In the mid 1990´s, Lucasfilm released a "Star Wars" event in the form of a new storyline called "Shadows of the Empire". It had all the merchandise of a movie, but without the movie. It had a pocket book, a CD with orchestral music, a Nintendo 64 videogame and action figures.<br />
<br />
The CD with the soundtrack of the non-existent movie was sort of the pride of my Star Wars collection. It had the original John Williams theme and had original themes made to match imaginary scenes in the book. The new themes were composed by Joel McNeely who also had made one amazing soundtrack for the "Young Indiana Jones Chronicles".<br />
<br />
Somehow i always imagined that Joel McNeely would be the sucessor of John Williams after he retires.<br />
<br />
But eventually i think the title of a John Williams sucessor was split between Michael Giacchino (Star Trek 2009, Rogue One), John Ottman (X-men 2, Solo) and Joel McNeely (the Orville).Victor Hugohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01218781013312099305noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090017667198409651.post-66023819842495677172018-06-11T05:53:00.000-07:002018-06-11T05:54:21.193-07:00Irulan - A Dune Story - poster concept<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjLalHSv6I0L0xFBDXpLg8Ehz2KMbukVx3vMihuoqyw2mWdRDZpvpjRY7_0VtTj5lEizOfTjBnm4-bg2RckTZgRe0ffIWxXp-rbwBqynaaxv-6d00n9PvG_UZ_vwGGPsWq4jydwYVsTMU/s1600/startrekVIbook2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="681" data-original-width="450" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjLalHSv6I0L0xFBDXpLg8Ehz2KMbukVx3vMihuoqyw2mWdRDZpvpjRY7_0VtTj5lEizOfTjBnm4-bg2RckTZgRe0ffIWxXp-rbwBqynaaxv-6d00n9PvG_UZ_vwGGPsWq4jydwYVsTMU/s400/startrekVIbook2.jpg" width="262" /></a>"Star Trek VI " was the first Star Trek movie i watched on theaters on 1991. It left quite the impression, it never lost its bite, and it never gets "old", which is funny ´cause it´s a movie which talks mostly about age.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Star Trek" its always best when it tackles about real world issues, and in this case was no exception. As any kid growing on the 80s, we always had the looming threat of the nuclear war looming in our nightmares. The "Usa Vs Soviet Union" theme was everyday issue since airing of the the movie "Day After" in 1982. I watched "Rambo II" and "Rocky IV" on theaters so the cold war was always something to discuss about in school. So, when the Chernobyl accident occurred, our folks discussed "now this is it", the end of the world is near. It didn´t, soon followed Perestroika and slowly the nuclear war menace was vanishing from our nightmares (only to be replaced to nightmares about calculus tests).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, "Star Trek VI" was riding this wagon. The villains Klingons were always proxies for the "otherness", the "bad guys", the savage villains to be defeated. May it be the "huns" or the "soviets" or "biker thugs", they represented the adversary for the idealistic humans from the Federation. Like a comic strip "Sev Trek" once said "Someone has to make us look good". So, in "Star Trek VI", the Klingons "chernobyl" exploded, leaving them vulnerable and wishing to end the cold war, only to have saboteurs from both sides trying to stop the incoming peace. War is profitable and some people were addicted to it and unwilling to change, Captain Kirk included.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The novelization of "Star Trek VI" follows the pattern of many book novelizations. Pick some scene from a movie and extend it in both ends. Make it start before the scene you know from the movie and let it end after the same scene. In some cases it works brilliantly and in some cases, becomes a little tiresome cause such scene was just fine as it was.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this book, some extra elements were added to make Kirk be angry with the Klingons. In the third movie of the series, Kirk´s son was killed by the villain Kruge and this is reason enough to make him hate all the species.In this book, Kirk´s former girlfriend Carol Marcus was also wounded by a Klingon attack, making Kirk extra angry, a fact which is repeated a little too often on the book, which makes the movie a little lacking in comparison, as no mention of Carol is made or implied.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aside of that, everything else that works very well on the movie, works very well here. As most characters have "thought balloons" making the story even more personal. The drama is there, the urgency is there, and so the stakes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In short, this story never gets old. :)</div>

I consider this 2014 "ALIEN" game to be a masterpiece that deserves more attention than it got.<br />
<br />
In the story, which serves as a sequel to the first ALIEN, take place while Ellen Ripley is drifting in her 57 cryo sleep and her daugher Amanda leaves to a remote space station in search of info on her location.But, that giant space station, Sevastópol, also had astronauts who visited the planet in which the Xenomorph ship has crashed and brought Aliens on board. So chaos ensues.<br />
<br />
To make things worse, the Station has a central Artificial Intelligence which remote controls the servant androids, the Working Joes, which are buggy as hell, so they can be andomly friendly or violent.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
That´s the stage for this gigantic game. As Amanda, you must solve the mystery of the station, search for Ripley´s black box, outsmart the ALIEN who can hear you just fine and fight crazy robots. I nearly had a heart attack playing this game. This game will lead to anxiety attacks as you can´t drop a paper clip without leading the ALIEN to your vicinities.<br />
<br />
If you missed this game, i recommend you that you give it a go. I think thiso is a worthy ALIEN sequel. No Prometheus nonsense, no Fasbending, no nothing.<br />

They were beautiful and creative, considering the hardware limitations of the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the time i had just read Arthur Clarke´s<b> "Rama"</b> series, about an mysterious alien ship who were collecting species around the universe for its alien Zoo, humans included. So Sierra released a massive computer game about those books, in a beautiful box with 3 CDs, complete with filmed actors and CGI scenarios, in which humans astronauts board the passing ship "Rama" and explore its environments. I recall having a blast, spending weeks solving the (not so difficult) puzzles and riddles. Arthur Clarke himself appeared to give tips from time to time to the gameplay. If you´re into retro-gaming, they may you have a good hunt!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I loved this book when i read it in the 1990s. "Fantastic Voyage II: Destination Brain".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 1991 i was working far from home and a long train journey was necessary.. I was binge reading a whole collection of Isaac Asimov´s books to the level of obsession. (what better way to enjoy a subject?).So, the original "Fantastic Voyage" was a 1966 movie in which Asimov was hired to write a novelization. In that story a miniaturized ship with a full crew of scientist must dive in the bloodstream of a man to save him navigating in between several organs. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 1987, Asimov wrote the sequel, which is a full self contained adventure on its own.In the (HIS) story, a miniaturized ship is inserted into a dying man´s bloodstream to save him, i mean, save a discovery he made, and they need to navigate his brain and rescue the info before he dies completely to death. I had a medical book about the brain beside me to understand all the biological terms and brain architecture, i felt like a scientist myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The catchphrase "The situation scalates quickly' surely applies to the story. If you find this book into a dusty bookstore, be sure to get your copy.</div>

I played this amazing game to the ground on the PS1, with graphics ahead of its time, well used John Williams soundtrack, and all and all, the first filmed Star Wars footage in decades. Along with "Galactic Battlegrounds" for the PC, and "Episode III" for the PS2, this is my favourite Star Wars game :)<br />

This was a gorgeous visual guide that included many things from the Expanded Universe, such as comics and books, but after the "Force Awakens", they were removed from the canon. Still, many things from the Old Republic are sure to be revisited in future Star Wars installments.</div>

The Marvel Star Wars comics drawn by Al Williamson are a labor of love. The inks are so perfect tgat the colors, both old and new, nearly hurt it.</div>

Greetings fellow nerds.<br />
<br />
Allow me to recommend this movie i watched yesterday, "Train to Busan" which is by far the best movie i saw this year. It´s a south Korean survival horror movie, in which passengers of an speeding train witness a zombie outbreak, and must head to the last quarantined city of Busan.<br />
<br />
Koreans are the masters of tearjerking TV melodramas, and they use all their talents in this small but sharp masterpiece. Its like "World War Z" meets "28 days later" on a doom train.<br />
<br />
Well, South Korea has some of the best TV dramas, the best K-Pop songs, best dance coreographies and now have the best zombie movies too. :) Here´s my recommendation, have your kleenex ready.Victor Hugohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01218781013312099305noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090017667198409651.post-2781778234357175302016-12-15T03:47:00.002-08:002016-12-15T03:47:16.305-08:00Spoilers for the ending of "Spiderman Homecoming"<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

How come no Star Trek fan has mentioned this one yet? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the movie "X-men: Apocalypse", the 5000 year-old super-mutant-with-a-god-complex wakes up from his entombment in the 1980s Cairo. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Still disoriented he walks into Ororo´s home, in there he finds a TV set which is airing the "Star Trek" episode "Who Mourns for Adonais?", and then he learns in that episode that the "Age of Gods" is gone. and that pisses him. So Star Trek is to blame for his apocalyptical behaviour throughout the movie. :) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the previous movie, "X-men Days of Future Past" there was also a Star Trek easter egg, as Hank McCoy was watching Star Trek in his workspace, the episode "The Naked Time" which also involves time travel.</div>

Greetings folks! Allow me to share with you this relic i acquired recently. "The Dark Knight Manual", 112 pages, giant sized, based on the Christopher Nolan´s Batman trilogy. It´s a guide to tools, vehicles, and technologies shown in the movie.<br />

This book presents concept arts, sketches, charts, but not in a "making of" kind of way, but in a immersive RPG sort of way, as if this was Bruce Wayne´s personal notebook.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this awesome bright, heavy and colored 200 pages edition there´s wonderful renders of characters, scenarios, equipment and vehicles which appeared in the Rocksteady "Batman" games.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It´s a beautiful visual memento for the fans of the series. A little bit on the "obvious" side of things, as the alternate uniform gallery, which sounds more like excuses than explanations per se "This uniform would be more at home in a TV show" "This spiky uniform is something that Azrael would use".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then again, it´s all in good fun, as even the Arkham games have the fun element on it, as everyone is strong and bulky, so "badass" all the time that you can´t help but smile. But I´m just a fan, so let the gorgeousness of the thing speaks for itself.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was hunting for Sci-Fi movies on Netflix and I just remembered this incredible minisseries from 2006 "THE LOST ROOM".</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was 3 movie like episodes aired on the Sci-fi channel.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It´s hard to talk about it without a few spoilers, but here we go. The story involves people who collects "the objects". The objects are seemingly ordinary objects like glasses, keys, knivess, bus tickets. BUT due to the mysterious "Event", a glitch in the universal matrix, the purpose of these objects were cosmically scrambled, like in programming, their "actionscript" gets messed up: the wristwatch boils eggs, the bus ticket teleports people to New Mexico, the comb stops time for ten seconds and so on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, a sort of not so secret club is formed around those objects, obsessed collectors reunite trying to sort it of its powers, and debunk "fake" objects or objects with unknown powers. More dangerous factions researching the objects arrive to terrifying conclusions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some people try to use these "superpowers" to their advantage, but since their are messing with a "failure" in the coding of the universe, everything goes wrong with them</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am tempted to tell more, but if you haven´t seen it, i urge you to save a day to enjoy this hidden masterpiece.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I treated myself to a movie the other night, it was ALIEN 3 on bluray. I know we´re supposed to despise it, but i like this movie. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Somehow it has that 'Damn, this is really happening" feel to it, when a hero is doomed and she´s not gonna make it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The camera takes its time with people and scenery, it´s not rushing or shaking. The haunting and terribly sad Elliot Goldenthal soundtrack is a treat to the ears. It confuses my head, how can something so awful be so beautiful? </div>

I´m truly loving this precious gem of a game: "Valkyria Chronicles".<br />
<br />
One of mine favourite games of all time was "Fire Emblem" on the Nintendo GBA, in which you commanded your troops in a turn based strategic RPG. It had a "GUILT" based system of sorts, as each of your soldiers had a backstory, they are no nameless goons, everyone has friends, relatives, and it´s devastating when each of them bite the dust.<br />
<br />
But, since then i turned to Sony and it´s playstations, so i was cut out of Fire Emblem sequels. Until i found this marvelous game, which is basically a super Fire Emblem, a spiritual sequel. You command your troops, in a alternate reality steampunk 1930´s, enjoy the anime storytelling and cry your heart out when they die for good (which i don´t intend too).<br />
<br />
So, if you want to play a steampunk game which looks like a Miyazaki movie, i truly recommend this one.Victor Hugohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01218781013312099305noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090017667198409651.post-2286815414062748032016-01-19T03:24:00.002-08:002016-01-19T03:25:23.403-08:00My Green Lantern figurines :) <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Recently i finished an amazing japanese RPG "Fate Extra" on the PSP.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
"Fate Extra" is a spin off game based on the "Fate Stay Night" anime. On the "Fate Stay Night" anime, which is based on the visual novel of the same name.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The characters are mages who fight for the holy grail, an all power wishing granting device, in a tournament, and for that, they summon historical figures who act as all powerful servants to fight for them. (think Pokemon meets Highlander)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
On the "Fate Extra" game, the player is one of those mages, who wakes up without memory in a japanese school, which serves as setting for the tournament.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
If you´re a male player, there´s two female warriors you can choose (saber or caster). If you´re a female player. there´s one male (archer).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
As the story goes, you´ll form a bond with your magical servant, getting you more than hooked in the game. There´s an arena in which you fight random creatures to level up while preparing to fight with the enemy master. Before each round, each fight with an enemy master and his secret servant you have to gather information, interview other students to try to get information on their identity, so you can prepare your defenses against them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Long story short. “Star Ocean: First Departure” for the PSP (2007) is a game that is the perfect marriage of Star Trek and Final Fantasy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This game is like “Final Fantasy” set in the “Star Trek” universe, told by the point of view of a heroes from a medieval backwater planet meeting an advanced “Starfleet” like planetary organization. Gosh, they even have their “Guardian of forever”.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In many ways, it´s more “Trekky” than most Star Trek games, (often reduced to mere dumb shooters) ´cause the science fiction here is on Asimovian levels of quality. Their spaceship has the bridge, engineering, even a mess hall, you could feel at home like in a Federation vessel. There are plenty of alien cities and ships to explore.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also played the third “Star Ocean” on the PS2 a few years back. It´s really a game a trekker should take the time to play it, it´s amazingly rewarding.</div>

<br />
It has synopsis of every Trek story book published (up to printing of this book) and thousands of interviews of writers, which are entertaining per se. Most of them are professionals, aficcionados, but some of them are just average joes making a buck (and doing a good job while on it)<br />

Have you folks have read books from the "Shatnerverse"?<br />
<br />
They are pocketbooks written by Shatner and friends in the late 1990s to 2000s) focused on Kirk (obviously) and are massive ego-trips but immensily fun reading. Real page turners from my point of view.<br />
<br />
Using the whole Trek universe as a sandbox, Kirk´s adventure starts slowly and depressing shortly after the movie Star Trek VI. Then a vengeful admiral sets him up for something evil, using a lady in distress as a bait. Then goes a plot which really completes Star Trek VI and stops right before "Generations".<br />
<br />
"The Return" takes place after Generations and before First Contact, and so "Dark Victory" takes the events from First Contact to teell another great story. (The events from First Contact created the Mirror Universe!<br />
<br />
A quieter story, but equally compelling is "Avenger" which tells a plausible story of Vulcan saboteurs which want to stop mankind from wrecking ecosystems across the universe by mindless colonization. That would make a whole season of talkative "Next Generation " episodes.<br />
<br />
So these books "tie the knots" of many TNG threads left abandoned. It kinda feels like Babylon 5 and X-files, with a big conspiracy going on. (hey, it´s the 1990s).<br />
So, heres my suggestion for treasure hunting :) <br />

HAWKMAN is surely one majestic action figure. He is bigger than a pigeon.</div>

I guess this is the most amazing HAWKMAN figure i ever saw, and this includes the "Superpowers" collection from 1984. :) </div>

Forgive me blogspot, it´s been years since my last blogging. It´s all ´cause i´m drawing my webcomics, and drawing for work, and drawing for fun. Well, lets put this space to good use, so if some brave soul gets stranded here, he might get distracted for a few minutes.<br />
<br />
So, i´ll be reviewing items from my treasure chest, stay tuned. :)<br />
