Euclideon Unlimited Detail: Fact or Fiction

Euclideon claims they have developed technology to render an unlimited amount of content, obviously this has brought out many sceptics because well, these are some very large claims to make. Therefore, I’m here to give my perspective and opinion on all of this because honestly I am one of those sceptics, if someone comes out with such bold claims I expect them to back it up and from what I’ve seen the company is all talk. I’m going to break down just how feasible their claims actual are and if this technology could be viable within the industry.

To start things off here are links to the two videos that they recently posted on their Youtube channel. So if you want to refresh your memory check out the videos….ok your back good, now lets get started.

On first glance, the technology looks promising, the claims made while sounding absurd it does come across as something that might be possible, but like many things on closer inspection cracks appear that quickly become canyons. There are multiple reasons for this and once they are taken into account the tech, which may seem to some like fact is more like a mirage.

Flashpoint #4

Flashpoint
Issue 4 cover

This is the forth issue and it stills feels like we are not where the story should be at this point, I say this because going into issue five later this month there is an awful lot to cover in one issue it may come off as feeling rushed.

Issue four has a lot going for it there is a much greater feeling of urgency and impending danger than previous issues. A team is now being assembled with the Shazam family and Barry Allen knowing they can not sit on the side lines while the world is torn apart by Wonder Woman and Emperor Aquaman and the fact Barry is losing his memories even quicker now so all this sets things sets the pace of the story.

The introduction of Captain Marvel was handled well with a nice twist to the mythos I guess my only complaint would be there isn’t enough of Captain Marvel within this issue but saying that his actions do make up for it.

Overall the majority of this issue feels like you are riding a rollercoaster climbing up to a peak building all this momentum for the finale and just when you are at the peak about to look down the issue ends which makes it seem issue five will be quite the ride.

DC Comics Relaunch: Getting Started

Getting started with comics can be a daunting process for someone going into it without much knowledge of the media itself, which is one reason why I am writing this guide is to help people take the first steps into comics. With the DC comics re launch coming this September it is a great time for people to start collecting comics as everything will be start back at #1, so you don’t have to feel worried about reading a backlog of stories to understand what is currently happening.

The Dark Knight Rises: On set images of Tom Hardy as Bane

Since the announcement that Bane would be one of the featured villains in The Dark Knight Rises, many have speculated on the direction Nolan was going to take with the character. Up to this point beyond a teaser and a short glimpse in the recent teaser trailer much remained unknown, but that is no longer the case Wick Photography have posted up a few shots from the set of The Dark Knight Rises which features Bane, played by Tom Hardy along with other cast members.

Wonder Woman and the Furies #2

In the previous issue the ground work for war between Wonder Woman and Aquaman was brought to the forefront, this issue follows in those same footsteps with the issue taking place in mutliple different time periods up to the sinking of Europe. From the title you would expect the majority of the focus to be on the character Wonder Woman, but it resolves more around the relationship and conflict between Wonder Woman and Aquaman with both characters having their fair share of the spotlight. Honestly I feel this series would have been better if it was a six issue series which combined both Aquaman and the Wonder Woman comics as currently they are pretty much essential to be read together to get the full back story.

Updates going into August

I've been away a little while since I finished work over two weeks ago, I needed some time away to feel refreshed again, I was honestly burnt out from work.

Now with the blog I'll be continuing to update this regularly with content for the ongoing Flashpoint series, reviews for that will be returning this coming week as well as a review for Batman House of Hush. Keeping with comics I'll also be giving my thoughts on the new 52 from DC comics along with what titles I will be picking up this September.

During August I will be posting up content for to help new readers who want to get into comics but are unsure what to pick up seeing as some characters such as Batman have a multitude of different books. For this I will be putting together something related to the movies from the Tim Burton's films to Christopher Nolan's trilogy, these will be broken down into each film with comic recommendation that are similar to those films, or were used as a background for the films production.

As for gaming I will be putting some stuff up I'm not sure what those things will be yet but I have a few ideas that I think people will find interesting. Overall expect to see a lot of content coming for the rest of July and throughout the month of August and I hope you enjoy what I put out.

Hal Jordan #1

I’m a big Green Lantern fan and Geoff Johns run with the series so an alternative version of Hal Jordan has the potential to be very cool.
Those familiar with the Hal Jordan origin will be in a familiar setting for most of this issue as it essentially tells the Flashpoint origin of Hal Jordan by the book, it rarely ventures outside of that zone which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Some changes here and there would have been nice to differentiate. With that said I believe the direction this could take in future issue could be a drastically different Hal Jordan to the one we know, as a first issue it is solid I have no major complaints it was good and the art was particularly nice throughout.
