Want Free YouTube Vids?

This is straying a little from my usual reviewing process, but here we go. I recently went exploring on the vast cesspool of videos that is YouTube, looking for various hacks, tips, and tricks for the computer. I came across a video telling me how to download videos from YouTube. On YouTube. I find this hilarious. But, it works. Here are the links:

The first one is the downloader itself, the second is a video converter. The downloader downloads it as an FLV file, so you need the converter. Happy downloading! I hope I don't get shut down for this...

Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction

Hey, anybody who cares anymore... Anyway, I played Mercs. and it was pretty good. It felt like a GTA rip-off, though. They did have some different things, such as airlifts. You could call an airlift for anything from weapons to vehicles to air strikes. Other than that, though, it's a little samey to GTA. Still, it's worth the play.

Spanking Shakespeare, by Jake Wizner

Spanking Shakespeare is a great book for teens. It's about a high-school senior, Shakespeare Shapiro, whose ultimate goal by the end of the year is to get laid. The problem is, he's never even had a girlfriend, and is widely ignored. He does have a good-looking friend named Celeste Keller, but she's taken... But her boyfriend is away at college. There's also the mysterious Charlotte White... Shakespeare is actually a great writer, despite his hatred of his name. He makes a list of possible virginity-takers, and starts on "the hunt." Will Shakespeare get laid, or will he go off to college a virgin, if he goes to college? I heartily recommend this book.

Guitar Hero: World Tour

I love this game. This game has it all: challenging guitar, fun bass lines, decent drums, and singing... The singing is a little touchy and the drum's bass pedal isn't the greatest, but I know it's not gonna snap. The song also has 84 songs on-disc. It's a great addition to any music lover's game collection.

Harold and Kumar

These movies are not for the faint of heart... Honestly, my mind is a little perverted at times. That's why I loved these movies! They're about two guys, Harold and Kumar, and their adventures on their way to White Castle and Amsterdam (H&K Go to White Castle, H&K Escape from Guantanamo Bay, respectively). It's a stoner flick, and if your sense of humor is like mine, you'll love 'em.

Rock Band

Hey, everybody. I, for some dumb reason, never mentioned Rock Band. It's fantastic! I just got the Track Pack as well. It has some downloadable songs that PS3 and XBox 360 could download, but the PS2 and Wii could not. Rock Band itself has about 80 or so songs and is generally challenging. I only just recently beat all of the guitar songs, and I've beaten every Guitar Hero game except for GHIII:LoR.

More to come!

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith

Wow, it's been a long time... Guitar Hero: Aerosmith was awesome, to me... The game itself was a little too easy, though... It had 6 tiers, I believe, with 2 covers and 3 Aerosmith songs. It got a little old, due to the lack of the difficulty the previous games had...
