Neoscream's Life for the week of the 20th to the 26th of February

Usopp after the time skip
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 was a party at Darren H's and Lisa's place, but what did last week being.

The way to work on Monday was the first field test of my new bluetooth headphones. The long hold on the power button to turn it on is a pain, but it connects to my phone really fast, it use to take half a minute to a minute with the old ones. The connection is a lot better on the new ones than the old one. The only real problem is with incoming calls run different on the new ones, but I want to test an idea out be for writing more about it. I worked from 9:50AM to 6PM when I was down to be working until 3PM. Well that is more money coming in. When double checking the time table I wad now working on Thursday, when yesterday I was told I would be off, never mind just think of the money mum mum always says. When I got home I found my DVD box sets from Play.com have arrived in the post. When I tested the laptop battery, the freezing idea did not work so now need to order a one battery.
Watched: Episode 19 of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE and WWE Elimination Chamber.
Listened: Episode 166 of Manga Pulse and episode 40 VG Pulse.
Brought and Received: The three DVD box sets I ordered last week.

On Tuesday morning I ordered three manga books and a new laptop battery. It was a pain trying to find the right type of battery for it. Doing all of this did not give me the time to post last week's Neoscream's Life post before work. When I got to work I was told I be starting at 10AM (meaning 9:50AM) instead of 11AM on Wednesday and would have Thursday off again. I worked from 9:50AM to 4:50PM. Again I was down to be working until 3PM. As I was about to leave I was told that I am now working Thursday again. WILL THEY STOP CHANGING THEIR MIND ABOUT THURSDAY. When I got home I finally posted the Neoscream's Life post and the opening to the Devil May Cry anime. All of the day I had been suffering from a soar throat.
Watched: Episodes 1 to 3 of Devil May Cry.
Listened: Episode 310 of Anime Pulse.
Brought and Received: I ordered volume 5 of Yu-Gi-Oh!: Duelist manga, volume 6 of Mobile Suit Gundam: Ecole Du Ciel mange and volume 1 of Battle Angel Alita manga.


Black Blood Brothers
On Wednesday morning I posted the opening video to Black Blood Brothers. I worked from 9:50AM to 3:30PM. When I got home I tried the do the dial Designs for Friday's HeroClix post, but found the dial generator I use on HCRealms was down. Odd. So I checked the forums and only found one post about it. It had been down all week. OK, I will try again tomorrow. When my mum got home, she had my new laptop battery. WOW that was quick. It was not the same battery as it had an odd large lump on the back of it, but it fixed perfectly. However after several hours of use, the laptop kept on over heating with it. When I put the old one back in it does not over heat. Not good. Maybe the lump is pushing it too far away from the cooling pad for it to help.
Watched: Episodes 1 to 3 of Black Blood Brothers and this week’s episode of Gadget Geeks.

On Thursday morning the dial generator was still missing so I had to change what is was doing for the DreamClix section of tomorrow HeroClix post. After being on for just over 30 minutes, two of them being on Minecraft, the laptop over heated again with the new battery (not 100% sure it was an over heat now thinking back at it  as there was no over heat warning when I turned it back on). I put the old one back in and tried finishing downloading the last 30 minutes I had left to download of Dungeons and Dragons Online, but due to all to force shut downs the laptop suffered from, I had to start again from the beginning as what I had downloaded got corrupted. That was over twenty-five hours downloading at my slow internet speed. F it, I will wait until Sunday at role-play and use Richard's super fast internet to download it. Before going to work me and my mum (who was off work) went to Maplins for advice about the battery problems. They said it was the right battery, in fact it was a better battery than the old one as in had extra storage capacity (which explains a lump) and a higher aMh. By the look of things the laptop was over heating due to it having a battery to charge and the fact that the cooling pad does not really work with the new battery. So it is best to stick with two batteries. The old one for when I am up stairs in my bedroom with the laptop plunged in to the mains and the new one while down stairs or at a friends. I worked from 11:30AM to 3PM. In the evening I went to HeroClix like normal.
WLR: Nothing.


Alite (Gunnm) for Battle Angel Alita
(Battle Angel/Gunnm)
On Friday morning I finished off and posted this week'sHeroClix MK post before work. After posting it and getting wash and dressed I rush off to work as I thought I was running late. When I got in I was shock that their was no comments of being late or to hurry up and that fact that none of the 12PM starting staff were in. As I went to clock it I noticed the time, 11:03AM. I bleeping miss judge the time. Face Palm. I went back to the staff room and worked on this blog post. I worked from 12PM to 3PM. When I got home I decided to work on the problem of no dial generator for my DreamClix stuff by making one. With a lot of thinking I decided to go for a template in Excel. I am quite happy with the result I got with it and now planning on redoing most of the old dial design with this new template.
Listened: Episodes 167 and 168 of Manga Pulse and episode 41 VG Pulse.
Read: Chapters 1 to 4 of Battle Angel Alita.
Brought and Received: Got volume 1 of Battle Angel Alita manga in the post.

Blaire was online on Saturday morning. She was doing fine. Coffee this week was me, Darren H and Richard like normal. We chatted about stuff like normal and popped into the bookshop before going to work. Richard had finally posted on Facebook the picture of my first ever cosplay I did, Cyclops from the X-Men. So I will be do a my cosplays post in the future. I worked from 11:50AM to 5:10PM. When I got home I many work on tomorrows Cosmic Cosplay post.Oh and I also posted the old trailer for Battle Angel as there was no opening for it.
Watched: The fifth Code Geass R2 Picture Drama, episode 1 of Battle Angel Alita, this week’s episode of WWE Raw and this week’s episode WWE Smackdown.
Listened: Episode 42 of Manga Pulse.


Nooooooooo, not another beep 1.
Sunday was a day off work. This week role-play was happening. It was just the four of us like normal (Pete, Nathan, Richard and me) and Pete was still GMing Cyberpunk. The amount of 1's the party were rolling was crazy. We had spent most of the money we earned from the last mission on tooling up and healed up. Our new mission is to recover some drugs the were hidden in a robotics factory. We ended the session it the middle of fighting the factory robots that are being by a group on unknown netrunners. After role-play Richard gave me a copy of Dungeons and Dragons Online before I left. It took him three hours to download it and that is while still using the internet normally. Lucky Beep, Beep, BEEP. When I got home I finished off the Cosmic Cosplay post. While in the middle of added pictures to it, someone posted a comment which reminded me I forgot a couple of things. First the comment I wrote about KittyStar's new set, Favored. I wrote it as I was still in the middle of looking at the full size version of the pictures and for got to alter it after seeing the last picture. Also I forgot to talk about the rumours of new stuff coming in the next update of Mindcraft. I will try to talk about the rumours in the next Cosmic Cosplay post. As people might have notice a little bonus at the end of the Cosmic Cosplay post, the first Bleach dial design redone in the new template. As I said on Friday's section of this post, I am going to be redoing most of the old dial designs in this template. The only ones I am not doing are the Marvel animes and IS as the are all completed shows. The new template does not have figure rank on them and a points value section but now includes a team ability symbol area. I dump figure rank as apart from unique, they are not important enough to have. Uniques will be noted it a special way (which I still need to settle with). As I do not give points values I decided that there was no need for them. As you may have notice on the new dial design of B-001 Ichigo Kurosaki, I have renamed the Bleach team ability to the Soul Reaper as a move to turn and drop the number of team abilities named after a show. This will also mean I am dropping the team ability from several characters and I might add a Hollow one too. I will be talking about the future of the DreamClix Dial Designs page updates in the HeroClix page, but below there is one more redone dial designs. You might notice a tiny change.
Listened: Episode 169 of Manga Pulse.

Cosmic Cosplay for the week of the 20th to the 26th of February

KittyStar in "Favor"
ToxicTechno in "Fool"
Hi all and welcome to another Cosmic Cosplay post. This is a weekly post that happens on a Sunday were I talk about the new Cosplay Deviants sets; any Cosplay Deviants news I learn about; information about updates for CosmicBreak, Star Trek Online and Minecraft as well as Dungeons and Dragons Online from next week (due to download problems it will not be starting this week); and three DreamClix ideas/designs.

First off is this week's new Cosplay Deviants sets. On Wednesday there was a new set from a new Deviant ToxicTechno. The set is called Fool and in it she cosplays as Misa Amane from Death Note. On Saturday there was a set from the Deviant KittyStar (I called it). The set is called Favored and in it she cosplays as Mileena from Mortal Kombat. This was yet another amazing set from the fantastic Jsica. The picture quality were amazing just like Jsica's Mortal Kombat set last week. The only thing I did not like of it is that she never took off the mask, but she was trying to stick in character with that. Cannot wait for joint KittyStar and Jsica Mortal Kombat set, which I bet will be next Saturday. I just found out this week that Jsica is quite Cosplay Deviants due to personal reason HERE. She will be greatly missed. Please keep up being active on Facebook and please keep up with the YouTube blogs as it is nice to hear from you than just reading random posts on Facebook.

Next is the CosmicBreak update news. This week there was not much to talk about. The Star Coin shop has been updated and until March 8th Crimrose will be offering double the points for all item/part exchanges.

Next is Star Trek Online update news. This week there is a new Runabout, the Yellowstone class, out in the C-Store and the third The 2800 feature episode is up called Operation Gamma. Sadly I did not get round to playing any Star Trek Online this week, so I missed episode 2 of The 2800. Nooooooooooooo.

Next is Minecraft updates. This week on Minecraft I was busy working on a house which I design part of (basement and first floor). Sadly I do not know how but it some how the save game got deleted. Nooooooooooooooo. All that 'F'ing time wasted. I am not happy.

Now for the last section of the post, the DreamClix Section. This week I am doing a dial idea for Kneesocks from Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt and Dracken from CosmicBreak. But first here is a cosplay card designs for Dryden.


Next is Kneesocks from Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt. Kneesocks is old of the main villains in the series. She is a female, red-coloured demon, with a light blue ponytail, yellow/green eyes and fangs. She is the younger of the demon sisters. Kneesocks is both Stocking's counterpart and rival. Just like her sister, Scanty, she is obsessed with rules, claiming that rules will solve the chaos of freedom. Compared to Scanty, however, Kneesocks is calmer and more reserved, but tends to fly off the handle when the rules are being disparaged. Oddly enough, she blushes quite easily, causing her face to become a lighter shade of red. Kneesocks is an intellectual that uses elaborate traps and trickery to fight against the Anarchy sisters. She has more control over her emotions and thinks things through better than her sister. She loves her sister very much, and often acts confident around her. She uses a large amount of English in her speech, even by the standards of the show. It was also implied that she and Scanty may have an incestuous relationship in "D.C. Confidential". She should have a special called "Sisters", Stealth, Charge, Blades and Toughness.
Sisters: When a friendly character named Scanty is adjacent to Kneesocks they both modify their attack values by +1 if not already modify by this Effect.
She should have about five clicks of health and starting combat values of Movement 8, Attack 9, Defence 17, Damage 2 and Range 2 with one target. She should not have a team ability and her keywords should be Daten City and Mystical. Next idea from the other section should be Zoey from Left 4 Dead.

Next is Dracken from CosmicBreak. Power is the only path to true justice. Strike down your enemies with your awesome strength! Union formed by supporters of the Ark of Strength, Dostrex. Members tend to believe in their own power over everything else, but they are also valiant warriors who will never pick fights with those weaker than themselves. Leads Dostrex with his philosophy of absolute power. Realizes that his beliefs may be different than others, but has no doubts. Usually serious, but likes to joke around on rare occasions. He should have a trait called "The Guardian of Dostrex", Charge, Super Strength, Blades, Quake, Impervious, Toughness, Leadership, Close Combat Expert, Indomitable and a special called "C.S.-chan's Upgrade" which should be the same as Lios's special of the same name but changes Dracken to his moe version instead of Lios.
The Guardian of Dostrex: All friendly characters with the Unions keyword gains a +1 to there attack value if the do not target someone of a lower points value than them.
He should have about seven clicks of health and starting combat values of Movement 8, Attack 13, Defence 17, Damage 4 and Range 4 with one target. His team abilityshould the LND one and his keywords should be Warrior, Brute, Ruler, Unions, Robot. Next CosmicBreak idea should be Swordom.

As a bonus here is a little something special I have been working on this weekend. More about it in the next Neoscream's Life post and HeroClix post.


Until next time, Mecha Up.

Openings and Endings: Battle Angel trailer



OK as there is no real opening video to this, I decided to post a trailer instead. Thanks to the Manga Pulse guys, Tim and Weltall, for introducing me to the manga. It seems great to be a great series so far. I hope a new amine will be made for it and I cannot wait until James Cameron's live action film of it is finally do. The release date for the film is currently set for 2016. Nooooooo, I have to wait four year.

HeroClix MK, the 23rd of February, Dialed Out

Welcome to another HeroClix MK. First off is the HeroClix news for the week. This week there were previews of Hulk from the Marvel: Galactic Guardians main set; Silver Surfer from the Marvel: Galactic Guardians - Annihilators Fast Forces; and another Captain America from the Marvel: Avengers Movies set.

This week game was finally Strongest There Is. 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. I decided to order the Incredibly Hulk Fast Forces set several weeks ago as I wanted to use the Hulk from that. I built a Defenders team around him who were:

Hulk (001 Fast Forces Incredible Hulk) 150
Gargoyle (004 Avengers) 58
Valkyrie (048 Sinister) 71
Angel (003 Danger Room) 50
Clea (018 Secret Invasion) 59
Ghost Rider (023 Fantastic Forces) 85
Iceman (037 Xplosion) 26
=499 points and four re-rolls.

On the first round I was up against Darren. He was using a Intelligencia themed team who were:

Humanoid (005 Incredible Hulk) 40
Red Hulk (028 Incredible Hulk) 178
2 x A.I.Marine Hulk (100 Incredible Hulk) 92 x 2 = 184
The Leader (014 Incredible Hulk) 100
=502 points and four re-rolls.

The Leader was a good figure, but Darren forgot his and Humanoid's specials, apart from the double Outwit, which cost him a little. However Red Hulk is very nasty and was the key figure the destroyed my team. I lost this game. On the second round I was up against Michael. He was using a non themed team who were:

Human Torch (051 Clobberin Time) 73
Mystique (034 Universe) 34
Captain America (001 Captain America) 89
Rampaging Hulk (062 Mutations and Monsters) 128
Scarlet Witch (026 Avengers) 72
Black Panther (106 Universe) 27
Moonstone (022 Hammer of Thor) 76
=499 points and no re-rolls.

In this game I was having problems hitting things in this game, but somehow manage to win the game. On round third and final I was up against Adrian. He was using a Fantastic Four themed team who were:

Wolverine (035 Incredible Hulk) 70
Joe Fixit (036 Incredible Hulk) 115
Storm (048 Giant Size X-Men) 86
Spider-Man (001 Secret Invasion) 50
Sue Storm (205 Fantastic Forces) 49
Black Panther (108 Universe) 46
She-Hulk (003 Fast Forces Incredible Hulk) 75
=491 points and four re-rolls.

The new Wolverine is very good compared to what it reads as, but Joe Fixer does not seem to be that good. Both Wolverine and She-Hulk destroyed my team. I ended up losting this game, but it was close at times.
Next week should be Tooled Up. 500 points, 3 actions, characters most be holding a weapon (like any Punisher) or an object that can be used as a weapon (like Secret Invasion The Thing).

Now for this week's DreamClix section. This week, due to HCRealms's Dial Generator not working all week, the only Dial Design I doing is week is a pilot card for the Britannia Pilot from Code Geass I am doing ideas for a pilot card of Jeremiah Gottwald from Code Geass, Natsu Dragneel from Fairy Tail, Cyborg Thug from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone, Quincy Rosencreutz from Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040, Brother of Ninja Murasaki from Dragon Ball and Yumichika Ayasegawa from Bleach.


Next is the pilot card of Jeremiah Gottwald from Code Geass. Jeremiah Gottwald early on is an elite Knightmare Frame pilot and a member of the Purist Faction. He attended the Imperial Colchester Institute before joining the Britannian army. He is deeply concerned with their supremacy, jumping on the chance to use Suzaku Kururugi, an Eleven (Japanese citizen) made an Honorary Britannian, as a scapegoat for both avenging Prince Clovis' death and reinforcing the Purists' superiority in Area 11. He hopes to limit military service to Purists alone. Jeremiah was a guard at the Aries Palace when Empress Marianne was assassinated, and considers the incident his biggest failure. Afterwards, he transferred to Japan, the land that had apparently taken the lives of the Empress' two children Lelouch and Nunnally, in an attempt to redeem himself. Initially, he held the rank of Margrave in Area 11's military hierarchy. After Clovis's murder, Jeremiah takes upon the role of Area 11's Acting-Consul, but upon losing Suzaku Kururugi to Zero in a very public fiasco, Jeremiah fell into disgrace, and soon into mental instability when denied the opportunity to regain his former status. After learning of Lelouch's motive for becoming Zero, he regains his sanity as well as a new-found purpose of serving Lelouch and Nunnally as an atonement for his previous failures.
Requirements: Britannia keyword.
Special Ability: Characters called Zero suffers a -1 to their defence value when the target of an attack from is character.
Mecha Ability: Siegfried. Roll a d6 at the start of your turn, on a 4, 5 or 6 this character gains a +1 to its attack value, on a 6 it gain +1 to its damage value and on a 1 it suffers a -1 to all its combat values. If this is not rolled for it suffers a -1 to all its combat values.
The next Code Geass idea should be a pilot card for a generic Black Knight Pilot.

Next is Natsu Dragneel from Fairy Tail. Natsu Dragneel, also known by the nickname "Salamander", is the main male protagonist of Fairy Tail. Aside from performing missions for his guild, Natsu travels with his partner Happy in search of Igneel, a dragon who raised Natsu in his youth before disappearing seven years prior to the start of the series. He is a Dragon Slayer, a wizard who can perform an ancient form of magic, or "Lost Magic", that grants him the physical properties of a dragon. He specialises in a particular form of this magic called Fire Dragon Slayer magic, which gives him powers such as breathing fire, emitting flames from any part of his body to attack his opponent, being physically immune to fire, and ingesting any flame besides his own for nourishment. When he consumes magical substances containing numerous elemental properties besides fire, such as lacrima infused with Etherion, Natsu is able to achieve a more powerful form of Dragon Slayer magic called "Dragon Force", which turns his skin around his eyes and on his forearms scaly, and increases both his physical and magical power. Eating any other form of magic temporarily grants Natsu the ability to combine the properties of that magic with his own (such as eating Laxus's lightning magic, which electrifies his body). However, eating any magic besides fire causes Natsu to become sick for several days after the effects of his transformation wear off. Natsu is generally carefree and reckless in nature, and causes most of the collateral damage Fairy Tail is blamed for. However, he is extremely loyal to his guildmates and attacks anyone who tries to harm or insult them. Although he comes across as thick-headed to several other characters, he is a perceptive tactician in battle and can quickly deduce his opponents' strengths and weaknesses. He suffers from motion sickness when riding on vehicles of any sort (trains, carriages, boats, etc.), as well as when carried by others. The only exception to this rule is Happy, who Natsu claims is his friend and not a "moving object". He is prone to challenging his guild's S-Class wizards to petty fights to test his strength, in which he is often defeated with little effort from his opponents. When properly motivated to fight (e.g. saving the lives of his friends) he is recognized as one of the most powerful wizards in the guild. He should have Charge, Leap Climb, Energy Explosion, Pulse Wave, Shape Change, Close Combat Expert, Toughness, Combat Reflex, a traits called "Travel Sick" and a special called "Dragon Slayer".
Travel Sick: If Natsu Dragneel is carried by a character not called Happy, place an action token on him.
Dragon Slayer: Natsu Dragneel has Invulnerability against range attack. Each time Natsu Dragneel is hit by a range attack place a
He should have about six clicks of health and starting combat values of Movement 9, Attack 10, Defence 17, Damage 2 and range 4 with one target. His team ability should be the Fairy Tail one and his keywords should be Fairy Tail Guild and Mystical. The next Fairy Tail idea should be Happy.

Next is a Cyborg Thug from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone. Many criminal organisations in Ghost in the Shell use Cyborg Thugs as hinden guards. This will be a split dial figure, one range type and one melee type. Both should have Invulnerability and Toughness. The range type should have Energy Explosion and Range Combat Expert, while the melee type should have Super Strength, Close Combat Expert and Battle Fury. They each should have about five clicks of health and starting combat values of Movement 6, Attack 10, Defence 18, Damage 3 and range 8 with two targets. Their team ability should be the Wild Card one and their keywords should be Robot and Brute. The next Ghost in the Shell idea should be a card, but type of card?

Next is Quincy Rosencreutz from Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040. The GENOM Chief Executive Officer, Quincy wishes for humans and Boomers to live together peacefully. Though suspicious of Mason's activities, he believes he can control and maintain Mason. With his body badly decayed, he uses tubes and wires to keep him alive, afraid of using more advanced implants. Mason's boomer secretary later kills him by disconnecting a vital cord in his life-support system. He shares his surname with Christian Rosenkreuz, legendary founder of the Rosicrucians. He should have a trait called "The Boomers are my Children", Mastermind, Probably Control, Perplex and Stealth.
The Boomers are my Children: You can treat the Robot keyword as if it is a Named keyword if Quincy Rosencreutz is point of you force at the beginning of the game. When Quincy Rosencreutz uses Preplex or Probably Control, he ignores line of sight and range if he targets someone with the Robot keyword.
He should have about four clicks of health and starting combat values of Movement 3, Attack 6, Defence 14, Damage 0 and range 0. He should not have a team ability and his keywords should be Robot and Ruler. The next Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040 idea should be an AD Police K-Suit.

Next is the Brother of Ninja Murasaki from Dragon Ball. Ninja Murasaki's brothers hind in the background ununtil he "activates" his clone technique, where they pose as doubles of him. They should have Stealth, about three clicks of health and starting combat values of Movement 8, Attack 8, Defence 16, Damage 1 and range 4 with one target. They should not have a team ability and their keywords should be Red Ribbon Army, Clone and Martial Artist. The next Dragon Ball idea should be Android 8.

Next is Yumichika Ayasegawa from Bleach. Yumichika is a narcissist who judges almost everyone and everything by beauty. He is also incredibly vain. Yumichika is a powerful combatant and wanted to become the third Seat of his Division, as he thought the kanji for the number three was the most beautiful. However, Ikkaku Madarame took it, so Yumichika took the fifth Seat, as he thought that the kanji for five resembled three. However, he is at times shown to be caring and helpful to others. He is extremely loyal to his friend Ikkaku, even going as far as to abandon his post at a pillar in the fake Karakura Town to try and save Ikkaku from being killed and threatening his allies who try to stop him. He cares deeply about what Ikkaku and Kenpachi think and hides the true nature of his Zanpakutō from them for fear of being hated. Despite his flamboyent nature, Yumichika has shown to be an insightful person, able to quickly pick up on a person's nature and methods. He should have a trait "Partner", Leap Climb, Blades, Steal Energy (last click), a special called "Flash Step" and Toughness.
Partner: When a friendly character named Ikkaku Madame is adjacent to Yumichika Ayasegawa they both modify their defence values by +1 if not already modified by this effect.
Flash Step: If there is an opposing character in line of sight of Yumichika Ayasegawa that has a higher points value than him, Yumichika Ayasegawa can use Hypersonic.
He should have about six clicks of health and starting combat values of Movement 9, Attack 10, Defence 18, Damage 2 and range 4 with one target. His team ability should be the Bleach one and his keywords should be Soul Reaper, Division 11 and Warrior. The next Bleach idea should be Sõken Ishida.

Lastly is the DreamClix Dial Designs page update news. This week I updated the page once. It was on Saturday, as I only worked 20 minutes that day. The update was the last of the two Cosplay Deviants updates. Here are the new things added from the update:


By the look of things the Dial Generator on HCRealms might not be returning as the generator was a third party thing. If I can not find a suitable Dial Generator, I while have to try building one in access which will take a very long time. If I have to build one myself, DreamClix will be heavily cut down until the database dial generator is built. I would be doing only three dial ideas on HeroClix MK posts, four ideas on DreamClix Special posts, one or two ideas or cosplay cards images on Cosmic Cosplay posts and no DreamClix Dial Designs page update. Well that is it for this week. Until next time, Mecha Up.

Openings and Endings: Devil May Cry anime opening

Neoscream's Life for the week of the 13th to the 19th of February

Nami after the time skip
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. Sorry about this post being a bit later than normal, I was busy ordering a laptop battery and a couple of books. The week before last I feel sick with a heavy cold, but what did last week being.

On Monday I worked from 9:50AM to 3PM. When I started work I was told that the manager had fixed the missing time in pay by clocking in for that time yesterday. When I finished work I found I had a text from Darren S about this week's HeroClix game It was going the Strongest There Is that we were meant to have done several week's ago. In the Evening I finally gotten around to order some new Bluetooth headphones. Sadly the ones I was planning on ordering ran out so I ended up buying a pair from Play.com for about £30. I also posted the second ending to Mobile Suit Gundam AGE.
Watched: Episodes 370 to 372 of One Piece and episode 18 of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE.
Listened: Episode 309 of Anime Pulse and episode 5 of the Unofficial One Piece Podcast After Dark.

On Tuesday morning I posted last week's Neoscream's Life post. I worked from 9:50AM to 1PM. I posted the twenty-fourth ending to Bleach. In the evening I get a phone call from Richard about jobs in the paper. As it I had no dates or anything on Valentines Day I decided to have a major experience grind on Star Trek Online as I was only two levels from being a Commander. It was a harder grind than I manage to do it, but I will post (have posted) more about this on Sunday's Cosmic Cosplay post. Also I have decided to not post about playing on Star Trek Online or Minecraft unless something happens.

Listened: Episodes 156 and 157 of Manga Pulse.
Read: CosmicBreak Initium.


On Wednesday morning before work I received a text message from Darren S about this week's HeroClix game changing. Due to the fact that Michael could not make it this week, we will be doing the game we were meant to be doing last week. I worked from 12PM to 3PM. After finishing work I received a text from Darren S asking for a list of past events. I replied "I'll see what I can do." In the evening I was busy getting the dials designs ready for the next DreamClix Dial Designs page update and Friday's HeroClix post. Before going to bed I checked out Play.com's £5 sale and picked up three box sets which are listed below.

On Friday morning I finished off and posted this week'sHeroClix MK post before work. I worked from 12PM to 3:30PM. While at work both Darren H and Lisa popped in for some lunch. I was planning on doing some hunting for a better job, but for some reason I never got round to in.
Watched: Episode 5 of Mobile Suit Victory Gundam and the fourth Code Geass R2 Picture Drama.
Listened: Episode 162 and 163 of Manga Pulse and episode 37 of VG Pulse. Read: Chapter 37 of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist (finishing off volume 4).

At coffee on Saturday this week was me, Darren H and Richard like normal. We chatted about stuff like normal and popped into the bookshop before going to work. I worked from 12PM to 12:20PM. Yes that is right, I only work for 20 minutes before being sent home as there was too many stuff in for how busy it was. I would have prefer to work to at about 4PM or 5PM and had Sunday off as i was working this Sunday, but I could not. As I worked less than two hour I decided to do an update on the DreamClix Dial Designs page when I get home. Also when I got home, my new Bluetooth headphones had arrived. They seem nice, but I do not have the time to really test them out as they needed to be charged first and I was out in the evening. At 7PM I went to Darren H's for Lisa's birthday party. Simon, Richard, Colette, Robin, Linda and Jamie were there and of course Darren H and Lisa. According to Simon, Lucy was coming later, midnight, due to other things she had to. Sadly me, Richard, Robin and Colette had to leave at about 11:30PM, so we all missed her. At the party, Simon started to organise a group of us to play Dungeons and Dragons Online. No dates were set as everyone apart from him needs to download it first and probably try it out. He said he will try to contact people next week to arrange a date. Also at the party Darren H help give a suggestion about a problem I have been having with my laptop. The battery life is almost nothing, five minutes max if I am lucky. The suggestion was to put in a freezer bag and freeze it. As me and Richard was about to leave Darren showed off the massive castle he built on Minecraft.
Watched: This week’s episode of WWE Smackdown.
Listened: Episode 164 of Manga Pulse.


On Sunday morning I tried downloading Dungeons and Dragons Online, but it took up so much bandwidth on my slow internet and could not do anything on the internet while it was downloading. So I put it on purse and had it running only when I was a work.  I worked from 12PM to 4PM. According to the rough time table for next week, I am off work both Thursday and Sunday. When I got home I finish off and posted the new Cosmic Cosplay post, which now includes Minecraft and from next week Dungeons and Dragons Online. After that I put my laptops battery in the freezer to see if it will restore the battery's cells.
Watched: This week’s episode of the Gadget Geeks and episode 6 of Mobile Suit Victory Gundam.
Listened: Episodes 38 and 39 of VG Pulse and episode 165 of Manga Pulse.

Cosmic Cosplay for the week of the 13th to the 19th of February

Flectching in "Gotei 13"
Jsica in "Step Daughter"
Hi all and welcome to another Cosmic Cosplay post. This is a weekly post that happens on a Sunday were I talk about the new Cosplay Deviants sets; any Cosplay Deviants news I learn about; information about updates for CosmicBreak, Star Trek Online and Minecraft (and Dungeons and Dragons Online from next) as well as a bit of progress next on them; and three DreamClix ideas/designs.

First off is this week's new Cosplay Deviants sets. On Wednesday there was a new set from a new Deviant Fletching. The set is called Gotei 13 and in it she cosplays as Rukia Kuchiki from Bleach. On Saturday there was a set from the Deviant Jsica. The set is called Step Daughter and in it she cosplays as Princess Kitana from Mortal Kombat. This was yet another amazing set from the fantastic Jsica. The picture quality was amazing again and was a huge set, over 100 pictures. Cannot wait for KittyStar's Mortal Kombat set (which I bet will be next Saturday) and their joint set of the characters too. On other Cosplay Deviants next, KittyStar has done a Bleach set with future Shy and the photographer being Jsica. In it KittyStar will be cosplaying as Orihime and Shy will be cosplaying Tatsuki. Truthfully I would have said Ichigo would be a better choose from Orihime, but I am not complaining on seeing more KittyStar. I learnt about the set from a YouTube link from KittyStar's YouTube page on Jsica's Facebook page. The video is below. Looks like it will be a great set.


Next is the CosmicBreak update news. This week there is a new Mega Garapon. It contains the long awaited Resha and Eris, as well as alternate versions of several past Moes. Both Resha and Eris sport a new Robot Type called Zero. With Zero type robots, their fighting style is determined by the cartridges you use and they can level up to level 12 (maximum level is normally 10). There is a new level up campaign where when you level up characters past level 4, you again rewards.The Rt Charge Bonus items have changed again. Until the next update there is a x2 Multiplier on UC, Experience and Drop Rate. And lastly sadly there was a Bazaar on Saturday just been.

Next is Star Trek Online update news. This week there is a new C-Store bundle available. It is a DS9 Bundle with two exclusive uniforms, "Belfast" (Defiant) bridge set, three unique Duty Officers, a Bajoran Pistol, a Bajoran Phaser Rifle and a Type-10 (Chaffee) Shuttlecraft. Also the second episode of The 2800, Of Bajor is up now to play. On Tuesday I finally got Hyniks up to a Commander. With this I picked up a new ship. It was a Heavy Escort which I called the U.S.S. Hunter-B. Also I promoted Rei, Izrei, Helen and Saara to Lieutenant Commander.

Next is a new section to the Cosmic Cosplay, Minecraft. This week on Minecraft I decided to try several restarts to fine a good location to play on.

From next week, there will be a Dungeons and Dragons Online section here, as a friend of mine, Simon, is trying to organise a group of our friends to play together on it for several hour for one day each week. Just have to download it. This will take some time with my internet connection.

Now for the last section of the post, the DreamClix Section. This week I am doing a dial idea for Albert Wesker for Resident Evil, a Cosplay Card idea for the Administer and Cosplay Card designs for Fauna.

First of is Albert Wesker for Resident Evil. Power-hungry, knowledgeable and infinitely cunning, Albert Wesker was a man who sought power and domination over the entire human race, all for his own gain. To this end, he was affiliated with the Umbrella Corporation, as one of its most promising researchers, and at the same time participated in illicit activities by going undercover as an officer in the RPD and the leader of S.T.A.R.S. in Raccoon City. Through the course of much betrayal of his allies to further his own plans, Wesker faked his death, gained superhuman powers from a Prototype virus, and worked alongside both the mysterious "Organization" and Tricell, Inc. He would eventually enact a plot, originally created by Oswell E. Spencer, to transform the human race into powerful superhumans like himself, and be a god to rule over them and a new age. Wesker was the main antagonist for much of the series, surpassing even Oswell E. Spencer. This version of him should be before he took the prototype virus/about to take it. He should have Willpower, Close Combat Expert, Shape Change and a special called "Virus".
Virus: If Albert Wesker is KO'd from taking damage from an attack and this power was on his dial before taking the damage, place RE-009b Albert Wesker on his starting line. Existing action tokens on this character are applied to the replacement.
He should have about four or five clicks of health and starting combat values of Movement 7, Attack 10, Defence 17, Damage 2 and Range 4 with one target. He should not have a team ability and his keywords should be S.T.A.R., Scientist, Spy, Martial Artist, Umbrella and Police. The next Capcom idea should be Albert Wesker after the virus reanimated him.

Next is a Cosplay Card idea for the Cosplay Deviants site Administer.
Team Ability: Cosplay Deviants and Power Cosmic.
Keywords: Cosplay and Ruler.
Special Ability: Friendly characters within eight square of this figure, not including this character, do not gain Earthbound from the Cosplay Deviants team ability.
Half cost if: The character has the Power Cosmic or Quintessence team ability.


Until next time, Mecha Up.

PS. Wednesday will be KittyStar's 22nd Birthday so HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Have a good one.

Friday 17 February 2012

HeroClix MK, the 16th of February, Astonishing Wrecks

Welcome to another HeroClix MK. First off is the HeroClix news for the week. This week there were previews of Namor from the Marvel: Galactic Guardians main set; Nova from the Marvel: Galactic Guardians - Annihilators Fast Forces box set; and Hogun from the Marvel: Avengers Movies set. Oh and I have been forgetting to state that Nova, Namor, Dr. Doom, Hulk Silver Surfer and Nova Corps Denarian from the Marvel Galactic Guardians Gravity Force set are all up on HCRealms Unit section as well as all the Star Trek: Tactics ships.

This week's game was changed again due to no Michael. It was the game we were ment to do last week. Two 600 points teams, four actions. One of heroes and one of Villains. Figures will be placed randomly on one of three 2' by 3' maps. When you select a character to give a non free action, roll a D6 for on a 4, 5 or 6 place them on a random map, but on the same square (eg 5 E) if they can be placed there. If not they do not move maps. My heroes team was based of an Astonishing X-Men team done in HCRealms. However as it was a 500 points team, I added Colossus and went for a differentShadowcat (Kitty Pride). The team was:

Cyclops (008 Giant Size X-Men) 110
Wolverine (009 Giant Size X-Men) 103
Beast (010 Giant Size X-Men) 95
Emma Frost (011 Giant Size X-Men) 81
Colossus (012 Mutations and Monsters) 158
Shadowcat (038 Sinister) 54
=601 points and four re-rolls.

For my villains team I went for the Wrecker Crew. I found that I could have done with some more points with this theme as they are very expensiv, but then again there is not enough members for a theme team at higher points unless They release Excavator, Piledrivers son. The team ended up being:

Absorbing Man (019 Mutations and Monsters) 184
Wrecker (048 Mutations and Monsters) 230 414
Thunderball (037 Armour Wars) 72 486
Bulldozer (042 Super Nova) 113
=599 points and four re-rolls.

Adrian's villains team was a Covenant team who were:

6x Jackal with Beam Rifle (008 Halo) 50 x 6 = 300
3x Jackal with Plasma Pistol (006 Halo) 54 x 3 = 162
3x Grunt with Plasma Grenade (026 Halo) 42 x 3 = 126
=588 points and four re-rolls.

Adrian's heroes team wasa Covenant team. What another Covenant team? According to Adrian the Elite decide leave the Covenant and join forces with the UNSC in Halo 3. Never me or Darren knows much about Halo, but felt that it was pushing it as they do not have the keywords the support them (apart from the duo). However as he has no other team to use we have to let it go. I did some checking afterwards and found that yes the Elite did leave the Covenant Empire, but as the only Prophet in the set was Regret and they do not have the keyword Covenant Separatists, I have a feeling the Elite in the set are meant to be villains not ever. Well anyway the team he used were:

2x Elite with Plasma Rifle (006 Halo) 69 x 2 = 138
2x Elite with Carbine (016 Halo) 84 x 2 = 168
Cloaked Elite with Carbine (033 Halo) 73
Master Chief and Arbiter (044 Halo) 200
=579 points and four re-rolls.

Darren's heroes team was an Avengers team who were:

Falcon (079 Captain America) 79
She-Hulk (007 Incredible Hulk) 105
Hercules (026 Incredible Hulk) 141
Amadeus Cho (027 Incredible Hulk) 58
Invisible Woman (057 Captain America) 110
Captain America (040 Hammer of Thor) 72
Wasp (003 Universe) 19
=579 points and four re-rolls.

Darren's villain team was a Masters of Evil team who were:

Baron Zemo (054 Captain America) 150
Tiger Shark (033 Incredible Hulk) 134
Moonstone (022 Hammer of Thor) 76
Ultron (049 Hammer of Thor) 174
Beetle (023 Sinister) 64
=598 points and four re-rolls.

One Villain team and one hero team were placed on each of the three maps. Heroes were all friendly to one and another and the same with villains until one side is KO'd (never happened). The player who scored the most victory points (not team) wins. This was a slow game, but more seemed to happen than the Baxter Building one. I manage to win somehow with my poor dice rolls, due to KOing Master Chief and Arbiter as well as a ton of Jackals. I think Adrian got second due to KOing his own figures.

Next week should be the long awaited Strongest There Is. 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. This is if Michael comes.

Now for this week's DreamClix section. This week I am doing ideas for a pilot card if Lelouch from Code Geass, Char Aznable from the original Mobile Suit Gundam, Criminal Mastermind from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone and Lizard Grunt from Thundercats. But first the Infantry Horde Token from the mecha shows, Panty Anarchy from Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt, MS-06 Zaku II (with Bazooka) from the original Mobile Suit Gundam and Hirokazu Ukita from Death Note.


Next is the pilot card for Lelouch from Code Geass. Lelouch vi Britannia is the protagonist and antihero of Lelouch of the Rebellion, 17 years old (18 at R2). After he was exiled he used the alias, Lelouch Lamperouge. He is the Eleventh Prince of the Holy Britannian Empire and the son of the 98th Emperor of Britannia, Charles zi Britannia. He is the leader of the Black Knights which makes him the real identity of Zero. Lelouch was born on December 5, 1999 a.t.b. as Lelouch vi Britannia the son of the Emperor of Britannia, Charles zi Britannia, and the late Imperial Consort Marianne, making Lelouch the Eleventh Prince of the Holy Britannian Empire. He was in line to be the seventeenth heir to the throne prior to his mother's assassination and his sister's crippling in the same incident. A ten year old Lelouch confronted the Emperor afterward and accused him of leaving his mother defenseless, even going as far as renouncing his entitlement to the throne. In response, his father banished him to Japan, where he was used as a political hostage in the Sakuradite conflict. It was during his stay at the Kururugi household that he first met Suzaku Kururugi, with whom the young Lelouch did not interact initially in a friendly manner, before later becoming friends. However, when Britannia finally developed its Knightmare Frames fleet and decided to invade Japan to seize control of the Sakuradite mines, consequently discarding Lelouch's use as a diplomatic tool, Lelouch, fearing for his and his sister's safety, hid their true identities and sought the help of the Ashford family, who were his mother's allies. His mother's death and his father's apparent lack of concern in regards to it were huge blows to Lelouch. He always felt that it was unfair for both his mother and sister, and therefore made it his goal to pursue a better world for Nunnally. He also seeks to discover the true reason for his mother's death, as she was murdered in the Aries Imperial Palace, a place terrorists would be unlikely to penetrate successfully without being noticed, if at all. This card represents him before becoming Zero.
Requirement: None.
Special Ability: This character can use Stealth, Perplex and Probability Control, but suffers a -1 to all combat values. This character does not need to drew line of sight if he is not attacking. Also this Character gains the Geass keyword even if this ability is Outwitted.
Mecha Ability: Sutherland. This character can use Shape Change and this character does not need to drew line of sight if it is not attacking.
The next Code Geass idea should be a pilot card of Jeremiah Gottwald.

Next is the pilot card for Char Aznable from the original Mobile Suit Gundam. Universal Century timeline of the Gundam franchise. He is originally one of the main antagonists in Mobile Suit Gundam and later becomes one of the protagonists of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. In his final appearance in Char's Counterattack, he assumes leadership of the Neo Zeon movement, named after his father Zeon Zum Deikun, and becomes the titular antagonist of the film. Throughout his life, he is also known by the aliases Edward Mass and Quattro Bajeena. In addition, he is given the nom de guerre of "The Red Comet", for his performance at the Battle of Loum during the One Year War.
Requirement: Zeon.
Special Ability: This character gains a +1 to its Attack combat value.
Mecha Ability: MS-06 Zaku II Command Type, MS-09 Rick Don, MSM-07 Z'Gok Command Type, MS-14 Gelgoog Command Type and MSN-02 Zeong. This character replaces its Movement combat value with one three higher and can use the Transporter ability.
The next Gundam UC idea should be the RX-78-2 Gundam.

Next is Criminal Mastermind from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone. They should have Mastermind, Leadership, Probability Control, Stealth and a special called "Hacker".
Hacker: Criminal Mastermind can use Perplex twice
or use Outwit. When using Perplex you must target two different characters and can not target them self.
They should have five or six clicks of health and starting combat values of Movement 7, Attack 9, Defence 18, Damage 2 and range 5 with two targets. Their team ability should be the Wild Card one and they should not have any keywords. The next Ghost in the Shell idea should be a Cyborg Thug generic.

Next is Lizard Grunt generic from Thundercats. Lizards are one of several sapient species on Third Earth. Lizards inhabited marginal areas and often came into conflict with the Cats, which held military superiority over them, until they aquired access to advance military technology from Mumm-Ra and Grune. In Legacy, it was shown that the Lizards were slaves of Mumm-Ra in the past alongside the Jackals, Monkeys, humanoid vultures, humanoid elephants, and the TigerSharks. Lizard's civilization is considered to be (in terms of cats) primitive. Lizards were obviously inferior -in cultural and progress terms - to Thundercats for a long time. This is clearly seen at the first phase of the battle for Thunderia. The lizard's army, compared to Thunderia Royal Army was armed with primitive dinosaurs with spears, axes and clubs, had almost no metal armor, and was poorly organized. The situation changed after the conclusion of an alliance between lizards and Mumm-Ra. Lizards have access to advanced military and civilian technology, and managed to create a strong industrial base (in particular, the huge Cloud Peak Mine mining complex). It is clear that new technologies have not yet become part of the lizard's culture , and, apparently, only available to very few. Symbolic elements (such as an amulet on the Slithe chest) indicate that their perception of the world is still quite traditional. They should have a minion power that gives the Leap Climb and Range Combat Expert. They should and about four clicks of health and starting combat values of Movement 9, Attack 9, Defence 16, Damage 1 and Range 5 with one target. Their team ability should be the Minions of Mumm-Ra one and their keywords should be Mumm-Ra's Horde and Animal. The next Thundercats idea should be Grune.

Lastly is the DreamClix Dial Designs page update news. This week I updated the page twice. The first update was on Sunday was the final of the four CosmicBreak updates and the second update was on Thursday and was the first of two Cosplay Deviants updates. Here are the new dial designs and team ability images from the updates:


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