Countdown to Nirvana: ~Versus to XV~ A Trailer Retrospective

XV days to go! We're almost there!

COUNTDOWN TO NIRVANA: Inktober Special - Day XV

I finally got around to feeling ready to carefully craft the XVth picture in my Inktober saga.



1 month and less than a half a week to go.

The Necalli Scrub Saga SPECIAL: Road to Silver - The Karin Gauntlet

It's as if the Street Fighter gods themselves didn't want me to make it to Silver! What kinda nonsense is this?! Check out this special episode of the Necalli Scrub Saga and find out!

Continuing undeath!

I couldn't have put it better myself.

Despite beliefs and rumors to the contrary (and a solid year+ of inactivity) the eternal engine that is Stuffimus Maximus soldiers on!

The theory is that this time I will be able to finally get it together and start making content on a semi regular basis again. Now, true, I've been a liar many times before, and there is little assurance that this time will be any different. But I figure as long as I keep trying, something's gotta give somewhere, right?

Right!

So, let's make with some updates!

• Beat Dark Souls II and Bloodborne. Had great fun with both, and have cemented my eternal fandom to the souls series
• On a related note, Dark Souls 3 is nearing release, and is supposed to be the end of the Dark Souls saga. It looks amazing, the beta was hella fun, and y'know, stuff. I need it. Totally pre-ordered the collector's edition, and I really want the collector's edition strategy guide cause it comes with an Estus Flask! But I can't justify paying 130 for that...
• I never did get around to playing the DmC reboot. So much for that.
• Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition lived up to many expectations and fell short of some, but what that all comes down to is Vergil's awesomeness has not decreased in the slightest. Like, not even a little bit.
• I... As I write this, I remember now that I completely forgot about Winter-Een-Mas. I am a failure. Blarghl...
• In less depressing news, Pokemon Sun and Moon were just announced, and I have no idea which one I'm gonna pick! I generally always pick the "Blue" version game, but... Praise the Sun... WHAT DO?!
• Beat Uncharted 1 and 2, getting ready to work on 3
• Recording most of my Street Fighter V games, so I might start uploading those to el U-Toob channel.
• Have been playing Phantasy Star Online 2 like a madman, and may need admittance to some sort of center for rehabilitation for my addiction. Possibly. Maybe.
• My Holy Game Trinity of Sonic the Hedgehog, Ryu and Cloud Strife have all made it into Smash Bros. My life may be on the verge of completion.

That about covers the important stuff that I can remember (It has been a year...)

So  on to the continuing saga of Final Fantasy.

FFX: FFX may be one of the best games I've ever played. All of my feels, feels everywhere. While the undying fanboy within will not let me have the game as my favorite FF, it is certainly the best as far as I'm concerned. 9.5/10

FFXI: I finally made a character!

FFXII: I'm trying to slog through this. I really am. The lore is cool, and I like the world itself. But Ebony Jesus Cristo, this game is boring as watching paint dry. No score for now, but I don't have high hopes.

And with those out of the way, the most important piece of FF news is that XV will have its release date revealed at the end of this month...

I am not ready. I don't think I can be ready. But I will be in LA to see the reveal with my own two eyes. May God have mercy on my soul.

At some point in the near future, I'll be posting about my plans with StuffMax going forward, but as far as reviews go, my next planned review will be Dark Souls 3! Plenty of time for me to gear up to actually commit and do it!

Let's hope this works out!

Guest Vid!

So, my bro John is gettin' into that online Street Fighter scene, (though he may lie to you and attempt to tell you otherwise. You ain't low John.)

He started posting replay vids, and the ending for this one was just lovely, so, with permission, a-posted it goes, right here on StuffMax.

El Link!

Side note, much respect to the Fei-Long. I shall love Ryu and Ken until the end of days, but maaaaaaaan, am I tired of fighting them. Dat variety makes the soul happy.

Yep.

Happy New Year!

2012 has come and gone. It had it's ups and downs, but was overall a pretty righteous year. To celebrate the oncoming 2013, and the memories of 2012, here's a video of my year. A retrospective, if you will.

The Goodness 2012

Enjoy.

Oh, and just saying?

I survived the apocalypse. I want that on a t-shirt.

Yep.

Le Parkour!

So, I finally got around to cranking out a few videos representing myself and my friends doing the fine art of le parkour. Freerunning. Jumping on stuff. Whatever it is that you want to call it! Check em out.

The Summer Fling series.

Part 1: Cool Summer

Part 2: Flipside

And while we're at it, here be a link to the official StuffMax channel, on le U-TOOB.

Clicky!

Keep an eye out for part three. It be on it's way.

Yep.

Mission... Complete!

And so Stuffimus Maximus presents it's first Anime/Animated Music Video!

Finally!

A 20th Anniversary Tribute to the Blue Blur. Pretty damn late, but better late than never.

Enjoy.

(In case you missed it, the "Finally!" was the link. Just "saiyan".)

Finally! (Tribulation's End)

And so, as of 2 days ago, I have finally defeated the wall of evil stopping my attempt to complete this damn AMV. I am pleased beyond belief. Soon enough, it shall be on the U-TOOB, and I will be able to end this thing once and for all.

Update to come once the upload is complete.

WHYYYY?! (The trials and tribulations of the AMV.)

So my intent was to be able to post a new AMV on my U-toob channel in order to create some diversity on this here blog. The problem with this plan is that I have a distinct need to use computers that are not in fact my own to do absolutely anything computer related.

Mostly because my computer is a smouldering pile of uselessness.

And so is my laptop.

But moving on!

Utilizing my brother from another mother's laptop, I crafted an AMV of magnificent quality! One that tingled my pride in spectacular ways! I only had about the last 8 seconds to fill, and I would be home free. So, I figured I could take a break, then finish it later. The bro took his laptop home for a while, and I was under the assumption that all would be well when it was all over.

Depressingly enough, his laptop has become virus ridden, and now won't boot up.

Fuck.

Ah well. 'Tis a minor delay. With any luck, we can recover the data, and carry on as if nothing happened.


I hope.

AMV coming soon.

In the stretch of time between karate chopping my writers block repeatedly so I can get on writing the next review, I've started work on a new AMV. Hopefully, I can have it up soon. That would be nice.

Yep.

A recommendation!

So from time time, I've decided it would be cool to show some videos that I think are cool, and/or my friends have made and posted. This is a case of the latter. My bro, MrSquallKennedy, a U-TOOB! AMV artist, has created a Leon Scott Kennedy tribute that I love, in honor of many things, including his 5 year AMV creating anniversary, and Leon's inclusion in Resident Evil 6. So check it out!

Yep.

Top 10 lists? And other stuff.

So I've been trying to figure out what topic/subject/activity I should kick my oh so stunning blog off with. I've narrowed it down to two choices; A top 10 list, though I'm not quite sure what the list is going to be about, or a few video game reviews, considering the plethora of games that have come out over the past month worth talking about.

But until I've decided what I'll actually be doing, I'll just post random stuff, I guess.

SO!


Here's a link to my U-TOOB channel! Yep, that's what I'm posting today. That channel consists of AMVs at the moment, but I intend to add more shit at some point in the future.

Yep. That's about it.
