A Spore Nerd Corner

My first play threw of Wildstar is ever continuing. Actually the game is a lot of fun. I'm up to level 42, only 8 levels left, and I've picked up a little more slick looking gear. I've also ended up using about a third of the money I've been saving to get my advanced riding skill.  At first I didn't think it was worth it, but it's helped me get some of the timed achievements done so oh well. I've also started running more PVP. It's Ok, with only a couple battlegrounds to run right now it's a bit repetitive. I also find that I have no idea what's happening most of the time. I mean I know where to run but in the fog of combat all to often I find myself just spamming my attacks into the crowd right in front of me, and even with that and no PVP gear I'm still in the top 3 for damage and kills. I'm hoping it will be a bit more interesting once more battlegrounds launch. As for the Adventures and Dungeons, I haven't had much of any luck

Remember when we were all voting to see that new motorcycle mount they were going to add to WoW? Well finally it's going to to making it's way to the game, but to get it you have to make sure you log in! Anybody that logs in between now and the September 30th will get flagged to get the mount when the new expansion is launched. The only problem with all of this, the only players that will be able to ride the new bike are Horde characters. Oh well I guess it's a chance to go back and play my Tauren Shaman again.

I wasn't sure if I was going to pick up Destiny. I only have my PC and a PS3 and to be perfectly honest I'm not sure if I'm even going to go get one of the next gen systems.  Most of the games I want are on the PC in some shape or form and most of them look better on the PC. One of the few games that had me on the fence though was Destiny. I watched my brother play it on the PS4 and everything about it looked amazing, but who wants to buy a next gen game on last seasons system right? Anyway I finally have a way to make up my mind. The beta for Destiny has gone open on all the systems including the PS3, so if you like me are on the fence about the game go download it. I'll let you know what I think of it once I've had a chance to play for awhile.

Today Hearthstone launched it's first piece of content, Curse of Naxxramas. So far I've been experiencing a bit of latency issues so fingers crossed that get that fixed soon. The little I have had a chance to play, this beginning bit is free, is super difficult at least for me. I haven't played as much as I probably should have to be ready for the new content to you might not have any problems. So I'm going to be doing some grinding  to help get some new cards and bolster my decks. In less happy news a couple of this years big titles have been pushed back. Battlefield hardline isn't going to be released in 2014 at all now but is now supposed to be 2015. Also Dragon Age: Inquisition has been pushed back from October 7th, back to November 18th.

The Blizzard card game Hearthstone has had many players, myself included, addicted to it and not to long ago they released news of it's first expansion Naxxramas. Well they've finally let us know when we will be able to start playing, July 22. As for cost, Curse of Naxxramas is supposed to be released in sections.  If you play the first section within the first month of it's release you will get it for free. After that each wing will cost $7, and if you buy all the wings at once will get a $2 discount for each wing.

You can now pick up new Pre-Sequel skins for Borderlands 2. I guess starting today six new heads and skins will be released for each of the Borderlands 2 characters that represent characters for the new Pre-Sequel Borderlands 2 title. they are supposed to be super rare loot drops but every so often on certain dates they can be unlocked using Shift Codes that Gearbox is going  to release. Those certain dates are :   • July 18: Axton as Athena   • July 25: Salvador as Wilhelm   • Aug. 1: Maya as Nisha   • Aug. 8: Zer0 as Claptrap   • Aug. 15: Gaige as Moon Moxxi   • Aug. 22: Krieg as a Scav As always happy hunting.

My slow and steady romp threw the world of WildStar continues. At this point I've stopped buying all those extra things... Well except the level two mining fab kit. That cost me 10 gold and was my first purchase at the auction house.  Things are going to be a bit different when it comes to auction house, at least different than WoW. In WoW I made my first real gold selling ore I ran around getting, it doesn't look like that will work in WS seeing as how everybody can mine anything it's just that because I picked up the mining profession I get a bonus to how much I can pick up. My other profession is weapon crafting, and that doesn't look like it makes much of anything in the auction house either, which puts me up a creek without a paddle. So far I just sell everything I don't need, or can't use along with selling the extra weapons I make to level the weapons crafting profession. So far I'm doing ok with that but I haven't really needed to buy much of a

I've been glued to my computer with this years Evo 2014. I love watching people pull out the most amazing combos in Marvel VS. Capcom, the sheer skill of Smash Brothers players, and my personal favorite Street Fighter 4. I don't know how people do half the stuff they manage to pull off in any of the games but it gives a great example of some of the best players in the world.  If you haven't checked it out you can find a ton of videos on youtube. On the news front right after the Marvel VS. Capcom we go to see a quick little teaser trailer to Tekken 7. They also let us know that later in July during the San Diego Comic Con, they will have a booth up showing off a bunch of new stuff for it. Something to look forward to!

I've been playing Wild Star for just a little while now but I've come across somethings that may be perfectly obvious to some players and not even thought of by others when it comes to combat. So here's a quick list. Keep those feet moving. Just because you can't see that red area of effect marking on the ground doesn't mean no damage is coming your way. The combat really is designed around moving around as much as possible. Use your "r" skills. I don't know what they are really called but they're activated by pressing the "r" key on the keyboard so there you go. Anyway when I first started playing I thought they were one of those panic skills with an epic cool down time, not so much. Most of them recharge surprisingly fast and all of them boost your damage and healing a ton. All characters come with some sort of interrupt skill, and all players should have one in their action bars. During boss fights in dungeons some will have multip

I've finally gotten to level 20 in WildStar  with my Spell Slinger and decided to run my first dungeon. The only dungeons I've ever really run are the WoW dungeons, I've gone threw a couple of the Guild Wars 2 dungeons but only once seeing as how I can never actually find a party to run them. Anyway none of my past dungeon experiences had me ready for this one. I should have known Stone Talon was going to be way different from the start. The trash at the beginning wasn't hard but more was more difficult compared to what you would call trash mobs in WoW. The first boss was a slight lesson in frustration. I spent more time dead than alive even with my jumping and dodging around,  sometimes I couldn't even tell what was hurting me. I had that problem for most of the dungeon. Nothing seemed to be targeting me and I wasn't standing in any of the red, don't stand here cause something big is coming places, but I was still getting smacked around. The Second boss
