This Weeks Geek - Blood From a Stone

/
Established series, they are the life blood of many industries. They give companies a reliable way to make a profit while they experiment with on different products. Without a good series many companies would have gone under long before their time. Done right a series can endear itself to generations and bring up fond memories in conversation. Too bad it is rarely done right. Investors want to know they will get a decent return on their investments. They will happily beat a series to death just to resurrect it and beat it again.

Mass Effect 3 Gets Extended Ending

/

The geeks have whined, bitched, and moaned. Now they get to see the fruits of their labor. EA and Bioware are releasing free DLC that will expand (read: not change) the ending to the epic that is Mass Effect 3. The DLC will add extra cinematic scenes as an epilogue to the game. BioWare believes that this will strike a nice balance between between answering the fans questions and maintaining the artistic vision of Casey Hudson and his team.

Look forward to downloading the DLC on all three platforms (PC, 360, and PS3) some time this summer. And while they have it marked as expiring on 04/12/2014 they do plan on keeping it free and availble as long as they can, but they add expiration dates to all free content.

Skyrim and LotR Violin Videos

/

It would appear that I am on a music video kick this week. Does everyone remember the Zelda violinist that I posted sometime ago? If not it was done by Lindsey Stirling. Well it appears she has been busy and has since created two other videos.  Once for Lord of the Rings and one for Skyrim.  Both of these are pretty good and the Skyrim video proves that the violin is mightier then the sword.

I'm the One That's Cool

Were you picked on in Middle / High School? Did you never get the the respect that you really deserved? Well that was life for most us, and now we are in control! We are important, and we have fan bases in the 100,000's (Disclaimer: Other people, not me). But with that pattern, The Guild / Geek Sundry have created a new song, and a music video to go with it.

 

Mass Effect 3 - Review

/
Anybody who knows me or has been reading any of my past Conversations with IrishPride articles, knows that I am absolutely enamored with the Mass Effect universe. Well, I just finished Mass Effect 3 and I come to you with a review of the final chapter. Does the conclusion of Commander Shepard's epic trilogy end with a big bang? (See what I did there with the big bang comment, it being a sci fi game and all, I know, I'm weird!)

This Weeks Geek - Con Season Comes

/
It is that special time of year when a geeks attention turns outward. When they start to take notice of other things. Yes it the start of the convention circuits (which lasts about 6 months). Typically we here at The Gameslave cover two of the years conventions, but this year will be different. This year we are going to attend a 3rd convention, and this one will be in its first year. For the new reader you may be wondering what conventions we cover, and that is what we are going to cover on This Weeks Geek.
