Things On My Mind Episode 1

This is going to short look at recent things on my mind.  Things in the news, short reviews, and other things.

Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron:
Awesome game.  Seriously one of my favorite games of the year and bit underrated in my mind.  Is it perfect?  No.  The whole everyone has unique powers shot down when Jazz shares the same kinda grappling hook powers as a decipitcon.  Maybe different weapon but pretty much did the same thing.  There is also the whole thing over Bumblebee’s voice.  It seems this character has become Hasbro punching bag or resident handicap.  Prime no voice, this game no voice (might have to do with it being tied to prime), comics no one can fix his leg.  Why Hasbro why?  I never did figure out how to breathe fire as grimlock.  Even though it was awesome playing as grimlock and bruticus.  Really loved the guy playing jazz’s voice.  He got the feel of original G1 voice actor who sadly passed on after 86 movie.  Peter Cullun as Optimus Prime is awesome as always.  Frank Welker couldn’t voice megatron but guy who does is really good as megatron.  Megatron stage makes him feel a little under powered at time.  Wish I could have controlled Metroplex more.  The last battle I wish could have been a little longer but do we get a nice Prime/Megatron battle.  That last stage switching back and forth was intense stage.  Was so good.  Can’t wait to see what third game is going to be.

Madden 13:
How about a game that went in complete wrong direction?  I have loved madden series since the start of it.  I have gotten almost every game and every year.  This has to be the most disappointing game I have played in the series.  From AI refs that calls penalties at times on you every play or every other but won’t call anything on it's self unless it’s player jumps on your back.  To stupid career modes where you can play as created guy only but if that player not playing you are watching a sim.  Oh boy that is what I really wanted to do.  Hey at least from looking at NBA 2K13 you can watch the game from sideline as the player.  You can’t create your team (except in ultimate team but so basic and collecting trading cards), you can’t change your team before season.  I understand for online fairness but offline?  Just sucks.  I mean to take out one the biggest part of the game and replace it with half ass connected careers and ultimate team?  Doesn’t work.  I never canceled a pre order or returned a madden game so soon after getting it.

Pokemon White 1 & 2:
I recently finished White 1 after finally finding my copy.  Had been lost.  I recently got White 2.  These games are awesome.  White 1 has its problems with only unova region pokemon available but 2 takes care of that.  My one thing is that there is no pikachu in white or black 2 it seems.  That makes me sad.  

DC Nation being pulled:
Okay what I’m about to say maybe a bit controversial but I have to say it.  I didn’t say this on message boards because I didn’t feel getting a flame war with people there.  I’m saying this hear because I want to be honest.  Over the weekend DC Nation was pulled from Cartoon Network schedule till january.  After only being back for 2 or 3 episodes.  Fans had to wait all summer for new episodes and then after a couple episodes it’s gone.  Without notice or anything.  Then a little thing popped up on message boards that may explain everything.  What reason could have been pulled?  Cartoon Network and DC are keeping quiet but I have an idea.  In the episode that was suppose to air there is a blonde girl who listed in the credits as Stephanie Brown.   Yeah that Stephanie Brown.  The one DC keeps turning down every idea or proposal to use new 52.  The one Dido claims was only made robin so her death meant more which was load of crap.  Dido claimed in a interview they are not using her to build excitement for character's return.  You know it’s been a year I think it’s time to stop building it.  Same with wally west and others.  I mean if you really wanted to use her why block every attempt? We will get back to that mess another time but is it coincidence the show was pulled?  I don’t think so.  I have no proof but DC has a problem with the character and seems to be the only explanation coming out of this.  I mean it’s bad enough Young Justice probably won’t get season 3 but to pull it out of nowhere?  Something is going on DC or Cartoon Network not telling us.  I said this before hyper monkeys on drugs run CN.  I’m starting to think that is good way to describe Dido and company at DC.  To question I know people are going to ask but why pull Green Lantern too?  They didn’t want dc nation a as only half-hour?  They didn’t want to show a rerun opposite a new episode?  Probably one of those two or just to cover the truth of the reason it was pulled.  Whatever is going makes no sense and twitter gone nuts over this.  Last night there 5,000 signatures and probably now more.  I hope DC and Cartoon Network gets the message.  I mean YJ is #2 on Itunes as I type for all shows.  Not just cartoons ALL SHOWS!

Joker’s new look:
My god I have never wanted to be scared and laugh at something as badly I do when I see joker now.  They have ruined him.  He looks stupid with the face cut off and now wearing the old one as mask.  WTF was DC thinking.  Will make look scarier.  The only person that worn that kinda mask and look scary is Leatherface.  Even hollywood ruined that.

A Lesson and don’t believe rumors:
    Twitter yesterday was all a crazy on rumor that Funimation had announced license to Sailor Moon.  It wasn’t true and at least Funi came out said that it wasn’t true.  Not let rumors and everything stew unlike some other thing mentioned above.  I know all SM fans including myself would love to see the old and new show licensed but be careful because there are trolls out there.
