Hey folks! Long time no post. Sorry about that. The holidays left with not a lot of free time. And then some other shit happened. But anyways the new year happened and with another year comes new games, movies, and other things to look forward to in 2012. What am I looking forward to? Follow the jump to find out (unless you don’t care, that is).
Before I say anything let me say that this isn’t a complete list of everything I am looking forward to in 2012. I’m sure I’m going to miss one or two things. but off the top of my head here’s the thing’s I”m looking forward to.
Films:
Hunger Games — I never read the book but I heard good things. Plus the trailer for it looks interesting.
The Cabin in the Woods — Joss Whedon wrote the screen play for this movie and I love Joss Whedon. It also stars Thor and Topher Brink from Dollhouse. Two dudes I also like.
The Avengers — Speaking of Joss Whedon and Thor, this is the movie I’m the most excited for. I’ve been waiting for this movie since Iron Man came out four years ago.
Prometheus — An Alien prequel? Yes, please. Trailer looks awesome.
The Amazing Spider-Man — I really enjoyed Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy. And I’m not the biggest fan of reboots. But I’m going to give this one a shot because I love Spidey.
The Dark Knight Rises — Bane’s voice is a little hard to understand in the trailer. But come on! The first two were awesome and this one is going to be no different.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey — I hear people calling bullshit because it got split into two movies. I say that we now have two amazing movies to look forward to.
Video Games:
Mass Effect 3 — This one is a no-brainer. Mass Effect is my favorite video game franchise. I look forward to finding out how it all ends. I can not wait til March 6 comes. But I have to try.
BioShock Infinite — I love BioShock. BioShock 2 was eh. And this game looks to be as awesome as the first. Everything I see from the trailers I love.
Resident Evil 6 — This was just announced this week. And all I have to say is Leon Kennedy is back! Oh yeah!
Other:
Fantasy Flight’s Star Wars related products – A card game and space battle miniature game were already announced last year and should be coming out sometime this year (hopefully soon). But what I’m also waiting for is an announcement for a Star Wars pencil-and-paper RPG. That hopefully will used the miniatures I just talked about.
That’s all I can think of right now. But I’m sure there’s a ton more I forgot about. What are you guys looking forward to?
