Probably the most epic movie trailer I have ever seen.
Oh my god......Can I have this now?
I think after watching the trailer, Mel Gibson has redeemed himself from all that crazy nonsense he's been in......well in my opinion he has. The movie's concept reminds me of payback which was an awesome movie btw. I'm definitely going to watch this when it comes out.
and they're from Sweden.

After 3 days of playing, I have finally finished Brutal Legend. After many hours of playing the story and completing most of the side missions, I can officially say that I was not bored of this game at all. I am completely satisfied with everything about it. The Music, the dialogue, the animation, the gameplay. It's everything that I hoped for and at the same time there were many surprises.
The one thing I started to like about the game was the RTS parts. I really didn't expect that in an action adventure type of game but it really had me going.
Here's a quick breakdown of it:
Your stage (Your HQ) is built at the beginning of the battle and scattered around the battlefield are open chasms that gush out souls which later in the game you find out are fans. When you're in control, you are told to build "Merch Booths", which manages the amount of fans you need to build your main units. Your units are the basic melee fighters, ranged attackers and healers but that's not the end of it, you'll get more units as you proceed through out the game. The whole point of the Stage battles if to take down the enemy's stage while you control Eddie around the battlefield while at the same time you're constantly commanding your units to either attack the enemy or defend towers. Sound fun? Well anyways.....
I think I've spent a total of 6-8 hours playing the game but after beating it, you can do the side missions if you skipped them or collect everything in the game which isn't that hard thanks to Achievement hunters for making a map that shows where everything is at. Honestly, when you're playing the game, try to collect everything you see. It definitely pays off in the end. For those who are playing it....the ending is worth everything. I am completely satisfied with it.
Good Job! Double fine for making an absolutely fucking brilliant and epic game. I'll leave you with one of my favorite parts in the game.
In the video, a japanese show tricks a guy into thinking that he's being shot at by a sniper. Fucking priceless.

It's been a while since I've updated this blog, but I guess I should start again. I've neglected my dedicated work on updating about my life mainly because I never finish a project I set my mind to but on occasions I really do finish some projects I start.
For Example, just a week and a half ago (I think) I finished my third soldering project, First one being the pick ups on my old guitar and the second one was an LED flashlight I made using an altoids box.
This third project was on the very cheap Mayflash Arcade stick I bought on amazon.com and when I say cheap, I do mean cheap($30). The thing that convinced me to buy this stick was the lack of funds and the intriguing idea of learning how to play fighting games with stick. In my own opinion, learning to play on stick is pretty much how people learn how to drive manual. It's much better and overpowering in so many ways but I'd like to think of it as learning to play properly.
So after I received it in the mail (3 days of waiting), I finally was able to play KOFXII, SF2HD, MVC2 properly, or like the pros that play in tournaments like EVO. Unfortunately, I sucked big time on the arcade stick. I wasn't able to do certain moves, special moves and just play normally like I would on a controller. After much playtime on the arcade stick, I start to feel the balance of the joystick and how I would place my hands on my stick made a big difference on gameplay, but I wasn't happy. After much thought, I decide that I'd replace the joystick because I felt it was the cause of the problem and from reading the reviews on the stick that I bought, I was right about it; the stick sucked ass.
So I researched on how people modded their sticks and I found a great thread on Shoryuken.com dedicated solely to the Mayflash arcade stick.
So I ordered what was recommended for a joystick, which was the Sanwa JLF joystick which can be bought at Lizardlick.com.
NOTE: When you order, please allow lizardlick a week and half or so for shipping. They sell out of that stuff on the quick. VERY quick.
When I received it, I went straight to work and basically followed some simple guides like this one for example:
I also used this website, although its in french, if you translate it using google or babelfish, It's pretty easy to understand.
After 6 hours of work on soldering, it turned out to be one of the best arcade sticks I have ever played on. Every single move that I couldn't do on the original
stick was easily do-able on the new stick.
I was so proud of myself when I was done soldering, I didn't realize that I was up till 6am in the morning. =)
My Life felt complete but at the same time I craved for more, So I've decided to make a guide on my next project when I start replacing the original buttons with Sanwa replacements.
