Revoltech Sci-Fi #041 Iron Man Mark V

Tony needed a suit which was both compact and portable. There is no way he is going to bring the entire mark IV suit around whenever he needs to go abroad. With that in mind, he design and create the Mark V.

Out-of-box content. I can count those accessories using just fingers from one side of my hand!

Articulation is pretty good.

Mark V has the best Iron Man suit design to date. It was consisted of interconnecting segmented part which was different compare to the older and some of the later model. The quality on the finishing is what you will learn to expect from Kaiyodo so try not to be picky about it. The articulation on the figure was great since most of the joints were not hindered. Overall, Mark V was definitely a nice addition to my Iron Man collection.

Enough is enough!

Some of you may ask, what actually happened to me or to be more precise to this blog starting somewhere around the end of April. Well, hell happened. No. Dont get me wrong, I am not talking about my girlfriend but I am talking about Diablo III.

I have spent quite a bit of time during the period of May to September playing Diablo III. Initially it was fun playing through all 5 classes but after putting countless hours into the game I found out that it was really really repetitive. I have been through the exact same map over and over again picking up crappy rares over and over again. There was basically nothing else for you to do once you have cleared Inferno difficulty and hit level 60 for your character besides grinding for the so called "uber" equipment which you will never see.

To make matter worse, the drop rates for "good" equipment was very very low. I have been playing for more than 300 hours in total but I have yet to find a set item to date. The script for the story was very very bad too as if it was ripped out from some third rate fantasy movies. I have actually read all the Diablo novel and they put the script in this game to shame. The only redeeming aspect of the game was the artwork and cinematic. Kudos to the team who were in charge with those.

I am glad this is finally over! Look! What this game has done to me! Or to be more precise my blog! I have enough with the Lord of Terror for now. I will not touch this game again until Blizzard patch up this mess of a game. Until then, may the Lord of Terror have mercy on your soul.
