Made this because I felt the need for a new AVP game. Even decided to make that title its own logo thing too.
Enjoy all you Alien/Xenomorph and Predator/Yautja fans.

The concept of a Yautja/Predator vs the Lou Ferrigno version of The Incredible Hulk actually intrigues me.
Because of the idea of a Yautja wanting to find the 'Monster' that shows up time to time, but keeps disappearing. But then finds out it's David Banner and the Yautja tries to get David to let out the "Beast" because he knows getting the Hulk's head and spine as a trophy would be perfect for him.
There's also the fact that this Hulk isn't as unstoppable as the others because the CBS version is maybe one of the more 'Grounded' takes on the character. And I love David as a character and I would be concerned for him. So, putting him against something like a Predator would be something. Like, a possible opponent the Hulk can actually go toe to toe with...maybe. Granted, I recall this Hulk could kill with one punch. But he's more susceptible to injuries.
And yes...maybe the insane idea of Hulk fighting an Alien/Xenomorph would be interesting. But maybe David is somehow thrust into the future after the events of Aliens and meets Ripley.
Silly fanfiction I'm talking about crossing over an old superhero show that ran from 1978 to 1982 (With three TV movies that came out in 1988, 1989 and 1999) with two movie monsters. All because I was thinking about Predator 2 and thinking about that Hulk show or "The Trial of The Incredible Hulk".

I hope this person is still doing okay. And I understand she wanted to keep her identity a secret.
But considering she talks about Sonic Adventure 2 in this post of hers. And today (Or yesterday if you're seeing this now. I'm reblogging this later at night), the official news of Keanu Reeves as Shadow the hedgehog in the third film is here.
I'm again, hoping she's living her best life and enjoying these films. Especially with this news. :) I'd love to talk to her again.
Also, her post still stays strong...even though I question if I rings true for something like the Halo series. Because I remember Paramount has that show and they have the Sonic movies...and the one with the blue hedgehog is much better received because it has writers that respect the source material.
I strangely want the writers of the Sonic movies to write the Bioshock movie. But that's just a me thing because I feel like they've proven themselves.
Why Doing a Direct Movie Adaptation of a Sonic Game Won’t Work
I’m seeing so. many. comments. about how people hate the idea of the 2019 Sonic movie. People have been showing skepticism about the movie, but never more until just recently, when the basis of the plot was revealed:
“… a small town [comes] together to help the sheriff save Sonic… from the government chasing after him.”
Ever since then, people have been angrily demanding to know where Tails is, why they aren’t doing an Adventure adaption, where the Death Egg is, why there are humans, where the giant robots are, etc., etc., etc.
I can easily tell you that the reason they’re not going to do a straight, direct adaption of the games is THE MEDIUM.
You need to understand a few things about entertainment mediums.
First of all, movies and video games are not the same things. That’s obvious. Likewise, stories told in movie and video games are tailored in ways that a) fit the chosen medium, and b) are relevant to the target audience.
“Sonic the Hedgehog II”, for example, worked well as a video game. The reason? Not the storyline or the characters, but the gameplay. The plot was as bare-bones as it could get: Sonic and his new friend Tails team up to stop Dr. Eggman and destroy the Death Egg.
That’s it. That’s literally the whole story. So why are people attracted to it? Like I said, the gameplay.
A movie that follows that exact plot is going to be short, boring, and overall dull. The reason? The audience can’t interact with a movie in the same way they can a video game. All they can do is watch, and they’re only going to be interested in watching the movie if they are invested in the characters, invested in the story, and invested in the emotional/character development, or the overarching themes and lessons.
Even with a game like Sonic Adventure II, which has a much meatier story, a movie that’s a direct adaptation just wouldn’t work. More needs to be added for the audience to be invested.
On top of that, the audience for the Sonic movie is not made up entirely of gamers or Sonic fans. This movie is being made specifically to draw in new fans – in other words, people who know little to nothing about Sonic. There needs to be something there that will make them consider watching this movie. A blue hedgehog that can run at the speed of sound isn’t going to necessarily be a great selling point by itself.
So yes, a new story has to be made – something that will not work as a video game, but may work as a solid plot for a movie. Yes, humans will be involved to help push this new story along. But don’t worry; Sonic will still be the main character.
One of the key elements here that I think Paramount is trying to focus on is familiarity. How much can the audience relate to and sympathize with the characters? The more they can relate and sympathize, the higher the chances they will be invested in the characters’ plights and want them to succeed.
For example, one of the biggest reasons “Guardians of the Galaxy” included 80′s and 90′s pop songs was to induce a sense of familiarity – a sense of “human”, if you will. The movie is very out there; it’s about a bunch of aliens on all kinds of alien worlds doing alien things. And yet, when we get that opening scene with Star-Lord dancing in an alien temple, using weird space-tech, and kicking around bizarre little creatures, we’re not lost because the music – something earth-bound and human – keeps the audience stable.
It essentially gives the audience a solid place to stand where they can easily slip into the movie and get around the weirdness to embrace the more universal and understandable aspects of the film: the themes of family, abuse, and companionship.
Back to the Sonic movie. The target audience – who, as we’ve already established, isn’t invested in the titular character – needs to have something human and familiar to grip onto as they explore Sonic’s character and his plight. The driving question: why should I care about Sonic? Why should I care about his story?
There is nothing – literally nothing – except for the execution of the story to get the target audience invested. There’s no fun gameplay gimmicks, no beating stages and feeling accomplished, and no time-attacks and surpassing high scores. It’s ALL story, plot, character development, and familiarity.
TL;DR: Doing a direct adaptation of a Sonic game won’t work as a movie because the two are completely different in terms of medium, and different mediums have different audiences and require different standards to work well.

Alright, I love and understand my mom when wanting to set those Yautja masks. But it was bothering me that they weren't on the other side. And considering I did thought about moving the silly Halloween hand washing metal sign.
And with those masks, all it took was a small towel and mostly empty soap bottle as my 'Hammer' to get those nails in. I tried using this big plastic top, but it was too big.
OH yeah, Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island is playing on Boomerrang right now. Or well, "Terror Time" now.
I wanted to wait till I put some of my collectibles up or nearly all of them but I decided not to. The last four pictures I just took. Today, I decided to start moving into my new room and well, things went amazingly. More so because when I went out to get my haircut, my brother had arrived here and helped my mom get the mattress, nearly the bed, and the shelves already in the room. I said he swooped in like a superhero or a superhero to the rescue. But yeah, and the biggest pain in the ass was trying to get the PS5 HD cord into that TV.

I still want Lena as Rouge and Erika as Amy if they show up in Sonic movie 3. I understand if they don't.
But I just want the dream of "Amelia Hughes voicing Rouge and Charlie Morningstar voicing Amy Rose" to be true.
This is what I said in my retweet to my Twitter version of this. I was trying to find the Tumblr version here.
I want Lena Headey to voice Rouge the Bat if she's in Sonic movie 3. I may sound stupid. But if Krysten Ritter is really a human character (Very likely), then I want Lena.
Mainly because I can go nuts if it became official.
Can we also get Erika Henningsen as Amy Rose if she appears too, please. I'll go double nuts if that happens. But I understand if that doesn't happen. I'm merely fan casting, that's all.

Well...I saw some silly Tumblr posts referencing the Matrix with Shadow. And I just watched footage of John Campea revealing it...
Wow. It's true.
I'm sad it's not Andrew Garfield or even Hayden Christensen. But Keanu is a great actor. So, I have faith in them casting him.
But there goes my EXTREMELY SILLY theory of Andrew leaving Del Toro's Frankenstein for Sonic movie 3. But honestly, it's still amazing and amusing Keanu turned down the MCU and he's in the third Sonic movie. To me, that's a win no matter what.
Maybe we could still get Andrew in that Bioshock movie.

Update since I set these up last night. Including got the other plug ins for my PS5.
I wanted to wait till I put some of my collectibles up or nearly all of them but I decided not to. The last four pictures I just took.

After trying to login into my old Steam account but forgot my username. But it still won't allow properly search me after I confirmed I'm not a robot multiple times. I swear, I just want to order a new Xbox 360 with titles I miss playing on it. But I should just wait till Microsoft starts releasing some of their games onto the PS5...mainly Halo. And I don't want to make a Steam account.
But what's the point? I miss Halo. I miss Gears of War. I miss AVP 2010.

So, earlier, I played some MW 2019. And to be honest, despite it is still fun. It's not worth it. It's not worth all those GB's. Including the fact with all that DLC or well, EVERYTHING from the season's pass should just be free after all this time. I had a "Gambling" problem with this game, but it's passed now.
Especially with how fucking stupid the next game is that you have to buy a 70-dollar DLC and the MW2 maps should've been in the new MW2 in the first place. Or Hell, they could've added more of those maps in MW 2019. Seriously, the way COD has been going disappoints me. And I shouldn't have bought the MW3 DLC anyway months ago. I really love those old MW2 maps but putting them behind that isn't worth it. Granted, MW2 2022 was fun but...it's just stupid man. I'm glad I don't play the game anymore. And the latest Godzilla X Kong DLC confirmed that I was right to uninstall the game.
And again, all those fucking GB's.
But yeah, this post was originally about the Insomniac Spider-Man games. While I did wonder about it, but I uninstalled Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered. I think I won't replay it if I recall right. Oh yeah, also uninstalled Arkham Asylum. Now I can confirm or so I uninstalled Spider-Man Remastered.
Gotta admit, I played more of Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered yesterday by starting the first of the DLC missions. But I only finished the first mission and finding one of the old paintings. While also swinging to one of the arson/bomb crime activity things. But after that, if I recall right. I decided to uninstall both that and the Miles Morales game. But before that, I finished the scavenger hunt in that game...
That was such a beautiful ending to that side mission. That I felt like not wanting to play more missions. Because that was just perfect.

I've been wanting to share these photos for a bit. The reason I wanted to share these because since on Thursday, my parents finally slept in their new and improved room. I realized that I fear or saddened that I will soon move into my new room. Which actually isn't a bad thing. I love more space in the new room I'll be moving in. But I'm saddened about the fact I'll be moving out of this room soon. I've been in here for almost a year. And while I don't really share pictures like these. But I had thought of sharing them and maybe when I'm set up in my new room. I'll showcase some pictures of that too.

I have the first game reinstalled after a while for photo stuff. I have questioned if I should play new game plus and replay the story for photo options. I question if I should do that. Because I hate knowing character posing isn't even in this game. Or even mission replay. I'll think about it because for some stupid reason, I am installing MW 2019.

I've been wanting to reblog this since yesterday. And I wanted to say this. Reading this and more. I like you can come up with these touching and emotional crossover stuff.
While recently I mentioned the idea of a "Smiling Friends AU" with Eda, Johanna, Grace and Amelia. But that makes no damn sense. Unless Eda is Charlie and Johanna is Pim. But they are very different characters. And the concept of Amelia working for a charity to make people happy is insanely hilarious. Yet I have thought who would be Mr. Boss and I hilariously think it would be me.
But seriously, these are all good ideas. I like the 2nd and 3rd ones. Those are very sweet. I want to share my crossover idea about Spider-Man/MGADD. It's something I want to continue with. But I feel like with the Spider-Man crap, it feels REALLY not appropriate for a show like Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur because of my ideas. I have joked about like imagine if something like Rugrats or The Wild Thornberry's had a crossover with The Dark Knight. Or more so recently, Infinity Train with The Batman movie that came out two years ago. Yet I'm like, I need to get this to work.
Besides, Spider-Man Twitter has brought me down a few times and it's best I should ignore that side of the fandom. The idea of trying to make the best version of Spider-Man I possibly can. Yet I should be having fun.
Too many character fantasies I need to share at some point

So, I finally watched the rest of the episodes fully or so. Had to check back for the after credits scene of season 2's first episode.
But yes, this show is good.
While I only stopped at the Halloween special. But my lord dude, Smiling Friends is something special. And I mean that in the best way.
