Real Steel: Movie in Review

Released: 2011 Rated: PG-13  Run Time: 127 minutes (2 hours and 7 minutes)


Much like Kick-Ass, this movie caught me very much off guard. I thought I was going to go to a casual show and watch some robots destroy themselves for my entertainment, but I was wrong, so horribly wrong. Well, not horribly; actually quite pleased actually.


Straight forward, this is a 'heart of gold' movie about a father finding redemption with his son over the course of robot boxing matches. It turns out great, with story beating out 'feel good' and most likely will find yourself cheering as if you were ring side. My only complaint is a I felt wanting more, wishing this was a mini series on tv then a really long movie or perhaps they just wanted to make a sequel. I am sure we will see.

Dark Cloud Blogs going to Nekocon

Hampton Roads has it`s own anime convention every first weekend of November, Nekocon. This veteran con is in it`s 14th year and this will be my 3rd time having the pleasure to attend. It was a rather last minute decision, missing pre-reg by a day so I will have to pay at the door which sucks but it will be worth it. I will be joining one of my best friends at the con; the same friend that convinced me to go.

He will be cosplaying as an alerted MGS generic soldier, while I will be cosplaying a quick `n` dirty Sam Flynn from Tron: Legacy (This cosplay will be covered in a future Bigender Kinky Gamer post.). I am looking forward to all the events Nekocon has to offer, always enjoying the AMV contest. I will be buying a new camera for the con and will all can expect a post about the con with pictures!

Shades out!

Pastry in Review: Archer Farms Pumpkin Spice Muffins

Where: Target Weight Watcher Points: 10

So I am at Target seeing if they are carrying Pumpkin Pie for the Fall season. Disappointedly they did not but I did discovered their Pumpkin Spice Muffins. I decided that it be fair enough (like the sad Pumpkin Muffins at Donkin` Donuts) but was happily surprised.

Biting into the muffin I was surprised by the full pumpkin pie flavor but slightly different. Making it even better, the muffin has a full smooth top while the texture is a smooth sponge while being moist.

This muffin has easily gain "sinful pleasure" status. Usually Pumpkin Pie is my Fall favorite but now Pumpkin Pies and Target's Pumpkin Spice Muffins are my seasonal favorites.
