District 9 Neil Blompkamp

So with SDCC 2009 this weekend I saw many things that made me piss myself. I'm a huge geek and who doesn't the combination of comics, games, movies and booth babes. G4 has decent (and the only coverage). Although they ruined the Star Wars panel in my opinion otherwise it's pretty good. I'm most excited about movies from this Comic-Con and toys if I could get my hands on some of them.

So here is the run down thanks to Youtube!

Halo Legends Trailer!!

Video Games | Halo Legends | Exclusive Debut Trailer

XBox 360 | Playstation 3 | Nintendo Wii

This trailer gets me pretty excited I don't really care what people are saying about it being anime etc. I'm down can't wait to get a peek at more.

Halo Anime I'm In!!

Today Microsoft announced the release of Halo Legends which I assume will be similar to the Animatrix collection and set to release in early 2010. Available on DVD and through Xbox Live in a new section of Live called Halo Waypoint. Frank O'Connor formally of Bungie will be the director pretty cool news I hope they do as good of a job as the Animatrix guys did. The Appleseed director is involved so maybe we'll get a dose of the sweet CG he took part in that series. Pictures via Teamxbox.com

Picked up Helljumper and Gears #9 with the Jim Lee cover pretty sweet I'll tear through them shortly.




Picked up this little guy too. Who doesn't love Avery Johnson! Suck it up Marine!

Ninja Movie Alert!

Wow I didn't even know this existed



This looks like it might have decent martial arts action, cheesy one liners and the typical angry cop who probably ends up helping the Ninja at the end. Oh yeah and the token helpless girl who needs to be rescued. It's full of the usual and it looks like I would pay to see it. It will have to tide us over till the badass Ninja Assassin comes out.

Zelda Update Jump Into Hell Today

So I attempted to start Wind Waker the other day and made it about 30min in before I jumped off. I was supposed to finish more I know but I keep getting attempting to play Halo 3 and I'm having fun for a few minutes before some 10yr old douche ruins it. I started playing action sack because of the varied game types and maps. Today I got booted from two games in a row because some genius walked in front of my laser and got hit. So I'm done trying to play it. I have a lot of thought going into a opinion post about Live and PSN so I'll do that later this week or something. I have a lot of work this week so not much time. Ahh yeah and I somehow missed the release of Halo: Helljumpers came out today from Marvel. The drawings look better and from the preview at IGN the writing and art already look better so go pick it up asap it will sell out just as uprising did on the first issue. Hurry!!

Zelda Wind Waker Rewind Replay

So today while working away at my boring job selling parts I thought of something to do. I never finished Wind Waker or Twilight Princess so I'm going to restart both Wind Waker first and replay to completion and blog along the way. Hopefully it will be a good experiment and get me writing more here. Maybe I will drum up someone who will actually post here too! So tomorrow I will start playing and tell you how far I get.

Bungie Day Halo ODST and Nathan Fillion...

So July 7th was officially Bungie Day which I almost forgot. So when I got home from work made dinner etc I jumped on around 8. I logged into the Bungie vs The World hopper and of course didn't meet up with Bungie. When I was playing there were about 130,000 people playing making the chance of me winning the lottery better than getting some Recon armor. But I did get my 7 on 7 Vidmaster achievement which is cool so I'm a little closer to getting those done. On the 7th Bungie also released their best podcast ever with none other than Nathan Fillion showing up.



He got to play Firefight and even some Halo: Reach. He was at the studio for 2 days! I'm a huge Firefly fan so hearing what he thinks about the game was cool. He is a big Halo player and it sounds like he is pretty good. The guys talked a lot about Firefight which actually got me excited for ODST again. I mentioned in my E3 post it looked pretty crappy and well I hope it surprises me. I know Bungie has a great track record (we'll forget about Brute Force) so this should be no different. Horde was my favorite part of Gears 2 other than that I have literally only played 4 public matches ever. I used to play social matches with some guys from another site but they got annoying. After all the title updates to Gears the shotgun got worse and I hate it so Firefight will be a welcome change and I can't wait!! Going up against multiple hunters scattered with Brutes and Grunts oh my! Hell yeah can't wait.

One last thing for the toy collectors out there. I have the Halo 3 ODST trooper but McFarlane is coming out with a Rookie figure in October right after the release of ODST and it looks a little different a must have for fans.
