Openings and Endings: Gundam AGE Opening 2

OK, the information on the U.E., now reviled as Vagan, I found and posted on a HeroClix post was totally wrong by the look of the information reviled on episode 15 and the introduction at the beginning of the second opening.

Neoscream's Life for the week of the 23rd to the 29th of January

Monkey D. Luffy after the
timeskip

Welcome to another week of my life. For those new to the blog, the "Neoscream's Life" posts are basically a weekly dairy of mine. The week before last another draw of my Chest of Draws (well one of the two in my room) broke and my dad could not fix it, but what did last week being.

On Monday morning Star Trek Online was still downloading so I had to leave the laptop on while I went to work to finish downloading it. I worked from 11:30AM to 2:30PM. Atif, Marisa and their son popped into work so that Atif can stay hi to every body. It was great to see him again after about two years. When I got back home after hanging with them for awhile after work, I found that Star Trek Online finally downloaded and all I had left to do was install it. As the game was now free the play, I decided to try, watch is the reason why I downloaded it. I played follow the main tutorial mission against the Borg. The game is based about 30 years afterthe events of Star Trek Nemesis. The Klingons are waging war again, the Borg are back after getting their butts kicked by the crew of the U.S.S. Voyager and the Dominon has re-organised them selves. In the tutorial, the Federation are defending one of there colonies that is under attack by a borg fleet (not just one cube). You are an Ensign on board one of the ship battling the Borg. You first get sent to another ship that needs help. As you are about to return to your ship, the commanding officer of the ship you just helped decides to give you one of the new offices fresh out of the Academy they just pick up before the attack. When you return to your ship, you find that the rest of the ships officers were killed in the battle and now you are the the acting ships captain. You go off help transport wounded, battle the Borg in your ship and battle the Borg in you ship and in a away team. When you return to Star Fleet Command, you are promoted to Lieutenant and given prominent command of the ship, while the new officer that was given to you becomes you first Bridge Officer. The game some far in interesting with its split of ship missions and Away Team missions. It's very customizable, you can alter the looks and names of your bride officers, but sadly not the race or gender. I went for a random alien Engineer who I called Hyniks, I called my ship U.S.S. Hunter (Shi'Kar class light cruiser) and I ended up getting the female Andorian Tactical Officer which I based her looks and name on Rei Ayanami from Evangelion. I also played some Minecraft and found a ton of Red Stone, so I made a compass so I can make a map when I get some sugar cane. Other than that I also listed the P's, Q's, R's and the first half S's of my HeroClix figures on to HCRealms.

Tuesday was a day off work. I posted last week's Neoscream's Life post and updated the DreamClix Dial Designs page on my blog. I played some more Star Trek Online where I got a second Bridge Officer, a female unjointed Trill Science Officer. I also played some Minecraft when I been building farms. I manage to list the second half S's of my HeroClix collection on HCRealms. Man there is too many super heroes and villains beginning with S. Plus S.H.I.E.L.D. generics do not help.

On Wednesday I worked from 11:30AM to 4PM. I was too busy getting the HeroClix post ready to do much else. I was working on the HeroClix post as I knew (thought I was) going to be too busy to work on it tomorrow because of the New Chest of Draws.

Ensign (and First Officer) Rei Ayanami

Due to the Chest of Draws arriving, I got Thursday off work to build it and fill it up. Both my parents off too. As the Chest of Draws will be arriving until sometime between 12PM and 2PM, I quickly updated the DreamClix Dial Designs page before I tidy up the space were the new Chest of Draws go. I had already gotten the altered CosmicBreak dials for the update yesterday so all I had the do was replace the old image with the new ones. The new flat packed Chest of Draws arrived at 1:45PM when we were having lunch. My dad left for a meeting with his Area Manager at 2PM saying that he will not be long and to not put together the Chest of Draws, he will do it. I was not very happy about be told not to put it together when I took the day off work to do it. I decide to play some Star Trek Online for about an hour and a hour. In it I gained another Bridge Office, a female Bolian Engineering Officer. Hang on, all my Bridge Officer are females. OK, my character muat be a Pimp Captain. After all that time dad still had not turned up. I decided to change to Minecraft as I could easily come off it when my dad finally turns up. I play it for an hour and a half dad still had not turned up. He finally turned up about 5:45PM. Nearly four hours and I had to be at York House for HeroClix at 7PM so now I do not have the time to put away my stuff back into the Chest of Draw. However while my dad was building the draws, I received a text message from Darren S saying that he has to cancel the game this week. So I can now fill up the draws. The Chest of Draws was not as wide as I thought. When I measured the old one when I was ordering the new one my measures for the width was about 85cm, the new one was 75cm on the dot. A difference of about 10cm, so why is there a 20cm gap. I must of miss measured or converted from inches wrong. I originally measured it out in inches and the when I found that IKEA and Argos uses centimeters I used the tap measure to convent it. The shorter width did not worry me much as it was taller than the old one. Also I never check the depth of it ever, which was a stupid thing to do as it was not very deep. Major note to self when I replace the other one measure the 'f'ing depth. I just manage to fit about 80% of the stuff that was in the old one into the new one. Luckily I manage to find places else where for the other stuff. Blaire came online not long after I finish putting the stuff away.
Watched: Episodes 12 and 13 of Lets Play Minecraft Survival and last week’s episode of the Gadget Guys.

Persona 4

First thing on Friday morning I posted the DreamClix Special post. I was planning on watching Mobile Gundam AGE before going to work, but the video was taking forever the stream (about one minute of video in the space a fifteen minutes of waiting. I found out that it was the video that was having the problem streaming and not my slow internet. So I decided to play on Star Trek Online instead, but life throw a hard ball with a patch update. As the laptop was downloading both a video (well buffering) and an update patch for Star Trek Online, decided it was best not to push my internet with playing Minecraft or listing HeroClix figures. I worked from 12PM to 2:30PM. When I got home I played some more Star Trek Online and Minecraft. In Star Trek Online I got some Dilithium, so I decided to pick up an extra Bridge Officer. Keeping in the theme of the rest of my officers I went for another female officer. She was a Vulcan Tactical Office. With this decision, I will most likely go down the Escort class line of ships.
Watched: Episode 15 of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE, episode 1 of Persona 4 and episode 277 of the subtitled version of Bleach.

On Saturday this week there was no coffee due to Richard being away on a family wedding. This also means no role-play this week as well. I worked from 12PM to 5PM. I played a ton of Minecraft, building and gathering. Blaire came online in the evening.
Watched: Episodes 14 to 17 of Lets Play Minecraft Survival.

Sunday was a standard day off work. I spent the morning posted the Cosmic Cosplay and updating the DreamClix Dial Designs page. Then during the day played some Minecraft when I made a Cobblestone Factory based on this video guide, posted two Openings and Endings post and played a little bit of Star Trek Online.
Watched: Episodes 363 and 394 of One Piece, episodes 194 and 195 of the subtitled version of Naruto: Shippuden, episode 24 of Transformers: Prime, episode 2 of Persona 4 and episode 13 of Code Geass R2.

Cosmic Cosplay for the week of the 23rd to the 29th of January

Leon in "Special Agent"

Porphyria in "Enigma"

Hi all and welcome to another Cosmic Cosplay post. This is a weekly that happens on a Sunday or Monday were I talk about the new Cosplay Deviants sets, any Cosplay Deviants news I learn about, information about last Thursday’s CosmicBreak update and several DreamClix idea and/or designs (meanly Cosplay Deviants, character’s that been cosplayed and CosmicBreak).

First off, this week’s Cosplay Deviants sets. On Wednesday there was a new set from a new male Deviant Leon. The set was called Special Agent. In it he cosplays as Leon Scott Kennedy from Resident Evil. On Saturday there was a new set from Porphyria. The set was called Enigma. In it she cosplays as a female version of Riddler from the DC Batman comics.

Next is the CosmicBreak News. Not much to report. 10% Extra Root this week and a new weekly Garapon. Oh and the update has coursed a bug which is causing text in Quest Mode to be garbled and unreadable, however the bug will fixed during the next maintenance. Still no signs of the new moes also.

Now for the last section of the post, the DreamClix section. Again this week will be a Cosplay Deviants special. I will be doing an idea for Porphyria and designs for Erato and Aza.

Cosplay Card:  Porphyria.

Team Ability: Cosplay Deviants.

Extra Keywords: Cosplay.

Special Abilities: Give this character a power action and place a standard light object from out side the game adjacent to this character.

Half Cost if: Riddler, Edward Nigma, Etna or Delirium.

Well that is it for now. Until next time, Mecha Up.

DreamClix Special, News Overload

Welcome to another DreamClix Special post. For people new to the blog the "DreamClix Special" posts is normally happens on weeks that there was no games. It contains why the game never happens; next week's game; the HeroClix news since the last HeroClix post; a little larger DreamClix section which are fan made HeroClix; and news about updates to the DreamClix Dial Designs page. The was no game this week as Darren cancelled at the last minute, which was good for my (read next week's Neoscream's Life post to learn why. So the game for this week will be moved to next week. Strongest Out There. 500 points. Three actions. One figure must be a Hulk or a Hulk like figure. All other figures can not be over 100 points. No Feats are aloud. The Hulk or Hulk like character's Defence powers can not be Outwitted.

Now the HeroClix news for the week, and there is a lot this week. This week there were previews of Nova Corps Recruit and Nova Corps Centurion from the Marvel: Galactic Guardians set; the U.S.S. Excelsior, the I.K.S. Kronos One and the Warship Voyager from the Star Trek: Tactics set; Gabe Jones from the Marvel: Avengers Movies set; and In-Betweener and Soul Gem object. There is also news on mote up and coming HeroClix stuff. There will be a twenty-four figure, single figure booster set for the new Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, as well as a board game and starter set for the film. The board game will have Batman, Bane, Catwoman and the Joker, while the starter will have Batman, Catwoman, the Joker, Bane, Harvey Two-Face and Sgt. Gordon. There will be two new Fast Forces sets based on DC: 75th Anniversary and Marvel: Giant Size X-Men. The DC: 75th Anniversary one is called War of the Light and will contains the Lanterns Atrocious, Larfleeze, Sinestro, Saint Walker, Indigo One and Star Sapphire. While the Marvel: Giant Size X-Men one is called Uncanny X-Men and will contain Professor X, Cyclops, Beast, Iceman, Rogue and Wolverine. Wow a lot of must haves. There will also be a Star Trek: Away Team Starter set that will contain seven characters (not ships) from the newest Star Trek film by J.J. Abrams. The only named figures are Kirk, Spock and McCoy, but I am guessing the other four will be Uhura, Scotty, Sulu and Chekov due to the fact that there are figures for them in the Expeditions board game and It's expansion set. The Batman stuff will be out on June, the Fast Forces stuff will be out on May and the Star Trek: Away Team Starter will be out on July. I am betting the Batman: The Dark Knight Rises will contain the 2012 rules as June is about the time WizKids release a updated rulebook and "Powers and Abilities" card. On personal I have picked up the Incredibly Hulk Fast Forces set. The only box sets left to get are DC: Superman Fast Forces Battle for Smallville and the Lord of the Rings Starter until all the new stuff comes out.

Now for this week's DreamClix section. This week I am doing ideas for a Britannia Pilot from Code Geass, a Fuchikoma from Ghost in the Shell, Gelus from Death Note, a card for One Piece; and Luna Lovegood, Patronus Charm and the Hogwarts School team ability from Harry Potter. But first here are dial designs for Ichigo's Cosplay card from Cosplay Deviants, the New Recruit generic from Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex, the weak version of Mumm-Ra from the 2011 Thundercats; and Monster Carrot from Dragon Ball.

Next is a Pilot Card for the Britannia Pilot from Code Geass. The Holy Empire of Britannia (also refered to as the Britannian Empire or just Britannia) is a nation born from the defeated remnants of the British Empire and is the world's dominant military superpower and one of the large Empire-unions that control Earth initially in the early 21st Century, the others being the Chinese Federation, the Euro Universe, and later United Federation of Nations.
Requirements: Britannia keyword.
Special Ability: None.
Mecha Ability: None.
Team Ability: Britannia
The next Code Geass idea should be a Pilot Card for Lelouch.

Next is a Fuchikoma from Ghost in the Shell. A Fuchikoma is a 1-man tank (walker/roller) used by members of Section 9 of the National Public Safety Commission. They also appear in slightly altered form as Tachikoma in the anime series. The Fuchikoma was the team's A.I. tanks in the manga, but due to copy right problems they were replaced with the Tachikomas in the anime. They possess a simple artificial intelligence and can act independently to support their user in combat. When not in use, they exhibit a childlike personality and provide much of the humor in the series, while also being used to elaborate on Shirow's philosophy and ideas. Their AI does not include typical safeguards as they are military hardware, but because they possess emotions, they are closely monitored for signs of instability. The Fuchikomas within Section 9 are synchronized nightly or after missions to share their experiences and allow the entire group to learn from them. Mechanically, they have four legs and two simple hands with three fingers on extensible arms which double as machine guns. The "face" consists of a large main lens and two smaller sensors with a "mouth" below, which is commonly a grenade launcher but sometimes a heavier machine gun. The pilot sits in a hunched position inside a large posterior pod with interface cables leading to the standard ports in the user's neck for direct control, but the Fuchikoma can also be given orders to act without a pilot.  They can handle many different types of terrain, and are able to walk up walls, rappel, walk, or extend wheels from their feet to drive. They are also submersible. They should be like the Tachikoma, but with a lower move value, a higher damage value and at less one click of health more. The next Ghost in the Shell idea should be Criminal Mastermind.

Next is Gelus from Death Note. Gelus appears in a flashback when Rem explains how to kill a Shinigami. He is a small, doll-like Shinigami whose appearance suggests that he was poorly sewn together from mismatched fabric. He only has one eye, despite having two eye sockets. In the flashback, Rem recalls Gelus watching over a younger Misa Amane in the human world. Knowing that it was Misa's final day, she watches with him. Having fallen in love with Misa, Gelus uses his Death Note to kill Misa's destined murderer, against Rem's protests. Gelus is reduced to a pile of dust as punishment for extending a human life, leaving behind only his Death Note. In the anime, he is shown to drop the pen and start crying, before his eye disappears and he disintegrates. Rem delivers his Death Note to Misa because it was her that he saved as she thinks that was his final wish. In the film, she simply drops it and it lands near Misa. He is voiced by Ken'ichi Matsuyama in Japanese and Michael Dobson in the English dub. He should have the "Shinigami Being" trait (see the dial designs for Ryuk and Rem for the trait), the fight symbol, Phasing, Psychic Blast and Probability Control. He should have about four clicks of health and starting combat values of Movement 6, Attack 9, Defence 16, Damage 2 and Range 10 with one target. He should have the Power Cosmic team ability and the keywords Shinigami and Mystical. The Death Note idea should be a card.

Next is a card for One Piece. Will it be a Feat, an Additional Team Ability or an Object. FEAT.
Supporter of the Straw Hats: Requirements - There must be a character called Monkey D Luffy on your force.
The character this is equipped with must not have the Straw Hat Crew or Pirate keywords and must be 50 points or less. This character gains the Straw Hat Crew keyword.
This will replace the special ability on several dial ideas and will course Cody to drop the Straw Hat Crew keyword. The next One Piece idea should be Gin.

Next is Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter. Luna Lovegood was a witch and daughter of Xenophilius Lovegood and his wife. Her mother accidentally died while experimenting with spells when Luna was nine, and Luna was raised by her father, editor of the magazine The Quibbler, in a rook-like house around the village of Ottery St. Catchpole. Luna attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1992 to 1999 and was sorted into Ravenclaw house. In her fourth year, Luna joined Dumbledore's Army, of which she became an important member. She participated in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries in 1996 and the Battle of the Astronomy Tower in 1997, and co-led the reconstituted Dumbledore's Army when Hogwarts fell under the control of Lord Voldemort. Because of her father's political dissidence at the time, Luna was abducted by Death Eaters to be held ransom, and imprisoned in the dungeons of Malfoy Manor for months. She was freed by Dobby along with several other prisoners in the spring of 1998, and stayed at Shell Cottage until she returned to Hogwarts to participate in the final battle of the Second Wizarding War. She should have Barrier, a special called "Summon (Patronus Charm)", another special called "Spectrespecs", Preplex and Leadership.
Summon (Patronus Charm): Give Luna Lovegood a power action, SUMMON one Patronus Charm pog next to her, maximum of one per character with this ability can be on the field under your control. If Luna Lovegood loses this ability, remove from play the Patronus Charm.
Spectrespecs: Luna Lovegood ignores Hindering terrain for line of sight.
She should have about five clicks of health and starting combat values of Movement 8, Attack 9, Defence 16, Damage 2 and Range 6 with one target. She should have the Hogwarts School team ability and the keywords Hogwarts, Ravenclaw and Mystical.

Next is the Patronus Charm pog from Harry Potter. The Patronus Charm is a charm that evokes a partially-tangible, positive energy force known as a Patronus. Patronuses are also called spirit guardians though this may only refer to corporeal Patronuses. It is primarily designed for defence against otherwise unbeatable Dark creatures like Dementors and Lethifolds, though there are other uses. It should have Phasing and "Burst of Light".
Burst of Light: Patronus Charm can use Pulse Wave as if it has a range value of 6, but it only effects characters with the monster keyword. Remove Patronus Charm from play after using this ability.
It's starting combat values should be Movement 10, Attack 10, Defence 15, Damage 2 and Range 0. The next Other section idea should be Hikaru Usada, (Rabi~en~Rose) from Di Go Charat.

Next is the Hogwarts School team ability: A character with the Hogwarts School team ability can use Enhancement, but only on other characters with the Hogwarts School team ability.

Lastly is the DreamClix Dial Designs page update news. I have updated the page three times since last week's HeroClix post. On Sunday was I updated the Capcom stuff and added the Christmas stuff, on Tuesday I added the Code Geass reboot stuff and on Thursday I started the first of four CosmicBreak update. There while be four CosmicBreak updates because as I need to edit all the dials and I am changing all the Traits to team abilities. Here are the two new dial designs and the three Team Ability pictures from the updates:

Well that is it for this week. Until next time, Mecha Up.

Neoscream's Life for the week of the 16th to the 22nd of January

Brook

Welcome to another week of my life. For those new to the blog, the "Neoscream's Life" posts are basically a weekly dairy of mine. The week before last I started playing Minecraft, but what did last week being.

On Monday I go a phone call from Marisa with good news. Atif, her husband is finally coming back to the UK after being deported over two years ago on Thursday. It will be good to see him again. I worked from 11:30AM to 1:45PM. When I got home after work I checked out Random Curiosity (which is now on the side bar with other blog feeds) and found that there was a new promotional video for Code Geass: Boukoku no Akito. I added the video to this blog with some comments. I later found out that the movies that I talked about in the post is most likely a re-telling of the story which will be a nightmare if it is just one movie. The post appeared on Facebook about half an hour after posting it. Before going to bed I listed the first half of the HeroClix figures I own on HCRealms who begin with the letter M.
Watched: Episodes 355 to 357 of One Piece.
Listened: Episodes 304 and 305 of Anime Pulse and episode 141 of Manga Pulse.
Read: Chapters 36 and 37 of One Piece.


Tuesday was a day off work as I got onto the internet Blaire went off line. Damn it, missed her. I posted last week's Neoscream's Life and updated the DreamClix Dial Designs page. After a late lunch, me and my mum went to Stony Stratford for hair cuts. I found I needed done more than I thought. Before going to bed I played some Minecraft. Mainly mining up all the coal and iron in the cave I found on Sunday. I sadly ended up getting killed one due to hidden lava behind some iron ore. Beeping Lava.
Watched: Episode 14 of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE, episode 358 of One Piece, episode 189 of the subtitled version of Naruto: Shippuden, episode 15 of Fairly Tail, episode 21 of Transformers: Prime, last week’s episode of Sherlock Holmes (the final episode of the current series) and this week’s episode of WWE Raw.

On Wednesday I worked from 11AM to 2PM. When I got home there was stuff talking about SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect Intellectual Property Act) and sure this picture. OK I might have talked about this on the Cosmic Cosplay post that will be posted after this post (but posted/wittenafter writing this), but I am finding this picture and the other one for Cosplay Deviants to be miss leading. SOPA has nothing to do censoring nudity, it is to do with Copy Right. Yes it will destroy Cosplay Deviants if they get passed, but it will be due to the Cosplay and the forums, not the nudity. To protest the whole thing, sites like Wikipedia and Minecraft's home page were out of action. I watched the six o'clock news to see what BBC news had to say about the whole SOPA, PIPA and no Wikipedia thing, but there was nothing at all.
Listened: Episode 67 of the Unofficial One Piece podcast and episode 11 of season 6 of theOtaku.com.
Read: Chapter 41 of One Piece.

On Thursday morning another draw on my chest of draws broke. The first draw broke just before Christmas and my dad had not gotten around to fixing it. Due to the supported weight of the first led to today's draw braking. I worked from 10AM to 12PM. It was meant to be a day off, but as Marisa could not work as she was picking up her husband at the airport. After work I picked up some bread at Marks and Spencer Express at the train station before catching the bus home. Before going to HeroClix I played a bit of Minecraft. I was trying to catcher some Sheep to sheer. When my dad got home later he finally had a look at the chest of draws (as I can no longer leave the draws in it) and said he would fix it on Saturday. After HeroClix I looked into building next week's team and decided to order from 13th Floor the Incredible Hulk Fast Forces set.

Runaways

On Friday morning I finished of the HeroClix MK post. I worked from 12PM to 3PM. Today was my parents wedding anniversary, but due to the leak of planning we planned on going out for a meal tomorrow.

Early Saturday morning, before I got up, my dad received a phone call from work. The night manager could not work tonight, so instead of try to find someone else to cover them, he said he would have to come in and cover their hours. This really pissed my mum off with him about it. At coffee was this week was just me, Richard and Darren. We chatted about stuff like SOPA and PIPA and went to the book shop just before I went off to work. I worked from 12PM to 3:45PM. When I git home I was told by my mum that dad had fixed the chest of draws before he left for work by gluing the runner back on with No More Nails and that it should be fine to put the draws back it. I did not do it strait away, but when I did the runners broken again. My mum phoned him and he said if that did not work, there is nothing he can do. So we ordered new one from Argos and got it to be delivered next Thursday. Before going to bed I did a lot of work on tomorrow's Cosmic Cosplay post. Also I decided to have a look at Star Trek Online.

Sunday was a normal day off work. I started the long download of Star Trek Online. I updated the DreamClix Dial Designs page. Some tidying up so I can take out the old chest of draws. It was sad to see it go as I had it all my life. I finally got around listing the second half of the Ms, Ns and Os of my HeroClix collection on HCRealms.

Cosmic Cosplay for the week of the 16th to the 22nd of January

Kitty in "Nobel"

KittyStar in "Level 1"

Hi all and welcome to another Cosmic Cosplay post. This is a weekly that happens on a Sunday or Monday were I talk about the new Cosplay Deviants sets, any Cosplay Deviants news I learn about, information about last Thursday’s CosmicBreak update and several DreamClix idea and/or designs (meanly Cosplay Deviants and character’s that been cosplayed).

First off, this week’s Cosplay Deviants sets. On Wednesday there was a new set from Kitty (not KittyStar). The set was called Noble. In it Kitty cosplays as the dark elf noble Pirotess from Record of Lodoss War. On Saturday there was an un-expected new set from KittyStar. It was un-expected as this was not one of the sets that I knew that was coming out from her. In it she Cosplays as a Mithra from Final Fantasy XI. Mithra is a female-dominant cat like humanoid race in the game, in fact they are one of the playable races. Yet another great set from the fantast KittyStar.

On Wednesday Cosplay Deviants posted on Facebook two anti-SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) posters. I’m going to be talking more about this on the next Neoscream’s Life post.

Next is the CosmicBreak news. On the main page there is a picture of two new Moe characters, however they do not appear in this week’s update, not even chibi versions. There were two new Garapons.  One of them is another new weekly Garapon and the other is a second Robo Gara. Also the Bazaar being held on Sunday 21^st January was a 25 hour long instead of 24. Sadly this post will most likely be a bit late for this event. Oh and the Root rewards have been changed again.

Now for the last section of the post, the DreamClix section. Due to the fact I have switched to have having an image based final version, I will be doing three ideas/designs. I am warring people now and again on in the HeroClix MK post (if I remember), I will be classing card images as Dial Designs and card ideas as dial ideas even tho they are not dials. This week I am doing a Cosplay cards special. I will be doing an idea for Kitty and designs for Kassandra and KittyStar.

Cosplay Card: Kitty.

HeroClix MK, the 19th of January, Trial Membership

Welcome to another HeroClix MK post. For people new to the blog the "HeroClix MK" posts is normal a weekly post with HeroClix news; what happens in my HeroClix games at  York House in Stony Stratford, Milton Keynes on Thursdays; DreamClix stuff which are fan made HeroClix; and news about updates to the DreamClix Dial Designs page.

First off is the HeroClix news for the week. This week there were previews of Captain Marvel from the Marvel: Galactic Guardians set; the U.S.S. Defiant and Regency 1 from the Star Trek: Tactics set; and Sif from the Marvel: Avengers Movies set.

This week's game was Trial Membership. 400 points, choose a character and a Named keyword it does not have. The character now has that keyword. The Team you are using must be a theme team using the keyword. No Feats or ATAs. My team was an X-Men team with Spider-Man as a trial member.

Spider-Man (001 Secret Invasion) 50
Cyclops (008 Giant Size X-Men) 100
Psylocke (023 Giant Size X-Men) 74
Cuckoo (009 Mutations and Monster) 40
Jean Grey (073 Universe) 31
Beast (010 Giant Size X-Men) 95
=400 points and four re-rolls.

On the first round I was up against Michael. His team was a Teen Titans team with Metron as a trail member. Face plan.

Metron (050 Arkham Asylum) 195
Supergirl (010 rookie Superman) 100
Kid Flash (002 Crisis) 45
Roy Harper (104 Crisis) 53
=393 points and four re-rolls.

This was a nightmare. Metron is too powerful. I needed 10s to hit him most of the time plus he can prob it and if I damage someone else, he just runs a way and heals up. I ended up losing the game. On the second round I was up against Adrian. His team was a Legion of Super Heroes team with Batman as a trail member.

Batman (001 Justice League) 75
Supergirl (010 veteran Superman) 200
Dawnstar (022 Crisis) 60
Karate Kid (024 Crisis) 63
=398 points and four re-rolls.

According to Darren this team was a nightmare too, he bearly won against it. I however found it a little easier to deal with. The Supergirl was a pain, but he kept on pushing her which made her easy to deal with. I ended up winner this game with only losing Spider-Man and Cyclops. On the third and final round I was up against Darren. His team was a Justice League International team with Red Tornado as a trail member.

Red Tornado (070 Collateral Damage) 42
Lobo (042 Superman) 169
Ice (007 75th Anniversary) 47
Blue Beetle (030 Crisis) 65
Batman (001 Justice League) 75

I did a silly mistake I this game I TKed Beast up too early which cost me the game. I forgot my Probability Controller could not see him and that Lobo had Charge. Over all Metron, I mean Michael won the day with three wins, Darren was second with two win, I was third with one win and Adrian was at last place with no wins.

Next week's game will be Strongest Out There. 500 points. Three actions. One figure must be a Hulk or a Hulk like figure. All other figures can not be over 100 points. No Feats are aloud. The Hulk or Hulk like character defence powers can not be Outwitted.

Now for this week's DreamClix section. This week I am doing ideas for a Foot Soldier Horde Token; Zeon Pilot from the original Mobile Suit Gundam; Bora from Fairy Tail; and U.E. Pilot from Mobile Suit Gundam AGE. But first here are dial designs for the Zaku II (with Machine Gun) from the original Mobile Suit Gundam; Lucy Heartfilia from Fairy Tail; a new picture version of the Jsica from Cosplay Deviants; the humanoid mode Ovv-f Gafran from Mobile Suit Gundam AGE; and pictured Kallen Kõzuki pilot card from Code Geass. Yes, with the card base stuff I am doing images version now. These are Feats, ATAs, Battlefield Conditions and Special Objects (real HeroClix cards) and Pilot, Support and Cosplay (DreamClix cards). Bystander/Horde/Summing token will still be done in the same way as standard dials. I am planning on doing the new Team Abilities like this in the future too, but these will be done in the DreamClix Dial Designs page updates then in the DreamClix sections of the HeroClix posts or the Cosmic Cosplay posts.

Next is a Foot Soldier Horde Token. This was going to be a Code Geass Horde Token, but as a lot of other Mecha shows have shown basic Infantry trying to combat They should have a M value of 3 and a Horde special ability called "Rocket Launch" or "Mortar".
Rocket Launch or Mortar: While stacked the range value gains an +2 x S. This ignores the rule of three and the range value can not be modified by any other way. When (M), Mountain Trolls treat light objects as heavy objects when attacking with an object.
Their started Combat Values should be Movement 5, Attack 9, Defence 18, Damage 1 and Range 4 with one target. The next Code Geass idea should be a Britannia Pilot card

Next is the Zeon Pilot Pilot Card from the original Mobile Suit Gundam. The Republic of Zeon was initially founded by Zeon Zum Deikun, who declared the colony located at the second Earth-Luna Lagrangian Point, named Side 3, independent from the Earth Federation in U.C. 0058. For the next several years, Zeon Zum Deikun and his followers dealt with diplomatic issues surrounding their independence, chiefly the economic pressure applied to Side 3 by the Earth Federation, in their efforts to force Side 3 back into the Federation. During this time, Side 3 formed its first national guard unit. Unfortunately, for the Republic of Zeon, Zeon Zum Deikun unexpectedly died (almost certainly assassinated by the Zabis) in U.C. 0068, leaving Side 3 without a leader. After the end of the One Year War, the Republic was re-established with a pro-Earth Federation puppet government.After Deikun's death, his advisor, Degwin Sodo Zabi, became the new leader and renamed the Republic the Principality of Zeon, changing its flag as well. Degwin rapidly expanded the colony's national guard units into a full fledged army. Mobile suits and otherunique weapons made theirfirstappearance. War was soon declared unilaterally on the Earth Federation. Outside of the armed forces ranks, Degwin Sodo Zabi is sometimes referred to as the "Sovereign of Zeon". The resulting conflict against the Federation was known as the One Year War.
Requirement: Zeon or Neon Zeon.
Special Ability: None.
Mecha Ability: None.
Team Ability: Zeon.
The next Gundam UC idea should be a Zaku II (with Bazook).

Next is the Zeon Team Ability: When a character using the Zeon team ability has two action tokens on it, it can still be given a non-free action. If you do, deal it one unavoidable damage after the action resolves. At the end of your turn, do not remove action tokens from a character that used this team ability this turn.

Next Bora from Fairy Tail. Bora is a former member of the Titan Nose guild and the first villain encountered in the series. He worked as a female slave trader, used illegal Magic and seemed to be infamously known with the epithet Bora of Prominence He should have the flight symbol, Earthbound, Energy Explosion, Telekinesis, Incapacitate, Super Senses, Shape Change and Range Combat Expert. He should have about four clicks of health and starting Combat Values of Movement 9, Attack 9, Defence 17, Damage 2 and Range 6 with one target. He should not have a Team Ability and his keywords should be Titan Nose Guild and Mystical. The next Fairy Tail idea should be Natsu Dragneel.

Next is the U.E. Pilot Pilot Card from Mobile Suit Gundam AGE. As I already talked about the U.E. two weeks ago here is the idea:
Requirement: U.E..
Special Ability: None.
Mecha Ability: None.
Team Ability: U.E..
The next Gundam AGE idea should be the AGE-1 Gundam AGE-1 Normal.

Next is the U.E. Team Ability: This character can use Willpower. Uncopyable.

Lastly is the DreamClix Dial Designs page update news. On Tuesday I added a new Bubblegum Crisis dial, altered the AD Police Team Ability, added the missing Capcom dials, added an error note of one of the Rukia Kuchiki cards (she had the wrong a Division in her keywords, it should have been 13 not 12) and added several keywords to the list. Here is the new dial:

From Sunday onwards I am change the way I am doing the DreamClix Dial Designs page updates. Instead of adding/changing five items an update each other day off work, I will be update a show every day off work up to ten adds/changes sporting the new Team Ability images. However as all that was left for Capcom on the last update was a new dial, Sunday will be both a Capcom and a Christmas update. Well that is it for this week. Until next time, Mecha Up.

Neoscream's Life for the week of the 9th to the 15th of January

Franky

Welcome to another week of my life. For those new to the blog, the "Neoscream's Life" posts are basically a weekly dairy of mine. The week before last was a One Piece Marathon, but what did last week being.

On Monday morning before going to work I had to clean up some cat sick. I worked from 11:30AM to 2:30PM. When I get home I had to clean up more cat sick and hover the living room because of it.
Watched: Episodes 348 and 349 of One Piece, episode 17 of Transformers: Prime and this week’s episode of The Gadget Show (final of the current series).
Listened: Episodes 62 and 63 of the Unofficial One Piece podcast and episode 20 of VG Pulse.

Blaire was online Tuesday morning, but I did not get time to talk to her due to group shows. I posted last week's Neoscream's Life post before heading to work. I worked from 12PM to 3PM. In the evening I started listing my HeroClix figures on HCRealms unit section as it had been long time since I had listed them and I have lostall the old lists. I manage to list all the A's, B's, and half the C's (characters beginning with the letter).
Watched: Episodes 53 to 55 of the Gadget Show Web TV, three Gadget Show web clips (Uncharted 2 Review, Behind the Scenes: The Haunting and Golden Joysticks 2009), episode 18 of Transformers Prime, episode 188 of the subtitled version of Naruto Shippuden, this week’s episode of WWE Raw, episodes 4 to 6 of Let's Play Minecraft Survival and episode 350 of One Piece.
Read: Issue 1 of Hulk: Gray and chapter 28 of One Piece.

On Wednesday morning I finished listing all the C's and decide to start playing Minecraft due to watch Ins4neGam3rs's "Lets Play" of it. Sadly I did not do much in Minecraft as I had a little problem at first as I did not know I had to hold down the left mouse button to mine the hitting it several times. As my dad is out this evening, I ordered pizza online to be delivered in the evening before going to work. I worked from 11AM to 2PM. Just before finishing work I told I now will be working tomorrow which was a day off original, plus I had to start a 8AM to clear the shake machine. Crap, I was planning on washing my uniform tomorrow, not make it more dirty than what it was. Luckily there is no HeroClix this week or it would be a super long day tomorrow. When I got home I played some Minecraft. I have made a underground hide out and starting making a building above it. I also listed all of the D's and E's of my HeroClix figures onto HCRealms.
Watched: Episode 19 of Transformers: Prime, last week’s Sherlock Homes and episodes 7 and 8 of Let's Play Minecraft Surviva.
Listened: Episode 64 of the Unofficial One Piece podcast.

On Thursday I got up at 6AM. When I left for work it was still night. As my dad did not have this Thursday off work due to a manager's meeting. I got to the building at 7:55AM, but the key holder had not turned up yet. From past experience I know he could be about five minutes late, but he did not turn up until 8:32AM. The sun finally came out when I finally got into work. I got three different stories on why he was late which I will not go into detail. At lest I got up to date writing the blog post. I finished work at 1:30PM and managed to wash the uniform when I got home. I also play a ton of Minecraft, listed F's and half G's HeroClix figures I own on HCRealms and got the DreamClix/500th post ready to post tomorrow. Blaire was on in the evening, but I was a little busy and tired so I could not chat to her much. Also the feed was too jumpy and slow to understand what she was saying most of the time. Apart from a couple of Minecraft tutorials I did not watch, read or listen to anything.

Creepers from Minecraft

On Friday morning I finished of bits of the DreamClix post I forgot about and posted it, as well as listing the second half of the G's on HCRealms. I worked from 12PM to 3PM. When I got home I play some more Minecraft and listed the H's and I's on HCRealms. I am really having a problem with Creepers and resource finding. I have tried creative mode a little, but found that it was too easy to destroy things and I found I do like going around collecting resources and making things, just do not like spending several hours hunting and ending up empty handed.
Watched: Episode 20 of Transformers: Prime.
Read: Issue 1 of Gambit and chapter 29 of One Piece.

Saturday before coffers I listed the J's on HCRealms. As when I ask Richard about what time we are meeting up for coffee and he said 10AM, but when I got to coffee I received another text from him saying he will now be at coffee at 10:30AM. Darren H turned up not long after I got my drink. As Darren H plays Minecraft as well we chatted about it while waiting for Richard. Darren gave me at idea on how to solve my problem. Set the Difficulty level to Peaceful until I am ready. Richard turned up at 10:40AM. Darren remembered to bring his Christmas gifts for people. I got the third omnibus One Piece book that covers volumes 7 to 9, while Richard got a Metallic t-shirt and a I Love Spreadsheets mug. After coffee I worked from 12PM to 2:30PM. After work I restarted Minecraft again but on Peaceful. I started building a upside-down pyramid castle, in the middle of a lake and a stink hole around the base of the building. I also wrote up tomorrows Cosmic Cosplay post so it was ready to be posted tomorrow morning before going to role-play.
Watched: This week’s episode of WWE Smackdown.

My Castle so far in Minecraft

Sunday ended up being my only day off work for the week. I posted trailer to new Facebook game that is currently in close beta sady. The game is called Marvel: Avengers Alliance. I also posted the week's Cosmic Cosplay. Just before heading to role-play, I think I have found a way to automatically update my Facebook status when a new post is added to this blog (was tested on Monday the 16th bad works, but has a delay). For awhile now I have been wanting to post links to blog posts on Facebook, but I always forget to do it manually. So an automate way will be very useful. Next I need an automatic way to post on Twitter. This week at role-play we continued on it Pete's campaign. We manage to find the man we were hired to find, but some assassins killed him before we could get to him, so now we are now looking for the stuff he has steal from the person who hired us to find him. After a couple of fights with the assassins and meeting a contact of the dead target (who dead too), we now know it is on a docket ship in Nightcity harbor. The only problem is that it is being guarded and Nathan's character is to injured to be in combat. After role-play I was showing Richard Minecraft and ended up finding a new cave in the lake were I am building my castle in with lots of coal and iron. When I got home I listed the K's and L's of my HeroClix collection on to HCRealms.
Watched: Episode 1 of season two of the IT Crowd (again) and episodes 351 to 354 of One Piece.
Listened: Episode 65 of the Unofficial One Piece podcast.
Read: Chapters 30 to 35 of One Piece (finishing volume 4).


Here is a list of posts that will be posted during the coming week:

Friday the 20th of January: "HeroClix MK".
Sunday the 22nd of January: "Cosmic Cosplay".
Tuesday the 24th of January: "Neoscream's Life".

It is currently unknow if this movie will be a retelling of the main story or what happened during the one month gap in season two *SPOILER* just before Lelouch became Emperor *END SPOILER* or a new story set after season two.

Cosmic Cosplay for the week of the 9th to the 15th of January

Megumi-Chan in "Focus"

Jsica in "Palm Tiger"

Hi all and welcome to another Cosmic Cosplay post. This week we had two new sets on Cosplay Deviants. On Wednesday there was a new set called “Focus” from the new Deviant Megumi-Chan. In it she cosplays as Oerba Dia Vanille from Final Fantasy XIII. This is the second time someone cosplays as Vanille, the first person that did it was Noel.  Ever since seeing Noel’s Vanille set, called “Incomplete”, I thought that no one could top it (a part from her somehow removing the tattoos). However Megumi-Chan’s set seemed to be a more perfect set. The custom was better and her nose seemed more right for her. She just needs the staff. However there is something about Noel’s set I still like. I think it might be the wig, I prefer the bright pink wig of Noel instead of the darker one of Megumi-Chan’s., but Megumi-Chan’s is more check. Saturday’s new set was Palm Tiger from the wonderful Jsica, or Jay Sica as she is called on Facebook. In is set she cosplays as Taiga "Palmtop Tiger" Aisaka from Toradora!. This was another fantastic set from her and it seems very high quality and to can see all the detail quite nicely. More reason she is my favourite Deviant. On Cosplay Deviants news the known sets we are waiting for are:

• Another Final Fantasy X from Jsica. Who she is cosplaying, there is no information, but I am betting on another fantastic Yuna set.
• A  Legend of Zelda from Jsica. Who she is cosplaying, there is no information, but I am betting on Gerudo Guard. It was a Cosplay she had done in past events that I forgot about.
• A HUGE shocker. Jsica as Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion. I heard somewhere the Administrator did not like the set for some reason, but luckily we are finally getting it. Hippy!
• Jsica as Princess Kitana from Mortal Kombat.
• KittyStar as Mileena from Mortal Kombat.
• A KittyStar and Jsica dream set as their above Mortal Kombat characters.
• KittyStar as Kagome Higurashi from Inu Yasha.
• Kado and Fauna as Officer Jenny and a Gijinka style Meowth  from Pokemon.
• BlackLadyBug as Death from the Sandman series.
• Porphyria as a female version of Riddler from Batman.
• Leon as Leon Scott Kennedy from Resident Evil.
• ToxicTechno as Wonder Woman from DC comics.

Oerba Dia Vanille from
Final Fantasy XIII 

Next is the CosmicBreak News. Again not much to report. There is a bunch of new weapons, a new weekly Garapon and a x2 weekend this weekend which is almost over now, sorry. However Saturday the 14^th will be another Bazaars.

Finally this week’s DreamClix section for Cosmic Cosplay. First I will be doing a dial idea of Oerba Dia Vanille from Final Fantasy XIII and a dial design of Maril March from Cosmic Break.

Oerba Dia Vanille is a playable character and the narrator in Final Fantasy XIII. She is a mysterious young girl who carries a dark past, along with a heavy burden that the others are initially unaware of. Despite facing many hardships, she remains an upbeat and caring person; though her cheerfulness is mainly a façade she uses to hide the inner guilt she has felt for over five centuries. Her full name stands for "Vanille of the Dia clan, from the village of Oerba." She should have Plasticity, Incapacitate, Super Senses, Range Combat Expert, Barrier and Probability Control. She should have about five or six clicks of health and starting combat value of Movement 9, Attack 9, Defence 18, Damage 2 and Range 8 with two targets. She should have the Final Fantasy team ability and the keywords l'Cie, Grand Pulse and Final Fantasy XIII. The next Final Fantasy idea should be Tidus from Final Fantasy X.

Well that is it for this week. Until next time, Mecha Up.
