The Top 5 PS4/Xbox One Games Coming Soon

The new video games systems are here and there happens to be no games to play, yet. That changes a little bit with Infamous: Second Son dropping for the Playstation 4 and Titanfall for the Xbox One in March. So below are ten games that should hold your imagination until they come out. This list is in order of importantance and how much potential they hold to sell systems. All of these titles are 100 percent confirmed. 

1.Halo 5, the console war will forever be won by exclusives. People who prefer personal computer gaming never have understood why people love consoles. Personal computers offer advance graphics, larger multiplayer numbers, and more varied artificial intelligence. With all that still personal computers don't have blockbuster exclusives. That may change with the Valve's Steambox. Until it does I am going to with consoles. That long introduction was to point Halo 5 is looming on the horizon. The Master Chief came back in Halo 4 like he was always King. Now with the power of the Xbox One watch him go to work while you Skype with your brother in law. Halo 5 will look stellar and make a leap to the next generation. Halo was one of the few games to squeeze everything out the Xbox. I am sure 343 Studios will produce a gem. Giving those who have followed Halo since it was unvealed as Macintosh exclusive back in 2000 and the Master Chief was riding Dinosaurs in the technological demonstration. Halo has always made many promises, I have a strong feeling that they will deliver this time in spades. With a television series about Halo with Steven Spielberg at the helm, the potential for it to be a system seller can't be denied.

2. Uncharted 4: Drake's Deception
Nathan Drake starred in 3 games the Playstation 3. The Uncharted series have always been a real strong presentation of what games strive to be in the terms of generation. The Uncharted series is like what an Indiana Jones games should have played like. The games's hollywood movie visuals along with its precise gunplay on par with Gears of War. Now it is coming to Playstation 4 I expect this game to be draw dropping. 


3. Destiny, The inventors of Halo have gone multiplatform. Meaning this will be available for everyone that means Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Playstation Vita,Personal Computer, Xbox 360 and the Xbox One. Man that is alot of platforms. Bungie is finally giving everybody a taste of what the Xboxers have known for a while, their games just play special. Their new multiplatform game will have player team up for quests, fight against each, while events are happening while the game world will change around you. The story in this game is about an alien who visits earth and ushers in a new age of humanity getting a lot done and even got the human race out into the stars. That was until some other big bad aliens came and destroyed most of Earth. Now the last Human city is protected by the last of the good alien's power. The graphics will be eye popping expect this tomove a few consoles. 


4. The Order 1886, you need games like this, no one cares if the game play isn't revolutionary. The game lost like a computer generated movie. The Order 1886 is about fighting monster while trying to stop the "undercalss" from rebeling and stealing their technology. This game is set in an alternative past but illuminati conspiracy theorists should love this one.

5. Metal Gear 5: The Phantom Pain
The Metal Gear series is very convoluted so rather than talk about it. I say you youtube it and then get back to me. All you need to that its an open world game with more parables than you can shake a stick at!

This Generation of teenagers are hilarious


If you ever heard, "do it for the vine". Then you know what you are going to see next. Your going to see some teens breaking out their flyest dance moves in a matter of seconds all for the social media sharing site Vine. I have messed with teenagers for years because in my eyes they were not inventive enough in their tomfoolery. However thanks to Vine, Worldstarhiphop, Facebook, and Instagram, teens can really cut loose pranking each other and making the stuff that was on the television show "Jackass" look pretty tame. I remember when social media caught fire some 10 years ago people warned that their would be dire ramifications for showing out on social media. I don't think that is true in fact I see it can be used to evaluate creativity and teamwork as some of the  stuff they do is very creative. I am even tempted to pull of something elaborate then I remember I am not 16 and my time for that has passed, tomfoolery is a young person's game. So to the teens out there keep it up and keep it original. -thegqlife

Keep your head up Ukraine

I can't begin to access what is the cause of the turmoil in the Ukraine. However the lost of human life is always hard to deal with no matter what circumstances. Keep your head up Ukraine, I was immensely humbled when I discovered earlier this month that I had readers in the Ukraine. I hope this state of unbalance in your country is solved quickly, with a resolution that will be beneficial for all who live there.-thegqlife

The Hottest Rap Track this second!


The Notorious B.I.G made the classic track "Your nobody until somebody kills you". Rick Ross, Diddy, and French Montona remakes it for Rick Ross new album, "Mastermind". In the beginning Diddy is yelling, "you dont want to embrace your destiny, you want to just get by". A nice message for those who don't feel they measure up to the vision they have for themselves or those that fostered them in some ways. Rick Ross hautingly comes close to not sounding like Biggie but invoking his spirit like a voodoo priest. This is now the hottest hip hop track this second. Ross spits, "having sushi down in noble, strapped like an Afghan soldier" there are many more quotable lines I just suggest you listen to it a few times. Ross did it on this one and I appreciate the cinematic approach. There is a visual vide that can be seen on youtube or worldstarhiphop. Watch it with the speakers turn all the way up and tell you don't smell and see March 1997. Mastermind is in stores and available digitally March 4th, 17 years after the release of the posthomous album, "Life After Death". Very nice way to pay homage because it's been a minute since a great track has payed proper homage to the legend.-thegqlife

The 5 Hottest Songs in Hip Hop this second

It's 12:43pm, I am a hip hop head, my taste in the genre are varied but after bumping official releases from J. Cole, Drake, and Jay Z. Rap has hit a lull of major releases. However we are in the period of where rap music artists are out to create buzz for a album/mixtape or a potential summer banger. With that notion below are my top ten hottest rap music this second!

1. Looking @ss ####s- Nicki Minaj, Nicki has been chilling a verse here and there but none like the one on this single where she has put the industry on notice about her bars.

2. God Body- Coke Boys 4, (French Montana & Chinx Drugz), sometimes a track comes along that explains every way in which hunger and desire for the passion that street life and the quest for the balance of the reasons for moving they way we do comes out. God Body is that track it's like it was made for Miami Memorial Day Weekend.

3. Show me Love-Troy Avenue featuring Tony Yayo, Troy Ave is almost in the mainstream's face but this track serves as notice that it won't be that long.

4. Cuffing Season-Fabolous, yes I know the Soul Tape has been out for a second. However this trap was a theme song of mine for Valentines Day. 

5. We Dem Boyz-Wiz Khalifa, Wiz is back with a bouncy club track and I am feeling it!

Those are my tracks that I bumps even as I write this get up on them!-thegqlife 

Detroit Rap Music finally touching the global conscious

In the late 90s the female Cha Cha had features from Nas, Junvinile, Memphis Bleek, surely Detroit would get its due in the hip hop world. Nope not a peep. I know we were sent Eminem and D12 luckily. Don't get me wrong that was live! However when you look a the thousands of rappers that have enjoyed the limelight from Atlanta, New Orleans, and California. Detroit hasn't had many as I thought they should. I mean the city has all the makings of a hip hop mecca. That has finally changed. First we got Big Sean, then Danny Brown, and then we got Dope Boyz Cashout.  These artists have the essence of Detroit down pat and display it for the world to see. So get ready for the rise of Detroit Rap Music because it is here! What up doe! -thegqlife

Stuff is about to get real comic book like

It was recently unveiled that the United States Military has completed an "Iron Man" suit to equip it's soldiers as early as June if reports are accurate. This is only the beginning as now the wave of science fiction that has griped the Earth's populace in the form of comic books, television, movies, and countless other forms of produced media are going to be reality.

The race for military supremacy superiority often leads to technological innovations such as when the technology boomed after the Atom Bomb. The first salvo is a suit I have pictured above that will give the user super human ablities.
We are in the future so be prepared for when stuff gets really like a comic book.-thegqlife

So yes I was right about the Dunk Contest


My predictions in my previous post was wrong about the other NBA All Star challenges. However I wasn't wrong about the Dunk Contest. As usual the crowd made it look more boring than it was and the celebrities were trying to look uber cool and some of the participates looked uninvolved. John Wall didn't look like that. 

He came, he dunked, and he "dougied" his way to victory.

Like I said, he has been eyeing the event for years and showed out accordingly. I can still dunk to this day and I appreciate some good dunks the most. It's the reason I picked up a basketball. Next up will Lebron James win MVP of the actual All Star game? -thegqlife 

2014 NBA All Star Weekend Predictions

All Star weekend has started in New Orleans, yesterday things kicked of with the celebrity game.Secretary of Education Arnie Duncan won the most valuable player award. Which was followed by the Rising Stars Challenge basically a rookie and sophomore all star game. Andre Drummond of the Detroit Pistons won the MVP of that game. Now on to my picks for the rest of the weekend's events.

Skills Challenge:
Pick: Reggie Jackson, Jackson has been great while Russell Westbrook is out so I am picking him to win a competition where the fundamentals count.

3 Point Shoot Contest:
Pick: Stephen Curry, those that know me know I typically don't like basketball players that won't dunk on opposing players. However Mr. Curry is most watch television due to his range on his jump shot. Not since Larry Bird have I seen a player who lights it up from deep the way he has lighten it up in the league.

Slam Dunk Contest
Pick: John Wall, this is the only pick that was really hard for me. It's hard because back in the 1980s players could go get hammered and still jump from the free throw line and slam the ball home. Now with 1 million social media followers and tremendous financial wealth players either play around and don't take the contest seriously or they act like they don't care if they look bad. Not saying that would happen this year but I don't know who will hang out get all kinds of fried and not perform in the dunk contest. Could be anyone, I am picking John Wall because I know he has been eyeing the contest since he came in the NBA he just wasn't healthy enough to be in it.

2014 All Star Game MVP
Pick: Lebron James, you would have to think at this point All Star MVP trophies wouldn't matter for Lebron. Not true look for him to make a statement and bring the East All Star back if they are behind.

Cuffing Season at it's peak on Valentine's Day

Cuffing Season's official holiday is today also know as Valentines day. As usual it is a day where we reflect on something. What that is depends on the person. I focus on how I find it funny when are dudes quoting "Love Jones" on social media in the days leading up to Vday or how people are genuinely acting like we're are all in the 9th grade. No knock to 9th graders as they seem to get the best out of this day. We all act like that to some degree however more sophomoric. Which brings me to my next notion. Cuffing season ends for many when it gets warm out. As the rapper Fabolous says on his song Cuffing Season, "Now it's getting chilly that's the fall coming!" 

Shout out to Fab for that song and for Troy Avenue spitting a freestyle over it. 

Take this day to realize what you want around no matter the weather outside or the holiday. -thegqlife

Playstation Vita and Borderlands 2


I've had a Playstation Vita for about 2 years now. I was promised on the go gaming with Playstation 3 visuals. Finally we got it, I mean there has been many games such as: Uncharted Golden Abyss, Killzone: Mercenary, and Injustice: Gods Among Us. Those game were crisp and graphically impressive however those games weren't  "see look this is why I have this thing" games. That all changes when Borderlands 2 comes to Playstation Vita with a month or so. Now this is what we have been waiting for. I never even played either of the Borderlands games, now I can play it anywhere on my Vita. That is beyond dope. The Vita is a great system it does things that no other portable device can do, it has a stunning screen for video and it has so many games. You can download almost any Playstation 1 game. It can play your Playstation 4 games on it's screen and it has Skype and Facebook integration. That is why I am excited for Borderlands 2 because it will also come with 6 pieces of downloadable content and it have 4 player co-operative play as well. The Vita will finally get some shine that it really deserves thanks to Borderlands 2. -thegqlife

Artie Lange Crash and Burn Review

I am in my laundry room and I see this book. It was an autobiography of comedian Artie Lange. I do stand up comedy and I am always interested in how comedians get famous, rich, and how they handle it all. I started reading his book, "Crash and Burn" and didn't stop until I was done. It was a magical ride that had frequent stops detailing his battle with drug abuse. It is a great read because it can help anyone. The way Mr.  Lange talks about his life with such vivid detail will be great to read for just about anybody that has every had a bad day. -thegqlife

NFL Mock Draft 2014 Version 1.0

Oh yes for folks like me also known as Detroit Lions Fans, Houston Texans Fans, and Jacksonville Fans these coming months are the most exciting. Not the Superbowl or playoffs, but the months leading up to the annual NFL draft. The teams I mentioned always get high draft picks, however unlike basketball a high draft pick doesn't guarantee success right away. It takes years sometimes or in Detroit's case decades to get the right mix of players. So let's start mocking my draft.
1. Houston Texans
Pick: Johnny Manziel, this pick might not get made any other year, but since Russell Wilson has a Superbowl ring and that notion of shorter quarterbacks can't get the job done has been debunked sort of, the Texans take Manziel here. He is a little Brett Favre, a little Mike Vick, with a whole lot of "you only live once" at anytime when he is playing out there in a broken play and making the impossible seem possible. all wrapped up in one. I had my nephews watch a game of his, they paid attention the whole time. Not saying they can't pay attention but Johnny Football genuinely entertained them.

2. St. Louis Rams
Pick: Jake Matthews, is Sam Bradford really bad, I just think he needs more help he gets it with the big hauss from Texas A&M.

3. Jacksonville Jaguars
Pick: Jadeveon Clowney, he the chance to be J.J Watt good, or he could be a under achieving player for most of his career. Which could lead Jacksonville taking the prize they cover the most a quarterback by the name of Jameis Winston in 2015. Oh you think Jameis Winston is coming back for all of his years of eligibility? Yes okay believe that and there some Florida land I want to sell you.

4.  Cleveland Browns
Pick: Teddy Bridgewater, yes the browns need something, anything between them and the Lions I don't know who is worst. Cleveland how ever hasn't had a great quarterback since I have been alive. Take Bridgewater and hope he can handle the title of savior while actually having someone to throw to since Cleveland's receiver corps are actually good.

5. Oakland Raiders
Pick: Mike Evans, I think he has a chance to be Megatron good. He is big and athletic while he does not look super fast on the field. I think he will run a 4.34 in the forty yard dash. That will make him Oakland's pick.

6. Atlanta Falcons
Pick: Anthony Barr, I know they need help some of everywhere but I think this is your guy. A linebacker is where this team can start.

6. Tampa Bay
Pick: Sammy Watkins, I feel like Aresenio Hall in Coming to America, saying Watkins don't ask why because I don't quite remember the correlation. I do know Watkins is fast and can be this year's Tavon Austin. Mike Glennon may make some noise down there.

7. Minnesota Vikings
Pick: Tahj Boyd, he did everything for a quarterback could do. I believe he provides long term upside. Plus I just wanted to type the words long term upside.

8. Buffalo Bills
Pick: Justin Gilbert, The Bills have a quarterback of the future, some decent receivers, and the defense isn't to shabby. However they could use what every team in the NFL could use. A shutdown corner. Gilbert could be Patrick Peterson like so I have him slotted here.

10. Detroit Lions
Pick: Marqise Lee, the blazer from University of Southern California just has to be able to run a good route here and there. Also he will get separation in coverage with would finally bring that saftey that sits at the goal line to close in on Calvin withouth paying much attention to the Lions other recievers. With Calvin Johnson getting doubled-teamed all day should this would also make Matthew Stafford's job easier. Lee your new nickname is Starscream. 

11. Tennessee Titans
Pick: Khalil Mack, the motor in this small school guy is a Ferrari hybrid. This would be the best defensive prospect the Titans have had since Javon Kearse

12. New York Giants
Pick: Eric Ebron, the tight end from University of North Carolina, Eli needs a receiver and some blocking up front do him a favor a get both in Ebron.


13. St. Louis
Pick: Kelvin Benjamin, Sam Bradford needs another weapon get another big target to go alongside of Tavon Austin.  

14. Chicago Bears
Pick: Ryan Shazier, this defense needs a Midwestern linebacker that like can do an A. J. Hawk impression, which is really just a good Brian Urlacher impression.


THAT FACE MASK THOUGH..

15. Pittsburgh Steelers
Pick: Louis Nix, the Steelers need to put pressure on the quarterback, if the NFL lets him keep his face mask that would be enough pressure right there.

16. Baltimore Ravens
Pick:  Brandin Cooks, my man is an upgrade and comes with great breakway speed Joe Flacco could use a another force to line up with Torrey Smith.

17, Dallas Cowboys 
Pick: Devin Gardner, Whether or not he plays quarterback or becomes the second receiver opposite Dez Bryant depends entirely on Tony Romo.

18. New York Jet
Pick: Jace Amaro, someone Geno throw the rock and get some pass blocking.

19. Miami Dolphins:
Pick: Taylor Lewan, they need protection just like almost everyone else.

20. Arizona Cardinals
Pick: Darqueze Dennard, let’s make this defensive back core only rivaled by the vaunted Seattle Seahawks team led by the dogmatic Richard Sherman and crew.

21.Green Bay Packers
Pick: Ha Ha Clinton Dix, the second Alabama player taken for the second year in the row. Adds much needed defense.

22. Philadelphia Eagles
Pick: D'Anthony Thomas, Chip Kelly lines him up all over the field like a secret weapon. Think Reggie Bush at USC and you get what will happen here.

23. Kansas City Chiefs
Pick:  Derek Carr, Andy Reid takes the best prospect available and has a change in direction in case his starter falters.

24, Cincinnati Bengals
Pick: Jordan Matthews, another receiver from Vanderbilt would help out A.J. Green.

25. San Diego Chargers
Pick: Brian Roby, they need corner help this Ohio State Buckeye is the best available.

26. Cleveland Browns
Pick: Josh Huff, the new quarterback needs receiver that is dangerous after the catch and will help the rookie mask weaknesses. Huff is a receiver that could provide that.  

27. New Orleans
Pick: Calvin Pryor, the safety can be moved in to play weak side linebacker, as will be it long time since an impact defensive player was added to the linebacker corps and the secondary in New Orleans.

28, Carolina Panthers
Pick: Kony Ealy, Cam looked like he had fun during the Super bowl festivities…etc. Get a shutdown corner to put the kibosh on your division’s rivals aerial attacks. Besides their push rush has been in Chicago for the last few seasons.

29. New England Patriots
Pick: Michael Sam, the second bookend of the terrorizing Missouri Defense the defensive end could be just what the Belichick era needs to get people to stop scoring on them. This is a copycat league; only a few offenses need to add pieces. What does it matter if you can’t stop people from outscoring because your defense is porous?

30. San Francisco:
Pick: Ra’Shede Hageman, everybody says that Colin Kapernick needs better receivers. Colin went out and had a ball during Super bowl. He knows the problem isn’t the offense suffice to say, he seemed sure as #### it wasn’t his side of the ball. They need to pressure Russell Wilson, that’s were defensive tackle with Ndamukong Suh potential comes in.

Pick:
31.  Denver Broncos:
Pick: Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, Peyton Manning looked like he had fun after the super bowl. Suffice it to say the defense needs help. Grab a shutdown corner to let Peyton Manning go out on top.

32. Seattle Seahawks
Pick: Cyrus Kouandijo, slide him in on your line to give Russell all day to throw
What could you add to this team that it doesn’t have how about more protection. The rest of the league will bring more pressure this will counteract that.

Vday cometh

Oh #### VDay cometh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
     

I could not help but hear agreements break out throughout the weekend in my building and in my neighborhood. Couples were bickering all over the place. I blame VDay, it has a tendency to either make you glad that you got your boo or pissed at your current partner. I say again for the second blog post chill out. -thegqlife

The Best Videogame you never played



I am a "gamer", yes in case you were guessing I do have my air quotes up. I dig videogames like my kindergarten crush. Suffice to say I've played a lot of them. Since the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 are last generation, the games that are  for those systems are super cheap now. I am talking ten bucks cheap. With that information I began looking to see what game would be fun to play that I haven't played yet. That lead me to Fallout 3: New Vegas, this game is stellar. It a first player action role playing game where you are a courier that is shot in the head and left for dead. What makes this game so special is the choices you make will have ramifications lasting for the entire game. You can kill anyone you want, work for anyone you want. Basically you can do whatever you want. However just like the game of life we are currently playing with our one player there'll be consequences. Work with a faction to take over a town and watch the residents bow down. Kill everyone from a faction then watch as they send an assassination squad to hunt you down. It's really an amazing game. I am willing to Floyd Mayweather bet that you never played it. I got it from GameStop for a whopping seven dollars. I would always looked at kids coming in the Video game store and buying GameCube games like a true elitist. They would have like four dollars and leave with four games. Since I'm not ready to switch to the PS4 quite yet this is all so new and fun to get games this cheap. Especially a game like Fallout 3: New Vegas where you can roam a dystopian landscape where anything can happen. -thegqlife

1990s African American televison versus 2014 African American television


It is Black history month and since I love all things entertainment related I wanted think back when every major network had at least one sitcom with one lead character that was African American. Let's see how many here were:

1. In Living Color
2. Martin
3. The Cosby Show
4. The Steve Harvey
5. Sister Sister
6. The Jamie Fox Show
7. Family Matters
8. Hanging with Mr. Cooper
9. Moesha
10. The Wayans Brothers
11. A Different World
12. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
13. Living Single

Okay let's fly to 2014
1. Tyler Perry's House of Payne
2. Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns
3. Are We there Yet
4. Love that Girl

Where did all the African American sitcoms go? I mean I am not one to say this or that means you should have a sitcom but if I began the list of non African Americans I would still be typing. So what happen? Will for one it seems as though Reality Television is the fix that people seek when waiting to see hilarious situations involving African Americans. I know people who love Real House Wives of Atlanta and both of the Love and Hip Hop series. These shows are basically improv shows in the vine of the aforementioned In Living Color. The difference is that people tend to take these show seriously. While I know that those shows aren't real most people don't or don't care. I miss the 1990s because it was an abundance of characters that made you laugh out loud. It was awesome and with only four sitcoms choices now it makes me harken for the 90s.

Heavy Snow Fall this year reveals America's new fuzzy softness

The year was 1988, I was headed to school in January. Having dodged my Mother putting a gallon of Vaseline on my face I was on my way to school. It was like 5 inches of snow out there. I was happy because this meant a super snowball fight at recess and all my friends would also participate in wrestling in the snow. 


Zoom all the way to the year 2014 and
America is now scared of snow, wind chill, and polar vortexes! I don't know if everybody just likes to be soft as silk sheets or everybody loves being afraid but the slightest sight of snow. This leads everyone to act so weirdly scared. I remember I got a few snow days now kids get its "too cold" days too? What the   hay! What happened to bundling up and wearing your pajamas or thermals under everything. I could see if every school or business went along with this foolish snow scared tactic, but they don't. The best private schools haven't been canceling school. McDonald's hasn't closed what I am saying is that don't be soft because of the snow and cold, because your Great Grandmother really did have to walk 10 miles in a snowstorm to get to school. I even walked 1 mile to get to school in quite a few snowstorms. Stop being so soft America. -thegqlife

Hollywood Casting Mock Draft 1.0

It will be summer soon, I know it doesn't feel like it right now. Soon it will be hot and will people will be out a lot more. They will definitely go to the movies. Due to the current state of technology available to movie studios. Any vision of anything can be produced. Want to see Batman sneak punch Superman, you can get that on the screen. Like to see how 50 Shades of Grey would look in person, you get that too. Heck you want to know what Unicron for the Transformers would look like punching the moon, I think you get my point. With all of our favorite creative works getting big or small screen treatment, (Walking Dead I see you boy!). I thought it was time to do a draft of sorts for Hollywood using movies that will get made in the next five years given Hollywood's new willingness to reach outside of the box. I am doing this just like a mock draft so I will be taking the best talent available to get the most bang for the dollar for whatever project is picking first. Since all of them want to make at least one hundred million dollars for their opening weekend I am going with best talent, situation, and movie to figure out who picks where. Okay let's begin.



1. Cleopatra
Pick: Beyonce' Knowles as Cleopatra, when Cleopatra the movie was finished in 1963 it was at a cost of 44 million dollars. I am sure Beyonce' made that this year, who else do you think could play this part? I am waiting because you have no one that is a real life Queen like her. It goes without saying but I will say it anyway, "bow down".

2.  Batman versus Superman
Pick: Denzel Washington as Jon Stewart the second Green Lantern from Earth, this pick would cement Ben Affleck's and Henry Cavil's movie. A Denzel Washington as ex-marine fresh from Iraq as a second Green Lantern would give this film a boost that would have people standing in line starting now.

3. X-Men Apocalypse
Pick: Dwayne Johnson as Apocalypse who else fits the description of an Egyptian that is 8 feet tall with and a God Complex how about the dude who played Scorpion King, this will give the "Rock" a chance to cook or screen and have some creative fun.

4. Justice League Movie
Pick: Ian Joseph Somerhalder as Damian Wayne, oh I get it Justice League is really inside of the Batman vs. Superman movie. Get over that, just know that if D.C. Comics wants to really compete they will have to pull off moves like this, where they set up the future by adding unexpected characters. No more unexpected than the son of Batman. Besides I think Somerhalder plays a pretty good brooding Damien already of Vampire Diaries.

5. Justice Society of America
Pick: Kevin Hart as Mister Terrific, this would be a real treat to watch, it would remind me of when Robert Downey Jr. got the chance to play Iron Man, a role that is tailored made for a man to battle his demons while having his technology fill in for a date or two. Kevin Hart would excel in this role I am sure due to Mr. Terrific being a superhero that is invisible to all electronics.

6. Independence Day 2
Pick: Will Smith as Captain Steven Hiller, you don't do this movie without Will Smith. You just don't, you will do your numbers, this is a movie that everybody who has ever seen a Will Smith movie really wants to see.

7. Entourage
Pick: Danny McBride as Danny McBride, I think after watching HBO's "East Bound" add him to Entourage and watch hilarity ensue.

8. Assassin's Creed Liberation
Pick: Rihanna as Aveline de Grandpré an French African twenty something that is a assassin for a mysterious order that has been around since the dawn of man and it's set during the slave era. This role was made for her, people may have never experienced this video game set in the Assassin's Creed universe, but this well surely get made at some point, why not have Rihanna on deck for this one.

9. Bay Watch
Pick: Kim Kardashian as C.J. Parker, they are remaking Bay Watch as a movie. Let's not pretend we don't know why everyone watched it for 4 years straight it was sexy. Let's just start with this buzz worthy home run.

10. James Bond 24
Pick: Christian Bale as the lead Bond villain, a nemesis to bond that is Bale is definitely sequel worthy.

So I was right about the Super Bowl


I was right about yesterday's Superbowl outcome. I said, "I will feel for the Denver Broncos receivers; they might get beat up by Sherman and his secondary." Wasn't far off at all really.-thegqlife

The Winner of the 2014 Super bowl is?




Super Bowl time and everyone is revved up like they need a gallon of Pizza and a barrel of Beer for themselves.This is the time of the year were we find ourselves in front of the wild advertisements and the players who will either win or loose. Peyton Manning looks like a 24 year old and Russell Wilson seems to have a lot of success so far. I want to see Richard Sherman go ham out there I know that for sure. I will feel for the Denver Broncos receivers; they might get beat up by Sherman and his secondary. Should be a good game I got Seattle based solely on the Madden 2014 commercial where a young Russell Wilson was shown training in a space aged throwing simulation machine. He was like 10 years old doing crazy #### like that so I am going with him.  I am picking the Seattle Seahawks to win the Super bowl. In case that was apparent by the picture at the beginning of this blog posting -Thegqlife
