Thor 2 in 2013

Disney announced that Marvel Studios will be doing a second film for Thor. Along with the announcement of Thor 2, Iron Man 3 will have a release date aiming at May 3, 2013. Of course Chris Hemsworth will be returning to portray the God of Thunder, but Kenneth Branagh won't be returning to direct; July 26, 2013 is the planned release date for Thor 2. We're facing many different movies based off of Marvel's creations - The Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, Captain America, Wolverine, Thor 2 and Iron Man 3. I might be missing one or two, those are just from the top of my head, but either way I'm stoked for all of th...

Arkham City: The Riddler

After showing Batman, Catwoman, Robin and Penguin, Rocksteady has released another black and white image of another character - The Riddler. I loved the Riddler's riddles in Arkham Asylum and I'm hoping the riddles return along with a bigger role for the Riddl...

Zelda: Skyward Sword Tidbits

Eiji Aonuma's interview in Famitsu magazine gives a bit of information about the upcoming Zelda: Skyward Sword, one of them being that the game is pretty much complete, so maybe there will be a release date for this year (a man can hope at least). In this game, Zelda starts out as a childhood friend of Link’s — and not royalty. “She’s not a princess this time,” Aonuma said, “which is something I’ll pretty much have to put forth right now in order to talk about this title. She’s a childhood friend, but she goes away in the midst of the game and it’s Link’s job to search for her.” The starting plot unfolds quite a bit differently from other...

Left 4 Dead In Real Life

  Ever wondered what Left 4 Dead would look like if it featured real life people? Well now you can; this video features people who share similar physical qualities with the cast of Left 4 Dead. Sure they might look like Francis, Luis, Zoey and Bill, but their acting cannot make them those characters alone. Not even the music is good enough to help them...

Arkham City Box Art

The new box art for the upcoming game Batman: Arkham City was been revealed today; I'm not impressed with it when you compare it to Arkham Asylum. I'm not saying that it's bad at all, I'm just saying that it could be better. Nonetheless, I like it and it won't hinder my yearning for it at a...

Iron Man Anime Clip

Marvel released a clip of the upcoming Iron Man anime today, and my first impressions were good and bad. At first, I thought it looked pretty cool, the voice kind of fits Tony Stark, could be better though. But then when Wolverine came in and started talking, I was confused; Tony has a raspier voice than Wolverine, how that works, I don't know. This clip makes me a bit skeptical on how the show will be, but I'll give the dubs a go. If I like the dubs, I'll continue watching it, if they're bad then I will watch the dubs. And if the dubs are bad, well, then I will have to choose which one has the worst voice acting and not go with that one....

Uber Update - Day Five - Stuff Friday

This surely surprised me, I was just randomly checking the TF2 site and saw that the Uber Update is not entirely over. There is a new one today being called Stuff Friday This new update gives us: The "Meet the Medic" taunt The "Schadenfreude" Taunt pack Meet the Medic Lithograph Some new art in the art section You can also buy a limited edition Meed the Medic lithograph over at the Valve Store, if its still available when I get some extra cash, this is going to go on one of my walls. I actually thought that yesterday was the end of the Uber Update, so I wonder if this is going to be the end or not. But the new Medic taunt is pretty great. The "Schadenfreude" Taunt pack gives you the ability, for all nine classes, to point and laugh at your opponents, only available at the Mann Co. Store....

TF2 Complaints

I've been reading a lot of complaints about Valve deciding to have Team Fortress 2 a free-to-play game; their concerns go from them feeling scammed, a worry about an increase in hackers and annoying people. I understand why people feel scammed, especially if you just bought the game recently, but there's also a consideration that needs to be brought up. Team Fortress 2 is worth more than a $20 dollar value, we get free updates and free packs, buying items in game is optional; most of the time we can craft or find drops of the in store items. I bought the game a few years ago and I love it, and I have no problem with Valve's decision since...

Current TF2 Players Get A Hat [Update]

On the Free-to-Play Faqs Page, players who have been playing by buying a retail copy of Team Fortress 2 will be getting a hat. "Q. What happens if I buy a retail copy of TF2? You will automatically be upgraded to have a premium account and will be given a special Proof of Purchase hat to wear on any character in-game." No word on when or what the hat will look like, but at least we get a free hat! Update: We finally got a picture of what the Proof of Purchase hat looks like, its very simple and I'm okay with it. I wasn't expecting anything too big and fancy; I was expecting something like this, like how Valve gave the Cheater's Lament....

Uber Update - Day Four - Meet the Medic

The video I posted in my last post was indeed the Meet the Medic video, and I'm sorry I'm a bit late on this, trying to get access to the Team Fortress 2 site was hell. But anyways, the star of the update got his chance to shine today with a new video and new weapons that are: The Quick Fix - Medigun Prototype The Solemn Vow - Bust of Hippocrates The Overdose - Syringe Gun Prototype The new weapons are pretty impressive, it would have been nice if they offered some Battle Medic helping items; the Solemn Vow will surely come in handy at times though. Along with the Medic's new arsenal, Valve has also announce that Team Fortress 2 is now...

Is This Really the Meet the Medic Video?

So while looking through the forums of TF2,I found this. Could this possibly be the new Meet the Medic Video, it seems legit enough. The update should be here soon. But just in case this is true, here it is. I'm freakin loving it though. Either way, we'll know for sure if it's the real thing or not in a bit. I just realized, at the end of the video it says that Team Fortress 2 is now free to play...forever. If this is true, then dammit. I'll keep you guys updated as fast as I can about any of this and see if it's this is real and if TF2 is now free to play; so keep checking ba...

Today marks the twentieth birthday for the fast and blue hedgehog; 20 years of bad and good games, along with many decent T.V. shows and comics.

Death of Spider-Man Review

I just finished the last issue of Ultimate Spider-Man's Death of Spider-Man, and it was good, but not the best. It almost made me tear up, yeah, I'll say it and I'll explain myself, but at the same time it was too fast. This whole issue was about Spidey dishing it out with the Green Goblin while he's incredibly wounded as he's trying to protect Aunt May and Gwen. The first part that got me going "Oh hell yeah, some ass will be kicked!" was when Johnny went after the Goblin. But then the Green Goblin absorbed Johnny's flames and knocked him out, so there went my few seconds of happiness. But then this happened: As Spidey is being up the...

The Detonator - Pyro Uber Update

  The same friend who showed me the secret Scout Uber Update once again showed me another secret somewhere on the Team Fortress 2 blog, this page gave us an update for the Pyro. It seems like the Soldier stole the amount of items the Pyro gets considering there's only one weapon for him: The Detonator. What's so special about this new flare gun is that you can explode the flares in mid air with the alt-fire, but what's even more awesome is that you can flare jump with it, that is if it's anything like it's beta counterpart; if you've played the Team Fortress 2 beta, then you'd know what I'm talking about.  I have no idea where this...

Once I get my hands on today's released comics and finish reading them, I'll do a review of them for anyone who's...

I was expecting two classes today with another...

Valve Interested In The Wii U

The lucky students at the Games for Learning Institute's Games for Change conference in New Yorkwere able to have Gabe Newell speak over at their school. During his time there, he has stated his interest in the Wii U by saying: "Wii U seems to be a lot more powerful than the previous generation," he said, adding, "It sort of fits better into the scalability in terms of graphics performance and CPU performance, so I think it'll be a lot easier for us to fit it into our scalability model." I'm excited to see what Valve has in store for the WiiU, and kudos to them for branching out of their PC only thing so many more people can enjoy their...

The #1 Fan - Scout Uber Update

I got this from a friend of mine, how he found it, I have no idea. But I'm getting somewhere hidden on the Team Fortress 2 site holds the page that shows an update for the Scout that was released today with the Sniper and Demoman. The Scout gets a new set of weapons also, them being: The Soda Popper - Scattergun The Atomizer - Bat The Winger - Pistol If you look at the Atomizer, it says you are now able to triple jump, but with the exception of losing 10 health. And the Scout gets a meter similar to the Soldier's, but his is the 'Hype meter' that gives mini-crits to the Soda Popper when the meter is full. This is pretty crazy for me since...

Uber Update - Day Two - Timbuk Tuesday

Day Two of the Uber Update is officially out, this time there's an Arabian theme with new weapons for the Sniper and Demoman. Sniper's new weapons are: The Bazaar Bargain - Sniper Rifle The Shahanshah - Sword Demoman's includes: The Splendid Screen - Shield The Persian Persuader- Sword Ali Baba's Wee Booties - Shoes The Demo's items, I gotta say, are pretty OP. Which means I will use most of the load outs just to mess with people. The Sniper's new items will definably be used by me. If I thought the Heavy's weapons needed to be tweaked, I wasn't obviously ready for the Demoman's. Now I can't wait till tomorrow's update, and I hope the hats...

Team Fortress 2 Class Info

While checking the Team Fortress 2 blog to see if there is any news about today's update, I stumbled across a class info page; to get to this page, just select one of the classes on the banner.

I thought this was a cool little thing they added, I believe it was added during yesterday's update. ...

Fear Itself (So Far)

Tonight I have decided to write my thoughts on Fear Itself and inform people of what's going on. Be cautious though, there will be tons of spoilers. Fear Itself's synopsis basically goes like this: The Serpent, an old enemy of Odin, was defeated by Odin and locked was locked away under the sea while Odin messed with space and time and made it look like the Serpent never existed. Back in WWII, the Red Skull used a magical book constructed of the skin from Atlantians  to call forth a hammer similar to Thor's hammer. The Red Skull tried to move the hammer but he was not deemed worthy and instead constructed a fortress around it. Now in...
