Past
Happy times, Deimos will cherish those happy memories till his last breath.

Present
Extremely depressed recently, sought out consultation.

Future
Quite uncertain, need to seek consultation soon.

Regarding Blogging
Somehow, Deimos felt that he has networked nicely with a few fellow bloggers. You know who you are, no need for Deimos to highlight it again here.

Regarding post frequency, a blog post a day ought to keep Google happy.

Deimos needs to focus his time and attention on other matters now and from now onwards, his daily posts might only be daily diary summaries of his life, or whatever interesting stuff that he received via email forwards and worth sharing with others.

End transmission.

Have you watched Iron Man?

Deimos Tel`Arin — Thu, 08 May 2008 07:27:41 +0000

Overview
Deimos watched Iron Man yesterday night and would like to share some thoughts about it.

Before watching Iron Man
Deimos wanted to watch Iron Man on the big screens, especially after checking out the Iron Man trailer (courtesy of BaseGuardian) and yung. ‘s review or to be exact – recommendation to watch Iron Man in the cinemas.

After watching Iron Man
Deimos is real glad for watching Iron Man as he really enjoyed the movie.

Iron Man in Marvel Super Heroes

Yes, Iron Man can fly, in the coin op versus battle game as well as in the Iron Man movie.

Iron Man launching some sort of laser beam attack from his chest

Did Tony Stark perform a similar move like this in the movie? Those who already watched the movie should know.

Iron Man launching “Smart Bombs” in Marvel Super Heroes

No smart bombs in the movie, but there is a smart targeting system.

Iron Man unleashing an energy attack with his palm

Tony Spark used this ability to smack various things around in the movie.

Iron Man firing a missile or rocket

In the movie, the missile or rocket is much smaller and is fired from his arm instead.

Iron Man performing a kick?

Tony Stark did not use his legs to smack people about though.

Iron Man doing some … energy attack?

Tony Stark certainly did not do something like that in the movie.

Additional Scene after the end movie credits
Here is the additional scene for those who missed it.

1. Tony Stark went back home and found Nick Fury in the living room
2. Nick Fury was staring towards the window, then turns to tell Tony Stark that
3. He is not the only superhero in the world
4. Tony Stark asks who he is
5. Nick Fury says he is
6. “Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D, and I am here to talk to you about the Avengers Initiative.”
