XCOM DEMO Review : "Holding Hands Through the War"

So me growing up on fighting games and such games like Mario Kart, my manliness could not entertain the uterus-filled nonsense of turn based gameplay. The waiting, the thinking, the contemplating - all a bit too much for my taste and at first I thought it was too easy. However as I've grown, I've realized that Pokemon isn't a great representation of the turn-based genre so when I dropped Pokemon I dropped the genre as a whole.

*clap*

Now! I've been hearing all this buzz about this alien game which at first looked like a 3rd person shooter. It also caught my attention by it's interesting design . So with that in mind I decided to take on this Turn-based strategy and dive into...

 XCOM : Enemy Unknown!

Based on the demo the game starts out by holding your hand - and I mean holding it tight! - so you can understand the basics of the game.

Arrow..... but it's Green?!

Hey everyone, I'm back after a long time, so instead of trying to catch up on everything I've missed, I'll be gradually catching up but of course I gotta share upcoming things as well.
So for you DC fans, there seems to be a live adaption happening for a well known hero, the only and only - Super-- I mean Green Arrow!

Had to Deal with Some Things

Hey Nerdians,

I've been completely off the radar recently due to some very personal matters. This along with school and work slowly placed a heavy burden and something had to give. I'm sure my reader-base is small if I have any so for those few, excuse me for going ghost.
I'm getting my vibe back and catching up on all that I've been missing. Hopefully the base grows by the time I finish with my catch-up! Deuces!

Game Review : Persona 4 Arena

So you viewers may not know this but I'm bit of a fighter's fan when it comes to games.

Ever since the good ol' Snes, I remember playing my first fighter, Street Fighter 2.
Since then its been history and I'm always interested in such games no matter what type. So of course I'm a bit ecstatic to add another new experience to my battle log with a new fighter..... From Japan!

So with that being said, I introduce to you all,  Persona 4 Arena!

Now, here I will try to be as understandable as possible for those who may not dabble in thise type of games .
So the Persona scene is surpisingly refreshing from the usual fighting games with its obvious recognition of its "sponsers" and the whole grindhouse feel at the vs screen. Now I'm new to the whole Persona feel so keep that in mind, but I enjoyed the game and found it a fair swtich from the what other games are offering.

Upcoming Posts : Voices and All!

Hey Geeks, Nerds, Geekets and Nerdinas!

Currently I'm recording and setting our voice posts so I'll finally be able deliver on what I stated in the beginning.
We have some movies that we wish to discuss and of course some games that have caught our eyes.
In the meantime I should be posting some smaller flings here and there, so follow me with great anticipation!
Feel free to comment on any previous and upcoming posts.

Game SpotLight : Transformers Fall of Cybertron Multiplayer Demo

So as promised I have my thoughts on the TFOC multiplayer- without further aduea here we go!

So the demo gives us basically the same 4 class in the previous one but with different names and tweaks (not too sure why).
The classes' names have changed from the previous ones to the new more ambiguous ones:
Leader= Destroyer
Soldier= Titan
Scientist= Scientist
Scout=  Infiltrator

Okay let's get started shall we?

Manga Recommendation #2: Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru

Alright excuse the super long title, but ya know how weird those Japanese people are with their silly names.
*Waves American Flag*

But in all seriousness, this is for those martial art lovers who likes a good, detailed and sometimes slowly paced hero story. Well perhaps "hero" isn't the best word considering there is no real villain in this manga, rather just a new set of hurdles. So here's the gist: young talented gymnast named Minoru, gets kicked out because of bullying and decides to chill in the background while supporting his childhood friend, Nana. Through their conversation we learn quickly about Minoru's oppression from his seniors which leaves him nearly void of any self esteem. Sounds like the perfect type of person to start a Martial Arts Manga if you ask me!!!

Game SpotLight : Transformers Fall of Cybertron Demo

ALRIGHT! Hey Geeks and Geekets!
So I know its a bit a random but there is a game that's coming out soon and it holds a sweet spot in my heart so I gotta share this with the rest of the people. This snippet is only focused on the demo, so lets get started with Transformers Fall of Cybertron Demo Review!

Alright so I got an early access to the demo as so did many others who pre-ordered it. Honestly I was unaware of the pre-order perk and was suprised when the code popped up in my email. I believe the demo will be publically released later this week. Now moving on!
So the demo give you three gaming options -
1.Play a BumbleBee demo
2.Play a Vortex demo
3.Multiplayer demo.

Movie Review: The Amazing Spider-Man

Aaaaariiight, first movie review! And who better to start this out with than none other than Spidey himself... well not quite himself (get into that in a sec).

Introducing... The Amazing Spider-Man!

Ya know I had quite a few ideas on how to do this. I was thinking doing the whole checklist type deal but when I think who the heck am I kidding, that just wouldnt be me. So lemme just break it down to the readers good ol water-cooler style!

My Heart Goes Out: Colorado Shooting incident

DARK KNIGHT RISES!! But we're not talking about that right now...

Now on occasion I put aside some things and do tarry on some thoughts.I have a few friends I spoke with regarding the incident and while we all agree this is a very unfortunate event to say the least, many are wondering "Why?"
Before that - Lemme say, - ya know people are truly bothered by the possible idea that this happened because of the previous Batman movie. I have many points of view where people are thinking, "hey - that Joker character was devilishly evil in that last movie. Is this the type of media that we are allowing to warp the minds of our people?"

Anime Spotlight: Natsuyuki Rendezvous [For Love Lovers]

Alrighty everyone,

Its a new day and I've started checking on the this season's anime list. Of course I want to shed some light on some anime I love in previous seasons but a current series caught my attention instantly, thus I had to share with you all, Natsuyuki Rendezvous.

Now this show take animated drama and just does it so well without breaking a sweat.

Manga Recommendation #1: City Of Darkness

Alright geeks and geekets!

I present my first *Manga Recommendation*: 

City Of Darkness

I stumbled across this manga just by the desire to wash the bad taste of Naruto out of my mouth (yeah, i was a fan but no more) and boy how lucky was I!
City Of Darkness takes your main protagonist, who's mixed in a world of street wars and manages to add romance without it taking up too much space.
Basic idea, this guy was the number one kid for a super-sized gang boss - but in one night, everything went out of control and BOOM - the young man now has the biggest kingpin after his neck, we follow his journey and struggle.

Oh be sure to check out my upcoming audio blimps!
