Battlefield... Omaha?

So like the video of BF:Hardline leaked? I guess Omaha is the internal development name as they keep referring to it by that! Gotta admit, looks pretty interesting although you can see they use a lot of BF4 assets. :p


Um.. Interesting! :p

Dafuq? Weird figure! From here!



Battlefield : Hardline


Um, Counter-Strike meets Battlefield? I can imagine the robbers getting in tanks and blowing up them coppers! :p Well, it's an interesting turn for the battlefield line... may freshen things up a bit too who knows? Well, there's also a upcoming Star Wars type battlefield game, so remains to be seen which will capture the interest of the crowd! :)

Godzilla 2014

So i just caught the movie, and without and doubt, better than the first movie. The explanation behind godzilla's rationale to 'awaken' is kinda explained, and they also tied in some theories about nuclear testing and such haha.... Hint : it ain't a test!

The movie captured the 'feel' of the lumbering monsters pretty well, he's like a giant bear actually hehe. There's a lot of tense moments and i just realised the movie succeeded in capturing how humongous these creatures are.

I wished there were more monster fighting scenes tho, although its kinda difficult to film 2 hours of monsters fighting. ;p

Overall, not bad, i'd give this movie a 7/10. :)

Star Wars Attack Squadrons Cancelled

Kind old news now, but seriously, looking at the gameplay, it really sucked. Seriously, it needs a proper SIMULATION please.

DAMToys Op Neptune Spear "Geronimo"

Good to see them release a regular figure for this compared to the torn sleeve look of the first one; i prefer the neutral looking HS too. Seems like a deluge of DEVGRU figs recently? Haha!

Transformers X Be@rbrick!

Be@rbrick will always have a special place in my heart (sniff), but it just became too many to collect and too fast.... Oh well. At least they're coming out with THIS! Pretty cool with a clean transformation.

Titanfall Statue

Saw this over at Funan last week, it's huge! Looks pretty impressive in person. It's from the premium edition of the game.


Wolf3D Easter Egg!

Wow, this looks too awesome, may pick up the new Wolfenstein game just for this. :)

\\
More here! :)


Vega! :p

Haha, he does look like Rapunzel! This series is farnie man. :p

Transformers 4 : AOE Full Trailer

Mmm... still not impressed.


1/48 AV-98 Ingram from Patlabor the Movie

Sweet! I like the details on this, hopefully they'll not use rubber for the joint covers like the last time!

 

54km AC ride - Final Part

Cruising along Changi Beach was kinda... at least there was a nice sea view and planes passing overhead. The sucky part came after that where there was a longggg 8-10km stretch of straight road which ran parallel to the runway... so although you do get the see a million takeoff's, the monotony of the road does get to you. And i was starting to cramp by this point!

The end of the long path brought a slight reprieve mentally, as it signalled the beginning of the ECP route.. which was not as straight, but was terribly crowded with park goers/skaters/other cyclists. This again was another long stretch down to Fort road (which has a new connector to the barrage, but is not opened yet) but at least the sights and sounds were better.

To continue from there, you had to go up Fort Road to somewhere near Mountbatten; there's a shortcut through a housing block to the Geylang park connector which i've previously been to, it was about 8 plus by this time, and heck i was hungry and thirsty as hell already. So the ride up to Tanjung Rhu, Marina Barrage and to Gardens by the bay was the last leg (literally i felt) of the 54km trip.

From there, it was to the comfort of the Bayfront MRT and a train ride back to Serangoon MRT. Where i had to unfold and ride back home. Would i do it again? Definately, and perhaps it'd be faster as i now know what paths to take there hehe.

LEGO 2014 Christmas Set

Yes, i know it's 6 months away... but one can dream yes? :) Anyway, a sneak peek from a website, looks better than last year's set! :p

54km AC ride - pt 3!

So from Pasir Ris, you'll come out through the Tampines park connector, and a route which will lead you past downtown east, past there, there's a (killer) uphill climb to the beginning of the Loyang PCN.... Man the air there smells funky.

Thankfully it's a downhill ride most of the way here, past Changi air base and then to Changi village itself. A short distance past this, and you'll be at Changi beach, which is kinda nice!

54km ass-crusher ride - pt 2

The weather was thankfully great, it had rained in the morning, but stopped and was mostly cool and cloudly after 4pm hehe.

So after the detour, i crossed the bridge which takes you over to Pasir Ris Farmway 1, from here you had to go past a couple of fish farms, then hit a shortcut which was a short concrete path next to a canal, this would take you to pasir ris drive 3.

Carrying on, there'll be a shortcut along the api api river (yes there's such a place!) which will take you to pasir ris park, which is pretty nice. And they have horse rides there, really.


54km ass-crusher ride - pt 1

Haha, it kinda hurts to sit now really, thankfully i swapped out the default seats for something more comfy.

I started a half hour later than originally planned at 3.30pm; went to get some juice and food for the ride. Then off i rode, initially i wanted to get to punggol park via hougang, then i realised there was a amk-buangkok park connector that led there, so after getting there via tavistock park and a shortcut through serangoon north, i cycled across to punggol park which took about 30mins.

Had already went to the punggol pcn before, so i knew i had to cross the lor halus bridge to get there. Buy i took a short detour to glance at my ex outfield excercise area outside punggol barat, opposite 'coney' island ( ah, fond memories there) my god, they totally changed the place!

Godzilla 2014

Hell, looks cooler than the last American movie outing, even though he's a bit more plump. Heck, i'm more excited about this than the next Transformers movie!

Who you gonna call?

Looks like the LEGO Ghostbusters set is released! It's not as detailed as the original submission, and some of the original minifigs look better, but hey, it's a Ghostbusters set released finally! :p

May the Fourth be with you!

How did this start out haha! Well, good excuse to sell star wars goodies and have sw themed parties worldwide! I think there's some local event down at one of the libraries too. :p

Call of Duty : Advanced Warfare

What next? Geriatric Warfare? I miss how it started out as a WWII shooter. Man, someone should do one now. :p Well, it does have Kevin Spacey.

Dinotrip! :)

Brought the kiddies out to the ArtScience museum at MBS to see the "Dinosaurs - Dawn to Extinction" show there. Not too bad, it's more detailed than the Science Centre one, with pretty interesting displays!

FRINGE 1/6 Figures!

No way! DiD displayed some FRINGE figures during their show, not sure if these are one-off, or will be production... unexpected!


Arcadia 1/60 VF-0D

Looking good! But it's a 2015 release though haha! :p


Star Wars Black Series - 6" Stormtrooper

Got this guy recently, not too bad, pretty much same articulation as the other figs, thankfully no sticky joints! Still too expensive, although the detail is nice.

Off to ride! Pt2

Wow, turned out to be a pretty nice ride, from old airport road riding along the canal passing Tanjong Rhu then under the Benjamin Sheares bridge, after which is a long stretch along the Marina golf course. 

Next comes the ride across the Marina Barrage to Gardens by the Bay.... Awesome.




Off to ride!

Going on a short night cruise from the Geylang Park Connector to the Marina golf course.... Should be interesting! ;) got on the train without much fuss thank goodness.
