    I love this guy's twitter account. His pictures are amazing. Good video. I was expecting the water to start spraying everywhere.

    Google forced me to get a Google+ account because I logged into youtube yesterday. Youtube keeps harassing me to use my real name, I say no and the only way to keep that is to save my username preferences which auto-creates a Google+ account. wtf google.

    I thought it was a good second episode. Old St. Louis was quite a sight. I like how they explained a small bit of the terra forming that happened in the area. It does look like Defiance will be its own show.. this episode was definitely nothing like a standard Eureka format and I'm very glad for that. The next episode is all about hellbugs!

    Season finale is next week. This last episode was intense. Their dedication and devotion to their religion is mind numbing. The way they portrayed the sacrifices, especially the human sacrifices at the end was less disturbing than I thought it would be. Even though the religious act of human sacrifice would be seen as barbaric and inhuman in todays standards, it was presented as something they all believed needed to be done. I thought the christian priest guy (looks up name, ah its: Athelstan) was going to be killed.. but he would only be sacrificed if he volunteered. Such an odd culture. They'll do sanctioned raids and kill any one in their paths, but only sacrifice one of their own religion that wishes it upon themselves. And during the human sacrifice, only Athelstan watched in what looked like a mixture of sadness with a hint of horror and disgust.

    Thats a good comparison! When I first heard about this movie I thought it sounded stupid.. but the trailer really sells the concept. If I was one of those guys, I'd fling my body all over the place like some crazy immortal bastard.

    Thats pretty bad ass. Zooming all the way out to see the entire galaxy looks amazing. So much space.

    After watching this trailer, I can tell this will be a much better Ryan Reynolds movie than Green Lantern. I think its hilarious that they look nothing like themselves when walking around the living. Click here to view the article

    This looks like it will be fun to play. It would be horribly ironic if it sucked ass.

    Thanks for posting about this. I completely forgot it was going to start streaming in April. I'll watch the pilot tomorrow. Too many shows on tonight. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CE18P0K/ It looks like its free. Did you need an amazon prime subscription to watch? Or does it have commercials?

    Defiance has definitely taken a lot of ideas off Eureka. I hope it doesn't follow the same episode structure tho. Considering that Syfy canceled Eureka, it would only make sense that they don't copy the series or they'll only be setting the show up for failure. I figure as long as Defiance maintains at least 1.5 million viewers per episode it will last at least 4 seasons. I base that off of Battlestar Galactica's production costs and viewers. I hope some more of the in game weapons show up in the series. I've been seeing people using these mortar and infector weapons and I am impressed:

    I wonder if this guy will be shipped off to Guantanamo bay to never be heard from again.

    Holy crap she is impressive.

    Starting at the 4:05 mark, the evaporating water almost looks like its emitting light. Like its a small thunderstorm underwater. Very cool looking.

    Batman defeated Superman? wtf. I still would like to get this game at some point. But I imagine they'd dlc the living crap out of it, so I think I'll hold off on getting it until its around $20.

    Whats interesting about the game is that the city Defiance is not in it. I'm not certain if the game takes place on another continent or what.. but like how it was mentioned in the series, "the defiant few" and the "battle of defiance" was a major milestone in the wars, and even tho the city isn't in the game, the name still has meaning. http://defiance.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_of_Defiance Trion and Syfy have an agreement for cross promoting their products, but from what I read, if either the series fails or the game fails, the other property can easily continue on. So even if the show only gets 3 seasons, as long as the game is still popular, they'll keep it going. The arkfalls are very different in the game compared to that first one in the show. In the show, it was a large structure that they walked into and explored. In the game the ark pieces are significantly smaller, no exploring.. basically kill all enemies before a countdown reaches zero. Then the ark chunks usually have a power fluctuation and explode. I can understand doing that in the game tho. They have to clear out the ark material because other quests take place in those same locations, and explorable pieces of ships doesn't seem plausible with the amount of ppl there. Instead, as you kill the enemies off, the loot is being dropped on the ground for you to get, or the loot is appearing right next to the ark material. I played a bit more today and participated in a major arkfall. There were at least 20 of us there fighting off against a hellion. This isn't my video but it looked like this: Now, to bring this back to the show.. I'll be very interested to see some of these hellbugs show up.. especially these hellions. However, after experiencing these monsters in the game, I have no idea how in the hell that shield could have prevented hellbugs from destroying the city of Defiance. These things burrow and/of fly everywhere. I don't see how an energy wall could stop these things at all.

    The current Indie Gala bundle added Mass Effect 2 for Origin. Wow. I was not expecting to see a major name title in another bundle outside of the THQ games. They have 8 games for under $6 including ME2. http://www.indiegala.com/

    I need new lenses for my glasses. I swear my left eye is not focusing correctly at all.. Damn eye strain headaches all the time now. -_-

    1. Sledgstone

      Sledgstone

      lol. So I ended up getting new lenses. I might try contacts at some point. Glasses don't bother so much considering that I'm nearsighted. If I couldn't focus on objects at arm length, I'd have to wear contacts because I couldn't imagine only being able to focus through the small field of vision my glasses offer.

      I need glasses too but it's cheaper if I pick em up from India.

      It'd probably be cheaper if I buy my lenses online, but I like having a place I can go to get free adjustments and nose pieces.

    I doubt we'll see trans warp... but then again, they covered time travel in the first movie. Section 31 sounds about right. I completely forgot about it. If John Harrison was part of Khans super human race, that could explain why this guy is such a threat. Maybe because the time line is different because of the impacts of the first movie, perhaps Khan has died in this timeline and John Harrison is part of his group and takes his command.

    In the game you see the hellbug skitterlings (almost the size of a human on the ground) all over the place. Whenever you think you're alone they usually show up randomly burrowing from underground. The skitterlings are weak tho.. a couple bullets and they're dead. They look a bit like crab creatures unless they have their mouths open.. The only time I've seen larger hellbugs, like the hellbug archers (human size hellbugs with wings and they fly), or the regular hellbugs (at least human size and are bastards that spit gunk at you to hold you in place while they kill you), are at arkfalls. From my understanding, the arkfalls more or less summon enemies and especially hellbugs to the area. I'm guessing the stuff the hellbugs like to eat are in the arkfalls. Which surprised me in the first episode of the series. After Nolan and Irisa came across that first arkfall I was expecting hellbugs to show up. But no hellbugs... so wth... I've only played about 10 hours of the game, about 4 in beta and 6 in game so I don't have much to go on yet.. but I have seen 2 arkfalls. The first was an episode mission and I actually ran into Nolan and Irisa when I was playing the game with my brother. We all fought off a crap load of hellbugs and claimed some loot.. the second arkfall was completely unexpected.. we were in an area when a chunk of ark came falling out of the sky and landed close to us. Players in the area started converging on it and before I knew it about 15 or so of us was fighting off hellbugs and other enemies trying to claim it. The larger the hellbugs the more dangerous they are. I doubt Syfy will drop it anytime soon considering season 2 was greenlight before the first ep of season 1 even aired.

    Imagine if the actor that played Superman actually did an episode or two of Deadliest Catch as a promotional stunt.. lmao... he would have been screwed.
  22. Sledgstone
    If 20 minutes of this movie is Clark Kent on Deadliest Catch, I'll pass. lmao.

    I have a feeling its a completely different vessel all together. Just like that Romulan mining ship was completely original, I wouldn't be surprised if this ship is some new prototype that John Harrison somehow acquired at some Area 51 styled shipyard.
  24. Sledgstone
    Finally. This is starting to look good. I wish the trailers would stop focusing on the origins and show us more of what everyone wants to see, epic superman battles.
  25. Sledgstone
    Yep... I hope more episodes don't follow the standard Eureka episode pattern. As in.. "Carter / Nolan finds an object or learns a piece of information in the first 15 minutes of the episode that he then uses in the last 15 minutes of the episode in a creative way to save the day." I look forward to watching more episodes just to find out more details about the story and history they are creating. The Pale Wars, the Volge, Cold Fire Weapons, what happened with the Votans system that caused them to build arks, etc.. Hmm... after looking at the official site, it appears that most of that is answered.. maybe instead of a regular series where they explain everything or give everything an origin story, they might just be assuming everyone knows the established canon off their website. That definitely seems different. I wish most movies would do that. Everyone knows who Superman is, skip remaking origin movies and just make a new movie with new interesting things. Maybe thats what Syfy is doing with Defiance. Assume everyone read the stuff, its established and get into interesting adventures... but theres so much on the website, all of it could have been used to make some amazing episodes or maybe they're saving it for possible prequel material. http://www.defiance.com/en/series/world-of-2046/technology/charge-blades http://www.defiance.com/en/series/world-of-2046/technology/cold-fire The hell bugs remind me of the Dune Sandworms.. the sandworms produced spice and these hellbugs produce fuel: http://www.defiance.com/en/series/world-of-2046/aliens/hellbugs I'm looking forward to seeing some hellbugs in the series, in the game the larger ones are real bastards to kill.
