Carmen Sandiego and other News

Instead of releasing games that may actually be fun, Wii continues to disappoint with it's kid educational stuff.  Bringing back a series from when I was a kid.  Carmen Sandiego the worlds Greatest Thief,  who taught us all about Geography and History and Space as we searched for her and the stuff she stole.  Will now be teaching kids math on The Wii.  I can see it now "OH NOES SOMEONE HAS STOLEN THE ANSWERS TO THESE MATH QUESTIONS........."

A Doctor Who MMO, Yes just YES when this one comes out I will be playing it.  Hell Yes.  I know it is nerdy but damnit I hope it is awesome.

News:  I am trying to save up money so that I can start going to gaming and Anime Conventions.  This way I can get potential news from Sources such as creators and Voice Actors.  CAUSE THAT WOULD BE BADASS.

Projects:  Working on something and saving up money on the side to fund this new potential project.  I will keep you all posted as to when I get a time table to get this project off the ground.

A possible return of Firefly?????

While listening to Nerdist Podcast.  Nathan Fillion was the main guest where the Podcast episode 65 was recorded.  A lot of talk on the show about Nathan possibly buying Firefly from Joss Whedon.  There was also mention of a fan of Nathan's who started a website specifically to help Nathan raise money so he could in fact buy Firefly.  I for one hope that Firefly returns my fellow nerd friends got me into the show and I would watch the new episodes if they do happen to get made.

In other news, some critics have stated praise for the Sequel to Final Fantasy XIII.  Not so much for it's story but more so for it's gameplay.  XIII-2 has corrected it's mistakes that it made in XIII, you do still only control one character in battle at a time BUT, should that character fall in battle it isn't instant game over.  The time travel aspect is said to be interesting and gives the game a new flavor.  I may have to go out and buy this one.  One because I am a fan of the FF series and 2 because I was going to buy it regardless. 

Good news the voting of SOPA has been put down due to Over Whelming  responses to senators and house reps.  The people of America of all parties came together to stop this idiotic act.  Is it over trying to censor the internet is an on going thing.  But this news is old.  I am sure as we speak the lobbyists and the entertainment companies are going to try again.

In closing I am hoping that Firefly returns and XIII-2 will be bought and played especially if it is as good as people say it is.  We must remain vigilante and keep an eye on our government so that they don't try to sneak censorship legislation through the cracks.

Good day and I will see you guys in the new month.  I had a wonderful near month off and I feel recharged.  I have a slue of projects in mind and look forward to bring them to the team and hopefully to all of you.

Vance McRory

Vance McRory
Born: August 1, 1974 – Embraced: August 5, 1994

The Early Years:  Vance was born to a moderately wealthy middle class family in the city of Boston being from a father and mother who were both Irish.  Vance’s father and mother ran a Pub a few blocks away from Fenway Park, it was a bar where both Criminal and Cop could be sitting next to each other drinking a beer and then be back on the streets enemies again.  Vance was treated with a good amount of respect from the other kids because of his heritage and the Reputation of his father.  Growing up in Boston Vance learned quickly that only smartest and most cunning survived and with his good grades along with his street smarts he did just that he survived. 

Throughout middle and high school, Vance excelled despite a few trips to juvenile detention.  It wasn’t until his junior year of High School where Vance met his girl friend Kaitlin Cray a local girl and daughter to a known Irish Mob Boss.  Even with who she was Vance tried to better himself for her, so that he could be the type of man she would be proud to bring home to her father.  The Crays and The McRorys became close friends as their children grew closer.  Even up after Vance and Kaitlin got accepted into Boston University the two families remained close.  Vance majored in Criminal Justice and minored in religious studies and became fascinated by the darker aspects of religious beliefs.  This eventually branched off into studying about supernatural beings in his free time.  Where he became friendly with a local Occult book store owner who unknown to Vance until much later was a ghoul to his soon to be sire. 

The Embrace:  One seemingly normal night at the local library Vance had been studying for a final in his political science class.  His studies had been interrupted by the smell of cinnamon mixed with Vanilla.  Much to his shock and amazement a beautiful Red Headed woman sat across from him with a hauntingly beautiful smile.  Even as the mysterious woman talked him into going to a club with her he could feel Kaitlin’s engagement ring weighting heavily in his pocket.  At the end of the night the woman had introduced herself as Sarah and the two split ways after she slipped her tongue down his throat for a goodbye kiss.

The next couple of nights were the same, Vance would meet with Sarah and go to a club each night he would stay out longer and longer some nights he would sleep with Sarah and not go home at all.  With each passing night Kaitlin would worry and go searching and find nothing of her boyfriend only to have him turn up close to noon tired and disheveled.

At the end of the second week during one of their nightly outings in the middle of a particularly hot meeting Sarah turned Vance.  The pain was intense as the sickeningly sweet Blood of his now sire trickled down his throat and brought the gift of unlife to his drained body.  He felt like his body was trying to destroy itself but then it stopped and the pain eased away.  

The Haunting of Vance McRory:  The one time in a vampire’s unlife where Frenzy is considered natural and un-punishable because of the circumstances.  The first night of unlife when the Beast takes complete control and all you can do is feed.  This particular night would forever etch itself into Vance’s memory.  He awoke to a crying Kaitlin stroking the hair behind his ear as she often did when she would spend the night with Vance.  Kaitlin smiled when he awoke and wiped a tear away from her eyes just glad to see him awake.  Unsure of what to do like a frightened newborn Vance listened half heartedly as Kaitlin explained how she came to be with him in this unfamiliar place.  The pangs of hunger got stronger and stronger, he imagined hearing Kaitlin’s heart beating or was it two heart beats he couldn’t be sure.  But then it happened like a raging grizzly Vance pushed Kaitlin to the wall.  The beast had taken him and with it Kaitlin lost the man she loved.

As Vance fed off the life force of the woman he had loved for so long a single word seeped through the unbridled rage of the beast “Baby”.  But it was too late he killed her and their unborn child.  As the rage slipped away he cradled the broken bloody body that had once been his love and mother to his child.  He screamed in rage unable to cry as he punched the walls of his sire’s home.  As his rage subsided sitting in a chair was the ghost of Kaitlin holding a ghostly male child.  “From this day forward until your time ends I will never forgive you for what you have done you broke our love and killed us both.”  The ghost seemingly faded from site.  But it would not be the last time he would see her.  He looked down at the body and slipped into unconiousness.

The Second Life:  The night life in Boston on the nights he had off from his job monitoring the crazies Patrick Crowley would haunt night clubs.  Picking up women fully aware that despite how well built the female’s boyfriend was he knew he could take them in a fight.  As he walked around the room when he awoke from his nap he noticed a few things a dead female and his clothes were bloody.  He looked around panicked for a moment before collecting his thoughts and then with a surge of strength  and adrenaline he quickly wrapped the body in a throw rug and picked up the dead woman and snuck out to his car and put her in the trunk. 

Once he was in the car, he made his way down to the docks and after attaching the wrapped up body in chains and then some cinder blocks he found nearby.  With what seemed like ease to him he hurled the body into the harbor and watched the body sink.  He drove as fast as he could back to the apartment to get cleaned up and threw out his bloody clothes deciding to burn them later he washed furiously and put on fresh clothes he found waiting for him.  He heard knocking on the door and a woman calling for a man named Vance.  “NO ONE HERE BY THAT NAME TRY NEXT DOOR.”  The voice on the other side said she would return when Vance did.  Whatever that meant, all he knew is he had to leave and had to go clear his head.  He never made it out of the front door as a needle was punctured into his neck and he dropped.

Boston A City of perils and Dreams:  Vance would spend the better part of 17 years working for his clan and the cities Prince.  He did odd jobs including collecting the newly turned for their appearances in court to meet with the prince.  He had learned much but it was time for him to strike out on his own in a new city.  He packed up his things and arranged for apartment in New Orleans and to follow protocol of the Masquerade made plans to meet with the Prince to tell him or her that he would be staying in their city.

He was hoping that in New Orleans he would find escape from his ghost and be able to start a new despite the various voices that talked to his mind when he least wanted them too. 

Divisional Championship round

Besides for super bowl Sunday, this Sunday is the biggest day of the season for both divisions four teams will be competing for the chance to play in Indianapolis for the Super Bowl.  Two games four teams who have fought kicking and screaming to reach the top of their division.  Some teams have had a rough patch over the past couple of seasons making it to the wildcard or first round and then losing.  Others have something to prove to their fans. Enough who ha, lets get to the Break downs.


Sunday: 3:00pm
Patriots Vs Ravens

Out of all the teams going into this round The Ravens have the healthiest Roster with only one Probable playing Injury.  They have had a hard fought year and their preformance last week was good, not great but good.  Just like the Broncos they have to challenge a team that is very dangerous at home.  Look back at last week and you will see why.  Coming into this round off a commanding victory over the Broncos, The Patriots have a vigor to them hasn't been seen in a few seasons. With a lot injuries most of them questionable to play and a hand full of probables.  The Ravens if they can pull their offense together and keep the Pressure on Tom Brady they may squeak out a win.  But even with the odds stacked against him Tom Brady has a nack for pulling together his team.  I am giving this win Sunday in the AFC to Brady and the Patriots.


Sunday: 6:30pm
Giants vs 49ers

Many doubters thought the Giants would have fallen flat on their faces in the Wildcard round and then again last Sunday to the Top Favorite to reach the Super Bowl uncontested.  Even with a fate defying run in the playoffs the Giants are going to California against one of the toughest Defenses in the league.  With a huge amount injuries and Eli Manning Probable to play who fully participated in practice this week even while sick.  The Niners are going into this round relatively healthy with only 4 people on their injury list.  The 49ners won last sunday by the skin of their teeth.  As hungry for a Super Bowl as team they will be facing a renewed moral Giants team who curb stomped The Packers who had up until last Sunday pretty much Dominated the league.  As much as I want the Giants to win I am going to call in favor of the 49ers.  Both teams have grown since they last played each other but more is on the line this time around.

I will be back with the results Sunday after the Giants game.  Until then feel free to call me an idiot in the comments below.  Have a great time watching these games.

Divisional Round over and the results

An amazing day of football has been played with the Ravens beating the Texans and the Giants ending the Season of the Packers who most people believed would be going back to back in the Super Bowl this season.  As for my Predictions for today.  I was right on my call of the Ravens beating the Texans.  I however should have called the Giants to win, but such is life and no one is perfect.  The Giants beating the Packers in this way was surprising to me but I did however say in my prediction post.  "The only way I see the Giants winning this game is if Eli Manning can get the momentum going early in the game and keeping it going."  I was right on that aspect.  But it wasn't just Manning, it was a combined Effort of the Offense and The Defense.  The biggest problem for the Packers today was not being able to keep their hands on the ball when it was thrown to them and The fact that the most rushing yards gained came from Aaron Rodgers.

Next week we have The NFC and The AFC championship games of The Ravens Vs The Patriots and The Giants Vs The 49ers.  Click back over here on Thursday for my Predictions and as always Thank you for reading.

Prediction Record thus far 6 games predicted right and 2 games predicted wrong.

Saturday Night Round One

Saturday night is over and two games of four are done.  As predicted The 49ers beat the Saints in a well fought battle.  In a record breaking game with 45 points The Patriots steamrolled the Broncos, officially redeeming themselves for the last time these two teams met in the post season.  For all my hatred of Tim Tebow, he will be a quarterback to watch.  One half of this round is done and I will be back tomorrow night to fill everyone in on whether or not my predictions on this round came to pass.

Down to Eight

In this coming weekends round of the NFL playoffs we have eight teams jockeying for a spot in their respective Conference championship round. All four of these games are going to be hard fought with each team just as hungry as the other for that chance to be crowned best in the conference and ultimately crowned best in the entire league. I don't have to stress how important this round is because it will set the tone for divisional championship.

Saturday Game:1; 4:30pm New Orleans Vs San Fransisco: My Prediction: Though it is going to be a rough and tumble game with a few lead changes here and there. I feel the saints are going into this round not healthy enough to finish the job. The Extra week of rest will have done the 49ers good and I see them coming out on top.

Game 2: 8:00pm Denver Vs New England: My Prediction: Like I said Earlier this game is going to be the game to watch this weekend save for the Giants Packers game on Sunday. With some gut clinching moments I see the Patriots ultimately coming out on top.

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY Game1: 1:00pm My Prediction: I am going to give this one to the Ravens on the grounds that their roster is healthier, better prepared and rested. It is football it can go either way. But ultimately it will come down with The Ravens on top.

Game 2: 4:30pm New York Vs Green Bay: My Prediction: While I do not like predicting this game one way or another because I tend to Jinx the Giants when I do. I am going to play conservative and give a begrudging victory to the packers. They have the better record of 15-1 to the Giants 9-7. Aaron Rodgers is one hell of a Quarterback. But in all fairness this is going to be a nail biting game considering how dangerous The Giants have proven to be in the Second half of games. The only way I see this prediction not coming true is if Eli Manning can get the momentum going early on in the game and keeping it going all game.

Thank for taking the time to read this post and I will post the Results of these predictions on Sunday night. Until then feel free to discuss in the comment section on how much of an idiot you think I am for my Predictions.
