New Transfomers: ROTF footage

Mike — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 06:48:19 +0000

In a small return to blogging I thought I would start off with some transformers news. Earlier today I saw some new transformers footage over at Seibertron so I thought I would share it with you all.

The footage is originally from Michael Bay’s website, I’m also giving a link to the Seibertron story as well because there are a lot of still shots there. Hopefully later tonight I should be making another post about more coding related stuff.

Edit (~approx 5:50pm NZ): Well I took the video off of this post because I didn’t have permission to show it, which is a bugger but meh. You can see the footage either here or here.

Edit 2 (6:10pm NZ): It would seem that the official versions of the video are being pulled from everywhere seibertron no longer can show it and there is no sign of it anywhere on Michael Bay’s site. luckily though I found it on youtube, who knows how long this one is going to last though.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen – Super Bowl Spot

Those who read my last blog (which all got wiped when I moved to the new server) would know I am a huge fan of the Transformers, I’m mostly G1 guy (though Beast Wars and Animated come in tied for a close second) and at the moment my preferred continuity is the IDW universe. In this mornings wandering around the internet I happened across the super bowl spot for the next transformers movie and all I can say is GLEE it looks awesome and I’m told that Soundwave and Ravage will appear (I’m pretty sure that Ravage is in the spot). Anyway I thought I would share the video with you all on the odd chance you don’t happen across it yourself.

Holiday

Today is my last day of work for this year, I have three weeks of holidays to look forward to. I’m going to see family for Christmas and it is looking increasing likely that I am going to end up at some random lake to catch up with a few friends for new years. The downside to this is thanks to my current living arrangement it means I’m going to all but drop off the internet for those three weeks, this isn’t a necessarily a bad thing though as it is going to give me a lot of time to work on gIDE.

I was hoping to have the first release of gIDE done before Christmas which is looking increasingly less likely, so much so that I’m not going to bother with it any more. There isn’t a lot that I have to get done before I’m happy to make a release, these will also be the first things on my list of things I am going to work on during my time off. In no particular order the features are:

Find/Replace
Project Properties
Generic Build System
Document split view

I’m also considering implementing a limited subset of vim commands, though I think I will wait until after this release in the hopes of getting some user feedback on what they think would be the most useful commands to include.

In other news I recently saw The Day the Earth Stood Still. To be honest I was not that impressed, the movie seemed to trying to get a message across but not succeeding, at times I even felt that the movie wasn’t overly sure what that message should be. The casting for the movie however was spot on, especially with Keanu Reeves. Also a couple of days ago I recommended that you go read Pictures of You by Gibson Twist, from there I got linked to another webcomic of his which I enjoyed. So if you enjoyed Pictures of You you might also want to check out Our Time in Eden.
