A Spore Nerd Corner

Today on February 27, Leonard Nemoy passed away. Nemoy was 83 years old and passed from end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. While most of us remember him from his role as Spock on the Star Trek, Nemoy had major roles in many shows including Gunsmoke and Mission: Impossible. Mission: Impossible being my favorite.  Leonard Nemoy will be greatly missed.

Yes live in fear of my evil Robo-Rooster army of doom! I thought it was kinda funny.

Oh boy later this week Grand Theft Auto 5 is coming to my PC.... Or not. That's right GTA fans it's been pushed back, again. This time it's been moved to April 14th. In order to make up for the push to the players that preordered they are going to give them another $200,000, in, ingame money. But why did it get pushed back again? I guess it needs "more polish." On a happier note, March 10th Online Heists will be launched for all the systems that can play GTA 5.

Oh that's right and the crowd goes wild! Or at least I sure do. The new World of Warcraft Patch, 6.1 comes February 24th! Along with the standard character, dungeon, and raid tweaks this patch is bringing a whole load of new stuff not least of these is the new blood elf models and heirloom collection tab (about time), racing in the darkmoon faire, but also new options for people that are colorblind, new anti-aliasing and lighting. Excuse me while I wipe the drool from my face. So I knew I'm going to be starting a new toon, bloodelf for sure, probably a lock. Are you as excited as I am? Let me know.

So if you're like me and sit back while the World of Warcraft holidays come and go since you've experienced them so any times. You'll be excited that Blizzard has decided to add some new stuff to the Lunar Festival. So what is this new stuff? New toys, such as Elune's Lantern, Everlasting Alliance Firework, and Everlasting Horde Fireworks. I guess the Fireworks were around just before the MoP launch, so yay they're back. Also you'll be able to give you Perky Pug a firework threw the Perky Blaster. Engineers will get three new firework schematics, Schematic: Alliance Firework, Schematic: Snake Firework, and the Schematic: Horde Firework. So if you haven't don the Lunar Festival or you just want get some new stuff, and who doesn't like new stuff, the festival lasts from February 16 to March 2. Enjoy.

Jon Stewart is leaving The Daily Show sometime later this year and I think a little part of me just died inside. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart is probably the only reason I started watching the news, and not just one liberal news channel, but every news channel.  After all the jokes are funnier when you actually know who he's talking about. Jon Stewart and the other anchors have brought me endless hours of laughter since 1999 and made me think about everything going on around me. I don't know if the show will be ending as well, or if they have somebody else to take over for him but I know it's never going to be the same.
