Metro: Last Light update

Metro: Last Light is the sequel to 4a's Metro 2033. It's current release date is some time in 2013. I know that I for one am waiting patiently(well maybe not) to once again explore post apocalyptic Moscow and it's decaying metro system. I have already done a couple post's on the game(one today) and I'm sure I will be doing even more as time roll's on. If you want to look at some more info on the game you can go here or here.

Be sure to check out my last post about the Last Light live action short as well.

Metro:Last Light Live Action Short

If you haven't seen it already then take a look now. It's a great little short and I know I for one would like a to see a film about the Metro series. Can you guess who the baby is?

Detroit: The Dying Giant

Detroit is rapidly becoming a abandoned city, and if it continues it could one day be a American Pripyat in not to long. Currently to save cash they are turning out the light in certain areas to try to get all the remaining people into one area. The city is already filled with abandoned ruins from past riots as well as failed ideas and dreams. It'll be interesting to see what happens to the city in the future. Not much to say on the subject other than that but still Detroit is basically the closest thing to a PA setting here in the US.

The Judas Syndrome

This is my first ever review on the blog so I don't yet know how I'm am gonna do everything. But what I can tell you is that I won't be rating things, I'll try to give honest reviews of how I view whatever the thing is I'm reviewing. I will try to pick apart whatever it is that I am reviewing to get out the bad and the good. That being said I hope this helps people decide whether or not

So a little while ago I was contacted by Michael Poeltl to do a review of his The Judas Syndrome Trilogy. This is the first review of the first book for which the trilogy is called, The Judas Syndrome.
 The book center's around 14 collage age men and women that survive a nuclear apocalypse and are just trying to survive, while high and drunk of course. Along the way they are constantly attacked, have to deal with death of members both caused by enemies without and within. The book use's religion as a central theme for whats underlying everything, but doesn't do it in a way that goes down hard(this is what I am getting at least so far, it could be the I am wrong I'll need to read the other books to find out). If your really against religion you may or may not like the book, but I myself was able to read it without cringing(I'm a deist so ya)so I think most people will be able to as well. While I don't want to give any of the book away I will say that I found the book to be worth the read if your looking to add to your Post Apocalyptic or "PA" genre of books.

If your interested in the book here is the website for the series and I encourage you to take a look. Rebirth the second book in the series can be found here. I will be doing a review on it later on as well as the third book.

Revolution

There is gonna be a new show on NBC "Revolution".

"Our entire way of life depends on electricity. So what would happen if it just stopped working? Well, one day, like a switch turned off, the world is suddenly thrust back into the dark ages. Planes fall from the sky, hospitals shut down, and communication is impossible. And without any modern technology, who can tell us why?

Now, 15 years later, life is back to what it once was long before the industrial revolution: families living in quiet cul-de-sacs, and when the sun goes down, the lanterns and candles are lit. Life is slower and sweeter. Or is it?
On the fringes of small farming communities, danger lurks. And a young woman's life is dramatically changed when a local militia arrives and kills her father, who mysteriously - and unbeknownst to her - had something to do with the blackout. This brutal encounter sets her and two unlikely companions off on a daring coming-of-age journey to find answers about the past in the hopes of reclaiming the future.
From director Jon Favreau ("Iron Man," "Iron Man 2") and the fertile imaginations of J.J. Abrams and Eric Kripke ("Supernatural"), comes a surprising "what if" action-adventure series, where an unlikely hero will lead the world out of the dark. Literally."

It looks like it will be fairly interesting, and I'm sure that some people will tune in to watch. And if it's any good we'll have to hope it doesn't go the way of Jericho(which may be coming back on Netflix by the way). If you want more info on it check this link. And to see some of the video's here is a link to a playlist NBC has set up of them.

The show center's around all electrical devices going out, which I hope they explain with something that makes sense. One thing is though that there doesn't seem to be any modern guns, but plenty of bows and some blackpowder rifles. Kinda confusing as I don't see why no one is using modern weaponry other than maybe everyone used up all the ammo somehow and decided they couldn't make more. Still this show is interesting and I know I'll give it a go at least.

Forgotten Places

I found this posted on the PAF and thought it was pretty interesting. Basically it's Urbex or Urban Exploration(though the house isn't really urban in this) and the video itself is pretty well done. I'm by no means a expert on videography mind you. It seems to have been done in the US to my eyes as well. Anyways take a quick look.
