The Nanoblock Kirby: a rant

 After 3 hours... had to disassemble and reassemble him twice. Because the instructions aren't clear. 

If you're a masochist or need cheap action figure scale bocks, then get nanoblock stuff.

You will end up with plenty of spare bricks:

Here's Kirby:

2 tweezers are required especially for brick separation... I don't have the patience for building block stuff this small.

Aw hell naw!

It WAS going to come out the Toy Chest: Nanoblock Kirby

 

But I need Motherfucking tweezers and painters tape.

No, really... these fuckers are Duplo bricks for Action figures.

I didn't think they were gonna be THAT small. They're like ⅛ of a LEGO. I won't make a joke about the Japanese being Smaller... but damn...

I'll circle back to these in November once I get some tweezers... anyway Happy Halloween!

Why no one told me there was a Chrono Trigger on Android?

 I have been bitching about Chrono Trigger and Xenogears been relegated to the past.

Well, it's on Android. Got it for $10. Apparently I can use bluetooth controllers... will need them for the Johnny race in the future... for me not the game... even though... nevermind.

Apparently it has the PS1 Anime scenes...

Here's a sample made by a YouTuber of its gameplay. Will review it after I get the first ending.

Just preordered the MOTU Game

 This kinda slipped past my radar.

Big collector's edition... Physical game... got it for PS5... the standard edition... I should clarify.

February 4, 2027 is the release date... if there isn't a delay. The window for physocal is closing...

Todd is dabbling into other games

 He's setting up preorders for this Thursday:

I may try to preorder Zeus... because I already have Jesus... that Kratos feels too chill for Kratos, you know? 

But while we're at it, Perseus, Todd!! Hell, forget GoW Perseus, go for Clash of the Titans... the good one, not the one with Liam  Neeson

Street Fighter 2026: The movie: The rant:

 Saw it... and I have thoughts:

Where do I start:

It sucked... but it didn't suck. It's not a so bad It's good movie. Technically speaking is more faithful to the lore and at the same time it isn't. 

The movie goes into the overarching Bison wants Ryu's Satsui no Hadou story than purely SF2.

We got Guile's Theme, Ryu's theme, and The Character select theme... We got the He-Man song...

A few times during the movie.

Mr. Dalmatianchan did a decent job with Bison... He is no Raúl Juliá, but was way better than Neil McDonough.

Also, he did the thing:

There's a reference to the Chun Li Shower scene from the Animated SF movie...

Guile's car is based on the Animated movie... I don't think they referenced the animated series... but there's some images from Super SFII Turbo recreated in the movie.

The plot starts with Animated SF1 flashbacks with Sagat being animated.

The movie is a love letter to Street Fighter slightly Hollywoodized.

The toys already spoiled Evil Ryu...

I Hated the Ending... but overall, I enjoyed the movie... Guile doesn't do much... but Cody Rhodes was a million times better than JCVD.

This new Chun Li was decent, but I prefer Ming Na... I prefer Kylie Minogue's Cammy over the new one...

It's on par with 1994... though I prefer 94 a bit more. I will probably see it again... not as many times as He-Man, but I will buy it physical.

Why the fuck a Ken centric movie lacks his theme or at least they should've gotten Mighty Wings!

NYCC has Storm Arena stuff

 Darkstalkers are my main priority. 

Felicia and Viktor may be wave 2 while Anakaris and Jedah may be wave 3. 

Not bad... not bad... will they do the whole roster? Most likely not.

Modern gaming and preservation

 Does it even make sense? My PS4 is 10 years old and has gone through 3 HDDs and now between AI and hardware getting discontinued, I may have a paperweight... so will the PS5... that's scary, yo! 

With Sony going digital and storage drives being well, a bitch to get... it's gonna be an uphill battle to preserve games. 

Nintendo is also strong on the anti-preservation movement...

The least evil for now, but still evil is still Microsoft... literally WTF? Better graphics and features is the new dark ages. Nope! I stand corrected. Microsoft got to new levels of evil:

Pausing gameplay for ads.

Spying on peope to count heads in order to bill users if there's too many people in the room.

This is what pushes people to

It stinks when third parties scalp us, but when the companies are nickel and diming us, that's a load of bullshit.

Thinking on the McFarlane Lara and other games

 The Lara could use some extra accessories... via weapons pack: 

Medipacks

Flare box

Other weapons

Key items from past games (dagger of Xian, the Scion, save crystal)

But Todd could, I dunno work with other game makers *cough* Konami *cough* to get Castlevania and MGS... 

In both cases deluxe and basic figures paired with accessory packs.

Sega's Altered Beast made by McFarlane would be amazeballs... 

Bloody Roar would look cool too.

Battle Arena Toshinden doesn't get that much love...

Not gonna mention this...

Variable Geo would give Todd the ick... and I don't think the west is ready for a toyline based on a fighting eroge.

Mcfarlane does Lara...

 Surprised he chose a line with a female lead since girls have cooties according to him.

I dunno but doesn't it feel like McFarlane just copied Hasbro and made the copy crappy?

At least Hasbro added lore shit combining Classic with NuLara. Lara needs 2 picks to climb. Buut there is only One reason to get the Todd Lara:

Tom Holland.

Really? What in the Hideo Kojima is this bullshit?

 Nicholas Winding Refn died and came back to life 25 minutes after.

Yes, the guy who mocapped for Heartman was dead about the same time as his character and brought back to life...

I can't even... now we need Norman Reedus doing Doordash or Uber Eats.

Sony's new patent is problematic

 DualSense conteollers being able to tap pay is evil. This is allowing illegal purchases by kids tapping their parents credit cards to the controller. This is so messed up. This isn't to make things easier for customers.

I'm not feeling Ravenous

 Feels too much like Metroid Dread.

Not a baaad thing but... it's not like I NEEDS TO GET A SWITCH 2 for it... anyways, I mentioned it because I hadn't earlier... Zero Suit Samus, Hasbro, when?

Kojima has been given the Boot by Sony

 They seem to be loving taking L after L.

XBOX is now partners with Kojima to bring Physint to life... 

As much as I have gripes regarding Kojima and his ego, having a new Metal Gear styled game is printing money. I'm guessing this is payback for Kojima defending physical media.

I fear that post 2028 might mean I end up getting an XboX...

More Zelda News:

 Hasbro will be selling the Master Sword as a role play toy.

It has electronics... but you know what we need? A Role Play non-functional Electronic Ocarina that plays the OoT songs...

IGN has a list of changes from N64 to Switch 2 versions of Ocarina based on what Nintendo revealed. Coolest one to me is that you can hum or play real life instruments and the game will recognize the songs.

You know you thought of that too...

Unlike Squareenix, Nintendo understood the assignament

 To the point where I MAY get a Switch 2 post 2028.

There is nothing I can say that would make the trailer Justice... looks like Ocarina of Time, sounds like Ocarina of Time, but with graphical upgrades and voice acting. All in One game... not a Young Link game with an Adult Link sequel on the Switch 3.

It came from the Toy Chest: This isn't M.Tyson.

 It's a Boxer played by 50 cent. I forgot to tale the boxed pic long ago...

So, Balrog, the last Shadaloo King.

He's the Disgraced Boxer who joined Bison to beat people up for fun... 

Articulation:

We know what to expect from Jada... he's well articulated. Waist twist scares me a little, though.

4.5

Paint and sculpt:

He looks the part and most of him is molded in the proper color.
His missing tooth is a void innthe sculpt and not paint.

5.0

Accessories:

Alternate head

Alternate hands

Punch effects

5.0

Overall:

Boxer gets a 4.83 as his final score. If his waist twist didn't give me a scare that it's so tight it might break he'd be perfect.

Bonus review:

Logan Paul basic figure. Yeah, I bought a $20 basic figure... curse mom and pop pharmacy prices. Some insufferable little shit YouTuber turned wrestler.

Articulation:

He's basically the equivalent to Rey Mysterio from the Lucha Lowrider... but with a different body. Same articulation as the Kid Core MOTU.

4.0

Paint and sculpt:

Looks like Logan Paul but with less paint detail.

4.5

Accessories:

N/A

OVERALL:

Logan Paul gets a 4.25 as his final score. I disagree with the math, but the math don't lie.

Street Fighter 2nd Trailer

 Has Dan, Zangief, Dhalsim stretching, E.Honda and hints of Evil Ryu.

Holy shit! We have another Masters of the Universe here... there I said it. Won't be Assassin's Fist good but better than the 94 movie Minus Raúl Juliá. Also, trailer was relased on a Tuesday.

Elon Musk won't play GTA6

 Elon Musk says he won't play GTA6 Because he doesn't like to kill NPCs, much less the police.

This is just as stupid as the women Claiming GTA6 = adultery. Seriously, is there something in the water that is making people absolute morons... playing a crime simulator game and getting mad at the game having the player commit crimes...

I can't even...

Stupidest thing ever: playing GTA6 = Cheating on youe partner.

 I don't know if this is ragebait or if this is women being stupid... not all women.

But this has caught IGN's attention, which in turn caught mine. 

Seriously, what the actual fuck? Women are jealous of polygons, pixels. Zeroes and ones...

What's worse is that to look for that clip, Blogger ignored my query and looked for other stuff... when I went to YouTube it put me on a suicide help screen that wouldn't go away despite me clicking the Show anyway button.

So
