Monday Blues... and HOMEWORLD!

Ahh, there are definitely better things to do on a Monday morning.. least of which is go to work! Life is short enough as it is, why waste the time! Alas, the way the world works means most of us are slaved to our jobs....

Anyway, on the better news! Homeworld is getting a HD Re-release on Steam! Well, there ARE mods which already do this, but still, better than nothing! At least Gearbox is doing something with the license.

Ace Combat Infinity

Do I see a glimmer of hope? A slight chance that Namco might actually put out a good game this time? Will they still use the stupid system from Assault Horizon? Only time will tell! In the meantime... enjoy!

Too awesome! :)

SDCC 2013! +Robocop!

Wow, another year has come and gone? Still remember drooling over the upcoming releases back then.... and it also means STGCC is around the corner! Cos Hot Toys will bring their same items back from SDCC to display at STGCC!

Anyway, here's the new ED-209 from the upcoming Robocop reboot.... looks nice... but too generic already, doesn't have the character of the classic ED.

LEGO Winter Village Market

Uh, yeah it's a bit early, but LEGO has revealed their next set in the Winter Village line! It's the Winter Market this time round! Most of the previous sets have had some house or another, so this set seems.... a bit lacking in this respect.

Have I mentioned before how I find LEGO sets getting teenier and teenier? Not the mention this set still costs US$99! The variety IS nice though!

Monday monday!

Aaaand another week begins! Rainy here, cold last night, so the kiddies mostly slept through! :) Well, here's a pic to start the week! :p

 

Best served cold! :D

Pacific Rim

What can i say? Finally a robot/monster movie done right! Thankfully the movie doesn't come off as cheesy or anything like that; a lot of big robot movies don't seem to make the transition to the big screen too well... Robo jox comes to mind somehow!

 

You can say this show is heavily influenced by anime like Evangelion, and shows like ultraman and godzilla... Heck, was expecting ultraman to appear in some scenes! The human development seems a bit rushed in some parts, and the actors characters seem rather flat.... But we're here to see the robots right? And they don't dissapoint; the fight scences are pretty breathtaking and well choreographed, they move with a certain heft, so their scale and sizes look and feel believable on the big screen.

The storyline is servicable; which movie hasn't used the 'end of the world unless we stop the invasion' trope? Overall, an entertaining movie with pretty good pacing, definately worth a watch.... Oh, stay for the extra ending! ;)
