The New Ms. Marvel

While  marvel is rebooting a lot of their heroes, they've announced that soon a new Ms. Marvel will be hitting their pages. So what's different? This Ms. Marvel is going to be a 16-year-old Muslim girl, Kamala Khan.

That makes her the first protagonist to be Muslim and a woman in the Marvel universe. I guess this is making some people uncomfortable, but comics have always prided themselves on exploring the social issues of the day. Everything from war, race, and now religion.

This is supposed to show an authentic perspective of what it's like to be a young Muslim-American woman, not only learning how to control the new power she's discovered she has but also the expectations of her family, adolescence, and how people respond to her faith.

The new Ms. Marvel will be able to transform different parts of her body to different shapes and sizes and will apparently be able to actually shape shift herself later in the series.

A special issue in January is supposed to premiere her and her series is scheduled to start in February.

Another Day Another Bounty 10.24.13

Image
That's right it's a new day and another bounty has been released for all of us hunters in the Borderlands 2 Loot Hunt. Today's bounty is DJ Tanner , he can be found in Magnys Lighthouse . This hunt is another that is in the Captain Scarlett DLC. He should drop the " Tidal Wave " that can be used for the community bounty. Speaking of the community bounty, today's community bounty is Sand Worm Queens . You may remember fighting one while doing the My life for a sand sandskiff mission  early on in the DLC. A Sand Worm Queen is what leaps out of the sand and swallows Lionel's engine capacitor. I found the best place to find the Sand Worm Queen in Wurmwater just north of the Rustyard exit in a crater. You actually have to hope out of your skiff for them to spawn and they don't always spawn. I have a picture of the location down below.

Final Fantasy XIV The Road to Ninja

That's right a the road to being a ninja, because we all know nothing beats a ninja. So how do you become a ninja? First: You have to have a level 30 rogue, and a level 15 Pugilist. Second: You need to be done with the rogue story quest with the three treasures.( Found that out last night the hard way) Third: (unconfirmed) Do the story quest Sylph Management. You've probably already got it done, but still a lot of people told me I needed this one done. Forth: Once the first and second things are done go and talk to Jacke at the rogue's guild and he'll set you up with the quest chain for ninja.

Wildstar goes F2P

Another MMO is going free to play. That's right recently the makers of WildStar have announced it's going free to play. I don't know if it's just going completely free and just charging people for the extras in-game or if you'll still have to buy the game but they are getting rid of the monthly fee. Really you didn't need to pay a monthly fee, I know I didn't for the short time I played the game. All you had to do was buy (with in-game money) the special tokens that would let you in-turn buy game time. That's right, it's the system that WoW picked up, which kinda makes me wonder if WoW is going to be going free sometime in the future. hmmmmm. Anyway Wildstar is supposed to be going free this fall.  So if you haven't played or like me got tired of playing, this fall might be a good time to hop back into the game.
