The First List - Reasons I did not Update

/

Welcome to the end of the year. And with the end comes a number of lists to fill space instead of doing actual writing. Yay filler! So what is the first list we are going to do for the end of the year? Well the top 10 excuses for not updating this year.

10) Family Affairs took precedent
9) No clue what to write about
8) Knew what I wanted to write about, but could not articulate it
7) Did not play what I wanted to write about
6) Felt that it was too late to write about it (working on getting over this one)
5) Forgot
4) Good old procrastination
3) Went out with friends
2) Lazy
1) Wanted to play the game / watch the show instead of write about it. 

And there we have it. First (and possible last) list that for the year. I promise to have something real soon.

Denver Comic Con Guests Confirmed

/

Have you already purchased your 3 Day pass to Denver Comic Con? Good, glad to hear it. Since you have your pass to the halls the geekdom built you will probably want to know whom you will see there. You already know about Stan Lee, but who else will you see?

The first guest, that will hopefully be able to show this year, is Wil Wheaton. Many of you know he was supposed to show up last year but due to some last minute schedule conflicts he had to cancel.

Monster High: Skultimate Roller Maze - Review

/
Lets start this with a little background. Monster High is a Mattel property focused towards, what I am guessing, young girls. More on it can be found at the official site. Seeing that I do not have any kids this made reviewing Monster High: Skultimate Roller Maze for the Wii and DS a tough order. It is obviously not pointed towards me, but I enjoy a challenge. So I popped the game in and started my first journey into this world of teen monsters.

Halo 4 (Single Player) - Review

/
Bungie is done with Halo, mainly because Microsoft owns the brand. Now 343 Industries has the reigns of the series. Halo is much loved by gamers the world over. It revolutionized the console based FPS (although some may argue that). That means that 343 has some pretty damn big shoes to fill. Failure is not an option. If they do not make a perfect game then no one will trust them in the future. So did they succeed in making a not just a good, but a new legacy? Or are people going to march on Microsoft with torches and pitchforks demanding that they relinquish the title back to Bungie?

SWTOR - Free-to-Play

/

Do you like Star Wars? Of course you do, who doesn't (opening a whole can on worms on that one). Then do you like free stuff? Again, easy answer on that one. In that case then you should be happy to hear that BioWare and EA have released the Free-to-Play version of Star Wars: The Old Republic today! So if you never played it when it came out last year, or want to visit some old friends now is your time. Long time meat bag fans of the BioWare Star Wars games will also be glad that, as of today, you will be able to get the deadly HK-51 Assassin Droid. This is in addtion to a new area, the prison world of Belsavis along with a the new Operation: Explosive Conflict on Denova (complete with nightmare mode). So prime that blaster and polish your lightsaber crystals (you think OCD Jedi/Sith do that?) and enjoy the game.
