xsilencedxdream — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 13:21:17 +0000

BattleField 1942 was released for Microsoft Windows way back in 2002 after being developed by Digital Illusions CE and published by Electronic Arts. Over the years several sequels have been released, including BattleField 2142 and Battlefield: Bad Company. Just the name suggests, BattleField 1942 tells the story of World War 2 battles or throws the player into them at least.

Games such as Call of Duty or Halo, owe their existence to BattleField 1942 for the most part. Perhaps it’s just the online gaming aspects, but the fact of the matter is that when it comes to FPS online gaming, nothing could compare to BattleField 1942 at the time. The special thing about BattleField 1942 is the multiplayer feature; let’s take a moment to talk about that.

Keanu Reeves, perhaps best known for his roles in films such as The Matrix, and Speed has recently expressed his interest in a new film that may surprise his fans. Reeves recently told MTV Movies Blog about his hopes in becoming the star of Cowboy Bebop’s live action remake of the extremely popular anime. For those of you that have no idea what Cowboy Bebop is, allow me to explain.

For some Americans, Cowboy Bebop may be the first anime series known to them seeing as it aired on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim programming way back in 1998. Aside from that, the anime series has also branched off into two different manga series, and a full-length anime movie. The series itself is based around Spike, a space bounty hunter, which is the character that Keanu Reeves hopes to play.

What Parents Need to Know About Anime

xsilencedxdream — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 09:31:59 +0000

Anime, one of the most often misunderstood art forms out there, has recently received a bad reputation from parents that don’t understand it. Most parents mistakenly assume that anime is simply some detailed form of cartoon animation, however it is far from that. Anime is in fact a term created for Japanese animation, which is younger then our American cartoons, but much more complex.

Japanese animation tends to feature various differences compared to cartoons from other parts of the world. For one, characters are often more detailed or have over exaggerated features. Anime is a limitless form of art, and thus can be created to tell a story of pretty much any genre possible. Parents themselves may come to enjoy anime, as there is basically a series for everyone.

Compare to it American movies, we have movies for every style and genre. Japanese animation is the same way, perhaps even better seeing as animated figures can do anything the imagination can create leaving humans stuck to Earth and CGI editing. The only pitfall of defining anime by it’s style, is that some choose not to have stereotypical anime features, thus things can get very confusing.
