Yet another great character makes a comeback, this time to the smaller screen. That character my friends, is none other than Agent Coulson aka Clark Gregg of SHIELD fame. Last we saw of him he seemed to have been killed off by Thor’s number one nemesis, aka brother, in the form of Loki in the first Avengers movie. Definitely looking forward to this when air date nears. Apparently Agent Hill didn’t get the memo:
It’s okay, Agent Hill. Just read what I wrote, or check the source below.
UPDATE:
BTW Agent Hill, here’s a nice 30 second tv spot of the new show so don’t be mad, bro:
I just heard this on the radio today so hopefully this news has more weight to it. Just in case it’s true I’ll be preemptive about this. After some quick research I found out that apparently FOX is making moves to bring back one of its most popular series to date. 24 ran for about 8 seasons beginning in 2001, and ending its run in 2010. Jack Bauer, the series protagonist, has been stopping bad guys the whole time. There were even talks to bring Bauer to the big screen, which would be great for fans, myself included. As of now that situation is in proverbial limbo. Lets all pray it works out.
Show wise, 24 could start its 9th season once the execs work out some sort of solid deals. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing Kiefer save the day again. As of now you can relive the joy of the first 8 seasons right now on Netflix. Crossing my fingers for season 9!
Resident Evil: Revelation fans will be treated to a demo of the console version of the Nintendo 3DS released survival horror game. A bite sized demo will be released on PSN, XBL, and Wii U eShop May 14th. Here’s a trailer for the Wii U version:
Revelations for Wii U showcases the ability to use the GamePad in a few ways. One focuses on using the added screen to show the map as you walk thru corridors and dark hallways. The other option actually let’s you use the GamePad to play the game directly on it.
Having the 3DS version myself, it looks to play very similar to its source material. The 3DS version also lets players use the bottom screen to toggle the map and switch weapons on the fly. And might I say that Revelations is a fine Resident Evil experience OTG. Immersion is high as getting sucked into this game is pretty easy. Were it not for the terrible battery life of my 3DS I could play this all day.
Those looking to experience this game with sharper graphics and a bigger screen won’t have to wait for the console demo much longer. Just a few days, people.
Well it’s not really satisfying but pretty obvious. David Hayter aka Solid Snake aka Old Snake aka Naked Snake ak-motherfucking-a Big Boss, himself spoke on behalf of IGN about the reasons why the recently announced MGS Legacy Collection will not be released on the Xbox 360. Signs point to the obvious caveat that the media capacity of the 360’s current system only being able to run DVD format versus the PS3’s bluray capabilities.
I used to be one of those who wanted to keep the MGS series exclusive to Sony devices but grew up and realized that I shouldn’t be selfish and it’d ultimately be better if MGS were everywhere. And I own a 360 as well as my PS3 and am considering getting the MGS HD Collection on the 360 too. That’s how much I love this series. And you know what they say. If you love it set it free and if it comes back you play the shit out of it over and over again. Or something to that effect. Anyways you can get the full gist below.
In the clip Hayter reads off some interesting facts about Kojima’s decision to exclude any traces of a 360 version. Most notably that a Legacy Collection without MGS4 simply wouldn’t be a Legacy Collection. Good point Kojima-San.
Side note 1: I told Jezzanorris, who put me onto this interesting tidbit of info, that it’s very curious that Hayter himself, was reiterating Hideo Kojima’s explanation of the lack of a 360 Legacy Collection release, given the fact that Kojima has confirmed to the world, and all MGS fans that David Hayter will NOT be reprising his VO role as Big Boss in the recently announced Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. It could just be because the Legacy Collection contains all previously released canon MGS titles, save for Portable Ops, which feature David Hayter’s iconic voice work for every iteration of Snake. Curious INDEED, aye Kojima??
Side note 2: For those who keep blabbering that Portable Ops isn’t canon to the MGS lore, I say drink some shut-the-fuck-up juice and research your shit. PO’s lack of advertising bravado as compared with PW media circus shouldn’t dictate whether or not PO is canon when it’s been brought up in MGS4 and PW itself for fucks sake.

Hideo Kojima and his seminal series, Metal Gear Solid have been around for 25 years. Since 1987 Kojima has been redefining the franchise with every iteration and fans clamor for MOAR. But as much as the fans can’t get enough of the series, Kojima can’t seem to have enough to eat. So much so that he posts about his eating habits as much as he updates us on the current status of upcoming games. Here are just some of his more recent consumption endeavors:
Well it looks like the rumors of an MGS Legacy Collection that a Korean site announced proved true. Apparently this collection will be released on PS3 and will include: Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3 (also includes the first two games, Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake), Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions and Metal Gear Solid 4. Also included are two Metal Gear Solid Digital Graphic Novel by Ashley Wood. So you can play the MGS Saga in order of release, chronology, or backwards. Though I’d suggest going in the order of release as every iteration updates their graphics as well as control scheme so by the time you get to MGS4 and PW the controls will be more westernized. The release date is roughly sometime this June so till then we can all just drool over this awesome poster below.
[MGS, or rather, Metal Gear Solid, is a video game series created by Hideo Kojima that was conceived in 1987, when it was only called Metal Gear. The series has been around for 25 years now and as a big fan I’ve only known about them and played the games for less than a decade. That said, I’ve seen the evolution of the series and have grown to love it even more. One way I choose to express this is to write about some of these changes in the form of ‘MGS: The Evolution Of.” Whether you’re a fan or not I hope you enjoy.]
The cardboard box to many people is just an ordinary brown object folded in specific places to which, when each corner comes together, forms a 3-dimensional object in the form of a cube or rectangle. A cardboard box usually sits open side up and can be filled with objects, typically for transportation as a parcel or to just store needful things. In the Metal Gear world, it’s used upside down and is an ideal place to hide or take cover so as to avoid detection from ones enemies while trying to infiltrate certain areas, be they buildings, ships, or even thick jungle locales.
Looks like Revoltech is taking their Naked Snake 131 figure a step higher in the articulation ladder. Not only will this Snake be able to take on multiple poses, but he will also be able to articulate his eye, as the photo below points out. It’s reminiscent of the Hot Toys Version of the current iteration of Batman embodied by Christian Bale, whose head sculpt has fully articulated eyes as well. I can’t read Japanese so I don’t have any idea how much the eye can move, but looks cool nonetheless.
Hopefully I can snag one for myself so I can do a review on it.
Today is April 9th and the Jetstream Sam DLC for MGRR releases on PSN/XBL today. In this DLC you will be able to play as Sam from the game, only this time we get to find out his back story and the reasons he does what he does in MGRR as this serves as a prequel. You will embody Sam’s abilities and get to throw down with enemies from the game. Check out the trailer below.
The DLC will cost $6.99 so if you’re ready, willing, and able, then let the slicing begin!
I hadn’t known about Revoltech until I came across this a few weeks ago while perusing the net. Turns out Kojima is working with them to make a new toy. This one in particular is called Naked Snake 131. Judging from the Sneaking Suit on the figure it’s really Big Boss from the PSP game Metal Gear Solid:Peace Walker (aka Naked Snake from MGS3). Here are a few photos to show more details.
