Lately I’ve been reading things about major networks taking off their Saturday morning cartoon lineup and whatnot. I don’t really know the details about all of it because news about Saturday morning cartoons just isn’t at the top of my radar anymore. But it got me to thinking about my favorite Saturday morning cartoons as a kid, so I decided to list my top ten. I think I did a blog like this before, but it’s been quite a while so I think it’s worth revisiting.
Welcome back to Nerds Without Pants! Angelo is out this week, which means Patrick and Julian talk way too long about comic books and TV. But at least we bookend it with some Destiny and Shadow of Mordor.
Or at least that's what the Los Angeles Times Magazine called it. Anybody know what I'm talking about? That's right! The Sandman! As in, the comic series by Neil Gaiman. I've read only the first volume so far and it is pretty much what everybody said. It was interesting and sets a great foundation for the series but wasn't particularly amazing. I tell you what, though, I have no idea where this is going to go and since it's about the King of Dreams, I guess it can go anywhere. And I'm really looking forward to it too! Now to start the second volume...
These five shows should be watched by everyone, imo
Summer’s winding down, so you know what that means. It’s time to write a blog about the movies I saw this past summer. There may be some slight spoiler warnings here and there, but I’ll try not to reveal anything major, just to let you know. OK, let’s begin!
Well happy Tuesday Pixlbit. I didn’t write my usual Monday blog because I had a dang sinus headache that just wouldn’t go away. I like to blame the recent rainstorms we had here in what is normally sunny Southern California. It was off and on but when it was on it sucked. I think I shook the majority of it, which means back to writing about my random gaming experiences for the week. Sound fun? For today’s entry I thought about going with a tablet theme and talk about the tablet games I’ve been playing. They are nothing new but I’ve been caught up.
In continuation of my recent foray into comic books, I started reading Watchmen this week. Hard to know what to expect when reading something so famous but so far it has been very interesting. Up to this point it's been almost entirely backstory (aside from the little bit that's been happening with Rorschach). I keep wondering when the "present day" is going to kick into high gear but at the same time I can't seem to put it down.
Happy Friday Pixlbit! So my Aztecs didn’t get the win last night. It is disappointing that the season ends this way but for a team that in the preseason was picked 4th in the conference, to knocking out Marquette, and Creighton in the John Wooden Classic, both of which were ranked, to going to Kansas and beating the Jayhawks in their barn, to winning the conference, being ranked as high a 5th in the nation, to finally making their 2nd Sweet Sixteen in four years, this wasn’t bad for a “rebuilding” team. I can’t complain. Hell of a ride, and I can’t wait for next year when the three super freshmen join the squad. S-D-S-U, SDSU AZTECS FIGHT! WOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Dark Souls 2 and Titanfall both are released tomorrow which is in like a half hour. I loved the Titanfall beta but Dark Souls is amazing. I will probably get Dark Souls 2 tomorrow as I like have that single player experience. And I am not feeling interacting with XBL people or people at my college. I have been volunteering my time in the weight room at my college. 10 and a half hours in two days plus my own lifting session plus track practices. It is a lot on top of everything. So I am adjusting to that. So I won't have lots of time to blog, play video games, or do anything "nerd" that I soooo do enjoy. I really want to read some comic books. I might try to get some on my phone so I can read them inbetween volunteer hours. I just really want to get into some indie stuff and dig deeper in my favorite super heroes. Sorry guys I haven't been as active as I was and fallen off pretty hard after BaD
Lets see......I really don't have anything today. I am not very good at ranking things or making top lists so I don't see that as an option. What else......um I found out I had a backloggery account. So thanks to Aaron, I will be updating and using the fortune cookie feature fairly soon. Then I will have a new game to play and blog about. I have this overwhelming feeling that I will be playing Kung Fu Panda.
Oh boy, today was fun. If you're in the New England area you, like me, were likely snowed in today. We got some serious snow dumped on us and as a result, I spent the day working from home. It actually wasn't too bad, minus the need to clear my damn driveway of snow. Thankfully that's all done now, so barring any great amounts more of snow, I should be out of the woods.
I've been really pathetic about keeping up this blog in the past 2 months. I've been online, commenting here and there but the need to update slowly eroded away recently. Either I'm too lazy or I felt there was nothing worth posting about.
I am rather swiftly getting to a point in my life where I honestly don't want to be considered a gamer. I don't want to be grouped in with the fucking idiots I see wandering around on sites like IGN, or Gamespot. Before you start with your "We're not all like that," I know that, but unfortunately, you're in the minority.
Hey everyone! I’ve got a big Thanksgiving feast planned right here on this blog for everyone to chow down into! But it’s not filled with turkey and pumpkin pie, but more game reviews for you to feast on! Your bellies may get a little plumper after reading, but my game reviews are full of nutrients so you’ll be filled with power, too! So please read as many as you can and post a comment or two as well, I’d appreciate it! Bon Appetit!
Well, we're a bit late thanks to technical difficulties and busy schedules, but the Nerds Without Pants are back with another special format. Once again there is no time for the media we've been consuming, as we are joined by fan favorite John Gholson to talk all things comic books.
The makers of the 2012 Game of the Year: The Walking Dead comes a gritty, violent and mature thriller based on the award-winning Fables comic books (DC Comics/Vertigo). As Bigby Wolf - THE big bad wolf - you will discover that a brutal, bloody murder is just a taste of things to come in a game series where your every decision can have enormous consequences. An evolution of Telltale's ground-breaking choice and consequence game mechanics will ensure the player learns that even as Bigby Wolf (THE Big Bad Wolf), Sheriff of Fabletown, life in the big bad city is bloody, terrifying and dangerous.
It’s that time of year again. All the holiday game releases start bunching up, so I have to eat a can of spinach, transform into Super Cary, and start reviewing games like a madman. So you may see these game review list blogs more often for the next couple of months. As always, please click on and read as many reviews as you can and post comments on them, too. I’d really appreciate it. Thanks.
So here it is again. Another week of random ads from the pages of bargain bin comic books. These come from several Marvel TeamUp issues all written by the now famous Robert Kirkman. Remember him accepting the award for The Walking Dead game with the Telltale Games guys at the Spike TV Video Game Awards Show? Kirkman is a class act he is. He's also a great writer and even though I have little interest in a Marvel TeamUp comic series (unless it has Doctor Strange), I found these really fun. As a bonus I got six video game ads from 2006. So, by the hoary hosts of Hoggoth, here they are.
