to me, other than the complete obvious.

What was wrong with “Market”? It is the most simplest name for anyone non-tech-savvy to completely understand where to get applications, games, music and much more from.

Then you also have the new icon for it; shown above, which I think is one of the most ugliest and hideous icons Google has ever given us too. I know this is my own opinion but I am sure there is at least a large group of other people out there that will agree with me on that too.

Movies I want to watch in 2012

Here is a quick list of the movies for this year that I am definitely looking forward to seeing.

Easy list to browse through:

  • American Reunion
  • The Expendables 2
  • 21 Jump Street
  • Battleship
  • Chronicle
  • Safe House
  • The Avengers
  • This Means War
  • The Lucky One
  • The Vow
  • Lock-out (aka MS One: Maximum Security)
  • Goon
  • The Dictator

Otherwise, I would highly recommend clicking read more and reading my comments towards each individual movie, why I want to see each one and their trailers. I will also likely be updating this list as more movie trailers get released such as the remake of Total Recall later this year.

Update:

  • The Bourne Legacy
  • The Hunger Games
  • Neighborhood Watch
  • Safe

Trion shutting down some Rift shards, bad times?

Trion is currently shutting down shards, or in their words, turning them into Trial Shards. Are these bad times for Rift?

I have been playing the game since March last year (2011), just a few weeks after it came out. It is my first MMORPG to play and I actually quite enjoy it most of the time. My personal problem with the game is the lack of Rogue developers and willingness for Trion developers to listen at all it seems. Then there is the lack of PVP. But that all of this is a different story for an entirely different topic and also not a “QQ.”

I do wonder how many active subscribers Trion currently has though now for Rift.

I have played on a total of 4 shards, the longest being Faemist from March 2011 till November 2011. I then transferred to Freeholme (with Guild) because Faemist started to die in September/October. Then in December Freeholme died as well as the guild I was in, because of SWTOR which not a lot of people seem to like. I have it and I never play it, do not have the time to but also do not enjoy it too much as I did Rift.

I ended up transferring to Deepstrike this month, January, to a more active shard. I would have had to have transferred anyways because Freeholme is shutting down now, as in the list below. The 4th shard that I have played on only for a week and a day is Wolfsbane, the most active PVE shard (and overall shard).

Here is the list of shards shutting down, and that are turning into Trial Shards and where they are being recommended (not forced) to transfer to:

PVP Shards

  • Sunrest (PVP-RP) is being suggested to transfer to Deepstrike.
  • Freeholme is being suggested to transfer to Deepstrike.
  • Dayblind is being suggested to transfer to Deepstrike.
  • Faemist is being suggested to transfer to Briarcliff.

PVE Shards

  • Belmont is being suggested to transfer to Millrush.
  • Galena is being suggested to transfer to Millrush.
  • Galena is being suggested to transfer to Millrush.
  • Atrophinius is being suggested to transfer to Greenscale.
  • Crucia is being suggested to transfer to Greenscale.
  • Alsbeth is being suggested to transfer to Shatterbone.

PVE-RP Shards

  • Estrael is being suggested to transfer to Faeblight.
  • Shadefallen is being suggested to transfer to Faeblight.

A total of 12 shards are shutting down of the 35 that Rift has including the 8 Europe shards. These shards are being converted on January 18th, 2012. I personally think that Trion should have never had a total of 32 shards to begin with. I could definitely see they needed it when the game came out, as I remember watching a few people stream the game on streaming sites and they would be waiting in queue to join their shard.

Another sign that could show the game dying slowly is that they just put up a new deal this week:

For a limited time, get an extra month of RIFT game time when you upgrade to a multi-month subscription plan.

They really seem to be begging for subscribers to come back that they will even give you an extra month.
