Mebbles joins BMU!

Hi guys!

   ...I sense confusion; let me elaborate: I have been known as BMU's "anime consultant". There, now I bet some of you hard-core BMU followers and the like have at least some idea of who I am! *Laughs*

   I was huge into anime when each DVD cost about 30 dollars US back around the early 2000's, so I was into pretty new ones at the time. I also was getting some of the older-ish anime from the 90's on DVD for a better price (like some Gundam anime). Currently, I bought the Outlaw Star series and I am having a blast watching it again!

   Besides anime, at heart I am ultra big into video games! I really love the ones that involve awesome technology, space, and all kinds of sci fi goodness. One of my favorite video game franchises is Megaman (or Mega Man or Rockman, however you want to put it) and I am huge into the Megaman X series which takes place after the original Megaman series. The main protagonist in Megaman X is a blue robot guy named X that has human thoughts and emotions. X appears physically and mentally older than the older yet child-like blue robot of the previous series named Megaman (Megaman is often compared to Astro Boy).

   Here is one of my favorite songs of all time that's from Megaman X6 that was made into a video that has spoiler-y visuals and English subtitles:

P.S. - I also have started my very own blog recently. I cover games, toys and post my YouTube videos on it.

Edit: I am very happy happy to contribute directly to BMU! If you have any questions or comments, feel free to comment on this post and if I can respond to it, I'll do so!

Short Film: Telescope

Have you seen examples of the statement "Sometimes less is more"? Well with two onscreen actors and one voice, this film is about as minimalistic as it comes. But even though the cast is small the message is great. Here is what the copy describes the movie as, and let me tell you, it down plays the impact. Telescope is a great short film.  

 

Last Days on Mars Trailer

Have you heard about this one yet?  "Last Days on Mars"   if the trailer is any indication it surely is going to be one hell of a coaster ride!

As the copy states on the  IO9 site:

• The Last Days On Mars is a space thriller set, well, during the last few days of a crew's exploration of Mars.
•  "A group of astronaut explorers succumb one by one to a mysterious and terrifying force while collecting specimens on Mars."
