"Avatar: The Last Airbender" Review

      This has been on my to do list for a lot longer than I'd care to admit. I've said already that I've been writing a book, but I've also been editing a book for a friend and I've gotten back into playing some Minecraft with a couple of friends. Plus, I have a full time job. All this means I have little time to do much writing. It makes me sad... BUT NO MORE! It's time to do a review. Without further ado, Avatar: The Last Airbender. Warning: spoilers will probably follow...

Toph looks a little derpy...

Sword Art Online: First Look

     No, this is not a game. While perusing this anime season's line-up, I found that I really didn't want to watch any of them. This is not necessarily a bad thing: I have a backlog of anime a mile long that I still have yet to get to. But one show did stick out. Sword Art Online is a new anime that recently premiered in Japan, in which thousands of people play an advanced online game. Because I am a gamer, I decided to check it out.

That sword on the left looks pretty awesome... DO WANT.

The Garden of Your Mind...

     Time for something a little bit different, something serious. E3 took up a lot of time and was back to back for several days straight, so it kind of burnt me out. I figured I'd take a break for a few days... then I found this. As weird as this sounds, it's been on my mind a lot lately (and not just because I've been listening to it on repeat, non-stop). I would hope that everyone seen this already, but if you haven't take a look:

     First off, on a less serious note, I would hope that this video will educate the younger masses as to what a cassette player is. I feel so old when people tell me stories of handing kids a VHS tape or a floppy disk and they say, "What's this?" Ah, those were much simpler times...
     Now for the serious. I will warn you that this is probably going to be boring ruminations, but I felt the need to write this out and I wanted to post something to the blog. So, without further ado...

Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos - Movie Review

     Something that I've been itching to try is to start doing anime reviews. Watching anime has been a part of my geeky routine for the past few years, and I've done a few posts on the blog about such things. As of late, this blog has been lacking in that department. I've just finished watching Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos, so I figure now is as good a time as any to start doing anime reviews. For this review, you should have already watched Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, preferably all the way through. So, without further ado... Ikuzo!

The End of a Celebration...

     And so "Star Wars Week" comes to a close... and what a fun week it was. A Star Wars movie every night for the past six nights has been great. It could have only been better if George hadn't botched the prequels and ruined the originals with his incessant meddling...

It's Star Wars Week, My Fellow Jedi...

     It's (unofficial) Star Wars week! May 19th through the 25th is the week in which all the Star Wars movies were released. This has been somewhat of a tradition for me for the past few years, and I hope to keep it going for the rest of my geeky life. I celebrate by watching all six movies over the course of the week, one per day. Yes, this means I watch the prequels too, as bad as they may be. The first few days are especially rough...

     Join me, and together we can enjoy the greatness that is Star Wars! Happy Star Wars week everyone!

May The Fourth Be With You...

     Happy May 4th, everybody. Be sure to watch your favorite Star Wars film, listen to some of the fantastic music, or play one of your favorite games. And may the Force be with you, always.

'Mount & Blade: Warband' Review

     So, buying Mount & Blade was quite possibly one of the best purchases I've made this year. I have been having a blast just messing around with it. "But what are some of the finer points?" Well, I'm glad you asked...

Finding box art for a downloadable PC game?  The definition of "difficult"...

'Deus Ex: Human Revolution' End Choice Musings

     Deus Ex: Human Revolution has four different endings, each of which is extremely well written. These endings aren't specifically governed by the choices you make in the game (those have other consequences which must be dealt with immediately after or very soon after the decision), but are decided with the press of a button. Literally. Here is a video of all the endings, which obviously contains spoilers:

Ocarina of Metal

     I was playing some Ocarina of Time when this happened...

     Okay, so it didn't actually happen exactly like that, but I couldn't stop thinking about it. And now it will forever and always be this way in your mind too...
