SDCC Soul Calibur V Trailer

A tale of Souls and Swords eternally be told...
The next chapter in the Soul Calibur series takes place 17 years after SCIV and looks to pass the hilt to the next generation. We get a glimpse at some returning characters and some "new souls".
Looks like Sophitia had a son...Patroklos (1:30) who will be the main protagonist in SCV. The games newest antagonist appears to be the the guy with the crescent tattoo on his chest.
Funny how young Patroklos looks a helluva lot like young Siegfried....

SDCC10: Cosplay...Do or Do Not! There is no try!

With SDCC10 wrapping up today all the wonder and magic will be boxed up and stored away till next year. All the excitement of new video game and movie announcements is drawing to a close, and all the festivities are winding down, and the cosplayers are sheathing their swords, guns and staves, the paws and claws are coming off as well as the cosmetics, prosthetics and what ever else they've incorporated into their costumes.

I can appreciate the cosplayers that do it well but I feel obligated to share my feelings on those poor misguided souls that try and fail miserably, not the ones who intentionally fail, but those who honestly think they're doing it right.

Below is a collection of cosplayers....some doing it right, some not.

Here's some common sense rules to steer potential future cosplayers in the right direction.

1. Is your character physically fit? Are you physically fit?
2. Are you even slightly attractive? If your not perhaps a character with a mask is a good choice.

3. Do you have a thorough knowledge of your character you plan to Cosplay? Outfit, hairstyle, hair color, personality etc.

4. Is your character female? Are you?

5. Is your character old/young? Are you?

6. Can you operate a sewing machine?

7. Do you have any fashion sense at all?

8. Do you know someone skilled at applying cosmetics?

9. Do you know a skilled hair stylist?

10. Do you realize there is a difference between Halloween costumes and cosplay?

11. Be prepared to be ridiculed on the interwebs for all eternity if you suck

Many have tried few have succeeded at cosplay but there is one who has taken the hobby to another level, and I included some of her work in the pics in this post, I've also included a link to Yaya Han's website for all .

SDCC10: Street Fighter X Tekken rumor control

Yoshinori Ono just wrapped up the Street Fighter and Beyond Presentation at Comic Con and the rumor of a collabrative effort between Capcom and Namco to make a brand new cross platform fighter has been confirmed!
Capcom will be making Street Fighter X Tekken and Namco will be making Tekken X Street Fighter!
2010 has been an insane year for the fighting game genre!

SDCC10: Mega Man Universe Announced

The blue bomber has a new game coming to XBL and PSN! The trailer doesn't give too much info but from the Capcom panel my guess is that Mega Man Universe is going to be Capcoms version of LBP...just a guess.
The trailer does drop some possible hints, like 1:31 on the clock could be a date. Being able to create your own robot masters and levels then uploading them for the rest of the world would be cool.
I got dibs on Hentai Man!

SDCC10: RED trailer

Anyone ever tell you to respect your elders? Here's why...some of them old fart can still bust your ass, just look at Epic Beard Man!
The AARP showed up at Comic Con this year to support this movie! Nothing ground breaking here, Willis is kick ass as expected, looks like he's channeling John McClane, Malkovich is awesome, Freeman looks great in the Napolean outfit..WTF! Dreyfus and Hellen Mirren are great additions that round out this cast of old folks blowin shit up!

SDCC10: Tron Legacy Trailer

I was 9 when the original Tron hit theaters, and I haven't seen it since. At the time the special effects were ground breaking, the story although cheesey was actually quite innovative and a bit ahead of it's time considering the technology at that time.
If you read a plot synopsis of 1982's Tron you can see strong similarities to movie's today like Gamer, The Matrix, Surogates, Avatar and others.
Basically Jeff Bridges is the first person to play an online game! He became an avatar of his RL persona!
I don't expect Tron Legacy to be as revolutionary as the original but the recently released trailer does look exciting.
