  1. Considering those fellows didn't factor in leap years, i'd say the world was suppose to end a few years ago.

    Actually leap years doesnt factor in, as the Mayan calendar is very precise in fact moreso then the Gregorian one we use.

    Same with the Hindu calendar

  2. Part of me does hope something happens, with how bad things are right now in the world somethings gotta give.

    Rather it be on this predicted day or some other day way later somethings gonna happen.

    End of the world? Maybe not

    Something big happening? Possibly

    Its the possibility that intrigues me, no one can say what will happen or what will not happen.

    Paranoia is not in my nature, if something happens I can only say:

    Bring it on

  3. Here is the way I see it... There is nothing to be left open... its not like Samurai Jack or Pirates of Dark Water where the story will never be complete. So if it ends with this I'm cool, it can be rewatched. Though... I don't see why... this is pretty much a cashcow right now. Would be silly to end it in its infancy.

    Yes but other shows like this have been killed in their prime.

  4. Well think of the following options:

    1. It's 13 episodes but then they'll announce 13 later for the Springtime (I stick with this option as many series are like this).

    Additionally, Hasbro may be considering switching over to a half season format permamently; some distributors sell seperate DVD sets for each half season instead of one set for an entire year's worth of episodes.

    I am hoping something like this is the case

  5. It was pretty obvious that it was going to be 13 episodes. I don't know where these rumours of a "second team" working on the second half of the season came from.

    Anyway added the information on the front page. For good measure, here's the link to the writer's panel where it was confirmed by the head writer.

    Yes but I did hope that it was just a rumor.

    Well if this is the final season, lets enjoy it while we can.

  6. I saw this over the weekend, and have to say that Nolan is a genius!

    I am just so amazed at this movie and the overall master work that is The Dark Knight Trilogy (Eat my butt Lord of the rings) and so I will sum up what I thought of this movie and the other two and because its probably going to be a big block of text full of spoilers so prepare for a big block of text in the following spoiler tag:

    Nolans Dark Knight saga practically had me in the first movie, now I didnt know who Nolan was at the time as I didnt see any of his movies.

    For me Batman begins is more or less a mixed bag, I like it but it does fall short compared to the latter two movies IMHO.

    But I digress, it does make a sturdy enough foundation to build upon a franchise like this.

    Begins however does fall short for one very good reason, I called most of its plot out as it deviated little from what I knew about Batmans origin story, but as a comic adaptation it does its job and does it well.

    Though the addition of Ra's Al Ghoul and scarecrow did get my attention to be sure as some people dont know much about them outside the comics and or the animated series (which I might have said is where I know Batman best from).

    Dark Knight though, different bag of noodles altogether.

    The idea of escalation introduced in the first movie is carried through excellently by the late Heath Ledger and his performance as The Joker.

    As opposed to dealing with crime bosses and secret organizations Batman is dealing with pure madness ready to tear down everything Batman worked for in Begins.

    Everything just clicked in The Dark Knight, the messages of how far things can go before you have a breaking point and the downfall of not one but two heroes.

    Each piece of The Dark Knight is a finely crafted piece of clockwork and barely skips a beat, each piece of the movie crafted to make you either feel uncomfortable with the Joker scenes, somber with the Batman/ Bruce Wayne scenes and hopeful but cautious with the Harvey Dent scenes until he becomes Two-Face.

    This is the story of the downfall of a hero, his swift plummet from a hero to criminal all due to the workings of a madman.

    The plot was very well thought out, asking questions that no other comic based movie would never ask.

    The movie is fantastic and was my favorite movie of all time until:

    The Dark Knight Rises now seems like an appropriate title, it summarizes all the thoughts of its predecessors and is the most thematically beautiful piece of the whole series and finishes off the series well.

    As soon as the movie begins you get a felling that the peace Batman fought for is chipping away, much like Begins it is very somber throughout the first bits of the movie after Banes big debut.

    But once Bane starts showing up the themes of panic an anarchy set in TDK, a sense of madness takes over everyone and the fragile peace is shattered.

    Batman himself is a reflection of the franchise as a whole, he starts off rather somber but slowly becomes more bold and breaks out.

    The whole theme of falling is both represented by Banes defeat of Batman mid movie, once more the Batman falls and has to ovcercome.

    The theme of the series was there all along, right from the beginning of Begins where Bruce fell down the well.

    The theme of the first movie Why do we fall? So we learn to pick ourselves back up again is the whole theme of the trilogy.

    Begins was the outer rim of the well, TDK was Fall into the well, and Rises was his rise from the fall.

    This is the main reason why i think this movie beats out Dark Knight for me, not for the movie alone but the whole tying in of themes from the last movies.

    Its like a fine web that Nolan has spun for us, or a beautiful painting that takes us by the hand and never lets go.

    On its own I will say that Rises is better then Begins but still not up to par with the last movie but as a finality to this incredibly awesome film series it takes the themes of the last two films and comprises them all into one nice and awesome package.

    Nolan has my deepest respect as a film maker, I will argue that he is a legitimate artist with what he does as he paints something before you and its up to you to see what he made.

    And I was right about Anne Hathaway too being this movies big surprise IMHO, she was not overly catty or slutty as most depictions of Catwoman but she did show that she was a very dynamic actress.

    My freak out point was when Banes origin story was twisted into Talia's in this case, blew me away that one.

    In any case words cannot express my feelings on this move any farther, it is made of pure awesome and I loved every minute of it.

  7. Here is an ide for a weapon I have in mind for a story I am planning to make, do give me feedback on it please

    :)

    Many weapons have come from the land of fiction, some are practical and others are just plain silly.

    Usually it's some sort of gun or sword though, from Star Treks Iconic Phaser to Star Wars lightsaber every weapon idea has been done a million times over.

    Its really hard to make an iconic weapon these days, but I have been cooking up my own weapon for a little while now.

    It is called the AutoRod, a multi purpose weapon that acts more like a Swiss army knife then a gun or a sword.

    In its initial form it looks like a nightstick, long and metallic but with a small bulb at the end.

    But when one of its modes are activated it becomes more than just some sort of billy club.

    It has 10 modes in total:

    1: Standard mode: The default mode of the AutoRod, good for knocking someone unconscious.

    2: Boomerang mode: like its namesake the user can throw the AutoRod at their opponents and it will come back to the user.

    3: Shock mode: The AutoRod is charged with energy to cause a large jolt, perfect for fighting robotic creatures.

    4: Blowtorch mode: The AutoRod becomes like a blowtorch, self explanatory.

    5: Extension mode: The AutoRod becomes a bo staff like weapon, perfect for large groups of enemies.

    6: Pulse blast mode: The AutoRod fires a kinetic energy blast meant to disperse a large group of enemies at a distance.

    7: Stun mode: The AutoRod fires a small charge meant to stun its opponent.

    8: Blade mode: The only time the AutoRod becomes a sword like weapon, intended to cut through thick armor.

    9: Tool mode: The AutoRod can become a vast array of tools, from hammers to screwdrivers and anything in between.

    10: Transmitter mode: The AutoRod becomes a signaling device, perfect for long distance communication without the use of satellites.

    As you can see its a very versatile weapon and works great in practically any situation.
