It continues!

The greatest fictional band EVER, returns to the Adult Swim 4-29-12!
Thank the metal gods that Metalocalypse is finally back for a new season! I'll have something to finally watch on Adult Swim again.
Looks like I'll be breaking out the DVD seasons the next few weeks in preparation for the continuing Metalocalypse!

A great show and even better if you like all things metal!

Now they need to get on that next season of Venture Brothers! Then all will be right with the world again.

Another Friday and another great film!

There are good movies and bad movies. Then there are the good-bad movies or some call them guilty pleasures or cult movies. Friday we sat down to eat pizza and watch a good-bad movie. Well instead of going to the well for a usual (Clash of Titans 1981, Flash Gordon, something Riddick/Vin Diesel related, Critters, Tremors, Evil Dead 2 etc.) we opted for the On Demand. I saw the Immortals was only like $4 and I remember it looking awful, but maybe it was the good kind of awful.

It was not!

This was some sort of 300 new Clash of the Titans mash-up and it was not a good one. The story is about Theseus, the guy who killed the minotaur in mythology, and some conflict with King Hyperion. It could also be billed as new Superman vs. Marv with some other stuft too!

Happy Easter!

 Easter is here and done! After a late breakfast and eating of too many chocolate treats Manders and myself decorated eggs. While hers are more of the glitter variety, mine have a more 40K feel for some reason.

We have an egg dedicated to WAAAGH! Nazdr-EGG
There is something about spring, bunnies and eggs that reminds me of Slaanesh for some reason.
This egg cracked so it became an icon for  the blood god! The crack was due to all the angry pent up inside!
Finally we have an egg "For jellies chocolate and for Dorn!"

Now to slip into a post sugar coma until later today!

Happy Easter everyone!

Have you seen this unit? 21.1

An extension of the previous post about the Weirdboyz.

There is one Orc psyker feared above all others, Old Zogwort. He is the most powerful of all Ork psykers! He has a back ground that reminds me of some folk legend like Paul Bunyan, John Henry or Pecos Bill.

Cue old timey folk music...............

He was born under a total eclipse in a nest of snakes and they didn't kill him. He fought them as a baby ork and killed them. From that point on no snake would dare bite him again.As he grew so did his orky psy powers. Eventually he was melting faces, firing green lightning everywhere and destroying whole regiments of Imperials. He then took to the stars seeking out and following WAAAGH! energy in its purest form, during ork invasions.

Have you seen this unit? part 21

The majority of the 40K universe has some sort of psychic talent, spell caster, or brain savant. This is true even for the “dumbest” of the races, the Orks. It seems that orks tend to generate a bit of psy energy. If a ton of orks get together, then there is a lot of this energy floating about. There are certain orks that can ground this energy and even channel it, they are the Weirdboyz.

Ork psykers seem like an oxymoron don’t they? The codex has them as an HQ choice and they are pretty cheap, but are they effective? Since nobody seems to really use them, I’m guessing no.

Bought myself early birthday stuff

Sure my birthday is a about two weeks out, but I still bought myself stuff. I grabbed a Annihilation Barge off the interweb and a few new pairs of kicks.
I love me some Chuck Taylors and when I saw Mr. Freeze in Chucks form I had to grab them. Yeah I'm a Marvel guy, but Mr. Freeze has a spot in my list of villains. Guess it is the semi-cyborg cold ray shooting bit.

Also grabbed a pair of the Gorillaz limited ed. Chucks as well. Why? I liked the look and 19-2000 is a great song!

Now to probably start on a Annihilation Barge instead of tweaking warrior guns.

Forced myself through X-Men 1st Class

I am a ridiculous Marvel fanboy. I have and will probably always be one. The X-Men being my favorites in the Marvel universe.That said I passed on X-men First Class when it hit the theaters. Why? Well with the horrid X-men 3 and the equally vomit inducing Wolverine Origins, I became disenfranchised with my merry mutants movies (alliteration is awesome).

With a free Cinemax weekend I say that X-men First Class was on, well since it was essentially free I forced myself to watch it. Needless to say once it was over, I was mad at myself for watching it.

A quick disclaimer.....if you know nothing or very little of the X-men then you will and probably did like this film.

I figure I'll save the review since most people have seen this already. I'll just cover what I think the hits and misses of the film were, or the stuff I liked and nerd raged about.

The Good Stuff

The Xavier/ Eric Lehnserr dynamic was good. They played off each other very well.

If this was a stand alone about the characters of Professor X and Magneto it would have been a much better film.

It had a nice 60's look and did alright as a "period" piece.
