Hell I'm an avid "THERE ARE SO MANY DAMN SHOOTERS" kind of gamer and am INCREDIBLY harsh on my judgment of shooters.... that won't stop me from trying one out and weighing it out.

Hence how I came to love COD4 despite its "I hate snipers" position. Bastards.

Pretty please?

He is romantically involved with Storm after all.

I'll leave it at that and go back to kicking ass with Strider Hiryu, Akuma, and Hayato in MvC2.

I'm all for piss-tasting American brews to vanish.

Yes I agree. However Manga is a relatively new medium to the States. While the percentage of American comic IS crap and the same regurgitated material with a twist, the remaining percentage of quality is MUCH larger than the percentage of quality Manga. That larger percentage allows for the quality works to have an enhanced survivability through exposure and eventually longevity.

I also think the remakes are a great way to expose the newer generation of gamers to the classics MY generation grew up with and loved.

I just hope the FFVI remake comes to us soon.

The reason for it is simple. A lot of the same themes, character designs, and storylines are rehashed over and over again. Very rarely does a true gem combine all those three elements in a fresh and attractive fashion. ( Check out Souleater if you're looking for a good anime. One of the newer anime I have enjoyed. )

I think the subject matter also has to be scaled for an older audience. By this I don't mean cut the cute crap and add in gallons of blood and action. Keep the storylines rich in drama, intrigue, and conflict. Realism helps as well. Yes I know realism and manga/anime don't really go hand in hand especially considering the saturation of fantasy/scifi elements. Still, realism helps enrich certain themes and characters. Giving characters realistic vulnerabilities humanizes them,making them easier to relate to.

It's a medium that really needs a fresh outlook.

(I still purchase a read comics. Just Manga is so repetitively predictable and diluted in the same subject matter.)

Brand New - Sowing Season

I'm often cautious of recommended music.. but this one hit it out of the park.

Very interesting lore premise.

I am very very very bothered by this decreasing Japanese population and as a concerned individual.. will do whatever I can to help. So make sure to tell all the attractive Japanese ladies that there's a handsome hispanic gamer willing to make babies left and right.

Do let me know if you find any ladies that are interested.

FIN FANG FOOM! I never thought I'd see the day.

Nemesis Prime's paint job alone makes it worthwhile to own.

The only thing that would make this game perfect.. put Terra in there and make her go all SuperSayi-... I mean ESPER... and show all the men how it's really done.

Where does Cloud show up as the Squenix god that he is and woop everyone's ass?

Notice the trend here?

It's NOT just a game. It's a reflection of the human machination. Turn-based but accurate as proven by history.

Brood War ended with the revelation that Zerg-protoss hybrids were in incubation. This might have been the plan all along as her willing cooperation with the Protoss to eliminate the rogue hive minds might have served as an excellent diversion from the production of these units.

Power Stone

Finally tie in the original Mega Man with Mega Man X.

I am a huge fan of the Heisei era Godzilla. That being the Goji incarnation from Godzilla 1995 through Godzilla vs Destroyah.

This era portrayed Godzill as a behemoth compared to other eras. Much more sluggish in nature (respectively due to his huge size) but all the more physically powerful. Ibelieve this portrayal was the best interpretation of Godzilla as a rampant force of nature gone wrong.

After Godzilla 2000, the kaiju king takes a much slimmer and athletic approach. Even in Final Wars you see this figure at play. Jumping, running, flipping. All things a ninja or power ranger could do... but not a behemoth creature of destruction.

This Godzilla seemed slimmer but at the same time much slower. His animalistic qualities (such as the head shake no doubt due to the high amounts of dust and debris he was wading through) add a realism that I quite enjoy in a Godzilla film. Yes I know Godzilla and realism cant really go hand in hand without a few chuckles but it does make the illusion much more enjoyable.

Or a new Strider game.
