Report: Final Fantasy XI last boss is causing gamers to get sick and pass out…

In the new “Final Fantasy XI” online role playing video game, you can also play the single player main storyline game. Sources in the video game world are saying people are getting sick and passing out from playing the final boss at the end of “Final Fantasy XI”. The main boss is a character named the Pandemomium Warden which takes 18 hours straight to beat the last boss of the game. Gamers are calling this main boss fight the most physical, challenging, and the longest boss fight in video game history.

Oh my, I’ve heard of Final Fantasy, I’ve never played one of those games in my life. But after hearing this, makes me want to buy Final Fantasy XI for the PS3. The Final Fantasy game franchise is extremely popular though, that’s why the sequels keep going.

Thought: Kane vs. Rey Mysterio feud, how I think it’s all gonna go down…

On last Monday’s RAW, Kane come out to the ring to explain why he is doing this to Rey Mysterio. During Kane’s speech out in the ring, Kane stated that he hated Rey Mysterio because he hides behind a mask, and he hates Rey and everyone who likes him. He asked, “Is he alive or dead”, and then he says, “Rey Mysterio is very much alive”, then he explains he almost beat him to death that forced Rey to remove his mask. Batista’s music hits and Dave Batista came down to try and beat up Kane since Batista is Rey Mysterio’s friend, that segment ended with Kane beating up Batista so Kane can show that he means it that he hates everyone who likes Rey Mysterio.

My guess that Rey Mysterio will make his return at the next WWE PPV “Unforgiven”, until then more of Rey Mysterio’s superstar friends will try to challenge matches against Kane each week on RAW, with Kane winning every one until he faces Rey Mysterio at “Unforgiven” it’ll be Kane vs. Rey Mysterio at the next ppv.

Will Rey Mysterio return unmasked? I’m sure Rey Mysterio will try to return to still hide his face, like maybe get another mask or use a towel over his head to cover his face or something. Kane won’t give up until Rey stops hiding his face. The reason I think Kane is doing this because of Kane’s past of being a masked wrestler and Kane wants Rey to be more confident of not hiding himself. That’s what this storyline is all about.

This storyline feud with Kane vs. Rey Mysterio is getting interesting. I think it’s the best storyline that the writers has given Kane so far. They keep giving Kane silly and stupid storylines but they finally give him a good one.

A Kane vs. Rey Mysterio match on a ppv would be interesting, a small guy fighting a huge tall guy. Rey Mysterio did wrestle against giant guys before back in his ECW/WCW days, I don’t think he did in WWE yet. And Rey Mysterio did wrestle unmasked before back in his ECW/WCW days, but never in WWE. I think Rey is finally going for it, becoming an unmasked wrestler full time.

But who knows, I’ll probably hear the song riding in the car later in the week in San Diego when I’m out doing fun stuff.

I’m sure I’ll probably wind up hearing it at some point soon.

Report: Vin Diesel to direct “Fast and the Furious” prequel…

While Vin Diesel is known as a hollywood actor, I’m sure many of you didn’t know that the man did direct his own films in the past, so he does have directing experience. Vin Diesel announced he is directing a short 20 minute prequel to “Fast and the Furious”. Diesel will star in it of course, along with Michelle Rodriguez as Letty and Sun Kang as Han. Diesel says the prequel will tie in between the second and third movies. Vin Diesel is not sure how he will release this prequel when he’s finished with it, but it’s possible he could release it straight to DVD, the internet, or direct to TV.

Report: They’re heeeeerrrreeeeeeee…writers found for “Poltergeist” remake…

MGM is planning a remake for the 1982 horror film “Poltergeist” which was directed by Tobe Hooper and written by Steven Spielberg. The original film starred TV “Coach” sitcom star Craig T. Nelson and starred Heather O’ Rourke as the little Carol Anne. Heather O’ Rourke played the Carol Anne character in the first three Poltergeist films, then she died in 1988 at the age of 12 due to a flu.

MGM has hired Stiles White and Juliet Snowden to write screenplay for the remake, they were the same writers who wrote the film “Boogeyman”. MGM is still trying to find a director for this flick.

Hopefully they find the right actress for Carol Anne. I have mixed feelings on this one too, they’re probably gonna make this one full of CGI effects.

Report: Beijing Olympics ratings still going strong even with no Michael Phelps…

The Golden boy Michael Phelps maybe done with swimming in the races this year but the TV ratings for the Olympics is still going strong which is causing other major TV shows ratings to go down. The world is so glued to the Olympics that people rather watch this than movies in the theater or other TV shows.
