What’s up, Powerful Gamers?
Finally finished the main Wolfenstein 2 campaign & it’s crazy as good a game as it is, I wanted a little bit more after that final level on the Ausmerzer. Was delighted to kill that Nazi bitch, Frau Engel, but I wanted to continue to deal more punishment but all in all, it’s a great time & I’m now putting my time into finishing the whole thing now with the DLCs, Side Missions, Ubercommanders, etc. It’s crazy, all it took for me to returning to this franchise, after botching stealth mechanic after stealth mechanic on the third level of the first game, I basically fell in love with this shit like I never left it.
God of War 3 Remastered was a joy to finish & I’m even more motivated to getting back into getting into the Norse GoW and continuing there.
DC K.O’s pretty weird, but I’m going to go with it & see how it unfolds. Batman (Bruce Wayne) vs. Batman (Dick Grayson) with the wrinkle that Bruce in the other universe killed all the other Robins is an interesting way to go with the story. The fact Bruce got fucking stabbed by The Joker before the tournament & went to a different Gotham to cheat death, is why Bryce Wayne, considering his problems, will forever be a legendary Impossible White Man.
And Sisu 2 was fun. Dug it. Same for Wicked: For Good. Liked it more than the first movie.
Happy Thanksgiving. Peace!
How’s it going Nerds,
Couple weeks back, for the first, I traveled to somewhere in Australia that wasn’t on the east coast & went to a convention & got some pics & autographs from a couple of Star Wars people, John Boyega & Diana Lee Inosanto, & also the voice of Grimlock from the original Transformers cartoon.
Boyega is so nice to the fans. He was taking time to talk with everyone who was there to see him. It probably helps Adelaide isn’t as big a city as Sydney so it’s not as busy.
Also, I didn’t get a message in before the last show, but on the game pass thing.
The price jumped from $22 up to $35 here. I play Fortnite, so the added stuff for that is nice.
But because a snack brand for the last two Februarys here has had an Xbox promotion to try win free game pass with purchases, I also haven’t paid for game pass since March 2023 & don’t pay again till May next year.
I’m hoping they do the promo again cause after taking away what I spent on the snacks, which I got for half price, I’ve saved over $400
Have a good 1

Hello fellow nerds!
I want to do my due diligence as a fan and recommend the book series Dungeon Crawler Carl to your audience, if I can. There are 7 out of the proposed 10 books out now, and it was just optioned for a TV show by the people who did Cowboy Bebop and the Seth Rogan TMNT.
The story is about a man and his ex girlfriend’s cat that are forced to descend into stairwells that pop up all over earth, moments after every building in sight was vaporized. They enter into a world of leveling up, inventories, cursed items and an AI with a particular fetish.
This book is like Hunger Games, Dungeons and Dragons, Vox Machina and Star Wars combined. The voice author who does the audible is killing it – the way he juggles so many different voices is incredible. It’s funny, exciting, well written, full of character development- I’m on my 4th re-listen of the series in a years time.
There’s also a WEBTOON following the series but it doesn’t come out fast enough!
So yeah, that’s what I’ve been reading!
