CPT 2019 Bundle Announced

So Capcom just announced the 2019 CPT bundle, I'm not gonna go through all the stuff in the announcement, I'm just gonna talk briefly about Sagat's CPT DLC costume. It caught my eye immediately, I like the outfit but not for Sagat. I’m sorry but between the dew rag and the facial hair he looks more like Shaft than Sagat! About an hour later it dawned on me, that Sagat’s CPT 2019 costume isn’t new at all! It’s about 11 years old, it’s a revised iteration of  a SFIV concept character; King Cobra by Daigo Ikeno.


Now compare the above concept artwork to Sagat’s CPT 2019 DLC costume!



Now the new CPT stage the Ring of Justice looks good but again I feel it’s just a revised version of SFIV’s Skyscaper Under Construction stage, see for yourself.

SSFIV












SFV: AE











I’m not complaining, hell it’s kinda cool if it is the same stage just from a different perspective.

I've seen many people complaining about the cost of the DLC and I don't think many realize it's the exact same price points as last year! We're actually getting 5,000 more FM. The only thing that isn't mentioned is the "Access to Exclusive Special Targets".

Another week with no worthwhile FM missions or XBM... Time to start hiding your FM under the mattress yall! This FM recession is actually a FM depression at this point!! a thing, if nothing is announced at EVO Japan this weekend it's gonna be another month till Final Round, if they announce new DLC with no news about FM then I fear the FGC might rebel, and the ONLY way to rebel that will send a clear message is with our wallets! DO NOT BUY ANY SEASON 4 DLC!

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

G1 Transformers Rock Band, Cybertronic Spree cover Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song

Folks, I've traveled from one side of the internet to the other. I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen anything to make me believe there's one all-powerful video that rules everything. There's no mystical video that controls my destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense....
 I've now witnessed the the best mankind can be!

 TILL ALL ARE ONE!!!!

Denis Villeneuve’s Dune 2020

I have a copy of the extended version of 1984's Dune by David Lynch on VHS somewhere at my mothers. I never read the novel but my friend CJ introduced the sci fi story to me and I enjoyed it.....the film was a bit clunky in parts and the special effects weren't that special but the story was fascinating and I did enjoy it overall.
So now Denis Villeneuve is re creating this cult classic and I have complete faith this 21st Dune will not only be faithful to the source material it might eclipse the Disney sequel trilogy. I might be in the minority but I absolutely loved 2017's Bladerunner 2049 by Villeneuve.
And the cast for Dune 2020 is crammed with so many A-listers! Jason Mamoa, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, Oscar Isaac, Dave Bautista, Stellan Scarsgard...
I'll keep an eye on this film!

Transformers War for Cybertron Netflix series

It was announced yesterday that a new Transformers series will be coming to Netflix next year and it will focus on the war on Cybertron. The team from Rooster Teeth that did TF: Prime along with Polygon Pictures in charge of animation and DeSanto as showrunner indicates this show will not only have incredible visuals, the story is gonna be satisfying for fans like myself that grew up on G1 and kids my sons age that were introduced to the franchise via Rescue bots, Robots in disguise, TF Prime and the recent Machinima series Power of the Primes!

 I hope the series delves deep into the politics that were hinted at in Transformers Prime.



I also hope we see Cybertron pre war and perhaps the Qintisons....perhaps we can infuse some popular conspiracy theories about our government into this story!

Here's the offical synopsis:

 “In this Transformers origin story, we will explore the expansive universe of Cybertron in a way that audiences have never seen before - to the delight of both existing fans and those coming to the franchise for the first time,” said John Derderian, Director of Anime for Netflix. “The Transformers brand is a global phenomenon and we are thrilled to partner with Hasbro, Rooster Teeth and Polygon to bring this exciting new series to our members around the world on Netflix.”

BloodStained Release Date Trailer

A release "window" has appeared! I was starting to wonder i this was going to become vaporware...
I'm the first to say I'd rather wait for a great game then get mediocrity sooner, I pray this game doesn't end up like Mighty #9.....I had such high hopes for that but alas it just wasn't Megaman's successor.....
That little clip at the end gives me hope that Bloodstained will deliver the goods!
