Jumping in Headfirst

I have absolutely no amusing title to open with. No big, huge commentary to make. I've been meaning to talk about DC's latest event, Flashpoint, and what I hoped would come from it... But it looks like DC beat me to the punch . A complete renumbering of the entire DC Universe line. Then simultaneously announcing day and date releases for...their entire DC Universe line. I'm going to need more information to understand exactly where this is going, and how much I care. It sounds like a total reset...but no one's SAID that. Just renumbering. In the future we'll be told more about what all this means, but right now? I'm, still in complete and total shock. I think Action Comics and Detective Comics should stay @ their-so-close-to-1000-you-could-sneeze numbers, but other than that? I approve, DC.

And it's from the PSP? *sighs* Oh well. For those who haven't heard--the newest project Sony is working on is called the PSP Remaster , which will be a series of titles on Sony's portable console being ported to the PS3. Each game will be released on Blu-ray disc, rendered in HD graphics and given full DualShock 3 controls. Check out one of the first titles to be remastered, MHP3rd: For me, the Remaster series has the potential to be one of the coolest things I've seen as a gamer since the PS1. The truth is, today's next-gen games generally bore me to tears. And while the DS and PSP have both had great games to come out for them, I usually prefer my console over anything else, and the gorgeous visuals that come with them. Annoyed as I was to see Lunar redone for the PSP, if I saw one of my most favorite universes EVER rendered in HD, I'd probably plotz. Here's some of the titles I hope we get to see Remastered (and brought to America): Star Ocean: Fi...

As Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger edges closer to finishing the first third of it's series, everyone's attention is taken off the main cast and to the inevitable appearance of the new warrior adding himself to the team's ranks, the sixth team member--GoukaiSilver. Admittedly, this has been one of the most poorly kept secrets in Toku in years, with the character having been confirmed at least since the first episode aired back in February. Even his power-up mode, and the fact that said power-up would have all the previous extra Senshi's helmets on the chest, was confirmed ages ago. Yeah. I didn't get that wrong. GoukaiSilver's power-up, "Gold Mode", has the helmets of all the previous "extra" Senshi on it's chest. Check the picture below. As someone who thinks the need for "realism" in EVERY FREAKING THING EVER is misplaced, I have to respect Tokusatsu's willingness to eschew that and embrace the inherent insanity in the genre....

All jokes and trolling aside: I love this song.

I saw this at Henshin Justice Unlimited something like a year or so ago, and forgot about it. But it popped back in my head after a friend of mine posted a fanvideo on FB. It's a decent trailer, with the full fan video coming out hopefully in time for SDCC later this month.

So, after nearly three years off the air, finally Torchwood returns. Ironically enough, to tell a story where "nobody dies". Except it's RTD behind this, so I'll believe that when I see it. Still, Children of Earth affords the man more than a little leeway. Torchwood: Miracle Day, a ten-part mini-series, starts airing on July 8th on STARZ.

No comments. Just finish the trailer. Trust me.
