Delve into the Forgotten Realms (WoTSQ Part 1)

Welcome dear readers to the world of Forgotten Realms a world of high magic and high adventure. A world literally run by thousands upon thousands of gods and goddesses. But these series of books do not take place on the surface of this mystical and fantastic world. The War of The Spider Queen, takes place below the surface and below the ocean under the crust and cut off from the sun. Welcome to the underdark, a subworld of vast creatures and animals. Most predominately the Sub-Race of elves known as the Drow.

The premise behind Book one of The War of The Spider Queen is called Dissolution. We are introduced to the fact that the Drow's Matron Deity has gone silent. Lloth the goddess who corrupted a race of Elves into turning evil. With Lloth silent and seemingly disconnected from her followers all of her clerics subsequently lose their divine magic. This is disconcerting to the Drow especially the females who are the dominate of the race and tend to make all the rules of the Dark Elf cities. With their divine magics gone they know they are vulnerable to attack especially from their Arcane wielding male counterparts. Things in the city of Menzobaeranzen have become tense and male Drow have gone missing.

The book introduces the main characters very well and keeps you invested in the characters all through out the book. From beginning to end you want to find out more about the characters and what they are going to do next. This book alone made me want to go out and devour the following five books.

Standard to the start of any adventure series the book has the basic character types. You have, Fighter; Wizard; Cleric; Rogue; Ranger and Bard. Not all the characters introduced in the first book but that is okay because the next book will bring them in and they will add some new spice the already well tasting book.

Characters:
Ryld: Fighter and one of the Masters of Melee Magthere (The Drow School of fighters). At first he comes off as the slow type as is the usual when writing fighers. But as you read more about him you find him to be more mentally capable then he leads on especially when it comes to battle Strategy.

Phaerun Mizrym: Wizard and one of the Masters of Sorcere (Drow School of Magic), because of his station in the city and his up bringing Phaerun at first appears to be haughty egotistical and rude even to his long time "friend" Ryld. As the story goes on you find out that he has the power to back up everything he says he can do and that he is a clever enough person that you should proceed with caution when messing with him.

Quenthel Baenre: Cleric and Psion, Head Mistress of Arach-tinilth (The Drow School of Clerics) Next in line for the Spot of Matron of the first house of Menzobaeranzen Quenthel is literally one step away from supreme power in the entire city. But afflicted like the rest of the clerics of the clergy she can not access her divine powers and is being plagued by a seemingly endless assault of fiends.

Valas Hune: Rogue, Ranger: At this time in the story not much is known about Valas other then he is a member of a band of Mercs formed by the infamous Jaraxle.

I HIGHLY recommend you go out and pick up this book, it is a story that got me back into reading Fantasy Novels and is a book I have read at least four times.

Coming in the following weeks

For the next couple of weeks (3 weeks to be exact) I will be doing a 6 part review. The review is for a Series of books. I will be reviewing

The War of The Spider Queen

Capcom dicks over Megaman Fans

Videogame programer legends CAPCOM cancel the Megaman legends 3 project because of lack of meeting of Criteria (to me this means they don't have the budget for it). But the backlash from fans has gotten to a point where CAPCOM has had to turn fans away from their San Diego Comic Con booth. I was never a fan of the Legends series but It was a fun series with a unique spin the Megaman Games. I personally would have loved to see an HD Blue Bomber for next gen consoles. BUT Alas it will not be. According to some the hardcore fans I follow on Twitter. They feel that CAPCOM is taunting them with a Toy they can't play with. Having not followed the hype or the Developer stuff for MM3 I am not sure. But I know if this were to happen with say I don't Star Wars: The Old Republic a game I have been following development for since 2008 were to suddenly just up and cancel. You can bet I would have the biggest case of nerd rage that would make the Hulk Jealous.

One Wing and The Hand of Power

The scene, a dark and abandoned field, lightning is crashing in the background. Approaching the center thunder clapping with each foot step as the two approach each other, they look into each other’s eyes and draw their swords. One wields a wicked looking bastard sword, the other wielding an eight foot long Dai-Katana. Both take their stances and prepare for battle.

Bio: Sephiroth, home game Final Fantasy VII, age unknown, eyes glowing green. Sephiroth is an elite soldier of legend inspiring many would be soldiers to the side of Shinra’s army. It is known that Sephiroth is the byproduct of a genetic experimentation using the cells of an extraterrestrial being known as JENOVA. Sephiroth uses an eight foot long Dai-Katana known simply as Masamune a legendary blade (in both actual Japanese folklore and in Final Fantasy games). He is responsible for kill countless people including the president of Shinra Corp and for summoning Meteor. His aspirations to godhood can only come to be is if he fuses his body with the planet’s life force known simply as the Life Stream. He is a formidable warrior and despite the apparent unwieldy look of his sword it is quite dangerous. Do not underestimate him at any cost because he can and will hand your ass to you quickly.

Bio: Ganondorf A.K.A Ganon, home game The Legend of Zelda Series. Born to an all female race of Hylian women known as the Gerudo. He is the child of prophecy, the first male born to the Gerudo in 100 years will be crowned king of the thieves. He is trained in stealth and melee combat and magic, his adoptive mothers the twin witches taught him how to use magic. Ganon has the tri-force of power on his side and uses it power to bring himself back from beyond many a times throughout the history of Zelda. He looks intimidating and it is true he is, defeating him does not end the fight. He has the ability to transform into a much larger much more powerful beast of destruction.

The Fight:

The combatants rush each other and the clang of metal on metal can be heard for miles. One particular blow sends both combatants backwards and true to his training Ganondorf takes to the air and starts to fire balls of energy at Sephiroth who takes to the air and charges forward cutting through the energy like it was nothing. With a cruel grin Sephiroth slashes through the stunned king of thieves sending the lifeless body plummeting to the ground. Watching the scene below Sephiroth notices a triangle burning to life on Ganondorf’s hand as he comes back to life and transforms into Ganon. Without even a look of shock Sephiroth proceeds to make short work of Ganon despite the devastating power of the beasts Twin swords which Sephiroth easily counters. With one downward thrust Sephiroth drops the beast .

Winner: Sephiroth

Reasons why I hated Transformers 3

Okay first of all I do not care how much money this piece of shit film has made. Put all the sparkles on the piece of shit you want it is still a Piece of Shit. I went into the movie with little to no expectations because to give any movie a fair shake you can not walk in with your expectations set one way or another. I went to the movie with some friends who absolutely LOVED the first two. I will list for you the reasons I hated this movie.

1. The acting
2. The lack of Transformers.
3. Without an extensive knowledge of who is who you can not tell which decepticon is which.
4. Shea LeBouf and his infamous WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW and the high pitched female scream.
5. The character of Sam and his constant bitching. "I don't feel worth while. Everybody has it better then me cause they can do stuff that matters." YOU ARE LIVING FOR FREE IN AN EXPENSIVE APARTMENT, YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS A TWENTY ON A SCALE FROM ONE TO TEN, SHE PAYS FOR ALL YOUR SHIT AND YOU MATTER TO HER. WHY ARE YOU BITCHING.
6. Star Screams Death
7. The length of the movie. 240 minutes, get rid of the first 90 mins and the movie would have been better.
8. The unnecessary celeb cameos.
9. The over use of Star Trek. We get it Leonard Nimoy is in the film move on please.
10. Having Nimoy Rape The Wrath of Khan by saying the quote "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." It was out of context end of story.
11. As hot as Roise Huntington is, she has the same tone in every scene.

I am not the only one who hated this movie. My friends who I went to see this with, hated this movie also

In the ring coming thursday

A villain battle.



Vs

Dark Knight Rises. Updates and things that have been confirmed.

The Third Movie in the Nolan Batman Series. There is two things we now know for Fact. The Villains will be Bane and Ra's Al Ghul. It is no longer a Rumor, Liam Neeson has returned to reprise the role and has finished taping. Dark Knight Rises will be out July 20 2012 (Barring any post production set backs)

Well that was to be expected

Vinny has been seen at the Jersey Shore house again. After "quitting" he has come back. Maybe MTV got the money Vinny wanted. That is the only reason I can see him returning after quitting. So Season 5 (typing down in Seaside again) will have the majority of the cast. The Situation not to sure if he actually quit or was just talking shit like always.

This is not a great show but the kids on this show act like it would fall apart if they left. MTV has a slue of douche bags who would kill to have that job and get paid to do nothing but party, drink and pick up girls.

Fist Pumping Stopped?

Reports have come out that Vinny and Mike "The Situation" have quit and are talking about quiting The Jersey Shore. While I am not sure if this going to effect Season 5 of the show (because Season 4 is already taped and apparently Season 5 started taping upon their return from Italy). While this show is intellectually devoid of any common sense. Though coming from MTV this is to be expected. It was a highly rated show because it managed to draw in viewers who both love and hated it for all that it was. With Vinny and Situation leaving does this mean they will get two new replacements like they did in Season 3 with Snooki's Best Friend. Only time will tell because despite the main cast constantly talking about leaving this show has 4 seasons and a potential 5th.

Other jersey shore news there is a leaked video on the internet of a Drunk Snooki bumping and grinding a house plant.........Classy

Beating the Double Thrust Low

When you think of awesome swordsmen in fantasy one of the biggest names to pop into your head (hopefully) is Link from the Legend of Zelda Series. When you think of sword mastery in a high fantasy series, hopefully you think of Drizzt Do’Urden. Tonight these two master of the swords will go head to head, sword to sword. In the battle to see who will come out on top as Master of the Swords and who will go down in a blaze of glory.

BIO: Link

Wielding a Long sword know as The Sword of Evil’s Bane, The Master Sword. It is never explained where his sword wielding skills come from. They just seem to be innate. He has taken down the king of evil Ganondorf countless times and many other evils Including a Moon that is being dropped on the planet CoughRIPOFFcoughcough sorry . Link has spanned the ages in terms of videogame characters, having had versions of himself on multiple consoles and cartoons. A true blue honorable hero who will do anything for anyone at the drop of the hat. He wields the triforce of courage and the power of the sages and oricales. His chronicles and timeline are a hot topic of nerd debates that have people at each others throats. Love him or hate him Link is a master of the sword and shield, bow and arrow, and masks (I know it is weird). Give him the Deities Mask and he unleashes a Dark and Dangerous version of himself on foes.


BIO: Drizzt Do’Urden

A drow fighter, ranger, barbarian, wielding twin Scimitars named Twinkle (LOL) and Icing Death. Drizzt is a fighter you should not take lightly, he is quick; agile; ruthless and dangerous when cornered. Spending the most formative years of his life under the tutelage and servitude of his older sister who he oddly spares when it comes to dealing with his family in general. Being raised in the ruthless chaotic life of Menzoberanzen in the Underdark takes its toll on people. But even more so when you are trained to be a fighter in Tier Breeches Melee Magthere (The school of fighters), here he was trained in the art of Dual Wielding weapons. Graduating first in his class and primed to be his houses Weapon Master, a position held by his now dead father. After a falling out with this family, Drizzt escaped the cruelity of his world by living in the wilds of the Underdark. It was here he became a barbaric fighter retreating in the dark depths of his mind just to survive, his only companion was a magical Black Panther that he can summon from an Onyx crystal figure. A powerful fighter and a misunderstood man, constantly on a search to find someone who likes him and not automatically hate him because of his race.

THE FIGHT
This fight is an intense fight with both combatants not giving the other any ground. It will be flashy and epic with god chorus music playing in the background. Both would push each other to the limits until Drizzt slips into his darker self and becomes a beast of destruction. Even tuckered out the two would be evenly matched, that is until The magic of Twinkle gets the better of the master sword leaving Icing Death to go in for the kill shot.

WINNER: DRIZZT DO’URDEN
