NEW on DVD from SHOUT! Factory and Hasbro/Takara is Transformers: Cybertron, one of the largest installments of the post 80’s Transformers.

In Transformers: Cybertron, the Autobots are trying to find keys that will stop a black hole from swallowing up their home planet; all-the-while, the Decepticons are trying to get the keys for themselves in order to rule.

Many different characters join in on this story; however, Megatron becoming Galvatron is kind of cool. Starscream fans will get all they could ever want—however, all that is missing is the scene from the 80’s movie were Galvatron turns him to dust!…

They were on the top of the Nitrino building at 11pm; it was pretty cold and windy at this height. A helicopter was flying around and the fight bystanders were near the edges of the rooftop—cameras in hand. Lili was with her as Asuka prepared for her fight with Nina Williams.

Asuka wore the same red vinyl version of her bodysuit with black faux leather inlays. Her gauntlets and boots matched the one piece outfit which she had zipped above the black nylon belt to cover the mark of the “Golden Devil.” Asuka looked at her arms and thighs to make …

New on DVD from SHOUT! Factory and Hasbro is Transformers Animated: The Complete Series. Spanning 6 DVD’s holding 42 episodes of what I feel is the best version of Transformers lore since the original 80’s cartoon.

Transformers Animated has taken a lot of flak for being cartoony and almost childish—the exclusion of guns over melee and other gripes here and there. What people are missing is the beautiful HAND DRAWN artwork and animation, the interesting story that unfolds throughout the entire series and seeing their favorite characters depicted in a more unconventional way.

The stand out episode comes from Season …

Recently, we at NERDSociety.com have been contacted by representatives of Hess about helping with getting the Hess Toy Truck into the National Toy Hall of Fame; this was an issue that could not be ignored, for the Hess Toy Truck is an icon and it must be a part of this kind of history.  As many of us writers are fans and collectors of toys, the Hess Truck was a no brainer, it has to be a part of the National toy Hall of Fame.

So please, dear reader, continue on with the interview and read why this is such an …

This collection belonged to my Dad whom passed away in 2006.
Technically it now belongs to me, but the fact that I was the one who bought some of them for him and the others he got himself; it’s not truly mine.

I think a lot of people wonder what will happen to their collection after they are gone. (I do every time I look at mine…) Would someone sell it? Get it ruined because they don’t care? OR, would they keep it as their own.

I have chosen for more than one reason to keep it as my own. 1. …

An official promotional poster from Japan for Tekken 5 featuring Asuka Kazama.  A very fitting first image.

In 2013 I wrote a 27 part Fan Fiction on the Anime series K-ON! Now it’s time for another—yet shorter Fan Fiction on another Japanese-made interest of mine; that being the video game Tekken.
I tried to choose characters that would bring interest to all readers; however, it is my story, so I have chosen the main character to be my favorite, which is Asuka Kazama. (Ah’s-ka Kah-zah-ma). I find using her in the game to be easy because she has the best balance …

The ultimate X-Men ensemble film is here at last, and with so much ridding on it everyone is understandably curious as to how Singer and company were able to handle a massive cast of characters, two separate time lines, developing the stories of the old & new cast while giving the former a proper swan song and the later a new playground to build future movies out of. With so many things to tackle in a little over two hours, many (myself included) expected a repeat of the Amazing Spider-Man 2, what we get instead is one of the most well …

Let’s face it, aging can be frightening, however it creeps into our lives so gradually, we hardly recognize it.  Until that awakening moment we meet each other in the mirror that once reflected that insatiable beauty of our youth.  During our youth, we may be unable to detect the envy of those older than us, of our fearless outtake on life.   In this short film, Vienna Waits For You, directed by Dominik Hartl, may bring to life that what we may perceive, as things that possess our future.  Those possessions that reoccur in our lives, in which others may …
