Well, got around to trying out Little King's Story for the Nintendo Wii. The game play is Pikmin ish which isn't all too bad. No use of the motion controls or (so far) the IR sensor in game which Pikmin used for the refresh to point to targets on the screen. After about 2 hours of playing, I found that the game showed promise and the diversity of units (your civilians which you can train) seem like a wide enough selection to add variety. Since I only started, I didn't want any of my 'minions' to die and on a boss battle, decided to replay until I beat it without losing a soul. Sadly, after the boss battle, the day is over and extra exploring and collecting is not available for the rest of the day and it forces you to sleep. Minor gripe I suppose but this makes it seem wasteful for a day when someone may try to complete the game in as few days as possible.
Take a look at this game since it seems to be a gem in a rather wide (and somewhat dull in majority) selection of Wii games.

Terminator and Blood
Well watched Terminator Salvation and the live action adaptation of Blood the Last Vampire recently and here are some thoughts.
Terminator was decent overall but some parts felt predictable and the story wasn't very compelling for me. Everything worked out well and no major complaints on the movie. I'd say it's worth the watch if you enjoy robots and explosions.
I didn't even know that there was going to be a live adaptation of Blood but I didn't mind taking a look at it. Although it is a somewhat older anime movie (2000) and provides a decent story to a movie full of monster slaying. Most scenes provided recollections of the original anime movie and in its entirety, seemed to fit well. I can't recall the exact details of the original but the live action movie did not follow the plot to a T which I guess is fine. I also enjoyed watching Blood+ which takes place in an alternate universe. This probably threw me off from some details in the original movie and live action so I could just be confused. I may rewatch the original and see if my memory holds up to compare the two. Just wanted to say that some of the monsters' effects stick out like a sore thumb rather than blend into the picture which I've been accustomed to but may be an eyesore for some. It's a decent movie but I'd recommend watching the original anime movie first to truly capture the essence of the movie.

No planned music covers...
Well I decided to scrap the idea of making acoustic covers since there are tons out there already and I don't feel I stand up to most of what is out there. I'm still learning and will enjoy playing and progressing.
This will probably turn into a place where I post capture of video games starting around September. Along the way, I'll add pics, reviews, comments on stuff I get but hopefully something will turn up soon as some videos may be up eventually.
I'm still looking around to fixing up / improving my notebook so far so that has been where the majority of my time has been spent. I will probably build a desktop in a year or two so I'm making this last until then, and used as a spare afterward.
Hopefully summer has been great for everyone and I will post a quick bit on movies shortly.
