More(or less) than meets the eye

What can I say? I'm a late bloomer. I have just now watched Transformers. Let me also say that the only thing I remember about Transformers form my childhood is my 10 pound Optimus Prime figure that was made from real metal and, if dropped in the right manner, could cleanly severe a toe. Ah, the good old days, when a toy was allowed to be dangerous.

Anyway, the movie was ok. The fan service was present and I loved it when the OP nailed the 'more than meets the eye' catchphrase. What I didn't like about this movie is that it seemed so disjointed. It seemed like it was more randomly placed footage mixed in with an over-abundance of extremely hard-to-follow action scenes. There is just so much CG moving at once, that it all looks like Megatron brushing his teeth with a bag of puppies. Pseudo-Fail in my book. I know I will catch hell for this, but I just really couldn't get into it.

A bag of puppies.

What's in YOUR box?

Merry Christmas to all, and to all some yellow spandex tights!

Merry X-Mas, bub!

Cheery wishes and all that jazz. I hope Santa brought you everything on your comic wishlist, and if you don't like comics, I hope you get nothing. Happy holidays, folks!

MvC3: The Fate of Too Much Hype

Marvel VS Capcom 3 is on it's way to our next gens in february this coming year, and it looks as though there will be no more mystery once we have it in our hands. By 'we' I mean, of course, everyone except myself, who has yet to purchase a PS3 or XB360. By 'mystery' I mean, all of the hype and game footage and character reveals up until now have pretty much spoiled all mystery the game has to hold. Yes, there are DLC characters, but we won't be playing through every standard fighter trying to see their exciting hyper combos. We've pretty much seen everything this game has to offer, and none of us have played it yet. I have to get back to work, but let me leave you with an old, but pretty cool trailer.

At about 1:05, the Cap gives us a great cutscene of helicopter blocking mayhem. If the Marvel movies would be this cool, I'd be more excited about them too, but that's another show.

Lethal Legion for the win!

A friend of mine gave me Super Hero Squad for my DS this Christmas. It's cute. This same friend gave me the Marvel Trading Card game for Christmas last year. I played the crap out of that game and still play it between Castlevania marathons. I'd like this to become a theme. Getting Marvel games every year. Please note.
