Meet the EnemyWe once again return to the world of Thedas in Bioware’s next installment of the Dragon Age series.  For those not familiar with the Dragon Age series, it takes place in the world of Thedas where, due to the misuse of magic, the “Maker” has turned his back on the world.  Those that caused this were turned into “Darkspawn”, evil creatures without souls that destroy everything in their path and live mostly underground.  Once every few hundred or thousand years, the Darkspawn gather together into a large horde and assault the surface under the command of an “Arch Demon”, an ancient and powerful “Old God” that has been corrupted by the Darkspawn.

Sucker Punch

/

So I saw Sucker Punch today, and as usual it is a movie that I honestly find to be good. But since the geek population is far from the largest demographic in the world it is getting its ass handed to it in reviews. So for those of you not familar with the movie it stars Emily Browning as Baby Doll. Now, I don't know if this counts as a spoiler since it all happens during the the initial credits of the movie, but you have been warned. The movie starts with Baby Doll's mom passing away. Her sister and herself are (expectedly) torn up about this. Not torn up about it was their step dad, what he is pissed about is that he was not in the will. So he tries to molest Baby Doll, and when he fails she gets locked in her room and he goes after her younger sister. Baby Doll climbs out a window, down to the first floor in the rain, grabs a gun and attempts to shoot the basterd. This is where she gets a bit unstable. She misses and kills her sister. From here she is taken to the sanitorium (without killing the step dad first, which she really shoud have). This all happened in the first few minutes so it was not dragged out and got the movie off to nice start.  We have a setting and it did not waste even 1/4 of the movie setting it up.

Navi's Song (Hey, Listen!), Trust me on this one K

/

So this video is by the same chick (read Meekakitty) that did the Star Trek Girl music video.  I do think this one is the better of the two videos and gives quite a different spin on the relationship with Link and Navi. And yes, it is a 5 Min 34 Seconds long, but the actual song ends after 3:12.  The rest is Meekakitty doing what made her famous (at least as famous as the internet makes you) in the first place.

Pokémon PSA

/

Do you like to capture Pokémon?  Do you enjoy traveling across the country so you can enslave sentient creatures and then force them to fight while you stay on the sidelines yelling out commands?  Do you enjoy forcing a fellow breathing and living being to an early grave?  If so you are an evil evil person, and the following PSA agrees.  Lets hope you mend your ways and set free your slaves before it is too late and you end up in a level of hell that forces you to be a Pokémon in an eternal losing battle.

Still worth it be a Toy R Us kid

/

So the 3DS is about to come out, and at $250 clams it is not all that cheap.  But Toys R Us has your back on this.  On the launch day (03/27/2011) of the system if you buy 1 game you can get the second 1/2 off.  Not a bad deal for new games.  Many "Tru" Locations will have demos of the system as well.  You know, just in case you are on the fence.

According to source you will also be able to trade in your old DS for a nice new one, but this is not being recomended, and I would have to agree with their reasons.  The 3DS has a screen with a higher resolution, but this comes at a price to older DS games.  The games are either blown up to look fuzzy, or if you hold select and start while it boot the system will use the original resolution, which means you have a much smaller play area.

This Week in Games (March 21, 2011)

So here is what I wanted to post this morning but failed to look it up far enough ahead of time. This Week in Games is (or at least is planned to be) a new weekly feature on The Gameslave. This Week in Games is going to be the games that are going to be released over the next week. So without further ado lets begin.

A Message from Blizzard

/

So I got up this morning with the intent of posting some actual content before leaving for work, somthing for you guys to peruse in the middle of the day instead of waiting till I got home.  And then I found out I really need to do more prep work if I am going to do that, so better luck next time.  But since I am up I thought I would post a link to one of Blizzards 20 Year anniversay videos.  They don't have a nice easy embed link, so I am going to point you to their site, but it is a quick message from Mike Morhaime (CEO and Co-Founder) and Frank Pearce (EVP, Product Development and Co-Founder) thanking us for our dedication.
