Sonic Generations 1st Impressions

The sonic series, in general is one I grew up with and was one of the games I played as a child. It was a series that grew up with me through my childhood. I admit, my exposure to the Second generation stuff with Sonic with Green Eyes is limited. But that did not stop me from playing Sonic Generations.

Act one of each stage, brings back the feelings I got when I first picked up a Genesis Controller at my Cousin's house and played Sonic for the very first time. They gave sonic the Spin dash (A power that stayed with him starting with Sonic 2). Which is cool. And there is the skills in which you can buy and upgrade the fastest thing alive. Playing as Classic Sonic is a trip down memory lane and I love every second of it.

At first when I played Modern Sonic, I was overwhelmed with how much more complex the controls and the game style was. From the speed boost which can be upgraded later in the game. To the Light speed dash, switching from 3d to 2d is a bit odd to get adjusted to if you haven't dealt with the transition of 3 to 2d in other games.

Overall, I find this game highly enjoyable, the soundtrack is unbelievable and the story of how both worlds seemed to collide is very well done. Go out and buy this game, you have lots of fun with it.

Long time away from the blog.

While I know that my frequency in writing has dropped significantly. I feel it is my duty to you my readers that I give you an explanation as to what is going on.

When I decided I was going to take my job here at the blog more seriously I was still unemployed and seeking stable job. the month after I started pumping out post after post. I took a job at Home Depot. This didn't effect me at first, but slowly but surely my work schedule took over my blog and podcast schedule. I work and I go to school so when I am not at work I am usually in my books studying. The little time I do get to come here I spend it just checking emails and reading news articles.

I will however be taking next semester off because I need more money so I can get a better car. SO my post frequency shall pick up again come winter time and spring and summer.

AVENGERS ASSEMB.......HEY ED YOU COMING

For the past few years, Marvel Studios have been teasing us with secret ending clips in each of their movies which ultimately lead up to an Avengers Movie. Confirmed to the Cast we have.

Steve Rodgers/Captain America: Chris Evans
Thor: Chris Hemsworth
Tony Stark/Iron Man: Robert Downey Jr.
Bruce Banner/The Hulk: Mark Ruffalo(recasted to replace Ed Norton) Hulk Voice: Lou Ferrigno
Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow: Scarlett Johansson
Clint Barton/Hawkeye: Jeremy Renner
Nick Fury: Samuel L. Jackson

Villain
Loki: Tom Hiddleston
The Frost Giants

This movie has been in the works for as long if not longer then Star Wars: The Old Republic (MMORGP)So my expectations for this movie are rather high. I am not pleased with the fact that Ed Norton isn't reprising the Bruce Banner role. While I'm not sure how Mark Ruffalo will fair because he has big shoes to fill. Ed Norton played the Banner role so well but it is his choice to not be part of something AMAZING. I do however hope that Loki pulls what he did in Hulk Vs Thor oh to see the Chaos of The Hulk unchained because Banner was pulled from him oh it would be amazing to see on the big screen.

If marvel studios pulls this off into something amazing. I hope they decide to bring Marvel Civil War to the big screen. Oh the fun that will create.

Rough Work in Progress (The first draft of the new opening to my script)

Prolog
Setting, night time in Brooklyn, a group of girls are walking the streets each carrying an identical hardcover book. The girls are laughing and giggling about something to do with a guy. A voice over begins while the camera continues to follow the girls but this time from behind and about thirty paces back.

Voice: This is the third night in a row that I have followed a group of female kine just like these. Each night they carry the same ridiculous novel published by a ghoul of a demented Malkavian. A book that thinly gives a peek into the world of vampires, something I am sure the Camarilla are none to thrilled about. But do they punish this miscreant Lunatic no; they chalk it up as a prank. To think a vampire falling in love, our hearts stop beating the moment The Embrace starts. Sparkling daywalkers if such a thing ever existed Kane would be rolling over in his unfound grave.

One of the girls breaks off from the group after waving goodbye to her friends. Brunette with blue eyes wearing a Team Edward T-shirt smiles and hugs her book to her chest.

Voice: Finally my chance, has come, she will be added to the collectio. But first a slight change

Turning just after the girl broke off once she is a good distance down the second street he makes his presence known. Turning around the girls face goes from horrified to absolutely delighted.

Girl: Oh my god. Please tell me I am not dreaming

The back of the man’s head is all that we can see as he shakes his head to confirm she is not dreaming.

Girl: Oh my god oh my god oh my god, I absolutely love you. Can I take my picture with you and make it look like you are turning me into a vampire.

The man nods in acceptance and waits for her to come closer for him to embrace her like he was going to bite her neck. His smile turns into grin of delight as he sinks his teeth into his victim’s jugular just as the picture was snapped. To shocked to scream, the girl gasps for air as the life is drained from her body. The phone falls lifeless from her hand as the camera follows its descent to the ground. When it lands the picture is clear, the girls face smiling into the camera, but her murderer is a blur. The scene fades out

Music begins to play as the opening credits role

Surprising Movie Moments of the summer

Okay, so now that the movie summer season is over. This my look back at the good the bad and the shocking.

A list that comes from my own impressions and opinions so by all means tell me I'm an idiot.

1. Transformers Dark of the Moon Sucked major donkey testicles. You may as well called it Shea LeBouf beats on cars, and humans do most of the dirty work and oh look Lenard Nemoy.

2. Green Lantern could have been better, hopefully the sequel is better or just fucking reboot it. This way Ryan Reynolds can do what he is suppose to do. BE DEADPOOL

3. Chris Evans as Captain America was much better then I thought it would be. Being enthralled in the story, I forgot he had once been the Human Torch.

4. Thor was fucking badass.

5. The Deathly Hallows Part 2 blew my expectations away despite the slight changes to the narrative.

The most touching moments of Final Fantasy

This is a short list for me. Because I have only played a few Final Fantasy games. Final Fantasy (3,4,6,7,8,9,10,12,13 and Tactics) This list my opinion if you don't like go fornicate yourself with a rusty pipe.

This list is only 5 places long so don't expect much

5. Serah Becomes a Crystal from Final Fantasy XIII. It is touching because at the very beginning of the story we are introduced to the fact that no matter what they do their course is predestined to become either a crystal or a monster.

4. Garnet and Enio Summoning Alexander In Castle Alexandria from Final Fantasy IX. A touching moment and gives you the impression that Enio and Garnet may or may not be sisters or at least half sisters.

3. The Opera Scene from Final Fantasy VI. While not as tear jerking as say the death of Aeris from Final Fantasy VII, the lead up to it is amazing and all the events after just solidify the moment as one of Final Fantasy's most touching moments.

2. Parom and Palom becoming stone to save the party in Final Fantasy IV. A scene that can Rival Aerith's death from VII because it gives you the emotion that holy fuck two of my characters just bit the dust. While only with you a short time the pair grow on you and become this emotional support to an already beautifully crafted story with characters you can easily invest yourself in. Here watch, this clip comes from the Nintendo DS remake of the Final Fantasy IV.



1. Aerith's Death, Final Fantasy VII. This scene alone had gamers young and old weeping. You spent hours upon hours days upon days (depending on how meticulously you spent level grinding and getting everything you can on the first disc) building this character up, you see the love between Aerith and Cloud blossom from small to genuine love. Then Death from above. The spark that lights the fire in the soul of the heroes to make you want the bad guy to pay with his life for destroying Aerith.



I hope you have enjoyed this list. Please feel free to comment and tell me which moments you thought were touching and impactful in the Final Fantasy Series.

The iEnd? MUWHAHAHAHA....I mean

Today Steve Jobs one of the founders of Apple has stepped down as CEO due to Health issues and not being pushed out by Stockholders. With Steve resigning and the seat of power being given to Apple's one time COO (Chief Operating Officer) Tim Cook. To me PC lover internally I am going WOOOO YEAH THE TITAN HAS BEEN SENT TO TARDURIS (The Underworld of the Underworld and The Prison of Chronos and his many pieces). But I must tip my hat to Mr. Jobs because if it wasn't for him Microsoft wouldn't have pushed itself to compete as long and hard as it has to give us. While I HATE the ifails I mean iPods (in all of it's MANY incarnations) I do recognize that it is a powerhouse among MP3/4 players. Mr. Jobs thank you for your contribution to Technology enhancement and god speed on your road to recovery with your Health.
