Madden '13

So for my nephew's birthday(he turned 8), one of his uncles gave him Madden '13 for PS3. He's really into football right now. Though while he currently doesn't own a PS3 to begin with, he'll be using mine for it. He even got his own controller. So with me not being a sports fan, I either do something else while he plays, or I learn to play it so he has some company. Hmm...

The Dark Knight Returns (Part 1 & 2)

The newest additions to get my seal of approval are both parts of The Dark Knight Returns. This iteration of Batman has Bruce as an old man who had retired Batman(oh and Dick's Robin replacement is a girl). 10 years later, a threat to Gotham city brings back Batman. The events of part 1 continue on with part 2 as the Joker makes his return. No one will even compare to Mark Hamill's Joker, but this one wasn't bad. Andrea Romano knows how to get the right people for the job. Superman makes an appearance in part 2. Nothing to say there since I'm not a fan of his, but yeah. They are both worth watching.

Stuff Update

Took a while, but finally, I have received my Wizard's Edition. Definitely worth it. I won't be playing the game until I finish Okami HD. I don't want to add to my backlog of abandoned games. Also in the video game department I seem to have returned to my Pokémon phase. I am playing White 2 on the side when I have less time than I would for Okami HD. Being a handheld game though, it's easy to put down so it's not something like Okami HD vs Ni No Kuni, I can handle both...and all because I wanted the Keldeo giveaway.

I wasn't planning on it, but somehow I ended up watching Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D: Bonds Beyond Time. I liked it but I'll add my seal later. Edit: So the movie is about a bad guy from the future where his world is destroyed because of the "duel monsters" game that was invented. So the bad guy travels through 3 timelines to get the best monsters off the main good guys and plans to use them to destroy the creator of duel monsters for good. The 3 heroes team up and play a card game against the bad guy to save the world.

Out of two episodes aired, I've enjoyed watching The Following on FOX, but I think I'm going to stop watching it only because I don't want to be hooked to another show. I already watch too many things.

On that note, I was sad to find out that Cartoon Network pulled the plug on Green Lantern: The Animated Series. Having only recently joined the Green Lantern fandom(or Fanterns as they were dubbed), I am sad that my main source of all that is GL related being taken from me. They took it down in favor of Teen Titans GO and Beware The Batman. Why couldn't they just you know...have 2 hours of DC Nation(they also canceled Young Justice which I don't watch). I'm sure they could've squeezed in an extra hour of DC cartoons.

I think that covers things for now. 

Digital River

Digital River sucks as a company. They can't seem to do anything right. I've had stuff shipped from them twice and both times there's been delays(and cancellations for some other people). First time was when I ordered Marvel vs Capcom 3 from Capcom's store. Now I'm waiting to receive the Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch(Wizard's Edition) game. Luckily I can deal with it because I'm still working on Okami HD.

Knowing / The Three Stooges

 Over the past few days I watched both of these movies. First up is The Three Stooges. Will Sasso, Sean Hayes and Chris Diamontopolous playing Curly, Larry and Moe respectively. They nailed their roles perfectly. The film had the classic sound effects and opening/ending music from the original series. Not sure why the cast of Jersey Shore was involved with the film but for what happens, I'm glad they joined.

This one stars Nicholas Cage and is all about numbers. 50 years before Cage shows up there's a girl who starts writing down a bunch of numbers before placing the paper inside a time capsule to later be discovered by Cage's son in the film. When Cage starts putting the numbers together, he realizes that they are dates in which disasters are revealed with date and number of casualties involved. With 3 dates left to occur before disaster strikes, it's up to Cage to try and figure everything out. I enjoyed both films(which of course you knew that because they got my seal of approval.

Abduction

So for today's hangout(last night) we watched Abduction on Netflix. I personally wasn't interested in this because I was judging the fact that a Twilight actor was in it. I was surprised though. The movie is watchable. There are some pretty good fight scenes in there.

TV

Haven't updated lately. I've been distracted with Okami HD. During yesterday's play-through, I caught up to the point I left off in the Wii version of the game. I'm very much enjoying this game. Other than that not much to say. The shows I watch on TV are returning. Once Upon A Time, Castle and American Horror Story have returned. Next week Supernatural will return. Not sure when Arrow starts again. I know Revolution comes back in March. TMNT and Green Lantern: TAS should be back soon. Supah Ninjas comes back February. Wow I watch too much stuff.
