My Bloggers readers probably have noticed that I stop updating this site. Well, the thing is I have been taking care of 2 blogs at the same time, and I don't have time to do that anymore. I decided to only keep one blog and unfortunately, I decide to take care of my Wordpress Blog. I have better traffic at that blog, and have better communication with readers over there. Yep, you heard me right, I'm blaming you people.
Besides, we all know that Wordpress has a more professional interface anyway.
If you're still interested in my posts, please read my newest entries at: http://goodkindofgeek.com/
Anyway, hope you have a good day, and lets get to know each other better over at the other site.

Thursday Rants- One Piece: The Truth Behind Devil Fruits
Another chapter of One Piece, and it turns out that Luffy really wants the Flame-Flame Fruit. We also got a verbal explanation of what exactly happens to a Devil Fruit user after he died- even though any hardcore One Piece fan should know already.
Anyway, I want to talk about Devil Fruits today. Let's do this:
BioShock Infinity: Ultimate Songbird Edition Unboxing/Review
I got my BioShock Infinity: Ultimate Songbird Edition yesterday, and look how big the box is!

Comics Reviews 3-27-2013
Sorry guys, I just got my copy of Bioshock Infinite Ultimate Songbird Edition yesterday, and I'm really into it right now. Juggling with both works and BioShock, I forgot to read the comics this week, and I wasn't prepare for it. However, it doesn't mean I'm not going to do a comic review this week. I'm just going to do a short one.
Anyway, here's the cover of the week:
Anyway, here's the cover of the week:
It's funny to see the six of them got stranded on a broken little raft. I wonder what's going on here? Anyway, if Franky, Sanji and Robin don't come to rescue them soon, things will be bad for our heroes. There are 3 people here who couldn't swim at all.

Like the previous figure, Bandai's D-Arts series is releasing Pokemon figure- Venusaur. The figure will comes with different articulation points fro Venusaur to do different poses. The figure is set to release in August, and will be 3,800 yen- about $40.
Venusaur is the final evolve form of Bulbasaur, who's also my favorite Pokemon. It's good to see Bandai's releasing these figures, and it's currently unknown if there will be more figures releasing in the future.

Monday Rants- A Troubled Screenwriter
So it's a brand new week and I'm finally on Spring break. However, as a writer, instead of going out on vacation, I have to sit in front of the computer and use my free time to write more screenplays. The problem is: I can't seem to map out my story!
I already know what I want to write about- a TV series about people with superpowers, and it's going to be way better Heroes. The general plot line is already there, but I just need to establish the characters and go into more details of what each characters want.
Anyway, wish me luck and I'm going to go back to writing this screenplay. Wish me luck!
DC Collectibles Green Arrow Unboxing/Review
I got this the other day- DC Collectibles' New 52 Green Arrow! I'm not a Green Arrow fan per say, but I've been collecting the other New 52 figures from DC Collectibles already, so I figure why not?
The Walking Dead: "This Sorrowful Life" Review
Well, that was heart broken. Before I go any further with this week's review, I need point out that the show needs to stop having the trends of killing off characters that just had tremendous character moments. First T-Dog, then Axel and now... yeah...

The Walking Dead: "Prey" Review

You wouldn't say that The Incredible Burt Wonderstone is a classic, but it does successfully entertain me in the 100 minutes of its run time.

Sleeping Dogs DLC- Year of the Snake Review
The newest DLC for Sleeping Dogs is out already. As a fan of the game, I was looking forward to the newest story DLC. We all know the previous weapon DLC was a disappointment, so I was hoping this will be good. I was wrong.

Thursday Rants- One Piece: Black Beard's Unique Body Type
There's no One Piece this week :( Let's hope Eiichiro Oda Sensei feels better soon.
Well, since we don't have new chapter this week, how about let's talk about a problem we have from a while back?
In a world where each person can only eat one Devil Fruit, how did Blackbeard get 2 Devil Fruit powers? I think the answer is hidden in his Jolly Roger.

Wednesday Rants- Time Paradoxes in Back to the Future
Back to the Future franchise. Not only it's the best movie trilogy in the history, it's also the best time travel movies ever. Heck, I've even written a time travel script because I was so inspired by the series. However, it doesn't mean the franchise is perfect. In fact, there are plenty of time travel paradoxes in this well-made time travel franchise.
Comics Reviews 3-13-2013
This week I will review comics from DC, Marvel and Image's The Walking Dead. First off, cover of the week:
The perfect cover to show the loneliness of Batman in Batman And Robin. I mean, can you get any sadder than having only Batman on a series titled Batman And Robin? Anyway, onward with the reviews:

Monday Rants- Pokemon Adventure
Pokemon Adventure, or Pokemon Special in Japan is an on-going manga series published by Shogakukan. This series is considered the flagship title among all the Pokemon manga series due to its faithfulness to the video game series. Even Pokemon creator Satoshi Tajiri states that the the comic is most resemble to the world he was trying to convey. I feel the same way too, and this is easily the only Pokemon media I like.
The Walking Dead: "Arrow on the Doorpost" Reviews
For a episode that doesn't have a lot going on, "Arrow on the Doorpost" is an intense episode. We finally have the meeting between Rick and The Governor, and it was one that sets tons of things to come.

Oz the Great and Powerful Review
Oz is a great movie. I say this because when I first enter the theater, I didn't expect I will like the film at all. Don't get me wrong though, I've always been a fan of Sam Raimi, but I just don't think this re-imagined of Oz would be any good. I was wrong.

Thursday Rants- One Piece: Who's Fujitora?
Last week's One Piece chapter 700 introduces us to a new character- Fujitora. Apparently, Fujitora is a Marine officer strong enough for Sakazuki to trust him to take care of the Law and Luffy alliance.
So who the heck is this Fujitora? From past experiences and hints on the name, this Fujitora guy is most likely the newest Admiral.

Tomb Raider Gameplay Review
Run Lara Run! The reboot of the Tomb Raider franchise is here and it brings us a brand-new and better version of Lara Croft. I never play the previous versions of Tomb Raider before, and I'm glad that's the case. Otherwise, my first experience of the franchise would never be this top-notch game, but some soon forgotten history.

100 Posts!!! New series- Daily Geek Rants!
100 posts already and it only takes me about 2 months! That's how dedicated I am to this blog, and how much I love my readers. To celebrate the event, I decide to start a new category/series called Daily Geek Rants. Ever Monday to Friday, I will blog about a geeky topic where I will just ramble on with my thoughts about said topic.
For the first topic, I'm gonna rant about Case Closed/Detective Conan! One of my favorite manga series as a young boy.

Trinity of Sins: Pandora
I think the biggest news out of ECCC is DC is planning on releasing Pandora's on-going series: Trinity of Sins: Pandora this June. Pandora, as we know it, is responsible for the entire New 52 universe when she merge DC, Vertigo and Wildstorm universes into one back in 2011. It's interesting to see what kind of story Pandora can bring as an on-going series. That leaves only Question left in the Trinity of Sins without an on-going series. The other one is Phantom Stranger.
There's still two series left for June, as we know that DC cancelled six titles in May. Other than this series, DC already announced Larfleeze, Batman/Superman and Scott Snyder/Jim Lee's untitled Superman series.
The Walking Dead: "Clear" Reviews
"Clear" is a simple episode. With the fewest cast members appear in an episode (only 4), "Clear" is very similar to "18 Miles Out" from the previous season. And like "18 Miles Out," this is one of the strongest episode of the season.
Morgan makes a return in this episode. He might not be an important character, but he's one of the most remarkable character in the series, being the first person Rick encountered in the zombie world and the person Rick promises to go back to. It's sad to see that Morgan is broken down and essentially a psychopath from Dead Rising. I read the comic series, and knew that Morgan joins the group. So when I first learn that Morgan is going to make an appearance in season 3, I was hoping that Rick will ask Morgan to join his group as well. That idea soon died away when I see how fuck-up Morgan became in the TV series and I pray to god that Rick never ask him to come with him. If anything, thank god Morgan has enough senses left to say no. Damn, it would be a whole kind of different adventure if Morgan really comes along with the group. While one man lost everything, the other only lost so little compare to it. It's very sad how Duane died in the TV series, and it was nothing like this in the comic. To see your own son being eaten by your zombie wife is understandable why Morgan turn out the way he did.
If anything, Rick's entire encounter with Morgan should be enough of a wake-up call for him. Morgan is what Rick will become if Rick continues to dwell in sorrow, and Rick knows it. This seems like the end of Rick's crazy, and hopefully it stays that way. It's a great touch having Michonne telling Rick that she's been seeing her dead boyfriend as well. Not only it helps Rick with his problem, it also brings the classic Michonne from the comic to the series.
Michonne is once again wonderful in this episode. If anything, she's getting better and closer to her awesome comic book counterpart as episodes progress. There are many moments in this episodes I just love about Michonne. She's eating Morgan's food and makes that little comment about "Welcome" on the mat. She desperately wants to help Carl just shows how much she cares, and how she's a character full of heart. Finally, that little moment where she picks up that strange looking cat thing and calls it "gorgeous." Carl's "are you serious " face was priceless as well. With the way the writers have been writing about Michonne, she is pretty much the same lovable character from the comic series already. For that, I thank you writers.
Carl is the hero of the episode. The whole time his agenda to bring pictures of their mother to his baby sister is just touching. He's no longer that old Carl who gets everyone in trouble, but a warrior who can stand his own ground. While he does have the problem of doing things by himself, I think he learns the lesson in this episode that it's okay to ask people for help every once in a while. I especially enjoy the scene where he basically apologizes to Morgan for shooting him, and Morgan tells him don't be sorry. For a moment there I though Morgan was going to slap Carl... Anyway, I really like Carl and I'm glad to see him turning into such a wonderful character. Best child character in TV!
By the way, what's up with those GIANT rats Carl uses to lure walkers away. Shit, are all rodents in the south that big? That's the most disgusting I've seen in this show, and I seen a fat walker broken apart in a well before.
And how about that poor hitchhiker? I understand that it's not the safe thing to do anymore to invite strangers into your group, but poor guy. While it might be cold blooded, the guy was kind of annoying with his persistence. It's the end of the world, for god's sake, no one is entitled to help anyone in this world. The final scene where the guy is completely devoured and our heroes picking up his backpack is kind of cool, I'm not gonna lie. I mean, why wasting completely good supplies?
Another strong episode for the wonderful series. It's episode like this that shows how Walking Dead is not a show about killing and blood, but people and character.
Score: 9.5/10

Assassin's Greed IV: Black Flag announced
I'm always interested in the franchise, but I never really enjoyed the game. The story is too bizarre with a man rediscovering his ancestors with a machine. I don't see how it's interesting that the game took place in a virtual memory, and the main character is simulating it. I'm a story guy, and they story just don't sell to me. However, when I heard that Assassin's Creed 3 takes place during American Revolutionary War and that's such an interesting time, I always wanted to pick up the game but never had a chance.
Now I have more chances to get the game! Assassin's Creed IV got announced and this time it is going to take place during pirate time, and as an One Piece fan, that's better than the American Revolutionary War. The main character is rumored to be Edward Kenway, and he's going to be grandfather of Assassin's Creed's 3's Connor.
Also, the box arts are shown as well:
As you can see, the PS 3 version comes with 60 minutes of "exclusive" gameplay. Lucky I got a PS 3, huh? What the excessive gameplay is unknown of now, but I'm pretty sure both XBox and Wii U players will be then content later as DLC. There're going to more news about the game on March 4th, so I will blog about it when time comes.
