Super Street Fighter IV - New Fighters Trailer Part 2

This single video just made my day. When Capcom officially announced that Cody, Guy, and Adon will be joining the new cast of SSFIV alongside T. Hawk, Dee Jay, and Juri, I was really excited for this game.

And now Capcom has released a new trailer featuring some Guy, Cody, and Adon action! I'm really hyped up for this! Guy and Adon looks badass!

Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths Trailer

DC has been continuously releasing new animated films lately. Just this year, they've released three direct-to-DVD animated films - Wonder Woman, Green Lantern: First Flight, and Superman/Batman: Public Enemies. In my opinion, they're all much better than the ones from Marvel.

As if that wasn't enough, they showed a new trailer for their upcoming animated film, Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths. This takes on the "Crisis" canon depicting parallel worlds in the DC Universe and putting it to film. For this film, the Crime Syndicate and the Justice League duke it out.

Lazy Sunday #34: Revisions

It's been a while since I last wrote an entry to Lazy Sunday. Good thing I remembered this time and got my lazy ass to write this. As you may have already know, we passed our thesis. But still with some revisions. However, that's not stopping us from doing our best.

So here I am just bumming around the best way I can. There's basically nothing to do (besides thesis) but read comic books, buy a new toy, play Street Fighter IV, read comics books, and play more Street Fighter IV. Recently, I found the time to draw another sketch of a superhero. And it felt so good and probably will draw a new sketch. I'll post on my deviantART once I finish scanning it.

Anyway that's it for now. Not much has happened these last few weeks. Just thesis and thesis.

Green Lantern Corps #42

Note: Contains some spoilers.

Green Lantern Corps #42 was released last week and that really was a shocker issue for me. A lot of things happened in that issue, and I mean a LOT. However, one particular scene in that issue really caught me off guard. It was totally unexpected for me that that was the reason Guy Gardner turns into a Red Lantern. I wasn't able to read the solicits for that particular issue but I doubt DC would put it there.

It seems the pacing of events in this Green Lantern Corps issue went slow then finally accelerated in the end. Peter Tomasi crams in several things in the book. But when you put in a lot of content in a 22-page comic book, you're sure to get something disappointing in return.

The book contains a lot of action and fights. In fact, the whole book is just full of fighting - undead children with their undead parents trying to kill Green Lanterns mixed in with a Red Lantern killing all those undead Lanterns.

Conditional Pass

After weeks of stress due to our beloved thesis, add to that the tender loving care we received from our adviser, who didn't believe in us after doing our best, who kept on nagging even though we keep doing our job, we have finally got a verdict from our defense yesterday. And the result was - a conditional pass! What a relief.

But the fun doesn't stop there, we still have lots of revisions to do to completely pass. The panelists gave us a LOT of MAJOR, MAJOR revisions to be met by the given deadline. Talk about torture. But still it's a pass so that one pain in the ass taken out.

Lazy Sunday #33: Undas

Time flies by so fast these days huh. The month of November has already started and I didn't even notice it! Well since it's November 1, people go to cemeteries to visit their loved ones who passed away. Since I couldn't go to my province because of thesis, I just stayed here and went to the columbarium (a place where urns are kept; like a cemetery for urns). And I just learned that word earlier!

Lazy Sunday #32: Back to the Arcades

Note: I already got this done last Sunday but I forgot to publish it. Silly me.

I can still remember when I started playing fighting games competitively in the arcades. It was during the times of Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection then it continued until the release of Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion. I stopped playing because Tekken 6 was a disappointment for me so I quit. It's not as exciting as T5:DR.

When I stopped, I moved on to continue my other hobby: collecting collectibles (I find that funny).
