I don't know where to begin with this...so I'm starting this post with a fitting, appropriate video clip that sums up how I feel right now......
Capcom wants to give you the roster to MvC3 in drips and drabs but I can't bite my tongue any longer, I have it on a very reliable source that the following are THE remaining characters. Call me crazy but when the "official" announcement comes, remember where you heard it first.
ready? here we go:
CAPCOM:
MIKE HAGGAR ( Final Fight, Saturday Night Slammasters)
FRANK WEST (Dead Rising)
ARTHUR ( Ghouls n Ghosts )
ALBERT WESKER ( Resident Evil )
VIEWTIFUL JOE ( Duh!)

DC UNIVERSE ONLINE : MY IMPRESSION SO FAR....
Although the thought of aa console MMOPRG with DC superheroes really appeals to me, I a little sad that none of the gameplay footage that I've seen gives me any hope for this title.
I know it's a work in progress but with the release date right around the corner I've yet to see something other than a spiffy CG trailer that compel me to play this game. Here are some of the points that believe this game will have going against it at launch:
Here's the "sizzle" in the form of the comic con CG trailer for the game, which I have to say had me sold in the first 30 seconds:
And here's the "steak" an approximation of what your getting for $59.99 + $14 a month.
I know it's a work in progress but with the release date right around the corner I've yet to see something other than a spiffy CG trailer that compel me to play this game. Here are some of the points that believe this game will have going against it at launch:
- COST : $59.99+ tax and an additional $14 a month if you don't have a PS+ account or the slightly better deal of getting a PS+ account for $50 per year and you get to play this game for free, HULU plus and wipeout HD included for that price. It's still an extra cost that PS3 console gamers are not used to.
- COMPETITION: With the huge selection of established and soon to be released multiplayer games that are for the most part you are able to play for free online with your "friends" I can't imagine that this game has a snowballs chance in hell of taking off, which takes us to my next critique.
- GAMEPLAY: looks bad, from what I can gather, it suffers from bad collision, the animations are choppy and the in game world look just bland ( think Nintendo 64 superman). I mean at this point and time you would think that Sony, one of the early pioneers of the multiplayer online gaming world, would have gotten there shit together when it comes to MMORPG by now.

MARVEL VS CAPCOM 3: 4 MORE CHARACTERS ANNOUNCED
With almost a year before the game drops, Capcom has decided to give us the roster to their much anticipated fighting game in drips and drabs ( and like a true sucker I'm hanging on with baited breath to every announcement waiting for either Thor or Ben Grimm )
NEW ADDITIONS FOR CAPCOM:
- CHUN LI ( a shoe in, she's ever missed a game)
- TRISH ( The Female interest in Devil May Cry, don't know much about her but she looks fun )
AND FOR MARVEL:
- DOCTOR DOOM (It's funny that they would announce him and not an obvious character like Spiderman)
- SUPER SKRULL (This bodes bad for any of the Fantastic Four making it into the game since he's covers all of their powers in one green little package )
here's the clip:
Here's my MvC3 obscure wishlist:
CAPCOM
- Q ( Street Fighter 3 : 3rd Strike - Mystery man wearing a trench coat and an Ultraman mask.)
- LOST PLANET NEVEC PIRATES ( Sweet!)
- DR. WILEY ( Mega Man Villain who summons evil robots )
- ARTHUR ( Fabled king and hero from the classic Ghouls N Ghosts series )
- FOCKER ( Power Stones Pilot guy )
- HAYATO ( from Rival Schools , the gym teacher that makes you do push-ups)
- PHEONIX WRIGHT ( Who wouldn't want to beat up an Ace Attorney? )
MARVEL
- THOR ( He's got a movie coming out, now's the time to get Storm out of there and give the God of Thunder his due)
- Mr. IMPOSSIBLE ( It would be insane, but oh so much fun )
- IRON FIST ( With out question )
- MANDARIN ( 10 Rings of fun for everyone )
- MOON KNIGHT or DAREDEVIL ( I'll take what I can get )
But my number one must have character is Chauncey Streets very own the ever loving blue eyed THING - BEN GRIMM!

JOHN'S COMIC BOOK MOMENT # 2
(This one's for Pete, the worlds biggest Spider-fan)
The latest run of Amazing Spiderman was quiet fun, but the final chapter had the "I wonder if spiderman would ever get angry enough to use his sticky little fingers to rip someone face off" moment.
And who could push the wise-cracking, cool as a cucumber Parker over the edge?
Non other than Kraven's wife and kids who murdered Madame Web, Spider Girl ( Cassandra Kane ) and another spidey clone Kaine ( don't ask ) in a bizarre ritual to resurrect Kraven who blew his own head off in the now classic "Last Hunt" story.
Dig the sound effect "SCHRIIIIIIIPPP" gruesome!

EVO LAS VEGAS 2010 SSF4 GRAND FINAL RESULTS
Awesome live streaming of the fights with commentary, big thanks to the team at Levelup-series.com.
This is the first time that I actually watched the matches leading up to the finals and I have to say I was blown away with the variety of characters selected and pleasantly surprised to see that players are breaking away from characters that I consider boring like Sagat, Ken and Ryu.
Super Street Fighter 4 SEMI-FINALS
Justin Wong (Rufus) vs Gamerbee (Adon)
(One of my favorite matches)
Not for any cool moves or super comback, what made this match for me was the on camera pre-fight interview where the favored Justin Wong was overheard by Gamerbee stating that Adon was a weak bottom tier character, so what does Gamerbee do? he eliminates Justin with.....Adon, bazinga!
and now on to the Final Match:
Super Street Fighter 4
Finalists Daigo vs Ricky Ortiz
WINNER: Daigo

LOOK MA!! I'M FAMOUS!
Here's a little video that I stumbled upon while searching google for my username and blog, apparently one of the players of this Super Street Fighter 4 team battle was so impressed by my Blanka skills that he had to share it with the world.
All kidding aside, I love this age of online gaming and video sharing, it's simply amazing (like my street fighting skills)
Check out the video below and enjoy:
THE BOT CAVE.
I was doing some adjusting / cleaning of my display case and I figured I'd take a picture for the site.
most of these guys on the top Two shelves from Bandai's Soul of Chogokin line, they're about 8" to 9" tall and made mostly out of die-cast metal.
The bottom shelf is an eclectic mix of cool looking mechs from various shows...but we'll get to them later.
Shelf one robot roll call From Left to Right : Great Mazinger, Raideen, Getter Liger, Getter Posiedon, Battle Fever Robo, Mazinger.
Robot Roll call shelf Two : Grandaiza w/ UFO and 3 Speizer set, Doublas, Aphrodite X, Garada, Gaiking Dragon & Vehicles, Gaiking robot.
Shelf 3: 1/100 Metallic Shiki, 1/100 Zeta Gundam, 1/35 Scopedog Red Shoulder Customs (x4), Revoltech Hiraku and Focker Valkyries, 1/35 and 1/18th Strike Dogs and a 1/35 BloodSucker (Votoms), SOC spec Xabugle.
Just looking for a Soul of Chogokin GX-18 Getter Dragon for a decent price to complete my 70's - 80's Super Robot collection and I'm done......for now.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!

COMIC BOOK MOMENT # 1 ( WEEK 4 - JUNE 2010 )
Welcome to the premiere installment of "comic book moment of the week" I'm going to take look at some of the comics that are coming out from the big Three publishers and just highlights some of the moments from these books to give those of you who are out of the comic loop a glimpse into the world of your favorite character.
We're going to file this weeks entry under "writer is either painting himself into a corner or he's going to open a can of clones" with this weeks moment,
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN # 635 - THE GRIM HUNT part 2
writer : Joe Kelly - Artists: Michael Lark & Stephano Gaudino
A follow up to the KRAVEN'S LAST HUNT story from the 80's where Kraven drugs spidey up, buries him and then proceeds to become the "Spider" by wearing his "skin". Parker finally wakes up, finds Kraven, beats the living snot out of him and then Kraven sends a letter to the NYPD confessing to all sorts of wrong doing and shoots himself with an rifle and dies.
Several years later, Kravens wife and his Two kids along with the Sinister Six all get together to pay Spiderman a little payback.
Don't worry folks, it's just a flesh wound.....
.....sweet Jesus! what kind of sick spider snuff book is this?!?

I know that next issue they'll bullshit their way out of this one, but until then they've go my attention.
AWESOME FOUR FOOT TALL GUNDAM SEED PAPERCRAFT SCRATCH BUILD
Thanks to Mumblestien for this one.
Gundam fan Taras Lesko had a little time on his hands (Two Months) and built himself a 4 foot tall scale Gundam Seed out of paper.
He started by building a Bandai 1/100 model of the Gundam, then Modeled it by hand in 3D studio MAX and broke it down into sections for printing.
The structure is comprised of over 500 parts printed on 175 sheets of card stock paper.
one exacto knife, a clip board, lots of glue and a ton of patients and you've got yourself an awesome display piece!
See the time lapse construction below:

BATMAN GOES GONZO
We here at Grandaiza.com take our monkey business serious, so when the adult movie industry makes a parody of the campy 60's batman TV show.... well we just have to share it with the rest of you pervs.
Don't worry, the trailer is from Youtube so it's wife / girlfriend safe.
