Today Nintendo told the world about their new hand held system, the 2DS. The 2DS looks like one of those really really old hand held games but has the same graphics as the 3DS minus the ability to show things in 3D. The 2DS will run all the 3DS games along with the the original DS games. It still has the WiFi and local multiplayer of the 3DS. Basically it's a 3Ds laying flat with no 3D. The 2DS is supposed to launch October 12th for about $129.00 in both a red or blue and will include a 4GB SD card. With all the next gen systems on the way I think this is Nintendo trying to not be forgotten but only time will tell if this is going to bring more people back to the Nintendo world.

Yesterday I went out and saw The Worlds End, the new Simon Pegg, Nick Frost comedy.  I was actually surprised, the movie wasn't in my local theater and I actually had to go for a bit of a drive to get a one that was playing and even there we were put in the very last  theater. You know the one, it's like  a quarter of the size of all the others, the one where movies that are almost done running are usually put. The theater was packed though. I guess the owners didn't expect many people to want to see the movie. Anyway back to the movie. The Worlds End is about Gary King and how he wants to relive better days by trying to go back to his home town and finish and epic pub-crawl that he and his group of friends had failed 20 years earlier.  Gary manages to convince his old group of friends to come back and attempt the pub-crawl, that would end at the worlds end, only to find out that something is pretty wrong with the town and becomes a struggle not only reconcile the ...

So to start the story here, the next Superman movie is supposed to be a duo of Batman and Superman. We have already heard that Henry Cavill is going to return as the man of steel but who is going to be Batman. Well today Director Zack Snyder has officially announced that the next dark knight is going to be played by Ben Affleck.... yeah. Did anybody else wince in pain when they read that? I know I did, but why you ask? The last super hero I can remember Affleck playing is the Dare Devil and if you saw that you movie you know exactly why you don't want him to be the next Batman. If you haven't seen that movie, count your blessings and pray that you are never exposed to it.  I've always thought that Affleck couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag and now we're doomed to suffer his acting again. Anyway the next upcoming Superman, Batman movie is set to be released July 17, 2015. Of course we all know how those dates are never even close to being set in stone. Yea...

If you haven't already heard the news, patch 5.4 for World of Warcraft is on it's way. Siege of Orgrimmar will not only include a new raid where you actually get to lay siege to Orgrimmar (go figure)  but will also include new Flexible Raid Difficulty, a new Arena: Timeless Isle, Proving grounds, and a remade arena system. The new flexible raid difficulty is supposed to adjust it's difficulty automatically based on the the number of players in the raid. The challenge for the raid should be somewhere between the Raid Finder and normal difficulty. The new Proving Grounds feature is supposed to take level 90 players and test them in trials for each character type, tank, healer, and dps. Each of the trails will have four different difficulties, bronze, silver, gold and endless. With the new Arena setup players will no longer have to form a team to compete. Your opponets will be chosen based on the average match making rating of the party. Also all  arenas will now be a...

Recently tales of Xillia was released here in the U.S. The tales games have always been some of my most favorite JRPGs so I thought I'd post some tips to help your epic trek threw the game. When in combat remember to use the dodge. If you time the back step right you'll jump back and appear behind the enemy giving you time to unleash a massive combo on your enemy. When exploring the world monsters are just wondering about around you. Don't let them start the combat, make sure to run around behind them. When the combat starts all the enemies will take damage and have a chance of being stunned making life a whole lot easier. Explore, Explore, Explore!  Make sure to take your time and explore everything around you. You never know what you'll find in a hole somewhere. Pick up all the resources you find. You can never have to many resources to help upgrade the shops which in the end will upgrade your gear. Eat! The food in this game doesn't just up your stats, but...
