4th Borderlands DLC Announced!

restlessmonarch — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 21:42:13 +0000

After a few days of “leaked” information, Gearbox Software announced the newest addition to the Borderlands DLC family. It will be titled “Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution.”

Not a lot is known, but the content will feature at least 20 new missions, the ability to get 10 new skill points (which seems outrageous to me), and 3 new backpack slots. The Claptraps have started a revolution, and Hyperion has hired you to combat the evil robots.

The DLC is being released in September, and will cost $9.99, just like the other three DLCs. And heres one more press release picture that I’m not sure what its about exactly, but I think this guy will be your contact for Hyperion. We’ll have to see though.

Wheel of Time Series Is Honored, In Metal Form

Well, here we have one of my favorite things in the universe: bands doing tributes to things that are nerdy. Now I loves me some Blind Guardian, who are responsible for this particular tribute, and I loves me some power metal. The song (cleverly titled Wheel of Time) is a little over 8 minutes of pure power metal madness, and ties in a book series I’ve been kind of meaning to get back into. I was reading the Wheel of Time series a while back, and I stopped for fairly “QQ” reasons. This song makes me want to read them again. Enjoy.

Venture Bros Season 4.5

Man things have been kinda slow since Comic-Con. However, [adultswim] released a video trailer for the second half of season 4 of Venture Bros. Premiering September 12th, I’m getting excited already.

If for any reason the Youtube clip stops working, you can check this link here:

YouTube Channel Feature: GarlandTheGreat

For our second installment, we bring to you GarlandTheGreat, a YouTuber who is known for quite a few things. I initially found him for his 100% (and sometimes more) runs of the Crash Bandicoot series, but he does oh so much more. He has a multitude of challenge run-throughs of various Final Fantasy games, a FFVII speedrun, the aforementioned 100% Crash runs, and even a Metal Gear Solid “Big Boss” Challenge run.

My personal favorite is next!

Cool Site Of The Week: Speed Demos Archive

I’m a few hours late… but it’s better than never, Speed Demos Archive is a site for anyone who loves to watch people play through video-games in obscenely low amounts of time. Ie. Viewtiful Joe in 30 minutes, it also features advice on how they accomplished such feats. Great for anyone who’s into that kind of thing, recommended by RestlessMonarch.

Time For A Comic-Con OVERLOAD!

restlessmonarch — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 05:05:53 +0000

Ok, so I’ve got a lot of Comic-Con related things to show you, and honestly, I don’t know if it will fit in just one post. But dammit, I’m going to try.
I will also apologize in advance if any of these videos don’t play for you.

First: We have a poster for The Avengers Movie, and know a little information about the movie. It seems that the characters in the movie will be Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Hulk, Black Widow, War Machine, Wasp, Ant-Man, Hawkeye, and Nick Fury. Badass

Second: A VERY short clip was released to advertise the new Transformers cartoon thats coming out in the fall. So heres that.

Third: The trailer revealing the final universe in Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions was shown. Its the Ultimates universe, which isn’t exactly the most creative choice, but we get to wear the Symbiote in this one… Oh, and we get to fight Ultimate Deadpool.

Fourth: Some gameplay from Metroid: Other M. It looks ok so far, but the narration seems a little bland. Especially Samus. /groan Targeting enemies also seems to be a little difficult, but overall I’m liking the side-scrolling.

Fifth: DC revealed a lengthy trailer for DC Universe Online that looks totally badass. I don’t know for sure how that kind of MMO will turn out, but the trailer looks so damn awesome. If it wasn’t an MMO, I’d be totally psyched for this game. I couldn’t get the trailer to attach correctly, so I’ll link you to it. Sorry folks.

Sixth: A new gameplay trailer was released for Dead Rising 2, and its making the game look pretty fantastic, if I do say so myself. I’m a little glad Frank West isn’t back because seriously, who the hell would put themselves back into that situation?

Seventh: Capcom made several announcements today, starting with bringing 3rd Strike online sometime in the future. Secondly, in fall they will be releasing new downloadable costumes for the entire cast of Super Street Fighter 4. They even released some of the costumes already, seen below.

Thirdly, they confirmed that they will “talk more about” the blank character slots in the next picture in September in a totally hilarious troll by the developers.

Lastly: The most important announcement (to me, anyway) was also made by Capcom, but they weren’t alone. Halfway through the Capcom panel, head developers from Namco burst into the hall and started giving away copies of Tekken 6. Why, you ask? Because of this:

STREET FIGHTER VS TEKKEN! While this game isn’t going to be released for quite some time, (over a year I’d imagine) there will be two versions of the game released. One produced by Capcom, and one produced by Namco. So if you have a severe preference to the gameplay of one company, you’ll get it!

God knows I missed some stuff, but this is quite a bit to take in off the bat anyway. What do you think???

G4TV actually airing something nerdy!

girlwithgoggles — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 22:33:36 +0000

..Other than then airing con footage, X play (do they still show that?), and Attack Of The Show. G4 is scheduled to have all of the Marvel Anime series including Ironman, Thor, and Wolverine in their regular programming!

When are you Cap’t ?

girlwithgoggles — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 22:27:33 +0000

New news about the Captain America movie scheduled for summer 2011. It will take place in WWII with present time bookends according to some of those involved in production speaking at Comic Con!

Amaterasu and Thor Announced!

restlessmonarch — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 03:45:10 +0000

So thanks to ComiCon, we now have official trailers for Amaterasu and Thor in motion in Marvel vs Capcom 3. Am I flooding you with MvC3 info? Probably. But I’ve been waiting for this game for years (along with legions of other people) and I’m damn excited. My guess is the two of them will end up being god tier. Didja get it…? More after the jump.

Starcraft 2 Is Almost Here

restlessmonarch — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 20:55:15 +0000

A friend pointed out to me yesterday that Starcraft 2, the game that computer gamers have been waiting for for over ten years, comes out in less then a week. So for you fans of this series, you should definitely be getting pumped. Heres the last trailer released.
