The Great Big Update - Part 2

Toe Jam & Earl Gets Funded

I loved the original Toe Jam & Earl and it's no surprise then that I've played all three games. So when I learned that a kickstarter was going on to produce a new TJ&E game I was threw my cash in (well, enough to get the game at least). I'm so glad that it got funded and with a bunch of nice features added into the mix (mostly characters and skins). The promotional game video looks much like the original but with a more character cutout look to it and I like the style they've chosen. Best of all, the website for the game allows you to pre-order various merchandise to also help in funding. Very nice indeed.

The End Times - The End...

So the End Times have come and gone, my thoughts? Meh.

I guess it was alright or perhaps it was all the 9th edition rumors that lead to it not being as effecting me like it should of. To be truthful, the whole 'world ending into nothing' was a major disappointment. For me, it felt like this was the end of Warhammer, but for good. Games-Workshop will really need to pull off some amazing writing in order to convince fans to stay for this 'new' Warhammer. Perhaps later on I'll better explain myself. As for reviewing the final book in the novel series, I don't know.

DBZ: Battle Of Gods

So finally got around to watching this movie and it was enjoyable for the most part. Truthfully, it felt more like a collection of episodes as oppose to a movie, but it was still very enjoyable with a few funny moments in it. My only actual complain would be the animation/cinematography, mostly the fight scene. I don't like the digital scenes with the characters flying through the city. Something about that one in particular just didn't feel right and visually it felt so out of place, like they were just standing around and the city was moving instead. I don't know, but it just really annoyed me for some reason.

It also contained an extra showing snippets of the English voice recording sessions. Most might skip over that, but for me it's another insight into voice acting and what goes on. Should see if I can find more of these voice acting behind the scenes videos.

Projects

Yeah, not much has happened on this front. I'm trying to create a cobblestone style base for my next set of mouslings, but should have really looked up a few guides before trying to attempt it. As for GW miniatures, it's been real slow, partly due to heat, but mostly motivation. Partially blame GW for that with the downer this whole End Times event brought. I'm considering doing the other four remaining Empire Wizards (since they were fun to work on) and am still trying to find that Skaven Assassin with fighting claws for my Mordheim group, but again, more on that later.

Photography has also been up in the air (again depression/motivation), but lately the weather has been bad that I've been unable to go to a few of the places I have wanted to take photos at. Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll get that chance.

9th Edition

I won't talk anymore on 9th edition until I see anything more worth talking about. I've felt too much of a sting on this subject and I'll wait to see if GW can salvage it or hammer in it's final nail.
