For the past 5 years I've been saving the galaxy in my spare
time. Intermittently of course. Saving multiple civilizations is a tall
order, and I couldn't just do it in a few days.</div>

I finally completed <i><b>Mass Effect 3</b></i>. I was one of the ones that waited. I had heard all of the nasty things about the
game and I decided I would wait for a price drop. The day 1 DLC fiasco helped solidify my
decision. I would wait for a brand new/sealed
copy off of eBay for half the price, and then buy the From Ashes DLC. As I waited, I heard rumors of the ending
controversies. People were saying that
what you did throughout the last 3 games didn’t really matter. I was able to avoid the discussion and the
ending wasn’t spoiled for me. Due to the
controversy, Bioware released the <i><b>Mass Effect 3</b></i> Extended Cut endings.</div>

Becky and I have been working hard on pre-production wizardry for our second feature film, <i>The Last Buck Hunt</i>. We are ridiculously excited to get started on it!

I guess I should preface this with the fact that I grew up
loving JRPGs. However, lately they’ve
been in sharp decline. For quite a few
years, a JRPG hasn’t been able to hold my attention. As an adult I’ve had too many games to play,
and too little time. Then <i><b>Xenoblade Chronicles</b></i> appeared.</div>

What happens when you create a rig with 30 GoPro cameras? Awesome surfing videos, that's what! <a href="http://ripcurl.com/" target="_blank">Ripcurl</a> released this badass surfing video where time stops and the viewer can move through the scene. It is the same idea of that <i><b>The Matrix</b></i> used for all of its spin-around-the-character-bullet-time shots. Since GoPros are so cheap and robust we will be seeing a lot more of these kick ass videos.<br>

Gaming is an essential part my life. There is something about great games that can sooth a person's soul. This French video really encapsulates what it is like to invest your love and passion into games. Everything about this video is reigns true for gamers. It is awesome to see video/computer game deconstructed with depth and understanding. Too many times do we take the macho road and express our love for games through our joy of violence. It is much more than than that. The violence is pretty awesome, but there is something else there that pulls people. Hopefully, now the that the gaming industry is smashing every other entertainment medium we will start to see more meditations on what it is to be a gamer.Nick Sayershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10847401542140680363noreply@blogger.com0France46.227638 2.21374940.608644 -7.893673 51.846632 12.321171tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810657172442538263.post-1996205495998983412012-03-03T13:07:00.000-08:002012-03-03T13:16:09.627-08:00Fistful of Flicks On Netflix You Haven't Seen<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<i><b>Borderlands 2</b></i>. It looks like the first <b><i>Borderlands </i></b>(which is enough) and the trailer already sold me. I am not a hard sell though. If you mix hardcore action, pink bold titles, a dancing robot, and dubstep you might as well just take the money directly out of my bank account. The dancing robot bit in the trailer is just priceless. CL4P-TP (Claptrap) FTW. Check out the trailer after the jump.<br>

Two things I love in this world are <b><i>Aliens</i></b> and <b style="font-style: italic;">Moon. </b>Take Clint Mansell's beautifully harrowing score and slap it on a <i><b>Aliens Colonial Marines</b></i> game trailer and you have me hooked. The game will be out in the fall. It will feature multiplayer co-op against aliens. Yup you and your friends can do squad based combat against ALIENS. I have been waiting for this game since I was 12 years old. I am just praying it delivers like the <i><b>Left 4 Dead</b></i> series. Check out the trailer after the jump!<br>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Just because a film is dated, it
doesn't mean that it can't be awesome. This is exactly the case with<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000520/"> Michael Mann</a>'s 1983 film, <b><i>The Keep</i></b>. Said film is awesome for two reasons: (1) its
philosophical questions about power, evil, and suffering espoused by excellent
actors and (2) its trippy laser light show action.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

The <i><b>Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning</b></i> demo is out and it delivers. Sure, I had to peel myself away from <i><b>Skyrim</b></i> to download it, but I am extremely glad I did. Take T<i><b>odd McFarlane's</b></i> fantastic artistic style that blends brutality with beauty then let <i><b>R.A.

If you are a fellow <i><b>Diablo</b></i> lover you will be enthralled with this simple, yet, enlightening <i><b>Diablo</b></i> retrospective. Not only does it detail the story of how the games came to be, it also gives a priceless recap of the first two <i><b>Diablo</b></i> games. Check it out after the jump. Also, if you haven't already heard, there is a strong rumor going around about <i><b>Best Buy </b></i>displays showing <i><b>Diablo III</b></i> with a February 1st release date. Exciting times indeed! See you all in hell!<br>

<i><b>A Better Tomorrow</b></i> was the first Hong Kong Woo Fu Opera I had the grace of seeing. I think I bought it in a bargain bin at K-Mart, because it said "from the director of <b><i>Face Off</i></b> on it. I've always held the film dear because it opened me up to my favorite genre of action: the Hong Kong Opera.<br>

<i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1727252/">Chillerama</a></i> is a schlocky horror anthology. It's comprised of four midnight movies, all jam-packed with raunchy, over-the-top, gory, cheesy, offensive humor. Today, I'm here to talk about the most awesome of these dastardly concoctions of cinema: <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1697112/">Adam Green</a>'s <i>The Diary of Anne Frankenstein.</i> <br>

'Faith' used to be my staple, now it is the <i><b>Sexy Sax Man</b></i>.<br />

<b><i>Diablo</i></b>. Not <b><i>Diablo II</i></b>. The O.G. <b><i>Diablo</i></b>
where you had to walk in town. That's right kids, there actually is a <b><i>Diablo
1</i></b>. And it was mind blowing. My true love for RPG's and dungeon crawling
started when I was twelve years old. I
rolled a wizard and journeyed beneath the plagued <b>Tristram</b>. My fire balls scorched zombies and skeletons alike just
to hear that loot hit the cold cobblestone of the catacombs. A ring here, a
broken buckler there, and sometimes even a staff with more than 15 charges of
chain lighting(<a href="http://youtu.be/npK7fis6dHE">a item worthy of duping</a>).
