Soldier Story FAMCOM 2013 Exclusive

Well, this is going to eventually be a regular release, but the price was hard to pass up! It's going for crazy prices, plus it's not easy to get for now. :)

Again, this is based off a US SF Operator, don't have details on what unit he belongs too, but that's ok. I love their special ed packaging, still less bulky than their reguar releases.

There's actually two releases of this guy, with the main difference being the jacket( either camo or tan, so it's all up to personal preference! (The camo version is a  Hobby Expo China Exclusive) Also, the HS is based off Gerard Butler as with all their releases.

STGCC Day 1

Woke up early today ( for a weekend anyway ) to head down to MBS for the convention, queue to go in was crazy, but managed to bump into a buddy who sneaked me in hehe.

The place seemed... Bigger.. This year, but didn't matter once the crowd came in! So everyone was squeezing and trying to get some shots of IRON MAN WHO WAS EVERYWHERE! Although gotta admit, the play imaginative displays were kinda cool.

Well, not easy to snap a few pics when you lugging your bags and a coupla toys! Anyway, the limited ed iron man was sold out again as usual, apparently queue started the day before hahaha, and apparently some ppl were paid to stand in line... Nothing new! You could see some ppl with upwards of 10 of these midas armors.. Sheesh.

TGIF!

Woohoo! It's Friday! Hard to believe August has come and gone so fast... tomorrow is Day 1 of STGCC.... Wootz! Here's a random cool video to celebrate the coming weekend!

C&H - So True

Just had to post this... it's so true, what is the measure of a man's worth in this day and age? Time to rethink priorities in life! :) * Blogger doesn't seem to scale the pic correctly, you can check the full comic strip here!

TMNT : Out of the Shadows

Turtle Power! This looks kinda interesting! Reminds me of the old 4-way TMNT arcade cabinet 2D sidescroller we used to play after school at this old arcade at USSC (along with Captain Commando and WRESTLEMANIAAAAAA!). I wanna play as Leonardo! Available on Steam too!

Gone Home

Tried out this new game called 'Gone Home', basic premise is that the player returns home after a few years away, only to find the home empty, with a note on the door from the player's sister.

I initially thought it would be a horror/suspense type of game, but turns out to the anything but. The house itself is pretty well realised; the requirements seem pretty high, as the framerate isn't too good even when the textures look splotchy in places. And here i have a rig which is supposed to run bf3 at ultra and it can't render the interior of the house sheesh. Poor engine?

Anyway, graphics aside, the audio is pretty good too, there is the constant patter of rainfall in the background and occasional bouts of lightning and thunder, so creeping around the house has that added edge to it.... I tell ya, if they placed something to scare you suddenly, i would have fallen out of my seat!

The game itself consists of finding certain items to solve a few basic puzzles and advance the story, which i guess is pretty interesting. Bad thing is, once you've found out what happened... The game ends... Whua? I took at most an hour and a half to 2 hours for this game...

Anyway, worth a try, but definately not something you'd replay unless you like traipsing around creepy mansions!

These aren't the droids you're looking for...

Picked these up, though i don't really intend to collect most of the black series. Pretty good detail! Now to find time to open it...
