The Nerd Off: (Protected Content)
G’Day Everybody,
Since it’s already Saturday here, I’d like to start by saying May the 4th Be With You & happy Star Wars Day to those who celebrate.
Also, yesterday I was able to get tix to the 3 day Star Wars Celebration convention in Tokyo next year.
Lately I’ve been playing this Planet Zoo game. It’s a zoo builder game & you make your own or do the career mode & meet objectives to complete the story. I smashed through the career mode & have been having a great time building enclosures for the animals. Also, got a couple of really low % achievements.
& lastly, that X-Men 97. What a great show. Hopefully some shenanigans happen & my guy Gambit comes back. But if not, he went out on a great line.
But for now, I’m off to build some of my new Star Wars lego & watch Star Wars stuff over the weekend
Have a good 1
Wonga
Fellow nerds, what’s crackin’?
Street Fighter 6 has finally got me hooked, even with its soon approaching one year anniversary in June. A lot of fighting games need to implement “modern” or “simplified” control scheme for people who can’t nail down a 10 button input for a finishing move. Been playing fighting games since that damn Ranma fighter for the SNES, which had me throwing my controller at walls & closets. I just love how casual friendly it is for folks like me, who don’t have the time to practice as Chun-Li, Ryu or JP. Been having a great time with World Tour & been playing the Arcade Mode a decent amount. I just love it & that franchise has always given me hell, because you have to be content with potentially losing a lot. A lot of fighters have that hanging over the player but Street Fighter since 2 can be humbling.
Oddly enough, I’ve been playing the DS again. I only restarted it, because I’m moving out of an apartment that I loathe & I’ve been playing it off & on. Even bought a few new games, as I intend on getting a 3DS, all of a sudden. I know it’s deader than the Bucks championship hopes, I just got that old handheld Nintendo itch & I need to scratch it.
Deadpool & Wolverine look dope. Not that I ever lost faith in Marvel Studios in anyway. I am pleased that with this project & all of what happened during 2023, they’re getting the ball back rolling (I just wish peeps kept that same energy to The Marvels, as well).
X-Men 97 is great, Giancarlo Esposito’s Parish on AMC is a good time & I’ve been watching that Good Times show on Netflix, which is anything but a good time. I will finish the show, it’s just a massive missed opportunity & it just gives the haters more ammunition to shit on black creatives & not be consistent with other good &/or great black shit.
At least, Fall Guy was nice. Have a good one, y’all.
Hello fellow Nerds from the Vault,
While waiting for X-Men’97 episodes to drop I started watching Fallout and yes, I didn’t play the video game. However, I had a great time with the show and Walter Goggins delivers again. Can’t stop saying Okey dokie now. I’m glad to hear that Amazon already greenlit a S2
There have been some really great storytelling this year!
