Neoscream's Life: 4th to 10th of February

MSA-003 Nemo

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. It also includes the AJ Lee news; the latest Cosplay Deviants sets and news; my "Watch, Listen and Read" lists; and a painting/converting section with 7TV teams, DreadBall Figures and Super Dungeon Explorer (SDE will replace DreadBall in soon until the second wave of KickStarter stuff arrives).

On Monday evening their was a DreadBall demo and friendlies happening at Wargames Workshop. I went to get some practice for the Tournament that will be happening on the 16th of February. I got a game with my Cyber-Tech Primers against a Forge Fathers team and won. WOW. I won my first full rules DreadBall game. Sweet.

There was an emergency podcast from Manga Entertainment UK on Thursday. After years of effect, going back to the days of the crappie 4Kids dub, they have finally acquired the UK releasing rights for the epicness that is known as One Piece. They will be releasing the first 103 episodes in four box set in this year. The first box is scheduled to be released on the 28th of May, in time for London EXPO.


Now for some AJ Lee news. First off none wrestling next. During the week there an interview with AJ was post. The topic of the interview was about Anime. Yes, AJ is an anime fan. Hippy. Her favourite is Cowboy Bebop and she likes Dragon Ball Z (but not Kai), G Gundam (hippy a Gundam series) and InuYasha (been meaning to check it out as I watch a lot of Shounen anime).

Now the AJ WWE news. It has been a quite week for AJ. She was only involved in a none televised match that  Raw on Monday the 4th of February. After Raw went off the air and John Cena stating the six man tag match against the Shield, 'good friends' Dolph Ziggler and CM Punk with Big E Langston and AJ (no Paul Heyman) at their side challenge Cena and Ryback to a match. And like the earlier House Shows, Cena and Ryback won the match. Also AJ supported Dolph in a House Show match on Saturday, Dolph lost to Chris Jericho in a No DQ match.

If you have been reading my blog posts you might already known I am a big anime fan, mainly Mecha and Shounen shows. I like to take a moment to list my five favourite animes. So in no real order, as it varies due to how I feel at the time, here is my top five:

• Evangelion (Neon Genesis and Rebuilding of). This was the first anime I brought and watched when I understand the difference between anime and cartoons.
• Mobile Suit Gundam 00. This had knocked Mobile Suit Gundam Wing off my top five as Wing does age too fast.
• Code Geass. Do to a bad preview I watch (the podcast Track-shun) I never saw the first season until the second season was airing. The preview slated it and did not show or mention the Mecha side. OK, Code Geass is more about the characters than the mecha, but seeing the mecha would have sold it to me sooner. Lucky Anime Pulse's review sold it to me.
• Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex. The original movies were good but far prefer the series as it explores the characters and world more. I really need to get a hold of the mange one of these day. There is a new anime coming out for Ghost in the Shell, but there is no information if it is linked with Standalone Complex or the original movies and what format it will be: OVA, TV show or movie.
• One Piece. The first time I saw One Piece, the 4kids dub, I do not like it. This may be due the terrible dub or the fact I was not use to the style of animation. After hearing Batou from Anime Pulse and the guys of Manga Pulse talking about One Piece and getting use to a more crazy art style from watching Soul Eater and very enjoyed it. The better dub helped.

Other notable mentions are Summer War, Ga-Rei Zero, all the Gundams (not including SD) and Kurokami (also known as Black God).

Lastly is this week's painting segment. This week I decided to do a double bill. First off is the upgraded 250 rating Silicon Robotic Empire team for 7TV. In this upgrade I have re-added the Repair Bot (Technician) that I dropped from the 200 rating team and added two Assassin Bots (Femdroids).

The plan is to add another character in the 300 rating team. It will be another Silicon Lord, but who will it be? Blackheart, or Deathlaw (not likely), or Cannon. Please remember the figure for Shen is a place holder at the moment. Next is seven more DreadBall figures. Another Orx player, the MVP Slippery Joe, four Veer-myn players and the MVP Number 88.

All the DreadBall stuff I have painted so far minus Coach AJ.

All the DreadBall stuff I have painted so far minus Coach AJ, plus the next wave of painting.

I have finally got a name for my Veer-myn team. As most people who seen them and comment about my paint job said they look like Harlequins, I decided to call them the Harlequin Hurricanes. So to re-track team names, my Corporation team is called the Cyber-Tech Primers and my Forge Fathers team the Megaton Miners. That just leaves my Marauders team that will be named when I finish painting the team. Next week's painting segment will have a the 200 rating upgraded version of my Black Knights team for 7TV.

Until next time, Armour Up.
