I went through The 36th Chamber of Shaolin and all I have is this blog post

Although it didn't have any sexy-jiggly boobs, it was a pretty good movie. Not that I'm suggesting movies need dangerous romances to be good, this is just an observation that I felt needed to be addressed. The last time I saw a movie with Shaolin monks was Cromartie High School so this one really raised the bar the martial arts actions. The training segment in the middle was right on the mark in raising spirits, but it was a bit bothersome how some of the chambers were only lightly touched upon. Another part that bothered me was the main character's super-human ability to survive, his leg was pretty bad by the time he got to the temple. My biggest issue was with the concluding fight. Even though the main character could summon an endless amount of strength and ability, he ended the fight with a headbutt to the groin, low blow indeed. The second biggest issues was the quality of the subtitles, I just don't understand. Listening to the Cantonese portions, a lot of the meaty details were cut out. Overall, its a good movie. Definitely for the fist-pumping action and not for anything else. If only there was a lead heroine, or not.

Enough about that, time to get dangerous. Welcome to the Danger Zone! How dangerous you ask? You could have died 5 times by now. Not dangerous enough for you? Are you sure that you're safe sitting where you are? A Turkish robot might barge in at this very moment! Look out, behind you, its a robot at the curtains! At least its not a giant transforming robot, or a platypus.
Ok, so your where you are probably isn't as dangerous as a space prison or Japan; unless you are in Japan, in which case I pity you. What with the Evangelion nonsense, death races and pulse-pounding cyberpunk noir. It might be better off to just simplify your life, maybe get something from the newest kiosk.
As for us radical dreamers, we gotta live life on the edge. Unless you're living super dimensionally, you're not doing it right.

Here's something I didn't draw. Looks good, huh? Enough of that, robot supplement.

BREAKARTS: Digital racing robots

By -
So, the CosmicBreak 2 kickstarter hasn't been doing to well and I think the best outcome for the long run would be for the project to not reach their goal by the time this campaign ends. From my perspective it seems like whoever running the crowd funding campaign complete mishandled the execution and management of the kickstarter. If it gets funded during this project it would justify their decisions, but failing will prompt them to review the project and potentially revive it in a much better form. However, this is just a recap to followup the previous post so lets move onto the main topic. While doing my usual indie game crawl across the internet I found an article on the Japanese version of Playism for BREAKARTS , a racing game with battling giant robots. For people from my generation this is reminiscent of IGPX with a look similar to Armored Core. Back in the day, and actually a few weeks ago, IGPX aired on Toonami and as advertised it involved  giant skating robots that foug...

Change of pace or format?

It has been a while since I last posted anything, but I don't plan on giving up writing a mini-review of The Little Battlers . However, I haven't had sufficient free time or interest  write anything for a while now. Inspired by a co-worker, idea posts might be just the thing to help me out of this slump without demanding too much investment. As a supporter of the theory of morphic resonance , I'm more interested in spreading concepts than gaining recognition. I recently discovered an interesting store that sells indie books, or dōjin , while checking the website of an artist that I follow. To my surprise a few of the artists that I follow also sold books through this store, even one using a pen name . Although the language is foreign to me, the visuals expressed are familiar. After successfully expanding my display/storage area, my desire to build models was renewed. Even though this was the most passion I've had in a while, it was only enough for me to window -...
