Stardust Drive Podcast Episode #6

Posted on by

So here we are in the brutally hot month of July, where tensions flare and opinions never die.

Chris returns this month as the fantastic four discuss topics such as Resident Evil 6′s health regeneration system, the Resident Evil 6 demo, Assassin’s Creed and Deus Ex’s film adaptations, Gears Judgement, Sonic Adventure 2, and Magic 2013. The group also answers (in their opinions) some of the strongest topics to date, including whether or not games today lack difficulty as opposed to games made decades ago, games that took the shortest amount of time to beat, and games that took a stab at our emotions.

It’s a cluster**** of madness. Its loud, its obnoxious, there’s a ton of swearing, but there’s intellect, well-thoughtout opinion-based topics and good-old-fashioned fun that you’ll only find here on the Stardust Drive Podcast.

Enjoy!

SD Podcast Episode 6

SDCC 2012 – Marvel set for the next two to three years with films

Posted on by

Marvel’s present was well-known on Saturday, when they unveiled “Phase Two” of self-produced movies. “Phase Two” is ultimately the movies that will be showcasing between Avengers and its possible sequel, where the characters will all meet back for another epic adventure in Avengers 2.

The big reveals include Thor and Captain America’s sequels: The Dark World (Thor), and The Winter Soldier (Cap). Now The Dark World got me intrigued. Will it have something to do with Thanos, as per the world shown in The Avengers, or is this a completely new world we have yet to discover? And heck to the yes! We will be seeing The Winter Soldier in Cap 2! Now if you remember kids, Bucky (Cap’s sidekick), played by Sebastian Stan, apparently died after falling from a moving train in Cap 1, but his character Bucky goes on to become Winter Soldier in the comics, changing from buddy-buddy to an arch-nemesis. So how can they go about bringing Bucky back as Winter Soldier after Cap has been cryogenically frozen for years? Maybe Bucky endured the same fate perhaps? Being frozen for so long and coming back? Either way, why else would they call him the “Winter Soldier”? Either way, I’m excited for both.

Also, Marvel confirms that their next big film to drop in 2014 will be in fact “Guardians of the Galaxy”. According to IGN.com, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige confirmed that the current lineup of the Guardians will be in the movie: Star Lord, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Groot and Rocket Raccoon (that’s right, Rocket Raccoon). Official concept art was also provided for the confirmation of the film.

Finally, we already knew about Iron Man 3. But new test footage of Ant-Man was shown by writer-director Edgar Wright of what the outfit looked like, and what the scene he was featured in entailed. Sadly we don’t have a video of that footage, but when we do find it, we’ll definitely post it.

Here are the confirmed posters for these upcoming films in the next two years.

Deadpool videogame revealed at SDCC 2012 equals awesome sauce

Oh come on. Just call him!

We’ll let the video speak for itself. It’s about time this fourth wall breaking joker got his own game. He’s become kind of a fan favorite it seems. I’ve used him as a character in both Marvel Ultimate Alliance games as well as done battle against him in Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions. The character is full of funny.

So I wasn’t surprised at the over-the-top humor seen in this teaser trailer. In fact for the first time, it feels welcoming. Take a look.
