STREET FIGHTER FOUR!!!!!

There they are... all the characters in Street Fighter 4.  I can't wait!  Its almost here!  I pre-ordered my Collector's Edition, and I even ordered one fo the new Madcatz brand Street Fighter Game pads.. basically, imagine the 360 controller.. take away the two analog sticks, and move the trigger buttons to the face of the controller.  So basically, a 6 button controller.  And replace the awful D-pad on the 360, with a much much better one... and you have a controller perfect for Street Fighter 4 (also great for Street Fighter Turbo HD Remix) Actually, heres a picture...(yup, its got Chun Li on it.  I think they make Ryu, Ken, and Akuma ones too.)

And in related news.. in case you haven't seen it... here's the trailer for Street Fighter : The Legend of Chun Li... I am required to go see it. (since its a Chun-Li movie) but man.. I don't want to.   You know... for a movie called "The Legend of Chun Li" this trailer shows surprisingly little footage of Chun Li.. what does that tell you?

Interesting...

New Movie Poster for Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li

via 1UP NEWS RSS feed by Kyle Stallock on 10/15/08

There's been so little word on Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li that many have probably been wondering if it became another victim of development hell. Based on the track-record of game-to-film adaptations, especially of the last live-action Street Fighter movie, the same people were probably hoping that was the case.

Now, according to a report from First Showing, the Japanese website for the film has just launched and a poster for the movie has been released with it.

As always, I'll save my ultimate judgment until I actually see the film, but right now my hopes aren't very high. Please, Kristin Kreuk, prove me wrong.

Star Wars : The Clone Wars

Some people are excited about this, and some are not. I fall into the category of "excited".. I being a Star Wars fan of course.. am a little biased... This is an old post of mine on my old Star Wars Blog.. but it still holds true for my feelings regarding Star Wars.

This piece, taken from io9.com, will maybe help you others who are "on the fence" also fall into the "excited" category:

Of course you're nervous about the new Star Wars: Clone Wars movie, and the 100-episode Clone Wars TV series that will begin airing on Cartoon Network this fall. Maybe you feel a little burned by episodes I-III, or the idea of an animated series gives you burning visions of Jar Jar. But have no fear, young Padawans. We've carefully weighed all the evidence, watched all the clips, and studied the Clone Wars back story carefully by combing through the comic books and "expanded universe" novels. And we bring good news. Clone Wars is going to be awesome — here are ten reasons why.

1. Dooku vs. Palpatine
In the movies, the Sithy Separatist leader Count Dooku is in league with Palpatine (Darth Sidious), and there are very few hints that he's much more than a very competent henchman. But in fact, he has his own agenda and has a whole future planned for the Separatists, a group that includes most of the galaxy's free traders and techie types. Clone Wars will focus on how Dooku's Separatists push for their agenda against Palpatine's power-grabbing imperialists. I like the idea of free traders vs. fascists. It's an interesting clash, with our Jedi heroes right in the middle.

2. Female ninjas
No offense to Leia and Padme, but on the scale of princess to ninja they were pretty far to the princess end of things. In Clone Wars, we're going to get some seriously kickass female ninjas mixing it up with the Jedi Knights. Anakin's padawan Ahsoka is fearless and strong, and Obi Wan Kenobi will meet his nemesis, the powerful assassin Asajj Ventress.

3. Clone rights
At the heart of this series will be a biology vs. technology theme, with the Jedi-led clone army fighting the Separatist-led droid armies. Will biotech soldiers prove better than techtech ones? More important, though, is that we'll watch as the clones begin to overcome their programming and become individuals. Will there be clone rights? Clone romance? These are the kinds of weird questions that make me excited about this series.

4. Clone Wars is new-school YA fiction
Perhaps influenced by a new generation of YA fiction with more adult themes, Clone Wars will be aimed at young people but will shed the kiddie comic relief of the Star Wars movies. Instead of identifying with Jar Jar or C3P0, kids watching Clone Wars can put themselves in the boots of the brave, wisecracking Ahsoka.

5. The Jedi come in shades of grey
We've seen a few Jedi in the movies, and we know they can be either good Knights or evil Sith. But we haven't seen the full range of Jedi powers (many Jedi have unique powers that go beyond telekinesis), nor have we seen them when they stop being polite and start going badass on the battlefield. I'm excited to find out about Luminara's powers, and what Kit Fisto can do with all those tentacles. The point is, it's not just Sith vs. Jedi — it's the many shades of Jedi.

6. War dramas are instant win
While every episode of the Star Wars movies has dealt with a decisive battle or coup, none of the movies could be classified as a "war film" proper. They are epics, character studies, political melodramas, and space operas — but none has focused on the lives of soldiers and officers waging a several-year campaign. It's about time we learned about the lives of grunts in the army of the Republic, and got some good soldier banter going.

7. More droids
The Separatist forces are packed with trade associations and tech guilds, so they have the latest droids with all the most up-to-date service packs installed. Expect serious coolness in the droid department: Those rolling shielded guys from Attack of the Clones are just the beginning. The fact that the series is animated will only add to the awesomeness of these droids, who look best in a stylized, CGI environment anyway.

8. Dooku backstory
He was once a Jedi, and he semi-trained his assassin Ventress in the ways of the Dark Side even though she was never Jedi material. What other weirdness lurks in Dooku's past? Why did he turn to the Dark Side? Why did he start the Separatist rebellion in the first place? We've got 100 episodes to find out.

9. Anakin as ironic hero
Knowing what we do about how Anakin turns out, it's a strange and intriguing irony that he's going to be our hero in this series. Even as we see him being a good mentor to a sympathetic young woman (Ahsoka), we know he has a dark side — and we know that he's lying to the Jedi every day since his secret marriage to Padme. Anakin has acquired a lot of creepy depth during the Star Wars series, and the Clone Wars were probably the time in his life when he could have turned it all around and told the Dark Side to stick it. And yet we know he won't: That each act of kindness and bravery is going to go sour one day soon. That makes for a pretty dark war tale, and I'm down with it.

10. Second-generation Star Wars sensibility
Filoni and Winder have both been associated with contemporary game-changing animated series: Filoni with Avatar and Winder with Powerpuff Girls. If they can successfully infuse the sweep of the Star Wars universe with a contemporary burst of anime sensibility and good humor, Star Wars will reach a new generation. And reawaken the first generation's love for a franchise that once felt like the most amazing new thing any of us had ever seen.

Another WoW movie.. and other MMO news..

So... IF THIS RUMOR turns out to be true... I will no longer have to decide what the next MMO I play will be... it will be this one. LOTRO and WAR be damned!

I may have to go buy a cheap copy of the StarCraft: Battlechest and play through it again...just in case...

Good Weekend, Bad News

So, I had a very great weekend. Got together with some good friends, stayed up way late viewing the wonders of my friend Mike's new Home Theatre. It was truly a wondrous site... he spent the past 3 years of his life building it, and it was awe-inspiring. It was better than viewing a movie in a theatre.. way better. Also played some Warmachine/Hordes Friday night and Sunday. Very cool battles, I got to try out several of the new models I had been wanting to use, and as always, it was a blast. But more importantly, we started our iron Kingdoms campaign finally! The adventure went very well, the players got really into their characters, and the story ran for, oh, about 10 hours. =D Haven't had that much fun in a long time.

Then I get home... and my sister springs some new on me that literally left me shaken.. she says they are moving back home to western PA... as of June 15th.. which leaves me with nowhere to live, no transportation... and no where near enough money to get an apartment.. literally, it leaves me nowhere. She had automatically assumed that I would quit my job, and move back with them.. which isn't gonna happen. I finally have a job that I really like, working for some great people, I love the area, it's near a good friend... and I do not want to start over... again. So, I have no idea what the hell I am gonna do... probably get an apartment, hopefully within a reasonable walking distance to work, and be right back where I was before I left Ohio... so a great weekend turned into a massive amount of stress... of course the family here is all happy, and excited to be moving back to their house and home...and now I am a complete wreck...

Power Cosmic... hopefully...

Now, I am no comic book expert... I am usually pretty select in what comics I read, and frankly... most superhero comics don't interest me. But, I have always had a special place in my heart for Silver Surfer. Why? dunno.. he is just cool. When I heard he was getting the big blockbuster movie treatment by becoming the "villain" in the next Fantastic Four movie.. I was worried. And to be completely honest... I am still worried. Here is the newest trailer for Fantastic Four 2:Rise of the Silver Surfer.



My biggest problem... why didn't he just turn around and obliterate the Human Torch with the Power Cosmic? =D

Spiderman #3

I must say... I don't know how they do it.. but Spiderman seems to be avoiding the jinx that many comic book movies usually fall too... they get too ambitious and spend all of their money on crazy effects and big name stars and lose sight of what the story is all about. Spiderman seems to be doing the opposite, it keeps the focus on the humans, which is what makes it a grand story.. while still capturing that blockbuster feel that movies need nowadays... Seen the new trailer yet??
Go here now, download the nice big video of it and watch it!! Or watch on YouTube below...

I was worried at first that they are throwing in too many villains, and thought that maybe they were forgetting about Harry Osbourne.. but I was wrong. I need to learn to have faith...I can kinda see where the story may go.. Sandman shows up, and turns out to be too much for Spidey, Hobgoblin shows up, too much for Spidey, so whats a superhero to do? Take the aid of an evil alien symbiote..thats what!

Here's hoping they don't ruin The Silver Surfer (in Fantastic Four 2), and lets hope the reincarnation of Batman holds true as well when The Dark Knight premeires...
