FFXIV Tam Tara Deepcroft Dungeon Crawl preview

The FFXIV dev team gives us a brief preview of one dungeon crawl in the Tam Tara Deepcroft...

Merry Christmas to all 3 of you that read my blog

Hey kids hope you have a Merry Christmas...if you don't get EVERYTHING you wanted, try and understand....Santa is a blue collar guy, he's been doing Christmas for a long time and these last couple years the economy has sucked pretty hard. Alotta elves are on the dol (ask your parents) and 2 is the new 5 in the workforce so poor Rudolf is pulling the slack for Dasher, Dancer Vixen and Blitzen.
Santa knows you've been a good boy but the 1% don't care how good you are, no Christmas miracle is gonna help stop their greed!
So if you didn't get your Red Rider BB gun this year, be merry for the stuff we too often take for granted, your family, a roof over your head a warm bed to dream about sugar plumes  in, and all that good food your probably shoving in your face.
You know the best Christmas gift you can give your folks this year? A simple "Thankyou".
Now if you'll excuse me I have to get back to taking the ribbon off my brand new Nissan GTR :)

FFXIV Levequests & Party Combat Video @ version

The more I think about it, the more I think if this version of FFXIV turns out to be good it could essentially extend the PS3's life by at least a year and a half....just enough time for those who won't be transitioning to the PS4 on launch week/month /year....just enough time for the PS4's first price cut....

Street Fighter X Mega Man Capcom Unity playthough videos

The guys from Capcom Unity take the blue bomber for a test run!

Man of Steel Official Trailer

Now that is how you make a trailer! If you're not sold that this is will be the movie that Returns Superman ;) to the iconic figure he was when we first saw Christopher Reeve fly away from the fortress of solitude as children nothing will convince you! I honesty believe this movie will return The Man of Steel to represent Truth, Justice and the American way...not just all that stuff.
Kudos to Mike for the heads up on the trailer!

CastleVania Lords of Shadow 2 Trailer

That is not Robert Carlyle's voice in this trailer, is it? It certainly sounded different, not very powerful....maybe that is intentional based on the dialog but I wasn't feeling the voice.
Other than that the game seems to be coming together, I wonder what members of the Belmont clan will be hunting Gabriel? Simon perhaps. Since this series is considered a reboot I suppose we can thrown continuity out the window....

The Last of Us Story Trailer

Darn I missed the VGA's again this year....oh well.
The trailer for The Last ofUs that debuted on Spike's VGA's is now available. The game is simply amazing looking and is in my day 1 purchases....speaking of day 1, that will be 5/7/13.
2013 is looking very strong for Sony!

Oblivion Trailer

Last week Krogenar mentioned he saw a trailer for a new Sci Fi movie with Tom Cruise, I'm no fan of Cruise....he's very hit or miss with me (Jerry McGuire/Knight and Day). But I was curious and just last night the trailer hit the web....I'm not sold on it but asthetically it looks interesting...

Street Fighter X Mega Man Announced by Capcom Unity

 The poor Blue Bomber has had a rough year, with the cancellation of MMU, Keiji Inafune leaving Capcom and the outrage caused by Mega Mans appearance in SFXT....ouch that was rough!
But as 2012 and SF25th comes to a close we look to the future and the 25th anniversary of Mega Man!
Capcom just announced something very cool Street Fighter X Mega Man!
Looks like Wily is finally locked up good and tight....but I wouldn't be surprised is he's behind this...
Street Fighter X Mega Man will be available December 17th FREE via Capcom Unity's Mega Man Brand page.

Fringe S5 E95 The Human Kind Recap

Fridays episode The Human Kind was a decent episode, the episode really showed Olivia's strength...mentally and emotionally. She just lost her daughter a second time, she's losing Peter to the Observer implant in his brain and they're no closer to defeating the Observers than they were at the start of Walters wild goose chase, but she hunkers down and focuses on the mission.
The highlight for me was the cat and mouse between Peter and Windmark that culminated in the fight in the warehouse.
My only gripe with the episode was how in God's name did Olivia find Peter in all of Manhattan after securing the electromagnet!? I loved the scene, it was powerful and rang true....and didn't feel cheesy at all.
I understand, story-wise, the significance of Peter removing the observer tech himself but it just made me scratch my head and think...."that can't be safe! He can't see what he's doing. Maybe you should let Olivia do that..."
