Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Trailer

Wednesday, May 30, 2012 · Posted in , ,

Trailer Post! That means a recap from a recently released trailer...and what better than Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, a Tim Burton movie without Johnny Depp (i know right?!) and her first decent trailer which was released. Note to self, this is a Red Band Trailer which means the PG+18 scenes are in.


First thing we learn from the trailer is the mister Abraham Lincoln was a vampire hunter. Who knew right?! Here is him in a white suit killing, what i'm guessing is a vampire in the movie. (Okay for those who don't know the movie is based on a book - what a surprise..like they would like think of something new!).

Usual tragic story, of watching a parent being killed by vampire. Let's move on....

I know this guy from somewhere..let me check...ah! Yes! He was papa Stark at Captain America! Here is a teacher of slaying.

Weapon of choice: AXE! bahahaah! This can only mean one really violent movie my friends!

Told ya!!!

OUCH! I mean ouch! ewwww!!! Little more violent than what i was expecting but maybe exciting too? Seriously, this doesn't seem so much as a Burton movie so far.

I feel like the movie will be released in 3D. Many explosions too.


Simple title but i like! The movie seems full of action, not too scary with enough killing and really bad vampires. It does not remind me of Burton at all! Maybe is the absence of his usual cast. Will be watching this at the cinema :)

Do I Know You? #2

Once Upon A Time

There are plenty of characters at Once Upon Time (though it's way easier to remember them than GOT) and many of them have been previously seen in other works too...now let's see what i managed to dig up!

I loved loved Ramona And Beezus! It's just so extremely funny! And that's why i recognized easily our Snow White! I prefer her with long hair and badass though!

He is so handsome! Maybe that's why he stayed at my mind from Thor! After i watched Thor, i just wanted to see him again in a movie, and here he is as Prince Charming/James!

I knew i've seen her somewhere! Everyone was telling me they knew Jennifer Morrison from House M.D but i don't watch House M.D. So after some IMDB searching i found what i wanted! Grind! It must be around 10 years since i watched this movie. It's a movie about skaters in case you are wondering.

Silvestro was telling me he knew the actor from Stargate or something? Again, i haven't watch the show? So where do i know him? From the epic fail movie of Eragon of course. He was Derza :)

Belle is one of my favorite characters at the show! And though i haven't watch Remember Me, with the advertisement Robert Pattinson gets, i actually recognized her.

Another actor seeing in one of the Avengers films! Mad Hatter was Captain America's bff at the movie! Easily recognized ^.^

Well did not expect that. Her face was telling me something, but if i didn't scroll all the way down at her IMDB page i wouldn't have never remember her from FD2. In case you are wondering she died. I also don't like her Blue Fairy character at OUAT either.

Yes this is the same woman! Cinderella was previously seen at Falling Skies. If i remember right, she has been abducted by the aliens at the moment. They will probably save her at Sn.2. We will see...

Little Snow White!! I adore this little girl! I found her quite talented! Not only she was a perfect young Snow White, but she was incredibly funny at both Wizards of Waverly Place and Just Go With It with Adam Sandler.


Okay i'm missing many characters...but the thing is i didn't really know any of their works even though i searched for them. They just seem like i know them, but i don't. Still if you are wondering about someone feel free to ask :p

Did you recognize any of the actors above too?

Avacyn Restored Fatpack

Friday, May 25, 2012 · Posted in , , , ,

Now, unlike Yiota who was dragged to magic by me, my first experience with Magic:The Gathering was a bit blurry. All i remember was that someone, somewhere around 2000 or so bought me a deck for a present. My initial reaction was more or less a mixture of confusion and interest. The geek seed was already planted in me. I remember by that time my brother was into heavy metal so he had made me a few cassettes with Rhapsody of Fire, their album Power of the Dragonflame or something like that. As I was completely bored I started looking into what the hell those weird stuff were.


The game seemed to have magic spells, creatures and it seem to blend in well with the whole epic metal thing from Rhapsody, so I started playing games by myself (growing up with one older brother and a much younger sister meant that I had to spent my middle-highschool years having lots of time to myself, since my brother was "too old for those stuff" and I was too young to start bothering with going out till late and stuff).Not to mention that that was the area that lord of the rings got out. I still remember watching the first movie with my brother and mother, late at night and with all lights down. As a little teenager the whole moody atmosphere and violence was completely new to me, exciting as it was, but my brother obviously took the chance to scare the shit out of me in Moria but that is another story, anyway.

 Persistence wins however so I finally found one of my friends with cards that would end up playing with me (Maximos, Yiota). I started playing a few games with only the basic rules and little to no knowledge of any of the rules such as "swampwalk" or "scry" etc. I even managed to go to a booster draft to observe how they play. Then i just let go. I mean Magic is cool and all, but spending money on a card game that you have no one to play with was just pointless. However in the start of this year Filios went all "Hey dude, wanna start playing magic?". I was skeptical obviously, since Filios has a history of starting things with me and either letting them go sooner than i do, or just simply outrunning me leaving me way behind, which makes me get bored because in either situations I end up playing alone to catch up. This time however he had promised to keep interest, and after I saw that Yiota was not exactly absolute on her "no"'s (plus Silvestro played too) I was like, eh what the hell, lets check it out.

My first starter pack was Gravepower from the Dark Ascension setting from the Innistrad plane. It was a rather okish deck (it has become one of my top decks in terms of strength however) but it made me look more into the whole setting. Innistrad is apparently a rather "Underworld" kind of themed plane. The first thing I noticed: WEREWOLVES!....Well....I think I should look more into those settings hmmm?

I think its pretty much obvious that Innistrad has taken my full love as a magic plane for all time! I mean it seems like it was literally made for me. Werewolves, vampires, dark-gothicish mood? And then I saw Avacyn Restored mechanics that seemed to come out to literally finish off an already "Johnny-labeled" plane. They took all the awesome part of the set and added teamwork on it. I mean they could as well just place a "For Johnny" in the front of the setting and just slap it in my face!

Needless to say. I had to get the fatpack for Avacyn (the other 2 sets are going to be my next buys). And today I got to open it! Well, you will see in the video bellow exactly what I got so I will just tell my overall impressions.



Well in all honesty it could be a LOT better. From all those booster packs, i got not even a single foil and i got LOTS of duplicate cards. HOWEVER, i got some very fine additions and some pretty nice cards from the whole booster packs. The box, leaflet, dice and off course the land cards however make up for the whole thing. I was pretty excited to get the fat pack, and in my opinion it was totally worth it! Here is the video bellow!

Magic The Gathering Package Arrived

Thursday, May 24, 2012 · Posted in , , , ,

Two months ago i started playing Magic The Gathering. Let's simply say i'm obsessed and broke. So i'm trying to convince myself, and both Johnny and Filios to stop buying cards until the new expansion set comes out. We are failing... This is what it's supposed to be the last package of MtG of me and Johnny until September.


As always in everything, i am the one receiving all the orders and i so feel like Santa xD On the photo above you see an Intro Pack from Innistrad, and Battle Pack from 2012 Core Set, and Avacyn Restored Fatpack. The fatpack is Johnn'y's, and obviously i'm not allowed to open it, so i won't be able to show you right now what it has inside. But it i will be there when he does open it and capture everything ^.^

But until then, let's enjoy the pure awesomeness of my cards starting with the Battle Pack :)
The battle pack surprised me because i did not know exactly what was inside. It's supposed to have to two 20 set decks for a quick game or something. When i opened it, two boxes connected were inside. The red box had red/black cards and a booster, and the black box had green/white cards and a booster.

 Let's take a look on the inside of the red box first - Before we start, we need to mention my luck was extremely good today in more than the cards (maybe today is the day i will find the Narnia door!).


Yes the photo is messed up i know! But i was too excited to check if it was okay! So opening opening opening!
The first two rows, are the ones from the deck. I'm not planning to keep the deck like that, i will just take the cards i like and put them into mine! Especially a dragon i happened to get. Most of those others i already had but still it's a good bunch.
The third row is the booster random cards. And yes i found a Foil card in! I was like "yay wee foil wee" if you know what i mean, and it's also red which means it will probably being used too, soon.

 Let's hop to the black box then with the green/white cards!

Chandra on the booster only means luck my friend! She might not be the strongest planeswalker but she is kind of awesome.
And of course i was right...love the white cards! They are all going to be used! And i needed some plains too ;) Third row is the booster as before...and yes another Foil...and a Planeswalker too (1st ever!). By that time i was like "what is happening today?!".

Soooo this is everything inside the small pack which cost me 10 euros. But because buying cards it's never enough, i also bought the Spectral Legions Intro Deck from Innistrad. Inside was included another booster.
The Angel next to the pack was the Foil included inside and the rest are the cards from the booster. Which okay, maybe they are not exactly what i need but they are exactly what my friends needed! Especially Johnny...which means i probably will trade cards with him when he opens his fatpack!! RAHAHAHA!!

This was definitely the most exciting opening of cards so far and the most wow (well maybe except when i got my dragons, because you know how much i love dragons!) because it simply fills the gaps of my decks.

Oh! And thanks to dfantasy.gr/eshop for their quick delivery and their great service. I even got a discount code :)

Do I Know You? #1

Sunday, May 20, 2012 · Posted in , ,

Okay since is the first time i do that kind of post i will explain what it is. There are many times when i watch a movie, or tv series where i see random actors and i'm like "i know you from somewhere hmmm"..and then i can't take it out of my mind until i manage to remember where i have seen them or search for them. And that's exactly what's the post about. When something like that happens to me, a post will pop up!

Game of Thrones
Okay....Game of Thrones has not just a huge cast but many guest stars too. Let's see what we have from the first so far since i don't want to spoil characters from Sn.2.

Sean Bean and Leana Headey were the two actors i recognized immediatelly so i will leave them out of this post.

Mama Stark...thank you IMDB for helping with this one. There was no way in the world to remember that Michelle Fairley was also Hermione's mum at Harry Potter 7!


Iain Glen was an easy one too. Resident Evil was the first that came to mind, followed by Downton Abbey and later after searching at Tomb Raider too.
from RE

Peter Dinklage was another easy one. Especially if you watch the Narnia movies a couple of times :p I think he was also in Penelope though?
from Narnia 2
 Robert Baratheon? Our diseased king? Thanks agian to IMDB because my mind didn't go there at all...Knight Tale's with Heath Ledger!
from Knight's Tale
I have no idea why the commander actually stayed in mind from Narnia but he did. Santa Claus!
Narnia 1
Natalia Tena really got on my nerves. I could not remember a movie, a name or anything and i didn't even know her name at Game of Thrones (i thought she would die from the first episode she appeared so i didn't pay attention) and i really did some digging. I should be ashamed of course. As someone who has watched HP dozens of times i should have recognized her. She is Tonks of course.
HP
Another HP characters, but this one i remember immediately as Filch ^^ At GOT he appeared only once so far, as a king who helped Robb with his war at Sn.1.
HP
There were many more i researched, at least 90% of the cast but they didn't really make me go crazy for their previous works or from where i know them.
Til next time ;)

The Witcher 2 Prenium Edition

Saturday, May 19, 2012 · Posted in , ,

Soooo i guess visiting Public is like the worst thing for me. I mean here i am, with another used game i was never planning to buy :P

I present you...tam tam tam....the Witcher 2 Prenium Edition.

 Looking good eh? Need to mention that i haven't played the first, but i have read the book which the game is based on, so i have an idea what's about. Now, let's open it...

A game guide for starters...from the fast look i had, it seems like a walk-through of some sorts. I also took a photo of a random page (do i see the word dragon there? ha! talk about luck!) to see what i mean.


Then we have the Soundtrack and the Bonus DVD. I totally forgot to take a photo of the back of the box..eh! Still, the bonus dvd as i understand is some sort of documentary on the game. More about it when i watch it.

And we continue with the game ^^

And now some fun swag!!! Guess what? A map!!! Yay for me being excited about it! It looks awesome :D
Some sort of letter, i don't want to read it yet in case it spoils something from the game :p


And lastly..okay this is fun! It had paper craft! Haha! One is Gerald and the other is a little monster which i believe it's called Nekka or something. How cute is it? :p


What do you think? I quite happy with my purchase. I bought the whole thing for the half price and for a used game it's in a really good condition. Almost perfect. I checked around and i saw there are many different editions of it. Do you have any? The Limited Edition has Geralt's head inside XD
