Greg Hastings Paintball 2!!!

What do you get when you combine Paintball with a video game? you get the video game Greg Hastings Paintball 2!!!!!! Do NOT ask about it's prequel as I know NOTHING about it.



Greg Hastings is, according to Nintendo, the most famous name in Paintball. I have no knowledge about him other than that because of Wikipedia not having anything about him. But yet again, Wikipedia does not have anything about Pirate101, so it stands to reason that Wikipedia needs more informative information sources. Like the official website. Or the best gamer in the world's blog. Okay, I'm not the best gamer. I never beaten the Sonic the Hedgehog game (2006 version).


Anyway, the game has a variety of game modes, and plenty of Paintball Arenas to match. What's cool is that the arenas exist in real life, also as Paintball Arenas. You get all sorts of paintball weapons. No, there is no Paintball sword. But want to know what is cooler than a Paintball sword? Paintball Grenades!!! No, not real grenades. These grenades are just water balloons filled with paint. When they land, BOOM!!!!! And this time the BOOM needs to be said!!! The balloon explodes in a large cloud of paint!!! The BOOM strikes again!!! Another cool thing cooler than a Paintball sword is that you can give orders to the teammates (assuming you are using the Teams feature.) You can have one guy scout ahead. You can have a guy laying on his stomach, ready to take down enemies one by one as a sniper. You can have two guys guard the rear of the rest of the team. You can make the whole team split up and do a classic Search-and-Destroy task. You can have the team open or cease fire (by fire, I mean shooting term). I can name a dozen uses for your teammates.

Greg Hastings Paintball 2
This is what the game's
box looks like


The game is also completely in first person. That means that you look through the eyes of the mask of your character. You can also swap from three positions. Standing, for open firefights. Crouching, for opening fire from cover. And last but not least, laying down on you stomach, for sniping. You can use the environment to your ADVANTAGE!!!!!!!! BOOM!!!!!! What I mean is, say you are playing the game and the enemies has you and your Paintball team pinned down (metaphorically). You see there is a nearby wall leading to an exit. Get behind the wall and you are safe from Enemy fire!!!! At least until they move in for a finisher. At that point you make your escape. But if that wall wasn't in that scenario, where would your character be? Soaked in paint, that's where he would be. Hiding behind cover will make the cover take the hits for you. BOOM!!!!!!!!


NOTE: Image from Nintendo.com.


The game also has unpredictable weather. It might rain in the middle of a game, it might be 90 degrees hot outside. It might be foggy and mess up your vison, and in turn, making the match harder. It might be muddy and slippery, and possibly messing up your shots. So you must be careful during said weather. But the game is still fun.

The Amazing Spider-Man!!!!!!!!

I have the Amazing Spider-Man 2012 video game!!!!!!! It is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The game takes place after the movie, also 2012 edition. Here's the plot (I also beaten the game!!!!! Achievement BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).
 The game starts with Peter Parker (this level is briefly seen though Peter's perspective) and Gwen Stacey "investigating" the Oscorp Bio Labs during the after hours (By investigating, I mean they were sneaking in). After a while, Gwen reveals that she believes that Oscorp is continuing Dr. Conners' (A.K.A. The Lizard) work on Cross Species Genetics. Later, when the two are in the next corridor, Peter gets to see one of the Hunter bots that Alistair Smithe, director of Oscorp, has been working on. After a brief conversation on Alistair's work on robot tech, they see two security guards escorting a Cross Species, the Rhino,  to his cell. When Peter passes by, the Rhino goes berserk and charges at Peter. Now both Peter and Gwen would be pancakes if it wasn't for the fact that the hall the Rhino was in was cut off from the rest of the corridor by a force field. Alistair Smithe himself appears, asks if Peter and Gwen are okay, gives them a tour after Peter explains that he wanted to see the Nano Labs (Like the Bio Labs but the Nano Labs, as I call it, specialize in Nano tech). The three then get to see another Cross-Species, called Vermin. By now Alistair reveals that ALL the Cross-Species carry Cross-Species Virus, and they are going to be terminated. A single bite leads to infection, infection leads to becoming a Cross-Species yourself. Vermin starts acting strangely, like how the Rhino acted earlier. Peter then sees another Cross-Species, the Iguana, and remarks that "This is the strangest office tour I've ever been on". That's exactly what Peter said. Anyway, an Oscorp Scientist needs someone with A-Class authority to take another Cross-Species, The Scorpion, to the disposal chamber. The Scorpion is laying lifelessly in a containment carrier. But when Peter and Gwen escort the carrier, BOOM!!!!! The Scorpion springs to life and goes berserk. A security guard evacuates the faculty and BOOM!!!!! ALL of the Cross-Species escape. Vermin walks over, grabs Gwen, smacks her against the wall, and bites her on the shoulder. Now let's not forget that a bite from a Cross-Species will either kill you or turn you into a Cross-Species. The Camera finally switches back to normal and the player can finally play as Spider-Man. Spider-Man saves Gwen from falling off a broken bridge (Vermin threw her up there after biting her) by using WEB RUSH!!!!! The player now has to make Spider-Man carry Gwen to the Quarantine chamber, which is a run, Web Swing, bot smack down, and Web Rush away from the Bio Labs. After that, Spidey gives chase to the Iguana, who stopped rampaging when he reached Central Park. But before Parker can give him the smack-down he needs. S-01 Appears. S-01 attacks Spidey, who has to fight the gigantic metal menace. After that. Peter goes to prison to break out Dr. Conners so he can make an antidote to Cross-Species Virus. Things get out of hand at the prison when a guard tries to shoot Spider-Man with a gun. the bullet hits the computer console that controls the cell doors and the Emergency Unlock activates. That means the prisoners are free to leave the prison. Spidey keeps some of the prisoners from escaping, but most of them did escape. In order to start working on the serum, Peter needs to retrieve some old research, which Oscorp is in the process of disposing. After a while, Peter meets a news reporter named Whitney Chang, also wanting Curt's data. But she wants it to prove that Oscorp created the Cross-Species Virus that is infecting the Subway Train Stations and sewer systems, and is coming close to infecting the surface. Parker successfully got the research. Now to complete it, he is going to need a piece of DNA tissue from any of the Cross-Species. Spidey tracks down Vermin (who went into hiding in the sewers) and after going toe-to-toe and web-to-laser with a Hunter, manages to find him. Vermin by now is fighting a squad unit of Sentries (which are smaller, flightless versions of the Hunter Bots). Peter then fights and defeats Vermin, all while collecting a bottle of blood. Let's not forget that blood equals DNA, and Vermin's DNA is what Conners needs to complete the antidote. Peter returns to Oscorp Tower, which is, by now, swarming with security, swarming with Sentries (white ones. The ones encountered in the sewers were black) and slime is everywhere. After a while, Peter reaches the surviving scientists (The Cross-Species Virus takes a long while to fully consume the victim.) and gives the antidote. Smithe however, doubts the serum will work and tests it on himself. It did nothing but make him insane and disabled BOTH of his legs. While leaving, Spidey fights the Scorpion (who stayed in the building, unlike the others.). After leaving, Peter starts to believe that Conners did it on purpose. but before he could get back to Spider-Man's apartment (No he does not live there, he is house-sitting for his friend Stan), BOOM!!!!!! S-02 bursts out of nowhere and Peter has to fight it. Peter defeats the Mechanical Snake (tendrils ending in claws ring around the neck). Peter, battle scarred, blames Conners for the first serum not working. but Conners replies that he done the best he could. When Peter rests up, we can hear Conners wondering why Peter has not been infected by the Cross-Species Virus. He then realizes that Spider-Man is, in fact, the perfect Cross-Species, as he can wall crawl, has Spider-Sense, and his inhuman agility and strength, but has not been consumed by the spider within. And since Parker is bleeding from wounds from both the Scorpion AND S-02 boss fights, Curt Conners uses Peter Parker's blood to make a PERFECT antidote. One that cures the virus and has NO side effects. Spider-Man returns to Oscorp Tower for the third and final time and after solving a series of puzzles and neutralizing guards, gives the antidote to the scientists. But Gwen is no longer in Quarantine chamber. A completely insane Alistair Smithe tried to test out his "cure" on Gwen. The cure was NOT a cure. It was a nanobot poison that kills the victim from the inside out. Gwen managed to escape and reprogram a Hunter bot to help Peter out with the total chaos New York is in. But the infection level in her rocketed, leading to exhaustion and later, lost of consciousness. Spidey finds her after going through the air ventilation system. Gwen gets the cure in time. After helping Gwen get to the elevator, Spidey has to rescue a kidnapped D. Conners. Curt has been abducted by Alistair, who is still insane, crippled, and still has his infection level rising within him. High infection level = Closer chances of becoming a Cross-Species. But while Conners runs to The Lizard's lab in the sewer system, Alistair injects his "cure" into Peter, now powerless. When Smithe unleashes his ultimate Robot, S-03, Conners and Gwen argue on what to do. Conners decides that the Lizard is the only one that can save the city, as the powers of the Lizard are just enough to defeat S-03. Gwen, after using the shock devices that they use to deliver a shock through the body that wakes up unconsciousness civilians, discovers that in order for Peter to regain his powers, he needs to short circuit the nanobots in his bloodstream. That means he has to electrocute himself. And lucky Peter, The Lizard (Conners is in control at the moment because their is a time window when Curt is in control) shoves him in the power core for Parker's own protection. After a nice long zap, Spidey and the Lizard fight Alistair, who is manually controlling the massive scorpion like robot. After taking out two nanobot containers (S-03 is supposed to spread the nanobot "cure" over all of New York), Alistair deploys Exo-Suit 01 to kill The Lizard and Spider-Man. Just like S-03, Exo-Suit 01 has to be manually piloted. After beating the four armed robot, Conners' time window closes. That means the Lizard is in control. Spider-Man hunts down the Lizard after helping Alistair realize the error of his ways (he is no longer insane) and with help from that reprogrammed Hunter bot finds the Lizard. After collecting the antidote from the remains of the Hunter (which was smashed during the boss fight), The Lizard brings Peter deeper into the sewer. The water is up to Peter's waist. Get out of there A.S.A.P. Why? because the final Cross-Species, the only one with no name (but I call him Fisherman, because he is half man half fish), his buddies will chase you down there. But the Lizard pulls you out and you fight him is a large circle shaped room in the sewers. After a while Parker sneaks the booster shot with the antidote behind the Lizard's defense, and stab him in the neck with it. Curt's back to normal, and goes back to prison (Conners wanted to go back to prison. He made Spidey promise to take him back to prison once the events of the game are over). Then you beat the game!!!!

But there's one last thing missing in the achievement of beating the game. And here IT COMES!!!!!!! INFINITY BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


BOSS BATTLES
Welcome to BOSS BATTLES!!! Here we have a guide to beating the game bosses!
  • S-01 - Smash the red dots on the torso and head. Smash the red dot on the tail. Use Web Rush to get in it's eyes. Punch the eyes while dodging the laser beams shot from the eyes and mouth. Use Web Shoot to jam up the knee joints to keep it still long enough to use Web Rush on it's head. Spidey will force it to open it's mouth and make it eat a missile, causing it to explode from the inside out.
  • Vermin, Scorpion, and The Iguana - All have the same battle strategy. Just hit them as many times as you can, avoid the attacks, repeat. They will fall after a while.
  • The Rhino - First Round - Same as above. Second Round - Trap Rhino in a web when he charges. Use Web Rush to throw him into an electric generator. Repeat three times.
  • S-02 - Wii: Throw Sentries at it when it deploys them. Use Web Rush to run up it's snake-like body and blind it by shooting webs in it's eyes. Use Web Rush to rescue a captive scientist. Repeat three times. Use Web rush on a nearby radio antenna to make Spidey shove in it's center eye. I have seen that the PS3 version of the fight is very different.
  • Alistair (Exo-Suit 01) & S-03 - Smash the Sentries. Use Web Rush to help the Lizard force open one of two doors. Spidey will Web Swing around the robot and rip off the Nanobot containers. Do this two times. When the Exo-Suit 01  attacks, he shoots you with all four machine guns, stopping every once in a while to reload. Get behind him and use Web Rush to pin him down while the Lizard scratches him up with claws. Avoid the robot's attack when he decides to hit you. Do this twice. The second time, however, requires you to force open the cockpit. after this you win.
  • The Lizard - keep hitting him with normal attacks while avoiding his attacks. When he starts back-flipping and side-somersaulting away from you, Use Web Rush to glue him to a wall. Then Use Web Rush to dig through the remains of the Hunter. Repeat as many times as needed until you get the Booster Shot. When you are in the water filled tunnel get out of there ASAP. When you are in the large circle shaped sewer room, Web Rush to any one of the four platforms. Wait for the Lizard to come to you. When he circles you, but doesn't lower his hands, try to punch him. The Lizard will block and try a three hit combo. If you don't do this, he will grab you by the neck and throw you. But if he does lower his hands, you can do a three hit combo yourself. Repeat two times. When you see Spider-Man stab the Lizard with the Booster Shot, you beat the game.

Marvel Avengers: Battle For Earth

My previous post was on Stan Lee. This post is on a video game that was based off of the comics.


If you are a comic book and video game fan, like me, you would know what the Skrulls are. If you don't, A Skrull is a shape shifting alien capable of mimicking any super heroes' powers (although the Super Skrull can use several different powers all at the same time.). In the Avengers TV show, The Skrulls try to take over the world because they believe they are the rightful owners of Earth, using their shape-shifting powers to infiltrate the biggest organizations on the planet. They can copy your appearance, voice, physical abilities, personality and even you memories. The only hard part for them is kidnapping the person they are copying and taking them prisoner on their flagship (which I guess is too far away to see in space like the ship is hiding in the shadows. Like a Crocodile sneaking around in the water, waiting for something to come too close to the water's edge.). The game focus' during the Skrulls' "Secret Invasion".



Here's a List of some of the 20 playable characters that I know of.
  • Captain America - Can't have an Avengers Super Hero Game without the very first Avenger! A shield made of Vibraniom (fictional metal), Enhanced abilities, and Kung Fu make Captain America the supremely awesome super soldier he is!
  • Spider-Man - Spider-Man is back! After his latest appearance in the video game The Amazing Spider-Man (2012), Spider-Man swings into action! See what I did there? I used the word "swing" because Spider-Man has a web swing. BOOM!!!!
  • Venom - When there's Spider-Man, there's Venom! Edward Brock Jr. got his hands on ALIEN SYMBIOTE!!!!!!!!!!!! You know.....Because Eddie merged with ALIEN SYMBIOTE, and the results resulted in creating Venom. DOUBLE BOOM!!!!!! Anyway, Venom's got new ways to attack with his Tendrils.
  • Super Skrull - Yes the Super Skrull mentioned in the parentheses in the paragraph above is playable. He's restricted to use only the Fantastic Four's powers though. Super Skrull also has a cool SUPER ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!!! He launches the foe high into the air, and punches them in the face repeatedly until they both land. Yet again, ALL characters can do that. Hulk, Thor, and Captain America smash the foe against the ground after landing. Loki, Magneto, Phoenix, Dr. Doom, and Dr. Strange shoot projectiles at the foe instead of launching them with Hand to Hand combat.
  • Wolverine - What do you get when you mix a mutant that can make claws come out of his knuckles, Adamantiom bones, and a LOT of attitude? You get Wolverine!!!! BOOM!!!!! Anyway, he has lightning fast attacks. Doesn't the phrases "Fast as Lightning" and "Kung Fu Fighting" make you think of a song? I have to look up that Kung Fu Fighting song. Wolverine is still awesome though.
  • Dr. Strange - The Sorcerer Supreme is here!!! Dr. Strange is a wizard. Yeah, that's right. The kind that guides heroes on some epic quest, but still has the ability to make bizarre things happen. Like making swords appear out of thin air.  Since some of you never heard of him, here's his back story made short. Medical Dr. Strange got in a car accident and broke both of his hands. He went to freezing cold mountains because the old Sorcerer Supreme said he could heal his hands should he go there. The Sorcerer Supreme taught wizardry to him. Quite simple. In order for magic to work, you just need to believe in yourself and believe the task is easy. Now he protects not just our UNIVERSE, But the entire MULTIVERSE!!!! Multiverse!!! Multiverse!! Multiverse! I did the echo effect (just like in the previous post).
  • Iron Man - What's an Avengers Video game without Iron Man? The answer is: just a normal video game!!! COMEDY BOOM!!!! Iron Man has missiles, repulser blasts, lasers, flight, a Royal Tart Toter, Banana Guards, Gelatin Man, Earl of Lemongrab (just joking about the Royal Tart Toter, Banana Guards Gelatin Man, and Earl of Lemongrab. They are all Candy People from Adventure Time).

The game has supreme motion control. You can punch the Air and your guy with do just that. You can go <thwip> <thwip> while playing as Spider-Man and he will Web-Shoot. BOOM!!!!! NOTE: "thwip" is a sound that Spider Man makes when Web Shooting.



Here's a Picture.

Stan Lee

Stan Lee is the ultimate comic book/movie/video game creator!!! He created The Avengers (Captain America, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk,Wasp, Spider-Man <NOTE: Most of the time Spider-Man is a solo hero, sometimes he works with the Avengers, other times he runs a team called Spider-Man and his Amazing-Friends>, Ant-Man, The Black Panther, Hawkeye, and Thor), The Fantastic Four (The Thing, Mr. Fantastic, The Invisible Woman, and The Human Torch), The X-men (Wolverine, Jean Gray, Cyclops, Beast, Angel, Ice-Man, and Charles Xavior), and practically every super hero excluding the Justice League.



In case you have not figured it out from the paragraph above, I am a huge fan of Stan Lee. He is awesome!!!! Plus I'm like one of his biggest fans!!! I can name a LOT of his creations. Here's a List of my favorite Heroes.
  • Spider-Man - Bitten by a radioactive spider, Peter Parker gained the ability to stick to walls, heightened agility, strength, improved healing, and a Spider Sense (he can sense an hazard coming before it even comes). In some versions his brains allowed him to build small devices that shoot webs of any desired form (Balls like a gun shooting bullets, Robes for his Web Swing, and a Classic web for catching flying objects, saving everyone below). Other versions show that the Spider bite gave natural webs (shot from the wrist). Spider-Man only used these gifts for the greater good when his uncle Ben was murdered by a common criminal (In the Noir Version, it was the Vulture that killed him). Before that, Ben used to tell him that with great power comes great responsibility. So he became a masked Super Hero!!!
  • Captain America - During World War 2, Stephan Rogers signed up to take a Super-Soldier Serum. After taking it, his normal human body gained increase in MUSCLE MASS!!! (NOTE: Not giant muscles, bigger than average). He was the ultimate war time soldier! He even had a Shield colored to look like the American flag!!! Only round. And He is still Alive today!!! He was Frozen in the Pacific Ocean after being flung there by a large scale explosion. The Modern Avengers thawed him out a few years later. He still fights crime as a Super Hero!
  • Iron Man - You know how most Super Heroes need to keep their identities secret, right? Iron Man A.K.A. Tony Stark (in most versions) kept his Identity as Iron Man a secret for about ten minutes (Nick Fury, a super spy, said that in the Avengers TV Show). Tony Stark is a Multi-Millionare with an entire company called Stark Industries (multi-purpose). As he has unlimited access to the tech Stark Industries sells, he used the tech to make a suit of armor with flight, repulser blasts that come out of the hands, a built in computer, and other cool stuff. He also has a machine in his chest that keeps his heart beating (a plane crash damaged SEVERELY!!!!!!!!!!). Without the device in his chest, Tony would die of a heart attack. But that doesn't stop him from fighting crime! BOOM!
  • The Fantastic Four - Ben Grimm, Johney Storm, Susan Storm, and Reed Richard were on board a space shuttle when BOOM! Massive radiation surge! All four of these guys were exposed too it and DOUBLE BOOM! Ben Grimm gained rock-like skin and Super-human Strength! Susan Storm gained invisibility power and Force Field Power! Reed Richard gained STRETCHY POWER!!! And ULTIMATE BOOM!!! Johney Storm gained Fire Power!! Together they are The FANTASTIC FOUR!!! Four!!! Four!! Four! I did the echo effect. They use their powers to save the world and sometimes the WHOLE UNIVERSE!!!!!!!!!!!
  • X-Men - The X-Men are Mutants (NOTE: Spider-Man is NOT a mutant. He's a Cross-Species) That use their gifts to save the WORLD!!!!!!! World!!! World!! World! I did the echo effect again. One of the X-Men, Wolverine, has a skeleton made of Adamantiom (the hardest fictional metal) and Claws that pop out of his Knuckles. He also has enhanced senses and Super Healing!
  • Nick Fury - Nick Fury is a super spy. He runs an secret agency called S.H.I.E.L.D.. Don't ask what S.H.I.E.L.D. stands for I have know idea. Nick Fury also knows everything about everyone on the planet (He's a secret agent. It figures he knows the Identity of every other super hero and villain). He is kind of like Batman in the way that both know a lot of things, both have BOOM-worthy gadgets, etc.

Here's a list of my Favorite Villains Stan Lee created.
  • The Lizard - Dr. Curtis Conners was a emergency medic during the war times. An explosion destroyed his right arm. As he returned to civilian life as a Scientist, he became obsessed on discovering the secrets to some lizards regrow-body-parts gene. When the serum was complete, Conners injected lizard DNA into himself. Unfortunately the foreign species took over and the Lizard was created. He grew a tail, grew claws and fangs, his skin became covered in scales, and later down the road he wanted to make more of himself. Spider-Man defeated him several times by injecting the Antidote, making the Lizard turn into Curt Conners. He was defeated one time by the X-Men.
  • Venom - What do you get when Spider-Man gets rid of the Black Suit (Which has a Mind of it's own and increases Aggression.)? You Get Edward Brock Jr. A.K.A. Venom!!! Venom can perfectly Mimic All of Spider-Man's powers and BOOM! None of his attacks can be Detected by Spider-Sense!!! And His webs are black whereas Spider-Man's Webs are white. The Colors of Yin and Yang!!! MEGA BOOM!!! Anyway, In Some versions (Ultimate the most), Venom can sprout tendrils (that's a Tentacle, if you don't know what a tendril is) from his hands and back.
  • Dr. Doom - Victor Von Doom is the ruler of an country called Latvaria. He wears a suit of Armor Like Iron Man, but is surrounded in a Force Field. In the Ultimate Spider-Man TV Show, Spider-Man describes Dr. Doom as the most powerful bad guy Ever. In Super Hero Squad Show, Dr. Doom's metal mask moves to match his current facial expression (the mouth moves while he talks). But in all the other versions, The Mask does NOT move.
  • Kang - A time traveler from the 40th Century (that's two thousand years from now). He Managed to kill the Avengers, but this event was erased from history Because Spider-Man reversed time and undone this event. So the Avengers Live on!!!!  There are actually a thousand Kangs, One for each Universe. There's more than one fictional Universe in one whole MULTIVERSE!!!!!!! And since these Universes are fictional, I name the MULTIVERSE the FICTIONVERSE!!!!!! I believe a ULTRA BOOM is in order.


Just a Reminder, I am a big fan of Stan Lee. He is awesome and possibly the most awesome person ever. He even puts himself in movie cameos! And Makes a cameo in the Amazing Spider Man (2012 video game)!

Giants are awesome!

You remember Skylanders: Giants, right? Good. I have lots of new info straight from my garden of knowledge (No, not literally. It's a metaphor.).



Here's the plot.
If you completed the first game, you know what happens to Kaos at the end. For those of you who didn't beat the game, here's what happens. Kaos was trapped in a energy bubble and was sent spiraling towards Earth. And the Skylanders got back at Kaos when HE sent THEM spiraling towards the Earth. And Kaos was turned into a toy. Now back to Giants. Kaos' toy form was put on a display case at at toy store. But unlike the Skylanders. Kaos manually freed himself from his toy prison. He then taunts Spyro, Stealth Elf, Stump Smash, Eruptor and Gill Grunt. But the Skylanders couldn't do a thing about it as they were in toy form. Afterwards Kaos uses a Portal of Power on himself, teleporting to an ancient part of Skylands. There he meets the Arkeyan Conquertron (Combo of Conqueror and Tron). The Conquertron was the slave master back when the Arkeyans were evil. He battled all eight Giants at once to protect the source of his master's power: A wearable iron hand called the Iron Fist of Arkus. Wear the fist, you become the Arkeyan King. The Arkeyan Army is invincible. So Kaos teams up with the Conquertron to find the lost city of Arkus, the resting tombs of the Iron Fist of Arkus. Back in the modern part of Skylands, Hugo (this is the only time you see Hugo in the console version) warns you, Flynn, and Cali that Kaos has returned. He bids you farewell on when you leave the Ruins. Prior to this game Flynn sold his Hot Air Balloon for an entire Airship (an Airship is a fictional pirate/sailor ship that flies.). The ship,called the Dread-Yacht, is bad luck, though. After buying a new engine from Auric, you have to save a gnome guy (actually his species is unidentified. He looks like a gnome though.) named Ermit from Brock. Brock's a Drow (evil elves) that has an arena. If you beat him, Ermit joins the crew and tells you about Kaos' master plan. After another while, you have to rescue some Mabu folk who were taken prisoner by Dreadbeard. If you don't know who Dreadbeard is, he's a pirate obsessed with card games. Last time he played a card game, he gained a whole ship filled with diamonds and gold. Anyway, he took over Cutthroat Carnival and forced his hostages to work as unpaid interns. You beat him at a game of Skystones (Skylander version of checkers). After nearing the end of the game, you have to fight Kaos' drilling machine, Drill-X (comically every word Drill-X says is in song). You are too late to stop Kaos from putting on the Iron Fist of Arkus though. Kaos transforms into a giant robot version of himself and an epic Boss Battle happens. Ermit and Machine Ghost (A ghost living inside a machine) remove the Fist, rendering Kaos completely powerless. Kaos cowardly runs back to his lair where he reveals he has 37 more evil plans to take over Skylands. And Finally Kaos' mother shows up and grounds him for being evil. Then there's a happy ending. The End.


If you want to know more about the plot, please go Spyro Wiki.



Here's a gallery

In previous posts I said that the Dread-Yacht could be customized. In every level is a hidden Legendary Treasure. In the first game Legendary Treasures gave you some cash. But that's it. In this game, you can decorate the Dread-Yacht by putting the Legendary Treasures on display anywhere on the ship! Anyway, here's a picture of the Dread Yacht's exterior.

Funky Barn

Funky Barn is what you get from combining a Wii U with whacky farming and cool machinery.



Just to let you know, you might notice little detail about this game. The reason? The only source of info is on the Nintendo website. There are no wikis for this game. And the only wiki that has a article related to this game has only one sentence.


You can name you farm animals and interact with them in many ways. You can pick up a sheep with the cursor and then drop it in a rickety wool shaving device. The wool comes out boxed up and the Sheep comes out with only a few hairs here and there.



Here's a list of known gadgets.
  • Sheep Shaving Device - Grab a Sheep and toss it down the chute. This whacky gizmo will do the rest! The Sheep will cannonball out of the machine (As stated above, the Sheep will have no wool on it except for patches here and there) and the wool will burst out boxed up!
  • Crop Collector - This mini airplane will frantic fly around your farm, harvesting crops at amazing speed. It will land exactly where it launched.
  • Egg Bot - A robot shaped like a egg with a Jack-O-Lantern face. It also has a vacuum on it's back, no arms, and two long mechanical legs end in cowboy boots. It's purpose is to collect eggs that you chickens have laid.
  • Milk Collector - a machine that, true to it's name, milks cows then bottles up the collected milk.


Here's a list of known animals
  • Chicken (Hen) - These chickens lay eggs which you can sell so you have money to buy gadgets with.
  • Chicken (Rooster) - I do not know if roosters are in the game, but since there are Hens, I'm pretty sure there are Roosters
  • Pigs - I don't know what Pigs do in the game.
  • Sheep - Sheep make wool to sell so you have more money in your pocket.
  • Chicks - If a chicken egg hatches before it's harvested, you get a Chick. The role the Chick has is unknown, though it is plausible that They age and become Hens (or Roosters if the Rooster is in the game).
  • Cow - Sheep Wool and Chicken eggs isn't enough to keep money flowing. Cows will make milk which you can sell for even MORE money.


There are possibly going to be more blog posts on this game because it's ultra new (it's not even out yet).

Project Exonaut

Project Exonaut is a game where you combine robotic suits based on Cartoon Network characters, futuristic laser guns and distant planets.


There are two warring factions. The First one is Bonzai Squadron. They specialize in speed. Most of the Bonzai members are red in color. Like all non-realistic suits, Bonzai suits add or subtract details that the original character does/doesn't have.. The other faction is Atlas Brigade. They specialize in strength.


Here's a short list with some of the suits in it.
  • Tina Rex - A T. Rex themed suit. Tina Rex is from The Amazing World of Gumball. The original Tina Rex has a long tail and two fingers. This suit has no tail whatsoever and has five fingers.
  • Ice King - The Ice King suit is based off of the Adventure Time character of the same name. The original Ice King wears a picture-less robe that covers his whole body from the neck down except for the hands. The suit however, has normal pants and a sweater and his feet are exposed AND barefoot, also his new sweater has flames painted on them. Odd actually. Because his weakness is heat. Because heat melts ice.
  • Alien X - Ben 10's most powerful form as a Exonaut suit. A notable difference between the show and the suit is that the suit has more spikes.
