...and that was my weekend in a nut-shell. how was it? it was 40% disappointment and 60% hype  

yeah, pretty disappointed 'bout the result.  Other than that, had a lot of fun watching the race on Kayo. First time I've ever used it. the news 'bout the diamond and pearl remakes made up for what would've been a bad weekend. I said it before and I'll say it again, the sport is a joke. Balance Of Performance NEEDS to be introduced. The way I see it, the sport is corrupt and they'll do everything they can so that Holden / GM wins. It's bloody stupid and apart from the fact that 50% is on paid subscription (which it shouldnt be in the first place), they give 'em an un-fair advantage. If they do a controversial move on the fords, they'll slip it under the rug. if ford tries to do the same manouver, oh, "drive-through penalty", and most recently: 

in 2018 when they introduced the brand new ZB "commodore" / Opel insignia:

'Oh, we're using light compositie body parts on our car and we didnt bother to tell competition so we could have an un-fair advantage, but that's okay, we're driving a holden, so the stewards / sport will let us have a free kick'

also...

'oh, we'll allow the fords to change the bonnet and roof to the light composite material'

what the f*ck is that? O.O that is not a solution to the problem. 

in 2019 when they introduced the Brand New Ford Mustang:

'Oh, it's going too fast. let's consistently nerf the car even tho the car was built to fit the rule book / specifications. it's a ford, they're always cheating. we must do everything in our power to stop em from winning cuz they're not supposed to win'

what a f*cking joke. see? this is what I like bout GT3. BOP needs to be ENFORCED in V8 Supercars. NOBODY wants to see red bull / triple 8 win. there are other teams in the sport. jesus christ... 

A perfect example of BOP being used was the Daytona 24 hours in January , where they added 10 Kilograms to the BMW M8 because they won the event 2 times in a row. that slowed em down so that the other brands could have a chance, not to mention the lack of entries in GT LM / GTE.

Well, good thing Gen 3 is just around the corner. hopefully they can get their head out of their arses and have some level of parity between the two.  

...and yes, I am aware bout the new designs they have for Gen 5. honestly, I'm not a big fan of it. IMO, it looks like a bootleg version of MLP made by the Europeans. Some of my friends on discord said it looks like disney / pixar made it. Yeah, I'm not a fan of modern CGI. (I still think it's the cheap and lazy method.) I mean, just look at this thing:

EUGH!!! I dunno bout you, but I think it looks DISGUSTING!!!  I'm gonna be brutally honest here: it's hard to look at. Really. it is.  hell, it gave me a head-ache yesterday...

Will I give it a chance? maybe. I'll watch the first couple of episodes of it and then make my judgement. Hell, I'd even go as far as saying the animation they had for Pony Life is better than this. (kinda funny how the designs received A LOT of critism when it came out, but at least these were digitally hand drawn, just like the show) 

A LOT of LOVE and CARE was put into FIM. (especially if you're talking bout twilight and her friends, and the fact it was digitally hand drawn. Lauren Faust based Twilight on herself when she was growing up and they were relatable. there was at least ONE of the mane 6 we could relate to) I dunno, maybe I'm being a lil too harsh and a part of me wants to give the show a chance, but these are my thoughts on the designs for G5. what are your thoughts? 

...other than that, I'm excited 'bout Godzilla: Singular Point and Godzilla VS Kong. cant wait to see those later in the year   I've heard Mechagodzilla is gonna be in the movie and I wanna see some more pics of Singular Point Goji. Really good time to be a Kaiju fan =P

I just hope my uncle has managed to find a digital copy of Godzilla 1985 and Godzilla VS biollante that is subbed / dubbed  the next time we'll meet up at his place will be easter, so that's bout a month away. I cant wait =D

...and last but not least, the Diamond and Pearl remakes. pretty happy they went with a Chibi artstyle. it's VERY retro and I LOVE it. It looks promising. I have a lot of questions as to how they're gonna handle this game / legendaries, but we'll just have to wait and see...
Originally, I wasnt gonna watch the live-stream, but I'm glad I did. ^^

...and Pokemon: Legends Arceus looks pretty interesting. I might give that game a chance. at the moment, I am a little sceptical.
For those of you who've stuck 'round long enough to read all of this and if you are a pokemon fan, what are your thoughts?  as for me? well...I had VERY low expectations when I started watching the stream, but now...I am hyped!!! ^w^ 
 

So how was YOUR weekend?
