According to Shmoes Knows, Paramount Studios is in talks to get Casino Royale director, Martin Campbell to direct the upcoming third installment of the GI Joe Franchise. Is this a good thing for GI Joe Fans? Didn’t Campbell also direct Green Lantern?

From the desk of georox:
“So, on Saturday, August 18th 2013, my entire life was changed. I watched The FP. My mind was blown by how amazing this movie is, and it inspired me. It inspired me so much I decided to make a quick card game out of it! Currently I have a set of the cards being printed up and sent to me to use as a trial/demo game. If it plays alright and people enjoy it/like the style, I’m going to expand it out to a 100-200 card game, with more variety to how it plays, bringing it on-par to boxed games people buy. My intentions are to post all of the files for free online for now, and hopefully get the people who made the film to see it, and hopefully they enjoy it! Maybe they’ll print a set out and play it too. For me, this is my dedication to The FP.
The main stats:
Beat – Sound icon
Style – Hexagon icon
Cred – Crown icon
Ranks from high to low:
S
A
B
C
D
E
F
Each player keeps a hand of 5 characters. An arena is drawn, each player places one character from their hand face down, or in the case of a special Beat-Beat Revelation arena, multiple characters are placed face down. The team with the highest combined rank wins. Discard characters when the Beat-Beat Revelation match is finished, and draw up to 5 cards again from the character deck. When you win an arena, draw an item card, and place the Beat-Beat Revelation arena in front of you face-down.
Items give a bonus to the stat they have pictured, unless it is The Helmet. The Helmet allows you to instantly win that arena. You may use one item you have won per arena. Once an item is used, discard it in the item stack.
The Protomen character card always wins. In the case of two The Protomen, the player who can get their beat stat the highest wins, more than 1 item is allowed in the arena in this case. Playing The Helmet on The Protomen also breaks a tie. If both players use The Helmet, it is back to the beat stat for winner.
First to claim 7 BBR matches wins.
(Note – The Protomen cards are an inside joke amongst my friends and I from when we watched the movie. They are being removed from the final version and being replaced with things relevant to the movie.)
The character cards you need to print two of. There are two backs for them because of this. They are the backs with arrows. The FP back with the blue logo is for the Beat Beat Revelation Arena cards, and the artsy stylized back is for the item cards. Enjoy!

As you all know by now, the members at OG13 have a vast amount of interests outside of toys. We strongly encourage discussions of all types here, and showcase the “good-stuff” regardless on the genre. With that said, music provides an ongoing soundtrack to our lives, whether we are driving, working out, watching movies, or opening Joes. What is it that currently inspires you musically? One man shares his answer…
A review set to the tune of PitViper and his white-noise filters:
Some of you know this, some of you dont, I don’t listen to just metal. Actually I f’ng love a lot of music from the 70’s. The tones and overall feel of many of the songs from early Elton John to disco and funk just has a feel to it to me that you can sink your teeth into, it’s a very tangible thing. The last few years I find myself listening to soundtracks in the same way I cue up an old Iron Maiden album. I just dig big orchestrated sounds that take you back to a scene or a feeling you had when you watched that scene..make any sense?
Ok so fuck all of that. I spent the last 2 days with R.A.M pumping into my headphones. I had purchased the radio edit of Get Lucky when it came out and that was all I knew about this record. Pharrell was doing guest vocals (and sounding like Off The Wall era Michael Jackson) Nile Rodgers was playing guitar and it was produced by Giorgio Moroder. For those that don’t know Nile Rodgers was the guitarist of Chic..as in “Freak Out” and basically invented disco guitar and somewhat reinvented the pop guitar by playing a lot of weird chord inversions that…well they kind of sound like shit until they have music surrounding them. David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance”–that’s him, and that’s a chord inversion. Giorgio Morodor is the composer of the Scarface soundtrack, Never Ending Story, Midnight Run and a slew of other crap. He also modernized the synthesizer. Knowing all of this I figured “man now THAT is a friggin collaboration!”…and I was right. However, if you only downloaded the radio edit of Get Lucky, you have jipped yourself. It’s a shell of the original version.
This album to me does what all awesome albums and soundtracks do, it kind of takes you someplace. Brings you back to that “scene”. It’s not typical Daft Punk, it’s very very musical with live instrumentation blended with synth, vocoder, deep lyrics and it’s own feel. While most of it is very upbeat and just in time for Summer there are some really deep tracks that actually are a bit too “heavy” for my mood of late.
So now, I’ll give you the rundown track by track.
1. Give Life Back To Music: Awesome track, BIG sound. I can’t stress “big”. If the Rocky theme and P-Funk had a kid, this might be what came out. Great live, upbeat sound with very pronounced instruments. It’s a great way to start the album.
