A Spore Nerd Corner

I was a huge fan of the original Fargo movie so when the FX channel said that they would making a TV show I got really excited. I'm not going to tell you all about the episode, if you've ever seen the movie, the show has a very similar theme to it.  I felt like the show started off a little slow but quickly picked up. The quirky, off beat sense of humor we all loved in the movie is all over the place in the show and the twisting plot kept my attention.  I did feel like they were making fun of the Wisconsin accent a little to much. After the first half hour of the show I wasn't sure if I was actually going to like it, but by the end I couldn't wait for the next episode. In the end, in it's own round about, quirky way it had grabbed my attention and wouldn't let go. I'm not sure if the series is going to be great, but after the first episode I'm going to be watching the second.

That's right Borderlands fans, according to reports later this year we are supposed to get a Borderlands  2 prequel on last generation systems and PC. The rumor is that the game will take  place between Borderlands and Borderlands 2. You'll be able to choose between Athena the Gladiator, Wilhelm the Enforcer, Nisha the Lawbringer and Fragtrap who is supposed to be a combat version of Claptrap (could he be that slick ninja Claptrap we see at the end of Borderlands?) You maybe be saying those names sound kinda familiar, well they should. The four are Handsome Jack's lieutenants from the Borderlands 2. The game is supposed to be Jack as he starts making a name for himself looking for alien artifacts. Rumors for new weapons include a new Cryo weapon. I'm assuming that means freaking the enemy. Also a jetpack is going to be added to get around. The Borderlands 2 Prequel is being made by 2K Australia in conjunction with Gearbox. While we don't have a release date ye...

I think I had more fun watching this movie than I have had watching a movie in a theater in a long time.  The two hour sequel just flew by, leaving me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Before I knew it a bag of a popcorn and my drink were gone, the movie was over and all I could think was I have to go see that again. Captain America: The Winter Soldier had everything, stunts, action, explosions, spies, humor, and good plot twist. They managed to take everything that a comic book does and put it all into a movie, giving the entire audience that feeling comic fans get after reading a really good comic. If you're going to go see a movie this weekend this is the one to see.

The first expansion of Diablo 3, Reaper of Souls has finally been launched, yay! The expansion has added: Act V The new playable class Crusader increases the level cap up to 70 added new spells and abilities to the the already existing character classes. Adds Adventure Mode I've had a lot of fun so far, the crusader plays a lot like a mixture of the WoW paladin and the Diablo 2 paladin, adventure mode is fun to just hop into if you don't want to have to run threw the story mode of the game. Really though it's all the same as before. If you love Diablo 3 then hey the expansion is going to be a lot of fun go out pick up and have some fun. If you didn't like Diablo 3 to begin with then this isn't going to change your opinion.

Feel free to get a little bit.... ok a major laugh out of this. California state senator Leland Yee has been arrested. Senator Yee was arrested by an undercover FBI agent for doing favors in exchange for campaign contributions. The favor was to set up a meeting between the undercover agent and an arms dealer to discuss the types of weapons the undercover agent might need. Yee has been released on $500,000 bond and hasn't made any statements about the case yet. For gamers Yee is probably best known for a law passed in 2005 that stopped the retnal of violent games to minors. The law went the Supreme court in 2010 and was eventually struck-down. Later in 2013 Yee was quoted as saying: Gamers have got to just quiet down. Gamers have no credibility in this argument. This is all about their lust for violence and the industry’s lust for money. This is a billion-dollar industry. This is about their self-interest. I don't know about you but it seems that the morality police o...

So if you've been playing South Park: The Stick of Truth and you're looking for other things to do just because you don't want to put the game down, here are some little things to find in the woods. The woods actually remind me of the first Legend of Zelda game, they basically repeat themselves, you'll end up getting lost unless you know where you're going, and if you go in the right direction pattern you can end up in some neat places. The first place is easy enough, if you just keep heading up eventually you'll end up on the the Canadian border. You can't cross the border until later in the game after you've gotten the passport and had your photo taken. If you want out of the lost woods, it's not exactly complicated, just keep heading down and eventually you find yourself back at the cattle ranch. The second things to find are the woodland critters. If you haven't seen the episode "The Woodland Critter Christmas," go find it. ...

I wasn't sure about the new South Park rpg. Not just that the games release date had been pushed back or that the company making the game actually went out of business and got picked up by a different one, but come on it's a South Park game.  It was ripe to have some poorly made piece of garbage made with nothing but the name South Park to carry it. Boy was I wrong. I am having more fun than I thought I ever could playing this game.  Everything in the game goes into making you feel like you are actually in an episode of the show and it does it while still giving you everything you want from a classic rpg. You get the chance to meet every character from the South Park series while explore the entire town of South Park, even being able to team up with a few of the kids. The Stick of Truth gives you not only the main quest, for the  stick of truth, but also loads you up with side quests given to you from people around the town. You get the chance in the very beginning...
