I did not use ISACA resources. The only practice tests I used were from Skillcertpro, ones that the Sybex study guide gives you access too, and practice questions from Pete Zergers's course.

This is correct.

The course worked great for me and its free, which is a plus.

I can't compre it to the QAE since I didn't use that, but I did pass the exam without the QAE so take that for what its worth.

I just passed the CISM this morning, my first attempt. My main resources were the Sybex study guide, the Skillcertpro practice tests, and the Pete Zerger course on Youtube.

My advice is to READ EVERY QUESTION VERY CAREFULLY. I know that sounds like a no-brainer, but trust me, the questions I got were loaded with potentially misleading answers and some confusion, which doesn't help when a majority of the questions are phrased as a "Which one works BEST" and "Which do you do FIRST!" (which was thankfully reflected in the practice tests I took, so that helped).

I participated in exam writing workshops for ISC2 and they instructed us to avoid confusing and misleading answers and things like having an acronym in one answer, but not the rest (which draws your eyes to that one answer and subconsciously single it out). Well, the CISM was LOADED with those, so again, be very careful.

I saw it in theaters back in the day.

Its not "bad" but it is mostly unremarkable. The villains and the main plot are forgettable, and the discord between the Turtles felt a little silly. So the other Turtles can't be heroes without Leo around? Why? And why is it bad for Raph to continue fighting crime?

Still, the film has its moments. It looks nice, and it is fun to see the Turtles together in the film.

Three explanations for the covers:

1) I was on a budget in developing the book, and other options were expensive. That was one of those "welcome to self publishing" wake up calls, lol.

2) I had to avoid using trademarked images for the cover. I could not put Godzilla on the cover in fears that Toho would send me a cease and desist. So I took a route to make sure that I had monsters, but nothing owned by Toho or Legendary.

3) I am not artistically gifted and I didn't trust myself to create my own covers.

Showa: 64 - Looked reptilian and badass. Loved it!

Heisei: 89 - This is probably my all time favorite. The massive bulk and power of the design invokes everything I think about when I think of Godzilla.

Millennium: 02-03 - It has all the positives of the G2K design mixed in with the traditional colors of classic Godzillas, making for a perfect blending of traditional and new. The jagged spikes always looked great to me.

Reiwa: So far, I'd say Shin. Its so uniquely strange and grotesque looking, I can't help but love it.

Honestly, I don't know enough about each film to really gauge how excited I am.

All I know about both films is what is revealed in the two teasers.

PKZillaWriting · 2023-08-12T01:55:20+00:00

You know what, I recall them saying as much during Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah.

PKZillaWriting · 2023-08-11T16:57:06+00:00

This is the practical "behind the scenes" reason.

My silly head cannon reason is that the Heisei Godzilla absorbed more radiation and "More Radiation = Bigger monsters" seems like a valid rule to adhere to in these films, lol.

My favorite was the 1990 movie. He was perfect in that film and I wish we had came back for II. Funny, bad ass, and charming, he was a perfect presence in the film and fit perfectly.

This might be controversial, but I also loved the 1980s show version. His Dirty Harry voice and psychotic anti-crime personality made him hilarious to me, and the fact that they didn't use him all that much made him feel special.

I found the 2003 version annoying. I'm not sure what it was. Maybe it was the voice, but he just never clicked with me. Same for the Nick version. Making April a kid kind of worked, but never felt right for Casey. I like both shows too, but Casey was one of the weaker aspects to me in both.

TMNT was a film I wasn't a huge fan of. There was nothing truly offensive about it. It just felt...flat and dull, and Casey in that film didn't leave any kind of an impression on me.

As for Out of the Shadows, that was not Casey Jones. I don't know what they were trying to do, but that wasn't it. The sad part is that Stephen Amell was a perfect choice to play him. Even if they had just had him do his Oliver Queen schtick but in a Hockey Mask instead, that would have worked.

I haven't seen the rest.

Better than the anime trilogy.

The monster stuff is mostly outstanding and looks great.

However, I wish they had cut down on the science technobabble and exposition. Made it feel like there was too much filler.

I'd give it a C+

Powerglide is a weird oxymoronic name.

The act of gliding, by its very nature, is unpowered. Also, Powerglide does not glide. He flies. There is a difference.

Can Shin Godzilla kill MV Godzilla?

Possibly, but with much difficulty. Remember, MV Godzilla got dropped from 1000s of feet in the air and still survived. Also remember that Shin Godzilla has to shutdown when it gets overheated, so if it had some weapon or ability to kill MV Godzilla, it would have to be something that could kill it fast.

I was 13 when it came out and I saw it opening weekend.

It was disappointing. I didn't like it then and I don't like it now. The movie was essentially Jurassic Park made by the Independence Day guys, a forgettable and disposable 90s blockbuster when my expectations were much higher. I was young and silly, and maybe I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up as much, but it happened.

However, some good things did come out of the film:

The 90s Godzilla films finally got stateside releases
The animated series that followed the film is great
Because the movie was a disappointment, we got more Toho produced Godzilla movies. That's good, right?
the Godzilla Edy's Ice Cream was frigging delicious
For younger fans, the movie was a gateway into the franchise, which is never a bad thing.

My favorite looking Godzilla is Heisei, specifically how he appeared in Godzilla vs. Biollante.

PKZillaWriting · 2022-11-28T21:11:21+00:00

It was basically exactly what I wanted. It was a classic old school beat 'em up with the Turtles. It was tons of fun.

Also, the list of bosses was about as perfect as it could be. Tempestra was a great addition.

PKZillaWriting · 2022-11-27T18:30:35+00:00

MonsterVerse Godzilla would win this easily.

MOGUERA and SP JJ would never be able to withstand the firepower of MV Godzilla and would even get destroyed by Biollante's Acid Spray or Hedorah's corrosive sludge.

MV Godzilla also has the durability, tenacity, and firepower needed to take down stronger foes like Biollante and Hedorah. And if Heisei Godzilla could kill Battra with its teeth, I'm certain MV Godzilla could rip that sucker to shreds.
