The Last Days Of FOXHOUND (reissue 013 – Ocelots & Octopi)

[The Last Days of FOXHOUND is a fan made comic that I stumbled upon a few years ago while perusing the Internetz as an MGS fan. This strip, created by a fellow MGS fan named Chris Douchette, ran this comic from 2003-2008. I was lucky enough to run into all 500 completed pages and wanted to share them with all of you readers. I’ll try to reiterate each and every consecutive page as time goes on. Most of the humor stems from the going on throughout the MGS series, so those who aren’t too familiar may find themselves slightly lost. My solution: play the MGS games. You guys wouldn’t be here anyways if you haven’t at least played MGS1. Anywho, enjoy!]

013 – Ocelots & Octopi

Earworm: Freebird – Lynard Skynard

A friend of mine from FB, let’s call her Vementha, posted a few lyrics from this legendary song, and well, it’s now an earworm. The awesome instrumental riff in the back end of this song takes me back to Guitar Hero 2, and it’s awesome getting all the notes perfect. I wish I could take the time to learn it on an actual guitar though.
Anyway, enjoy this live version from 2003.

Batman Arkham Knight Trailer

Arkham Knight

This looks really juicy. I have only briefly played the first Arkham game for PS3 when it first came out, and I thought it was very well done. I never got around to buying the last 2 releases for PS3, but recently, a good buddy of mine gave the first 2 to me as a gift via Steam. Anyway, as I mentioned, the trailer looks juicy. It shows off 3 villains, Harley Quinn, Two Face, and the Penguin, oh and the Batmobile is PRESENT! This raises a question though as to how the Batmobile will be implemented in the game. Bats got around the previous games before just fine with out it.

The trailer looks gorgeous. I doubt it is done in real time, but with the hardware muscle of the next or current gen systems (PS4, and XB1), and the PC, it looks to be visually stunning. The game drops later this year, and will be only available on PS4, XB1, and PC. This will be Rocksteady’s final Arkham game, and it will also conclude that story line.

Some screen grabs for you:

Two Face

Penguin looking un-penguin like

Harley, I prefer this one over the past iteration from the previous game

Jumping into action

I am now Ben Affleck…wait..what?

The new Batmobile, looks pretty sick

Calvin & Hobbes (1985-1986 Reissue 003)

[Calvin & Hobbes is one of the best comic strips to have come into existence in the latter part of the 20th century. This strip, created by the awesome Bill Watterson, ran for a decade, from November 18, 1985 to December 31, 1995. As a kid I discovered the first ever collection of strips in book form self titled Calvin & Hobbes in a local bookstore. As I glanced through the first few pages I became instantly hooked. It centers on a 6 year old boy Calvin, and his stuffed toy aka best friend come to imaginary life Hobbes, and their adventures about life. It’s a truly remarkable series that I’d like to share with you boys and girls. As that sharing goes, I’ll do my best to pepper in a strip as time goes on. Enjoy!]
