Transformers Reviews: MP-03G Ghost Starscream

You can read my original review of MP-03 Starscream here.

The MP-03G version comes with all the accessories the original Starscream did. The only difference is that this Starscream is made of mostly translucent plastic.

Lost Finale - A Big Disappointment

Mon, 24 May 2010 08:19:50 -0400

*** Warning: The following contains spoilers ***

I had big expectations for the Lost finale based on the previous episode, which, in my opinion, was possibly the best episode in the series. The previous episode told the origin story of Jacob and the Monster and I thought it set itself up for a great shocker ending but ultimately, the writers took the safe route and the story just fizzled out.

Transformers Reviews: RA-24 Buster Prime

Sun, 23 May 2010 22:33:57 -0400

I just got this guy a couple of weeks ago and I have to say he looks pretty awesome. The chrome and silver makes him look much better than the Hasbro ROTF Prime. The photo is Photoshopped to emulate a scene from the movie. His gas tanks only transform into one gun. The colours on him also look a lot more vibrant. The red is brighter and the blue is a deeper, more purplish blue. There are more flames and there is white pinstripe around the flames. He also has the mouth instead of the mouth plate. I prefer the mouth plate but I wanted this version just to have a more different version than the one I already have. There is another Japanese version that does come with the mouth plate but it's a two-pack with Jetfire and I didn't really want to get Jetfire, either. More photos to come later.

Flash Tips: Sound with AS3

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:53:06 -0400

A few months ago I switch over to Flash CS4 using AS3 and it was completely different from what I had been using before (Flash MX using AS2). I've decide to write some mini tutorials just for my own reference and maybe it will help someone else out. First, here's a tutorial for how to use sound.
