Batman

Hey peoples. Today I'm gonna talk about batman. Here it goes.



My new screensaver.

Ok so on Thursday me, Larry, my dad, and Mario went to a Batman marathon! It had Batman Begins, the Dark Knight, and the Dark Knight Rises. It started around 6:30 and ended 3 in the morning. The Dark Knight and the Dark Knight Rises were my favorite. I'm not sure why i didn't like Batman Begins. My favorite scene was the car chase when he had to save rachel.



The Dark Knight was awesome. I really liked how the Joker wasn't to cartoonish and he was realistic with him just wearing makeup and stuff. One of my friends had nightmares about him once. There was a lot of cool scenes but I liked the one when he used sonar from peoples cellphones to fight the Jokers henchmen. I really didn't expect Harvey Dent to show up either. when I heard his name I hit my dad till he looked at me and made this face.


I really loved the motorcycle Batman used as well. It was unique too because most movies stay low go up to the climax and come down slowly. Dark Knight is a roller coaster. I liked how they included Scarecrow in all three movies too. He's a great actor.


Now for Dark Knight Rises I know many of you haven't seen it yet so I will try not to spoil it. It seems like Joker probably would of been the better choice for the climatic last movie. But they really did it up in a nice way.



(spoilers) There's one character that I really liked too that was a detective that happened to have Robin as his middle name. It's cool how he finds the batcave at the end too. It had a reference to the comics also because there's one part where Bane breaks Batman's back. Which I remember was a cover.



Okay you're good now. They also gave the bad guys more believable powers too. Like they didn't use Poison Ivy who can grow plants. I really liked those movies. Bye!

Nerf elite

Hey peoples. Today I'm gonna talk about the new Nerf guns coming out. Here it goes.

Okay so Nerf is making a new series of Nerf guns. It is separate from the N Strike, Vortex, and Dart Tag series.








It's called N Strike Elite.


It's some N Strike guns that have been upgraded, reshelled and repainted. It's also grey, black, and blue instead of the traditional N Strike orange yellow and black. There's the Retaliator a Recon upgrade, the Rampage a Raider upgrade, the Stockade a Barricade upgrade, and a Firestrike a Nitefinder upgrade. There is also supposed to be a Jolt Elite but I haven't seen a reliable picture and I don't think there gonna make one because the Jolt is just single shot pistol that fits in your pocket.


Everybody's excited about the Firestrike because the Nightfinder was so cool. Lastly is the new Vortex Pyragon and the Hail Fire.

The Retaliator is the same as the Recon except its got a new stock, a repaint, and better internals that make it shoot up to seventy five feet. The Retaliator is basically a pistol with a stock and barrel extension. Unfortunately the barrel extension doesn't help ranges from reviews I've read and the clip holds 12 Elite darts. For me a 6 out of 10.


Retaliator




Recon

The rampage is a raider with once again a repaint, better internals for Max ranges, and a 24 dart drum instead of a 35 dart drum. I'm not sure how that last parts a upgrade but I hope it jams less frequently then the raider. My raider I got for Christmas fired 1 dart and broke. :( the Rampage you hold with too hands one on the handle and one on the loading handle the darts are held in the drum on the side. For me a 7 out of 10.


Rampage



Raider



From left too right
Alpha trooper 18 darts
Rampage 24 darts
Raider 35 darts

The Stockade has a repaint, better internals, and a stock that holds 10 darts so the blaster has 20 in total. The Stockade is a automatic pistol with a stock. For me a 8 out of 10.


Stockade



Barricade

I would review the Firestrike but I don't have enough information on it.



Only pic of the Firestrike it's supposed to come out in 2013.



Nitefinder simple and powerful.

The Hailfire is the biggest blaster of the year. It's a blaster with rotating ammo rack that can hold 8 clips of ammo. If you have 8 18 dart clips that's 144 dart capacity, the largest ever! Its automatic too.


Hailfire

Lastly there's the Vortex Pyragon that is like a Raider with a 40 disc drum it can slam fire too. Its also red and white instead of the traditional green and black Vortex blasters. Slam fire is when you hold the trigger down and pull the loading handle back and forth repeatedly.


Now for the Elite darts. They carry the same blue color scheme as the Elite series and are supposed to go farther. They differ from regular Whistler darts because their a bit longer, made of better foam, and have a better tip.



So that's it on the latest Nerf weaponry. The Retaliator and Rampage are the only ones in stores now but the Stockade is available for preorder in the UK. I don't have any of these guns though so for a review I would look somewhere else.
Bye!

The Beasts of Tarzan

Hi. Today I'm blogging on Tarzan. Here it goes.






So I'm reading the third old Tarzan book. It's called Beast of Tarzan. I haven't read the Tarzan books in a while so I was a bit surprised when it was in the third person. Are the other books like this? I don't remember reading a third person book in a long time.


It's one of the lesser known Tarzan books. Its starts out with Tarzan's son being stolen by Nicholas Rockoff who escaped from jail. Rockoff was the enemy in the second book too. Then Tarzan is marooned on a jungle island and Jane and the baby escape from the ship. that's where I am now. I have fond memories of Tarzan from when I was younger.



From the Disney movies and tv shows and when my dad showed us a old Tarzan View Master. Those are the things that you look at pictures that tell a story in a camera thing. I only remember one picture where Tarzan was on a hill wrestling a huge brown ape. The sky was red and lightning flashed behind them. I liked that.








The two above may have been from the View Master.

So Tarzan is a great character. Along with Warlord of Mars of course. Bye!

Road Warrior

Hi. Today I'm blogging on another game. Here it goes.



The game is called Road Warrior. It's a racing game. It's also much different though because you can steer or go faster manually. It's one of my favorite games. I've had it for a couple months



So you start off with the weakest car. You can buy attachments, decals, and paints. But none of those effect the cars performance. You can buy better weapons too. Lastly you can buy better weapon accuracy, speed, turbo, and health.






So you start off in last place and you don't have to push a button to accelerate because it starts for you all you do is work the controls. So you can push two different buttons to flip different directions in the air which gives you a speed boost, which stays longer the more you flip. Then there's a brake button and a button to shoot other cars.


So road warrior is a great game. It's got simple controls too.
Bye!

Infinity blade 2

Hi everybody. Today I'm gonna talk about Infinity Blade 2. Here it goes.



There was a new update called Vault of Tears. The first part of the game is Japanese themed.


This update is medieval themed.


It now has clues to treasure and stuff from treasure maps you can buy with virtual money.


It got new weapons and armor too.



The game likes to have matching items. So to be silly they made this outfit.


There's much more monsters too. Here's a tip DO NOT pull the sword out of the ground. A monster came out and killed me with 1 hit.



There's much more puzzles with this update too. Also I found a treasure map that told me too go to the Japanese place but I don't know how to get there. Can anyone help me? Here's a link to to a site about the update.

http://epicgames.com/community/2012/05/vault-of-tears-update-for-infinity-blade-ii-announced/

If you look at the comments it tells how to get cool items. But be warned it has game spoilers. It got much more story too.



So Infinity Blade 2 just keeps getting better and better. Also if you don't understand the story there's a book called Infinity Blade Awakening on iBooks that explains everything that happens between the first and second games. There's one more feature too. You can go to clash mob and play online challenges against titans from both games. Bye!
