A quick DBZ: R of F thought

Son Goku's new blue hair/aura in the Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection of F trailer is faintly reminding me of another Sayajin character when he charged up...

Broly, back in the older movies. from the 1990s, I forget which ones they are specifically though.

Saint Seiya Soul of Gold - Anime fans in Europe must be really happy

So after watching the first episode which appeared online a few days ago, I'm interested in watching more since it's actually a series about a group other than Seiya, Shun and that cast of characters. I haven't read the Manga (Japanese comic) this is based on so I could be wrong.

The one point of confusion for me is the inclusion of Norse Mythology. Asgard being mentioned a lot in this first episode When was this element added? I know that the original Saint Seiya started with Greek Mythology. Still using the classic series theme of "Brightly burning Cosmos". 

....
There also seems to be a new Saint Seiya video game coming to Sony PlayStation (3 and 4) as well as PC/Windows. Bandai/Namco as of late have been giving Anime/Gaming fans a chance to play Games based on Anime...

• 2 Naruto Shippuden Games
• Dragon Ball Xenoverse
•  yet to be released, One-Piece Warriors 3

There's a good change that the West will get a English version of the game eventually.

After watching other people play Rainbow Six: Siege... still Alpha

First of all I'm kind of surprised that Ubisoft is allowing gameplay footage of a closed alpha build to be broadcast on places like Twitch.tv and Youtube. So far the gameplay looks interesting and definitely a callback to the old Rainbow six style of gameplay. Add it the heavy emphasis on destructible doors, windows and plaster walls.


 Centerstrain01 had a very strange experience when the game wouldn't turn off the remote/robot camera view and he had to navigate his way when this graphical glitch happened

You can watch it for yourself about 2 and a half minutes into the video.


In another instance I was watching another Internet gaming personality  Angryjoeshow live stream a Rainbow Six Siege stream session and his player-character actually spawned inside one of the walls in the "House" map.

At leas we see that the multiplayer is playable but still very buggy.

Replaying the original Torchlight with some add-ons

Torchlight 1 is a game is a game I bought once the retail edition was available. That was around 2010. When it was being released by Encore. Played the game Vanquisher (ranger-style). Remember reaching the final floors of the main dungeon but I just kept on getting overwhelmed at the final boss battle. Over and over again.

Starting over from the start with a new character on Normal difficulty

The Starting Armor doesn't look intimidating at all. lol.

So which community made modifications did I decide to try out?

Someone is trying to resurrect the Descent series...

Via Kickstarter! Something that was brought to my attention via a Titter post.  The problem is that the funding is only just over 50% with only 6 days left before  the end of the fund raising period.

I've actually only ever played the  the first two games and really liked them. In short they felt like "Doom in Zero-G". You are flying this spaceship through tunnels and corridors trying to fight off enemy ships and other machines, while trying to pick up various powerups and locating the exit to each level.

The series eventually spun off into a series called Freespace? Which made it feel more like Wing Commander or X-Wing.


It seems that the game has been approved by steam Greenlight, so the game may come out at some point just with less polish due the lack of Kickstarter funds.  Using the Unreal Engine. See the video posted on Youtube.

Just finished: Blood Lad

You could say that this was somewhat influenced by either Underworld or Twilight because we have a Vampire as a main character and his nearest rival is a Werewolf gang leader.  The Vampire race seems to be the most powerful  in this Blood Lad universe.

My favorite thing aside from the various Gamer and Anime references is probably the power that Bell controls. She can create and view portals that allow her to travel or send things long distances.  Speaking of Anime references, in one episode there was a moment where Staz tries to launch a Kamehameha (from DBZ) Probably one of the few times I've seen one Fighting Anime show aware of another fighting Anime show! Staz being an Anime fan he praises Son Goku. Haha. Good to hear that May'n is still performing OP theme songs for Anime.
