Injustice 2: How Should it Happen?

Injustice: Gods Among Us is a massive success. It's obvious that NetherRealm will make a sequel. Even though Injustice doesn't have an acceptable storyline, a sequel would be a good way to draw in more money. Us gamers would be able to see new backgrounds, new characters and different versions of the characters. A sequel wouldn't be possible for 7th gen gaming consoles, if there was, it woud probably already be big buzz news. With high hopes on the PS4, not so much the XBox One, but the PS4, Injustice 2 would be a good way to help spread the word about next gen consoles. But what would it be called?

Injustice: Heroes Rising? That was my first idea. It has to be something original. No one would of thought of Gods Among Us if the guy at DC Entertainment didn't think of it.  I've noticed that the title doesn't mention anything about heroes. It does't say "DC Entertainment presents: Superheroes! Gods Among Us.
Or what about changing the "justice" but keeping the "in". Like Cconsider calling it "Insurgance: Heroes Rising.

Does anyone agree with me???????????

Cubed: July 1st!

June is finished, July is here!

     1.5.2 is finished, 1.6 is here!

Yes. Today Minecraft 1.6 is released to the public. The new update features leads, hay, Coal Blocks, Mules, Donkeys, Foals, and of course, HORSES!

Finally horses. I would have expected it earlier on, maybe even as early as Beta 1.7 But It's finally here. As epic as it is, I won't be reviewing any 1.6-related things today. That comes later, when everyone adjusts to 1.6

The first thing to be discussed today is a new skin. It's Called EnderBrine.

I have been seeing this skin all over servers and hangouts. Even though it's more Herobrine that Enderman, it's still pretty cool. Can Someone PLEASE add him to 1.7 or something!?!

Next up we have Fan Art of a zombie by Dmitry Burmak

I can tell that he put a lot of work into this either by hand or digitally. It really gives a new experience to staying up at night in Minecraft. Especially because the image has multiple zombies. I can almost see what looks like a whole army of zombies.

Great Work Dmitry, I won't be going hunting anymore. I'll stick to the mob trap!

Last but certainly not least is a Giant alien Mothership from Independence Day.

I thought I'd choose this because It's the 4th of July this Thursday for those of you that live in the United states.

This is a creation by Crazy Zoo. All credit goes to him/her. It looks pretty darn awesome.

Well that's all for now, see you guys In two weeks. I'm on vacation next week. I have a post backed up if I get internet service.

Later

Today, Sir Ian McKellen wrapped his last shot as Gandalf the Grey/White. For 15 years he portrayed the role. Peter Jackson, the director of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings posted this picture of Ian and Peter soon after the Clapboard clicked for Ian's last time as that role.

Wow, I'm such a geek.

Marvel Release Dates

Robert Downey Jr. just signed up to play the role of Tony Stark/Iron Man in The Avengers 2 & 3. Usually when an actor signs for both movies at the same time, it means that the movies will be shot at the same time. I'm thinking that's the case for this. There isn't even a release date for The Avengers 3 but Marvel has released some dates for some unknown movies, hopefully to be announced at Comic-Con this year. One slot has been taken for May 6, 2016. I'm guessing that's the Avengers 3 slot, because the Avengers 2 hits theaters on May 1, 2015. Usually movies that are shot at the same time are released almost a year apart from each other. But it could also be the slot for Doctor Strange or Black Panther. But then there's also May 5, 2017 so I could very well be wrong. There are still Rumors for Iron Man 4, (highly unlikely) Ghost Rider 3, (likely) or Thor/Captain America 3

Armie Hammer? Ant-Man? WHAT?

This week has been big for Marvel. Not only are they publishing their regularly scheduled comics, but they are also very busy planning for the San Diego Comic-Con (July 18 - 21). So many rumors and thoughts have been floating around recently. A lot of them were confirmed. That's what this post is mainly about.

To start off, Ant-Man has been receiving a lot of chat recently. The word on the street is that Armie Hammer (The Lone Ranger) will be portraying the part of Ant-Man. And us nerds have good reasoning. Armie has been spotted on the set of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. When someone asked him what he was doing, he said he was "visiting a friend". The Funny thing: He was by the Ant-Man-related set. He was piled with questions. He went from saying that he didn't know who the character was to being an expert on him and went from not knowing who Edger Wright (the director of Ant-Man) was to knowing him. Your raising a lot of suspicion here Mr. Hammer.
Edger Wright recently posted this picture of what the Ant-Man costume will look like.

Batman/Superman #1 Cover Reveiled!

s

About 10 hours before this post was published, DC Comics released the multiple covers of Batman/Superman #1. DC is trying to make it kind of like the Marvel's Infinity, meaning a big deal. It is, but not as big as Infinity. The three covers have been receiving split responses. Here Are the covers now. Even though you probably saw them before you read this. The first one, that you can see on your right, is the one that I personally, don't like. I think Superman looks to buff in his upper body, and then he has little shrimp legs. Plus the suit looks too Superman Returns, and I don't need to be reminded of that, just like Batman & Robin. Batman looks okay, although compared to Superman, he looks like a midget. I know that Superman is flying, but the blend doesn't look very good to me. I would have also liked a better font for the title. Isn't drop shadowing a little 1990's? The other thing I don't like about Batman is the fact that he looks too muck like the Batman Beyond version. You can't see his face, even if there isn't a shadow. The sides of his face are covered. Now unless they are trying to make Batman into Ninja who hides his face, I expected more from DC. Especially because this is considered The New 52. Take away the New 52 sign and the writers' names and I would have thought it was from the 80's or 90's. But the next one is more New 52. By far. It has everything that the first one doesn't, except for the lame font. It has the face of Batman, the more Modern Superman. And the awesome new silhouette trend that a lot of new comics have been adding.

I can totally see why this cover is New 52. although, now that I think of it, The New 52 was Called the New 52 because DC was releasing 52 new comic series. Now unless they had this planned since late 2011, it should be considered The New 53! Plus, if they wanted to add more series later on, they didn't do so well coming up with a title for the big reboot.

The only thing that might trouble me while reading this is Superman. Superman looks a little like the old Superman with the underwear. i can's STAND the Superman with the underwear. That's one of the reasons it was hard to watch Superman Returns and Superman 2-4. Superman 1 was too amazing to criticize with the exception of he Visual Effects.

And Last but sort of not least, considering the first one sucked, the third cover. This one is kind of in the middle of great and terrible. It's what I will call okay...

It's kind of the Action Comics Superman but it's okay. This one is more interesting because it has a background. I have reason to believe that Batman/Superman will take place in Gotham City, not Metropolis. Here's why. Not only did DC release the covers, bu they also released some pages of the actual comic. Now I don't know if this is from the beginning or if they are from somewhere in the middle. But the comics show our favorite Cat Burglar, plus, The background of the third cover looks like Arkham Asylum. Unless Superman picked up the asylum and carried it all the way to Metropolis, villains included, I think that this will be more focused around Batman. Why else would Batman's Name come first. Which I guess is fair because Superman could put all the escaped villains in jail in about hmm, lets see here, 2 SECONDS! DC just doesn't want to admit it or the whole series is doomed to fail, just like the 2006 Aquaman TV series!

That just about wraps up what I have to share for now.

Man of Steel Review

If you read my most recent updates post, you might know that I recently went to go see Man of Steel. I actually saw it Thursday but I wanted to really think about the movie a little more than i would for a normal movie. Normal not meaning bad, just, different. I actually consider Man of Steel different than other movies. It just had an interesting feel...


Man of Steel was overall a great movie. The big name cast was part of the success. The visual effects were outstanding. It's easy to say that Superman is now back with the rest of the world. I mean, there hasn't been a good Superman movie since the 70's. Superman 2-4 were okay. Superman Returns was an insult to DC Entertainment. And I never really liked any of the cartoons. Smallville was okay, but I honestly think that Man of Steel makes Smallville kind of boring.

The Movie was almost always giving you that edge-of-your-seat thrill. Man of Steel can connect with The Dark Knight Trilogy. With Chris Nolan in the producer's chair, it totally gives you that Dark Knight feel. Man of Steel, in a way, is a mix of Superman and Inception. It jumps back in time without really giving you a warning. Though, it's not as complicated as Inception, Man of Steel is without a doubt, one of the Best Movies of the Summer. I think it is the best Superhero movie of the summer. I have high hopes for The Wolverine, but by the trailers, it completely separates itself from the rest of the rest of the X-Men franchise. I honestly didn't like Iron Man 3. That's why, Man of Steel deserves a 9.4/10 rating. The beginning was a little slow and dark, but the movie picked up fast.

One of the things that helped earn that 9.4 rating was Superman's new suit. It looked way better without the spandex underwear and the ginormous boots. The great thing was, he didn't design the suit. It was modern apparel on Krypton.

To wrap things up, Man of Steel was an interesting and fun movie. Even though the same thing happened in this movie that happened in all science fiction movies now... They destroy the big city. Metropolis was trashed in the end. I think DC Entertainment finally has a Superman to brag about. Now if only we can give some other heroes a chance. Aquaman, or The Flash. And please make a better Green Lantern movie!
Now for my last sentence, I want to say one of those quotes that you see in ads or on the DVD cover...

"Best Superhero Movie of the Summer!"

Vacation, Man of Steel, & Stuff - Updates 6.22.13

It's been a while since I posted anything on the blog. I just got back from a great vacation. I didn't do anything with the blog, because I didn't have Internet access where I was. I also could have used a break. It was fun, but I have not abandoned you. Fresh post from before vacation are ready to be put up, and I always have three or four drafts being typed at once. Unfortunately, there will be no Cubed this week, mostly because I like to revise and edit those, and I never had anything typed and stuff. Excuses, excuses...
But I have not abandoned you. What I did do this past week was discover a new magazine/website. It's called Geek. Geek Magazine is pretty much a more professional and expansive version of my blog. I think I could really use this as a top source or inspiration. It is on my Favorite Sites/Sources page at the top if you click that. But the other thing did was go see Man of Steel! I'm a normal guy so I can't see everything as soon as it comes out. I saw it Thursday, so not even a week after it came out. Pretty good. I won't bee reviewing it but after I cover some other blog-related topics, I will sort of discuss the movie. So it's kind of a double post. It has updates and some of my ideas on the movie.
I also want to mention that I registered for ArmadaCraft! Armadacraft is a site for the much anticipated Minecraft Server by CaptainSparklez. It's a blog and a social network in one site. So go register, you must have Minecraft though, or it doesn't let you. But go register, then friend me or comment on my wall. My Username is HawkeyeJosh. Comment on the wall and maybe we can play some survival games or Super Craft Bros on a scheduled time and server. I will reply to those comments. On ArmadaCraft. Check me out!
Next I want to say thanks for all the positive comments on a lot of my posts. It's really inspiring and helpful. Some of the comments, i don't quite understand, but it's a compliment to someone, so thanks.
There's a little bit of constructive criticism but that only makes the blog better.
Next, the blog is on it's way to 2000 readers, so thanks for that If we can get to 2000 by mid July, I will write Cubed every Monday. Let me know if I should have Nathan help me. 2000 by mid
July...



As promised, I decided to do a mini-discussion on the topic of Man of Steel. To start, let me say that Superman snapped Zod's neck, which killed him. Zod's army trashed Metropolis. It ends with everyone calling him Superman and they respect his help fighting villains. There, if you didn't see man of Steel yet, and you just ignored the spoiler warning, I probably just ruined the experience for you.
I gave the movie a 9.5 out of 10. It was great!

Signs That Your Watching A Steven Spielberg Movie is Being Talked About Like Crazy!

That was a long title. What this post is for is to thank all of my readers for really shaping me as a blogger. As I've said before, I like a low-class, simple blog more than a giant one. You guys have turned this blog fron nothing, to everything. Not only am I getting comments a lot on "Signs That Your Watching A Steven Spielberg Movie", but I'm hearing some of my friends talking about it. Saying: "Have you heard about that Steven Spielberg Signs thing?" to me. I'll say: "I wrote it!"

So I just want to thank you blogwise for all the positive, constructive, and inspiring comments I've been seeing.

THANK YOU!

Cubed: June 17th!

Welcome to the third installment on Cubed. This Series of posts is pretty much Minecraft Geekery HQ!

To Start of the third week of Cubed, I want to get all the kids reading ready for school again, yes, I'm cruel. 

This work of blocks is by AdventureWanted from deviantart.com. As you probably already see, it's a  Middle School or High School in Minecraft. I wouldn't want to go to that school because It looks like it would take a while to get to! ;-D

Even though you can't see much from the inside, (if there is anything on the inside) it still looks like AdventureWanted put a lot of time and effort into creating this. This is something that, obviously, can only be achieved in Creative Mode. Survival Mode would be unrealistic. All those Quartz and Iron Blocks; CREATIVE MODE! Not like it matters, but this is still a real masterpiece, if you're ready for school again. The basketball court is impressive by itself. It would take me a few hours to perfect the symmetry and space. Yeah, I'm more of a survival kind of guy. And if you look closely, you can see a parking lot in the back!

The Next thing, I can't explain. This may be kind of stupid of me, but I think I'll just let you check it out.

It's a server! omegarealm.com
It's not mine so I'm not advertising!

Iron Man 3 Wrap Up, Yeah, it's a Little Late!

It's been a little more than a month since Iron Man 3 hit theaters. What did you think. I didn't review because up until now, I didn't know what to think about the movie. Speaking of which, if you haven't seen Iron Man 3 yet, I wouldn't read any further because I will talk about some spoilers, and some sneak peaks that you don't want to here. Go ahead and keep reading if you want to spoil the movie.

SPOILER ALERT

I enjoyed the movie, but I can't help but think that any other Iron Man movies would be unnecessary, and a waste of money. I want an Avengers 2 with Robert Downey Jr. and I want to see him in Guardians of the Galaxy. But another Iron Man solo movie, would be terrible. Especially since Tony just blows up is all of his suits. He finds Dummy the robot in the end and a screwdriver. That could mean he will start again. But the one thing that makes Iron Man Iron Man is Tony Stark. Now he is just human. You may know that Joss Whedon, The Director of The Avengers, says he would never make an Avengers movie without RDJ! 

Cubed: June 10th!

Welcome back to another awesome post in the Cubed summer series. All I do is tell you about some pretty cool stuff I've noticed on the Minecraft Forums, Links, things sent to me and other stuff. To start of the second Cubed post, how about another cool skin. Last week I showed you the skin that my friend Ethan came up with, and how it's getting pretty popular, but now I'm going to show you something that is extremely popular, in almost every Hunger Games I watch and/or play, there's some guy with this skin. You've probably seen it too. It's called Rubik's Cube Man. Especially if you've played a Hunger Games, it may be hard to see all the detail, even though there isn't much detail. I find it cool, I almost thought about changing my skin to that (I currently use a Hawkeye skin from the Avengers) before I made a Zombie Steve. As you can see, and you probably already have seen, there isn't much to see, but I give it points for being creative. Pretty much all it is is a guy in a tuxedo with a Rubik's Cube head. This is something that you could only get away with in Minecraft. In any other game where you can change your skin, this would look retarded. It's kind of like creative mode. you can fall from above the clouds without a parachute all the way to miles under the ground without a scratch, once again, getting up there is impossible in just about every other game, plus the falling... Good work Notch! No really, nice job Notch, that's pretty awesome. I also like on the skin that part of it is clear. With that power, you go go headless, or even invisible completely. I don't even think that is possible. Oh, and it may look like he has a huge belt on that sticks out wherever he goes, but no. The streaks of brown are actually his hands. That's why I thinks the original creator should have chosen a different color for the belt. Other than that, This skin is pretty Awesome. Wow, look how much you just read about one Minecraft Skin. Proof that you actually care about Minecraft! (Like anyone cool).

This next thing is another work of fan art. Made by schiz00phrenia. It's called The Enderman. It's his or her re-creation of an enderman. I think that it looks really good. It makes Minecraft a little more scary. "Crap, I wouldn't want to run into one of those guys!"

Overall, I think that it's really neat. I can tell just be looking at it that the artist, shiz00phrenia, put a lot of work into this, and look at  how it turned out! The colors are great, the shape and design are great. On the website I found it on, the user posted some information about the painting.

Hello there!
This is my third painting, representing my fav. mob in minecraft: Enderman!

Talking about the shape, i really stylized him. I followed my own view, this is why it looks like an alien or something, but it is truly based on Enderman.

Made with acrylic paint on an A4 paper.

Hope you like it!

The funny thing is that the website classified it in Macabre/Horror I never thought of Minecraft or Endermen as Macabre-ish things/beings/whatever, until I saw this picture. And isn't the Macabre a dance? I'd love to see an enderman dance. Almost as much as I want a hug from Slender Man!

I know this has only been two items, but I put a lot more time and effort into this post than I did the last. Plus, I think these are double the quality of the last three.

:)

Cubed: June 3rd!

Welcome to the first post on Cubed, the new series of posts where I go over some of the coolest things in the world of Minecraft! To kick of the summer, lets start off with a cool new skin that my friend Ethan came up with. It's actually pretty popular now! I've been playing on a few different servers recently and these guys keep popping up! Ethan named it the Enderman Hunter. It looks pretty sweet, I know he put a lot of time into this, and it turned out pretty cool. The colors look great, the design is great, I think that Ethan's idea was a success. Go ahead and comment if you've seen anyone with this skin on the servers you play on. Other than that, I don't know what browser he used to make this, but if you can find it, maybe I'll see you!


                                                 :-)




The Next awesome thing I NEED to show you guys is a neat picture. Most of the credit goes to another one of my friends, Nathan. He calls it the SUPER CREEPER BATTLE SUIT. He is a Creative Mode Expert. He can put together the coolest stuff within a few hours of visualizing and building. Seriously, when you get him building, he doesn't stop for at least three hours. He did most of the building. I barely helped out. It turned out wonderful.

One of the cooler things I wanted to point out was that this may look pretty on the outside, but on the inside, it's a redstone mess. You may be able to see the dispensers in the little slots on the sides, those are activated all at once, by a lever on the back of the creeper's head. They fire arrows at rapid fire. The amazing thing is that he made this without mods, he just spent a day or so on it (yeah, like I said, he is a creative expert).

This next item is not made by any one of my friends, ore anyone I know, It's hilarious fan art. It's risky in the real Minecraft world, but I find it funny.  

The Funny thing about this photo is that you can go and find a real creeper, and sure enough, the side of it's torso has a smiley face. I also want to point out, even though it apparently doesn't matter in this picture, that he struck out good on this mine. There's coal in the corner. I know it's not that big of a deal but you could mine it up for the levels and then through it somewhere else. There's redstone, which looks like it has to be deeper than that. And, there's  at least 5 visible diamonds. Even though diamonds aren't as good or important as friends. :) Plus, there has got to be something else besides coal, redstone, and diamonds in that room thing. It looks pretty big so there's probably some gold, iron, lapis, or emeralds in there.

That's all for now in the first Cubed post!

Tune in on certain Mondays for more Cubed!
