Remembering Great Things About 2010!

Soon, 2010 will be over! There's so much to remember this year for... and I can only name a handful! These are just some of the highlights of Popculture fun and style I can remember that gave me quite a kick this year... and I'm hoping to get more excitement in the year to come as well! Here's the list, and I do hope you guys enjoy it!

Comics: BATMAN INC.

THE BEST NEW COMIC BOOK SERIES FOR 2010. After the startling changes made since Bruce Wayne's return, The Dark Knight's crusade against crime just went global... and he's building an army to help him out~! Technically, it picks up where Batman and Robin left off, and still has the main architect and writer of the series, Grant Morrison on board! It's still on the early stages, but I'm liking what I'm seeing so far, and the fact that there are TWO main Batmen made this such an appealing year for Bat fans! 2011 watch out!

Movies: INCEPTION

DEFINITELY THE MOVIE OF THE YEAR FOR ME. There are other strong contenders like "The Social Network" and "The Fighter", but this really did me in for 2010, and it has become so memorable that I have invested in so much stuff related to this film, including merchandise and the awesome musical score by composer Hans Zimmer. Director Christopher Nolan has really crafted a masterpiece that will be remembered for all time, and I can't believe the all star cast he assembled for this movie. Wild and roaring performances by Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy, and Ellen Page just add so much flare here, and I can't believe we were all taken for a ride inside what is truly the dream movie of 2010.

TV Series: The Walking Dead

BEST TV SERIES OF 2010... WITH ZOMBIES! I was literally salivating over this show when it was first announced, and when it premiered on Halloween this year, boy did it deliver big time! Robert Kirkman's seminal work of the undead has graced television with flying colors, and even with its short six episode run, its success has inspired the powers that be and AMC to green light a second season due next year! Bear in mind, anyone who enjoys zombies will enjoy this tale of desperate human survival in an undead world, and it's developed by legendary film director Frank Darabont to boot! A true must see!

Music: USHER - DJ GOT US FALLIN' IN LOVE

LAST SONG SYNDROME MUSIC OF 2010. It will continue beyond, I'm sure, and the beat is quite catchy. I hear this piece of urban flavor almost everywhere I go, and it's sure to make a buzz come the celebration tonight and more after that! Awesome is the word! Yeah Man!

Games: Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

Most enjoyable game of 2010. Nothing has kept me going back to my Playstation Portable every chance I got this year other than this game, and it's a pity that I've already finished it! True, there's replay value and plenty of CO-OPs to play with friends, but the novelty has surely worn off at this point, and a lot of us are already expecting the inevitable sequel to be made! It also borrows heavily from the Monster Hunter series, and I hope more collaborations between Konami, Hideo Kojima, and Capcom are made in the future! I look forward to more Snake tales... and hopefully ones that involve multiplayer and being on the go!

Well, there you have it so far on my end... and on a final note, another greeting to come in a bit.XD

A 2010 NBA Highlight To Remember!

I hardly watch Basketball or NBA on television, but after what my brother just shared with me, I'm inclined to believe that anything is possible... and I do mean ANYTHING. The December 29th game between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Sacramento Kings proved to be one night to remember, and this post from Yahoo! Sports! and a clip from You Tube proves that it will be a night to remember!



What an AWESOME shot and way to cap 2010! Happy New Year in advance folks, and congrats to Tyreke Evans and the Sacramento Kings!

The New Fantastic Four?

Well, this is shaping up to be a new year surprise for next year...


After the event-shattering Fantastic Four story "Three" concludes, it seems that things will be changing permanently for Marvel's First Family whether they like it or not come March... and they'll be getting new members and a reboot in the process as well. From the cover to the new series "Fantastic Four #1", it seems than Nathan Richards and Doctor Doom will be the possible new members of the team... and it also foreshadows who among the original four will bite the dust. The Human Torch and Invisible Woman, aka Johnny Storm and Susan Storm Richards, are not seen in this picture, so one of them is sure to meet their demise. I don't know who it'll be, but I have my hunch. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available, but for now, visit Marvel.com for more info and a look at the past and present of the Fantastic Four.

Happy Birthday, Stan Lee!

Woah, True Belivers! December 28 just so happened to be the birthday of one of the living legends of popculture and comics, and it's only right to send him a happy and heartfelt greeting!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STAN LEE! Here's to more Excelsior moments to come!

Holiday Hiatus!

Well, this was to be expected! I may or may not be clocking in for updates, as I'll be off for a few days to spend the holidays right and well! If ever, I hope to sign back in just before the new year ends! Until then, belated Merry Christmas to you all, and hope you have a wonderful time wherever you may be! Happy Holidays!

New Soul Calibur Is On The Way!

Hot on the heels of that new Tekken Tag Tournament 2 trailer comes another announcement from the guys over at Bandai Namco that fighting game fans are sure to be talking over! It seems that producer Katsuhiro Harada has just confirmed that a new Soul Calibur game is in the works, which was also confirmed by the new installment's director, Daishi Odashima! There are no details about the game at this point, save for the lone teaser image that accompanied the tweet of Daishi from his official Twitter page! It's good to know that a new installment is on the way, and that makes for more fighting in the stage of history! For more on the story, visit the source post over at Daishi's Twitter and Kotaku!
