Evangelion 1.111 + 2.222 = A Loving Touch

I have quite honestly fallen behind my days of past of anime filled watching days. However, I just recently watched both the "remake" of a four part movie series tell of Evangelion and it had magically sparked the inner love of anime once again... and as I am typing this, gathering quite a large collection of anime together.

Eva 1 was a bit more of true to the series vs Eva 2 in which was just plain awesome and showed off some wonderful "edits" and badass fight scenes. Plus, Eva 2 also allowed me to appreciate Shinji in a different light amongst other characters. Eva 1 was good - however, Eva 2 kicks the remake into turbo gear and had me wanting more. The timing of each scene and overall pace of the movies so far is just perfect.

The movie was beautiful to watch and character development was done masterfully... The only negative I have regarding this "re-visioning" (which I prefer vs...) of the original is having to wait for the last two movies to be released for me to consume. All in all, I give this some way serious kudos and thanks for reminding me how much I enjoy a good animated storytelling. ^_-

POGOPLUGpremium - STREAMING AWESOMENESS?!?

Two Thumbs Down...

So, I moved my Apple TV2 into the main bedroom and decided to just stream to my Xbox 360. However, due to some "issues" the software I tried out was lacking and only opted to play only a select few videos from my MacBook Pro. I did not want to reformat or do anything to alter the quality of my videos or even do anything in general. Just "plug and play." The videos I stream are 720p or better. 

I saw POGOPLUGpremium and figured to give it a shot... and this was the f'n outstanding results:

Sweet ass sweet streaming right? Thank you POGOPLUG!

Needless to say I bought another Apple TV2. Yea yea... I know Apple TV2 can only do 720p. However, it just simply works and does what I need it to do. I'm a busy guy and I want my entire digital media collection to work when I want it to with little to no effort. 

Marvel vs Capcom 3 Tournament

Went to a local Marvel vs Capcom 3 tournament @ Rainy Day Anime in Colorado Springs not too long ago. I figured I would head out there for fun since I haven't "competed" in much of anything in a long time. The show up for this tournament was rather impressive for a small store. Met a few good natured people too and had some fun playing. I was playing Akuma, Sentinel and Wolverine. I was knocked out in the second bracket, but I wasn't expecting to win considering I don't play often enough. When I lost though it was by a silly mistake thinking I could cancel Super Skrulls hyper combo with a blast... Meh. :P

I just wanted to get the old school feeling of gaming "shit talk" and competitiveness amongst some die hard gamers...

Murder X2

Rocky Mountain Auto Brokers @ Colorado Springs

So, a buddy of mine at a dealership told me about what had happened with the owner of Rocky Mountain Auto Brokers... hired individuals at the same dealership to murder his wife while he was in jail due to the wife having an affair. Woah right?

Well, the story itself was interesting enough to research more into it when I got home. Come to find out it wasn't the owner, but Christopher Wells a finance manager at the dealership. A total of four suspects are in question of the murder. They were all associated with the dealership, Rock Mountain Auto Brokers and hired by Mr. Wells. A seriously messed up scenario. Supposedly the daughter witnessed the mother and the uncle getting brutally stabbed, shot, burned and etc...

Reading from multiple news resources...the story behind the double murder is a bit confusing and appears equally complicated for the police.

For those who want to find out more... you can just easily Google it. It's seriously fucked up.

My condolences to the involved families...

"No Bueno" Manny Video

So, long story short - I caught Manny (one of my supervisors) "laying/sleeping/whatever" underneath the table in the main office. I was wondering where all the managers/supervisors where while yours truly was hard at work...LOL! I can't wait for the day I can get paid to do shit like this...

I decided to fuck with him and threw a small soccer ball at him...

Slowly But Surely...

I am excited to get my blog off the ground and hopefully capture an audience with my posts. Here is to all those who are awaiting the "launch" of my blog... It is now being slowly updated throughout this week! Once the dust settles and I get everything up... It will be updated daily (hopefully...)!

Yours Truly,
JoJo Zzang!!
