ENHANCED BOREDOM

We all get bored at some point. But usually it isn't hard to change that. I'm usually like that too. However, the current situation isn't allowing a break from the boredom. The inability to fully use my hand is limiting what I can do period let alone occupy my brain with hobbies and interests. And am slowly having similar symptoms in the other hand. Which is either an extension of what's happening or is due to the new overuse because it's been picking up the slack. Even typing this on my phone is aggravating something. But, literally nothing else to do.

Video games, drawing, or even writing my own name is near impossible. Video games are slightly possible based on which game. Ironically, if this is MS, video games are actually part of the rehabilitation process to regain hand dexterity. I actually find humor in that. "Why are you playing video games? You're 35 years old." To which I simply reply, "Because the doctor said so!".
This leaves me with movies and television. Movies are hard as once I've seen a movie I tend to do things like write or draw when I watch again. Ok not tend to, it's what I do. And with television, season is ending for the shows I can bare to watch. Which is really limited to nerdish things. Mainly wrestling. Which is a future entry in itself as things are horrible right now on many levels and fronts. Organization and direction. But again, for a future entry.
I am itching to restart the workout regimen or even begin a rehabilitation program but can't really do either until at least knowing what is up. Which could be a number of things. Singular or possibly a couple of issues happening at once.

I have zero idea in how to pay for the schooling, but a positive from all of this is that physical therapist is appealing to me. It would almost be like combining the nerd and athlete within. I'm a libra so I love (and hate) things that balance. Stay Nerdy!

ON THIS DAY JULY 19TH

I guess it is somewhat of an anniversary around here. Going through the "On This Day..." on Facebook, and my first entry came up. A lot has changed in the last 5 years, and of course a lot has remained generally the same. This blog evolved into somewhat of a mini-site, which I have come and gone from over the years. Life outside of this of course getting in the way. However, not that it has all been a bad thing. I workout  now, trying to rebuild myself both physically and mentally. Slow start, but I have become addicted to all of it, so I have no intentions of slowing down.

Another issue was my trying to make more than a blog. Adds pressure trying to cover breaking news, reviews, and opinions for comic books, movies, tv shows, video games, and wrestling. I plan to roll things back a bit and just take the "here's my opinion" route more often than anything. Although there was an adrenaline rush trying to get the scoop on other site through social media platforms. But, it gets tiring trying to take on teams of people who make revenue through their sites. I am lucky if I make a penny a month. I am Canadian, so pennies are obsolete haha Money would be nice, but I started all of this as simply an outlet to voice my opinion...like basically everyone else with access to the internet.
But somehow, I am going to make this into a brand. I never thought of any of this being a brand, or my being capable to create one. I had a few thousand Facebook gamers know me as The Joker or Mr. J during Zynga's heyday. Only dabbled in Mafia, as Heroes Vs Villains was my wheelhouse. In hindsight, that was kind of my having a brand and not being aware of it. Obviously, the name is owned by others but it was a start. This all comes up as I was asked on Instagram (where I post nerd fit memes) about my brand, and clearly don't have one per say. Now, I am curious if this is something I can and should do. And if I do, then what exactly.
Do I just keep doing as I am doing, but with more focus and direction? Do I finally lift the veil and stop worrying about the opinions and feelings of others? As I have attempted to maintain a positive vibe around here, always looking for the positives in things even though negativity tends to draw the people in. Do I pick a specific area and focus the brand on that? Wrestling has been life long, comic books are a close second, with movies and television being almost simply an everyday thing. Video games are the weak spot. I do love gaming, just not at the level of others and I have specific preferences as to what I play. Nerd Fit, which is generally a fancy name for a nerd working out, is my current obsession. Should I focus on that, include it in the group?

To steal a line from Jack Nicholson's Joker, "So much to do in so little time.", but I am still in the should I or shouldn't I phase of all of this. I have plenty of time, as I run out when I am dead, and I don't think I am dead....right?...oh sh!t...what if this is all a Sixth Sense type deal happening?...I need an adult...


For more Nerd Fit, Comic Book, Movie, TV Show, Video Game, and Wrestling stuff! Head on over to Non-Geeky Nerd and check things out! Stay Nerdy!

NGN FAVORITES: VIDEO GAMES

I was a spoiled kid, but parent didn't focus that on video games. Not complaining, just explaining the shortness on some platforms. Plus, I grew up when video stores were in their prime and the sharing with friends option was always there. I've always gotten a console when I asked for one, so that was pretty good considering I had 3 siblings and I had to share nothing (9+yrs older here). Now as an adult, I have my "must haves" and everything else is a wait for a price drop or go on sale. Here are all the games that I have liked since Mario popped my cherry in the 1980's...

Fav NES Games
  • Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt
  • Super Mario Bros. 2
  • Super Mario Bros. 3
  • Batman: Return Of The Joker
  • Mega Man 3
  • RBI Baseball
  • The Legend Of Zelda
  • Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
  • Mike Tyson's Punch Out
Mario was boss for me in the beginning, as I am sure he was for the majority of the general video game fans back then. Tastes evolve, but you don't forget your first haha Duck Hunt makes it for usage, both being the second game I owned (coming with Super Mario Bros.) and for being the only game I used the gun for haha There were some wrestling games both from WWF (WWE) and NWA (WCW), but they were a bigger part of my later years in terms of time spent. I also had the Power Glove, but could never get the damn thing to work haha

Fav SNES Games
  • Super Mario World
  • Super Mario All-Stars
  • Street Fighter II Turbo
  • Super Street Fighter II
  • NHL '94
  • NBA Jam
  • Spider-Man And Venom: Maximum Carnage
  • Sim City
  • Donkey Kong Country
Mario makes it in again, for the same reasons. Super Mario All-Stars sneaks in for allowing us to play the originals (a lot of NES became hard to use, and didn't know how to clean and that as a kid), and giving the lost levels (which was basically exactly like Super Mario Bros.) was okay if bored. Was slightly obsessed with the Street Fighter games, having a need to see the end stories for all characters (I didn't mind the movie, it was different but loved the game to didn't care too much then haha). NHL '94, on sale at the now defunct Bi-way, and I am Canadian.

Fav N64 Games
  • Mario 64
  • WWF War Zone
  • WWF Wrestlemania 2000
  • WWF No Mercy
  • Resident Evil 2
  • Donkey Kong 64
  • The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time
  • The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask
  • Spider-Man
The Nintendo 64 holds memories, mainly being that played and completed Mario 64 Christmas Eve while I wrapped every present, including the ones for myself (it was a lot too, 4 of us kids and spoiled). With the N64 began the Wrestling obsession. Constantly in creative mode, making multiple variations of myself and wrestlers not featured in the game. I was one of the rare people who didn't actually enjoy 007, I just don't like first person shooters.

Fav X-Box Games
  • WWE RAW
  • WWE RAW 2
  • Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic
  • Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
  • Batman Begins
  • Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4
I didn't play much on my X-Box. I initially got it because I wanted the feature to add music to it (pre-everything can store music, and everyone has something days). I absolutely loved the two Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic games, and still wish that the franchise would come to the Dark Side that is Playstation consoles.

Fav Playstation Games
  • Twisted Metal III
  • Gran Turismo
  • Crash Bandicoot
  • Final Fantasy VII
  • Final Fantasy VIII
  • Final Fantasy IX
  • Legend Of Legaia
  • Legend Of Dragoon
  • Spyro The Dragon
Most of my initial PSone playing came when I would swap my N64 with my little brother for his Playstation. Memory there was finally getting licenses, saving it of course, and him losing the memory card haha The majority came later when my lady and I had one. There came Final Fantasy. Which I enjoyed before, but owned later and got to play the crap out of them. With those came the games she liked with Dragoon and Legaia.

Fav PS2 Games
  • Grand Theft Auto III
  • Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
  • Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
  • Bully
  • Spider-Man 2
  • WWE Here Comes The Pain
  • WWE Shut Your Mouth
  • WWE Raw Vs Smackdown!
  • Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
  • Dark Cloud
This is when Wrestling games were at an all time high for me, again lost in creative modes. With the PS2 O was introduced to Grand Theft Auto III. Needless to say, basically I play needs to be similar in terms of game play. Free-mode, huge maps, first person mode is non-existent or optional. The follow-ups were even better. Although the amount of commercial time Vice City had might have forced us, at least up here in Canada where the commercial was airing even a few years after (on The Score/Sportsnet360).

Fav PS3 Games
  • Batman: Arham Asylum
  • Batman: Arkham City
  • Batman: Arkham Origins
  • Grand Theft Auto IV
  • DC Universe Online
  • Lego Batman: The Video Game
  • Lego Batman 2: DC Superheroes
  • Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II
  • Spider-Man 3
Remember what I said about Grand Theft Auto? Well, Grand Theft Auto IV started my wishing I had a Batman game like that. Envisioning Gotham as I cruised the city. I eventually got that with the Arkham series. I was not disappointed either, given that franchise is now ahead of Grand Theft Auto. PS3 also gave me my first online experience with DC Universe Online. Which I have thoroughly enjoyed, and hoped they gave a new version on PS4. And like many other immature adults, or those with kids to use an excuse, I enjoy the Lego games. Of course, Batman takes the cake there.

Fav PS4 Games
  • Batman: Arkham Knight
  • Grand Theft Auto V
  • Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
  • Assassin's Creed: Syndicate
  • Deadpool
  • Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham
  • Lego Marvel Superheroes
  • DC Universe Online
Batman: Arkham Knight left me hoping that it isn't the end. Regardless, it is why I wanted to upgrade from a PS3. And although I hadn't played previous installments, which may be why, I really like the Assassin's Creed franchise. That happened through Black Flag and Syndicate, which goes against the grain from what I hear. Deadpool was originally a PS3 game, but I only have it on PS4 so it makes this list. Although not a direct movie rip-off, but an upgrade would be nice for the Merc With A Mouth. Still not a whole lot of PS4 games just yet, and hopefully there will be a ton more, given rumors that PS5 will be purely digital.

THINGS I KIND OF MISS IN GTA

Now before I begin, I should point out that I haven't even cracked the surface of Grand Theft Auto V. One of the last things I did in the game before joining The Darkside of GTAOnline was reintroduce Trevor to Michael haha My original intention was to play and complete the main game, and then, pop my cherry in the online world of Grand Theft Auto. Things changed, I got hooked, and am now planning on returning to regular game mode when I let my Playstation Plus membership run out and take a break from it. I mention this as perhaps some of the things I am about to mention are in the regular game and I just haven't "unlocked" them yet. All I know for sure is that they are absent from at least the online world.

Taxi Cabs
With the online version I kind of get the absence, people could simply target the yellow cabs and people would stop using them . It would be funny to see them replace the taxi's of old with uber drivers and cars. It would poke fun of the "war" between the two, as well as eliminate the targeting mentioned above. I'm lazy at times, I do tend to play solo, and would make doing some daily objectives easier to do in terms of distance traveled for say the Flight School stuff.

Restaurants
I do like how we can go into more places now and do more things. Clothing stores, Ammunation, etc. But, the restaurants should have stuck around in my opinion. Both to recharge/heal our characters, but also more places to rob. The stores simply weren't enough, and it sucks that we can't rob other places. Could have perhaps made them as options when planning jobs. Can visualize the trophy/achievement for one of each in one go as police involvement increases with each passing hold-up.

Working Out
I liked this aspect from GTA: San Andreas. I also like how we have to build up skills and qualities, and build each up in a variety of ways (swimming, running, shooting, etc). I also like how there are a variety of activities like golf, tennis, shooting range, etc. I just miss the ability to bulk and de-bulk our characters. Yes, I like aspects similar to The Sims. I see GTA Online as The Sims for the cooler people haha

Grand Theft Auto III
Weird thing to say, but it is the only game in the franchise that I haven't really noticed. GTA: San Andreas is obviously there (you can even drive up to your old home...pack heat though...not a warm welcome at times haha) given the location of the game. There are some parts that reminded me of GTA: Vice City, there was one area (which of course I can't find again) that reminded me of the area around your initial hideout in the that game. Whether that was intentional or not, I am not sure. GTA IV may not have locations, but I do know that the main character is at least seen on the "internet" within the game. But nothing about GTA III from what I have seen. I know it took place in Liberty City, but still. It was the game that truly launched this franchise. Homage should be paid....again, unless I missed it haha

Again, I simply missed this stuff in the main game having only just begun. In case this is all correct, then I stand by my word haha Perhaps I am just greedy, being a typical hater of change (well, more loss), or a combination of them all. That doesn't matter haha With what we pay to simply play (cost of game, cost of PS Plus, DLC's to stop from getting bored) we deserve it all haha And if the future is a purely digital video game world, I will be demanding the absolute best!....I'll likely just settle and accept things, but I will blog about it dammit! haha

COMIC BOOK VIDEO GAMES: STILL WAITING

It is the age of the comic book nerd in entertainment right now. Television has been had a jump in number of comic book shows that are on with Arrow, The Flash, The Walking Dead, Marvel's Agents Of SHIELD, Daredevil, quite a few others and more in the works. Movies always had a comic book presence, just not at the rate we have seen the last decade. And DC Comics is just now truly adding to the mix so combined with everything Marvel is putting out, there is a lot of movies.

You would think that video games would also be right up there in terms of quantity. Quality is improving with each passing console I must add, but there needs to be an increase in numbers for sure.It is hard to believe that with the success of the Batman: Arkham franchise, DC Comics didn't jump at expanding its empire within the video game world. Same can be said with Marvel, who of the two tends to be the merchandising machine, but not the case here. Not that anyone is asking for games that are basically video game versions of the movies, but something based on them. Spider-Man 1-3 did this early with free-roaming capabilities and only similarities with the movies. Everything else was almost its own video game universe loaded with comic book universe references. Why not do this with The Avengers universe that has unfolded? Either a collective or individual games. There are so many characters within both DC and Marvel's worlds that would almost work instantly in the styling of Batman: Arkham franchise. Green Arrow, The Flash from top of my head for DC Comics if we are eliminating flying capabilities. The Punisher, Spider-Man, and Deadpool for Marvel. Deadpool was recently re-released on PS4 (picture was a happy accident that was left as is haha), but it was an older PS3 game, and some upgrades would make for an epic game. Visually and story line. Add Ryan Reynolds as the voice. Might be gold.

I am sure there is a valid reason for the lack of presence by comic books in the video game market. Or perhaps they are in the works given the success in other fields. I am itching for something, given that I haven't come across anything saying there will be more Batman games with Batman: Arkham Knight being the final chapter of the Arkham franchise. Would love to see perhaps a villain version. The Joker and others. Just saying.

MORE WRESTLING THAN ANYTHING ELSE

If there are any "regulars" out there, you may wonder why so many more wrestling than anything else entries. Well, that is simply because professional wrestling never stops. I've said before what the WWE has become is truly sports entertainment.  Unlike other television shows and sports, there isn't an off-season in wrestling. Sure, we may get a pre-taped RAW if Christmas lands on a Monday, but we still get something.

With sports entertainment, there is also many other things to talk about then RAW or Smackdown!, even though there are things to talk about there on a weekly basis. There is the past, the present, the future of each superstar and diva (sorry, wrestlers and womens wrestlers), which include things like character direction, who they should face, who they should face again because it was amazing before. There is the direction of the WWE and the rest of the promotions out there. There are countless rumors and incidents to talk about. Countless "what if..." and "should be"s on every level of the business.
This time of year is Wrestlemania season, so there is even more things to talk about. This years event and it's card, how it should be, how things will turn out. Opinions on how things did go down, the next nights RAW. Plus, there is 31 previous Wrestlemania's and the matches they contained or should have.
I don't get this from anything else. Television shows usually only last so long before they are cancelled, or simply decide to end their runs. Television also functions as "seasons", so we only get half a years worth really, and nowadays with the breaks during the season. Movies are similar, except there is usually a 2-3 year gap between films, and that is if there is even a follow-up film. And revamps are highly possible (looking at you Spider-Man). With comic books it all depends on what you read and how publishing schedules work out. Even then, you are likely looking at a monthly wait for the next issue. Plus, now even the comic books are in a near constant revamp and relaunch mode.

With wrestling the worst that really happens are injuries or sudden character changes or firings, but even all of that gives fans something to talk about. So, if anyone was curious as to why the wrestling posts are heavier than anything else, that is why. Or if you don't care, I completely understand haha

GAMER OR NOT

Not sure I really deserve the title of "gamer". Sure, I play video games and have been since I was about 5-6 years old. Certain games will cause me to obsess and play the hell out of them for stretches of time. The choices though that trigger that from me are limited. Grand Theft Auto and Batman: Arkham series are the only things that do that. Haven't played any wrestling games in years, but those used to bring the gamer within, out for awhile. Grand Theft Auto V has and hasn't done that. Haven't gotten anywhere near completion of the main story, but the online has me slightly hooked. Even then though, it is almost purely "solo". Real gamers know almost everything, or at the least know every aspect of their favorite franchises. Who voiced them, who made them, etc. This just isn't me to an extent. Sure, I know that Keven Conroy and Mark Hamil voiced Batman and The Joker in the Batman: Arkham series, but that is also because their voices go all the way back to Batman: The Animated Series from when I was a prepubescent. That and every comic book site was covering the news on the games, for obvious reasons haha

Now, you may think I am possibly putting myself down or something. I'm not, as I have seen the positives of this. It is like other things really. An example would be with the Assassin's Creed franchise. Apparently, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag wasn't well received by those who fell in love with the franchise during Assassin's Creed I-III. I however, had never played the earlier installments, and that may be why I actually enjoyed Black Flag.The reason most likely being that I had zero expectations going in. I simply had finished Batman: Arkham Knight on my newly purchased PS4, and was looking for a new game. And since the selection is still somewhat limited, I didn't have much to choose from and plus it was on sale. Regardless, it has made me interested in playing more of the installments in the franchise (which I have with Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, which I also enjoyed, and will be getting Assassin's Creed: Unity as well).
I also heard a rumor that the PS5 will be purely digital games, with no hard copies. I'm a "collector" and like to "hold" onto things that I purchase. This will suck for me at first, and possibly cut back my gaming. Being in my mid to late 30's at that time will have nothing to do with it haha Seriously though, it won't haha
Another "positive" has been that I may notice and enjoy the smaller things in things like graphics and game play. A real Gamer will notice and like/dislike things too, but they may standout more to people like me. It's hard at times not to walk outside and think about Grand Theft Auto V. Graphics and detail upgrades are amazing to me.

Or is the monicker "gamer" similar to that of "nerd" and "geek"? Where it is simply enjoying something a scoch more than the average person? In that case, I would be a gamer, just like I am a nerd. And when you think about that, a lot more people are nerds than what we think. Other than the obvious, what is the difference between someone who likes video games or comic books and someone who knows everything about an athlete, sports team, car, etc etc? But, that is a topic for another day. Till then.

TRYING TO BLOG

I keep approaching this as if it is an article and not a blog entry. Reason being is I did attempt to make a mini-site combining various blog pages (can find it HERE). The only real difference the replacing "we" with "I". So, since that is how I am supposed to do this part, so be it haha

Not sure what to really write about, often wondering why since majority of todays nerds n geeks use podcasts to get their opinions and thoughts out there. Well, in terms of skills, I rank much higher in written than verbal. Plus, depression is a real biatch and just don't feel like it. Depression, now there is a topic I've never had to discuss in regards to my "nerdism". Usually I am able to use comic books, tv shows, movies, and video games to get out the funk/rut. Not the case as of late. This bout has been something new for me. Quit my job, which is fine except I didn't wait to have another lined up to replace it. To make it worse, I actually planned on growing within the company. But, it just became too much with non-work bullshit mixing in with work bullshit. Only positives are that I was immediately happier, still depressed but better. I no longer had to pick up the slack because of piss poor hiring choices by weak management. Why would I want to be "mentored" by them when I only respect 3 out of 10-11 of them. I liked more than that, but only respected few. Almost made it out onto the sales floor, but couldn't hold on passed the agreed 3 week mark. And when someone wants out of an area, what moron gives them even more shifts than normal in that area? Ah well, I am rambling about none important stuff and  life goes on. Another job will come about. Has to, "Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice" comes out in a month. Need money to go see that with my woman and oldest daughter. Who I absolutely must take, as she wasn't old enough to join for "Deadpool". Which is okay by me, as some scenes would have been awkward watching beside my kid haha

There are quite a few movies coming out for my comic book family to watch this year. Some will be in theaters, but some will also be a "wait for it on Blu-Ray" viewing. Will definitely be going to see "Suicide Squad" in theaters. Big Mr. J fan and have been waiting since "The Dark Knight" for his character to return to the big screen. And of course to see, Harley Quinn making her live action movie debut. Margot Robbie looks and sounds great to me. Hot to be honest, which makes for another awkward thing for me as I named my youngest Harleigh Quinn (fem version and looks prettier). And anytime I point to a picture or clip of Harley Quinn (any version) and ask who that is she replies, "That's Me!" haha
On the fence about going to see on the big screen is "Captain America: Civil War". Looks amazing, but not really a fan of going to the movies. Loud people talking and eating. Kids. Bad seating. Crowded. On a good day it isn't like this though and I do enjoy things until I have to pee and don't want to miss anything haha
Might make a date night out of seeing "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". May only be because of the cartoon and movies, but it is one of the few comic book things she actually likes on her own haha
Everything else coming out like "X-Men: Apocalypse", "Gambit", and "Dr. Strange" will be viewed a la Blu-Ray whenever they come out. Don't have much hope for X-Men universe, except for "Deadpool" (obviously) so in no rush to see any of them.

Then it will be a wait for 2017 kind of thing with "Justice League Part 1", "Wonder Woman", and "Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2" coming out. God I hope "Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice" is as good as I hope.
Fantastic 4 2? This got a green light? hahahahaha

FRANCHISES THAT SHOULD SIGN WITH ROCKSTEADY

If not Rocksteady/Rockstar, then at the very least a "Grand Theft Auto" or "Batman: Arkham..." style/concept with another gaming company. Most notably "free-roaming" as this became a personal must have after playing "Grand Theft Auto III" on PS2 back in 2002, and the GTA games that followed. And after daydreaming of "GTA IV" being "Batman-ized" it became reality with "Batman: Arkham Asylum" and company.
Now some of the may have possibly have had a video game with the same idea, not a "hardcore gamer" but personally haven't played them. But, if  they have appeared before, then let us simply add them to the "remake, and release on the almost baron PS4 platform" list. And sorry to the X-Box peeps, but this is basically Playstation focused. But, hey most if not all would be available to you as well. (yes, well aware of Spidey. But, Batman "won" this battle thus far...well a matter of opinion for sure).....

Ghostbusters
This may have happened on an earlier platform, but with the new remake coming out, why not revisit and improve on the video game side of things? Either a customizable "noobie" joining the squad, or if they have to use movie characters as the playables, then make it a mixture of the original and the new.

Green Arrow
Pretty much every DC Comics and Marvel Comics character could fit here, and they do, but loving the CW television series "Arrow" so we're going with Ollie. Batman has shown it can work, some would need something extra to make it work for them (Superman, etc), but needs to happen.

Mega Man
Haven't played these since the late 80's and early 90's on the original NES, but thought it would have been cool to see Mega Man at least in a manner similar to Mario in Mario 64 on the Nintendo 64. And yes, have mentioned Nintendo twice but am still pushing for a PS4 platform. But, this would be a cross between N64 3-D style meets Grand Theft Auto realism. Still "cartoonish" though.

Street Fighter
Has there been a style done like this before? I know that there has always been a "story" to it all, but it was generally a head to head fighting game. What if the fighters traveled the globe training, developing their trademark abilities, and of course fighting. Except the fights will be part of the story. For example, say Ryu has to fight and defeat the disiples of the master who taught him the Hadouken. All this leads up to the "Street Fighter Tournament". Each player has a different path, but develop at the players own pace and direction. Just an idea.

Star Wars
No. Not a racing game. No. Not a movie adaptation. No. Not "The Force Unleashed". But, something that would be the beautiful offspring of GTA and Knights Of The Old Republic (X-Box). Free roaming. Decision based, to head towards the lightside or darkside of The Force. Most importantly, on a Playstation console.

Underworld
Not as Selina or any other main player in the movies, but as a freshly turned Vampire or Lycan. Looking to climb the ranks of any faction, perhaps a neutral "third party" as well. Grand Theft Auto style for sure, with random citizens actually being members the opposing "team", who turn and start to fight you. Perhaps the ability to "turn" others would become an option as you progress and develop your characters. Cross-over DLC's would include versions of Van Helsing and Bufy. Who of course are playable in game, but are hunters.

Sons Of Anarchy
Sure, we basically seen this with "GTA IV: Lost And Damned", but it would be different in the way the it would be loosely based on the television series, not directly. And it would be about progressing and developing your character, climbing the ranks from earning your "cut" until you are President of the club. Perhaps somewhat decision based in regards to path to the top as well direction of the MC.

There are plenty more of course, almost anything one likes in entertainment could apply here. Almost. And of course a matter of personal preference. Perhaps another day, more will be listed. Until then.....stay Nerdy!
