Hooray for Cheap Airsoft!

After watching MGS: Philanthropy I decided to check out what was new in the airsoft market and saw beautiful cheap guns on Evike!
First is a Barrett .50 cal style sniper rifle, which I think is made by JG I'll have to check up on that:












Second, we got a Sten made by AGM!









AGM continues their WWII weapon extravaganza with a StG-44! (Shown in fake wood, comes in real wood as well)











The last one I'll show is a Romanian AK with real wood by CYMA!











Finally, we got a Dragunov (unfortunately not wood) by A&K!






Now here's the prices for each gun:
Barrett Sniper Rifle: $189
Sten: $180
StG44: $160 (fake wood)
Romanian AK: $190
Dragunov: $150

You can pick these guns up at Evike.

Philanthropy Review

MGS: Philanthropy came out recently. I just watched it and I was somewhat disappointed. The main thing I am disappointed about is this weird supernatural thing going on where everyone's eyes change color and they go berserk. Elizabeth's eyes go straight black and she goes berserk. I don't get it and quite frankly I don't much care for it. To me MGS is all about technology and this introduction to paranormal isn't my cup of tea. There's some weird foxhound style loon that as of right now I'm iffy on, but I hope it gets better. I do like how the movie starts in Outer Heaven, I thought that was pretty cool. I hope at some point when they are stealthing around you get to hear a guard go, "Huh? What was that noise?" just because I'd love to hear that in a movie. The voice acting was well done considering it is dubbed over, kind of reminds me of "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" ... in a good way. What they just released was only part one, which is part of why I was disappointed by this. That does mean that we get more MGS: Philanthropy though, which is pretty cool. I do hope Otacon makes an entrance instead of just a cameo. Overall, it's alright, if you're an MGS fan definitely download it (it is a free download), but if you're not a fan of the MGS series then I say make a pass on it.

New Stuff!

So I usually order bundles of stuff from Amazon. This time I ordered Lennon sunglasses with black frames and reflective lenses, Resident Evil 2 (PC), 8-Bit Operators, and Liaisons Dangereuses. Liaisons is the only one I don't have yet. As for the others, let's do a quick review... except for RE2... I need to beat that first.
The sunglasses. They definitely block the life out of the sun and while they do that they make me look like a Bond villain! They came with this nice microfiber sleeve the put them in. It's all very nice.
8-Bit Operators. I had listened to this CD before, but I didn't remember it too well and I wasn't that big on Kraftwerk. Years have passed and I got it after getting big into electronic music. It's a great CD, but three tracks stick out as bad ones. "Man-Machine" by Gwen and the Counter Reset... this track is just awful compared to the original. The artist goes through the lyrics and then does these weird vocals that have nothing to do with the original song. This track... is awful. "Radioactivity"... they turned this song into a dance song... that sounds absolutely NOTHING like the original. If it wasn't Radioactivity and it had a different name like "Ausfluge" or something and wasn't on this album, then I'd like it. The last track that wasn't too good was "It's More Fun to Compute" which is supposed to be "Heimcomputer" but the guy doesn't sing and that's what I loved about "Heimcomputer" was the vocals. That's the only bad thing about the song though. The best tracks on this album are probably "Tanzmusik," "Pocket Calculator," and "Die Roboter" because they stay so true to the original song and the song sounds so great in 8-bit!

My verdict on both? Get both.

Sweet Home... Not About to Make that Reference

I started playing the game "Sweet Home" for the NES. It's really confusing... it'll take awhile to get the hang of it. You have to move your party member by member, which is weird. Each member has a specific item that you need to continue on in the game. It's pretty much Resident Evil 1 w/o zombies and so far no bad lines. Random battles suck though when your party isn't around. So yeah I still have yet to actually play it.
I'm hoping to order some more stuff this weekend. Aside from music a game and a new pair of sunglasses. Sure I love my aviators, but now every guy has aviators and I hate that. I like to be different sometimes and this is one of those times.
