KoF 12 prize arrived (Short Post)
AhmetBeraty | 10:37 PM on 08.20.2009 5 comments


I won a combo pack during the twitter party with Dinomas. The poster signed by Eisuke Ogura (the illustrator of
the game) came about a week ago. I just got the game this morning. I've played it all day, and all I have to say is
that it just feels unfinished. Before anyone says anything, I want to apologize for any spelling or grammar errors.
Also, the pictures are shit because i took them with my phone.






To anyone else here who won, I was wondering if you got the same poster or if it was of a different character?
If so, who did you get?

New lord of the Rings MMO
AhmetBeraty | 12:22 PM on 08.15.2009 2 comments



I just received an email invitation to a gaming survey. It was through utalkback.com , so i couldnt tell who exactley
the survey was from. But after it asked the basic questions like age, what gaming consoles you own, and how
often you play. It asked if I would play Lord of the Rings MMO for the xbox 360 or PS3. during the survey it gave
some detailes, like there are 8 races. and that you could play evil or good. like every other MMO, I dont play MMOs
so im not sure if this is alot, but they said there would be over 600 different quests. than it asked about certain
locations, which should be featured in the game, and which to leave out. it also asked stuff like big battles or small
battles. It was pretty sweet. i dont like LotR, but it still sounds awesome. ive always wanted an mmo for my
console.

X-men Origins: Wolverine review
AhmetBeraty | 2:51 PM on 05.03.2009 6 comments




When i first heard of this movie i thought it would be complete horrible shit. and as the movie was under production, more and more info was being released. at first i only knew the title and that Hugh jackman was obviously gonna be wolverine. wasn't very exiting. then i started to learn that deadpool (my fav. marvel character), the blob, and gambit were going to be in this. then i found out that ryan reynolds, one of my favorite actors, was playing deadpool , my favorite character. well, i just came all over myself by that point. i was so pumped for this movie. i found out it was online, and decided to watch it like almost every other fanboy. i was sorely disappointed, deadpool was in the movie for only ten minutes, i was furious. i kept watching for him to come back. like every other member of the secret task force in the beginning of the film. finally deadpool came back, which pissed me off even more. what they did to him was worse than having him in the movie for only ten minutes. i would have rather scene him for those ten glorious, beautiful minutes. than to have my favorite hero destroyed like that. I just wanted to get that out there. because whenever i talk to anyone about it they ask me who deadpool is.



Now to talk more about the movie, and not deadpool. the movie starts in 1840. with logan and victor as kids. there is some confusion with another man in their house. logan ends up stabbing the man who turns out to be his real father with his (bone) claws. him and victor than run away. then the opening credits start rolling which is kinda like watchmens opening, except this is scenes of them through all the war (civil war, world war I and II, and then Vietnam) they get booted from the army. than general stryker recruits them for his black ops team. Logan leaves because he hates the things they are doing.

Logan is now in Canada with his girlfriend, trying to live a normal life. But he's a mutant so hes not allowed to have a normal life. victor comes back and kills his girlfriend. Logan then swears that he will get his revenge. and that is what the rest of the movie is about.



the plot seams really basic, it is. don't go expecting a serious, dark drama. this is a summer blockbuster. meaning Action injected with a mixture of adrenaline and steroids. they are all great actors but it doesn't come across in this movie, their inst enough dialogue for it to. most of the big interactions consist of a few growls and snarls and then end in a giant fight.



i did enjoy this movie, because it was an action movie injected with the lethal mixture of roids. sometimes thats all that's necessary from a superhero movie. this movie is worth going to if you want to see an awesome ass kicking superhero movie. its kinda a disappointment to fanboys. well your gonna see it anyway if your a fanboy.

let me state again. this movie is just average. not good, but definitely not the worst movie ever. the plot is weak, and the acting is bad, but its good for an action movie. besides, there are much worse comic movies.

I havent played the game yet but, i hear that its pretty good.

P.S. i actually saw this in theaters as well as online, dont say any shit about me illegally watching it. on second thought i would just watch the unrendered version online, save the eight dollars for something else.

Set phasers to stun : Star Trek review
AhmetBeraty | 4:11 PM on 05.02.2009 6 comments



I was one of the lucky few who got the chance to see this movie weeks before it came out. I want to start off by saying, I am not by any means a Trekkie. i have only scene three films, i didn't really like them very much. i will not be posting an extended plot summary because there is no way i can do that without giving away major spoilers.

Star Trek was very good. i went in thinking i was going to get lost and hopefully have everything explained later. but it was very easy to pick up, maybe that's because its a prequel and i didn't need to know anything about the characters. Their were some references tossed in to please the original Trekkies but i pretty much got the just of it.

The movie was great for Trekkies and Nubs. the story was interesting, in a good way. with most sci fi movies i tend to get bored, because i get lost with some terms used, but this was very easy to follow along. it kept me entertained. With most movies I reach that point were I am thinking "when is this garbage gonna be over" never once did this occur .i was so engulfed that i felt like i was abound the USS enterprise. maybe i was just mesmerized by the amazing plot, and acting in this movie. for most of the film i was literally on the edge of my seat.



Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto were both amazing. they both caught the essence of the characters they played. Pine was very charismatic, and foolhardy. Quinto on the other hand was amazing for showing no emotions.the rest of the cast; John Cho, Simon Pegg, Karl Urban, and Zoe Saldana all did exceptionally well.



The cgi was beautiful, my jaw dropped during the opening scene with captain Neros ship. the score set the mood. the movie sent me through a spectrum of emotions. i was sad when it came to an end, because i could have stayed in that theater for days (with some food, and a bottle to go in) and continued watching star trek. i wouldn't be surprised if a sequel to this prequel comes out in a couple of years. this movie is definitely worth the 8 dollars. go out and see this multiple times, unfortunately you and I have to wait to may 8th.

oh and spock and kirk get into an awesome fight



Live Long, and Prosper!
