At ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ Premiere!
For those of you that do not know, going to midnight movie premiers is actually one of my all-time favorite activities. There is always a really awesome atmosphere of fans that attend midnight showings and I can’t get enough of it. As an avid moviegoer, so of course I went to the midnight release of The Amazing Spider-Man. Here is my opinion of the reboot:
As an avid Kingdom Hearts fan, I think I can speak for everyone when I say that we have been waiting far too long for the next installment of Sora’s journey. Even though Dream Drop Distance doesn’t come out for a little less than a month, Nintendo has kindly put up a demo of the game on the Nintendo 3DS’ eShop. But is it any good? Read on to find out!

Today is a big day for Mass Effect fans; the free, extended ending DLC for Mass Effect 3 will be available for download for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. In case you haven’t heard, Mass Effect 3’s conclusion made many fans feeling disappointed, confused, and even betrayed. This new DLC isn’t exactly a new ending for the game, but rather an extension, giving players more dialogue options and showing the fate of many characters seen throughout the Mass Effect trilogy. But why did fans demand such an action to be taken? Lets go over the reasons as to why Mass Effect 3’s ending is the most controversial finale this generation of gaming has seen.

During the Nintendo Direct broadcast last night, IGN broke news confirming the rumors behind a brand new installment in the 3DS line: the 3DS Big Mac XL!
Differences between the 3DS XL and the original 3DS include:
It costs $30 more than the original 3DS.
As a current 3DS owner, all I can say is that…I’m confused.
Like poetry? Like comic book reviews? Like brevity? Then this post is for you.
Microsoft revealed its very first tablet device yesterday during it’s press event in Los Angeles, called Surface, and man does it look pretty. At first glance it looks like any other tablet: very flat with a large screen. In terms of aesthetics, however, what sets this tablet apart from all the iPads and Kindle Fires is its integrated kickstand. In the video above it seems that the kickstand simply snaps into place when needed, and folds back against the tablet just as easily. While this isn’t a major innovation, it certainly is a cool feature. There is also the 3 mm thick Touch Cover, which is showcased in the video. Rather than buying an overly priced cover and a keyboard for your tablet separately, Microsoft has kindly made them into one accessary. Available in an array of colors, the Touch Cover is more than just a keyboard attachment. Rather than using buttons, it uses a pressure sensitive system that allows the user to type much faster than using a standard touch screen.
Invites for the Dawnguard Beta were sent out this week, and out of the thousands of people who applied, only 0.5% of the applicants were accepted. Sadly, I was not among them. Ever since I first saw the trailer for the new Skyrim DLC, felt like an 8 year old waiting for Christmas morning. Luckily the tentative release date for the expansion is June 26, so I and all the other aspiring crossbow wielding vampires don’t have much longer to wait. But despite the hype, not too many people really know what the expansion is about. Here’s a quick overview of some of the things you can expect to see.
Two of the things that make Nintendo games so lovable are the magical worlds and the characters that inhabit them. I don’t know a single person who doesn’t like exploring Hyrule as Link or saving the Mushroom Kingdom with the Mario Bros. But gamers have been doing these same things with these same characters for over two decades. With a new Nintendo home console on the way, I say it’s time mix things up; I want to see new and original franchises and older ones that we haven’t seen in years. Here are some games that I think need to make a comeback. Read the rest of this entry »
“When there’s trouble you know who to call…Teen Titans!” That was until 2006, when the popular kids television show was canceled.
But wait! The Titans returned in chibi form several months ago! They only existed as a small part of the DC Nation shorts, but fans were encouraged by this sudden revival that included all of the original voice actors. Maybe they’d revive the entire series?!
Well, turns out that is actually going to happen.
In 2013, new TV show Teen Titans Go! will debut as a part of the DC Nation block with all of the original voice actors.
More thoughts after the break!

A the start of the blog, I posted about What is the ‘DC New 52’?. A Third Wave of DC New 52 comics was just announced, so I thought it would be good to give an overall listing of each Wave of comics, as well as all of the DC series that are being cut. To reiterate, DC will be keeping its comic reboot to 52 individual series. DC is cancelling and replacing the series that are not selling well, which is why the new replacements are coming in ‘waves’.
