I'm Back Baby, YEAH!

I've been away for a while (4 or so months), I was going through some stuff and I needed a break, from everything. I'm at a comfortable point now so I felt my return was nigh. I've been keeping an eye on all of you, in the shadows, you guys got up to quite a lot.

Updates

Professional Life

Got a job at an electronics retail chain, my co-workers are great, the job is simple enough I don't mind some of the busy work because it preoccupies me.

New Phone

HTC One, red with Beats Audio, I get half price on a contract where I work I put all my music on there and I have a Shadow the Hedgehog case.

New Comics.

I finally bought the Super Street Fighter: Akuma Origins, a review is imminent but I'll give away that the art work is SUPERB!

Sandman Overture, Neil Gaiman has returned to his most famous contribution to the medium along with one of the greatest artist to date, J H Williams a fantastic artist and the artist of the original Sandman covers, Dave McKean whom I have a signed copy. I bought 2 different covers.
Sonic/Mega Man: Worlds Collide. I know I haven't finished it yet but I have all the issues and will review the crossover as a whole.
Archie is doing a Zombie Story line...

New Games

I finally have Ni No Kuni after a brutal price cut, I've started it today or yesterday depending on when i posted this. I'm pretty excited.
Borrowed Darksiders II, i'll get to it eventually.
I'm buying the Legend of Zelda 3DS XL at Xmas or my Birthday to put it next to the other one
Killer Instinct is looking more and more awesome, I have vague but fond memories of the Rare classic of 90s cheese, it's just criminal that it only for Xbone
Persona announcement, is it 5? Is it 4-II? is it Arena 2? We'll find out soon.
Ultra Street Fighter 4, hopefully the only entry we'll ever need again. SF4 is a game that not only revitalised the fighting game scene but it propelled me and my older brother to play a fighting game together for the first time in years and for the both of us it was just fantastic me and him bonding like we used to whenever it comes out I might get it for him and we'll play again. His skill hasn't soften unfortunately

That's it for now, i'll catch up with some of ya soon

This is V saying "Listen to the Music!"

So far so good, it's not as good as the first issue of Sandman storywise but it sets things up nicely, the art is gprgeous.

Nice to chat again.

Yea, J.H. Williams is great. I always wanted to stick with the Batwoman series just for his art, but I didn't like the writting by W.H. Blackman that much. You got to have both to get me on board. Same with the new Sandman. Love the art, but I'm not sure I'd like N. Gaiman's writting. I've read the previous Sandman series and liked them fine, but I didn't love them.

Never read Sandman before and I really want to. Should I start with this new series or from the beginning?

And damn, I played that song not really thinking much about it and then I quickly realized it was right up my alley, thanks for that share!

11/14/2013 at 04:12 PM

I say from the first series because if you don't you really won't grasp what all the hype is about and it very much feels like a continuation rather than fresh start so go with the first couple volumes or omnibus.

Over the course of the months i've been diving into Trip-Hop and House music and all because of Tekken. No really, Tekken Tag's Staff Roll to be specific

Hey Ash! Glad to hear from you. I want that Zelda 3DS XL but it's not happening. :(

11/14/2013 at 07:30 PM

The way i see it i won't be eating lunch for a couple of months, but i als want that special Zelda chest that makes the discover sound

11/14/2013 at 07:35 PM

LOL. That's pretty cool.

11/15/2013 at 02:26 PM

I second that. Cool!

Watching from the Shadows...are you sure you're not Pixlbit's Batman

Yeah I'm bummed Killer Instinct isn't on both consoles. I used to play the hell out of it on the SNES.

11/15/2013 at 05:56 PM

I'm sure, I still have a piggy bank

My KI experience was mainly in the arcades hearing "ULLLLTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" I didn't play it too often though.

Ni nu Kuni is a great game. I enjoyed it a lot.

11/15/2013 at 07:28 PM

I'm in the first hour of meeting the Cat King (the idea of which makes me extremely gleeful for some reason) It's certainly interesting.

Nice chatting again

Have they put the Mm/Sonic crossover into a GN yet? Or is it not done yet?

11/15/2013 at 07:42 PM

The first volume will be released this December 10th.

11/18/2013 at 11:09 PM

That's great! Been trying to collect the MM GN's because it takes me back to the days I collected the Sonic ones. I still have issues 0-100, plus all the specials and side series from that era. =D

Tekken always had really good music. I always preferred SF for the characters but the composers for Tekken get a "flawless victory" in the audio department. Kazuya's "Devil theme" from Tekken 2 is one of my favorite fighting beats of all time.

11/15/2013 at 09:01 PM

Grettings comrade.

Tekken and Street Fighter used to pull my interests between them, playing T3 in the arcade was so impactful and Tag is my fav of the series. I never stuck with it though, I need to play Tag 2 eventually.

Oh I see how it is. When you said a "small break" you actually meant a whole summer break.

That cool. Time is what we make of it. Glad to see you back.

11/19/2013 at 03:26 PM

I've had some catching up to do but and lost time to make up for but i'm on it!

Nice to chat once more.

Man... I'm so late lol. Welcome back V! I wish Microsoft didn't own the rights to Killer Instinct. I've been wanting a new one for forever. It kinda broke my heart the day I found that out. Oh well. At least there's always the SNES and N64 versions to go back to.

11/24/2013 at 03:24 PM

Haha, true. Eventually though Microsoft will release KI on PC when the full version is out, it's just a matter of time, I've be looking at how KI's been developed and it's looking deep!
