You don't win the battle by doing what's right

I've said very little on the upcoming live-action RE film -- with good reason -- and what little I've said has been mostly restrained to Plurk. However, with the latest "fight" scene that just popped up, I feel I should do an obligatory .gif-reaction post.

( I didn't think you could get by in Hollywood lacking THIS much quality. )

Just finished Spider-Man: Edge of Time!

( In short... )

And SPEAKING of Spidey, I finally got around to watching some episodes of the new Spider-Man cartoon on Disney, Ultimate Spider-Man.

...

......

...Well... it's not... bad, but... it... definitely needs some work. Like, a ton of work. 8|

It doesn't help that the last Spidey show I watched was Spectacular Spider-Man, which was easily the best Marvel cartoon (if not THE best cartoon, period) that I've ever seen -- so living up to its reputation would be difficult for any show, but Disney... well. It dropped the ball on this one.

( WHY, DISNEY. WHY. )

And thus, the recent announcement of a new Avengers cartoon, also by Disney -- which will undoubtedly result in the cancellation of Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, the second best Marvel cartoon ever -- has broken what bit of my heart that the loss of Spectacular Spidey didn't. 8'((( I DON'T EVEN WATCH THAT MUCH TV, DISNEY, SO WHY MUST YOU TAKE AWAY THE FEW THINGS THAT I ENJOY?? >|

On a separate note, I just started my free trial at Gamefly. First up, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, finally. I'm half-considering renting Operation Raccoon City again towards the end of the trial, just so I can get some more achievements and at least see all the cutscenes (since they are pretty, even if Nicholai and Jill and Carlos look rather... eh.), buuuut idk yet. I got so frustrated with that game at times that I'm not sure it's worth it when I could rent something new instead; not to mention I'm irked that I keep seeing more and more DLC for it, making it come off as One Of Those Games that purposely puts very little content in the actual game just to force players to buy more of it.

IDK, but aside from AC, I'm hoping to get my hands on Fatal Frame (ffff WISH ME LUCK GUYS IT WILL PROBABLY GIVE ME NIGHTMARES WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF) and Portal 2. Uhhhh what else... probably some multiplayer games for me and my sisters to co-op, maybe Mario Tennis Open, and OH some dance games for the Wii, since my self-esteem knows no injury and I am totally cool with dancing around like an idiot. Maybe I'll finally give Mass Effect a try, even.

I've seen some bad Microsoft Word fail in my time, but this is one of the most retarded. Of course, my computer system is approaching ancient, so maybe the newer editions of Word have fixed the grammar/spelling "correction" fail.

( RE: Revelations spoilers within )

Speaking of fail, I picked up the S.D. Perry Nemesis novel at the library just for giggles; and I totally wtf'd at Jill purposely wearing her RE3 clothes because they were "easier to move in." Excusemewhat -- there is nothing free or easy about running around and fighting in a tube top and/or skirt, of all things. Even her boots were dressy/heeled ones, not military style. ORZ.

I'd understand if a man made this mistake, but come on, Perry! Get your crap together. :|

So while the book started out as snicker-worthy, by the time I got to the end where Nicholai was actually about to rape Jill, I'd gone from patronizing chuckles to



because... what. APPARENTLY HAVING ONE CANON RAPIST ISN'T ENOUGH, SO PERRY FINDS IT NECESSARY TO ADD MORE EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE? wth. 8|a

OVERALL... yeah, did not like. No gold stars for you, Perry.

AWWWW YEAAAAAH Hilde was confirmed for Soul Calibur V. \o\ \o/ /o/ Even more exciting is that her basic stats were released and SHE HAS CHILDREN. omg. omg. PLZ TO BE WANTING TO KNOW WHO THE DADDY IS, NAMCO.

Even more awesome is that she's now an exiled princess on the run as a mercenary. In Siegfried's mercenary group. klsdjlkfsjkldjfsdfs I HAVE NO WORDS FOR THIS. >3< Totes time for a canon update for the muse, come next year. 8D

( Latest video game ventures, sans spoilers. )

And RE: Nemesis (...ahaha pun not intended) in ~ULTIMATE MvC3~: yeah, he looks awesome. No, I am not convinced anymore than before to buy this stupid thing. >|

( CAPSLOCKY RANT TIME + A GIF BECAUSE I HATE CAPCOM )

Uhhhh what else. The last few Naruto chapters have been epic. I have found me a new 4-man BroTP, as alory_shannon would say. |D

I just completed book #11 of The Dresden Files, and I just reserved book #12 at the library -- but much to my dismay, I found out that the latest book, #13, has a waiting list of 38 people.

;3;

And I am sorely lacking in the funds necessary to just go out and buy a hardcover book atm, so obvs I am doomed to live in suspense.

FOR THE LOVE OF--

Augh.

Auuuuuuuuugh.

I at least hope that, if it is a continuation of Crapterlife, Jill gets to kick Alice's ass around before BEING INEVITABLY SAVED BY HER MAJESTY!!oneoneleventy

Pffffff, 2012? Stop acting like you need that much time to throw your shit together, Anderson.

So in what's possibly the last character announcement until DLC starts hitting, MvC3 declared two more characters.

...



GET OUT.

WTF. SENTINEL? SENTINEL? WHO THE FRAK LIKES SENTINEL. And don't we have enough X-Men characters? I mean, I'm an X-Men whore, but that series outweighs every other one in character count so far. :\ Spidey could totes use a canonmate.

DUDE EDDIE BROCK WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH EFFING BETTER. OR MAC GARGAN. Or Nick Fury or Gambit or even Norman bloody Osborn. They'd BETTER be DLC--Venom, at least--or I'm calling even more BS. IDK anything about Darkstalkers, so I can't say anything about the chick, but Sentinel just feels like such a filler character. B|

Disappoint, Capcom. Disappoint. B|

ANYway, we watched Afterlife last night, and as predicted, it was a delightfully horrible train wreck.
