D&D - Part One

Our unsuspecting heroes were sitting at the quaint tavern in the town of Seawell. Six characters in total; Meaghan's character, Vache the half-elf cleric, my very own Starfox, the dwarven fighter, Luke's Ethios, the elven ranger, Goofy Ricky's Sir Brickhouse X, the gnomish bard, Joey's Pye, the halfling sorcerer, and Kazimier, Alex's elvish rogue.

The following are the events that followed in our first serious startup in the realm of Dungeons and Dragons 3.5.

I should do a update about every week to keep a cohesive storyline going on.

Links!

Today we have added two links to our friends tab, found on the right of your screen, to join Game and Tech.

The first of these being Korrok The Unseeable. This is a blog created and maintained by our friend Alex Frid, a fellow Humber student. It is a blog about media in general, and is just really hard to classify. But definitely check it out.

The second link we have added is to The Static Urgent. This site is created and maintained by Matt Thomson, Isaac Springall, and Matt Stuart. It is another very indescribable blog. It has really entertaining, and really unique, posts.

GOLDENEYE COMING TO Wii maybe Ps3/360

This is it everyone, the time we have all been waiting for one of the greatest games of all time is coming to the Wii and possibly the 360 and PS3. Earlier this year Activision leaked the news that they planned to release a new James Bond game in 2010. After the leaked information nothing else was heard about it until now!

According to the CV(resume) of an animator at Eurocom Entertainment Software named Craig Peck a new Goldeneye game is being developed for the Wii gamezine.co got a hold of Peck's CV and it says:"Eurocom Entertainment Software, Derby, United Kingdom: July 09 – Sept 09 Animator – GoldenEye 2010 (Wii) - Animator on Activision’s James Bond series for the Nintendo Wii”

When more information is released I will post it here but for now Goldeneye fan can rejoice and have something to look forward to

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 New Characters!

A while ago marvel announced the addition of 5 downloadable characters for MUA2. This is something we saw with the original MUA with the hero and villain packs, I personally downloaded the character pack for the original and thought it added a lot more re-playability to the game. As of now marvel has released 3 out of the 5 characters; Cable, Carnage and Psylocke. Below is my opinion on these characters.

Left 4 Dead Leaked Trailer

This video was leaked late last night and, as always when dealing with Valve, it does not dissapoint at all. It seems they are injecting a bit of a storyline into our zombie killing this time around, and the special infected look wonderful...and annoying...and awesomely badass.

Dragon Ball: Raging Blast Demo Impressions

Let this be clear, I am no fanboy of the Dragon Ball Z series or of fighting games, but I adore the outrageous DBZ fight scenes as well as the famous meme that is at least over 9000.

Mass Effect 2 Release Date Announced

The voted "Best of Show" game for E3 2009 finally has a release date. EA announced yesterday that Mass Effect 2 will be available for sale in North America on January 27 with Europe getting it later on the 29th, as usual. "Any preorder bonuses?" you ask? Certainly. Most retail stores are giving out codes for the Inferno suit (seen below left) which looks an awful lot like Iron Man and increases negotiation skills, run speed, and combat damage. Gamestops or EB Games in Canada will be getting a code for the Terminus suit (seen below right). It augments run speed, damage, shields, and adds an additional magazine of reserve ammo. The M-490 Blackstorm Heavy weapon (also seen below right) is also added to EB Games preorder package. From what I've heard it generates a localized gravity well, so it's going to be kicking ass and taking names. All I can say is it's about time we heard something about the sequel to my favorite RPG and I cannot wait to preorder some awesomeness.

Apology to Play Station Owners

If you are a PS3 owner you will undoubtedly know about the release of Drakes Fortune 2: Among Thieves and probably are playing it now. You also may be wondering why we haven't put a review up about it and as lead video game writer I feel obligated to tell you why. I can't afford it. If the PS3 slim came out a couple months ago I wouldn't be writing this. I have little reserves for food and Xbox games for the holiday season, and buying a new system plus games couldn't fit into my budget. Also I bought a bitchin new laser. You know the green ones? There's one even powerful. Violet, fucking right!

fucking right

Anyways for that I am sorry that I cannot provide you with a review but what I can tell is that I have heard nothing but good about this game. If you'd like to tell me about it, please leave a comment below. In conclusion, I can't afford it because I have a state-of-the-art laser being shipped to me from China, and I hear DF2 is great. That is all.

WoW Patch Update

As you walk closer and closer you feel the air grow cold... the wind howls and shattering chills down your spine... There is a feeling about you that you have never felt before… the feeling of death. The Lich King and his Runeblade Frostmourne are waiting.

Thy Mushroom Kingdom Come

Just a quick little video. This nice little Left 4 Dead mod is courtesy of DoritoClock. And it looks like a good amount of fun for all you PC L4D players out there.

EA Joins the comic book industry!

Listen up Comic and Video game fans because today IDW Publishing has announced that it has teamed up with EA two launch two new comics and an entire EA imprint! EA will be calling their imprint very simply "EA Comics", they have also confirmed on IGN that all titles will be available not only in print but also to download to the IPhone and IPod Touch.

Only two titles have been officially announced, Army of Two which will be written by Peter Milligan from Hellblazer and X-Men fame. The first Army of Two story arc will be called "Across the Border" and will focus on Salem and Rios, two ex-Army Rangers who are trying to form their own private Military Corporation. The comic story will follow the storyline of the first game, but it takes place before the Invasion by Shanghai.

The second comic that EA will be publishing is called Dragon Age and no details have been released yet except that it will be based off Bioware's new game and written by Scott Card. 

Stay tuned for more details

Dead Space 2 Development Announced

According to Electronic Arts, Dead Space 2 has begun development with no projection of when it will be finished. Which brings up the question, why wasn't this in development right after it came out? This game was in my top 5 games of 2008. It sold well, so while so long to get crackin at a new one? Does EA Redwood Shores studios have issues? Whatever it could be, it's good to know it's been resolved (or at least quelled) and there will be more of me screaming like a pre-teen girl to come.

Lego Rock Band

So here I am sitting in the lounge of my residence, doing some homework and mindlessly browsing the newest Kotaku posts. When all of a sudden I stumble upon a post titled 'Lego David Bowie Sways Under The Serious Moonlight."

Turns out it was Lego Rock Band.

Captivated, I click on the read more button. (hint)

Marvel Civil War

Hero versus hero, villains hired by the government to track down heros, an armoured avenger versus a patriotic icon, where can you find all of this? Inside marvel's civil war. I know what many of you are thinking, that civil war happened over a year ago but with the recent release of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 which deals heavily with the civil war storyline I figure why not review one of the most in depth marvel storylines.
