Nerdy Magazine Day

Usually I do the "forecasts" a day or so before Nerdy Magazine Day reaches us, but I have to be honest, I have been distracted as of late. It started out with playing Batman: Arkham City on my PS3 and now has led to me being semi-obsessed with DC Universe Online. Which is free to play now in case you were unaware like I was. What can I say? I love free shiz aha You can still pay to play the game in Legends Mode, with absolute full access to the game, but the free version is quite sufficient if I do say so myself. So far I have made 3 characters to play as. All from scratch, with downloadable/purchasable items as an option. First is my Hero, The Shwa....ahahaha Yes, I named him The Shwa, it is what the city I live in is nicknamed, but also I have a hard time finding names that work, the obvious are taken of course. The Shwa is mentored by Batman, and well I have and am trying to style him after the capes crusader both in looks and with no real super powers. All black cape and cowl, eventually I will be able to buy the more Batman-esque stuff from Batgirl in the Watchtower (oh, there is that, plus Gotham City and Metropolis, that is just what I have seen so far). My second character that I made is ClownKingOfChaos, and you guessed it, styled after and mentored by The Joker. Like The Shwa, ClownKingOfChaos has no real superpowers, however unlike The Shwa, my Villain comes with a nice set of guns, one for each hand, currently just basic ones really but there are bigger and better to be bought and earned. And so far, the weapons have made it a lot easier to kick arse and survive. Finally, there is my new Hero, which I am somewhat playing as I type this out, Ryan Lindon. Yep, just my name, I was going for Green Lantern Lindon and anything close to that but nothing would work. I have styled and profiled him after a Green Lantern obviously, best that I could, however I will be purchasing the Green Lantern DLC that apparently allows you to look the part as a member of the Green Lantern Corps., or any corps maybe, I swear I have seen some Atrocitus and other Red Lanterns out on the streets so other players possibly used the pack to make that, soooooo if that is the case then a Red Lantern will most def' be on deck. Ryan Lindon is unlike the previous two, having some superpowers and the ability of flight in place of the regular or "Flash" mode. Already I am enjoying watching him fly around with a nice green trail behind him. Oh, and he is mentored by Superman (Batman/Supes/Wonder Woman are the options).

It will take me awhile to get the real hang of things, like I said in previous posts, not a hardcore gamer here. I have to say though, DC Universe Online has everything that I have liked from the few genres I like. Free Roaming a la Grand Theft Auto, have spent a few hours just roaming the cities looking for "info" and "riddle" markers, as well as visiting places like Arkham Asylum and Metropolis to check them out. Comic Book genre helps of course, and then there is the creative aspect that I only ever really enjoyed in the pro wrestling games, mainly WWE titles. Already three peeps made, and thinking/wanting to make others.

Sorry if anyone relied on this blog for this weeks new releases, like I said, I became occupied, and no I am not one "them" (Wall Street, Google it if your all wtf aha). Today it is going to be a comic of Nerdy's choice if her Catwoman #3 is "not suitable for her age", but so far so good imo. It is Batman #3, and Justice League #3, which I need to add to the list for the "Lindon File" at Worlds Collide (my comic shop of choice). At this rate, hunting for back issues will require a financial upgrade on my part ahaha Geez, even so if they add a few new titles to the list of 52 currently being made by DC Comics. A new Bat or Lantern title would be a given almost. Annnnnnd here's the list of titles that DC Comics has coming out today at your local comic book store (list provided by ComicList.com)
