Denver Comic Con 2014 - Day 2 Wrap Up

/

A brief missive about Day 2 of Denver Comic Con before I head in for Day 3.  I attended a panel with Matthew Inman of The Oatmeal and learned a bit about his methods and inspirations.  The rest of the day was spent wandering the convention floor, talking with other attendees, and taking a few pictures with my phone.

THE GAMESLAVE PODCAST - EPISODE 183

/

Showing that small miracles can happen, all three of use managed to get together again for a podcast. Don't expect this event again for about 3 weeks due to birthday's and Denver Comic Con. But don't dwell on that, dwell on this weeks topics of Watch_Dogs, Star Trek, and Denver Comic Con.

The Professional Gamer - June 6, 2014

/

Hello Readers! Today is my birthday and I am old. Old as balls. But I'm still doing geeky things on a regular basis. Read on to learn what I'm doing this week.

Reading: I finished reading through The Hobbit today and started reading The Lord of the Rings. I still get choked up a little during the death of Thorin. Finishing one of Tolkien's books always leaves me feeling very satisfied, as though I have just eaten a filling and well-balanced meal. Onward I go through the quest to destroy the Ring.

Watching: This week we have been watching more of the original Star Trek. So far we have only watched the pilot ("The Cage") and the first episode ("The Man Trap"). So far I am enjoying it in spite of the sometimes cheesy effects.

Playing: In the same vein as Star Trek: The Original Series, I've reinstalled Star Trek Online. At this point, it has been so long since I played last, that I decided to start a new character so that I can go through the tutorial mode again. Currently I'm still stuck in my starter ship, but I'm making good progress. At this point, I'm not sure why I quit playing several years ago. I'm sure I'll be reminded as I continue playing.

That's all I have to discuss this week. We are counting down the days until Denver Comic Con starts. Come see us at booth D43 in Artist Valley; we have lots of great stuff for sale. Have a great week and game on!

Mortal Kombat X Officially Announced

/

After being outed by Amazon UK (nice job guys) NetherRealm Studios has released an announcement trailer for Mortal Kombat X. Could this have gone smoother? Sure, it could have waited one freaking week to happen at E3, probably like they planed. But seeing how the cat is out of the bag, here it is. By the way, if you are squeamish or don't want to have young children see violence usually saved for HBO and Game of Thrones, you may want to hold off on watching this.
