For you see the Spiraldo thought paths as the case same note that thanks for him you helping gather should start over again trying to does not stop at just how you be We are invited to discovered his lost may we possessions although he find where he lost everything But follow Waldo but into become wanderers of the the goes at be- seems not to mind not having what does his message lack that so erything you have gained from world and much them spirit ginning And instead of finding many others in that position would

following Waldo like Waldo We dont our frail find of old man you rather have Anger disappointment and In of the need many scenes your position orpower in quest and youthful spirit who was born to frustration are nowhereto be found

other is to find some humor- life to seek goal him we must subse travel the earth in search of true in his message

ous image or play on words created just be of all its willing quently they appreciation wide variet This leads me to draw two

by the pictures These ingenious as he are oblivious ies of life Yet misplaces Might you not decide conclusions either of which sup- scenes depict the oflife in he does not about the that comedy objects simply quit true this Waldo person obviously ports the idea that Waldo and his

even more perfect scale Fromour or turn back or give has up something interesting about connection to the Spiraldo is stron high one often not the Waldo we vantage point No him Perhaps you are intrigued ger than we could imagine First attainable the have decid by average person by the fact that he seems to lack Waldo feels there is something

we see more complicated world ed to fol care about that possessions more to be gained by revisiting around our good friend Waldo as low is seem so essential to life these places again This might he travels You might find decide mean that when we come to place But unlike the general that he must have no weve already been there are still of life uniformity we come things that can be learned by to the rest of the expect everyone Even Waldo him- world to take around usthe self will travel back again reminds us Spiraldo thatev even if only to gather his

single eryone every human belongings yet he doesnt seem has their own moti unique to mind ifhe gets them back or vations ideas and free wills not for the journey is far more As look down into you any important Thats the sign of scene where Waldo has led greater mind one who sees be- we find countless us people yond material possessions their free will For exercising But there is view two in most there instance scenes which find bit more intriguing

are children doing something that Waldo Imagine quite purpose- are Perhaps they going places fully left those objects behind He shouldnt they be causing left them so that we would go

trouble or just being kids back and see more of the world The Waldo and ways and look deeper into the search his pictures are presented are than just the hunt for Waldo And

also to life To very insightful maybe he also left those objects find Waldo as the Spiraldo out to engage the minds and finds there are clues to you spirits ofthose he visited like his whereabouts that must described in the person who finds be followed like Waldo Waldo misplaced items and then Hansel and used Gretel learns of the Spiraldo through

system oflaying objects to sudden intervention Thus Waldo

retrace his Waldos steps and the Spiraldo used this to take

far system was more suc the minds that.have jUst learned

cessful in implementa ofthe Spiraldo and teach them to tion of such an idea but look deeper into the world This his true reason for lay- then allows them to gain more down his ing glasses insight into their own spirit

backpack adventuring and it also takes those who have and equipment canes never heard ofWaldo and brings

have been to might them along on the journey for assist others who seek the Spiraldo for the first time Spiraldo This second idea means

Let us first take that Waldo has made mate-

moment to consider rial sacrifice on his part to join

these and what objects im more people with the Spiraldo have pact they might on follower needfor thus broadening more minds with ofthe could Spiraldo or how they resilient such objects and has learned this new world perception Thus and apply relate to followers of and is resourceful to live without possessions which teaches the deeper seekers to truly the for He onward Spiraldo Glasses instance presses across the a- means he has phased out his mate- question their reliance upon mate- reveal that dont you have to be of world with no bounds in his way ture of na needs and has removed greed rial possessions as well as helps

vision to look for With all his he is excited perfect someone losses as Waldo fellow from his mind the newer learners to engage their If for the effort you put to look as ever and hopes that his friends and the Spiraldo Now am sure some might minds andjoin their spirit with the find you might that the Spiraldo we the Spiraldo seekers are as Now imagine yourself in wonder how could draw such Spiraldo

inside to Waldo as he is to continue and the of conclusion To ofyou guides you ready see place person just walking you give you this Well it seems there are more

and still allows to look at the the you sights around in your normal routine ifyou had apair ofsunglasses that mysteries than just the search for

rest of life from own Allthese and Waldos that found all your point objects Imagine you walking you wore the time would you our friend Waldo For now my of view Even the visual of nature overcoming them reflect upon the cane lying on the ground obvi just keep on walking slowly away friend in the Spiraldo will let

Waldo does not restrict those idea that Waldo and the it if who Spiraldo ously misplaced You might pick you happened to drop them you ponder more upon these ideas have mind and heart follow to are free to anyone because he does up and try to find the person who imagine most of you would stop Until next edition.. their friend Waldo not limit it only to the strong and dropped it So you start to walk in and pick them back up No matter

The cane that to take the but and all to follow direction think the if the cost 200 dollars shows swift any you person my glasses or

this the dont This is not to that Waldo is have discover that trip across world you say gone only to two dollars there is very good .1 RTA IVI The Sting October 31 2005

Doom Couldnt be worse if they tried Waiting..

Shrader of it much sense To those demons stopping engineeredtolooklike By Korey Kolberg Anyone who has seen the here heres my advice to you do other aliens and the third game Editor-in-Chief Staff Writer previews knows that there is first- not under any circumstances see involves actual demons from Hell

was born to review this movie scene in the this movie It doesnt even make released person point-of-view by finding secret tele Ever wonder what really goes loved Doom and Doom II movie was that this sci-fi movie hoping scene cheesy you can laugh porter on Mars Notice how neither on in restaurant Well you when was be cool to make the at Its And of these the younger enjoyed might enough just plain boring me games storylines are may not want to know but Doom III when was older though movie worth it It wasnt The that means lot same as that ofthe So did will saying movie Waiting give you the have not beaten it scene lasted five Lets start with the admittedly yet maybe minutes positives Painfully so low-down anyway like it or not Before sees this and it it difficult It has The Rock in anyone movie they throughout was ofDoom it It Another little thing in this In this comedy directed by Rob need to understand one fact to tell what on earth was did have at least tele movie is that could key going on actually one you tell what McKittrick you learn how em-

This movie is not There in Doom were even scene cuts the porter even though that teleporter was going to happen to certain ployees at popular food chain As to review which made that such Im going first-person POV traveled from Earth to Mars instead characters just by their call signs get their kicks in ordet to fight it in two ways First Ill review particular part even more confus of from Mars to its moons or Hell The character named Pinky turns off the realizations that their it as if the movie wasnt named into the Pinky demon The lives are going nowhere

Well call it Pseu character turns into Doom named Goat The movie focuses upon because think Doom thats the Hell Knight which is usu two waiters Monty and Dean

Then Ill review it catchy as ally just called goat demon or Monty is played by Ryan Reyn movie based on the hit video something similar And Sarge olds from other big movies game Doom well wont say what happens to like Blade Trinity and Van

PseuDoom follows band Sarge But please remember that Wilder and Dean is played by of Marines sent to Mars to inves the name ofthe zombie with the Justin Long from Dodgeball

little trouble been tigate theyd shotgun in Doom was Sarge True Underdog Story and having there It seems that some The first-person POV scene Jeepers Creepers While Dean genetic engineering has gone ter seemed more like it was from one struggles through the discovery ribly wrong and has begun to turn ofthose arcade games with gun that his life is going nowhere zombies and other than people into from first-person shooter Monty leads new employee demonic beings Thankfully for It might have been nice try but through the intricacies of the us this plot has never been done it didnt feellike any Doom game restaurant Shenanigan It is before while it they were doing easy to see how closely this fake

The two main characters The first-person scene also restaurant compares to popular that follow this leads into the with well throughout fight the places like Ruby Tuesdays or

ioto oi movie are Sarge and Reaper courtesy ..i.com largest enemy in this movie TGI Fridays Not even The Rock Or the BFG shown here could make this movie decent played by The Rock and Karl the Pinky demon Thats right Throughout the movie Urban respectively hoped The theres no Cacodemon no Lost employees try to one up Rock could save this movie but Soul no Cyberdemon and no their peers in their little games

mistaken looked similar tell the details was sorely ing The Pinky demon Spider Mastermind Even fight could you

Instead the plot was full of The CG in the movie was to that of the Pinky of Doom III with the Hell Knight doesnt re of these games but they are

would that it It did have All for holes Ive been following the pro- decent say is as There was BFG ally happen we get sitting something you just have to duction of this for III with the the this is to movie while good as Doom graphics company named UAC And through movie lousy fight see completely understand and know that many changes were turned all the way up The special it did have door surrounded by with Pinky demon And little Throughout it all one gains Lots of effects that but small idea at the hell made during production were what youd expect yellow lights so you knew you something else would ever- each

the plotlines were introduced and then pretty much from any horrormovie needed yellow keypad to get into so-hate to ruin story type ofemployee goes through never followed up on For instance made today and therefore were that door In the end this movie just Take the cooks the anger they you learn that Reapers parents pretty good Now that thats out of the cements the fact that it is for feel when someone shows up at were killed on Mars in what one The music whenever there way let me explain my background some reason nearly impossible closing The waitress who must can assume was some kind of ac was music was some form of hard for moment Im the type of for anyone to make good movie always have smile on her face cident And he didnt want to go rock In the beginning it felt very person who plays game for its based on video game Creators of even when she must deal with heinous of back to Mars because ofthat And out ofplace with the movie and was storyline As such am very fa these movies for whatever reason the most costumers

miliar with behind choose trash the be then thats it It no longer has any far too loud By the end the music the story Doom to pre-existing Perhaps you wont so ready importance to the storyline Things had quieted and worked lot better and Doom II and pretty familiar storyline and create something to send back food once you see

is that video it is like this happen all the time with the movie However overall with the storyline ofDoom III Ive that so far-gone from how specially prepared

Otherwise PseuDoom was the music did seem strange for even read the four Doom novels game that the movie shouldnt even to better suit your tastes called the video In the walk just very boring overall Most of sci-fi horror movie which dont think most people be the same as end one can

the time youre watching Marines Now Im going to discuss even know exist game away from this movie learning for this if facts of life walk through hallways Then rat it as movie based on the game As you can see Im pretty Sadly movie even many important

or monkey jumps out And then Doom or any sequel Ifyou never familiar with the storylines of the it had different title it would still Never anger people in charge of food White kids should more walking through hallways played Doom then you can stop Dooms The first two games in- be terrible movie your who to be And thats pretty much the extent reading because this wont make volve aliens were genetically not pretend gangster

you will agree with me after watching the movie Finally it sucks when you realize that This your life is dead end and your old high school rival is already successful could be
