Upcoming Projects and The Legend Of Korra Impressions

Perfection doesn't come close to this level of amazing

Now that I have written up about Naruto and reviewed the game I am now ready to announce what I have coming up for the blog (or hopefully what I will be able to talk about).I have decided to sort of go HD Collection crazy with some of my new money I picked up The Jak and Daxter Collection as well as Silent Hill HD Collection. Before I start playing to much of those I will finally finish the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. As of now I have gone through MGS2 and am working through MGS3 now. I am not very far yet but this isn't about me rushing through these it is about me remembering classic games o my past. I love these HD Collections and can't wait for even more of my favorite series to be re-released. Right now I am looking forward to Devil May Cry (04/03/12) and Ratchet and Clank (EU:Spring & US:Fall) HD Collections.

Time to get to TV side of things today
When I am not playing game, I love watching Movies and TV. One of my favorite shows was Avatar the last airbender on Nick. Now after that abortion of a movie The Last Airbender the series is getting a redemtion with the new series The Legend of Korra. The Show takes place 70 years after Avatar ended and the world was at peace. Now there is a new avatar and her name is Korra she is a very feisty girl from the water tribe who is much different in many ways from Aang which is a good thing, but holds some qualities like him which keeps things nice. The show is really shaping up nicely, with the new location, charecter (new and old ones returning), amazing voice acting, and of course the gorgeous animation.

Now the show does not premier till April 14th, but thanks to all the fans at Korra Nation we all unlocked the first 2 episodes and can watch them online right now. Just click here to check everything out. The story to sum it up for anyone who has not been following the news is unlike the original show. Korra already had been going through trainning to be the avatar and has mastered Water, Earth, and Fire. So all she has left to learn is Air, this is a nice twist since we never really got to see what it takes to become an air bender. It also shows off the new local for the game which is now a much more advanced city and almost steam punk in many ways. Finally there is a new sport called Pro Bending and it is one of those things that are hard to describe and something you will have to see for yourself.

I would love to hear what you all think about the first 2 episodes and the new direction for this series. Please leave a comment below.

  1. Excellent post. I managed to catch the premiere last night, and I loved it. I wished there was more of a climax or confrontation with what may be the primary antagonist, as we saw in the series premiere for TLA back in 2006. However, I still enjoyed the premiere thoroughly. The fight scenes were amazing, and often better than some of the key fights in sozen's comet. The characters had a much stronger chance to develop than in TLA. So pumped for this!!!
