Just a few thoughts on the passing on Monty Oum

The first time I ever saw or read about one of his works was when the premiere episode of Dead Fantasy was releasead and featured on GameTrailers. The short description caught my attention. Mixing Final Fantasy  and Dead or Alive characters and have them fight each other.

 I thought it was an amazing piece of fan work.  Yuna, Riku, Ayane, Kasumi. Using skills based on actual video game moves gave it an authentic feel and then the 2nd part/episode just blew me away with How Tifa showed up.


He accomplished something that great with RWBY. Going  from fan film maker to creating something that is recognized by Anime fans in a good way. Even getting picked up on streaming services  like Netflix (US) and Crunchyroll.

This is also a reminder for me. I know some people who have food allergies and I can't and shouldn't eat certain foods/ingredients around them.

Flow's take on the DBZ opening theme song -music video

I was on Youtube hoping to listen to this Japanese band's song called "Days". An opening song from Eureka Seven when I saw  one of the related videos was "Cha-La Head-Cha-La" .The first opening song to Dragon Ball Z.

It's good and definitely sounds a lot cleaner than listening to the original 1989 version!

Results of my AvP Classic 2000 multiplayer session

So I was able to join the event for an hour or so. Fired up my install of Aliens vs Predator Classic 2000  I went on trying to join servers and  some of them were listed as having open player slots from the max of 8 but they were already full!  Not sure if that 8 max  is a limitation of the original game or GOG Galaxy Multiplayer servers

Ended up just hosting a Multiplayer game. Set the game for  (No teams) death match and the Meat Factory map. I like it because it's indoors and has lots of windows for observing or sniping (for preadtor species)  There were quite a few times when I would spawn right next to or "inside" of another player lol..


The only issue during the game was a player matter and not a technical one. Someone was really annoyed by the smartgun and marine pulse rifle and actually rage quit!  Still had fun. Died a ton, won a few too.

Looks like I will helping Stress Test GOG servers tomorrow

GOG aka Good Old Games posted this on their website... They are trying to stress test their Online Multiplayer servers tomorrow Feb 12, 2015.

If you live in the Central Time Zone like me then  the start time converts to 10:00 AM.

three games are listed ...

• AVP Classic 2000
• The Witcher Adventure Game
• Double Dragon Trilogy 

You'll find me playing AVP / Aliens Vs Predator. Not sure if I will be hosting or not.

Probably want to  to run the game/ Galaxy Client a little beforehand just to make sure you don't have any pending GOG Galaxy launcher/game updates to download and install.

The many faces of Lara Croft -from Twitter

It's really interesting to see how Lara's face has changed through the years. I'm especially noticing the skin tone and hair style.

Some of the best Star Wars games in one bundle

Part of the Star Wars (Episode VII)  Force for Change  initiative Pay for games at a discount and fund a good cause (Unicef). These are for Windows PC/ Steam/Digital Downloads.



===Tier 1===
Knights of The Old Republic
Jedi Knight III: Jedi Academy
Dark Forces

The first Tier requiring a min payment of 1 USD, Knights of the Old Republic is an RPG game that came before The Old Republic MMO. Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy allows you to wield A lightsaber and force powers. Used to play this a lot over LAN.




===Tier II====
Battlefront II
Knight of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
Republic Commando



===Tier III===
Empire at War (+ Forces of Corruption expansion)
Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition
Force Unleashed II

Empire at War was the Real Time Strategy game where you could lead the Rebel Alliance or Galactic Empire to victory. The Force Unleashed games  are supercharged version of Jedi Academy.  Better graphics and in-game physics engine.



This would be an excellent way to get some of the best Star Wars Games that (now defunct) Lucasarts published prior to closing down shop. I already own a lot of these games on physical media or from Steam via individual purchases

Over a Week left before this bundle expires.

Those Capsule Corp sneakers look cool

Something that I found out about via a Twitter post...

I've never heard of this brand name before ( Heredia Clothing) but according to their Twitter Page The company is based in Mexico? Anyway the ad is 30 seconds long  and features 3 pairs of sneakers themed around 3 specific Dragon Ball Z characters.

• Son Goku usual blue and orange fighting attire
• Vegeta's Saiyan armor
• Future Trunks' outfit except take away the jacket, save the Capsule Corp patch

Since I can't really find an online website for this company it must be restricted to sales in Mexico? Unless a resident there puts a pair up on E-bay or something.
