Holy fuck, this was awesome. I'm on a total zombie binge right now, so I'm probably a little biased, but seriously. How can you not fucking love zombies?
I really liked the art style, faces always being heavily shadowed, and the design of most of the prominent zombies were awesome. You can really tell they put a lot of effort into the main characters. Sadly, you can also tell that they didn't care about any secondary characters that showed up. I mean being a "team book" of sorts that makes sense, and it's not like you can't ever tell who's who. Luckily it doesn't focus on them much anyway. Also, props for all the covers referencing older titles in the marvelverse.

Blue Valkyrie Needs Food Badly
Gauntlet is such an awesome series. I love dungeon-crawlers in general, but Gauntlet just does it right. From the original Gauntlet adventures, to it's first venture into 3D Legends, all the way to causing Seven Sorrows. The journey's Gauntlet games guide us on are never boring.
Sure, Seven Sorrows tried too hard to become an RPG and a fighter with it's buffed up exp. and "combo's" that were... pointless. It still had some fun. And I can concede that Dark Legacy was just a fleshed out version of Legends. At the end of the day though Dark Legacy is an amazing experience jam packed full of content for a group of dungeon delvers to explore. Legends is really the victim in this scenario. In theory it should still hold some merit, but after playing Dark Legacy it just feels pointless. It almost feels like a demo to the sequel, but I digress.

Rupee Land
Although many people don’t believe that Tingle is an important character in the Legend of Zelda mythos, they are wrong. Tingle was first introduced in Majora’s Mask, this was one of his lesser roles. All he did was give you maps for easily identifiable areas anyway. Though his next (console) escapade in The Wind Waker actually progressed the story. If Tingle hadn’t been around Link would never have gotten all of the Triforce shards he needed to beat Ganon. Sure his prices were rather high, but he’s cursed to collect rupees, what can he do?

Grandia II With A Side of Sonic
I hooked up my Dreamcast again just recently, so I've been playing two games that needed closure.
It started with Sonic Adventure. I hadn't been able to beat Big's story because I couldn't figure out how to do it exactly. So I gave it another go. Twenty minutes later Big's story is complete. Of course, I deleted my previous save file for the damn game, and now I must beat Tail's story, Knuckles' story, Amy's Story, and E-102 Beta's story. Pissed may I be, defeated I am not.

Gorillas in the Mist
Wow, I must say this movie saddened, angered, and scared me.
First off it was sad to see how low humans will go for some quick cash. Killing off gorillas in that fashion just to make money, disgusting. Who wants to buy a gorrila skull and hands anyway? I mean I joke about crap like this, but I'm never serious, and it really repluses me when I see it.
It angered me for the same reason it saddened me. Humanity is a very odd thing. We care, but only so much. If we can benefit, then we'll stop caring just enough, or find a way to justify almost anything. How they did those things, while laughing. Bastards.
It scared me, because, well... Sigourney Weaver is a really good "crazy person actor". When she sees her favorite gorilla without a head nor hands she goes pretty much insane. Cussing out her fellow researchers/workers. Blamming the death on a student, firing two students for having sex, which did herself. Then finally burning down the poacher's little villa area. I know why she did, and I would probably do the same, but a character said something I do agree with. "This isn't your own private kingdom." She did really believe the gorillas were her's, and that the whole mountain belonged to her.
It's odd how Dian's death is really a mystery still. You'd have thought that somebody would have found out about it by now. I guess somethings just don't make any sense. Well, thanks Mr. Galvas. He said that I should watch this and "The God's Must Be Crazy" I loved both. This was done really well, I always like movies that focus around someone's life, especially if they died a mysterious death or something.
