AMV Spotlight of the Week

This is another post from April. I was at a convention in Denver, CO this year and I was an audience member for the AMV contest. This particular video was in the comedy category and I died from laughter 50 times through the whole thing. It was the only true funny one on the category and by far the best all around. Though I did not get to see the results I have no doubt that this video did very well. 🙂

Thanks to YouTuber “BestAMVsOfAllTime1″ for the following AMV that was created by MysteriousRyder.  The song is Nice Guys Finish Last” performed by Chester See, KevJumba, and Ryan Higa and is edited around scenes from Fullmetal Panic! and Fumoffu.

Star Wars Detours Trailer

I wanted to wait until this was premiered, but so far they haven’t released a date.  Most people have probably seen it, but that’s alright it’s a fun trailer.  So here we go, Star Wars Detours will be the next animation series out from LucasFilm.  Thanks to YouTuber “starwars” for the trailer:

Batman Lego Movie Trailer

HeroClix to Distribute Holiday Characters

WizKids is bringing out three 2012 HeroClix Seasonal Holiday Figures.  They will be: Hobbit Holiday Elf (for the upcoming Hobbit game); Mephisto (for the Marvel HeroClix game); and White Lantern Batman (for the DC HeroClix game).  There is no release date yet.  Therefore, your library’s gaming fans might want to hit their local hobby store and see if they can reserve a set.  This would even be a cool set to use as a give-away if your library sponsors gaming tournaments with HeroClix.
