Or should I just replay “dot Hack”?
Those were my first thoughts going in, but never judge a book by its cover. Let’s give this a shot.

Hello everyone it’s been forever it seems, a little hectic, and a little too hot to be cooking food all the time, actually. But with the amount of heat-waves and unpleasant muggy weather that has plagued us this summer, I think it’s about time that we talk about a cold treat that can help alleviate this summer heat-stress!
Judge has already talked about the Korean shaved ice treat, patbingsu (팥빙수) in a previous post, and so with that in mind let’s talk about another famous shaved-ice treat found throughout all of Asia: shaved ice with syrup, otherwise known as kakigori (かき氷).
Aw yiss, shaved ice

Previously on Final Fantasy 5 Four Job Fiesta 2012 Fridays, I defeated Ramuh and obtained his summon (that I cannot use). Since I didn’t get a new job that time, I have nothing to really preface. So I guess I’ll jump right in. Be warned though, the road to the next job is a rather long one.
As is the road to mastering the red mage.

Once upon a time, when I was still a wee-child in high school, I got a call over winter vacation from a friend asking if I was interested in seeing something called The Dark Knight which I personally had heard very little about. But my friend, and others in the group, were very vocal about their need to see the film, all of them for a second time. Except me – I hadn’t even thought to see it.
Now, the phenomenon has reached its peak with the finale of the Nolan Batman films with The Dark Knight Rises. People are fighting to get tickets opening weekend, it’s on the tip of everyone’s tongues, and no one whose anyone is going to not see this movie “just cause”
But here’s the problem – will the movie experience because of all the fan enthusiasm?

Gotham City Imposters is a weird game. It’s a Team Fortress 2 like game parading around with the Batman license…except there’s no sign of Batman in this game. This game is anything but dark and gritty; in fact, it’s quite the opposite with cheap humor as the driving force. Do these things make it bad per se? Not necessarily.

Silverwolf: Hello everyone! Silverwolf here with recently promoted editor Laevatein to talk about the TV series Young Justice. Both of us agree that it’s a great show, but we’ve got some differing opinions on the cast. So, today, we’re going to debate “Who is the best character in Young Justice?” I’m going with Superboy.
Laevatein: I’m a Nightwing guy myself.
Silverwolf: All right Laevatein, why do you think Nightwing is the best member of the team?
Laevatein: Gee, it’s kind of hard. Well, it seems as if he’s probably the most competent member, not to rip on the other guys though. He seems like a really good leader, but it’s interesting how he struggled with Batman’s influence on him. Not only that, but he really developed quite a bit between seasons.
Silverwolf: That is true. My counterpoint is that Superboy has a great deal of depth. He’s technically the youngest member of the team and, given that he’s a clone and neither a human nor kryptonian, is the one with the most difficulty fitting in on Earth. Couple that with the fact that he’s still trying to get closer to Superman and had issues with Miss Martian modifying his mind in order to perfect their past relationship, and you’ve got a truly multi-faceted individual. Oh, and his powers are awesome too.

“Silverwolf, that doesn’t look like a comic!” you say upon viewing the image for this week’s Silverwolf’s Den. Well, dear readers, you’re absolutely right! But fear not, this book is actually about comics and superheroes! Tom King, who formerly worked for DC, Marvel, and the CIA, penned A Once Crowded Sky, the story of a world much like our own where heroes once dominated the landscape. Thanks to the great folks at Trident Media Group, the team who brought us Nevsky, I had the pleasure of reading an advance copy. How does this new novel stack up?

“Kamehameha” is a series of post where we examine various action scenes from movies, anime, and cartoons, to name a few. It’s name comes from one of the most famous special moves in Dragon Ball Z. We chose a DBZ reference because it’s the definition of an action show…minus the drawn out stare down filler.
Quick “Kamehameha.” Part of my “Batman Extravaganza.” Just two moar days until The Dark Knight Rises! Anyways, today we’ll look at Terry McGinnis aka Batman Beyond take on the Joker. Long story short, in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, the Joker returns using nanotech on Tim Drake’s body. Then, they fight.

Moving on in my quest for Metroid is Metroid Fusion. Another GBA title, but this title predated Zero Mission, which I reviewed last week. Anyway, Metroid Fusion is a very… interesting game. Chronologically, it actually takes place after all the other games. While I’ve never focused too much on the Metroid series plot in my reviews, I’ll touch on it a bit more for Fusion. If you want my quick thoughts on Fusion though… It’s definitely the worst Metroid game I’ve ever played.
