Hey, I was about to revive this blog but i just found out there's a website called Geek Out Loud that predates this one, so I'm making a new blog altogether: http://spidercharm.blogspot.com

Marvel Anime

Some time ago I mentioned that the Wolverine anime was coming, well, it started airing last week. And now the logos for the X-Men and Blade animes have been revealed.
The plot for the Blade anime is basicly the same as the first movie, he wants revenge on Deacon Frost. As for the X-Men anime: the x-men had been disbanded after the death of one of them, and now they're called again to join forces to rescue another x-man who has been kidnapped. Also there seems to be an army that taked mutant organs and uses them as implants to enhance their soldiers.

X-Men Stuff!

----------Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D Trailer!

----------Ron Perlman talks about Hellboy III

I'll make this one short. Guillermo del Toro basicly said that he'd do Hellboy 3 only if Ron Perlman wanted to. And as he recently said in an intervew he says hes ready now and that it'd be a disservice to fans not to give fans a proper ending to the Hellboy story. He also hinted that Guillermo del Toro has something really epic planned for the movie.


----------X-Men: First Class Teaser Poster and Stills Revealed

Looking awesome (click to expand)

The bad guys looking like bad guys (from the 60s!)

Bald guy in wheelchair to be VS villain to be

Did anyone else notice Beast looks human here but he's blue in the first pic that was released?

It's called shared thinking. BAAWM

Magneto..uh..doing his..thing?

----------Two Villains Cast for The Dark Knight Rises

Anne Hathaway is playing Catwoman and Tom Hardy is playing Bane. That's it.

More Thor Pics

As it seems, the last Thor poster i posted wasn't a fake, and here's a wider version. It kinda looks like a possible cover for the soundtrack. By the way, am I the only one who thinks the background resembles the ones from some of the Iron Man 2 posters?

Pics!

I updated the Captain America pic from the last post with an HQ version. And here you have another one:


One of Thor:


And also the first official pic of X-Men: First Class:


And I just couldn't help myself from posting this, it made me lol:

Last but not least, Warner Bros has decided to produce a 10 Episodes Mortal Kombat Webseries directed by the guy who directed awesome, awesome Mortal Kombat Rerbirth short

Marvel Movies News!

Two intersting pics have been released. The First is of Chris Evans as Cap in full costume. I think it looks grat, only maybe a bit too modern considering the movie's taking palce during World War II.


The Second is the pic of Spider-Man! No mask, but i think it looks pretty good as well, except for teh whole...abdomen part...it looks like it's melting. And that fiber sort of texture reminds me of the green latner movie suit a bit too much. Still, it could be worse.


In other marvelous news, the first trailer for X-Men: First Class has been screened to multiple audiences in some movie festivals and conventions, and it shows the main costs showing their powers. It sounds good, let's hope it leaks soon.

Dead Space 2 Launch Trailer

This trailer got me very excited about the game. I finished the first one not so long ago, and while I did think it was a decent game with some interesting twists, I felt like the ending was a bit cheap, but I won't spoil it for the ones who haven't played it yet. The whole game was about getting the hell out of the USG Ishimura and we barely got some of Isaac's comments on the objectives panel and he didn't reallt put that much effor in looking for his missing wife, so it felt little or not character driven at all. This sequel does seem like it will be more focused on Isaac and his dementia. And it looks awesome. We'll see if it lives up to the hype.



By the way, the song is "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" by Smashing Pumpkins

New Tomb Raider screens!

Man this game looks awesome! That's how searching for ancient crap shold be like: muddy, bloody and scary.
In other news, following the trend of re-releasing remastered games sagas, they'll be releasing the Tomb Raider "Trilogy" (which are actually the 3 last games, if you don't count..the actual last one) remastered for PS3 only.

Red Skull Concept Art and Thor International Poster

By now you've probably seen this, but I still thought it'd be cool to post it. It's the concept art for Red Skull in the Captain America movie. Something tells me we won't see Red Skull with an actual red skull until the last part of the movie.

And also, here's the Internarnational Poster for Thor:

Saint Seiya CGI Movie!

This is the super teasing teaser trailer for the teasedly teased Saint Seiya CGI movie. If you're not into anime you may know the series as "Knights of the Zodiac". If it still doesn't ring a bell, then I doubt you have nay reason to care about this trailer at all.

Some say that this is most likely a movie based on one of the latest mangas of the series called Lost Canvas, which has already been adapted into 13 OVAs.


And since I'm kinda bored, I leave you with this video: "Jenny" by Flight of the Conchords

Wolverine plushie review

I saw it. I had to get it. I only regret not having enough money to buy the Spider-Man, Hulk, and Thor ones *sob.
Anyways, the quality is pretty good, it's an official Marvel product and it costed around $15, I suppose it's from the Marvel Superhero Squad line. The only bad thing about it is that it obviously can't stand by it's own and it has to be laying sit against something or else it will fall down because of the weight of the head, but I think that's normal on a plushie. I have no idea, this is my first one. After taking the pic for the review I asked Wolvie what he thought of about the comments saying that the Iron Man movie did better than his last one. This is what he had to say:

Resident Evil 3D The Mercenaries for 3DS Leaked!

I know I haven't updated in ages, but I was on vacations and there weren't that many thing worth updating for, but now this is something. Just watch it, it's too awesome for words.

Yes, shed those glorious tears! Curl up in agony knowing that you won't be able to touch that little big console until April! The price for Japan is around $300, but then again, Japan always gets Nintendo stuff cheaper. I say it'll be $375-400 when it comes out. But be warned, out of the release games, the only known franchises are Nintendogs, Street Fighter and Winning Eleven, the rest are new games, you'll have to wait a few more months for Resident Evil Revelations, Resident Evil 3D the Mercenaries, the remakes of Metal Gear Solid 3 and TLOZ: Ocarina of Time, as well as BlazBlue 2 and some others that you can't wait for but you will, because you don't have a choice. Mwahahaha >:D
There's also a Kingdom Hearts 3D remake coming. Personally, I'm excited because the director of Final Fantasy VII: Before Crisis (which only came out for specific series of Nokia cellphones and never made it out of Japan) said that he'd like to do a remake for the 3DS, which would make a US (and worlwide) release more likely, which is good news for us Final Fantasy 7 fanboys.

FF7: Before Crisis, why u no let me play you?

Also, It's just a matter of time before we have a new Pokemon, Mario, Mario Kart, Mario Party, Kirby, Donkey Kong, WarioWare, and any other game of the rest of the characters of the Nintendo bunch.

Bits, Bikes and Beats

I like Rock. Metal, nü metal, grunge, old school, new school, you name it. You probably have a rather defined musical taste by now if you're 18 years old or older. But why do you like the music that you like? When did it begin? Maybe your dad liked that music, maybe you decided to listen to it because it's the opposite of what they liked, or of what everyone else liked, maybe it was just meant to be. In my case it began with videogames, which began with..well, childhood. When I was around 5 my dad got a PC that ran in DOS. No mouse, no Windows. So the obvious games to play were the original Prince of Persia, Duke Nukem, Mortal Kombat, and stuff like that. But then my cousins got a PC that had Windows. And it a had a mouse. So they started playing Point-and-click adventure games. And so did I when I got a PC that got Windows as well. One of the very first rock songs I ever listenend to was the Full Throttle intro, "Legacy" by The Gone Jackals:

And then my brother came home with a game borrowed from a friend of his, it was the ever-awesome Road Rash. And the background music for the menu was "Rusty Cage" by Soundgarden:

I believe that's one of the main reasons why I relate music to good times and fun moments. Of course there are a lot more bands and artists that ended up defining what I like today, but i think it's worth remembering what made you who you are, where it begins. And this is my tribute to that. If you'd like to share how your love for music or videogames began, feel free to comment below.

Oh, I forgot...

There's been a poll on the blog since day one, by the way, in case you hadn't noticed. Please do vote or Cuck Norris will kill you with his left ear.

----- PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES TRAILER

----- THOR VIDEOGAME TRAILER

----- VILLAINS CAST FOR SPIDER-MAN REBOOT


No, it's not Kurt Cobain. It's Proto-Goblin, which will be played by this guy:


I know, right? He looks like right out of the comic. Also Rhys Ifans will be The Lizard.
And Campbell Scott and Julianne Nicholson will play Peter Parker's parents, which in my opinion (and i'm not being sarcastic this time) were very accurately casted.

Make it happen!

You may not be aware of a very cool RPG Saga called .hack//. It's basicly about an online game in a semi-futuristic world whose code generates two self-conscious A.I.'s that battle between themselves putting the player's lives in danger, generating people to fall into commas and causing massive internet collapses all over the world. There have been 3 sub-sagas: dot hack, dot hack G.U. and dot hack Link. The latter published only in Japan and oh, yeah, that will be the last dot hack game ever. That's right. No ending unless you can understand Japanese. So the guys over at http://linkus.dothackers.net/ started a campaign for Namco Bandai to publish the game in the U.S.A. which would eventually cause a worlwide release.
The saga consists of more than seven games, five mangas, four novels,three animes and five OVAs, which have all been translated into English. If you'd like to know how it all ends, or you just think it's unfair that they don't publish a PSP game that has sold over 100 thousand copies in Japan alone, please do give dothackers.net a hand and follow some of their suggestions on their website.

I'm Back!

Sorry for not posting anything the last couple of weeks, I was busy with exams and stuff. I know there's a lot of videogame trailers that have premiered of the Spoke's VGA Awards and there also Thor's. And Yes, I know by now you've all seem them but i'm posting them for completion's sake. Also, I've noticed that sometimes the blog gets a very decent amount of views per day, yet no one comments. Please do comment or an elephant will rape your pet unicorn. So this is the most important stuff:

-------THOR POSTER AND TRAILER


Besides this teasers, they've also revealed that the whole asgardiana spect of the movie will be more sci-fi based than the fantasy style from the current comics. Thor is a friggin' alien (and also everyone in Asgard). Hell yeah!

-------NEW COWBOYS & ALIENS POSTER


-------NEW BATMAN ARKHAM CITY TRAILER

Remember how last time i was telling you about the whole possible plot for Batman 3? Well it seems that it was actually for the game. Or maybe it will be both. We'll have to wait and see.

-------NEW CRYSIS 2 TRAILER

I didn't like the first Crysis games, not Far Cry. But Crytek totally bought me with the song. It's "Just like you imagined" by Nine Inch Nails (it may sound familiar from the 300 movie trailer). Go get it.

-------NEW X-MEN: DESTINY TRAILER

Oh, I hate you Marvel. This is the very definition of a teaser trailer. It teases you. It gives you nothing. Yet it makes you want more. I hate you, Marvel.

-------PROTOTYPE 2 DEBUT TRAILER

-------BACK TO THE FUTURE GAME TRAILER

-------TOMB RAIDER REBOOT TEASED

Another Eidos game that gets remade by Square-Enix, just like Deus Ex. So we know it'll be awesome.

More, more!

------ WOLVERINE ANIME TEASER TRAILER

Yes, just like Iron Man, Wolverine is getting his own anime produced by MadHouse. Official Site here.

------ 2 AWESOME ASSASSIN'S CREED ILLUSTRATIONS

The guys at UbiWorkshop have a very neat project going on: making an assassin's creed artbook. Check out their site for more info and cool Assassin's Creed stuff. These are the two latest additions to their gallery:

"Assassin" by SeedSeven

"Assassin" by Will Murai

Stock o' Updates

------ MILLARVERSE VARIANT COVERS!


No, it's not an actual crossover. It's just a pic spreaded across three variant covers for Nemesis, Superior and Kick-Ass, respectively. But still pretty cool.

------ PARALLAX, YOU'RE LEAKING


A concept image of Parallax from the Green Lantern movie has leaked. And it is obviously still online despite Warner Bros' efforts to get it offline.

------ STACKING DEBUT TRAILER RELEASED

Tim schafer has a habir of making awesome but underrated games. As much as i'd like to believe otherwise, this doesn't seem like it'll be the exception. Let's hope i'm wrong.

------ APOLLO 18 POSTER RELEASED


Timur Bekmambetov is the Tim Schafer of movies. He made amazing movies such as Night Watch, Day Watch and Wanted, yet he still isn't a big name in the hollywood industry. Let's hope that changes as well.

------ BACK TO BACK TO THE FUTURE

IGN released the first screenshots of the videogame adaptation of the saga by Telltale Games. Seems cool. It's nice to know adventure games aren't dead yet.

------ RUMOROUS RUMORS: BATMAN 3 PLOT


It is said that is said that someone else said that the Batman comic in saga (or at least one of them) in which the next film will be based is "Prey" in which Batman is persued by a cop turned vigilante (Officer Cort / Night Scourge) and police psychiatrist called Dr Hugo Strange, who also convinces Commisioner Gordon to assamble atask force to hunt Batman down. Also, Strange eventually learns Batman's true identity but keeps his mouth shut. And Catwoman also appears in these comics. So this whole this would fit pretty nicely with the end of tha lst film and the rumors that have been going around lately about Nolan casting a female role. Tom Hardy, who has already confirmed an appearence could play either Officer Cort or Dr Hugo Strange.
