Nosgoth Update #4.0 Welcome to The Crucible! New Map available to play immediately


Defined by forges and workshops, gladiatorial training grounds and arenas, slave pens and birthing catacombs, welcome to The Crucible, the heart of the Turelim’s war machine.  This proud clan built their cities under the harsh landscape of Tartarus where survival would hone their strength. Harnessing the elemental power of the earth itself, the Turelim were originally tasked by Kain himself with defeating the one true obstacle to the Vampire’s domination of Nosgoth – the sun itself. Using a combination of engineering, alchemy, and geomancy, the Turelim shaped gargantuan volcanic furnaces that belched forth smoke thick enough to block out the sun’s deadly rays.

The Crucible map is available now to play in Nosgoth.  Also coming to Nosgoth in update #4.0, the Daniel Cabuco inspired Deceiver Evolved Skin (unlocked at level 25), a two-week in game event Inferno, plus a host of new improvements, not least the revamped HUD.

Square Enix is also announcing THE DEFINITIVE PACK for Nosgoth. For $39.99 players can unlock all existing abilities and future classes, common weapons and abilities.

Movie Review: It Follows


Synopsis - IT FOLLOWS took the 2014 Cannes, Toronto, Fantastic Fest AFI and 2015 Sundance film festivals by storm, and was released by RADiUS theatrically March 13th. For 19-year-old Jay (Maika Monroe, THE GUEST), the fall should be about school, boys and weekends at the lake. Yet after a seemingly innocent sexual encounter she suddenly finds herself plagued by nightmarish visions; she can't shake the sensation that someone, or something, is following her. As the threat closes in, Jay and her friends must somehow escape the horrors that are only a few steps behind.


With a riveting central performance from Monroe and a strikingly ominous electronic score by Disasterpeace, IT FOLLOWS is an artful psychosexual thriller from David Robert Mitchell (whose THE MYTH OF THE AMERICAN SLEEPOVERS premiered at Critics' Week in 2010). The film also stars Keir Gilchrist ("The United States of Tara"), Daniel Zovatto (LAGGIES), Jake Weary ("Chicago Fire"), Olivia Luccardi ("Orange is the New Black"), and Lili Sepe (SPORK).


My Thoughts: This movie begins with you seeing a young girl run out of her house, run into the middle of the street, stand they for a few minutes, run in a huge circle and back into her house to grab her purse. She drives off and she is killed in a gruesome way at the beach. The movie started with a bang. It properly creeped out the viewer as you watch the movie and see what Jay goes through as she tries to survive this thing that follows her. I especially enjoyed how only she could see it but it could still hurt her loved ones. That thing properly creeped me out.

Her friends and family work together to save her in some interesting ways. I personally would have called a local paranormal person for some assistance but that would have been my approach. If you enjoy creepy movies then this is the movie for you. It had an old 70s/80s horror flick film feeling to it. I was confused as to when the movie was set but either way I enjoyed it. Check it out and let me know what you thought of the ending.

The Walking Dead S5, ep. 16 "Conquer" Season Finale


Episode starts with Morgan waking up in a car. He is out there surviving. A man walks up to him with a gun. He has a W on his forehead. He talks about the bounty on the wolves heads and says they are back now. Morgan plays it real cool. The man wants everything that Morgan has and the man responds that he is taking him too but he will not be alive. Morgan says he can have everything but he will not allow the man to take him away. (This dude is creepy). Another guy jumps out but Morgan takes them both out with a staff. Morgan keeps telling them to just go but they keep attacking until he takes them down. Turns out the gun was empty. Morgan does the nice thing and leaves the guys in the car he previously was in. He beeps the horn and leaves. Daryl is on his bike enjoying the open road while Aaron is in the car following him. (Doesn't a bike make too much noise for walkers? I guess we shouldn't pay attention to details like that) Rick wakes up and is bandage from his fight. Michonne is in the room watching Rick. She wants to know what he finds so funny. He responds that it is like the train car and how he is still here. Michonne is upset that Rick did not keep her in the loop. Glenn, Carol, and Abraham came in. Carol asks where he got the gun, he plays along saying that he took it. Carol tells Rick to tell them a pretty story since these people are children. Rick says if the town meeting tonight does not go well they will threaten them to get what they want. He admits to screwing up. Maggie talks to Deanna about the meeting tonight. She says that sending Rick away is not going to work. She pleads Rick's case. Sasha has dug a hole. She is throwing the dead walkers into the hole. She lays down with the bodies. (yup, she has gone off the deep end) Daryl and Aaron are going through the woods. Aaron talks about three people they sent away. It was a woman and three men and Aaron says he does not want to make the mistake again. Carol visits with Rick and hands him another gun. Carol admits that she did not tell the others about the guns just in case. 


Rick finally makes it outside and everyone is watching him. Nicholas is watching Glenn in a creepy way. Maggie talks to Glenn and how she is going to talk to people about Rick and try to save him from being kicked out. Glenn sees Nicholas climbing out of the gates. Father Gabriel goes outside the gates with no gun saying all he needs is the word of God. Rick shows up home and Carl is happy to see him. Carl says this is home and Rick agrees. Carl says these people need them and Rick has to help them without killing them. Aaron and Daryl come up to a warehouse of food. They take out the zombies so they can collect some food for camp. They trailers are a trap and are filled with zombies. They are coming from everywhere and Daryl and Aaron are forced to crawl under one of the trailers. There is a lot of blood as they make a run for it. They are tapped in a car and all the walkers have the W carved in their foreheads. Pete is sitting in a house. Carol shows up and in her psycho way threatens him for not taking care of Tara. She says she could kill him and get away with it. Carol mentions that he can live if he plays his cards right. Glenn is outside and finds himself shot by Nicholas. Glenn goes down and disappears as Nicholas tries to find his body. Daryl and Aaron are in the car having a heart to heart as they are surrounded by walkers. Daryl tells Aaron that he will draw them away but wants to finish his smoke first. Aaron says no and that they have to do it together if they make it or not. (beautiful moment, I got a bit teary eyed) As they are about to make their way out Morgan helps and they are able to get out. Morgan helps them fight their way out. Daryl asks Morgan why he did it and he says that life is precious. Morgan says thank you for the invitation but he is on his way and shows Daryl the map with Abraham's writing to Rick. Father Gabriel is out walking and whistling. He draws attention to himself from the walker he comes upon saying he is ready. Father Gabriel waits to die and then at the last minute kills the walker. He goes up to the man that the walker was feeding on and kills him too. He breaks down sobbing and curls up into a ball. Abraham shows up with flowers to see Tara. At first he wants to leave but stays since Eugene is asleep. Rosita purposely makes noise to wake Eugene up. Eugene says thank you to Abraham for getting them there and apologizes for his lie. Abraham apologizes for almost killing Eugene. Spencer asks if he can talk to Father Gabriel later about his brother and leaves it to Father Gabriel to close the gates but he does not do it properly. Nicholas and Glenn fight on the outside but are interrupted by walkers. Rick finally admits to Michonne about the guns they took. Rick tries to hand the gun to Michonne. She says she knocked him out for him and not them. Michonne says they do not need the guns here and they can find a way. Michonne says if they do not they are still with him. Rick hears Bob's voice saying that one day he will be back in the real world. Rick looks out the window and notices something. He sees the gates open and blood and gore are by the gate. He closes the gate and runs off. 


Rick is running and trying to find the walker he knows is in the town. Sasha is in the makeshift church. Gabriel shows up and Sasha asks for help. He says he cannot help her. The town meeting is occurring and Deanna says they are going to talk about what happened. Nicholas is limping along and it is now night time. Rick is running and hears a dog barking. Father Gabriel is attacking Sasha with words and saying she deserves all that she got because of her sins. She attacks him. Rick finds the walker. Michonne is pleading Rick's case to the townspeople. Rick is now facing multiple walkers. Glenn knocks out Nicholas. Carol pleads Rick's case. Glenn beats the crap out of Nicholas. Abraham in his own way pleads for Rick. The man in the red poncho that Aaron was looking for is killed by the guys with the W on their foreheads from the beginning of the episode. Maggie pleads Rick's case and how he made them a family. Deanna mentions how Father Gabriel says that the group is dangerous. Sasha is holding a gun on Father Gabriel. Glenn has a gun on Nicholas. Rick walks into the meeting. and throws the body down of the walker into the meeting. Glenn is telling Nicholas to shut up as he pleads for his life but in the end he does not shoot him. Gabriel tells Sasha to kill him but Maggie shows up and takes the gun away from her. Gabriel is crying about his flock and Maggie takes his hand and helps him off the ground. Rick talks to the crowd saying that they will be hunted. Nicholas is helped by Glenn. Rosita sees that Tara is awake. Carl is holding Judith. The Wolves find pictures of Alexandria. Gabriel, Sasha, and Maggie pray together. Rick tells them that they are not ready but they have to be right now. Pete comes with Michonne's sword and ends up slicing Reg's throat. Deanna is crying as she holds Reg. Rick kills Pete on Deanna's orders. Morgan arrives with Daryl and Aaron and witnesses it all. Michonne is about to hang up her sword but instead straps it to her back.


My Thoughts: We had a hour and a half long season finale. Frankly I was very disappointed. The only death we had was Peter who no one cares about. The fight between Nicholas/Glenn and Sasha/Gabriel was so blah. Everyone walks away singing we are the world and no death occurs. It was very annoying. The only good part of this whole episode was Morgan. Morgan kicked butt from beginning to end. I enjoyed his work with the staff. He tried to be nice and let them (wolves) go but they kept coming after them. I enjoyed that he then saves Aaron and Daryl. He then walks in on watching his friend kill a man. This was an episode where a lot of walkers died but no characters that we cared about. I felt like overall the whole half of this season was a waste. We saw two of the wolves but that was about it. What do you hope to see in Season 6?

Failure to implement these requirements may jeopardize your ability to obtain material of this nature from us in the future." Based on the award-winning HBO television drama series, Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series tells the story of House Forrester. Caught up in the events of The War of the Five Kings, they are placed in a precarious position where members of the household must do everything they can to prevent the house from meeting its doom.

Scattered across Westeros and Essos, each will play their part in seeking to save House Forrester from destruction.

Asher, the exile, heads to Mereen in search of an army to take on the Whitehills. Meanwhile, far across land and sea in Westeros, Mira must deal with the lethal politics of King's Landing. Her family's safety is paramount and she will do anything to protect them, but nothing is given freely, and her choice of allies may soon come to haunt her. To the north, in Ironrath, the Whitehill occupation continues. Gryff Whitehill, fourth-born son, is out to prove himself, and brutality and violence grows daily, pushing the Forresters to make far-reaching decisions. Finally, at the Wall, Gared learns that he must head north if he is to help his house survive. But fate is cruel, forcing choices that will change his path forever.

Capcom Reveals the Details of Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition


Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition is currently in development for PC, PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, and Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, and will be available to purchase as a digital download in Summer 2015. The Special Edition will include the original 2008 release, which went on to sell over 3 million copies worldwide, plus three new playable characters, Legendary Dark Knight Mode and additional game play improvements. Today, the first trailer has been released to showcase the new and improved features from this critically-acclaimed chapter in the legendary Devil May Cry series.

Although he’s not the main star of the show, Dante’s twin brother Vergil is stealing the spotlight. He arrives in Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition as a playable character, complete with upgraded moves and graphics since his appearance in Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening Special Edition. The ladies are also taking center stage, as players are now able to control the action as the mysterious Trish taking on Dante’s missions in the main story and, for the first time ever in the Devil May Cry series, the demon hunter Lady taking on Nero’s. With a total of five playable characters, this gives Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition the largest roster of playable characters in any Devil May Cry game to date.

In Legendary Dark Knight Mode, first introduced in the PC release of Devil May Cry 4, console players will now be able to take on the challenge of fighting hordes of enemies all at once, putting their stylish combat skills to the ultimate test. In this mode, enemies spawn in greater numbers and with more strength and vitality, allowing players more time to execute longer, more exciting combos. Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition features freshly powered-up visuals on PC and next gen consoles, supporting a 1080p resolution and stunning high-res textures, and also retains the original title’s smooth 60fps. Further improvements to the game tempo and balancing will be made, while maintaining all the quality of the original game.

In addition to these new features, there will be a set of new costumes and skins that are designed to be completely compatible with in-game cutscenes. This will bring a fresh new look to scenes some fans may have seen before.

Capcom Partners with Six Flags Magic Mountain to Bring Epic Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Experience to Life


Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, announced a partnership with Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, the world’s largest regional theme park operator, to bring the Monster Hunter™ 4 Ultimate experience to guests at Six Flags Magic Mountain, the “Thrill Capital of the World.” As part of the campaign, the park’s Goliath roller coaster will be re-themed to Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate beginning March 28 and through August 10. To help kick off the opening weekend of the program, the national Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate traveling Caravan Tour will also be making a stop at Six Flags Magic Mountain for special event days on March 28 and 29.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is the biggest and most accessible entry yet in the popular Monster Hunter™ series, which has sold more than 32 million units worldwide. In Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, players take on the role of a hunter that joins up with a traveling caravan to explore new lands and combat ferocious enemies in pursuit of the ultimate hunt. The latest game takes players to new heights, literally, with the introduction of more dynamic vertical gameplay including a new monster riding mechanic.



With the Six Flags partnership, the game will come to life with one dedicated passenger train of the Goliath coaster custom-skinned to resemble the game’s flagship Gore Magala monster. The Goliath “coaster giant” is a metal monster with a staggering 255 foot drop taken at 85 mph, making this one of the longest and fastest drops in the world. Once riders conquer the thrilling high-speed banked turns, camel back hills, huge spiral curves and “zero gravity” drops of the Gore Magala themed Goliath coaster, they will have a chance to tackle the ferocious Gore Magala in game form as they test out the Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate demo at kiosks inside the Cyber Cafe. Special Monster Hunter merchandise will also be for sale in the park to commemorate this ultimate vertical adventure.

Fans who visit Six Flags Magic Mountain for the opening weekend of the Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate program can also attend the special Caravan event on March 28 or 29, where they will be immersed in the world of Monster Hunter with a custom setting that recreates the look and feel of the traveling Caravan from the game. They will also be able to meet up to play the game with fellow hunters and Capcom staff on those days.

SQUARE ENIX ANNOUNCES THE “VANA’DIEL PROJECT,” NEW PLANS FOR FINAL FANTASY XI


Today, Square Enix, Inc. announced the “Vana’diel® Project” for the massive multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG) FINAL FANTASY® XI, which includes three major initiatives to coincide with the game entering its 14th year of service this May. FINAL FANTASY XIand Vana’diel, the fictional world that forms its setting, have continued to evolve alongside the many players that have adventured there in the years since the official launch in 2002, and this project aims to further expand FFXI and continue to satisfy its players for years to come.

The Final Scenario: The first chapter in the final scenario of the FINAL FANTASY XI story, “Rhapsodies of Vana’diel,” will be released alongside game updates taking place in May 2015. It will serve as the pinnacle of the FINAL FANTASY XI story, bringing together major characters and elements from more than 13 years of history. The epic tale will come to a close in three parts that are scheduled to release in May, August and November this year. These updates will also see the introduction of new content, such as exciting battles and never-before-seen reward items.

After the final chapter of “Rhapsodies of Vana’diel,” the major updates to the game will cease, but maintenance to fine-tune content will continue. Operation of game services for the Playstation® 2 and Xbox 360 platforms will cease in March 2016, but players can continue to enjoy the Windows PC version of FINAL FANTASY XI beyond that date. Further, “The Goddess’s Gala” in-game event will also be held - a festival to thank all players who have stepped into Vana’diel over its storied lifetime.

The Flash S1, Ep. 16 "Rogue Time" recap


Show starts with Barry coming to a stop and being confused. He is reliving the prior day. He does his morgue trip and talks to the team and repeats everything they say. Dr. Wells immediately knows what is going on and warns Barry not to mess with time. He advises him to do everything that he did previously. Dr. Wells checks to make sure that the future is not screwed up due to this time leap. Barry gets flashbacks to some of the catastrophic things that happened previously. Barry shows up and takes out Mardon right away and Dr. Wells points out that he messed with the timeline. Captain Cold (Snart) and Heat Wave (Mark Rory) are back in town. Cisco shows up to his brother Dante's birthday with Caitlin. Joe tries to confront Barry about Mardon but he takes off. We see more interaction with Cisco and his brother he throws more shade than a palm tree. Linda and Barry sit down to talk. They end up breaking up. Barry asks to talk to Iris after getting dumped. He asks Iris if she can meet for coffee the next day. (wow you just broke up with your girlfriend, he is so overconfident about Iris) Cisco and Barry meet for a drink. A blonde walks up them and offers to buy Cisco a drink. (horribly fake blonde wig) Cisco falls so easily for the con it is sad. She takes him back to a house and she turns out to be sister (Lisa Snart) of Captain Cold (Leonard Snart). They have kidnapped his brother and plan to make Cisco make the weapons they desire.


Cisco is constructing new guns as requested. Diego is a jerk to Cisco while he tries to save their life. Lisa requests her own gun and that has gold. Barry meets with Iris for coffee. Iris says she does not feel different for Barry and walks out. Barry feels horrible. Joe calls Barry letting him know that Snart is back. Lisa's gun encases people in gold while they confront a mob family in a casino. Barry grabs Lisa but Snart informs Barry that he has Cisco and will kill him. The Snart family walks away. Eddie comes to the casino and punches Barry while he is talking to Joe. He is disgusted with him for coming onto Iris. Dr. Wells finally listens to Barry with what was going to happen. Dr. Wells says it is dangerous to travel back in time as you can disrupt many things if you travel back years, decades, or centuries (hint, hint). Dante and Cisco have a heart to heart. Dante admits to being jealous of Cisco. His brother says he never fought for anything in his life and confronts Mark and they both end up being beaten up. Cold shows up and ask Cisco who is the Flash. Cold freezes Dante's hands and demands who is the flash.


Cisco shows up to the lab. He says his brother was tortured and that he had to reveal Barry's secret. Cisco says he is sorry but Barry forgives him right away. Cisco says he is leaving and refuses to put them in jeaoparty again. Joe shows up to see Iris. He asks Iris who does she love. She says she loves Eddie but her dad says she needs to make it clearer. Cisco is packing up his stuff. Wells says he wants to show Cisco something. They talk about making hard choices. This time around in the same exact spot Wells is championing Cisco on. Even mentions that Cisco is like a son but this time Wells does not kill Cisco. Snart is after the money from teh casino which has now on the move. Snart and company attack the truck but Barry shows up. He grabs Cold while Heat Wave and Lisa lose the truck. Barry takes off his mask. He says that the theft needs to end. Cold refuses to leave and says he will reveal Barry's identity. Barry says no one else needs to die and that if anyone goes near his friends or family that he will end Cold. They make an alliance. Barry shows up to the coffee place. Caitlyn told Iris and Eddie that he has lightening psychosis and that is why he has been acting different. Eddie hugs him and forgives him. Reverse Flash shows up and attacks Mason Bridge. He kills him, destroys his work, and takes the body. Barry now has questions once he sees the missing person's news report. Barry meets with Joe. Barry says that he thinks Joe may be right about Dr. Wells.


My Thoughts: It is a shame to see everything that was done to be undone so quickly and easily. We all got a glimpse off that timeline but now we are on a different path. While all the reveals we previously had have been unraveled but at least Barry now has questions about Wells. I will be happy when more people know how evil Wells is but I guess we have to sit and wait. Cisco is now on another path as well. What do you hope to see happen next?

Nintendo Reveals New Details About Splatoon


Nintendo’s upcoming third-person action shooter game for the Wii U console, combines elements of shooting, strategy and action – and original new characters, Inklings, that can instantaneously transform between human and squid form. Splatoon gives players the goal of covering as much territory as possible with their ink-spewing weapons. The game, which is scheduled to launch in May, features four-on-four online team matches, as well as a full single-player mode that takes players deeper into the game’s unique world and characters.

For the first time, Nintendo also revealed a new multiplayer mode called Ranked Battle, which keeps track of each player’s online ranking. Splat Zones is one of the additional ways to play online in this mode. As opposed to Turf War, which will be available to all players as soon as they begin playingSplatoon, Splat Zones lets players try to control the territory of specific areas of the map with their ink blasts. As they play these ranked modes online, they will have the opportunity to increase their rating from “C-” to “A+,” which will be dynamically updated based on their performance. Players will need to achieve an in-game online Level of 10 by leveling up their Inkling in Turf War online matches before gaining access to these additional modes. As a result, once the game launches in May, Nintendo will track the global progress of players as they gain levels, and once a critical mass of players has achieved Level 10, this additional mode will be unlocked for players who meet the ranking criteria.The game’s main online mode is Turf War, in which players with broadband Internet access can compete head-to-head in four-on-four teams to try to cover as much territory as possible in their team’s ink. As they do battle, players will gain levels and earn in-game currency that allows them to customize their Inkling. Players can equip different pieces of clothing, which each provide different game-play perks like swimming more quickly through ink or decreasing the time needed for them to refill their ink canister. Players can also equip pre-determined weapon sets consisting of main weapons like rapid-fire ink guns, long-range ink rifles and paint rollers, as well as sub-weapons like ink bombs or sprinklers. Players can also fill up their special gauge in battle to unleash powerful special weapons for a brief period of time. Players will battle in a variety of online multiplayer maps, including the newly announced Blackbelly Skatepark, Saltspray Rig and Walleye Warehouse.

The single-player mode in Splatoon lets players use the game’s mechanics to explore the underground base of the game’s army of octopi antagonists, the Octarians, in original stages that test their ability to shoot, jump and splatter ink. Players can tackle a variety of levels with a variety of clever devices that can only be found in single-player mode. Each of the game’s single-player stages are designed to let players master tips and techniques that can be directly applied to the game’s multiplayer modes.

Movie Review: Insurgent


IMDB Storyline: One choice can transform you-or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior (Shailene Woodley) must continue trying to save those she loves--and herself--while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love. Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable--and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships. Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so. 


My Thoughts: This movie is action packed. If you did not care for the first one that is okay because this one keeps you on the edge of your seat. Tris is put through her paces in simulations that are designed to test her on every faction and the visuals are so stunning throughout the simulations that you feel like you are truly in that world.

Jeanine (Kate Winslet) is just as delusional and evil in the movie as she is in the book. Eric (Jai Courtney) and Max (Mekhi Phifer) are her henchmen seeking out the divergent. Four (Theo James) works hard to save Tris from herself. While Caleb (Ansel Elgort) and Peter (Miles Teller) work on thier own agendas. The ending is different from the book which left me wondering if there will be a movie adaption for the final book. Mekhi Phifer stated on The Wendy Williams Show that they are about to start filming for the third one, so fans of the series can look forward to a wrap up unlike us Percy Jackson fans. I just hope that they do not try to break it up into two parts. 


I would recommend this movie even to people who are not fans of young adult book movie series. It is just that fun. Check it out and share your thoughts in the comments.

The Walking Dead S5, Ep. 16 "Conquer" recap


Show starts with Deanna in morning. She plays the run mix that her son, Aiden, had for when he went on runs. We watch Carol as she makes a tuna casserole and she is visited by Sammy. Sasha is in the watch tower ready to take out any walkers but she is having problems focusing. Carol delivers the casserole to Deanna but Deanna just leaves it on the porch and burns the condolence letter. Daryl is out in the woods with Aaron and they spot a light in the distance and note that someone is out there with them. Nicholas tells his story of what happened and blames it on the others. Deanna grounds both Nicholas and Glenn. Rick tells Glenn that we do not answer to their rules but Glenn says they have to make it work. Rick and Carol discuss Pete. Sammy has a bolt inside his closet where he can stay hidden. Carol is pushing Rick hard to handle the Pete situation.

Pete comes up to Rick to speak to him and ask if he is okay. Rick gives him the crazy look and tells him to keep walking. Michonne takes stock of her uniform. Rosita visits Michonne and says Tara is stable. She warns Michonne that Sasha stayed the night in the tower and has not been seen since. Rosita and Michonne go out to look for her in the woods. (badass chick unite) Michonne leaves her uniform behind. They have a heart to heart about being safe and moving on from the horrors of being on the road. Deanna is out at the grave of her son. Rick shows up and gives his condolences. Rick mentions that problem with Pete. Rick suggests that they separate them. Deanna asks what happens if he does not comply. Deana refuses to allow for Pete's execution. Deanna says they do not do that they just exile people. Rosita and Michonne come across dead walkers. They are all shot in the back of the head and Michonne notes that Sasha is hunting them. Carl is out in the woods with emo-girl. She takes off into the woods and Carl is running with her.


 Glenn talks to Nicholas and lets him know that blood of 5 lives  are on his hands. Glenn threatens him but tells him he is saving him. Carl and Emo-Girl hide in a tree as a horde of zombies go by. They have a moment. We see that one has a W carved in its foreahead. Nicholas unbcovers the missing gun that he Rick previously hid. Sasha is running in the woods and killing zombies. Michonne and Rosita finally find her. The run into a zombie horde and Sasha is sick of playing defense. Michonne relives her killing of all the zombies over the years. Rosita and Sasha join in on the mass killing. Sasha starts yelling at them and saying that no one can help her.   

Aaron and Daryl come across body parts that are fresh. They continue to scout out who may have done the carnage. They come across a female that has been tied up to a tree and she was fed on and torn apart. It is fresh as well. The woman has a W on her forehead and becomes a walker right then. Rick speaks to Jessie. Rick is blunt and mentions that the beatings have to stop. Jessie says it will stop but Rick says he knows it will not and he will do what is necessary for it to stop. Jessie says she can take care of herself and for Rick to leave her alone. Rick walks away upset and appears to be having some sort of meltdown. Rick goes back to Jessie and says her son asks for a gun to protect her. Rick begs her to says yes and let him protect her sons and her. She finally says yes as a drunk Pete shows up. Jessie stands up to her husband and tells him to leave. A fight breaks out between Rick and Pete and they go through the window.


Rick and Pete are fighting it out. Jessie gets hit by Pete in the middle and Carl gets knocked back by Rick. The stupid red balloon we have seen all episode floats up. Deanna yells at Rick to stop it. Rick pulls a gun and says that they still do not understand what needs to be done. Rick tells them that they have to live in a real world. Rick is on crazy level 10 and Michonne runs up on him and knocks him out. She is back in uniform.

My thoughts: This episode was designed to set up the hour and a half season finale. Things are heating up on the outside as Daryl and Rick come across mutilations and things are getting more intense on the inside as Rick and Sasha both seemed to have snapped. Rick has reached a whole different level of crazy. He believes he knows what is right for everyone and that is not sitting well with Deanna. We all knew that Nicholas was going to lie but he should have admitted to being a coward, you can respect someone who admits their weakness instead of continuing to lie. Personally I think they were being heavy handed with the red balloon and the W concept. Subtlety can make a show work you do not have to beat us over the head with symbolism. The question is who is going to die in the final episode. Share your thoughts in the comments?

Crash the Biggest Party with Bad Guy Bowser in Mario Party 10 for Wii U


Crash the biggest party with bad guy Bowser in Mario Party 10 for Wii U (Photo: Business Wire)

Join the amiibo Party with a New Set of amiibo That Includes a New Toad Figure. On March 20, you are invited to the biggest and baddest bash of the year: Mario Party 10 for Wii U! In addition to a power-packed lineup of new features, new boards and new mini-games, new revelers join the Mario Party fun in the game’s ground-breaking Bowser Party and amiibo Party modes. When bad guy Bowser crashes the party to playfully torment up to four additional players on Team Mario, the franchise’s social experience takes an unprecedented and deviously good turn. In amiibo Party mode, which requires at least one compatible amiibo figure to access, you and up to three other players can tap amiibo to the Wii U GamePad controller to play with and customize your amiibo, and change a portion of the board to match your character.

To add more fun to the Mario Party 10 game, a new set of amiibo called the Super Mario series will also launch simultaneously on March 20. The Super Mario series features the amiibo debut of Toad, as well as new designs for Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Princess Peach and Yoshi. The new “Super Mario series” Mario amiibo design will be available exclusively in a Mario Party 10 bundle that also launches on March 20 at a suggested retail price of $59.99. The other amiibo figures will be sold separately at a suggested retail price of $12.99 each.

“Mario Party 10 is one party you definitely don’t want to miss,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Brimming with innovative ways to play and featuring creative GamePad and amiibo support, Mario Party 10 delivers hours of family-friendly fun exclusively for Wii U.”

For the first time in the Mario Party series, you can pick up the GamePad and have a fiery blast stepping into the trouble-making role of everyone’s favorite bad guy: Bowser. You and up to four other players can participate in this wild new mode, with four players joining Team Mario using Wii Remote controllers (sold separately) and one playing as Bowser using the GamePad. As Bowser, your goal is simple: Prevent Team Mario from stealing the Star at the end of the board. Trying to succeed is the fun part! By playing a series of mini-games exclusive to this mode, Bowser can spit fire, spin an electric wheel, shoot Bullet Bills and cause general mayhem. The welcome role reversal adds a new layer of fun and friendly competition to the Mario Party series.

In the traditional Mario Party mode, up to four players travel together around a variety of colorful and detailed boards like Mushroom Park, Haunted Trail and the high-flying Airship Central. Although you are traveling with friends, every player is still out for him- or herself, since whoever collects the most Mini Stars at the end of the board wins! Earn these coveted Mini Stars by winning a variety of multiplayer mini-games or by participating in events around the board. The easy-to-learn and highly entertaining mini-games break up the game play by letting you and your friends compete to race up a tower, dodge angry bees or quickly pump up a balloon. You can even team up in “2 vs. 2” or “1 vs. 3” games, or even battle bosses as a group. Even after playing with amiibo in amiibo Party mode, crashing the party as Bowser or tackling the dizzying number of mini-games in classic Mario Party mode, Mario Party 10 still offers more things to do. In Toad’s Room, you can pose your characters in a Photo Studio and shop for new characters and vehicles to use in the game. In Bonus Games mode, challenge yourself to a series of Bowser Jr. Challenges and even experience the jewel-matching fun of Jewel Drop.

With all this great content, you probably want to invite all your friends and family members over for a Mario Party 10 party as soon as the game launches. To throw the best Mario Party 10 party ever, visit http://marioparty10.nintendo.com/#partyplanner for all your party-planning needs. And before the big event, head to Twitter today and follow @NintendoAmerica starting at 1 p.m. PT for a virtual launch party with fun quizzes, a chance to win awesome prizes and a very special guest that you seriously won’t want to miss. (Hint: He says “MUAHAHAHA” a lot and likes to stand on poorly constructed bridges over pits of molten lava.) Mario Party 10 will be available in stores, in the Nintendo eShop and at Nintendo.com on March 20 at a suggested retail price of $49.99. For more information about the game, visit http://marioparty10.nintendo.com.

Unearth Extreme Adventure in Fossil Fighters: Frontier for Nintendo 3DS


Battle, Dig and Drive Through the Prehistoric World of Vivosaurs. Brave explorers of the Fossil Fighters: Frontier game will discover a huge 3D world filled with fossils to excavate, prehistoric creatures to revive and primeval battles to conquer. The new portable game, launching for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems on March 20, has players grabbing their excavation tools, hopping in fully customizable vehicles and heading out into the wild world to dig up fossils and revive them into vivosaurs (think of them as extra powerful, extra colorful and extra awesome dinosaurs). These collectible vivosaurs can then be trained and sent into turn-based battles with other mighty beasts. Fossil Fighters: Frontier also lets friends explore and excavate together, fight as a team against rogue vivosaurs and battle in six-player multiplayer reptilian rumbles.

The expansive world of Fossil Fighters: Frontier is rich with things to discover. By hopping behind the wheel of a customizable Bone Buggy, players can explore to excavate fossils that can transform into a wide variety of different vivosaurs. After unearthing fossils, players place them in the back of their Bone Buggies to carefully clean and revive them using the touch screen of the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. Various upgradeable tools like drills and hammers can be found in the game and used in the fun and intuitive excavation process. Select dig sites might even host puzzle- or speed-based challenges, which can be completed to earn valuable and power-enhancing rare fossils.“Video game fans are about to get an adventure of prehistoric proportions,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Between Fossil Fighters: Frontier,Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. and the upcoming Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition games, it’s a great time to be a Nintendo 3DS owner.”

Finding fossils and collecting resurrected vivosaurs is only part of the fun, as these prehistoric creatures can be sent into truly epic battles that pit vivosaur versus vivosaur. All vivosaurs fall into one of five elemental categories – Water, Fire, Air, Earth and Neutral – and possess a special ability that will assist them in battle. Players will encounter many different types of battles in the game, whether a story-based battle that takes place in the main campaign, daily tournaments or even StreetPass battles that let players train against other vivosaurs they pick up while using the StreetPass feature.

And the robust multiplayer options in the game don’t end there. In co-op local wireless, friends who each own a Nintendo 3DS system and the Fossil Fighters: Frontier game can team up and visit dig sites together. Each player travels in his or her own Bone Buggy and can work together to excavate the same fossils or work together to dig out hard to excavate fossils more effectively. Fossil Fighters: Frontier even features local wireless battles with up to six players or tournaments with up to two friends! Players who want to take their battles online using broadband Internet access can compete in one-on-one battles against random players to fight to the top of monthly online leaderboards.

For more information about Fossil Fighters: Frontier, visit http://fossilfighters.nintendo.com. Excavators-in-training that visit the game’s website will also have the ability to search for hidden fossils. These five fossils are hidden all over the site, and each time one is found, a new bonus, like wallpapers, game tips and exclusive activity, is unlocked. The site can be browsed right now, but the fossil hunt unlocks on March 20, the same day the game launches in stores and in the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS at a suggested retail price of $29.99.

Remember that Nintendo 3DS features parental controls that let adults manage the content their children can access. For more information about this and other features, visit http://www.nintendo.com/3ds.

Charlie Hunnam as King Arthur


We get a first look of Charlie Hunnam as King Arthur in the upcoming Guy Ritchie film, Kings of the Round Table. The movie is slated for July 22, 2016 release. The film is reported to be a fantasy action adventure. Synopsis: A young Arthur runs the back alleys of Londonum with his gang until he come across the sword Excalibur which changes his life. "Instantly challenged by the power of Excalibur, Arthur is forced to make some hard choices. Throw in the Resistance and a mysterious woman named Gunivere, he must learn to master the sword, face down his demons, and unite the people to defeat the tyrant Vortigem, who stole his crown and murdered his parents, and become King. 

My Thoughts: I am sorry is it just me or is this just the medieval version of Sons of Anarchy. Instead of a gun and bike he now has a sword and horse. My question is will Katy Segal play Morgaine/Morgana? 

What do you think of this film?

Women in Gaming by Nintendo

In Honor of Women’s History Month, Nintendo is highlighting some of everyone’s favorite female characters such as Samus Aran, Rosalina, and Toadette. Paving the way for diverse and interesting female protagonists in video games, Nintendo has picked a few of their popular leading ladies that merit this recognition for the month that honors outstanding women. Please see the descriptions and images below for some background on these iconic female characters that have been an important part of Nintendo through the years. 


In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, Princess Zelda was actually a tough and spunky captain of a ragtag group of pirates. Tetra saves Link from Ganondorf’s clutches, and later helps Link defeat Ganondorf for good to save the world.


Toadette is a recurring Toad character in the Mario series. These days, she’s a plucky treasure-hunter inCaptain Toad: Treasure Tracker, who puts on a brave face to find rare goodies and save Captain Toad from the monstrous and greedy bird, Wingo.


Bayonetta is a sassy and incredibly stylish witch with pistol-stilettos and a vendetta against the armies of angels and demons that hunt her. She’s a force to be reckoned with, an ally to her best friend and fellow witch Jeanne and doesn’t take flak from anybody.


Rosalina is an interstellar observer, protector of the Lumas and friend to Mario in Super Mario Galaxy. She is mother to the Lumas, who are little star-like creatures capable of becoming new galaxies!


Lucina is an unwavering warrior with a strong sense of justice and commitment to her family. Her power, determination and wisdom gained from watching the destruction of her world are priceless strengths as one of Fire Emblem Awakening’s many playable female protagonists.


Samus Aran shocked the video game world at the end of the original Metroid game by revealing her gender and changing the way we think about video game characters in the process. Video game protagonists need not be male in order to be strong. Samus is a space bounty hunter in an armored suit, outfitted with a powerful blaster on the arm and extreme heat resistance.


Bombette is a Bob-omb who joins Mario on his quest in the original Paper Mario for the Nintendo 64. As a member of Mario’s diverse team of fighters, she has an explosive fighting style and isn’t afraid to get physical with her body slam and powerful bomb attacks.
