Is another comic book crash coming?

9/27/2018

0 Comments

 
This topic has not been on my mind too much, but it still something that may still happen if some of the major problems don't get solved very quickly. Now I'm not going to say that this is going to be one big major hit to all the companies in the industry in the same way at once. It may not hit the some of the that are having a hard time to get there sells numbers up the most.

Now I do know that there was a big crash in the 1990's & the comic book is now ding OK at best, but I do see the numbers from the amount that is shipped each month's end. Some of them look good & others don't seem to like as good.

At times I do hear that Marvel does force the disturber to over ship their comic for no real gain in my mind. but who will ever call them out on that? As now I don't see anyone doing that for now. I do see a bit of a problem with stunts like that & it needs to stop.

I know that this has been said a lot of times & it seems that nobody seems to care about this saying, but "If it not selling copies out the door & making you customers happy to read your comics with very issue that you put out. Then quit going that way."

There is just too many times that I will see a comic that is selling out like crazy & other are just sitting on a rack for weeks after their release date. To this shows that their are some many missteps that is just killing a great industry. I try to think that a small miscalculation can't hurt a great company for a long period & they will be back on their feet.

Well not in this case. If you keep repeating the same mistakes over & over again. Then your going to start to feel the heat of the fans & hit in the pocket in the long run. Plus a lot people will be out of a job for going along with all the ideas that cost them.

I don't think that any company will get hit the hardest. Unless they are forced to close their doors for good & the staff can't find any other work that will take them in for some work. The thing that I just don't like to see for anyone is force to do. Is to have a false hope in anything that can kill their career & be looked as a failure for a long time.

Not to be a jerk about this next part. I don't think that there is a lot of over sight on most of these stories that we are getting in most of the comics nowadays. It's just the same junk that we don't care about in these stories that are being pushed on us.

To me. If we have another comic book crash. The only people that I will fell the most sorry for if it dose happen are the the comic book shop owners. The reason why is this. They are the ones that will be out of luck the most. I will have little remorse for the writers, inkers, artist & other people that work hard to tell a good story in comic, but not those that driven a good industry in their graves. Those fools can look at their mishaps & fade away into wind for all I care.

Us fans need to be a force to heard now, We can save what we love by speaking up & tell the people at the top of these companies. That we don't like any of the stuff that your putting out & you need to quit marking your comics to the smallest piece of the pie.

We all know that it may not happen, but it will pay off if we all just try it out & see what will happen. I just see a healthy industry that offers a great deal of opportunity to any one that get the skills to make me say "Wow this is a great comic book that I got here." & will make me want to show it to all of my friends.

You all may think that I don't care about the comic book industry at all, but I really. I think that we can see eye to eye on a few things here & can agree that change is needs to come quickly. Before a major crash dose kill this industry for good.

Some thoughts on the closing of Tell Tale Games.

9/24/2018

0 Comments

 
This was on my mind for most of the weekend & I was a bit shocked that a great game developer is closing it's doors just out of the blue & no warning at all. Now I will say that most reports are the same & all, but I think that there is something that is not being talked about that is still on my mind.

Was there a very toxic environment. That the management at Tell Tail Games know about & just let it go on without a single care that their own workers had to work in for years on in. I do feel that a bit of sadness for all those that lost there jobs. I personally don't all the facts & don't like to hurt those that are now out of work.

Now I did play some of their games that the made & where some of the best made games that had a top tier on the writing that we will ever play. Yes some of the graphics looked a bit bad to me. Maybe it was just me not liking on what they was going to do with the style of the game. I try my best to like the art style that they was going with, but I'll love the story that was given to us to play with in the end.

I do think that we need to give all the employees that was let go. Some hope for the skill that each of them has to bring to the industry & still willing to show that they can make some of the best games that have yet to come, The fire is still hot for some of the people that where let go & I can't see any other major game company to just see talent to go to waste in this country.

This is the time to remember that doesn't matter on how big or small the companies are. You can rise or fall in anything that you do. I will not aloud any game developer to go thru the horrible work environment that they had to deal with. I just wish that something was done a bit quicker & none of this would of happen.

Thoughts on the Resident Evil 2 TGS trailer.

9/21/2018

Man I think that I just had a good look at the newest Resident Evil 2 trailer from the Tokyo Game Show & I was just thinking that "If don't hear something about Resident Evil 2 soon. Then I'm not going to preorder the game & will just let it go."Boy we shore did get a big surprised from CapCom.

Now was going to get a bit concern that there was not going to be any new information after a small leak of picture of what Ada Wong will look like. At first I thought that it was a bit of a hoax & then got wind of some videos that was talking about the picture getting a copyright strikes.

At the point I was hoping to hear something about if CapCom was going to show us a trailer or some kind of info at TGS. Then we got to see some of the locations in the game as part of the TGS booth for CapCom. To me this was a sign that most of the iconic places of the original RE 2 are coming back & there is a good sign that more of it is this to come.

I wasn't going to be a completely bummed out if there a little bit of news, but it would be a bit sad to see that there nothing new to report on. As far that I know the game looks really good. Even with the way that the game has change from the original is just amazing to see how much time was put in on the project.

There seems to a lot of changes that make the game a bit better then I have originally thought of the game that are still making me think that there is a classic feel to the games? To me I really don't think that a trailer or a screenshot can really give it to me, but when you see a small little reference to something. That you thought will not be in the game & it is in the game.

For now I'm going to say this. I can't wait to get my hands on this game. It looks so good to play right now. I hope that we can get a demo very soon & see if it lives up to the hype that it has right now. To me this remake looks like a original game to me, but we all know that it's not.

The Verge's $2000 custom PC fail.

9/19/2018

0 Comments

 
I'm not going to call out every little mistake that some person on the internet do. Because it's not my job to do that in the first place. Now I did see the video that a man was putting a high dollar custom PC together & was doing it wrong.

To be open about this topic. I have never put a computer together & do have plans to try it out for fun. I just need to find the money & time to do it. So I may try to see if something that I may like to do it as a hobby in the future.

Now for the video that The Verge put out. I became aware of the video on Sunday & thought that it a random person that found it just to rant about how dumb the person in the video is. I never that a few other people found it & rip it apart to sherds. In hopes to get it taken off YouTube & it was taken down do to major errors that was made in the video.

With that all out. I think the video was just a mess to put out in the first place. You have a big named tech website. That puts out a video that any kind major errors that can you in to a big amount of trouble for anything that you have in a video that. I was a bit confused on a few things that man was doing & was questioning a few thing on what was trying to do.

I didn't catch all any the issues till they where commented on in the video & I was shocked that a anyone will just post a video with so many errors in them & them take it down after the fact of these problems are there.

We found out that some how the computer was working right, but we don't know that it was the issues that people were pointing out where all fixed. I was a concern that people will take the way that the computer will work the same way that as long all the right parts in the case & there is power to it. No matter what the computer will run smoothly.

My final thoughts is this. Don't make big mistakes & past them as facts. This kinda stuff will get you into a lot of major problems in the long run. I don't like to hear that people took a person's advice & it was not accurate at all.

Is comics gate black listed the wrong people?

9/17/2018

It seems that the movement know as "Comic Gate." Seems to me that there is a major rifted within the comic book industry that was been slowly dying the last few years. I'm sick of hearing that any good comic that sounds like that I may try to check out, but somebody will not like the fact that it may hurt their feelings.

Now this past weekend. I found out that a YouTube channel that I follow & think that you may like to check out. One of the main faces on the channel. She did a comic that looks very nice to check out for anyone that is into the theme. I will give you a link to buy it. If you like.

After that I seen both videos that she did on Comics Gate. I was a bit sadden to hear that a great looking book is not going to be sold. Do the fact that her politics & that she anger feminist, because she not fall in line with their ides.

If this is how artist treated other artist in the comic industry. Then I don't think that any living human being. Needs to be treated like that anywhere. I'm just tired to hear that a nice person is black listed for putting out good work that is better then the shit that is out right now.

There is just too many fools that think that they can do no wrong & everything is fine in the company that is failing, In the indie world. That seems to be doing very well right now, I do see a lot of indie projects in the conventions that I go to. If the indie seem is doing a whole lot better then the big name companies & that is not a good sign if you ask me.

After seeing some many reboots to a lot of these comic books in the past few years. I been thinking that there is little to no faith in any of the current status of the industry. There was a point that I was happy that comics have amazing stories in them, but not as much as of now.

I do like to see any great story & artwork in a good comic. You can't tell anyone on how to make a good story for any reason. I just know that we all can enjoy the writer's take on things in the way that the story is told.

The things that I hate is the most is when you feel a part of the plot of a story is forced in the story & don't feels right about it. I just think that most stories are just pushing junk that is not fit the characters that are in the story.

So I wish that everyone that is in the comic book industry the best of luck in their project & future endeavors.

Should we believe in any rumor that we hear about on internet?

9/14/2018

0 Comments

 
You know the one thing that I hate in this world that we all live in. Is that when one person that think it will be nice to start a little rumor that really get people in a divide the whole fan base for no real reason at all.

Now I have been very open-minded to any way that a movie, comic book, video game or a T.V. show. With that said I can fooled in to thinking that a rumor is going to be in the project or not. True I do have a bit of a problem of taking a rumor a bit to serious at times, but I think it's good way to see if a small piece of the rumor is true or not.

So I know that I'm not the only person that seem to that most of the rumors are just fake. Just before E3 this past year had a few pictures that claim to be the list of the Sony press conferences & turned out to be fake. Most of the things on the list where there, but not in the order that there list.

One thing that I like to do is. Not to listen anything that may be true. With the way that most of the new sites thinks that everything that we see on the internet is real & there no denying it at all. I think that we should do some kind of research before they report on the story.

With the way that most sites that are now more "We have to be the first to have it up on are site," To me that kind on mind set that they have nowadays. To me that is not how I like to do this site at all. I do this site for only to give my opinions on things. Not to be the first on the story that is going to be hot or not.

To me. I try not to jump on the rumor mill that everyone is hanging out at. The thing is that I don't like is that. We can't take a rumor at face value. If we keeps doing this the fan base will be so divided as ever.

I do think that we need to take all rumors that with a gain of slat & see if anything that was said is true or not, but I just don't take everything so serious. I get it that I myself do take some of the things a bit serious & expect it in the project.

So I that we all can take these rumors a bit less fact & more as a opinion on the movie, comic book, video game or a T.V. show. I just think that we can be a much better community for everyone in this world that we live in.

Do SJWs have the right to attack their critics?

9/12/2018

0 Comments

 
I been thinking about this for some time now & it seems to me that some of the SJWs that I know about. Do seem to think that it's OK to attack any person that disagrees with their views on any topic that they talk about.

Now as a normal person that seems to think that this is not a nice way to get a point across to a large amount of people at once. I just think that most of the views of some of these SJWs are wrong to just start fighting the facts on the real world that we all live in,

With that say. I just hope that people will stop & think about what their saying. If they think that their words do have some kind of power behind them & people do have some kind of control over them. Then at that point we start to take them a concern trows basic Human Rights for all.

I'm going to keep saying this. but I think that it's nice to keep saying it. As much that I try to keep all of may opinions as neutral as possible & not side with a topic that is killing all the beautiful thing in popculture.

On topics like this is one very hard to say do at times with so many fools that think that we need to think that everything raciest, sexiest or homophobic nowadays. I know that there maybe a few very nice people that well see a debate on a forum  & that may think about "Why are these idiots fighting over?"

As now I do think that if a person followers attack their critics for a small disagreement on a topic that they seem to think is the best way to get raid of the problem. I think that it's wrong to believe that there is only one way to fix all the problems in the world.

There is maybe a way to end some of the problems in the world, but not all of them. Let's just not talk about it in the first place & see where that goes. It may not solve all the problems that we have, but it's a start for us all to do.

I personal don't think this the best way to do things at times & not all problems will stop for not talking about it. To me I  think that best way is to fine common ground on a problem that is out in the world that can be fix.

Now if I'm ever wrong for not having the right stance on a hot topic that I see different then other people. Then maybe I can see where these people are coming from if they get me a chance to listen to them, but that will not happen if then will not listen.

To me. If these fools or their followers just attack their critics for no real gain in their cause in the long run. I do feel that SJW s are just crying over spill milk & think that their special in the world. I do think that some of them are not a evil person, but if you think that it's right to attack anyone that has a completely different opinion "Than you are the enemy."

I will end with this. If you are going to hit me with facts that are the best that you can get your hands on. They better be good ones. not this half assed crap that we can't find on the internet. Then we find out that the whole thing is faked ti begin with. I don't like to call people a lair for any reason at all.

X Files 25 year later.

9/10/2018

Picture
One of the best shows that I ever seen was X Files & truly was a great show to watch in the 90's. To me it wasn't your standard show it the time. It was a science fiction / thriller show that touched on a lot conspiracy in it to make it a greater deal in the stories.

As a young kid at the time this show did give me a few nightmares after watching a episode. If this show has meat to do that to kids that watched it. It did it's job for shore. Now a adult the show was a great way to to the dark side of the world we live in.

Now dose it still hold up today's way of T.V. shows? Well maybe in the way it told a great story in each episode that aired & never hold back, It got to point that one episode was pulled from syndication for a few & was recently started aired again.

There was a soft restart of the series & the two movies the it has, but I never fully got into them as deep as the original series. For me the show was a great way to see how deep those that willing to keep things quite.

Another thing that I like to talk about is that on how well the cast was working off each other. I just love to see different kinds of people with different views on the world. At the time I thought most of the people that where in it. Was just a refection of the real world & I was right. there are some many people that believe that the world do have so dark conspiracy going on that we don't know about.

What that said, I just can't wait to see what will the next installment of The X files. This show did what other shows will never do. Yes it did pushed some themes a bit too far & had a up roar of people that hated a story plot or a character that never was liked in the first place,

So I still love the show for what it did at the time & forever. I may try to rewatch this show to see if I can fully remember all the great episodes that I can remember.

I just like to say that even though that I have not seen all of his work. Is was sadden that to hear of his pasting. I was a bit of a fan of his work & was very happy that Burt Reynolds was a great actor that stared in many kinds of films over his great time on the silver screen.

To me it was a bit of a shocker that he turn down the chance to Han Solo & a few other characters he may of played. I would of all to see him played those characters in the movies.

My heart goes out to his family.

Is comicsgate worth fighting for?

9/4/2018

0 Comments

 
For most of the year. I been trying to see where most of the comic industry is going & the standing of most of the DieHard fans are at on this topic. This has been very hard for me to see everything all at once. Do to fact that some of the people that are at a center of the conflict block me on twitter & I had no interaction with them.

I'm a very nice person in the real world. I try not to make a fool of myself & do have a high standard in my life. Like on the fact that there are people think that I'm a perfect person & that I don't like those that think like me. Witch I'm not at all. I think that comics just need to have a few things. Just about good characters & stories that the readers can read. What is wrong about that.

Now just take a moment & hear me out. I really enjoyed the T.V. shows that of some these characters got in the 90's. I still like to see some of them again, but I can't seem to find them at all. So I did get into the comics & love the classic adventures that they whet on. I'm willing to bet that classic issues that are being collected by people. Have a better enjoy factor that all the recent ones combine.

The thing that gets me is "What I'm I fighting for here in comicsgate?" The thing that I'm fighting for in comicsgate is for better stories & no politics of kind. I'm not going to buy a comic that support any person's view on the world that we live in.

I don't like to see anyone's personal views on any topic of the world in a comic at all. It's weak story telling if you ask me. I just like to escape the world for a small amount of time of each day to feel at peace after hearing that there is trouble in this world.

For some of those that just love the classic basic good stories & amazing adventures that we get to see in comics in the past is almost gone in some parts of the industry. I just wish that we can get more of them & not this low quality high dollar scam that is there. I just hate to say that I think this is not the way that I think is going on.

Now I will try to give the comics industry a chance to got their act together & clean up their act, but I do have may limits on how many times that they mess up. If they don't steer away from this iceberg that they clearly see in front of them. Then they are doomed to the point of failure in the end. I can't stand by & just see any industry go under by it's own stupidity.

Is not a hard to see that some of the biggest companies in the comic industry are failing & why? They just think that they can put anything out think it will sell, buy it doesn't sell out on the shelves that it put on. I think there will be doom for those that don't seem to care,

With that said. I just wish that we all stop buy the comics that we don't like t buy & find something that everyone will buy to enjoy.
