Champions Online

From the creators of City of Heroes now comes Champions. I started playing the game 3 days ago and haven’t really stopped playing it. Create your own hero and play in an open world community with others playing. I have created two heroes so far, one a magician name Zossa and the other Skullface. The game to me has some bugs to it like the fact that the enemies are stronger and in greater numbers then the heroes. I like to play alone and I keep running into areas that are hard to pass without teammates. Overall I will give the game 4 stars out of 5.

Tru Blood

I just finished watching the first season and am up in the air on if I like it or not. The things I don’t like about the series was the chooses of actors. I didn’t think Stephen Moyer was the right choose for the vampire. I also didn’t like Anna Paquin as Sookie, maybe it was more that I didn’t like the character.

Big Trouble in Little Chicago!

Comic-Con Chicago was a great time. Thursday night was a mellow night not to many people there. I picked up Universe X & both Paradise X trades. Also picked up two sketches from Skottie Young of Hawkeye that Russ got me and a Donald Duck I picked up for Charles.Russ was able to get his picture taken with George Preze.

Friday was a mild day more people and things to do. I personal picked up a awesome sketch of Bomb Queen by Seth Damoose. I also picked up $40 worth of comics from the Avatar booth to catch up on some books. Lori Petty was there and I was able to get my picture taken and Tank Girl DVD signed. The rest of the day was spent walking around with Dylan & Russ. I did come across this print down in artist aisle. During a smoke break someone was walking through and was yelling “’YOU’RE BEING RUDE!” to everyone. He walked up to the cops standing there and said something about all the people standing in the wrong area. The cop came over and said “What you guys can’t read. The smoking area is down there. Move down there.” In return I said “Yes Sir!” He didn’t like this and said “What you have a problem? That’s what I thought.” What a dick cop.

Saturday had a slower start to it, but was much more busier. The Suicide Girls were there and I was able to get my picture taken with the before they moved their booth. Later I picked up the new hard cover book the put out and had them sign it and take another picture with me. Walking down artist aisle was so hard this year it wasn’t funny. Without the big comic publishers there people had more time to walk around and buy art work and other things. While in artist aisle there was a group of people dressed as Green Lanterns and people taking pictures of them. One guy decides to pull out him tripod to take a photo. I waited an appropriate amount of time and walked through because he was holding up the whole aisle. I guess I ended up in the shoot and he didn’t like that. I told him to fuck off and lick my balls in the end.

That was all the excitement for this year at Comic-Con Chicago. Discussion Here.

What’s BillyGoat Been Up Too!

It has been awhile since I last posted a blog, so I thought it was time for an update for the world of BillyGoat. Dan the Manx, Maverick and I have been talking a lot on the forum, so to join us there for open discussions.

I have been also listening to The Dark Tower series on audio book. I’m on currently on the seventh book, half way through. The story of Roland, Jake, Eddie and Susannah is one of the most entertaining novel series I have read, watched on tv or movies wise.

Speaking of tv and movies I have seen Star Trek 2 times now and loved it both times. Something about how well they played with time and reality really impressed me. TV wise I can’t say much right now. The next half of Eureka started. This part of the season seems to focuse on an object from outer space heading towards the town. I also have been watched Warehouse 13 and been liking that. The one thing I will point out and complain about to the new Sci-Fi logo SyFy. Changing the name will not get you more viewers. People that watch sci-fi now are the ones that will continue to watch and people that don’t watch will not start because of a stupid name change.

Now on to video games. First up Prototype, what a fun game. Open world game made by the guys that did the Spider-Man games. Basically take Spidey, Hulk, Wolverine and other mutant powers and put them into one character and you have this game. The story is you don’t remember what happen to you and you most hunt down people and eat them to learn your past. Second up Resident Evil 5, I know old game but I’m still playing the shit out of it. I have beaten all three difficulties and only have one board left to get an S ranking on.

Finally Comics I have been reading. First Green Lantern and Blackest night. I don’t know how Geoff Jones thought this up but man he can write comics. I have desided that I will be getting a black lantern ring tattooed on my finger. Second up Dark Reign. I would like Marvel to let this one roll for about two years and then do something about it.I like having the villains running things. While talking about comics I will also be in Chicago this weekend for the convention.

Strange Killings & Strong Medicine

I just got done reading both of these books by Warren Ellis, published by Avatar.

Let me start with Strange Killings. What a nasty, crowd talking, awesome book. A prison has been taken over both the inmates so the British government sends in the S.A.S. Something they didn’t expect was inside, call William Gravel - Magician. The inmates had been turned to zombies and controlled by one man.

Now onto Strange Killings: Strong Medicine. A kid is found . Gravel is black mailed into solving a case about a decapitated and disemboweled kid. This turns into a race to catch the killer before the next kid ends up dead.
