Yay
I recently got hooked on watching pro StarCraft 2 games on YouTube and after going over few dozen of them i decided it will be cool if i go back to actually playing the game. It has been a very very long time since i last played. Apperantly there is a new season going on now and some updates to the Icons for the league ladders. Not to mention bunch of patches and updates to the balance of the game. So hey when it came out i played for a short period of time but i played it alot. I wasnt super good at it but i still had my SC1 skills and i had an almost 50-50% win-lose ratio. Now im getting back to the game and im totally out of it. Ive been trying some games today and i just get completely owned. I have this huge macro economy and always have tons of money and i cant seem to be able to get rid of it and byuild up my army. Even with superior economy when the big battle comes my enemy always has more units. Its just so annoying.
I know its been along time but can i really lose my skills completely?
It just doesnt seem real. Im very frustrated and dissapointed right now X_X I wonder if i sit down in my free time and really commit....will i be able to return to my previous shape or even get better? Or perhaps i should just stick to watching pro games and eat french fries.
Magic The Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers
Got it couple of days ago on Steam. It was a cheap deal for the core game and the 3 expansions. And ofc i used to play the TCG as a kid so i thought. Hey lets see what this is all about. I red some great reviews of the game on the internet and soon enough i bought it.
The game is awesome. It feels exactly like playing it on a table with cards. Great interface, great gameplay. There is this one issue i have with the times where you can cast instant spells. As it is an instant you should be able to cast it wherever you like. But the duels are designed in such a way that you in-fact have certain situations where the game wont allow you to do so. Once you learn the restriction tho you can fix your style around it and avoid any troubles. But it is still frustrating. Also the game ends your phases even if you still have stuff you can do. So again you need to be carefull how you drop your cards in order to avoid triggering the attack phase. But except these slight mistakes by the developers the game is brilliant. Oh yeah you cant actually build your own decks but you can unlock more cards for the decks you play by winning games. I guess the reason behind this is when you play online you wont get pro players dominating with insane deck combos. At least this way everybody has pretty much equal chances. Im yet to unlock all decks or upgrade them to the max but so far everything seems pretty balanced out. I personally play a cute blue/black artifact deck and im loving it. Alot of the cards in the deck are from Mirrodin which is the set with which i started playing mtG so its kinda cool. Certainly brings back memories. Im saw a knew Duels is coming next month but ill still finish all the challanges and campaign missions. Its just a great fun and a good time killer. And at least i dont get stressed the way i do playing SC2 X_X
Bottom line: If you are a MtG fan. BUY THIS GAME! (and get the expansion combo deal as it saves you alot of cash)
Die2Nite
My town is up to day 19. We are having a spike today but we will handle it. Then tommorow we will be safe and hopefully day 21 will be mercyfull. We got amazing 3 day in a roll winds in the east. So we got some great replenishements there. And also we have a trench and a car park in the east. But we did not get too many DOs. Nevertheless surviving until day 25 still seems possible. We got this player called klakk and he has been kind of annoying on the forums. I guess the guy is just quite bored at this point. Sigh . . . but no matter how i hate him for the spams in the forum that is no reason to hang the dude.
The Hangover Part 2
Saw the movie on Sunday night. It was really hard to get a ticket for it!!! Friday and Saturdays got totally sold out. It was crazy. After the awesomeness of the 1st movie i was not surprised at all to see the huge interest for the sequel but still i was slightly annoyed for not being able to watch it on friday X_X
The sequel was EPIC! I mean this is totally going to be the best comedy of 2011 just as part 1 was the best comedy of 2009. If you want to have a good laugh this is the movie to watch. There couple of moments where people will have serious trouble breathing :D
Now if i have to be completely honest it did feel like the script writers had some trouble moving the story from chapter to chapter. I know you need a break from the comedy but the way it was done didnt feel very natural. On the contrary it looked forceful. Still the amazing acting that all the guys from the wolfpack did was the thing that made this movie good. The guys just have such an amazing chemestry on the screen. And Zach is soooo good he doesnt even need to speak in order to make you laugh.
Towards the end of the movie i got a bit nerveous. I knew Mike Tyson was coming back and i was like....wtf...where is Mikey? And then when he finally showed his face up i was like HOLY SHIT! ROFL :D
It was an unexpected way of doing it. In a way it was cool to have Mikey in the movie but on the other hand....i just know the only reason he did it is because he is kinda broke. I know it sounds silly but yeah....Mike Tyson is broke X_X. So that extra income came pretty handy for the ex-champion.
Anyway. Go watch the movie you wont regret it. Seriously i love the wolfpack so much im going to give it a
10/10! I know its not THE PERFECT movie but hell. . . . this is a movie you can watch again and again and it just wont get old. Im soo buying this when it comes out on Blue-Ray!

Life in the Wasteland
Life in the Wasteland is hard.
I have been trying to get myself a nice big crew to play with in D2N but its hard. The social aspect of the game makes it really hard to keep people around. I am finding myself replacing team members after each town. Some because of a fall in, others simply decide to go in a different direction and some just had their real life be in the way of their gaming and couldnt be with us anymore. Either way it is hard. One of the first people i recruited a girl from the US wont be with me and my crew in the next town. Lately her annoying bitch attitude forced me to re-think her role in the team and whatever it was worth it keeping her around.
And the answer is NO. When other crews state that they would like to team up for future towns but dont like her that is becoming quite troublesome for me. And i wont pass up on good coalitions just because of her. She had 30 days to fix her attitude towards other citizens but failed to do so. So im letting her go.
My current town is doing prety good. We are a bit behind on our defensive objects quota but that is life in the dessert. Sometimes you find alot of good stuff sometimes you dont.
Its day 12 now. Im confident we can make it to at least day 20. The Big Rebuild should get completed soon which will give us a nice DEF. bonus. We are kinda low on nuts and bolts which is quite a surprise for me since we have plenty of scavengers searching the dessert each day. I myself due to my heavy training schedule cannot auto-search alot and sometimes at all but such is life. :X
FITNESS
After my training today me and my coach did a quick measurement check to see how much i have grown since last time.
So in 2 months and 2 days i gained 7kg. My biceps got 4cm bigger. The chest also got 4cm bigger and the thigh got 5cm. ofc waist and other small muscles got bigger too my back is wider and etc but we just did a quick check. So yeah big improvement. I was surprised to be honest. And i dont see the difference in my arms so i dont know.....maybe its due to the fact that my whole body is growing and even tho im bigger the proportions are the same as when i used to be skinny. Still great results. I think ive been training for about 6 months now with some days off due to work and stuff. So yeah im happy. As long as im improving ill keep up the hardwork and hopefully ill get even fitter.

CINEMA
Also id like to say that the new Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is a HORRIBLE MOVIE! Dont get me wrong Johnny Depp did a great job as Jack Sparrow but one guy doesnt make a movie. And when everything else in the movie sucks its hard to compensate. The story was poor. The dialog was bad. The locations were boring and it was obvious that they didnt invest alot of money in the project. This is just money milking from studio. Minimum investement maximum return. It is working as currently the movie is topping the box office with what im seeing on imdb.com as 90 million!!! I mean girls are flocking the theatres to drool over mr. Depp! But still i think the movie was a disaster. I liked the previous instalments but this is just......it is not offten when i give very low rating for movies. But this is 3 out of 10. It was so dissapointing i dont even know how to trash talk it....its not even worth it.
So bottom line...if you have anything else to do....anything at all...do that and spare yourself the brain damage that you would otherwise receive from seeing the 4th pirates movie!

10 Months. . . It IS a long time!
Okay yay. . . . . my last post here was around 10 months ago!!!
YAY. Time sure flies fast. Seriously looking at my StarCraft 2 post . . . . i mean i remember that day as it happened yesterday. Im amazed how fast time flies! Especially after new year. Since then i just cant believe it . . .
I guess thats the problem with having a very persistent lifestyle. The majority of my days have been pretty much the same and even tho interesting and crazy things do happen to me they are still somehow fitted in my daily routines.
This feels slightly weird.
It has been such a long time since i last posted here. Its facebook`s fault really. The super fast updates and quick picture upload is truly a dreadfull thing for every blogger. And its so much easier to share information with people. But i have been away from Facebook for awhile now.
I got a bit sick of it. I admit i am thinking of going back but i still feel i need a bit more time away from the site.
I was clearing up my blog for half an hour. Had to delete like 700 spam msgs. Lord for a small time blogger like me im surprised to see that much trash being constantly posted here by bots and spammers and viagra merchants. X_X
Cleared up my menu aswell.
1) I removed the cute asian girls slideshow. It was cool but the idea doesnt seem that entertaining anymore.
2) Cleared my contact list from blogs of people i no longer visit or have no interest in following.
3) Re-did my Favorites. After all in 10 months my most visited web sites did change...but not much xD And the ones i still visit but not much i transferred to the "Other Sites" category.
4) Updated the book im reading. I finished couple of books in those months and right now im not really reading anything per say. . . . but "Fall of Damnos" is one of the 3 books i have lined up and since i updated it on the site i guess ill start with it.
5) Changed my profile Avatar. Lil tribute to One Piece. Which 10 months since last time i wrote here is still my favorite manga. (my collection has grown alot too).
I saw the Walking with Dinosaurs show yesterday. It was amazing. Got some awesome Videos and couple of low quality picture. It really is too dark during these events to make a good shot X_X At least not with an average pocket camera. But i dont feel like investing into a proper one anytime soon.
I knew the Dinosaurs were animatronix but JESUS . . . . they looked SOOOO DAMN REAL!
There was no surprise there at all when all the kids were freaking out and getting scared and excited. The show was an amazing experience and if it ever comes your way make it your job to get your family there and see it. Its well worth the money!Been training hard in the gym these past months. Got from 69kg to 81 in about 5 months and altho im far from being a beefy hunk im pretty fit and in a very good shape. The only drawback here is i had to replace a good deal of my wardrobe to account for my bigger frame. Especially pants. God my lefgs grew so fast X_X I`ve been rapidly increasing the weights during my leg workouts. 2 of the top exercises i do are currently with 110 and 200 kgs!!! And i started with 20/60! Talk about improvement. The Chest and Shoulders beefed up too but my arms are kinda slow to progress. But my coach has switched my training in order to work them biceps and triceps more.
On 3rd of may i started training Brazilian Jiu Jutsu under Prof. Paulo Guimaraes in his city dojo. The experience has been mind blowing. The trainign is hard and since i take double classes everday i get to work and home devastated. It will take perhaps some months before my body gets used to the routines. Besides my astma doesnt really help my case. Still i am motivated and will try to get my blue belt as fast as possible.
Im even thinking of starting piano lessons in the weekends. But im still thinking about that. My schedule is busy as it is. And then there is the motorcycle thing. . . . im kinda divided between a new car or a motor for my birthday. Well see how i feel about it as september approaches.
As you can see from my favorites list ive been visiting a site called Die2Nite alot. Thats not a suicide website dont freak out, its in fact a zombie post apocaliptic game that i have been playing for little over 2 months now. its really awesome and very intense. Its hard and requares alot of social skills. That and the escapist magazine are the first 2 things i do when i get online. I guess ill have to add Facebook to the list when i get back. I did spent an awful lot of time on FB before i took my leave.
At the time of me quitting Facebook i did a major clearing of my skype account too. Had so many people i dont even remember. Or in-active accounts. Or people i no longer feel like i want to keep in touch with. Everything useless or old and forgotten got deleted. Which sadly really reduced my Friend List to a handfull of people. But hey quality over quantity right? :P
My comic book/manga library has grown quite large and im very proud of it.
Gaming wise i havent had much time to play hardcore. I do enjoy occasional gaming hour on my PS3 at work. But in home even tho now i own an Alienware desktop...oh yeah... (I GOT AN ALIENWARE DESKTOP!) So as i was saying even tho i have an awesome gaming rig now (costed me 3,000AU$) i dont have much time to play. It was casual WoW for a long time and then Shogun 2 came out and i got the uber collector edition which requared me to get Steam. . . . .thinking about it i should have gotten steam a long time ago. But i realised due to my World Of Warcraft dedication i have had missed out on a few dozen amazing games. But now its kinda late with work and the gym and my BJJ training its really hard to catch up with games. Still i got some nice shiny games on my Steam account. Also i fancy the idea of being able to download them wherever i am to whatever PC i want. So even if i go back to Europe i can get my gaming on relatively quickly. And will save me the trouble of mailing boxes of games and paying who knows how much $$$ to the PO!
I have a big crush on the UFC now. I am truly a fan now. Heh UFC....its amazing what kind of interests i harbor in me. So yeah big UFC fan. Went to their event in Sydney in February, Diamond ringside ticket :D It was ana amazing experience. I was sitting next to Ryan Bader who turned out to be such a great and friendly guy. And watching the fights so close.....amazing i could feel every punch. every takedown. the athmosphere was unbelievable. I hope one day i can visit the UFC in USA and see some of the major title fights between legendary fighters like GSP, Anderson Silva and Dominic Cruz. The UFC was one of the reasons i chose to train BJJ too.
Erhm im getting kinda hungry right now so ill go ahead and stop annoying whoever is reading this with my personal crap :D Still thx for reading ^_^
Maybe ill see you soon. . . . or maybe it will be after another 10 months. I really cant say.
Dont Die2Nite and
May The Force Be With You!

StarCraft 2: The Campaign
DID YOU KNOW? Turns out you cant get achievements if you are not logged in Battle.net!Hey guys 4 days later and and awful lot of playing of Star Craft 2: Wings of Liberty i can finally write my review. Not that there was any doubt that this game will be AWESOME! But still from the first hour of playign i already wanted to talk about it.
So....i got back home on 27 july i open sadly my normal edition of the game and i start installing right away. While installing im enjoying the wonderfull re-cap of the original game and whats been going on that led to the story in SC2. the game is done installing i download the patches and quickly get started.
Now first what i wanna point out is that the game and the battle.net systems are integrated together! There is a offline mode which if you fail t o log in to the internet will be available but i havent tried it. The menu is absolutely gorgeous shit the whole design of the game and battle.net are amazing and just hype you upp straight away.
I ignored the online battles and jumped straight into the action.
Lucky for me i had alot of exp with the old SC and some other RTS games so i managed to pull everything pretty quick. Even tho there new units and stuff the game feels surprisingly the same. Mayeb i just spent too much time on it as a kid i dont know. But the same doesnt mean bad. The game rockz! on many levels.

The evolution of technology has allowed blizzard to do amazing things with the maps. And during the capaign there is a great sense of story progress and detail. Buildings and lying cars around. Ppl cowering in fear. Space stations...volcanic planets, jungles you get it all...and its EPIC!
Between missions you get to interact with some of the cast and get yourself involved with the story more deeply. I really feel sad for anybody who skipped talking and clicking around cuz you are just missing out on the whole thing...
You can upgrade your units and buildings and get some passive buffs for your army through research of Zerg and Protoss technology. Now those stuff are exclusive to the campaign but they are pretty cool and add a good sense of progress and even a small RPG element.
Altho for me the best choices were kinda obvious i suppose there are good sides of the upgrades i didnt pick.
On Hyperion your command center battlecruiser you also get an "archive" which gives you the ability to view all your mission progress and the option to replay or even try higher difficulty to get some achievements done. sadly i got disconnected couple of times during playing and didnt get achievements for alot of missions. Took me awhile to figure out that i need to be in Battle.net to get them. Which doesnt make sense to me....how come the game cant save the stuff you pulled off and then load them to battle.net? There is only 1 explanation....in online mode you probably cant use cheats ( i havent heard of any cheats beeing discovered yet) while in offline you probably can...if its not that then i hope blizz had a good reason to cripple ppl witheout internet connection (tho i suspect there wont be that many).
The cinematics....well.....nobody ever needs to say anyhing about the quality blizzard always delivers with its cinematics. Superb as always!
The story....now.....its pretty much a follout of what happened in SC 1 and the brood wars. we get some moving forward but not much. The great enemy......a hybrid race that created the zerg and protoss and wants to kill everybody in the universe....to think about it if they created the swarm and the protoss that doesnt make them Hybrid...cuz they came BEFORE the 2 parts....so the term is a bit wrong. at least from Xel`Naga point of view. I always imagined the Xel`Naga would be something else....so i was dissapointed when i learned what they truly were.
Overall the sotry quality is mediocre....but the way you get involved in it makes the game shine. Amazing gameplay and EPIC missions.....it just sucks you right into the action and leaves you breathless.
Since this is gona be a trilogy it wasnt a surprise the missions were concentrated on the Terran. the Protoss had a handful of missions...3...or was it 4? well just a couple. And you dont get to play the Zerg at all....which is an interesting choice....i personally dont mind it ...but for newcomers its gona be harder to get into the zerg in multyplayer witheout ever playing them in the campaign. Oh well....practice makes better i guess :D
Anyway...
In the end StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty lived up to the expectations and turned out to be a diamond. i suspect with its release the market will open up once again to RTS games.....after all blizzard just showed everyone how a RTS game should be made. Cuz trust me....no other RTS game can even be compared to SC2. Its THAT AWESOME!
After i finished the campaign i dived straight into the online battlefront and its super fun!
ive been neglecting my WoW priest alot ^_^ but hey...can you blame me?

StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty!
DID YOU KNOW?Its 27 July, 2010! AND...HELL ITS ABOUT TIME!
StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty the first part of the new trilogy by blizzard that will expand the story of the original game is here! And HELL....ITS ABOUT TIME!
I got just the normal edition but i am hoping ill get my hands on the collectors edition from EU. there are bound to be some copies lying around in my country`s game shops that ppl couldnt afford to buy ^_^ Thats how i got the Wrath of the lich king collectors edition ^_^
Im installing the game right now and i just cant wait to start. I also got this brand new limited edition mousepad of Kerrigan vs Zeratul! Its SUPER AWESOME! Ill go buy the Raynor one later cuz there is no way ill go out of my house today :D
With the standard edition you also get a stack of small wanted posters of Jim raynor.....its like Blizz is asking us all to do some propaganda and spread the word :D Ill drop some around mailboxes just for fun :D I mean....there like 50+ of em...maybe 100 but ill leave some for me aswell ^^
Watching my new mousepad makes me feel rly sad...i should have been more serious about getting the collectors edition...i mean i certainly had the money...but i was like meh...i have time :(
The music during the installation is also awesome...and there is a Soundtrack CD with the collectors pack :( gosh i rly screwed myself up -_-`

Moar and moar manga :D
Keeewl :DThx to the super duper awesome folks at Viz Media i finally did it! I got all the current volumes of One Piece :P 54!!!!! i even have 54 in japanese from last year :D
It really feels great. Now im going to stop reading the chapetrs each week and ill just wait for the volumes to come out in english. It looks so awesome on the book shelve :P
And now im going to concentrate on collecting other stuff. I got everything from Bleach too. I suppose i should get the last 9 vols of D. Gray-Man now. And maybe get shaman King. but even tho i love those mangas...ive seen the anime episodes or red the chapters online...so it feels a bit like a waste of money to get so much manga. especially if i know everything that will happen :( thats why im not rushing with buying the 49 volumes of naruto. Besides im kinda angry witn naruto cuz the quality dropped alot :(

I got some more Deadpool comics. Deadpool is shaping up to become my favorite marvel character :D he is just hillarious :D Also i reviewed the Boba Fett omnibus but i actually have 2 more Star Wars omnibuses from Dark Horse and they are all awesome :) but...well...im just a sucker for star wars ^_^ i mean i grew up with that shit.
I started this sci-fi manga called GANTZ! I remember looong ago a friend of mine mentioned it to me but i never rly researched it. but now since i got access to alot of manga i thought maybe ill give it a shot. Just finished vaolume 2. Its rly interesting and the art altho a bit crude is still very nice. And 400+ pages and im still not sure whats going on....maybe thats part of the authors plan...keep it slow paced in the beggining and then exlpode with insane shit :D Well see...i heard the new chapters come out pretty slow so no hurry anyway :P
got to get more berserk tho. but the damn bookstore just wont re-supply with volume 17... :(((( and i dont wanna get 18,19+ witheout reading 17 -_-`
Oh i also got kakashi,Itachi and Pain PVC figures to decorate my manga shelve :P Kakashi looks especially awesome! CLICK ON PICTURE TO ZOOM!
The Pirate Devlin
Awww i just got myself a bulgarian keyboard setup so im pretty happy. i know ive been slacking alot....well...the stupid facebook is to blame for this. Ive been posting alot there which kinda defeats the need to write here :(Sry my dear blog!
Well now in celebration of my reunion with the BG language ill post some stuff :D
So first i wanna talk about this book called "The Pirate Devlin" by Mark Keating. Its a pirate book...obviously :D And well.....as you know i love pirates and when i saw it on the new arrivals section i got curious so i bought it. Also at the time i have been readign too much manga and i thought i should you know...get back to more serious stuff.
The book is amazing. The author tries to keep everything that happens in the book in...real time. . . and by that i mean that all events and timelines are the same as the real world`s history. And our hero Devlin is just a small fish in the big ocean.
The book has this realism to it.....it doesnt make the pirate life all that glorious....actually i learned some stuff that were a pretty big surprise to me....pirate life back in the day wasnt an easy business :X

So wee get to see how our pratagonist Devlin gets screwed up and ends up in a pirate ship. And then for the story`s sake becomes the captain of the pirate vessel where he was forced to "work" on. And then we get to see a single adventure. The whole book is about his first adventure but it is told in a superb manner!
but that also means that the book is not very long. Which is kinda good too cuz its a great weekend read for those hot days where you just wanna sit down and relax.
So im not gona spoil what happens cuz the story is not very long ...but it was very fun and it keeps you interested till the end. And there were some pretty insteresting twists in the end. Altho dont expect stuff the size of the "dark knight".
What i really loved was that tip of the hat tribute to legendary pirate "Blackbeard". Devlin meets Blackbeard in a small bar in some lawless village and gets on the mans deathlist! There was this thing with a candle that blackbeard did which i loved. So it was that moment that really hyped the character for me. Funny thing the whole time while i was reading their encounter i was picturing Blackbeard as the one drawn in the manga One Piece....ive been reading that thing for too long so i suppose it shouldnt surprise me :D
So all in all even tho this is not going to be some crazy bestseller that will blow your mind away. In the end the pirate devlin is a great pirate book that will not dissapoint you! And probably just like me ...will make you want more.
Good news is there will be a sequel somewhere in the future :)

Star Wars Omnibus: Boba Fett
DID YOU KNOW?Jango Fett`s son Boba is actually a un-altered clone of Jango!
Star Wars Trivia
Well well.....i got this like a month ago or so but i couldnt bring myself to write in the blog.....been so lazy :D and the free time i had i used to play world of warcraft and lately Mass Effect 1.... ^^
So i was checking out the comic section of my favorite bookstore and on the new arrivals i saw this tidy and awesome looking omnibus. Now back in BG i had already seen plenty of Dark Horse`s SW series and i totally loved them....and i also love Boba Fett so i thought....hey....maybe ill drop the manga for a bit and check this baby out. Hey wait....didnt i get this together with Suicide Kings o.O haha cant rly remember....and im too lazy to read me previous post to see if i wrote about it haha :D but i think i got them together. Anyway...
First thing i want to say is that this comic is a pure 200+ pages AWESOMENESS!
I loved it....thanks to this amazing puppy i got myself 2 other omnibuses from DH.
Boba Fett has always been a special character in the SW universe. I dont really understand why.....i think he is amazing and bad-ass and whatnot but come to think of it...
he had such a small role in the original trilogy....what made Boba Fett so popular? I think the idea of a bad ass cool looking bounty hunter was what got the attention of everybody. I mean looking back at the days when SW first came out it was Darth Vader, Stormtroopers and Boba....everything else was just a bunch of weird ppl walkin around. But those 3 designs....that was bad ass futuristic gear that delivers alot of PAIN!
In the prequels Jango was introduced and gave us some background on boba....which turned out kinda weird...Boba was a clone raised normally by Jango......well i guess a man cant leave behind a better legacy than a copy of his own hehe....
So in this fat-pack of Boba stories we get to see more of him. The character is explored more deeply and we see how major SW events reflected on his work. But in the end of the omnibus mr Fett is still the same mystery that he was before i started reading....and i think thats what makes him even more cool :D
The collected stories were great.
I have a small issue with the ending of the first one....i mean putting him on the same level as Vader...okay i understand if you wanna give him some cred but cmon that finale....just...i dont know i felt like the writers wanted to push Boba a level further since it was his own series and they didnt wanna dis-honor him or something. I get it its hard to do justice to 2 awesome and very loved characters but still Vader is Vader....
The bounty hunter race was awesome i totally loved it...altho it was a mix between Han Solo and Boba...but i guess Solo`s presence payed off...
Overkill i rly enjoyed. A true bounty hunter story.
The hutt arc was kinda annoying....mostly because the art sucked balls....i guess it was an old comic series. . . .the storyline was too long and the art just drew my stamina...but i still enjoyed it but it was the weakest of all the collections inside the book.
Overall i think this is a must read for every SW and Boba Fett fan. I was so hyped after reading it that as i said in the beginning i got myself more omnibuses.
Well well.....i got this like a month ago or so but i couldnt bring myself to write in the blog.....been so lazy :D and the free time i had i used to play world of warcraft and lately Mass Effect 1.... ^^
So i was checking out the comic section of my favorite bookstore and on the new arrivals i saw this tidy and awesome looking omnibus. Now back in BG i had already seen plenty of Dark Horse`s SW series and i totally loved them....and i also love Boba Fett so i thought....hey....maybe ill drop the manga for a bit and check this baby out. Hey wait....didnt i get this together with Suicide Kings o.O haha cant rly remember....and im too lazy to read me previous post to see if i wrote about it haha :D but i think i got them together. Anyway...

First thing i want to say is that this comic is a pure 200+ pages AWESOMENESS!
I loved it....thanks to this amazing puppy i got myself 2 other omnibuses from DH.
Boba Fett has always been a special character in the SW universe. I dont really understand why.....i think he is amazing and bad-ass and whatnot but come to think of it...
he had such a small role in the original trilogy....what made Boba Fett so popular? I think the idea of a bad ass cool looking bounty hunter was what got the attention of everybody. I mean looking back at the days when SW first came out it was Darth Vader, Stormtroopers and Boba....everything else was just a bunch of weird ppl walkin around. But those 3 designs....that was bad ass futuristic gear that delivers alot of PAIN!
In the prequels Jango was introduced and gave us some background on boba....which turned out kinda weird...Boba was a clone raised normally by Jango......well i guess a man cant leave behind a better legacy than a copy of his own hehe....
So in this fat-pack of Boba stories we get to see more of him. The character is explored more deeply and we see how major SW events reflected on his work. But in the end of the omnibus mr Fett is still the same mystery that he was before i started reading....and i think thats what makes him even more cool :D
The collected stories were great.
I have a small issue with the ending of the first one....i mean putting him on the same level as Vader...okay i understand if you wanna give him some cred but cmon that finale....just...i dont know i felt like the writers wanted to push Boba a level further since it was his own series and they didnt wanna dis-honor him or something. I get it its hard to do justice to 2 awesome and very loved characters but still Vader is Vader....
The bounty hunter race was awesome i totally loved it...altho it was a mix between Han Solo and Boba...but i guess Solo`s presence payed off...
Overkill i rly enjoyed. A true bounty hunter story.
The hutt arc was kinda annoying....mostly because the art sucked balls....i guess it was an old comic series. . . .the storyline was too long and the art just drew my stamina...but i still enjoyed it but it was the weakest of all the collections inside the book.

Deadpool: Suicide Kings!
DID YOU KNOW?In Deadpool's comic book appearances he is known for breaking the fourth wall!
Comic Books Trivia
Well couple of days ago i was walking around the shelves at the comics section of my favorite bookstore wondering what should i buy.....there just so many stuff :O I was on a roll with buying manga but right now im waiting for the store to re-fill with 2 missing vols of One Piece so i decided ill take a turn and go back to normal US comic books. last thing i got were the 2 TP vols of Ultimate Spider-Man which were extreamly awesome but beyond taht i dont have anything else. And i even got the spidey books like almost a year ago when i started Death Note.
So i was looking around...i swear everymonth the comics and manga get relocated in the store....so i was looking around and trying to figure out what was where and etc etc...
so when i passed the new release stand i saw this cool looking Deadpool comic TP named Suicide Kings. And from waht i saw in the back cover it was a solo collection which i liked cuz there so many events right now and so many big stuff going on at the Marvel Universe taht i felt like just getting 1 TP is like jumping in a huge maze witheout lights.
So i browsed couple pages...the art was great. I rly love how the style of the artists in the past years has evolved....change for the good :)
So after reading the introduction of the comic i was totally hyped up. The way Deadpool talks with himself and with the comic bubbles....thats just too awesome :D
So i bought the book and i was NOT disapointed. It was EPIC!
Great art. the story was kinda cheesy but it was delivered perfectly!
And we got The Punisher, Daredevil and Spidey in the story.....poor Wade got himself cut and blown away so many times....i was rly glad for him that he got laid at the end of the story....(okay like thats a big spoiler...)...and also pleasantly surprised at the level of violence in the book...n the hot chick scenes :PpPp
its good to know there not holding back with some of their titles (i mean Marvel).
And it was very funny too...the merc with the mouth....hehe suits him right :P
I think its a safe bet to say that ive become a Deadpool fan :P
Looking forward to my next clash with his stories.
p.p: And the way he knows he`s a comic character is amazing :O....i was twitching when he made funny remarks about the marvel universe infront of the punisher and spider-man ahhahah it was hillarious!
So if your looking for a great comic book to cool off some time the Suicide Kings TP (Vols 1-5) is well worth its price + we get 1 extra story which was pretty good too tho i didnt enjoy the art as much.

Bleach!
DID YOU KNOW?According to Shonen Jump's character popularity polls, Ichigo was consistently the most popular character in Bleach in the first three polls, but ranked 3rd in the fourth, most recent poll.
Manga Trivia
Well i was planning to give my opinion on Bleach after finishing Volume 7. But my plan kinda turned up-side down.
But i think it was a good thing since now im at volume 18! And im much more involved with the story and the characters.
So hum.....well it is a good manga....i can see why its one of the Kings that dominate Japan and the rest of the world.
Lets talk main character.....well Ichigo is pretty much your typical j-manga hero. At least looks better than Naruto lmao....cocky and puffed with energy n whatnot.
Speakin of energy the measurement of power in the Bleach universe is "spiritual pressure". Which ichigo posesses in enormous amounts! But apperantly is too stupid to unlock his full potential....now i dont mind that kind of background set up to get the story moving but honestly since its a kind of magical thing.....couldnt he....oh i dont know...level up slowly instead of being super awesome from the get go. All the way to volume 18 and i rly dont feel like Ichigo is progressing....i mean yes....he did those short training sessions and got alot stronger but that felt like cheating...or grinding in an online game... -_-
The start of the manga was a bit slow....unlocking info about the soul Society and the sub-chars. Ichigo slowly trying to figure out wtf is the deal with beign a Soul Reaper....
Then suddenly Rukia gets arrested and everything started movign in fast forward!!!
cmon in 10 days becoming a Soul Reaper.....n now in 3 days to master bankai....which SR Captains train for 10 bloody years! 10 YEARS!
It just feels like im skipping part of the growing process. But at least going to the S.S world proved exiting. Plenty of fights.....a lil bit overwhelmed by all the new chars that were introduced...and each volume gives some background info....which is an interesting way ot telling the main story but kinda ticks me off when im just drooling to see more action!
I guess the main over-powered issue for me is that Ichigo went from Rookie to defeating Captains....and that doesnt seem right.
So to sum it up . . . the only issue i have so far with this manga is the weird pace with which it tells its story and develops its characters. There is a sense of grand scheme going on for the past couple of Vols,....but the lame thing is i kinda spoiled my reading from a Shonen Jump chapter where i saw that Aizen was a bad guy. . . .so i wont be that surprised when he returns to show how bad-ass he is. Hope they are done quickly with him so i can enjoy the new villain :D
The Art is great tho. Nice details and the characters look awesome. Chad is kinda weird....and not in a cool way...not like...say...Bob from Tenjou Tenge. Orihime is pissing me off with her girly ways....reminds me of Sakura -_-
But Kisuke and the Black Cat are awesome.
Zaraki and Ichimaru of the captains crack me up....everytime i see Gin`s permanent evil grin face it just makes me picture dead bodies.....(mkay that come out wrong).
The fights are great. The author was holding abit in the begining but as the captains started poping all over the place it got rly cool.
The Bankai was a neat touch cuz.....well prue swordsmanship can only go so far...but using some soul magic tricks ....now that is just cool.
Toshiro`s frost dragon was awesome!
So to sum it up.....Bleach lived up to the hype and im glad i finally started it....and best thing about starting a manga like this late is.....you get tons of Volumes to read.
Also the books look epic on the bookshelves! I think i should take some pics of my manga collection when it gets abit bigger. Viz Media started releasing One Piece like 5 vols a month....even faster than the Naruto Push-Up. So im damn sure i want OP fully on my bookcase :D
Which reminds me....Ace died in the last chapter.....i knew Whitebeard wont survive the massacre...but all this fighting and sacrifices and Ace dies....it is kinda sad :S And not to mention how awesome Fire Fist was :S
So what now.....Luffy is surely gona go nuts....even Garp wants to kill Akainu now!
cant wait cant wait....
Well thats from me....if you are wondering about a new manga to start...and granted you are not already reading bleach...take it. It WONT dissapoint :>
