My take on what the next Battlefield game is

Masterwolf Here!

So a few days I happen to come across this video here;

So since Levelcap, Jackfrag, and Matimi0 brought this topic up, I decided to throw in my two cents in and give my opinion on several things that they brought up on the video

So lets start of with the idea of a World War 1 Battlefield game. Well, I don't there is anything you could do with a WW1 game. There were few weapons that was used during the war, most of the war was nothing but trench warfare, and I am not sure how tanks and plane could be used in a period when the armored warfare and dogfighting was very new. So trying to mix Battlefield and WW1, I really don't think it would happen, however that doesn't mean you can make it interesting. But as the three in the video mention, there isn't a lot to do with WW1.

Now lets get into the juicy stuff, World War 2. It's been sometime since Battlefield 1942 has come out and Battlefield 1943 is console exclusive (PLEASE DICE! RELEASE IT TO PC! I WILL THROW MY SOUL FOR THAT GAME!) However, it is quite possible for Battlefield to make a return to World War 2 since we now are able to do a lot of destruction and I could see them either doing a remake to 1942 with the new improvement to the Frostbite engine or create a new game. Plus it would be a good change compare to all the futuristic fps games that has been coming out.

From World War 2 to the Future? Yes I am talking about 2142 or as the fans been demanding, Battlefield 2143. So we all know about Battlefield 2142, a fantastic futuristic fps game (or near-future idk) game with Titan carriers, VTOLs, Mechs, and hover tanks! So the interesting question is, would the next Battlefield game be 2143? Well the tiro did mention that it helps bring creativity, so I won't be surprise if Battlefield do a near-future or a 2143 game.

So what about Bad Company? Ah yes, I can hear many fans a screaming about having a Bad Company 3 game; however, there is something interesting about it. See, while it is good to have a Bad Company 3, Dice doesn't know what made the other two Bad Company games so magically. I can actually see this being possible, and scary at the same time. However; I can see the point and I can give my opinion what make Bad Company such a fantastic game. lets go down the list;

1) The destruction and free roaming is huge

2) The Comedy between the squad and memorable characters

3) Poking fun at other FPS games (Come on, Bad Company 2 poke fun at COD numerous times)

4) just all out awesome

With such, those is how I see what Bad Company was so successful with gamers.

With everything taken form the trio in the video. Which games do I think would be the next Battlefield game? That I will let DICE decide and surprise me. However I want to hear it from you, what genre should the next Battlefield game be and what you want to see in the next installment.

Kingdom Heart-ish? (A novel review)

Master Wolf Here.

It is no question that I love Kingdom Hearts <3 perhaps the best game series to ever blessed the gaming world with its memorable characters to the story itself. Countless fans have grown attach to the many characters in Kingdom Hearts with their unique personality and the worlds they traveled to and made friends with both Disney and Final Fantasy characters as Sora, Donald, Goofy, and friends battle Xehanort and his ambition to merge Kingdom Hearts. With the long awaited Kingdom Hearts 3 and the end of the Xehanort saga, its no question we have come a long way since the first Kingdom Hearts was released and fans begin to love and always wonder what will our Heroes adventure will be next.

However, we are not going to be talking about the Kingdom Hearts series, nope we are going to read a novel that has similar aspect to the beloved series with some changes here and there. I am talking about 'Faith of the Heart' by DisneyFan01

Faith of the Hearts Part 1 Chapter 1: First Sight

So as of right now, there is 3 parts (or books) that follows Marina, Donald, Goofy, Chip and Dale, Jiminy Chriket, and Captain Silver travel from world to world to not only find more about the Nightmares and the Prophecy, but to save their wizard friend Merlin from the clutches of Darkness. As their adventures continues, they meet countless memorable characters and new friends, such as Jose, Panchito, and Genie, as the mystery and adventure continues to unraveled and each world brings new danger to the group.

So right of the bat, there is something I have to bring up; and that is the main character is very flawed and does comes off as Mary Sue-ish. Now there is nothing wrong with a lawful good character, however I do wish to see Marina Seadrift's flaws play an important part. She does have moments where her weakness comes up; but nothing really character changing (with the exception to her becoming the adopted mother to Kopa after Sarabi died from her wounds).

Another thing that I really wish the author to do more is give the boys of the group some character development that makes them stand out and memorable. Like Kingdom Hearts, Sora, Donald, and Goofy have much different personality from one another; however, they are able to play off each other perfectly as they went on many adventures and have a lot of development between the three. But in 'Faith of the Hearts', we've barely have any development or some conflicts between characters (with the exception between Donald/Marina and Marina/Captain Silver; but that's just it). It would be nice to see some interesting character building.

However; despite all the nitpicking of the series, its not at all bad.

Let me explain; Despite being Kingdom Heart-ish and often kept true to the movies (Aladdin and Little Mermaid), its actually a good read and I see it more as a tribute to the beloved series. It is enough that it's completely it's own series and made use of settings and locations to it's advantage. There is a sense that there is something much bigger at play and we have only seen the surface of the big plan. Even though the story can be slow at start, it does starts going when we get to the battles.

As of right now, the story is in Book 3 and continue to impress me. Disneyfan01 has a lot of potential in being an amazing writer as well as a great artist. I can't wait to see what else is in stored to 'Faith of the Hearts' in future chapters. So with that, I say that this series is a great read and worth your time.

Final Verdict: 5/5

Re: Easy's Bio-Revelation Review

Master Wolf here! So all of you may have remember my previous review of Easy's comic 'Bio-Revelation'. Well since she is redoing the series, I decided to redo my review on it and see what have change and see if its for the best. So lets take a look at 'Bio-Revelation' redo by Easy!


So what is different in this redo? how about the beginning where we get a rather interesting news report about a situation (this serve as an interesting setup to what is about to come, but doesn't go into too much detail about it) We then go back before the situation to see a rather grim reminder of the 1960's where segregation was at its worst, however like before Easy tackle the topic about cloning and the way we respond to it... also one can spot a sign of a lab selling... clones... okay forget the 1960's reference, this is pre-Civil War era mix with the 1960's era! My god, I can't imagine how the United Nations will react to this... anyway, getting off track.

This redo does things way different as we get to see more back story to the Watson Brothers and Jer's struggle to trying to balance his own life and being with the (extremely racist) Friends of Humanity (or rather Enemy of Humanity), trust me; you'll see why I said in my previous review they are more of a terrorist group with the amount of things they get away with. (then again, that what's happen when you have PMC's to be your main police force... which is a stupid move.)

Not only we get a back story to the Watson Brothers, but we do get a back story to Lance; who (I am totally shock about) was a former member of... you know what, I don't want to spoil it, so I will let you readers see what I am talking about.

Dmitri is still an asshole and a bad guy with what I can gather a secret agenda giving what he does in the comic, which means we have are official antagonist with perhaps a motive. Also it would seems that there is a riff slowly growing with the F.O.H. from one part of the comic of the ethics of their treatments.

So far, the Redo is worth a read and does things a lot better that the original hasn't touched on. I praised Easy for doing this redo as it brings much more emotions and leave the readers to wonder what will happen next in the series. Here's to Easy to continue such a great work!

My Thoughts on Inkblazers Shutting Down

Master Wolf here! So some of you may have notices this already, but to others who don't is that Inkblazers (or MangaMagazine) a comic/manga sharing website is shutting down next year due to money issues. So my response to the whole thing is 'meh'

Now before anyone bash me for my response (I know some friends who are comic artists and was using this site for almost everything), here is the reason why I went 'meh' at the news of the website shutting down; it wasn't really that good of a website.

So why do I think that InkBlazers/MangaMagazine isn't that great to begin with? Well lets get started on the way the website is laid out; which is bad in my opinion.

DeviantArt, FurAffinity, and other websites I am apart of have user friendly layouts that users can use with ease, from search engines to dashboards. Inkblazers on the other hand has a complicated layout that sometimes doesn't even work that great at all. The only friendly layout that does work was the bookshelf that will let you know which comic has be updated with a new page, but that is just the only good thing it has. You can delete past comments on your dashboards nor clean up unwanted junk that plagues your dashboards. Sure you can select which type of messages you want to see, but that should not be the case. So that is one thing I have a problem with and from hearing others I talked about this, I am not the only one.

The second one is the way it was managed. From the Email I have received from a friend of mine explaining why the site is closing, which brings a lot of questionable things that have been made before the announcement. One of this questionable move was the whole 'Preview Program' while the idea is really great, pays comic artists for every page they release, it does have a lot of flaws; even with the tight on budget as the email said. So why would you put something like 'Preview Program' when you don't have the money? Like my father have said, 'Don't spend when you don't have the money to spend with.' a logical saying, but it seems that the owner didn't think it thought. Another thing I notice in the Email is that the owner didn't even thought about using ads or other advertising to get more people to come and read, but it would seem those advise had fallen on deaf ears and that is why the website is shutting down, because the owner seem to have little care for it.

While the website does help raising comic artists to get notice, there are better comic sharing sites out there that does the concept better that InkBlazers has fallen short on. Its surprising seeing my friends panic when they first heard the news then suddenly calm down when they found other sites or have already accounts on those sites yet never used it until now. So is this the end of the artists on InkBlazers? No.

They have already found other websites even created a group to keep in touch with each other. So it's not the end, it's just a beginning of something better.

Editorial: Is everything really Obama's fault?

Master Wolf here! Time for another Editorial and this one... I might get some flak but it is the damn truth people!

So the question for today is... is everything really Obama's fault. The answer is... *drumroll* ... no.

Before everyone go blasting on to the comments and yelling about how I am sooooo wrong, I want to go over Government 101 for newbies first; so that we are all clear about how the government works...

#1: Congress has the most power.
You might be wondering 'why does Congress have the most power?' because they are the lawmakers and budget makers, as well as determined if the law should be revisited or be taken down. In truth, from what my family has heard several Congress members in the southwest states about 'sending Obama the Bill!'... wouldn't it be more of 'We're sending the bill to ourselves!'... kinda hypocritical there... Also the President can suggest to Congress on what topic needs to be look at... and that's it.... So before anyone go blame Obama, how about you blame Congress first.

#2: Presidents can only Suggest topic, sign bills, or veto bills.
Once a bill passes both House and Senate, it is up to the President to see if he/she likes what he/she sees and signs it, or if there was something he/she doesn't like then he/she can Veto it and send it back to Congress. the President can also suggest Congress about a topic or what he would like to see, but once that's down... then its up to Congress to decide whether or not go deep into the topic. So basically... the President is only there to sign bills into laws or veto them.

#3: Congress has the most say on every matter
When a situation occurs, The President can't do anything without the backing of Congress to see if they are for it or against it. So then with the current situation that is happening now, Congress is the one to blame. Why you may ask? because they were the ones that won't allow a certain amount of money needed for Border Patrol or Federal Judges needed to handle this situation. Reason is simple, Congress has the power to approve or disapprove anything that comes their way... so in short... BLAME CONGRESS FOR NOT DOING THEIR %$#@ING JOB!!!

*clears throat* sorry, so now that we know how Government in the US works... the real question is, who's at fault the most? The answer is so clear, that you don't need anything to see it. Congress is the ones that isn't doing the job we sent them to do. So why are Congress (most of them) blaming Obama... Well... there is one reason that I could think of that makes so much sense... but also a scary fact... most of congress Congress are Racist.

Now I know this is a huge jumping of the shark, but... once you read and hear stories where most of Congress blames Obama, as well as looking back at pass presidents... then its a huge scary fact. Now how can the situation we're in be fixed? well first thing is Congress needs to get their heads out of their asses. Some members of Congress are actually doing their jumps and what to deal with the situation, however you have most people Congress who want to do nothing and just collect their huge paychecks in the end of their terms. They also want to whine and complain that nothing is getting done when in reality, they are the ones that haven't done anything.

Like Obama said at the rally, 'I am doing my job, it's congress that needs to do theirs.' which is so much fact that even our pass presidents would totally agree with him. People, we need to change this; we need to let Congress know that they need to suck it up and get back to work. If not, then this might lead us down the road of the beginning of the end.

Are Gamer's taking things too far?

Master Wolf here! So I was at work, doing what I do best which is fixing cars, when all of a sudden a question pop in my head and I have been witnessing this for quite some time... are gamers taking things too far?


Well in my honest opinion... yes, they are taking things too far...

First examples of this is the bashing of Dice's Battlefield 4 game. Sure, it have it's problem on launch... but so did Battlefield 3... and many other games... you can't expect every single game to be handed to you on a golden platter! I mean, my god, give the developers time and don't say that it's all EA's fault because of (insert bullshit about EA here). Well you know something, I have no trouble with EA and I think you all need to CHILL!!!

second is when talking to people about certain types of games, like the upcoming Battlefield Hardline, some people seem to hate it right off the bat... um hello? shouldn't you 'try out' the game before you make up your mind?! I mean, what happen to 'trying it out and see if you like it or not' I swear to god, if people are only going to base their opinions on snippets and teasers... then I feel really bad for the gaming society...

Edit: This is what my sister said;
I would like to play as another lady assassin, but in all honesty people are complaining too late. They should've started complaining when we got word that the lead was going to be male.

the third issue is the whole bullshit complains about one company's decision or so... like recently with Ubisoft that gamers are throwing a fit about... like my sister said, she doesn't care if you play as a female are not; just as long as the game is fun to play... so for every gamer complaining; QUIT IT! NO ONE WANT TO HERE YOU COMPLAIN LIKE A BUNCH OF TODDLERS?!

there are plenty more I have examples of gamers taking everything too far... but that would take long. So with the examples/issues that I have presented... it would seem as if the gaming community may be showing its ugly side when it comes to 'diehard' gamers and their games. It's just a game that is meant for entertainment and to make friends from around the world, but with issues like theses, I am sad to say that it may have a nasty and possible worst outcomes that is yet to be seen.

That's all I have to say and I will be seeing you on the Battlefield!

Furocity, the Furry Rock Radio

Master Wolf here! And I will come clean with this, but I am a furry. I mean you can already tell with the pictures I have up on Deviantart and Furaffinity, but as I was explore around FA; I came upon a radio station that is for furries, this is Furocity Radio!


So what is Furocity Radio? Well it's a radio show that is the only furry rock station on the net and it really is! They have a wide range of song that can be requested to play on the air and it can be from any era. The cast that host Furocity (DJ Cody, DJ Foxxy, and more) are really nice and you can even chat with them as well talk about anything. I must say, compare to big time radio station like Q105, Roxy, and others, Furocity Radio feel connected to the listeners and will have a fun time chatting with the DJ on Skype.

So go check out Furocity Radio! You will have the time of your lives listening to this station!
