Just had to post my quote for the day. It came from a simple convo with vega480. It’s one for the ages vega.
What are you doing tonight?
Hopefully seeing Avengers, if my brother gets the green light from the wife.
One reason to find a comic geek for a wife, no green light, only green lanterns, arrows and hornets
This was a pretty well done version of the Skyrim Theme. It is awesome to see that songs from the gaming community are loved enough that choir would put them in their show, even the crowd has a good reaction to it whether they new what it was or not, it was performed very well.
I just recently earned the Platinum Trophy for Skyrim, while you can never fully finish Skyrim according to the developers which does add to its continued desire for playing. There will be some DLC coming soon, first to the 360 and then to the PS3.
Skyrim! I have been working on this game in chunks of time when I am feeling in the mood for it. Currently working towards the Platinum Trophy on it, about 70% there. I really need to get back to Assassins Creed Revelations though and finish out the single player on that before October and AC3 comes out. I bounce around from game to game mostly, usually my main playing of a game is right right when I buy it, if I wait too long I will get distracted by another new game or just slowly slip away from it over time. Most of the time if I wait too long I never go back to it, i still have yet to beat Kingdom Hearts 2, so no spoilers please, lol. I think longest I waited before picking a game back up and finishing it was about a year, it was Uncharted 1. I had made it all the way to the final level and just stopped, I finished it just before trophies were added for it, then had to play through it all over again to Platinum it. I am still a huge fan of the Uncharted series fan.
With summer coming just around the corner, its time to start letting that bubbling excitement for the upcoming superhero movies to boil over. So the question out there is which one of the movies are you most looking forward to. We have The Amazing Spiderman, The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises.
For me personally, I’ll be the first to admit I’m anxious for all 3. Ever since a I was a kid suppose to be running around playing cops and robbers or cowboys and indians, I was playing spiderman as my brother was wolverine. So from that young age Spiderman comics, shows, cartoons have always had a pull on me. Then the Avengers being done with a hero like Joss Whedon and Marvel successfully building up to this over years of staging movies is quite the task. However, ultimately I would have to say The Dark Knight has to be the one I vote on. The reason being, Nolan single handily redefined and set the standard for what a comic to film adaption can and should be with Batman Begins. Then he follows that up with The Dark Knight establishing a masterpiece in most people’s mind (although Heath should get 95% of the credit on the success of that one). The bottom line is, in my opinion, it has been this Batman series that has reinvented comic book movies that Spiderman and Avengers are fashioned after. In that regard, I’m most excited to see how Batman comes to an end…though I’ll be seeing all three.
TellTale has acquired another series to turn into a 5 part series game. From what I have seen in this interview it is shaping up to be something really great, very similar to being in the actual show or comic only where you get to make the choices and they change the outcome of the game. There are many games that promise your choices will change the outcome of the game but very few actually pull this off. They are only $5 an episode so not out much if you don’t like the first one you are not locked into the rest. Visually they worked on replicating the art style of the comic series, while I have not read the comic the graphics do look really good and can see what they were trying to recreate. The control look like it would be better to use with a mouse, the video showed who ever controlling it with an Xbox 360 controller and it went pretty smooth so will probably be a little time getting used to it. You move the cursor over the screen and things you can interact with show a dot and options of how you can interact with it.
In the wide world of dating, there are many options. I have often laid claim that I need to find me a cosplayer to date. Here are some of the top reasons this is so:
When playing a game where you get to create a character, specifically where you get the option of which sex to play as, which do you choose and why? I usually always play as a female character on my first play through, the most common reaction I get when I tell other people is a look of ‘why?’. Let me tell you why, most all games are not going to be sexist and make a game that makes the male character stronger so there is no real reason to pick that to make the game easier to play, let me put it this way if you had to spend 100+ hours staring at someone would you rather stare at Conan or Xena? Exactly!
There are so many memes out there these days it is always nice to see video game themed ones, mostly for me because they usually share my thoughts exactly. Memebase is a good site for all things memes, they have finally added a section just for video game themed ones http://videogames.memebase.com, there is also one based off of fans of the geekyness http://fandom.memebase.com/. The Fandom side has a lot of cosplay pics that are just amazingly done, worth looking for even that part of it.
Video games have in recent years been made out to be the cause of many school shootings or general violent crimes committed by those who have played them. While nothing I can say here will be any different than what has already been done and probably done way better than I can currently do, I still felt like I should share this documentary that I had stumbled across on Netflix. The movie is done by Danny Ledonne who created a game called Super Columbine Massacre RPG!, so yes of course it is going to be a biased view on violence in video games, but it is still nicely done and does bring up some good points. The main focus for me is that video games cannot cause a normal person to become violent enough to act out what they have played, there are going to be many other factors that are going to cause a person to become violent. If video games were the sole factor violent crimes should be increasing at a greater rate than they currently are, I believe people think that there is a greater increase because when a shooting happen any where we can hear about it before the scene is even cleared due too today’s always connected society. There has always been violence in history and I believe there will always be violence it is just a natural thing, you can’t make all of the people happy all of the time.
