2nd Anniversary of “See the Silence” Day

I hope all the Whovians out there celebrated “See the Silence” Day. I sure did.  I walked around with marks all over my arms and a lot of people looked at me like I was crazy.  It was a pretty fun day. 🙂  If you didn’t know or forgot, save this date for next year.

 

Apocalypse: The Briefing

Standard

Year: 0 Day: 12 After Apocalypse

Once in the camp, they took us to our quarters so we could rest for the night. they were small but had all the necessary things. Today morning they woke us up at dawn, and took us to the camp leader. He greeted us and asked us to sit, so we did. Soon after that, Jasmine walked in, and the camp leader started talking about how we helped her with her daughter, that without us who knows what would have happened to her. After he was done with that, Jasmine, the second in command, started to speak, she was telling us, now that we are part of the resistance, and how things work around camp. Rookies go through a series of briefings and tests for about a week, then they are placed in the area where they can help the most. There are four areas; medical, technological, development, and battle. Each one does what the name says. Medical helps the sick and wounded; technological, which also includes sciences, develops new devices and machinery to help out in the other areas; development helps to build new areas or sectors, and in case of attack or relocation it helps to rebuild, it also includes agriculture; and battle. They told us to go rest because briefings start tomorrow morning. So I spent some time getting to know the people and the area and now I’m on my way to my quarters to rest. We’ll see how all this goes tomorrow.

VIDEO: New Trailer for “The Wolverine” Features Much Mayhem in Japan

Opens July 26th

I can’t say I was too wild about the first solo Wolverine film, but the sequel, set in modern day Japan and due in theaters this summer, is starting to look pretty dang good, especially with the NINJA ON MOTORCYCLES and CRAZY SPEEDING TRAIN battles featured in this new international trailer made especially for Japanese audiences.

The Wolverine opens at your local popcorn emporium on July 26. And while Japan may have gotten this trailer with bonus footage before we did, they’ll have to wait until September 16th to see Wolverine: SAMURAI (as they are calling it there). But wasn’t Tom Cruise supposed to be The Last Samurai…..?

Me: This movie combines two of my favorite things.  Marvel comics (<3 wolverine) and Japanese fight scenes. I am so excited for this movie! >_<

A Visual Guide to Real World Inspirations for “One Piece” Faces

Standard

See the famous faces featured in Eiichiro Oda’s manga (from crunchyroll.com)

April 21, 2013 5:59pm
Even if he hadn’t stated as much, it would be unarguably evident that One Pieceauthor Eiichiro Oda draws inspiration from famous figures for many faces in his manga. In an outstanding new chart, a fan has drawn the connections.   While laudably well researched, generally accepted matches are mixed with some that offer room for debate. There is also some persistent fan talk not reflected (Boa Hancock being porn actress Sora Aoi, Jewelry Bonney being competitive eater Big Eater Sone).

Apocalypse: The Great Escape

Standard

Year: 0 Day: 11 After Apocalypse

It was time for the attack. About an hour before all the captives were notified about what was going to happen. They were instructed to help as they were asked, and as they were leaving the research facilities, they would be handed a knife with which they would have to make a cut through the mark on their hand and extract the tracker. We were only five minutes away and everything was going as planned. It was time, the brown robes entered with the food trays, carrying only water, bread, and some horrid goo. The hatches open, and just at that time we hear the first explosion, the brown robes ran out to see what is happening and not long after that the doors to the facilities opened and in came the resistance members holding a guard hostage. The guard opened the cells and we all ran out, they handed Jasmine a gun and she told them to give my group one as well. As we were escaping many brown robes tried to stop us, but they were outnumbered. Out of 500 captives 421 made it out, the others were either recaptured or killed. Luckily we made it out, and only the more experienced members of the resistance had to use their guns. Once outside, passed the fence we were handed knifes, now we had to cut the trackers out, and so we did. It was painful but necessary. They took us to trucks that they had waiting outside. Now we are on our way to their camp, and hopefully that means safety.
