Hey there, guys. I'm back once again writing another entry for what's been going on so far on my end. ^^ Still busy as ever and still working at my job. Other than that recently I have been studying for the GRE exam so I can take the exam as soon as possible. The sooner I can take this exam so I can get into the university of my choice, the better it is. Which is another reason that I want to try to take this exam at least once, but do it well enough. Because the university I'm trying to get into which is University of Miami requires the minimum score of 297(they revised the GRE to have the scores from English(130-170) and Math(130-170)) to get in. It's almost like the SAT, but a bit tougher. Fortunately the book I'm studying it for is not only really good, but straightforward that explains clearly what I need to expect for the exam. Wish me the best of luck so that I can take it only once and get a good enough score to get in. I'm going to need it.

To more personal notes, it won't be long now till the movie The Avengers finally comes out this May and I look forward to seeing it. ^^ Even the second season of the animated series has recently began airing on TV and it's going to get better from here on out. It'll continue in some parts where the first season left off which we will finally get to see the arrival of both the Kree and the Skrull alien races to set their sights on Earth. But it will also feature other heroes to help the Avengers out including the recent Guardians of the Galaxy(where my Marvel favorite Rocket Raccoon who also appeared in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3) will be making their apperance.

Transformers Prime Season 2 gets crazier since it now focuses away from the Dark Energon story from the first season and revolves to more personal issues to what's going on in the Earth between the Autobots and Decepticons. As of now, this is so far one of the best TF shows this generation. But I still think that G1 outclasses this series and Beast Wars in every shape or form. I still have yet to buy the complete first season of the series.

The new Thundercats series currently airing on Cartoon Network is now in its second season and brought forth 2 more classic villains from the 80s series who have now been given new names which I like and they are Monkian(now as Addicus) and Jackalman(now known as Kaynar) to join Mumm-Ra's ranks to retrieve the Sword of Omens from the Thundercats for his own evil purposes. But other than that, I really love the new character design for Kaynar in which most of it stays true to his 80s counterpart but with a more anthro look with some anime style to it.

For video games, the most recent issue of Playstation the Official Magazine has placed Sly Cooper in the front cover for his next upcoming game for the PS3 which is Sly Cooper Thieves in Time. I'm glad that this game is been getting a lot of hype and the attention it needs and to have our raccoon boy appear in the front cover of this magazine which makes it even better. Here's the proof [link] . There is a petition that placed the link that anyone who is a Sly fan like him and me should check it out. It is regarding about getting Sanzaru Games(developer working on Thieves in Time) and Sony to beg them to bring forth a Collector's Edition for the game which is really needed after 7 years since we saw a new Sly game like what they did with the CE for Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception last year. Here are my thoughts of what the Collector's Edition for Thieves in Time should have which I forwarded it in the petition and here'sthe link for the petition [link] :

-Box in which has in the outer part that it looks like the Thievius Raccoonus from the series.
Inside will contain:
-Sly Cooper statue that is represented of his apperance how he is going to look like from Thieves in Time.
-Metal case which contains the game
-Sly Cooper's calling card as shown in the games
-Free voucher for DLC content(if possible for the game)
-Minibook of the Art and Behind the Scenes through Thieves in Time

Tell me what you guys think on it. Hopefully we'll hear more on this game at E3 this June which hopefully they'll finally give us an actual release date which I'm still betting that it's going to be either late August or sometime in September of 2012 as Glen Egan(head of Sanzaru Games) mentioned before. Also as of recent, there is a new contest to al of you Sly fans out there that Glen Egan is hosting to make your own treasure that you can draw for the game so that the developers from Sanzaru Games can post the best one in there and the winner will receive a PS Vita. Cool, huh? ^^

As for Nintendo, there has been a recent poll in IGN about which Nintendo franchise should make a comeback on the Wii U and check it out. [link] . For a good reason, the Starfox series(one of my all time faves) got the most votes than any other there and I don't blame them. Because after SF Assault, it has been 7 years since we've seen a new Starfox game on a major home console(not counting SF Command on the DS and the SF 64 remake on the 3DS that came out last year) and the series is long overdue for a new one. That's why I believe that there is a very likely chance that Nintendo will somehow reveal something on a new SF Wii U game for this year's E3 when they talk more about the Wii U and that they are planning to release it later this year for the Holiday season of 2012. Not to mention that I think that it is most likely Retro Studios who are working on the new SF game. If you read this link I posted seveal entries ago, then you'll understand why [link] . Since we never saw this series on the Wii, there should be no excuse for Nintendo not to do it on the Wii U especially since they can take full advantage over the new controller along with HD graphics and an improved online feature and finally to continue with the canonical approach that takes place after Assault. ^^

As for my pics, more will be on the way, my friends. ^^

*UPDATE: A new friend of mine in DA named did a cool rendition of one of my own characters I did in his stye which I liked from this link [link] . Please check out his work. It's really good. ^^

Also here's a new article from Masahiro Sakurai on IGN that work on the next Smash Bros. game for the Wii U/3DS is getting started now that Kid Icarus Uprising has finally been completed. [link]
