Damsel of the Month:

Deviating from the idea of January's "Damsel Prospects" plan.

Name: Ada Wong

Game/Series: Resident Evil

CMP

Some Words: While she is not part of the list of 'redo', Ada was in dire need of one though. Her "Damsel of the Month" post prior to this one was rather lackluster and I do believe it was my first one. So, fitting that she gets a redo. So what's new with Ada since her first Damsel post? Well not much honestly. At least, not in the way that I care that much about. She just recently joined ranks for Resident Evil 6 and I did a review on that one; it was a messy game. And yes, for those who are new to the blog, I used to do Gaming Reviews! I don't game as much to do one so, yeah. At any rate, I won't redo the details on Ada's back ground but I will talk about her bondage; which is what this is about!

DrewGarner

Ada Wong is a spy that has been a thorn in Leon's side for decades. I won't get heavy into the details but I do believe that they have a thing going on... but let's not dwell on that sappy love story since we all know that Ada just looks damn hot in bondage.

She had two official bondage scenes and neither of them are really that 'great' per say, but at last it goes to show that she is willing to be on the ropes (or unwilling).

Dani1202

Then there's her REVI look which I liked. Not her most popular one though I think but it boosted enough DiD fan arts.

HeartGear

She also has a scene with Helena Harper thanks to the artist above.

Carboon

This is her bread and butter outfit. She also had her FIRST official bondage scene in that fitter; youtube it. BUT Carboon did add a crotch rope; nicely done I say.

Killboring

Natsuko-Hiragi/LOZ

Then of course an artwork done by none other than LOZ himself; a gift for a friend of his in the DA realm who does cosplay bondage.

So at any rate, there wasn't much flare to this aside from adding more bondage pics of Ada Wong. She looks good in it and she does dress up for the occasion; doesn't hurt that she already has two official scenes, not great, but official. So yeah.

JULY... hhhmmmmm.

Rage: Start Again

I messed up tonight.

I lost another Fight.

I still mess up.

I'll just start again.

A world where there is no conflict. A day where I don't have to fight. A minute where I don't have to warm up. A second when I don't have to dodge.  

When is it really over? When do I just try and pick up what is left and we all just set aside our pride, our differences, our disdains, worries, strife and hate. When do we face our reflection and see what is missing and what is foretold? When do we realize that we all have our mistakes and we all have fallen so far from grace? 

When do we stop fighting? 

When do we live again? 

Life is far too short, far too volatile, and so full of things to enjoy to just wallow in defeat, in rage, and to not have ownership, loyalty, or any kind of honorable meaning. 

The fight has perpetuated for far too long and we have lost what was and what is. It's on all of us, not just one, it's in all. 

I am not articulated with these words. I am a creation of doubt and despair. I was created to fly so high that we leave the world below....

But now I am as I am. Lacking victory... seeing only the destruction that this war has created. 

When do we give in? When do we admit? When do we get up and decide that we won't fight anymore?

When do we start again? 

Masterless and Rage: In The Wake Of

Sentiments. Salutations. All are met with silence. I was always told that acknowledgement on the most grand of day must always have a reply of some sort of gratitude. Something so small is the most common courtesy shared by all men, virtuous or not. 

I agree. But perhaps your Civil War has destroyed a lot more than what was willing to be endured. Perhaps at the end, the battle was not worth it.

It wasn't "MY" Civil War you know. I didn't attack. I defended. I was defending to keep the integrity of one of my last pillars up. 

It was a battle you already knew you won, you know. It was something that you didn't need to defend because you knew what was and what wasn't. 

Perhaps. Perhaps not. But at the end of the day I proved my point. 

Yes you did.... but that ultimatum came with a price. I'm surprised you didn't give in to it. 

Because your definition shows change. Your definition showed her hands, her faults,  and constantly tries to be better even if bad habits are still about her... like they are with us. At the end, I saw no reason to agree. 

We have some reasons to let her go too, you know.

Are you insinuating that we should? 

Isn't that what you wanted? For you and your other to cut ties to the empire and finally just be you and her? She gave you that option, that road. It was there for the taking, and yet you did not do it.

In the wake of all the debacles, I came to realize that you are a pivotal part of the lifestream. You are a reason as much as you are a definition now. Besides, it was another point to show that she and I are similar in so MANY abysmal ways. Something that no pride, no cape, no cowl, no plots, not a hero or a villain can take away from us. 

So what now? In the wake of all this fighting, this is what we have. 

You get silence from that side. Perhaps it's time for you to really stop worrying and count your losses. 

Or perhaps it's time that is needed to heal.

Don't be naive. Pride does not allow one to walk on two legs when one has breathed the clean air. You're not that kind of amazing person, so don't fool yourself.

....... perhaps. Perhaps not. What about you? What will you do now? Will you finally fix your side while you leave me to my own? Will you finally be at peace with what you have gained here? Are the shattered pieces enough to sate your hunger? 

Don't be a fool. This was not what I wanted.

It's what you perpetuated. 

I was not the only one. But regardless. I will fix my side and continue to see where my road takes me. I will leave you be and perhaps this might be one of the last of our conversations for a while. 

That's good, you know.

I agree. When we meet... it usually means that there is turmoil. Rest easy, then. 

You as well. 

Oh and if you find a way, or discover it's just 'time'... or when you get the true answer of finality, expect a 'I told you so'. 

With you, I already know.

After some Consideration

I know July is rolling by and it's the month where it is 'meant' for me. I had a few things in my sights like these Marvel Legends:

Actually, they weren't JUST in my sights, they were preordered as the list right there states. Both waves come out on July. But as I looked at the preorders, my "big" purchase on September, the fact that I have commissions lined up, the fact that I don't have time to review AS MANY figures and Marvel Legends haven't had the same 'wow' factor as they used to, I do believe it's time for me to REALLY be exclusive with these. That's not to say I won't jump to grabbing these in the future... IN THE FUTURE, but not in a time when I have to really focus my funds in different direction of my hobbies all at once. Gaming is about to start again and I am still doing cover arts for my writing. That and, I do have other priorities.

EDIT: I will wait for some reviews to see if they are REALLY worth it. The "Spider-Verse" shelf does need Silk and "Spider-Bitch" in there.

And I need time for other things since reviewing DOES take some of my time. With all that said, I did add two more on the list that I am ambivalent about:

Deadpool is a bit IFFY since it is Revoltech. The last time I received a Revoltech in my collection I was slightly disappointed so.... yeah. But this one looks really good so we will see. Samus is not coming out until January so I have some leeway with her. Suffice to say, I think I'll be safe and I think I will TRULY appreciate the Legends after I figure some things out. Also, I'm RUNNING out of space! I need to consolidate and reorganize my Game Room here. That takes time! But I know just the imports together costs ONE of the BAF wave, but honestly, the quality and the detail and the fun factor on imports are way more gratifying. That and they don't take as much space.

SO after some SERIOUS thinking, I think cancelling my preorder on the BAFs is a good idea. It's more funds and that's just liberal spending that I can't really do wisely right now with other things I need to take care of. Unless I win a ton of money somewhere then I don't have to worry.....

Masterless: At One Point

There was a point when everything was colored in. There was a point when I felt that I could rely on the words "Don't worry about tomorrow". At one point I believed and just as long as we were what we were, we could take on the world.

But that was a fairy tale when all of my sins are forgiven. When I would have been able to redeem myself and given another chance to perhaps be something.

I guess it wasn't supposed to be. You just laid out all of 'what I have done' just to point it out--just to call me out but in the end it didn't matter if I would fight or not. It didn't matter what I could have done because when it was happening, you already found that 'amazing' someone. Already decided you were going to change and move on and leave me to wonder: 'what the hell could I have done better?'.

I was left with the pieces of eternity, left for me to decipher and mourn.

I guess that's just it. You won't see me cry, I'm hiding inside. Or, I'm going to have to now. Even when I know at the end of the day the sentiments are still my own. People judge, claim knowledge when they have no idea what you and I went through. They don't know what was between you and me and what we did inside those 'happy moments'. But they judge. They claim. Because that's what people do. I guess that's for me to take on too because I know you won't be there anymore.

So I often wonder if that 'one point' in my life... if I took that away and left it with 'what could have been', would life for me be better?

It would have been, I'm pretty sure. To have been how I see myself as... to be 'something' rather than 'this'. But the problem is, that would have came with a heavy price. A price that would have taken me out of what today means....

I don't know if I can take that consequence anymore. Maybe she and I will color those spots together... maybe when I see her take every step, better and smarter than I did... maybe it means that everything breaking MEANT something.

I guess we'll find out as the years roll by. 

POP: Supergirl(original)

Another POP addition to my collection. This time it's Supergirl. Now I'm not going to get too heavy with the Supergirl lore(I'm not 100% up to snuff with her histories, but I do know a couple about her different versions). This one can probably be considered as her 'classic', red skirt and all too 'superman' similarity with her top. Believe it or not, this particular version is one of the original superheroes in the Cinematic Universe. Anyways, let's get on with the figure.

Nothing new with the box. I'm pretty sure I'm not touching the rest of the set here, but for DC fans who collect POP, this is probably a good assembly.

Much like the comics in her time, Supergirl's costume is bright, simple shading, and almost conservative; still doesn't make sense that a girl capable of flight would be wearing a skirt. But regardless, it does capture her essence; make me realize though that there is a lack of blue or maybe it's her POP version that makes it look like that. The emblem on her chest is well done, as one can see. Definitely completes the costume. Kara didn't really go through a change in her emblem(from what I can see)

Back in the day, Kara was seen with both long straight blonde hair AND the short waves. Personally, to further distinguish between her 'classic' and 'cheerleader modern' version, I think it was a good idea to pick this hair style.

Now like most POP figures I get, she has the articulation on her neck(no bobbling, however).

Just for some comparison, here is Supergirl next to some of my other POPS(Daryl Dixon, Daedric Warrior, Alduin, and Coronation Elsa).

And here she is next to the ONLY DC POP I own at the moment. Wow, what a contrast in color schemes, yeah?

Finally got another DC POP! With the growing films DC has, I'm sure I'll be catching more of these guy along the way. I know Harley Quinn's set will be growing. All in all, I adore Kara's presence in my game room as a POP! She definitely brightens my DC Shelf(lacking space here!).

E3 2016: My LIST!

It's that time of the year! As much as I don't have the time to game, I still delve into the world and made a list for myself~ With my ps4 in the horizon, it's only justified if I take a gander at what I would want to get my hands on..... SO....

E3 is on again and now we are going to have a wave of games that we either care about, or we don't. Personally, Final Fantasy is in the horizon but SKYRIM REMASTERED?! Yeah, that's something I am MOST definitely excited about! MODS! Muramasa and Onyx in details! 

Then we have Injustice 2. I am definitely excited with Supergirl's introduction! Hopefully we get classic SKINS! Jim Lee Supergirl?! 

Then there's a Spider-Man game. what's up with that huge logo on his chest? 

YES! Of course this game as well! Only thing that rivals this is Skyrim Remastered! I'm not sure about the VR experience though but everything else looks amazing! 

Then this one looks interesting. Is God Of War going Skyrim like? Or something? Looks kind of cool though, I have to say. But Valhalla? 

Then there's this game. It's pretty unique looking. Reminds me of Skyrim. Yeah there is a trend. Anything Skyrim looking I'm down.

YES. YES. YES! Of course!

Well, as of right now, that is the only thing in my sights. Kingdom Hearts 3 and of course Final Fantasy VII MIGHT be on the announcement list and if that is the case, I will be updating this list. In the meant time.... I have a pretty good list here. And that doesn't even include the things I will be getting as backlog games like Disgaea 5, Batman Arkham Knight, Tomb Raider, Fallout 4, and Street Fighter V just to name a few. 

Jada Toys: Diecast Harley Quinn Suicide Squad

Well this is officially the first of the mamy(as I predict) of my Harley Quinn Suicide Squad Cinematic Version that we are going to be seeing in my collection. It's no secret that I ABSOLUTELY adore how she looks in the movie. Robbie Margot may not be the 100% pick in a lot of people's book, but I think there is something to be seen in her. So, let's get into the figure then, shall we?

The box is neat. It's a diecast metal so the thing is heavy. Just aesthetically speaking, there is a lot of vibrant shout outs to the movie's theme so anyone who just do mint in the box definitely has something to ogle over.

The one thing too is that the box showcases a couple of variants for Harley for the figure. I'm not sure if these variants are going to be shown in the movie or not, but it's a neat little fix. I am interested in at least one of the variants; for those who despise her movie look that is shown, I think the variants would be a nice mix. They are close to the 'classic' look.

The "resemblance" isn't too striking, but then again the figure isn't SUPPOSED to be immaculate to Robbie Margot. But for a little thing such as this, it has some decent details. The different color on her legs from the rest of her skin implies the fishnets she wears; wish they painted that on though.

Paint is pretty good. They got the writing on her bat and jacket pretty well.

Some up close detail on that.

And there is a close up on her face.

All in all, this is a pretty cool figure. Nothing spectacular or must have but it is in my alley so I decided to take her. I am projecting more than a few Harley Quinn paraphernalia coming up within the next few months so... yeah! Also, I know I have been sparse in my collecting endeavors but I DO BELIEVE it will change pretty soon here with some prospects getting closer to their 'due date'. Pretty soon I'll have too many figures to review and not enough time on my hands! 

Masterless and Rage: "Nature"

"What is better: to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?" 

I'm sorry, was that question for me?

A Great Dov once said asked that to a particular person that was either meant for heroic things or... fall into atrocious acts of avarice and self gain. I guess that part is up to the whim of the player.

Oh I remember. So what is the point of this? I hope you are aware that I am so tired of fighting nowadays. I just ... I just want to see where this all goes without constantly fighting and fighting and fighting.

That's the problem. There will ALWAYS be fighting when one challenges something that he does not understand. Claims grounds BEFORE his existence. Heroes in a group with three VERY selfish people who are TRYING through GREAT EFFORT to be better...... yeah. One is just BORN good because of fortunate programming. One doesn't even have to try and he is serenaded with bliss and praises of good because people just see him as 'good' outside your group. There is no enduring in that. That is just vanilla pre-programed notion. It's like playing Skyrim as A Nord and following EXACTLY how the Nord default player is supposed to be. 

Why does it bother you so much? You know what she has for you. You know she loves you and he is only just a brick in the wall. Might be a bit decorated, but a brick is a brick regardless. Replaceable, expendable, and in the end, NOTHING like you. 

You know your definition would NOT have done what she did without you, right?

Of course I know that, stupid. It's just... I'm tired of fighting. Let one have the victory and belief of something even though it's quite obvious of what is and what isn't. I'm not that naive. I may want peace, but I'm not that naive. I am still the bonds that defines the team. And I know that without me, things would have fallen apart a LONG time ago and my little Kitten would have left... hell she almost decided to abandon the idea of that side. She was close to, actually.

And yet here comes the moronic hero thinking he knows her too. Funny if this is read because he'll use this as a means of us stabbing the idea of peace. Here's an idea. If one hates alcohol, why go to a damn bar? Anyways... "can't move past mistakes', I quote... least we see our damn mistake and don't claim we are so perfect. We try every damn day to be better while this one thinks it's a victim circle. Puts contingence on you and your definition because he didn't do anything wrong. He neglects the idea that he wasn't good enough for your definition and fought and challenged you when all you needed was someone to help you point at a direction to fight for. You want peace? This is a two way redemption. It's not just on you.. on us. This will only work if BOTH seek to be better. This one just seeks an apology in the form of actions not words and he is to dull to admit it that it's what he wants. Too self righteous. 

Lots of things said that seems promising. I'd like to think that despite the heroic antics, there is some truth to the words that was said on his part. I felt emotions on some of those words. It touched me. I ... I really want to start healing the broken grounds and mend the team. My Team. It's possible... this is just the ... biggest wall.

Well, I have yet to see some truth to it. Again, here we are trying through great effort to be better than what we are.... but here he is just merely sitting there just 'good' because he doesn't know anything else but good. I hope he gets hit in the head with a brick on the way to work and wakes up with a gigantic bump in the head. It might remind him that sometimes, life is real below the clouds.

You are cynically troubled, you know that? This I might add is an example of making it hard to gain peace. 

If I had the means I would be using my fist. But.... yeah not this lifetime. But tell him to quit thinking he has everyone figured out with his analytical views of 'she's afraid because of this and that' and the whole 'she'll shut you out plain and simple'... that kind of talk is why your Kitten gets rubbed the wrong way. Arrogance and walking on clouds that aren't even his. He learns to be human, then maybe, JUST maybe, this side will see him from something else than a self-indulging 2-dimensional, self righteous hero.
