EVO 2018 schedule

Wow it's that time again, time for THE FGC to rise up!
The EVO schedule and stream schedule is out for this coming weekend.
For me I'll be following the SFV schedule, for those on the east coast that can't convert time zones
Friday's Round 1 pools begin @ 12 pm EST
Saturday's Round 2 Pools begin @ 4 PM EST
Saturday's Semi's begin @ 8 PM
Sunday's Finals begin @ 1130 PM...I guess I'll find out the results Monday morning.
Last year I was hoping for PG Punk but Tokido dashed that dream, this year my FM is on Fujimura and his Ibuki.
I'm also curious to see more info regarding the Kill la Kill fighting game, I enjoyed the show (guilty pleasure). and the whole Seifuku/ blood letting to acquire power thing will be an interesting game mechanic!




Venom Trailer #2

OK this trailer had grabbed my attention! It looks like Sony has learned what Venom really is.....thanks to Marvel's guiding hand.
I'm surprised they showed Venom Vs Riot scene with both Tom Hardy and Riz Ahmed clearly visable!
OK going to watch it again.

I'll post a video below to show how to complete the requirements for The Rumored Four Kings Statue.Go to Character Story Mode, Choose FANG, choose 1. Lair of the Four Kings vs M. Bison, beat him. Done.



After finishing the missions go tackle this weeks eXtra Battle Mode fights, this week there’s three.

  1. Laura's 4th [Q&I] Crossover Costume for 2,500 FM participation fee
  2. Upper Class Shadaloo Soldier for 1,000 FM participation fee

I also got around to completing Survival on Extreme with the new Survival mode and hit level 50 with my main! If you haven't touched Survival since the update I recommend giving it a go now...with the option to save and continue for 800 FM completing Survival on extreme is very doable now!



 
As always keep fighting the good fight. Be smart with your FM don't complain about the XBM golden soldiers and "Shin" versions of characters because the alternative is Capcom charging RM for all DLC characters.

Movie Review: A Prayer Before Dawn

I would probably have never seen this if it weren't for UPF.
Based on the book, based on the real life events of Billy Moore this is movie is an honest depiction of what it's like in a Thai Prison. This movie was a tough watch but I'm sure the real experience was even more horrifying.
If you've seen American History X you'll have an idea what you're in store for with this movie.
The cinematography in the movie does a good job of showing Billy's fucked up state of mind in certain scenes by use of motion blurring.

I hear Turkish prisons are nightmarish but this film does a phenomenal job of making Thai prisons a place I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy! This is not an easy film to watch but worthwhile if for no other reason than to show where drugs can end you up.

I think this movie would benefit some parents with bad ass kids that think they know it all.

Aquaman SDCC 2018 Trailer

I dunno, looks like Jason Mamoa is really taking this movie super seriously....Also there was an animated Aquaman movie that came out a few years ago that looks like they basically Ctrl C, Ctrl V'd the story from.
Black Panther might have armored Rhino's in Wakanda But Aquadude has Armored frikken Sharks!

SHAZAM SDCC Trailer

The DCEU NEEDS a movie like this! I'm not buying tix for this one on Fandango a month ahead of release but this lighthearted approach is SEVERLY missing in the DCEU and hopefully a sign of WB steering their ship out of stormy weather!

Godzilla King of the Monsters SDCC Trailer

For the most part I enjoyed Gareth Edwards Godzilla movie from 2014. I've loved Godzilla movies since I was a kid so yeah I'm excited for this sequel...and the TOHO sequel to their 2016 Shin Gojira film.....that was crazy!
So here's the trailer for next years Godzilla King of the Monsters!

Valkyria Chronicals 4 Opening Movie

VC4 is just over 2 months away September 25th, I'm excited to play it! I really enjoyed VC1 and this looks to FINALLY be a return to form. Sega released the opening movie for VC4 the other day, check it out below.



And for those complaining about the graphics, you obviously never played VC1....beauty is sometimes more than the images on the screen.
