This is gonna be tough to pull off - attempting to decide BZPower's favorite video game character and BZPower's favorite movies on the same blog. I'll make do. With the announcement of the nominees for the 86th Academy Awards, I figured, why not? We'll make some of our own! (If you'd like to help the Voltex Association with designing a trophy, please do so). This is going to be voted on entirely by you guys (and me because I am one of you) - so here's the deal. First, we need nominations
E3 2014 - Mii Profile Species: Human? Series: Any First Appearance: Wii Sports (Wii, 2006) Favourite Appearance: Mario Kart 8 (Wii U, 2014) Party: 1st Known For: Being your Nintendo avatar, having three classes, showing off motion controls, playing sports, infiltrating Mario Kart Excitement Factor: 10/10 - Like seriously, I've always been kinda 50/50 about adding Mii as a fighter (like how would it even work), but Sakurai has worked his magic once more. This is perfect and I can't wait to try
Definitely Superman 64. B) I've been playing it like, nonstop the past two weeks. I just can't get enough of it! Whoever designed this is a genius. Who needs Portal? -ibrow(?)
Here shall remain a compilation of the best game-related quotes that I discover from the Games & Trivia forum (since that is the game forum I spend the most time in). I shall, of course, bump this entry whenever I find a suitable number of new quotes. Please note that if need be, I shall shamelessly steal these quotes from the signatures of those who discovered them first. Let us begin! From Bionifight Ultimate
Perhaps not the best, but it is certainly amongst the greatest moments of my life. This moment is one of the greatest for the simple fact that it will never and can never be tarnished by anything, because there was absolutely nothing wrong for me at that point in time and nothing in there that could ruin that point in time. To tell you of this fantastic moment I must share with you the backstory - an extensive backstory that takes place over the span of four years, although one that I will short
(Brought to you by Voltex and Burnmad) I said we'd do it again, and so we are! HOWEVER. This one has a theme, people of BZPower! And that theme is.... NINTENDO. That's right - for THE BEST EVER 2, only Nintendo Characters are allowed (do not worry this will not be for every future tournament). Now, as the final two of the previous tournament, Samus and Link are guaranteed the #1 and #2 positions respectively, meaning there are 30 more characters to be decided upon. In the comments of thi
So back in January, I realize that I 100% dropped the ball on this one. But now that it's been about a year since the first one, I figured that we would try this again. The Best Ever 3: Good vs. Evil is officially live! Sixteen of the greatest heroes in video games, as well as sixteen of the greatest villains, shall go head-to-head with each other, vying for the "Best Ever" crown! As the winner and runner-up of Best Ever 2 respectively, Luigi and Hades are guaranteed the #1 spot in each c
Here we are! So sorry for the delay. All you get this time is the picture bracket - I found a rather nifty piece of fan art that depicted our final two combatants (even on the right sides of the picture for the bracket!) and decided to use it. That said... (click for bigger): It's Samus, placed #3, and Link, placed #12, in a Nintendo-dominated final round! Samus emerged victorious over Sonic with ease, while Link admittedly struggled a little to beat Mega Man. But here we are - now, vote!
(Still brought to you by Voltex and Burnmad) So you've nominated - now what? Well, we've got a whopping 43 characters nominated, which of course is too many. Only 30 can make it into the first round alongside Samus and Link! So! That means you get to vote for six characters in this list. Get started! Goomy (Pokemon) Count Bleck (Paper Mario) Guru-Guru (The Legend of Zelda) Fawful (Mario & Luigi) King Dedede (Kirby) Jellicent (Pokemon) Pit (Kid Icarus) Giratina (Pokemon) Ridley (Met
Welcome to The Best Ever 3: Good vs. Evil! Inspired by the final two rounds of the previous tournament, the sides of light and darkness will go head to head in this third competition after Samus and Luigi won the first and second tournaments respectively. Here's how it's gonna work: 16 heroes, 16 villains. The final two will consist of the mightiest hero facing off against the strongest villain, to determine which side will achieve ultimate victory. As the winner and runner-up of the last tour
Round 3 begins! As per usual, both a visual bracket (click for larger!) and a text bracket. Both GlaDOS and Master Chief emerged victorious from Round 2 with last minute tiebreakers, eliminating Wheatley and Gordon Freeman from the running. Link took every single vote in his bracket, dominating Ghirahim, and Samus received double the votes of the Pyro to move on. #2 GlaDOS (Portal) vs. #3 Samus Aran (Metroid) #6 Sonic (Sonic the Hedgehog) vs. #8 Count Bleck (Paper Mario) #9 Mario (Su
And so Round 2 begins! Less matchups, more firepower! First off, another bracket for you all to enjoy (you can once again click it for a larger version): And now the matchups in text: #1 Wheatley (Portal) vs. #2 GlaDOS (Portal) #3 Samus Aran (Metroid) vs. #4 The Pyro (Team Fortress 2) #6 Sonic (Sonic the Hedgehog) vs. #28 Geo Stelar (Mega Man Star Force) #7 Riku (Kingdom Hearts) vs. #8 Count Bleck (Paper Mario) #9 Mario (Super Mario) vs. #10 Pit (Kid Icarus) #12 Link (The Legend of
Alright folks, so here's the deal: we have the following ten characters confirmed in so far: Wheatley (Portal) GlaDOS (Portal) Samus Aran (Metroid) The Pyro (Team Fortress 2) The Sniper (Team Fortress 2) Sonic (Sonic the Hedgehog) Riku (Kingdom Hearts) Count Bleck (Paper Mario) Mario (Super Mario) Neku Sakuraba (The World Ends With You) Pit (Kid Icarus) So in short, eleven out of thirty-two confirmed and placed accordingly. That means we still have 21 characters out of the remainin
So here's the deal: Burnmad and I have decided that we're curious to find out who you all would select as the best video game character of all time, but with some style. Here's the deal: We have 32 slots open. In the comments, post your favourite characters (we'll allow you up to four). If someone has already put in a character that you would normally pick, that's perfectly fine - just let us know that you're adding a vote to that character. If we receive more than 32 submissions, then we'll s
SAMUS!!! Samus took down her rival Link in the final round, with a total count of 7-5 votes. Samus is undoubtedly the undisputed champion of this tournament, having easily overcome her previous opponents The Kid, The Pyro, GlaDOS, and Sonic the Hedgehog with ease. Stay tuned; perhaps we'll do this again sometime soon.
The Avengers – This is the film that Marvel Studios has been building towards since 2008, when they released Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk. Further leading into this film were the films Iron Man 2 (released in 2010), Thor, and Captain America: The First Avenger (both released in 2011). In this film Nick Fury, the director of a company known as S.H.I.E.L.D. must assemble the title heroes from those films (as well as a few others, which we’ll get to later) to defend Earth against the super vill
I'm still not sure if I want to see it in Theatres or not. What I am wondering though is if this Spider-Man film reboot will tie into the Avengers film series at all. I will talk about the Hunger Games in my next entry.
Coming up over the next few days until the release of The Afterwords on December 7th, I'll be treating the three readers of this blog to previews of scenes from the first season. In this first preview, we get a delicious sample of the Rocka & Evo combination and witness Rocka win out in a subtle argument about the show "Red vs. Blue". Evo sighed and shook his head, plopping back down on the couch to continue watching the last few scenes of Season 6. Rocka chuckled and hopped over, poking
.__. Don't let mom catch you gaming guys Just don't In more fun news... That bundle looks very nice. Makes me want it even more. Which I will be getting it anyway, so the fact that it looks good helps.
Remember that previous tale of triumph? Yeah, today didn't go so well. Everyone but Edea was KO'd and the reason I won was because I was able to brave four times with some offensive lightning magic. Finally changed Tiz's class, and I also updated Ringabel. Edea will probably switch jobs soon too.
Let me be perfectly honest here: -While I thought that RWBY Vol. 1 showed a lot of potential, I felt that it was ultimately rather mediocre. -I will not make secret the fact that I disliked almost everything with RWBY Vol. 2 So with that out of the way, and it having been almost a week now since the first episode of RWBY Vol. 3 released... ...well, color me very surprised, but I actually enjoyed the episode. It has me cautiously hopeful for the rest of the volume, because it's a nice chang
