Red Hulk having a Chunky Time!

January 30, 2010

Red Hulk from the Marvel Select series is my favorite friend. He follows me everywhere….but he has to eat freakin’ 10 times a day. He’s always hungry so I have to pack lots of extra meals to go!

Red Hulk loves southern comfort food but it is hard to find it up in the North. According to my little buddy, Campbell’s Chunky Chicken and Sausage Gumbo soup hits the spot…..if it’s good enough for him….I recommend it too!

January 26, 2010

Are you kicking yourself for never picking up the Marvel Legends Deadpool figure and are sobbing over your desk when you see how expensive it is on eBay and Amazon, and you’re not nearly satisfied enough with that wobbly, bow-legged excuse for a Deadpool Marvel Universe figure from the 3 3/4 inch Wolverine line, then dry your eyes, little ones, because the good folks at Diamond Select will soon be gracing us with a brand-new Deadpool Marvel Select figure!

The Marvel Select version will be about 7-8″ tall and loaded down with tons of weapons (as he should be) and there is a “unmasked” variant version for you rabid completists to sniff out.

ConsoleSource.Com Review Site

My ConsoleSource.com Review: I have been shopping with Console Source for the past year. I have ordered from within Canada and also had them ship to my sisters address in Florida, USA. In all my experience they are a great company that sells great products. They ship quickly and I have never had any problems with their support staff. They are always quick to answer your questions and stand behind their products. I was shorted shipped a SD card (had ordered two but only got one) and informed them immediately….and a replacement was shipped out without any hassles. Great Service. Nuff Said. This concludes my Console Source review. Please check them out for all your mod chip needs.

Wiikey Fusion Mod Chip For Wii

December 31, 2009

Wiikey Fusion Mod Chip For WiiThe Wiikey fusion is a brand new mod chip for Nintendo Wii by the Wiikey Team. This revolutionary mod chip will allow you to play your backup ISOs from any SD card or DVD.

The Wiikey Fusion, like all cable based modchips used a security flaw in the DVD Drive to get backups to run. The flaw was an audio debug line, that Nintendo left open. In the latest d3-2 drives that started appearing in Wiis in Europe and North America at the start of August 2009. If your DVD drive is a D3 version 2 it will not be able to play backups in disc format, but will be able to run ISOs from SD cards!

The reason we have added a tick for “any future DVD drives” is because the Wiikey Fusion is a total DVD drive emulator. In fact, you can actually take your DVD drive out if you want, and just load games from the SD card?

Wii Region Compatibility
The Wiikey Fusion works on every single region (PAL, NTSC-u, NTSC-j and KOREAN). There is a little region selector (dipswitch) on the modchip. Before installing the product you flick a switch for your region and plug in the modchip!

Wii Game Compatibility
Like all modchips from the Wiikey team, the Wiikey fusion will work with every single games from your region. There are no patches needed, no fixes to ISO, the modchip can boot any game without errors. You plug it in, and forget about it :)

Cross region compatibility is a little bit different. The Wiikey Fusion will allow 50~80% of games to work from other regions (backup or original). The % changes from 1 region to another, and is the same as any other modchip from the team.

The product will also allow Gamecube backups, and Gamecube games from other regions to work.

SD Card Slot ISO Loading, how does it work?

To be sure the Wiikey Fusion is 100% solderless, it comes with a SD card slot that you can use (you can route it to be an external slot hanging out the back of your wii). If you have a soldering Iron handy you will need to solder just 2 wires from the Wiikey Fusion to the SD Card slot on the wii if you would like to use the Wii’s own Sd card slot.

As we mentioned, its option to solder the wires, if you want to have it 100% solderless, you can still enjoy all of the features.

Anything that works through DVD, will load through the SD card slot in ISO format, including gamecube ISOs!

Wiikey Fusion Installation
Its very easy, just like the Drivekey! Open wii, disconnect the ribbon cable, plug in modchip, connect ribbon cable to modchip, close wii! The product is a fusion of the Drivekey product, and a SD card ISO loader (which is a worlds first)

FREE LIMITED TIME OFFER

All Nintendo Wii Mod Chips come with a FREE tri-wing screwdriver which normally sells for $9.95 on its own.

To take advantage of this offer simply proceed to checkout with 1 or more of the qualifying Wii Mod Chips in your cart and your FREE Tri-Wing Screwdriver will be added at the time of shipping (DO NOT ADD the Tri-Wing Screwdriver to your cart). Limit 1 free Tri-Wing Screwdriver per order. ConsoleSource.com reserves the right to modify or cancel this offer at any time.

AVATAR Sequel Possible?

December 23, 2009

We’ve already talked about the sheer scale of the mondo-hit movie Avatar, and naturally mentioned the line ot action figures that accompanies any fantasy film with this kind of success. But like every movie these days, it sounds like might be in for a second installment–and definitely not in the decades it took Cameron to conceive of and create the first one!

The GK Men blog has the story…

The popcorn has yet to be swept from the theatre isles for James Cameron’s winter blockbuster Avatar and already the director is announcing plans for sequels.

Cameron, known for his big budget franchises which include Alien and The Terminator, has told MTV he has plans for not one but two sequels for his new blue heroes.

The director, who was also responsible for the epic Titanic movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslett, told the broadcaster that sequels were always part of the plan when he set about creating his hi-tech masterpiece.

“I have a trilogy-scaled arc of story right now, but I haven’t really put any serious work into writing a script,” he said.

However, the subsequent on screen adventures will hit screens sooner than the first part of the franchise as the technology is now already in place, Cameron explained.

“My next goal is to refine the technique, make it easier so it doesn’t take as long,” he added

“We were doing a lot of pioneering work on ‘Avatar.’ It wouldn’t have taken as long if we already knew exactly how to do it.”

The Trouble with Tribbles…

November 30, 2009

To be quite honest, I didn’t get any of my Tribble-awareness from Star Trek. I first learned about the furry little creatures when I was a very young child playing the Apogee DOS game Crystal Caves. They spoofed the Trek aliens in the first game, which detailed Mylo Steamwitz’s “Troubles with Twibbles”…

From there, I would learn about the past and the exciting story of Tribbles, which are best explained by a look at the wiki:

“Fictional animals in the Star Trek universe who first appeared in the episode titled “The Trouble With Tribbles”. They are depicted as small, soft, and gentle, and as producing a soothing purring sound. These traits are said to endear them to most sentient races which encounter them, with the notable exception of Klingons, who consider tribbles to be “mortal enemies” of the Klingon Empire, as stated in the Star Trek Deep Space Nine episode “Trials and Tribble-ations”.

And now you can own a Tribble of your own, complete with that soft purring sound! Or, if you’re worried there might be trouble about, you can set it to “agitated mode”, which’ll alert you to the presence of any Klingons–you never know!

The Tribbles come in random colours and you can order the 6-inch furball right here or by clicking the pic! They’re the latest addition to the line of Star Trek accessories that already includes Phasers and Tricorders.

You can also check out a ton of figures, vehicles and sets in CmdStore’s full Star Trek toy collection.
