Injustice 2 GAMEPLAY Trailer

Hi Everyone,

Yeah I know, I already posted today, but I just found out the gameplay trailer for Injustice 2 dropped at E3 and oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh it is just one of those trailers that reverts you back to your young teen years and you sit there like "yeah!", "awww sweet", "Oh my god they have *insert character name here*",

For those that haven't yet seen it, here it is in all it's hi def glory...

Ordinarily this would be the bit where I rant about Superman and Batman but (excuse language), Fuck That Shit. The best parts of this trailer are the first appearances. We get to see Grodd, donned in his armour. We see Kara Kent (Supergirl) kicking ass and taking names. We get to see Atrocitus, which Mat was most looking forward to and damn, we are NOT disappointed. The Butcher (the being in the red power battery, if you're a Lantern fan you'll know what I'm trying to say here) looks like it's part of his Special move.

What I didn't expect, and it's a blink and you'll miss it sneaky peaky, is that they have Black Manta in this game. I'll be honest, I was so overwhelmed watching this trailer, I missed him on the first viewing and Mat was the one who was like "shit! did you see they have Manta?!".

That clip at the end though, man I love when they make Aquaman look badass. Let's be real for a moment kids. Aquaman really is a badass. So it's great to show that off in a game that will be seen by a wider audience than just the comic reading crowd. Yes, everyone SHOULD read the comics, but there is still that stigma...that's a story for another day.

So enjoy, let us know what you think in the comments, subscribe. You know the deal!

Stay Classy Puddins

Clothing Site Of The Month - We Love Fine



First Things First... this is NOT an ad. I haven't been paid to write this, I'm just genuinely a fan.
In case you haven't heard of this site before, let me give you the run down.
This is just as they say in the logo, it's by fans, for fans, which means that while they stock a lot of clothing for different fandoms, they are technically not "licenced" pieces.
That said, one of the great strong points of this site is that they allow artists to submit designs and they can be voted on to create a collection for a given fandom.

We bought a whole lot of t-shirts from them a few months back, but they have become the "site of the month" for their EXCELLENT customer service.

But on to the merch. Here's a few of the pieces we bought.....

For Mat... a lot of Transformers








For Me... 
in women's sizes. It's a fitted tee so I go a Medium (i.e. I size up so it fits better).
Got this one in a medium too so I could wear shirts underneath. It's a sheer fabric so...but how AMAZING is this design. I wonder if I could get away with wearing it around the office. Hmmm...


For Connor. Yep, they have Onesies and Kid/Toddler tees.

Sooooooooooo cute!
As you can see, they have some excellent designs. In the case of the Transformers shirts, there are a lot of "obscure references" as we call it in our house, which are the kind of shirts we like. A shirt that only a true fan of the series would fully understand (the sharkticonado shirt with the Quintessons is a perfect example).
Besides the design excellence and the HUGE RANGE, the customer service is unreal.
Mat wore the Sharticonado shirt once and when taking it off it tore around the collar. Not just a little bit, I mean a "no way we can repair this" kind of tear.
So I sent the photos of this (as shown) to the customer service team, just to let them know that they might have gotten a bad batch of shirts. I honestly wasn't expecting anything from them.

To my surprise I got a response within 12 hours which said the following....
"Hi Jamie,
We greatly apologize for the inconvenience, normally replacements/refunds are done if the item is returned within 30 days. We will go ahead and issue a replacement for the damaged item as a one time exception. Since you are located in Australia, the cost of returning will surpass the item cost and is not worth it, please discard the item as you see fit. Once your replacement shirt ships, an email with tracking information will be sent. Please let you know if you have any other questions or concerns, we remain at your service"

Wow. Seriously Wow. Lets face it folks, shipping from the US to Australia at the best of exchange rate times is like US$25-$45, so for them to do that for us was amazing. 

For that alone, they deserve this high praise on the interwebs.

ok, enough of my carrying on.

Happy T-shirt shopping my friends!

Clothes Site of the Month



Ok, since Mat has taken to writing HUGE posts, I thought I'd do an entry to even it out a bit.
So, I'm going to start a "site of the month" section of this blog.

LIVING DEAD CLOTHING
www.livingdead.com.au

I've been a purchaser of this site for a while now but recently they have majorly stepped up their geek game.
This site is mainly aimed at women, however they do have a few items for guys as well.

Some of their items are licenced, others they have sort of snuck past the copyright.
I was pretty impressed they secured the Firefly licence, and the items were pretty good. I got the dress below:


Pretty sweet right?

They also have a Simpsons licence, and while I'm a HUGE fan of The Simpsons, I'm not overwhelmed by the art they chose for their pieces.

Ok, so why is this brand so good?


  • Australian Made and Owned (love that)
  • Sizing isn't ridiculous (pretty spot on) and the fabric is both comfy and stretchy
  • Fabric doesn't go see through, especially a plus with leggings
  • The obscure geek pieces (seriously, who remembers Cardcaptors?)
  • Great returns policy
  • They ship internationally
  • The designers have a great sense of humour



Pretty much everyday they have a 24 hour piece. These to me are the most interesting.
There have been some really obscure pieces that while I haven't bought, they have made me giggle.
For example:


And tell me these Marvel pieces aren't bad ass! I missed out on this release sadly


Today I was compelled to write this post, as they released a onesie that I just HAD to have.



I mean, how could I NOT?!
I will be one comfy Super Saiyan this winter. Mmmmmmmm.

As long as they keep making quality geeky clothes, I'll continue buying. So far, so good!

Ok, now bub has woken up, I shall leave it there.

Til next time...
