Darkness 2

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 is one of those leave you hanging ones, where you finish the game and it leaves you waiting for some dlc or the next game in the series of which their is none.

If you can find the game on sale, for seven hours of play it better be cheap, it's worth picking up especially if you're tired of all the military shooter games that seem to be all over the place lately. The Darkness comics are all amazing and worth getting. You can find different collections all over the place and I suggest you pick them up if you like comics.

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.

Another Day Another Bounty 10.24.13

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.

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.
