Regular Blog #5 Toy Time Reviews (EQ #2)

Hello there I am The Lazy Canadian and welcome to Toy Time Reviews, the show where I review 2 toys and decide which is better. I decided to start this segment because it was December and some people still need to buy toys for their kids. Also it's for a project... but who cares.

I'll be reviewing The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Marvel Legends Spider-Man 2 figure, and the Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures.

I'll start with Teenage Mutants Ninja Turtles. These figures are all really good there are some problems but i'll talk about them after I say what they come with. They come with weapons and holders on their backs.

               



















  TMNT


PROS


  • Good articulation 
  • Good colors on each Turtle
  • Good plastic
  • Good weapon materials
  • Good head sculpts
  • No parts re-used on the figures
  • Flat feet
CONS
  • Weapons same paint
  • Back of bandannas fall off easily
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Marvel Legends

PROS

  • Good Paint 
  • Good articulation 
  • Good toy material
  • Flat feet
  • Good head sculpt
  • Attention to detail
  • Take out hands easily and put others in easily
  • Easy to pose
CONS
  • Fire piece isn't very strong
Now what I mean by Fire piece isn't strong is, if you put it on something big it will take that form and won't change back. The green arm is apart of Green Goblin, if you buy all the sets in that series you can put it together to make a really cool figure.


I made this guy and he looks sick. I'd rate the Spider-Man 2 figure a 4/4, sure there was the fire piece but that didn't affect the figure it self. It is a must buy for any fan or collector of spider-man.

For the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles i'd rate it a 3.4/4 because the headbands fall off but, keep in mind i've only seen Leonardo (blue) and Raphael (red) with there head bands broken. Also I wish the weapons were not painted one color.

Well that concludes Toy Time Reviews episode 1, I hope you enjoyed the review I'm The Lazy Canadian and I approve this message, and I'll A B C YA!

Regular Blog #4 Naruto Review (Manga) NO SPOILERS

So today I will be reviewing the Naruto manga. I'll be explaining what it is and all that jazz.

NARUTO

Naruto is an anime and a manga. Manga is a Japanese graphic novel read from the right side of the book to the left, so it's read back to front. The only reason they don't switch it when they translate it is so the pictures look the same. Anime is usually a Manga turned into a anime. Anime is basically a Japanese cartoon that can be translated to English but, in the original Japanese version it has English Sub Titles.

Naruto is a great adventure book, it has an interesting story line, unique and original characters and names, great artwork, great character development and a completely new subject. I say subject because it's not strongly based off of one thing, i'm not sure it is even based off of something.

I'm going to list some pro's and con's of this book.

PRO'S

  • Unique Characters/Names
  • Interesting story line
  • Great artwork
  • Great character development
  • New topic for a book
  • Great covers
CON'S
  • Some action scenes are hard to follow
Over all this is a great series that I really enjoy. I'd rate this a 3.8 out of 4. Next time i'll be reviewing the Attack On Titan manga. I'm The Lazy Canadian and I approve this message! I'll A B C YA!

Regular Blog #3 You Can Now Attend Hogwarts!! (EQ #1)

http://sourcefed.com/you-can-now-attend-hogwarts/

So hello there I am The Lazy Canadian and i'm here to tell you that you can... wait for it... attend Hogwarts! I don't really care for Harry Potter but I think it's really cool that this has finally
 happened ! You can go to a castle that looks amazing. If you want to see this beut I'll try to find a picture of it and post it at the end but if I can't then click the link at the top of the page for some pics.

So this school...or castle is located in Poland, the cost to attend this school is $345. The school will start this April and you will be staying at the Czocha Castle, or Hogwarts for all the nerds which I am, I mean that would be really cool to say. This is a fan made school for those who would like an additional 3 years of schooling after Hogwarts. Now at this school there are five different houses, which I believe are teams of some sort, but i'm not very sure. The teams are Durentius, Faust, Libussa, Molin and Sendivogius. I don't know what they mean but, i'm sure it has to do with Harry Potter, or are words that are Polish.

People will have to pass things called S.P.E.L.L's which are Senior Protective Enchanter’s Lifelong License. I believe they are testing people about their knowledge of potions from the book series and movie's Harry Potter. The program itself will be taught in English and you must be at least 18 years of age to attend. So basically it's college.
This is the school















Now I have some questions about this.

How long did it take to build this?
How many people have signed up for this?
Will people be able to attend Hogwarts again or just once?
Who is teaching this school, and how would you be able to teach here?

Our EQ (Essential Question) is How can research ensure consumers are receiving reputable goods and services? I have to say how I think this is related to our EQ. 

 Well these people are going to make a lot of money. Harry Potter has a huge fan base and people have been wanting to go to Hogwarts for a long time. These people would have to had research what people would want if Hogwarts was real and what the would want to learn. There are multiple websites to see this and it wouldn't be hard to find. So they would buy equipment with the money they receive and buy foods people would want and bam! They would make tons of money! Now let me explain. They use the money they receive to get foods and equipment for everything, now they lose money by doing this but gain it all back when they sell merchandise and food, and books and i'm sure there'd be movies about Harry Potter there.

So ya that's my answer, I hope you enjoyed my In The News thing, I'm The Lazy Canadian and I approve this message! Will any of you be attending Hogwarts?

Regular Blog #1 GET TO DA POEMS

Well hello there, it has been quite some time. Today i'm doing some poems, i'll be analyzing some and writing some in the formats down there

Haiku

Limerick
Acrostic
Diamante

So i'll start off with reviewing and analyzing some poems.

Lets start off with Pokemon of course!

Songwriters: John Siegler;Tamara Loeffler


1.I want to be the very best                             

Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause        

2.(I will travel across the land

Searching far and wide
Each Pokemon to understand
The power that's inside)

3.Pokemon gotta catch them all its you and me

I know it's my destiny
Pokemon, oh, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
(Pokemon, a heart so true
Our courage will pull us through

4.You teach me and I'll teach you

Pokemon, gotta catch 'em all)

5.Every challenge along the way

With courage I will face
I will battle every day
To claim my rightful place

6.Come with me, the time is right

There's no better team
Arm in arm we'll win the fight
It's always been our dream

I think it's about Ash wanting to greatly succeed in being a Pokemon master and having people look up to him, but he still has lots to learn from his friends and his Pokemon. He's on his way to make his dream a reality. 


Some words i'll define so you could understand the song/poem better. Lets open up the LazyDex.


LazyDex


Destiny, the events that will necessarily happen to a particular person or thing in the future.

Pokemon, a video game, card game, or other toy featuring certain Japanese cartoon characters.


Now lets talk about some images that went in my mind while reading this. I numbered each section so I could talk about each section and have it easier to look at. So lets start with section 1


1. I thought of Rocky Balboa Training and fighting people in the ring. Also I thought of Red and Ash training Pokemon and battling.


2. I thought of someone looking for Pokemon and studying them in their natural habitat.


3. I thought of a trainer and a Pokemon hurt and taking care of each other.


4. I thought of a trainer and a Pokemon learning attacks and skills from each other.


5. I thought of someone not accepting to lose and winning a battle.


6. I thought of a trainer with a team of Pokemon all together.


Now there is a rhyming pattern in the song in every verse.

1. Best and Test, Was and Cause
2.Land and Understand, Wide and Inside
3. Me and Destiny,Friend and Defend, True and Through
4. Not long enough to have a pattern
5.Way and Day, Face and Place
6.Fight and Right, Team Dream


The Road Not Taken

BY ROBERT FROST
1.Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;


2.Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,


3.And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.


4.I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.


1.He had to make a choice, The two roads are the one is good choice and the bad choice.
2.When he took one path he's talking about what happened when he took it.
3.He's saying he doubt's he took the right path and wants to go back.
4.Now he's telling people about him going on the wrong path, the one less traveled bye,  and how it's made the difference.
The rhyming pattern is A,B,A,A,B.


And now I will be writing 4 poems.

The Clearest Day

I see now, this day,
Your either the butcher or the cow,
You can't spend the day and play,
You have to fight, for your right,
The world was so confusing,
Now I find it amusing,
I can't believe I never saw,
That the world was making a new law,
And if you do not agree,
They will take thee,
And they will be,
Under that there tree,
Waiting for Death to be,
This Day,
Was,
The Clearest Day.

Beautiful

Describes this day,
Sun is shining,
Kids aren't wining,
This day is peaceful,
Some may say beautiful,
We say perfect,
They never suspected it,
Guns ready,
People in Place,
Don't hesitate,
They won't,
FIRE!
FIRE!
FIRE!
Yup... Beautiful.

ATTACK
Peaceful day,
Gone away,
On the wall,
Over 15 meters tall,
He's here to stay,
We cannot fight,
We must abandon hope,
NO!
NO!
MOM!

ON
Your all cowards,
You looked death in the eyes and ran away,
We could stay,
We could fight,
I'd give it all my might,
Why must we leave,
He's still alive,
And HE WILL DIE!
I'LL KILL THEM ALL!
I WONT REST UNTIL THEY ARE ALL DEAD!

TITAN
Stay calm,
Stay together,
Fight them,
Remember our goal,
There he is,
Time for revenge,
The time has come, 
Lets do this.

Thank you for stopping bye for the first Regular Blog, I hope you enjoyed your stay. I'm TheLazyCanadian and i'll ABC YA!
