A Spore Nerd Corner

As anybody that's been reading my blog for a little while knows, I've been trying to get my art work noticed ever since I graduated from College. So here's some more new pieces I've done. Please take a look, let me know what you think, also tell your friends. The only way I'm going to get this whole design, art career is threw word of mouth. This was for the Witches of East End, Edgar Allen Poe contest. It's supposed to be for the story Tell Tale Heart. I just like the way the hands look like the bottom part of the creatures jaw. Thanks for taking the time to look threw. If you like please let me know. It's always nice to hear from people. If you like anything in particular you can buy a great deal of my at: http://society6.com/arlas2000 You can also check me out on Deviantart at: here Or follow me on facebook: here

Imbuements,  Attunements.... So I'm not that great of a Wildstar player, I'm secure enough to admit it. I still get my butt kicked on a regular basis, and while I am slowly getting better (only had to run back 3 times last night due to scorchwing deaths, OK you can stop laughing now) it's still nowhere near good. That's why this whole attunement is never going to happen. Right now at endgame one of the things to do is get something called the Geneiss Key. With the Genesis key you need to complete different quests that add to the imbuement of the key. The quests are called attunement. At least I think that's how it's working. My current attunement quest is  to complete all of the adventures on veteran mode with at least a silver rating. I'm having trouble beating them on normal with a silver rating. So I really just don't see that happening. Of course even after writing that I have a strange urge to try, and know what I'll end up doing tonight. T

PNS is back online or at least should be soon. Yesterday PSN, Blizzard and a couple other services were attacked yesterday with a DDoS attack. For those that don't know what a DDoS attack is, cause I sure didn't, it's a distributed denial of service attack. Basically the servers get bombarded with requests and errors so nobody else can use the service. Lizard Squad is taking credit for the attack along with a bomb scare on Sony Online Entertainment President's airplane. I've also read that Lizard Squad is saying they are part of the ISIS group we are hearing so much about over in Iraq. If that's true or not I don't know. Maintenance was supposed to happen on the PSN network but that's been pushed back.

I was bored this weekend and when I found out that Darkness 2 was on sale, on Steam. Good old Steam, it's nice being able to pick up games that I'm not sure about for next to nothing. Anyway Darkness 2 was on sale for $5 and I had nothing to do so I figured what the heck. The Darkness, for those that don't know, is a comic series published by Top Cow. It's about a Mafia hitman that on his 21st birthday becomes the bearer of the Darkness, a force that's been around before time and gives the bearer super powers and control over the demons that lurk in it. The story also ties into other comics like The Witchblade, and The Magdalena. The game is a linear first person shooter where you switch between using the different powers of the Darkness and guns you find a long the way. The game isn't bad if you're looking for an old school shooter. The biggest problem I had is how short it is. I stink at these games and it only took seven hours to beat. Also the story

Just a second ago I finished watching the live event for the next expansion of World of Warcraft, Warlords of Dreanor and it was amazing! The entire new expansion, everything from the new models and zones, the new dungeons and raids, and new pvp content is crazy.  Being able to build your own garrison is going to be a blast. Really everything looks amazing, especially for somebody like me who is a lore fiend and has been playing since Orcs and Humans. I can't help but do a little dance around the living room. But what you really want to know is the release date, NOVEMBER 13 THIS YEAR! now you know, mark your calenders, plan to be sick that day.

So if you're anything like me you spent the day raging over the announcement that the new Tomb Raider game is only going to be on the Xbox. Well now all sorts of things are popping up all over the net, maybe exclusive doesn't really mean exclusive, but kinda exclusive. Like the kind of exclusive that means that Tomb Raider may be out on the other systems just after a period of time. At least that's the inference a lot of people are getting from what has been officially released. Who knows what's actually going on, I know I sure don't. So I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Diablo 3 is getting ready for it's next patch, 2.1.0, which I'm super excited for. Ever wonder been chasing that darn treasure goblin along, watch him open that darn portal, of course you manage to take him out before he escapes, but where does that portal go? In the upcoming patch we are finally going to get the chance to see. Every so often after you take the treasure goblin t

I had no I idea that I could be so annoyed so early in the morning, but when I went to IGN to see if anybody had any interesting news I came across a gamescom announcement about the new Tomb Raider game, Rise of the Tomb Raider. It's going to be an Xbox One Exclusive.....Yeah I know, no sense at all. How can you reboot a series in one game, putting it on every system then turn around and put it only on one system after. It's just plain stupid. I was really looking forward to the new Tomb Raider game, I really enjoyed the last one. But, no matter how much I liked  the last one, it's not enough to get me to go out and buy a new system just to play it. With any luck in a year after the release a new super version will come to the PS4, and or the PC, at least that's what a lot of the boards are hoping for. Fingers Crossed!

I've been a ninja turtle fan for more years than I can remember. When I was little I would run around being that ninja fighting to foot, and eating pizza. Even as the years passed and the new cartoons would come on, or the amazing comics books were released, I would be there ready and waiting. That's why when I heard that this new movie was coming I was excited.... and slightly scared. I mean how where these new turtles going to stomp on something I loved so much growing up. So when I went to the theater I was pleasantly surprised. I'm not to sure what people were expecting from the Ninja Turtle movie, but this was a good PG, kids movie. Maybe that's what seemed to bug so many reviewers. It really is a kids, PG movie. If you go expecting some over the top movie aimed at older audiences then you're going to be disappointed. If you go and keep in mind that it really is a kids movie, you will have fun. Each of the turtles acted just as you would expect them to act.

Yup I've dinged 50 in Wildstar with my spellslinger. So what now? Raiding, dungeons, adventures, pvp? So far I've been working on my pvp ranking, and grabbing some of the pvp gear. I'm hoping to get some of the of the weapon crafting schematics for doing that as well, if they even drop from doing it. I get a bit confused there. I've also been working on finishing up all the quests that I haven't finished yet. This is one thing that Wildstar did right, even after I've reached the max level all the experience I would have gotten for finishing quests and killing monsters now goes to elder gems, that I can use to get better gear among other things, actually to encourages me to keep playing the same character. So I've made to the end game content, what did I think of the game so far? On the whole the game was a lot of fun. I plan keeping playing while I get the better gear and finding out the rest of the story. The story was actually really good, especially the

Today Blizzard announced when the latest expansion for World of Warcraft, Warlords of Draenor, will be released... Well kinda. The official WoW blog said that the opening cinematic and the official release date will premiere at an event on August 14th in L.A.  The event is supposed to be held in Ace Theater and should also include a live interview with WoW developers.

Guardians of the Galaxy is Marvel comics latest romp into movies, and I loved every second of it. I'd never heard of the Guardians before the movie, never read a comic or anything else so, I went into the movie not knowing what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. The Guardians consist of Peter Quill (Starlord), Gamora the beautiful assassin, Drax, Rocket Racoon, and Groot the giant tree person. All of them, rebel, loosers in their own right are brought together to save Xandar, the home of the Nova Corps from Kree Ronan and the Infinity Stone he has acquired. This movie was so much fun. Their was a great balance of drama, action, and tons of just funny. The entire theater laughed at the jokes, and it seemed everybody had a great time. The special effects were amazing, along with the voice acting of Rocket.  If you're looking for something to do, go watch this movie!
