The Best Way to Show Off Witcher 3

So for a few weeks now, I’ve been crowing about the joy of playing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. It’s a fun, deeply immersive game with great graphics and stellar gameplay. It’s good times all around right here. Well with this being another quiet, dreary Monday, I decided to share the one video on the Internet that shows off the coolness of Witcher 3: Conan O’Brien using it to search for sex!

Anybody else watch Clueless Gamer? They’re pretty darned funny! And they make a good way to start a Monday morning.

My 6 Favorite Zombie Video Games

Zombies are everywhere! Or, at least, they’re still around, following that big zombie craze from a few years ago. The desire for all things zombie has sort of faded, but they are still a ubiquitous presence in our favorite entertainment. I should know, since I’ve spent the past week playing a marathon session of Dead Rising 3! Finally beat it last night! It was at the top of the list of games I’d play once I got a bigger, better computer!

And this is at the bottom

I’ll probably stop bragging about my computer at some point, I promise. In fact, let’s spend today jawing about zombie video games! There are so many! And I’ve been having so much fun with the latest Dead Rising that I’ve decided to list my favorite zombie video games! Join me after the jump for all the brain-eating glory, and please share some of your own favorites in the comments!

Some Nifty Movie Pics to Warm Us Over on This Friday

Apparently, yesterday was the day to reveal nifty art from upcoming movies! First up is the first official pic of Michael Fassbender in the upcoming Assassin’s Creed movie. He looks pretty neat. I don’t think he’s playing any of the characters from the video game.

It’s possible I may have gotten this picture from Yahoo

Next up is a pretty awesome picture from Captain America: Civil War, that reveals the two sides of the upcoming conflict! There were more pictures released online, some of which were endorsed by Jeremy Renner, but this one is the best! I love the little mini Ant-Man hanging out on Cap’s shoulder.

Biff! Bam! Pow!

If you aren’t already, it’s time to get excited for Civil War next year!

Announcing World of Warcraft: Legion!

The new expansion is World of Warcraft: Legion! When the Tomb of Sargeras is opened, the Burning Legion invades Azeroth with armies of demons! No new races, like I’d hoped, but there’s a new Demon Hunter hero class! And a bigger focus on classes, including iconic weaponry.

Check out this pretty cool announcement trailer!

Looks pretty neat. Everybody loves fighting demons!

You can read a ton of info at the World of Warcraft website. They’ve got a whole shebang to show off about the new classes, weapons and fancy pants stuff!

I’m not quite sure if this is going to be enough to get me back into the game. I put out a whole list this week of what I wanted to see in the next expansion, and I don’t think I really get anything that I want! But hey, any new adventure is cause for fun, right? This Demon Hunter hero class could be cool, and it’ll give me something to do with the Night Elves, finally.

And oh yeah, Illidan is coming back!

Overall, I’m still not sure. I think I’ll let this announcement sink in and see where I am in a few weeks. I’ll still need to buy and play through Warlords of Draenor, and this game won’t be coming out for at least a year, probably. So I’ve got time to think, save money and possibly even finally cure myself of this maddening addiction!

But a Night Elf Demon Hunter is starting to sound pretty cool…

6 Things That Will Bring me Back to World of Warcraft

I’m a World of Warcraft addict, and admitting I have a problem is the first step. Fortunately, I’ve been on the wagon for awhile now — but that could change tomorrow, when Blizzard announces the next expansion! Considering the last expansion — Warlords of Draenor — was kind of a bust, and that Warcraft has a huge movie coming out next summer, this new expansion could be a pretty big deal.

Especially since the latest numbers have them bleeding subscribers!

But will it be enough to bring me back into the fold? I avoided Warlords like the plague, and most of the discussion I see online has been negative. So Blizzard has a lot of good will they need to make up. Will they go all out with a huge expansion with new characters, lands and tons of content? Will they pop out a quickie expansion that ties into the movie? The game is still going strong after 10 years, but the players didn’t seem to like Warlords, so Blizzard has their work cut out for them.

But I’m only concerned about myself, and I’m not a player who cares about end-game content like raids or PvP Join me after the jump for a bit of speculation on the new expansion, and six new additions to the game that would probably convince me to re-enlist!
