E3 Report: Xbox 360

2009-06-03T05:41:00.000-07:00

So with most of the major announcements taken care of, I figured that I'd talk about E3, starting with what's coming for the 360.

Brutal Legend
Coming from the creative minds at Double Fine, we have Brutal Legend. This is your epic heavy metal hack and slasher, staring talents such as Jack Black and Lemmy Kilmister. I had a hell of a time with Psychonauts and I look forward to doing the same with this.

King of Fighters XII
I love me some old school fighters and KOF seems to be of old school awesomeness, akin to what we saw in Street Fighter IV.

Metal Gear Solid Rising
Kojima-san announced MGSR with a brief trailer showing of a new render of Raiden, the game's hero. Since it's now "Lighting Bolt Action: Metal Gear Solid" I'm guessing were going to get the freaky (but awesome) love-child of Ninja Gaiden and the other MGS games.

Halo 3: ODST
It's Halo, what can I say? But, what draws me to this is how this will be told through the flashbacks of other characters, leading to some very interesting storytelling.

Halo: Reach
I know what this is already, an adaption of the book, "Halo: Fall of Reach". It's going to be a good game none the less, but I smell some franchise milking.

ABP
Home + Guns = Awesome

Bayonetta
Seeing that this is basically a DMC rip-off doesn’t matter to me because it going to be a rip-off done right. Mainly because DMC's creator is leading the project.

Final Fantasy XII
The demo footage that was shown during the press conference was amazing and defiantly tells me that there are really no graphical differences between this and the PS3 Version. Also, the trailer got me hyped up. It was said that Lighting was designed to be a female Cloud and it looks like we’re getting a female Sephiroth too.

Assassin's Creed 2
Everything that has been shown so far is great. From trailer to the demo, it's looking up to be something awesome. I'm just wondering what’s going on with Desmond now.

Project Natal
The big part of the Microsoft press conference was Project Natal. I can't really explain it, but If Steven Spielberg says it’s good, I'd listen to him

That's it for now, I'll have more to come soon.

Figma Meiya Mitsurugi

2009-05-25T16:39:00.001-07:00

Whoa, she might end up being my first figma. No, it's not because of the skin-tight battle-suit (although that's not bad). Besides that the design is great, mainly because of her Katana. Anyways I don't think we've seen any good looking girls with katanas lately.

Meiya is coming out in July, Toodles

P.S. Meiya is from some series called "Muv-Luv". I heard it was some kind of dating game that spawned into a big franchise (as with Fate/Stay Night).

Arise, Dragonzord!

2009-05-25T06:47:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I picked up an MIB Dragon Dagger for $15! Yay! I was so happy about it, decided to make this!

Black is Back! ... and so is Otoya

2009-05-22T05:35:00.000-07:00

It's has recently been confirmed that Kamen Rider Black himself, Minami Kotaro otherwise known as Tetsuo Kurata is returning for the Decade Movie! Along with the rumors and scans with/about Shadowmoon, makes me think that Black is going to playing a bigger role than just "a cameo". I think a celebration is in order

Also in Decade News, Otoya Kurenai/Dark Kiva otherwise known as Kouhei Takeda is returning for a few episodes. Appearantly, he has something to do with how Decade gets Complete Form.

Decade just gets better and better, Toodles

I think I just died

2009-05-15T05:14:00.000-07:00

Holy crap... This morning, Igadevil dropped some pictures of Kuuga's and Decade's New Forms, Rising Ultimate Form and Complete Form respectivly. Starting with Kuuga, this form is frigging awesome. It definatly deserves an SIC figure or something with metal in it. I love how they recycled some of Kuuga's concept drawings for this... Now from Kuuga, we go on to Decade.

Now Complete Form is very nice looking, but many have called it fugly. I don't see why, but I agree with them on one thing... why the heck does he have cards all over him! I just don't get it, but hey they said the same thing about Den-O's Climax Form. I very much perfer Decade's default form to this. Well, I'm gonna go hide in a cave till my SIC Zeronos and Deneb gets here.

The Power Rangers Answer your Questions

2009-05-05T15:02:00.000-07:00

This is a cool little shot at Tokusatsu from Power Rangers RPM (but you already knew that). This makes me kinda want to watch Power Rangers again.

*Thumbs up to the Writers*

I Need New Pants

2009-04-29T17:52:00.001-07:00

As the title says, my pants just exploded due to the awesomeness of this magazine scan for... the Decade Movie!(and it's not fake!) The movie appearantly has The Showa and Heisei Riders (Including ZO, J, Shin, and Diend) fighting it out against the evil Dai-Shocker. Now if they manage to get all (or most) of the orginal actors back, I'm gonna need a new wardrobe.

*Prays for an Movie badass as Forever Red*

Reunion

2009-04-27T16:51:00.000-07:00

So, I watched Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children again the other day (with the original Japanese voice track) and it blew my mind. It was an awesome film none the less, although it lacked some plot here and there but it didn't matter a bit. Besides watching the film itself, my favorite part of dvd itself was the the Making of documentary. It's was so awesome to here about what the creators had to say, especially Nomura (and did I mention the monster and vehicle desinger has done some SIC Figures). I'm really wanting to pick up a bunch of the Play Arts figures now... Going on to the video above (a promo for the "Complete" version of this film) I really want to see this as well (mainly for the added scenes and content), but it's Bluray only. I guess I have to rent a PS3 to watch it (or wait for it to leak out on the net). Check it out if you can, and to all of you who own a Bluray player.. you suck...

The State of Myself

2009-04-22T14:55:00.000-07:00

So, I have some stuff to share that has recently came out of the woodwork. First off (just because it could possibly mean a bunch of money coming my way), I'M GETTING AN AWARD! What for you ask? Well I don't know, but it's bound to be something good!

Click here for the Four White Guys Banner

Second, me and a couple of friends have started up a group known as The Four White Guys. We plan to do a podcast and some comedy videos here and there if our ideas plan out. We currenly have an Webs page, but for the sake of professionalism (which Jerry seems to hate), we'll be setting up a Blogger once we get around to it. Also, big thanks again to Ragna "D" BloodEdge on HJU for our banner... (which Jerry seems to dislike, although he hasn't seen it)

Finally, I blame Leiji Matsumoto... because the girl I have crush on kinda looks Yuki....

Well, toodles *goes off to gloat*

Insert Fangasm Here

2009-04-18T07:15:00.000-07:00

*Exclusive* Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Footage from Bay Films/Michael Bay Dot Com on Vimeo.

THIS MOVIE IS GONNA ROCK!

EDIT: Aww, they took it down...

Fight On!

2009-04-15T16:34:00.000-07:00

I was just watching TokyoCooney's latest video and saw a link to a Commerical he was in so I watched it. This Tokusatsu inspired commerical is for Norton Anti-Virus and stars the Norton Fighter... IT'S AWESOME!

Hell, Hironobu Kageyama did a theme song for him

Awesome, did I mention that the girl who posts these Norton Fighter videos is really cute...

I GOT A TRIPOD!

2009-04-15T15:32:00.000-07:00

BOOYAH!

Yes, I got a great tripod from my dad and with I intend to do many things (hopefully).

New and Improved

2009-04-13T16:16:00.000-07:00

So, the changes have been made and I'm really happy with how they've turned out. The biggest changes are the new banner by Ragna "D" BloodEdge on HJU (cause my photo editing skills suck)and I've done away with the jukebox (it was starting to get annoying). Changes also have been made to my Youtube channel as well, so check that out. I hope keep this updated more regularly in the future.

Toodles

P.S.
Again a very special thanks to Ragna, check out his stuff

Musical Obessions - Easter Edition

2009-04-12T11:05:00.000-07:00

Let's go over what I've been listening to lately,

Gackt -
"Lust for Blood"
"Asrun Dream"
"Mizerable"
"Redemption"
My first experience with this song was when Dirge of Cerberus was released, then hearing it today in full form is amazing.

Team.Nekokan[Neko] -
"Ksk Kimino Sonotewa Kokoni Aru"
"Air Man Ga Taosenai!"
"Re: Vive ~Under The Moon Light~"
"Seasons of You"
"Winter Sceneries"
"Lunar Eclipse"
"No Sleep Until Clear!"
"No Sleep Until Pass!"
The normal version is great on it's own but when you add in a female vocalist, it even better. Now it sounds like Aya Hirano is the female vocalist in this, I think I may even hear her Haruhi or Konota voice in this as well, but I could be wrong.

Daft Punk -
"Discovery"
I'm not just saying that one or two songs on this album are great, the whole thing is! And yet again, watch Interstella 5555, It's why I picked this up.

L'arc~en~Ciel -
"Drink it Down"
A great song from a great game, nothing more I can really say (besides the ideas that the song title gives me).

That's it for now, I hope you guys enjoy these songs as much I do. Toodles and have a happy Easter.

One More Time

2009-04-10T18:05:00.000-07:00

Hey people, It's Coop again and I'm back (with something...). Now before my news, I highly recommend watching Interstella 5555 (It can be found in it's entirity on youtube). It's easily one of the best anime films I have ever seen. So, in coming days I'll be making some changes around here so look for that (if it doesn't fall through).

POWAAAAA CONVOY!

2009-02-28T10:01:00.000-08:00

You see my problem... this toy is awesome... but it's a TFcon exclusive... and my parents don't want to drive me to Canada...

Anyways, just checking in...

YATA, YATA, YATTAMAN!

2009-02-01T08:32:00.000-08:00

YESSSSSSSS!

Start of a New Decade

2009-01-29T14:24:00.000-08:00

Whoa... episode one was awesome. Well, since I don't feel like spoiling it for everyone, you can find episode one of Kamen Rider Decade on www.tvnihon.com through their torrents. And yes... it's more or likely going to be 30 episodes but, as Tanuki on Henshin Justice says

"Have you seen modern Kamen Rider? Kiva had 26 episodes of content dragged into 50. They're gonna do it by first trimming the fat, then using Crisis's chestplate to grill the rest of the fat away, leaving behind only lean, delicious PLOT"

Sounds good... now where is G?

Coop Reviews a Figure... Dead or Alive Kasumi feat. Shunya Yamashita (P2 Version)

2009-01-23T15:32:00.000-08:00

So, I have been considering on doing a text review and I figured that this was the right choice. Yay for Youmacon's Dealer's Room!

We have this very nice (and sexy) PVC of Kasumi from Dead or Alive (DUH!). As you can see, she has been designed by Shunya Yamashita, known for his works of very busty and shaply women(these have been let to many figures). I didn't even know he designed this until I took a closer look at the box when I was taking pictures. Anyways, Kasumi comes with a base and a nice little dagger that fits into her open hand.

Going on to the sculpting, this is top notch (considering that this is basicly a UFO Catcher Prize).

Looking at her legs, the stockings are fantasicly sculpted, from the stockings cutting into the skin to the riffles in the stockings as well. On the feet, the guards on her shoes and the shoes themselves are fantastic.

Moving on to her back, she has a very nice sheaf for her dagger (which doesn't fit the dagger due to arm placement) along with a nice painted on insigina of her former clan. Also she has a really nice... uh... *cough*butt*cough*.

Closing up, she has very nice sculpting and paint all over the place (Hair, Face, Hands, Gauntlets, Boobs.....). Aside from my crappy review, I highly recommend picking this up but, if your not into the QC issues with UFO Catcher Toys, then I wouldn't pick it up. Anyways, See Ya... Toodles.....

I WILL HAVE YOU!!!!!!!

Sonic and The Black Knight... please don't suck

Week (or Month) in Review - Together We Can Fight the Fight

2009-01-11T06:59:00.000-08:00

Toku News -

So we start off on one of the biggest topics of the year, KAMEN RIDER DRAGON KNIGHT! I watched episode one the other day and I have to say, PR is gonna get shafted. Kamen Rider Dragon Knight feels alot like MMPR in some ways but it's also very good at giving you some what of a Showa rider feel of sorts. I'd highy reccommend checking it out but, also check out Power Rangers RPM when it comes around... why? ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN GO-ONGER!! *Can't wait for the KRDK figures to come around*

Speaking of Kamen Rider, I'm looking very forward to Kamen Rider Decade. I hope to god this won't be a trainwreck mainly because of the following.

- Interesting Concept
- Some Returning Riders and Actors
- Toy Line
- F'n Gackt is doing the Theme Song!

I know I'm late on the wagon to report this stuff but, better late than never... I guess. I still need to watch kiva ._.

Thank god, the evil known as "Go-Onger" is on it's way out! Can't say much about Shinkenger at the moment except it's good to see Psychic Lover doing theme, but it looks to be at least better than Go-onger. That reminds me, I should make a scale that says "if's not as bad as Go-onger it's ok", Although there is a lot of crappy toku out there.

Toy News -

Busou Shinkis are awesome... What Busou Shinkis basicly equate to are somewhat expensive figures that are basicly girls in plugsuit-like outfits with somesort of mecha assessory. Another bonus it that they come with codes you can plug into a game called "Busou Shinki: Battle Rondo" which is a fighting game of sorts that comes with a program called "Diorama Studio". Diorama Studio allows you to make dioramas with your figures in the game. I have Strarf bis on the way from HLJ, that's catchy. These figures will run you from 15 to 120 bucks so there not cheap (but fun).

An image of Movie Sideswipe was revealed the other day on TFW2005, and it's definately on my movie-line buy list.

Here's my christmas haul
- Transformers Sam's Club 5-pack
- Animated Ultra Magnus
- Robot Heroes Beast Wars Figures
- Optimash Prime
- Go-On Green + Black Figures
- X-box 360
- Prince of Persia
- Soul Calibur 4

Here's what I have on the way
- SH Figarts Kamen Rider Gatack
- Strarf Bis
- Revoltech Rocker Bunny Haruhi

Stuff I found intresting -

Note: Some of this stuff may not be Safe for Work... or kids

I really like Gantz Abridged and I have some what of a liking of Kei Kishimoto now... more here... http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=8695D5171FD2C5AD

HOT POCKETS!

I'd really like to Symmetrical Dock with Kishimoto sometime... uh.. you didn't hear that...

The one who has courage always claims victory! and with that were done with this week or month or whatever... I leave you with a video...

A Crappy End to a Good Week

2009-01-10T12:25:00.000-08:00

So, this week didn't end so well. Why, you ask?. Well, my good friend and youth pastor, Kevin was fired from his job as youth pastor. I talked to him last night and he said it was mainly because they didn't like the way he was doing things (in which there was no problem to me). The worst part of it is that he's not even allowed to say goodbye (*gives the church commitity that fired him the finger*). I'm obviously pissed but, at least I'm gonna try to get a goodbye party for him together for friday. Well, take care Kev, and I'll make sure to give them a little hell. See ya on friday (hopefully)....

haha I have such a pig nose...

Week in Review - Basketcases All Around

2008-10-12T07:10:00.000-07:00

So I've been gone for a while and I'd figure that I'd do a week in review. So, here it is...

Watch Celestial Fighter SUN-RED #01 in Animation | View More Free Videos Online at Veoh.com

The Nonsensical Video above is Episode 1 of Tentai Senshi Sun Red. Sun Red is very much a tokusatsu parody, but I'm just stating the obvious. Sun Red follows the misadventures of the title character, who never transforms but always wears his helmet, in addition to that he's an asshole. The bad guys in this dosen't have a secret evil lair, but just a house in which all the monsters live in. The Monsters don't stand a chance against Red, cause there not evil at all and get there asses kick even when Red isn't transformed. Along with dealing with the monsters, Red also has to deal with his girlfriend as well.So yeah, Sun Red is one of those "WTF" shows that heavily reminds me of BoBoBo, cause that was the king of WTF. Also on another point of intrest, it look like the whole show is animated with flash, with the exception of the OP. So check it out!

Speaking of basketcases, I'm one appearantly. So I took this test,
http://www.4degreez.com/misc/personality_disorder_test.mv

Disorder | Rating
Paranoid: Low
Schizoid: Low
Schizotypal: High
Antisocial: Low
Borderline: Low
Histrionic: High
Narcissistic: Very High
Avoidant: Low
Dependent: Low
Obsessive-Compulsive: Moderate

Schizotypal -
Many believe that schizotypal personality disorder represents mild schizophrenia. The disorder is characterized by odd forms of thinking and perceiving, and individuals with this disorder often seek isolation from others. They sometimes believe to have extra sensory ability or that unrelated events relate to them in some important way. They generally engage in eccentric behavior and have difficulty concentrating for long periods of time. Their speech is often over elaborate and difficult to follow.

Histrionic -
People with histrionic personality disorder are constant attention seekers. They need to be the center of attention all the time, often interrupting others in order to dominate the conversation. They use grandiose language to discribe everyday events and seek constant praise. They may dress provacatively or exaggerate illnesses in order to gain attention. Histrionics also tend to exaggerate friendships and relationships, believing that everyone loves them. They are often manipulative.

Obsessive-Compulsive -
While Obsessive-Compulsive personality disorder (OCDP) sounds similar in name to obsessive-compulsive anxiety disorder, the two are markedly different disorders. People with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder are overly focused on orderliness and perfection. Their need to do everything "right" often interferes with their productivity. They tend to get caught up in the details and miss the bigger picture. They set unreasonably high standards for themselves and others, and tend to be very critical of others when they do not live up to these high standards. They avoid working in teams, believing others to be too careless or incompetent. They avoid making decisions because they fear making mistakes and are rarely generous with their time or money. They often have difficulty expressing emotion.

Narcissistic -
Narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by self-centeredness. Like histrionic disorder, people with this disorder seek attention and praise. They exaggerate their achievements, expecting others to recongize them as being superior. They tend to be choosy about picking friends, since they believe that not just anyone is worthy of being their friend. Narcissists tend to make good first impressions, yet have difficulty maintaining long-lasting relationships. They are generally uninterested in the feelings of others and may take advantage of them.

So yeah... I'm nuts!! *Runs off in a Godzilla suit to terroize random people*

With my rampage finished, I have seen a few episodes of Transformers Animated and it's awesome. What I very much like about this show is that it's arcs aren't long and drawn out (I'm looking at you Energon Trilogy). It's so awesome, I bought a few of toys too. I highly recommend watching a few episodes, you won't regrent it.

To finish things up, I have some reviews and videos in the works for my channel and I'm working on my fic. I never get enough time to get on the net (aside from the weekends) cause of school and things that are going on in my life. So expect thing to come all slower rate.

With every thing I wanted to mention mentioned,here's the Touch by Stan Bush to send ya off. Toodles.

HENSHIN! ~STRIKE FORM~

2008-10-03T14:12:00.000-07:00

To co-inspire with the release of "Sabara Kamen Rider Den-O: Final Countdown", Bandai has crafted the spify figure above, but it's a yahoo japan exclusive. I'm definatly contacting celga (if possible) to help me get this amazing figure, which I will definatly review (maybe even for CollectionDX, due to it's high amount of win). YAY, "ORE SANJOU!!"

I'm Going to Youmacon!

2008-09-30T18:08:00.000-07:00

Knowing that I am now going to youmacon (yay!), I disided to post another Vlog for your viewing pleasure.

Rocky Review Series: Part 3 - Stallion Returns

2008-09-27T07:16:00.000-07:00

It's been awhile, so here's the final part of the Rocky Review Series. As always, there will be spoilers

Rocky V takes place right after Rocky IV, with Rocky arriving back in america, but there's something diffrent about him. Soon after, Rocky goes to the doctor to find that the fight with Drago has given him brain damage, thus reverting him to the Rocky we all know and love. Due to Paulie's Drukeness, the Balboa fortune is then lost. The Balboas and Paulie move into Paulie's old house. To make a living, Rocky and Paulie open Mickey's Gym again. Rocky soon meets Tommy Gunn, a kid who had a rough childhood and turned his rage into boxing. Rocky desides to take Tommy under his wing, making Rocky's Son feel ignored. Tommy wins a string of fights until an evil promoter becomes Tommy's new manager. Tommy and Rocky's relationship is then broken by the promoter, which then results in a street fight in the end. At the end, Rocky and his son climb up the steps one more time.

From what I've heard, alot of people hate this movie, but for some odd reason I loved it. What really made this for me was giving use back that Rocky we knew from the first film and putting him back in his element, because III and IV felt so unnatural for Rocky's Character. For me it was the proper Rocky send-off for the time.

16 years after Rocky V, Rocky makes a return to boxing. Now in his 60's, Rocky now owns a Resturant that he and his late wife, Adrain started up back in the mid 90's. After seeing a computer fight of himself back in his prime vs the current heavyweight champ, Rocky disides to get back up and fight again. After a crapload of unnessary plot stuff, Rocky fight the Champ only to lose later. The final scene shows Rocky at Adrian's tombston as he then walks away.

So yeah, Rocky Balboa wasn't really all that good. I thought it was ok, but I commend Stallone on going back to this franchise on last time.

That's end of the road I guess, so here are my rankings and ratings for the Rocky Films.

6. Rocky III - 1.5/5

2008-09-20T07:50:00.000-07:00

Above is the promo for DigitalPh33r's New Machinima, Hard Justice. It seems to me that he's gonna make this more of a dark comedy with episodes that are serious with episodes like the promo above. Nice Job on the promo Jon, hope it turns out well. Still waiting for DEM Act 4, but I can wait longer. Toodles.

PS - The Last Part of the Rocky Review Series will be up soon, I'm hoping that I can get it up tommorow.

Rocky Review Series: Part 2 - Rise of the Tiger

2008-09-14T07:46:00.000-07:00

After the sucess of the first 2 film, it was only natural that there was going to be a Rocky III. Unfortunatly, things began to take a turn for the worse with this series. Again, there will be spoilers

Rocky III takes place 3 years after the end of Rocky II and apperantly, Rocky is now rich. Rocky has become a bussnessman and has lost his speech impediment. During the unvaling of the Rocky Statue at the museum, Rocky announces his retirement but, a brutish boxer by the name of Clubber Lang challenges Rocky to a fight. Rocky agrees and beings to train with Mickey. The part about this is that Rocky's training sessions are like parties, with tons of people asking for autographs and pictures. At the fight, Rocky is easily defeated by Clubber and Mickey dies of heart failure. Now filled with grief again, Rocky mopes arounds Mickey's Gym until a face from the past offers to help him prepare for a rematch with Clubber. The Face is none other than Apollo Creed. Apollo takes Rocky to where he started, in the slums of California. Apollo does this to get Rocky's egde or his "Eye of the Tiger" back. Rocky then furiously trains with Apollo and his former manager, Duke. Although there have been a few bumps in the road during his training, Rocky manages to defeat Clubber.

Compared to the first 2 films, this one sucked. Rocky is not the Rocky we all know and love in this one. All this movie was is just away for people to make money, not for entertainment value, hell the only good thing to come out of this was Eye of the Tiger.

Rocky IV takes place right after III and Rocky is pretty much the same as he is in the last one. When a Boxer named Ivan Drago from the USSR comes to fight Rocky, Apollo desides to fight him. In the fight against Drago, Apollo is brutally mashed to death. Now wanting revenge, Rocky travels to the USSR to train and fight Drago. After training in the russian country, Rocky takes on Drago and yet again wins.

So Rocky IV was a little better than III but, it still lacked. The only thing going for it was the crazy amount of montages and that was about it. They say that after IV, that V was a piece a crap and Balboa was amazing, I beg to differ...

Rocky Review Series: Part 1 - The Italian Stallion Rides

2008-09-13T09:06:00.000-07:00

Since I still don't have much in me for a Week in Review, I'd figure that I'd do a few other things while idea accumlate for one. So, after watching the AVGN's review's of the Rocky movies, I though that I'd watch them all and review them. There will 3 parts to this, Part 1 - The Italian Stallion Rides (Rocky I + II), Part 2 - Rise of The Tiger (Rocky III + IV), Part 3 - The Tiger Dies, The Stallion Returns (Rocky V + Balboa). Let's get things started. Also before I begin, there will be spoliers.

Rocky introduces us to Rocky Balboa, a poor but, good hearted boxer from Philly who is a collector for a loan shark on the side. With the help of his friend Paulie, Rocky begins to devople a relationship with Adrian, Paulie's Sister. As Rocky and Adrian grow closer, The Heavy Weight Boxing Champion, Apollo Creed comes into town in search of an Unknown for him to fight in a Exibition Match. Because of his fighting style, Rocky is chosen by Apollo for the fight. Rocky then furiouly trains for the match with his wise-ass trainer, Mickey. While doing this, Rocky becomes somewhat of an celebrity around town. At the Match, Rocky and Apollo duke it out in a very close fight. It turns out to be that Apollo wins when it was kinda apparant that Rocky won, but even know he didn't win, Rocky dosen't care, he just wants Adrian at his side.

I did like this quite a bit, but not as much as I like Rocky II. Rocky falls short for me because of the pacing. If the pacing wasn't as sluggish, I would of loved this film 10 times more. Let's continue, shall we?

Rocky II picks up right after the end of Rocky, where the fight has ended and Rocky along with Apollo are rushed to the hospital. After Rocky gets out, He proposes to Adrian and soon after marries her. With all the money left over from the fight, Rocky buys a Car, a few Watches, a Jacket with a tiger on it, a new collar for his dog, a collar he wears as a braclet, and a house. Meanwhile, Apollo has been critized by people for riging the fight with Rocky so, he disides to set up a rematch but, he has to avertise himself as the villian so Rocky will come out to fight him. Back on Rocky's side, Rocky and Adrian aren't doing so well when it comes to money and with a baby on the way, Rocky has many jobs until discovering that he has no choice but to fight even though Adrian dosen't want him to fight again. The stress from this causes Adrian to fall into a coma, giving birth to there son while in that state. Filled with grife, Rocky stays by Adrian's Side till she wakes up. Once she wakes up, Adrian and Rocky see there son for the first time. She then tells Rocky to win the fight against Apollo. This then starts an epic training montage. After arriving late, Rocky dukes it out with Apollo again. Rocky narrowly wins, becoming The Heavy Weight Boxing Champion.

Rocky II takes all the great things about the first and greatly improves upon them. There is some draging in this but it isn't as bad as in the first one. How this movie starts right off from the first makes me think that this should be rereleased in combonation with the first so it show the epic in it's true entirity. After Rocky II, things when down hill, Introducing us to the Rocky that isn't Rocky but, it did have a kick ass song.

Sonic and Megaman: Returning to their Former Glory?

2008-09-07T09:26:00.000-07:00

So, seeing as I don't have much content in me for a Week in Review, I'd figure that I give my oppinion on the the future of the Sonic and Megaman franchises, which have been notoroious for pumping out craploads of shitty games a year.

Since Sonic's transition to 3D, the franchise has been steadly deterating. 2 prime examples of this are Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). Shadow felt like a blantent mash-up of Sonic and Guns while the 2006 Game felt like it had great potental but, due to the time restraints Sonic Team had, the game was very much incomplete. After, the flop of the 2006 Game, Sega released Sonic and the Secret Rings for the Wii. The Secret Rings was not a great game but, as many people say (including myself), it was a step in the right direction for the Series. A few months back, a new Sonic game for the DS made by Bioware was announced. This made me think that if Sega got a group like Bioware to make a Sonic game, Sonic was destined for a grand comeback,thus supported even more by his appearance in Brawl. Then a new game for all the current home consles (including the PS2) called "Sonic Unleashed" was announced. From what I've seen, this game may be what we where all hoping the 2006 game to be, but there may be a chink in this game's armor. A new engine called the Hedgehog Engine is being used for the PS3 and 360 versions of the game, while the PS2 and Wii versions are using a modified engine from past games. Along with this, there will be some change ups in stages and gameplay between the versions. This may make one version of the game a piece of shit, while the other one is great. As of recently, a sequel to the Secret Rings called, "Sonic and the Black Knight" was annouced. The Black Knight, is reported to make the movement more like you would have with the adventure games along with the addition of a sword for Sonic to swing around. With this line-up, it definately means that Sonic is set up to make a grand comeback.

The Blue Bomber hasn't been doing so well lately. Why? too many shitty to sub-par games have be realeased. The main offender of this is the Battle Network and Star Force series. But, Star Force has taken the mistakes made in make the BN games and says "Let's put a out a few games that are fun when you wanna kill some time and also, let's not drag it on like we did with BN". I say that after Star Force 3 is released, stop making games that go back to the same universe of SF and BN and focus on new games from the X and Orginal series along with a new ZX or Legends game here and there. Like Sonic, it seems to be that Megaman is making a comeback with Mega Man 9, which goes back to the orginal formula of the series, make a fun and solid game.

So in conclusion, it looks like both series on there way to being restored to the former glory, but I do see a few bumps in the road on the way.

Smash for Justice!

2008-09-05T14:22:00.000-07:00

As of recently I have became Voice Actor of sorts in Wolfenblade's "Smash Online: The Rakkuro Chronicles" Machinima. I voice 2 characters, a Meta Knight player named Kenkaku (Swordsman in Japanese) and a Falco player named Finikkusu (The Japanese Preunciation of Phoenix). I'm not gonna say anymore. Also when a episode of Smash Online is released, I will make sure that I post it here.

After getting home today I was looking for info on the new Kabuto SH Figuarts Figures and I stumbled upon Max Factory's Miku Hatsune Figma Figure. Miku is an "Artificial Artist" created with Yamaha's Vocaloid Program. Vocaloid is a voice syntheseser program. I think I may have to buy this figure. Why? She's cute. Cosplay as her, Shokotan!

While search youtube, I found this trailer for the Live-Action Detroit Metal City Movie. This insane movie stars Ken'ichi Matsuyama from Death Note Fame with an appearance from KISS' Gene Simmons. DMC came out last week. I'm definately am going have to get this along with Kantoku Banzai, The Live-Action Pyu to Fuku Jaguar Movie, The American Release of the Death Note Films, L Change The WorLd, and this on DVD when I can get them.

Also, I should point out that Masami Nagasawa of ProDai fame voices one of the Characters in the DMC OVA.

This piece of epic awesomeness is the Revoltech Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. For the price of this figure, I'd say that it will very much worth the $20 bucks for it. Revoltech TTGL is due to be released in October and is already up for pre-order up on HLJ with a special Early Bird Discount.

Week in Review - "It" Rears it's Ugly Head

2008-08-24T13:53:00.000-07:00

No, not that "It", I mean School... man, my puns are so retarded. In about a week I'm starting High School. Here's hoping I survive.

*Swigs a 2-Liter of Root Beer*

As of lately, I have been watching some J-Dramas here and there and one of them is Yasuko to Kenji. So far I've really been enjoying it, especially Episode 5. The story goes something like this: Yasuko to Kenji follows the Story of Yasuko Oki as she deals with her Over-Protective Brother, Kenji while she tries to hook her friend's Sister with him so she can date her Freind. That's a basic outline of it, to get the whole story watch the show. Subs could be found at

http://fansubs.shibukai.net/

but, the site has crashed for some odd reason.

Along with Yasuko to Kenji, I have been watching Proposal Daisakusen (Often abbrevated to Pro Dai) which is awesome! So far there has been only one meh Episode that I have seen and that's Episode 2. Well before I start rambling off anymore about how good it is and how awesome Yamapi is, I better explain the story. In Pro Dai, a man by the name of Ken Iwase (Yamapi) loves his childhood friend, Rei Yoshida but, unfortunatly, he dosen't realize this till she gets married. At the Wedding Reception, a fairy appears and gives Ken the ability to go back in time thru the pictures in a slideshow so he can win the woman he loves. And there you have it, one of the best shows I have seen so far (and I'm only on Episode 2)... Yamapi is Awesome, do not deny it. Links to subs can be found at

Well, that's about it for this week. Here's Summer Days by Do As Infinity to send ya off, Toodles.

2008-08-11T13:02:00.000-07:00

For a while now I've known about Shokotan but, she really didn't stand out to me till a little earlier today. Around 45 minutes ago I read her Wikipedia Entry and her Blog... SHE'S FREAKING AWESOME!! Her being an Otaku, an Vocalist, an Manga Artist, and Alot of other stuff has given me a huge crush on her. She's like the Dream Girl that I will probally never have. So to conclued, ROCK ON SHOKOTAN, love ya!!

Week in Review - Two Parks for the Price of One!

2008-08-10T08:46:00.000-07:00

Hey, guys. If you've been wondering where I was last week, I was at Michigan's Adventure on Monday. In preparing for the trip, I forgot to post last week's Week in Review. So, whatever. Let's get started... I think.

The other day, I started watching Keitai Sousakan 7. Keitai Sousakan 7 follows the cyber-terroist fighting exploits of a boy named Keita and his Robot-Cellphone Partner, Phone Braver 7, Seven for short. So far, it kills every other Toku that's been out this year. Although it's a Toku, I wouldn't count it as one. I would say that it's a more of a Sci-Fi Drama than a Toku. So if your getting bored of Kiva or Go-onger, I highly recommend that you start watching. Subs can be found at,

http://www.orderofzeronos.com/topic367.html

Speaking of Keitai Sousakan 7, in Japan there are real Phone Bravers. No, I'm not crazy, the phone pictured above comes from Toshiba's new Softbank 815T PB line of phones. These phones are used in the show and have features simmilar to that of there TV counterparts but, to a lesser degree. These probally won't hit the states, so you'll have 2 options right now. Buy the Toy or Buy the Phone and have it modded for use here. Personally, I'd choose the second option.

Before I started watching Keitai Sousakan 7 the other day, I watched Den-O and Kiva: Climax Deka. It was pretty good, it was kinda of a roller coster ride tbat you didn't want to end. The only grip I have with this movie is it's misleading title. The title make you think that Kiva is a main character, he's not. Kiva's appearance is nothing more but a cameo. It would of been better on Toei's part if they just called Kamen Rider Den-O: Climax Deka and keep Kiva's appearance a secret. Doing this would of given movie goers a suprise that Kiva has small role in this. Besides that, it was a pretty good movie. I'm even gonna make an MV of it using my new favorite song, Sands of Time by Back-On (The 1st Ending theme to Keitai Sousakan 7)

So that's about it for this week, here's Individual-System by TETRA-FANG to send you off, toodles.

I also need to see Machine Girl, it sounds wicked awesome

Week in Review - Toy Story on Crack

2008-07-27T09:41:00.000-07:00

A few days ago, I found a series of stop-motion animation short on Youtube that involve a group of toys playing rock band and the chaos that insues. As you can already see the creator, Keith3D, takes sound bites from numorus sources and turns them in awesome comidical matireal. I highly reccomend watching the rest of this series, it's right up there with Arby n' The Chief in my book. Keith3D's stop-motion shorts can be found here,

http://youtube.com/view_play_list?p=7EA88CE4BE8E92E0

So if your wondering what that has to do with anything, you must of be gone for the last week. The Audio from this video was recently used in R5 Central's Mark Musashi Interview. This interview probally made my week, because it was very cool to hear about the life and Experances of this awesome awesome stuntman. You can find a link to R5 Central and Mark's Blog on the sidebar.

The Leaked Teaser Trailer for Tr2n (Tron) was shown at the SDCC a few days ago. Even though i've only seen bits and pieces of the first movie when I was a little kid, I'm really exited for this. There is no set release date on Tr2n.

I don't think I need to explain how much of an Epic video that was.

That is about it for this week but, I have one more thing to say before I go. As of recently, I've been too busy in the real world, thus giving me little to no time to work on youtube videos. Because of that, I'm thinking of stopping putting videos up. If I do, I will be writing reviews here on SJ.

So I guess that's about it for this week, here's Kaidoku Funou by Jinn (Yes, I've been watching a little Code Geass)

Oh, I forgot something. Here's a Public Service Announcement from Jack Black,

Review - The Dark Knight

2008-07-22T10:33:00.000-07:00

So, last night I saw the Dark Knight (The Sequel to 2005's Batman Begins). The Film itself was pretty good for the most part put I do have a few gripes with it here and there. The following can pretty much sum up my opinion.

Pros -
Great Cast
Great Special Effects
Great Story
Great Twists and Turns through out

Cons -
No Real Main Character, It felt like they were all just supporting characters
The Story Drags a little

So in conclusion this movie was just a little short off being amazing but, worth the 20 bucks to go see it. The Dark Knight gets a 4.5/5. Go check it out, toodles.

RIP Heath Ledger

Week in Review - Kimi Sentai... Hanaenger!!

2008-07-20T08:15:00.000-07:00

Banner by Tsubasa Dragon of HJU

So, you must be wondering what Kimi Sentai Hanaenger is well it's sentai that put together by me and a few freinds. Also, yours truly is the Green Ranger. After some talking, this has turned into a fic that is being written by Takuya and Ryoutaro of HJU. I can't reveal much more but, here's the fic. Enjoy

http://henshinjustice.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26303

Also in other news, I'm unpleased to say that I'm not getting the God Cloth Pegasus Seiya Figure (damnit!) but, I am getting the reissue of Pegasus Seiya (V2) from 2003. It should be here soon... I think...

So I didn't see Hellboy 2 (so you may use your signature attacks on me) but, as the title suggests, I'm seeing the Dark Knight on monday and I'm looking very forward to it. Also I've heard awesome things about the Joker, RIP Heath Ledger. Also I don't see this use your signature attacks on me.

The Flaming Mass of Awesome known as E3 2008 was going on recently but it really wasn't that awesome. If anything I say that Nintendo bombed this and Sony won this with Microsoft in a close second. There were a few gems here and there but the thing I look the forward too the most is...

Speaking of games, Mega64 is a group of gamers who do comidic skits based off of games in the style in how the Jackasses would do something weird in public or just normal skits. Here's one of there Skits, Mario Kart Crash...

And finally some crazy adds, staring our favorite Govenator, Arnold Schwarzenegger

2008-07-13T11:47:00.000-07:00

So after talking about Saint Seiya the other day, I desided to start watching it. From watching the first 5 episodes, I'd have to say that this is one of the best anime series I have seen so far. It kinda gives me the feeling I got when I was a litte kid, tuning to DBZ everyday after school and the waiting for the next day so I could watch more. So in conlusion, I highly recommend watching this.

Week in Review - Big Willie Smith

2008-07-11T19:42:00.000-07:00

So as the video suggests, I saw Hancock on monday and it was a decent flick. It wasn't ocsar worthy or anything but, anything with Will "The Fresh Prince" Smith is automaticly a 3/5 for me. Come on, it's very hard to not love the man.

Good Times, Bel Air Represent.

While were still in the movie department, see Hellboy 2. I know I'm going to see it, and if you don't I'll use my new signature attack on you, "SUPER AWESOME RYUSEI KEN GIGA DRILL BREAKER X!" So watch out. *falls out of seat in a fit of incoherent laughter*

I recently discovered the monster known as Saint Seiya, and from what I've seen, it's awesome. From what I've heard about it, it's about the a group of warriors called the Bronze Saints who fight with forces of the evil Hades in a holy war of epic preportions. Making up the Bronze Saints are our main heroes: Pegasus Seiya, Dragon Shiryu, Andromeda Shun, Cygnus Hyoga, and Phoenix Ikki. The toys are awesome too. *adds show to watch list and toys to want list*

Speaking of my watch list, I haven't been watching anything lately. Here's my list, I guess,

Gekiranger – 39
Zyuranger – 0
Kiva - 7
Black – 8
Gurren Lagann – 0
Saint Seiya - 0
akihabara@DEEP – 0
Gokusen - 0

I good list I think. Although I'm kinda laughing about the fact that I haven't finished Gekiranger. *falls out of seat again*

Well, I finally got around to updating my channel (took me long enough). And I wanted to give you taste of what's to come.

I'm guessing some of you reconized the song in that video, so here's Airman ga Taosenai by Project-Delta to send you off, toodles.

Week in Review - Aftermath of the 4th

2008-07-05T14:32:00.000-07:00

Well yesterday was the 4th of July and I was out in front of my dad's bar, selling water. I happened to pocket $62 (now $55 due to some videos I rented). So with my cash, I'm thinking about getting a few things.

- Revoltech Gurren Lagann

- Koe - The Back Horn

- $10 Worth of Stuff on iTunes

So yeah, I'm doing good.

Earlier today, I rented Godzilla:DAMM and Starfox Assault. Their older games but really fun to play (espically Starfox when you have a friend playing with you). Viva la Retro!

Well that's about it, so in light of the holiday here's a double dose of music, toodles.

Week in Review - Hana Kimi, Good Times...

2008-06-27T11:48:00.000-07:00

So, as of Wednesday I have finished Hana Kimi. IT WAS AMAZING!! No questions asked, this is a 5/5 in my book. Why? Great Cast, Great Story, Great Crack. Don't pass this one up, I highly recommend watching this amazing show.

A little while ago I found out about a hero by the name of Casshern, who happens to be a badass. From what I know, this show is about guy who turned himself into a cyborg to fight an evil army in a post-apocolipic setting. Helping him out along the way is his trust robot dog, Freinder. Kamen Rider Casshern... I mean Casshern comes from Tatsunko, well know for making tokusatsu-esq anime such as Karas and Gatachaman. I'll defenitly be watching this one if I can find subs of it.

Speaking of robot-superheros, it was recently annouced that Megaman 9 will be released later this year on WiiWare. Megaman 9 is a return to the orginal Megaman style of gameplay shown in the old NES titles and has been said to be inspired by Megaman 2. The graphics and sound will also be returning to there orginal form. Retro is making a comeback.

A few days ago, I found this awesome dream guitar editor that alows to take a model you like and pimp it out. Here's mine,

You can find the guitar editor at http://www.nymphusa.com/tele/

Well, that's about it for this week. Here's Koe by The Back Horn to send you off, toodles.

ROCK ON FOR GREAT JUSTICE!!

HANA KIMI IS THE BEST SHOW EVAH!!

2008-06-25T09:21:00.000-07:00

So, I recently started watching Hana Kimi and I'm all most done with it but, it is one of the best shows I have ever seen. I totally recommend Ikuta Toma for a Tokusatsu roll in the near future.

"HOMO JA NAI!!"

also if you haven't noticed, SJ has been updated with a new banner and avatar for myself by Takuya from HJU (thanks man!)my youtube channel has been updated as well.

2008-06-22T17:46:00.000-07:00

So, I recently rented the Wayne's World Films and they were excellent! Watch them to see what I mean,

5/5

Along with that, I rented a 360 and a copy of DMC4. It's easily one of the best games I've ever played. A good story, whity banter, and great graphics. Here's a good example, staring our good friend, Dante... and Agnus

Looks like Dante has lost a few marbles since we last saw him.

DMC4 gets a 4/5.

A few days ago, a couple of toku allums appeared on a talk show (sorry, I don't remember the name of the show). Here's a clip from the show featuring the alter egos of AbareRed, DekaRed, Kamen Rider Blade, Kamen Rider Faiz, Ultraman Max, and Ultraman Dyna.

The years have taken there toll on our heroes, except Dyna.

After waiting a long time to get some stuff up, my sales page has been updated. Go check out! Also my youtube channel should be updated this week. I don't have much more to say but, I think Tak and Koshi do,

2008-06-14T15:35:00.000-07:00

Well since I'm recovering from an All-Nighter, they'll be no Week in Review this week but, I do have a thing or too to say.

Dedede is a Penguin

Uh, not really. As you have already noticed, I have made few changes to SJ. I have add the SJ Jukebox and have updated the template. Also, speaking of updates, my sales thread and youtube channel should be updated soon.

Another thing about the Jukebox, It will be updated every week with music I've found on imeem and with the songs shown in week in review posts. The songs from week in review will be added once the next week in review comes around.

Here's Daybreak's Bell by L'Arc~en~Ciel to send you off, toodles

Hurray, School is Over for the Summer!

2008-06-11T13:35:00.000-07:00

As the title says, I'm out of school and very happy about it. Here's a message to staff of my school from my class (Class of 2012).

*Waves Lighter*

In addition to this recent awesomeness, I have found an awesome cover of "This Love" by Maroon 5 that was recorded by my favorite band (you should know who. Here it is, ROCK ON BROTHERS!

Week In Review - The Final Strech

2008-06-09T12:19:00.000-07:00

Sorry if I've been a little late on my Week in Review but, the time was for all good. I'm desiding to sell some of my old stuff for the money to get a Go-On Black Jacket. Here's my sales thread on HJU,

I'll have the yugioh cards up later today (it was a pain in the butt sorting them out).

In other news, this is last week of school for me (HURRAY!). So yeah, I'm happy. Also, never put yourself in a room with Robert Downey Jr., Ben Stiller, and his nefew, Carl...

jeese...

It was also revealed this week that Will Smith is a Ultraman Fan.

WARNING: THIS IS SO F'ING AWESOME, YOUR HEAD MAY EXPLODE!

I don't have much more to say, so here's a double dose of B'z, peace

Ultra Soul - B'z

Banzai - B'z

Week in Review - I Got Lai-d 6 Times

2008-05-31T14:43:00.000-07:00

So last night was my 8th Grade Class Party so I thought it was going to be fun, oh who wrong was I. There wasn't much to do, my friends almost threw up and got in a fight, so it wasn't that fun. Luaus (Prisons) put on by middle schools suck. Yesterday before going to the class party I found these,

Pics from HLJ.com

These lovely ladies have been definaly added to my wish list. God bless Oda-san!

The other night I saw Indy 4 and it blew Iron Man out of the water (Sorry RDJ). The only negative thing I have to say about it is that George Lucas hasn't gotten star wars of his mind yet. Besides that it's a 5/5! GO SEE IT OR BE SUCKED UP BY ALIENS!

I recently got King of Fighters '94 off the VC and it pretty much kills every other fighting game I've ever played. I hope we get '98,'02, and '03 soon.

Nami: Are you coming or not!?
Robin: We've been waiting for 3 hours!

Ok, ok, ok. I have some "business" to attend to so, here's some music to send ya off, now where were we ladies?

Burn - Fumetsu No Face - B'z

The Saga Begins - "Weird Al" Yankovic

Meanwhile:
"Bow Chicka Wow Wow!"

Week in Review - Risky Business

2008-05-24T07:14:00.000-07:00

As everybody knows, David Cook won Idol this year. A note to the teenyboppers who supported Archie: Don't be so whiny about him losing, that's probally not the last we'll hear from him.

Uh.. yeah. (Make sure to lock that guy out)

As of recently, I have Recived my copies of Shodo and Burn - Fumetsu no Face. I'd recommend by Burn - Fumetsu no Face because most of the songs on it are good, while Shodo is a personal prefrence.

Well, seeing that was a mini review, I just wanted to let you know that new videos should be up on my youtube channel in roughly 2 weeks.

I said I wasn't going to watch go-onger but, I disided to anyways. I'd say that it's a decent series so far but, the plot is kinda not there and the first episode was like a sentai series on speed. Nice desings though (LIVEMAN FOREVER!).

It looks like Toushiki Inoue is doing a great job on Kiva, and I'd have to argee. It's so far pretty good, I really don't see any flaws. My favorite parts of the show are the bits in '86, '08 is good and all but it doesn't have this

And since I'm digging to the way it is, here's a message to Inoue:

DON'T SCREW IT UP!!

So yeah, I'm enjoying my RE:Foray into Tokusatsu, 2008 is looking pretty good. I'm also finshing up gekiranger and watching... KAMEN RAIDAA BLACK!

Nothing beats old school, well maybe Agito but that's another story for another time.

Well since I don't have much more to say, here's music to send you off

Destiny's Play - Tetra Fang

Ai No Bakudan - B'z (Expect to see the duo until I get sick of them)

HOW THE HELL DID HE GET IN HERE!?

Week in Review - I Should Really Get Back into Toku

2008-05-17T08:00:00.000-07:00

Well as of lately, I havn't been watching a lot of Toku. So I'm thinking that I should get back into it, cause Kiva is looking really good and I've only seen up to Ep 2. I'm probaly also not gonna watch Go-Onger (Looks like Boukenger 2 to me). So I'm most like watch Kiva, Black, finish up Gekiranger, and continue watching Liveman. Well enough of that.

Besides that, I'm still bummed out about not going to Acen but, there's always R5 Central's coverage of it (GO MIKE!).

With money I had saved up for Acen I bought,
Dude (Looks Like A Lady)by Aerosmith - From iTunes
Train Kept a Rollin' by Aerosmith - From iTunes
Walk this Way by Aerosmith - From iTunes
Home by B'z - From iTunes
Ultra Soul by B'z - From iTunes
Shodo Single by B'z - From CD Japan
-Burn- Fumetsu no Face Single by B'z - From CD Japan

It's not really that much for this week so, I'm gonna give ya Double dose of Music to send you off, Toodles.

B'z - Shodo

B'z and Aerosmith - Train Kept a Rollin'

ACEN 12 OR BUST

2008-05-15T12:43:00.000-07:00

Well as of yesterday, it has turned out that I'm not going to Acen this weekend. A good way to explain this is "Life got in the way" I'm not gonna explain it anymore, but there's always next year. Also on the bright side, I'm probaly going to Otakon in august.

The Blue Beauty

2008-05-13T12:06:00.000-07:00

Last time I mentioned the Les Paul I was saving up for. Well, here it is.

ROCK ON FOR GREAT JUSTICE!!

Week in Review - Repulse

2008-05-10T08:51:00.000-07:00

Well my review of the movie has allready verified my new fixsation with Iron Man and I bought an action figure (Mark III) with renting the game which wasn't that great. But, I don't feel like ranting about the game so just remember this... don't play any game made by A2M.

Well as of recently, I have taken the Guitar back up. I'm working on a few tabs at the moment, Message in a Bottle and All you need is Love. I'm also saving up for a Les Paul (I demand a Zeronos Custom!). Eventually I want to play some B'z songs.

Like this,

In other news, Acen is a week from today and you can count on seeing me there. I'll probaly be rocking out my Zeronos belt, with a Den-O Shirt on, and a Itachi Headband (the slash through it shows my dislike for naruto). I'm hoping on scoring some autographs and meeting up with my peeps from HJU at the Freaking Suit.

Here's a double dose of Music to send you off, toodles

B'z - GiriGiriChop

Tenacious D - Tribute

Review Double Decker - Iron Man + Abaranger

2008-05-03T08:31:00.000-07:00

Ok, since I haven't much garbly gook to talk about I figured that I would review a few things

Iron Man can be discribed in two words: F'ing Awesome! Why is it F'ing Awesome you ask? Well here's why.

- Casting
The picked the exactly the right cast, come on Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark was a awesome choice. In my opinion, Tony and Robert are one in the same because they both did stupid things then cleaned their acts up after realizing what they were doing. Gwynth Paltrow as Pepper Potts was also a very good choice and I must say gave the franchise a good flag girl. The rest of the cast was awesome and I have no complaints on that.

- Effect
The Special Effects were so well done, you couldn't tell if Iron Man was CG or the Real Suit.

- Story
I'm not going to go into detail on this one but it was very good for estabilishing the character.

- Directing
Although Jon Faveru is a hit and miss director, he sure hit this one out of the ball park.

- The Verdict
The following pretty much sums it up,
5/5

and in the words of Michael Bay it's Awesome!

Bakuryuu Change!

Although I watched this on the HK subs, It was great. Here's why.

Story - Good for the most part but there were some places were it was just to goofy.

Mecha + Costumes - Both very good, very Zyuranger-ish

The Verdict -
A fun way to spend a sunday and a
3/5

Explosions are awesome

I'm gonna leave you with Message in a Bottle by The Police, Toodles

Week in Review - Wake Up!

2008-04-26T08:29:00.000-07:00

Yes, that's right. As of recently I have started to watch Kamen Rider Black and it pretty much kills everything to come after it.

HENSHIN!

On to other news, Keith has just unleashed the Mega-Trailer to Kamen Rider Dragon Knight. From seeing, it's a PR killer to me. Just long as it doesn't get touched by the PR Staff or gets placed in a bad channel or timeslot, it should be fine. Check out Henshin Justice for the trailer.

Recently, I rented Ninja Reflex for the Wii and I just have this to say, DON'T PLAY IT! Why? It has boring minigames (Except the Shuriken Ones) and the stupidest thing of all, meditation mode. Come on, who wants to just sit for 10 minutes, I don't. Don't touch this game, it only dishonors the Ninja.

There is hope

The same weekend I rented Ninja Reflex, I also rented the Simpsons Game. It is one of the funniest games I have ever played. Most of game comprises of satire of the video game indrusty and the media. Finally, a good Simpsons Game... took them long enough.

A few weeks ago, I mentioned DigitalPh33r and I have religiously watched Arby n' the Chief. So I figured that I would share an episode with you,

Well that's pretty much it for this week.

Here's the SJ Update List,

Review - Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger - To be here by Sunday

Review - SP HCM Pro Gundam Exia - To be on youtube soon

Review - Gong Changer U.S. Edition - To be on youtube soon

As of recently, I have found out that I'm going to Acen for sure! I am very exited to be meeting be fellow HJU members and The Power Rangers Actors, so yeah. Talk to you soon... I think.

IT'S STILL ALIVE!!

2008-04-21T12:11:00.000-07:00

I'm happy to say that SJ is still alive and in no threat of deletion. But in other news, I should have some stuff up this week, including my Week in Review and my review of... Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger. See ya soon... I guess...

This Blog may be Deleted

2008-04-16T11:40:00.000-07:00

Since the virus on my computer showed up, my stepdad thinks that it was the fault of this blog, I highly doubt this though. So this blog may be deleted in the near future but, I'll make sure to bring Striking Justice back soon after it's deletion. See ya when SJ returns.

Curse ye Viruses!

2008-04-15T11:41:00.000-07:00

Well as of recently, my computer has been infected by a virus (Damn Hackers) and for the time being I'll be using the computer at my local libary. So yeah, I won't be on the net much for the next month or so. Talk to ya then.

New Blog, Whoo Who!

2008-04-13T07:50:00.000-07:00

Welcome to my new blog, Striking Justice. Well I don't have much up at the moment I should have some up soon.
