Countdown of Everything

I am leaving for Japan in 16 days give or take. The reason it is give or take is because I dug myself into a Visa hole that is just awesome. But this count down has become just one in a list of many that I'm excited about.

The first is movies:

Starting of with the Countdown to The Dark Knight, and if you haven't heard about this you live under a rock, and If you are not excited about it you should stay there. We are now entering a golden era of comic book movies and if you don't think so, then you haven't seen Iron Man or The Hulk yet. Lets Face it, both were awesome and Batman will be too.

Now there are two movies I'm waiting for, but not because I expect good things. Those two are the Dragonball movie Staring Justin Chatwin, and the second is Street Fighter: The legend of Chun-Li staring Kristen Kreuk. Now lets face it, the DragonBall movie has a 99% chance of being complete shit. First of all because the characters just don't have good actor representation, this is not to say that the actors that play these parts are bad, nah far from it. I can't blame anyone for being bad in a role I feel is impossible to play. Every single actor will have to prove that its possible to play the role, even if the role is small and insignificant. However Dragonball Will have excellent special effects because lets face it, CG has gotten good enough to really do any movie.
Street Fighter might suffer from simply poor writing. I mean Kristen Kreuk is hot, and should work as Chun Li. However I will be suprised if this movie is written well.

The second is games:

specifically Starcraft 2, and in addition to that Diablo 3. Blizzard has decided to come back to all the fans of the company that haven't moved on to World of Warcraft. When is either coming out? I have no idea, I don't trust release dates from Blizzard until the game is less then a month away. Both games look like perfect sequals to two already perfect series, and seem to follow the very good guidline of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Which brings me to another game: Deus Ex 3. The third sequal to this game has the tremendous responsability of being at least half as good as the first game, which means it has to be at least 20 times better then the second. But with nothing but a Teaser Trailer out so far there really isn't anything to say about it yet.

And last but not least is Street fighter 4 which looks awesome! No doubts in my mind on this one.

Oh and For you Techies, the iPhone 3G comes out on friday. Enjoy!
