Michael Bay Stole My Bike...or Transformer. Or Whatever.
Back one last time to tackle two things. Why I actually think anyone will care-including myself- is as mysterious as the Circle of Life
First off and most importantly.
Some of you might somehow remember my ancient and crummy Transformers RPGs from eternity ago. In which case, you'll also remember my severe ego issues revolving around my goofy, undead, chainsaw wielding Decepticon called Phantom. Basically this mechanical Frankenstien right here.
Ancient drawing is ancient.
Anyways. Saw some of the new robots in the new Revenge of the Fallen Transformers movie *which by the way looks so lame I'll settle for Netflixing it months from now* and one of them is an Autobot called Sideswipe who I find amusingly looks almost like Phantom.
Okay, so maybe they don't look exactly like one another, but they have a lot of similarities. Both have wheeled feet meant for speed, both have duel wrist-blade-chainsaw-thingies, triangular car-based chasis, even 4-pronged helmets. Give Sideswipe chainsaws, green armor and a red crystal in his forehead and I'd be laughing.
I may have lost my interest in Transformers for the most of it, but I'm so gonna buy the toy to kitbash it into Phantom.
Oh, and one more topic that I must rave out of my system.
Dead Space: Extraction.
No, I'm not about to break out into jibbering, fanboy derping. In fact, it's gonna be the opposite. Dead Space Extraction is for the Wii system only and totally mocks what the original game had accomplished. Dead Space was a seamless, intensely cinematic, sci-fi horror game that was probably the best thing to happen for horror/zombie based games in ages. Dead Space Extraction? Basically an insulting defilement by turning it into a cheap, low-graphic, scroll-and-shoot arcade game that even borders on a L4D knockoff. Oh, and you don't play as Isaac.
I wanted to see Isaac being coerced by the government to help a team of funded archaeologists try to recover the Marker back in the ruins of the planet below the Ishimura *maybe ten years later*, only to be able to escape due to the mixed blessing of the Necromorphs killing off his captors. He then has to fight *or more importantly, run. Don't give him much weapons- emphasis more on flight then fight* his way back up to the surface of the planet through it's dark, crumbling catacombs, and the humans *his government captors* are just as much a threat as the Necromorphs. But nope, we got this.
I'd rant and rave and yell and curse, but I've already spent 3 days venting about it so I no longer have the same anger as more as I have bitter acceptance of the fact that EA has murdered the franchise of my most favorite video game in ages.
Guess I'll go buy Prototype and just kill a couple hundred people. That might help let off the steam.
I'm outta here once more- talk to you guys later then sooner.
