Kick-Ass

I watched this movie back in late december 2010 so don't remember the whole story but it's about this comic book nerd turn into a real life super hero. He was a skinny kid but he kept on training him self and gained some experience while he faced near death accidents. He covers himself with pathetic green and yellow spandex suits. He's only active during the night and one knight he saved this one particular man in front of convenience store from the thugs and some kid video taped him on mobile phone and uploaded on YouTube channel and he gained some kind of cult status. Then story goes more complicated involving many real life super hero wannabes. It was one of the best film I've seen in last few years and it's pretty good and there's already a plan for the 2nd series...

Watch it if you are into Marvel or DC comic super heroes. If not still watch it cos it's still funny in some parts of this film.

EarthBound

This is a Nintendo release for SNES and in Japan it's known as Mother 2. Mother is the original title for NES release.

I don't know when this game came out and played and completed it while ago so I don't remember much but I will write full from my memory.

All I know is that this is the official nintendo game and it's RPG (Role Playing Game) like Ultima and Wizardry... Or Dragon Warrior (Dragon Quest) or Final Fantasy etc.

The reason I do not play much RPG is that it take too bloody long to play and that's what I don't like about it. Good thing is that story is deep and it's like reading a book. Also it does make you think to progress further in the game and when you are fighting against the enemies there's lot of strategy and depth in these games.

Anyways this mother is more realistic based RPG rather than typical European history or fantasy/folklore story. Like King Arthur Legends etc.

Why it's realistic because the main character uses baseball cap as a helmet, for weapon baseball bat or cricket bat to damage the enemy and use a lid as a shield to defend your self etc. And then when you need some cash withdraw money from cash-machine etc.

More story progress you meet your pals and join your party and then eventually you fight against alien boss. You can also use psychic power to fight or heal your wounds.

Nintendo don't make much crap games and I would recommend this if you want to play RPG.

Denmark v England

I did sorta kinda watched the game because I was doing something and it was only a friendly against boring Denmark side (No disrespect) but it wasn't really exciting to watch but I did see all the goals. Danish player scored first and then Bent scored the easy tap in and then Ashley Young slotted the winner. So 2-1 away win for us. There's more interesting matches like Germany v Italy, France v Brazil and Argentina v Portugal etc. Clash of giants. Germans drew against Italians 1-1 then French won 1-0 and Argies won 2-1. And that's about it. Saturday back to usual domestic Premier League game and Rooney scored the cracking overhead goal with extreme power. I wish he would do that for his country rather than his club Man Utd!! Next match is against Wales away European Championship qualifier near end of March...

In memory of Gary Moore

I just want to pay my tribute to a great guitarist GARY MOORE... He passed away last sunday in Spain while he was asleep. I love his music and he was a nice bloke. His gig Wild Frontier 1987 tour was my first ever gig and I will never forget it. He was a fantastic guitarist who can express emotion and feelings to guitar and I've never heard anyone sounding like his trademark clean and high tone guitar. Last year we've lost DIO battling with cancer but with Gary he just left us suddenly.

I hope he'll be gigging up there with DIO, Cozy Powell, Randy Rhodes and his best mate the mighty Phil Lynott.

I also want to say good bye to Phil Kennemore who played bass with Y&T... I didn't know he was gone!

I want to say belated Happy New Year!! Chinese one that is... 3rd of February, the year of the Rabbit!!

It's sad but their legacy will stay forever!!
