Ryan Reynolds is the Multiverse!
So RR will be playing two major popular comic book characters, from the big two opposite comic book industries!
Yes RR is Green Lantern and Deadpool. Now I have nothing against the man, but he isn't the right choice (IMO) for GL. He was a good choice for Deadpool in Wolverine Origins, but the character was so far away from Deadpool you couldn't even close your eyes, scream "la la la la la" and pretend otherwise. Basically what went wrong there was th writers were shit at writing...plain and simple. And also seem to not actually do any research on the Deadpool character. The only hope with the upcoming Deadpool stand-alone film is that they somehow DON'T use the same people and you know...maybe read a bit about Deadpool.
Now on to the Green Lantern film. Why is it a good idea to have the same guy? Why would DC or whoever is making the film want this?
Why not have Hugh Jackman shave his entire bodyhair and play Catwoman in the next Batman film? WHY NOT EH!
It doesn't seem like a good investment to mutual sides or benefactors and well for the viewing public it's pretty lazy, crocky and might actually bore us to see some guy play two different heroes/anti-heroes from different universes.
Well there's no point crying about it I suppose, it's going to happen and it's not like they picked Tom Cruise to play the same character. The next thing they'll do to try and peeve us off is have the Avengers film have Wolverine in it.
DON'T YOU DARE!!
Galactus : The Man Behind the Helmet
So this is apparently what Galactus looks like without his Purple Head gear off.
He's either
a) earning small change by doing L'oreal adverts
b) is a Sh-iar
c) unable to get acne (cos come on you gotta be sweating wearing that thing all the time)

THEORY OF THE DEADMAN
Looks like I can actually tick at least one band of my list of "Bands I want to see".
Yes I got (cheap) tickets to see Theory of a Deadman at the end of September. Woop woop!!
They better be good!
That bloody Gnome
So last time I was playing Half Life Ep 2 on my old 360 (which suffered the dreaded Red Ring of Annoyance) I was attempting to get the rocketman (gnome in the spaceship) achievement. Now what went wrong that time was when I went to get the banged up car from across the broken down death-trap bridge. I had left Gnomey (such an original nickname) in the safe and capable hands of Alyx and the Vort. Or so I thought....
You see when you get the car and come back around to their side and then open the door to let them out you can't get the gnome as well (not if you thought just leaving it there was safe enough). No because the door you open for the guys is timed. It closes in a matter of seconds, far quicker than you will ever take getting through the door to pick up the most valuable virtual garden ornament in game-dom. I later found out the smart thing to do would be the leave the gnome on a box. Then when the door opesn, use th gravity gun to pull the box (with Gnomey ato) towards you. Alas it was too late for hindsight to kick in.
This time while replaying the Orange Box I thought "To hell with this...I'm going to take the gnome bastard with me to get the car."
And I did and it worked out fine...but then comes the next hurdle Valve decided to throw at us just to see if we could created veins and then pop veins all in the space of a few hours. There is no sure way of keeping the gnome in the car (at least none I've found) and I've tried shoving him EVERYWHERE, even under Alyx's ass. But apparently her rear-end is transparent. So or the entire duration of getting from the start point to the train station where you fight the Helicopter with it's own bombs, you have to become a saint of patience and calmness. Unless you're going in a straight line...you're fecked basically.
So after getting in and out and in and out of the car for ages trying not to die from being riddled with bullets and what-not, getting the gnome in the car for the 100th time and hearing Alyx saying for the 200th time, "Let's go Gordon" I finally got to the point where you can take a break from the gnome sitting.
Yes it was time to play crouch master and disable the big white beam laser canon combine firing things. So I leave Gnomey in the garage and wouldn't you know it I leave him on the ONE PLACE THAT HE WILL VANISH DUE TO HOW THE GAME WORKS.
I left him on the bench and when I came back, the car was where the bench was and Gnomey was gone :( I ransacked that place and no sign, none. After all that. I tried shooting all the resistance people, trying desperately to take my anger out on them and claim vengance but alas the bastards are immune to my own blasts...even grenades up the ass.
So begrudingly I realised I'd no save prior to placing Gnomey down and I got into the car and mowed down as many zombies as I could, then turned around and tried to resistance but once again I forgot about the Freeman Omnipotence.
So now I'm at the end of Ep2, taking on all those Striders (which I remember well being a pain in the balls) because those sticky bombs ain't so sticky and the location of the resupplies is really badly spaced out. Sigh.....I wonder do the Combine have any positions going.

RevanDesigns Reviews and a heck of a lot more.
GO HERE AND BE WOWED....though probably not to the extent I'd wish. e.g a gasp, a fart, a hiccup of joy!
