Pretty poisonly good

Rested and relaxed, man thats the way to feel after an awesome 3 day weekend. After the first 2 weeks of school it was nice to have that extra day off and spend some quality time with the crowd of Arkham, yes I mean the game but I also mean the Batman animated series. I just couldnt get enough of the Dark Knight after playing AA so I loaded up my netflix queue with a little Bat-action. I have seen small amounts of the show here and there, enough to know Id like it and happily I put in the first disc and was blown away. Excellent writing and voice acting (many of them are the same from AA) and the series gives AA fans a great way to learn more about not only Batman but some of the many villians he faces in the game. The first disc includes 2 eps of the Joker, 1 of Poison Ivy, 1 of Scarecrow and a few others. Any fan of the Bat, I couldnt recommend this more.

Having cake and eating it

I pretty much took my weekend easy watching anime, Batman, playing VC and AA and I had a cookout with my family. The grill had a few bacon cheddar burgers, bratwursts and hot dogs on it, all great stuff, for dessert my mom made a angel food cake with strawberry ice cream inside, I dont actually know how thats made buts damn good.

Blu-Rei II?

Labor Day weekend for some strange reason always had an abundance of sales ranging from clothes to games to movies, pretty much anything you can imagine. I took full advantage of it, going to Best Buy they had a 10 dollar off promo for buying Gladiator and Braveheart on Blu-Ray together, each disc has a 10 dollar rebate if you own them on DVD already so for the upgrade I paid a full 12 bucks for both movies!

Last but certainly not least Ive been doing some drawing this past week in school (math especially, because its so boring) and I did a drawing in my notebook, I spent quite a bit of time getting everything just right and since I love to write I organized a small poem to go with what I drew.

That's a pretty good drawing Glad you had fun on your 3 day weekend

The drawing is actually quite amazing to be honest . I can't really read the poem though..I'm gonna take a wild guess that its a picture of Asuka and the poem is about her. Right?

Sounds like a nice weekend. Pretty much the same stuff here... just did some shopping, and kicked back at home.


Gladiator and Braveheart for only $12, on Blu-ray no less?!? Great scott, I wish I had known of this! Gladiator was an excellent film.


Love the drawing man. Unfortunately, I can't read the text, whether that be my monitor or just the size.

Glad you enjoyed the weekend! It was actually the first day of school for me, so Labor day just felt like an extension of my summer vacation, giving it less value to me, unfortunately.

Glad you're enjoying the animated series! Spiderman and Batman were some of my favorites as a child - watching reruns regularly on television. I should definitely return to Gotham sometime, seeing as I would probably appreciate the lore of the Batman universe now at this time and age.

Omg, ice cream in a cake, and under the assumption that the cake was baked?! I call hax.

I couldn't take advantage of any labor day events, because Canada seems to be celebrating it as much as an alien celebrating Saint Patrick's Day in terms of commercial deals.

I have to say - that is one amazing drawing. No lie. At first, I was like, "Oh look, an Asuka-themed notebook! How cool!"

And then I was like, "OH MY GAWD HE DREW THAT, DIDN'T HE?! WOW!"

So just about everyone who does the voicework in AA is in the series too? I'm impressed, I thought the game did it really well, I'll have to check it out.

Glad you had a fun 3-day weekend! I woke up late for my English class on Tuesday (I blame the PS3 ). Btw, I never got your PSN ID! Unless you got too many IDs, same thing for one of my friends here. I find that maximum friends reached thing ridiculous though. Oh and nice drawing! Arts = win, while math = fail.

@reo: well theres nothing like Blu-ray!

@ed: thanks man!

@pharoah: hey thanks, and you are right on both accounts.

@raven: hells yeah it was a great deal on 2 great movies. Thanks, I spent a lot of time on drawing that

@hazel: well thats not all that unfortunate you had a longer summer Hells yeah I did watch the Spiderman show, for some reason Batman wasnt really on much when I was little, the show originally aired around the time I was born. Oh yeah it was all hand made, my mom is a great cook! Well that sucks but doesnt Canada have some other holiday like it? thanks glad you liked it, I spent a lot of time on that, really turned out well!

@HAVOK: yup a lot of people are the same, I dont think Ivy is but pretty much everyone else.

@neil: oh I thought you had it already its just the same except lower case: roman_irishman. Yeah that limited friends thing is kinda lame but I guess you cant have 500 close friends you talk to on a day to day basis. And thanks.

Sounds like you had quite the weekend, and Batman the Animated series does sound pretty good, I'll have to check it out. Pretty good drawing.

I don't like Batman(don't hate him) but I really like the fact that classic superheroes like him and Spidey(I like Spidey ) never die out, they're a piece of my childhood that'll live on forever. Pity we don't have sales of games here, and if we did, the prices would still be considered expensive next to prices of the USA, eBay etc... Great drawing dude, but you know what they say about Math/s, miss any part of it and you wouldn't understand s*** about the remainder, so be careful

Arkham Asylum is the best Batman game I've ever seen, and probably the best superhero game as well.

You'd think the ice cream would melt while they were baking the cake lol. I'm glad you enjoyed your bar b que.

That's an awesome deal on the Blu-ray movies, and those are some awesome movies to get.

That's a sweet drawing too. I have no artistic talent whatsoever so I'm doubly impressed.

@david: yes, do that, you like Batman, its a win. Thanks man!

@sparda: the DC/Marvel guys are timeless thats for damn sure. Thanks, but I dont have to worry, I always get good grades, schools just easy for me.

@belwyrm: it is indeed. Oh no, my mom made the cake then cut it into layers and added the ice cream inside each layer but I still dont know who it stayed up! Thanks, it took a lot of practice and time to get as good as what you saw.
