CHARGERS SIGN DWIGHT FREENEY

DwightFreeney1a

The Chargers have signed former Indianapolis Colt, Dwight Freeney. They have signed him to a two year deal. The signing of Freeney comes after Melvin Ingram tore his ACL leaving a spot open at the outside linebacker position. Even if Dwight Freeney were to play defensive end he would still be a force on the Charger squad. This is a huge signing for San Diego because Freeney brings with him years of experience, and leadership to a relatively young defense.

As those of you who were awesome enough to come join me on The Tuesday show know that I am slowly becoming addicted to MMO games again, currently playing Neverwinter, Ragnarok Online II, Star Wars The Old Republic, and EVE online my gaming time is pretty crazy. Now besides working full time and trying to go to school full time I am also going to get back to streaming EVERY Monday and Tuesday ALL DAY. plus trying to upload as many videos a week that I can. Ok with that disclaimer out of the way let’s get to our subject at hand, Grinding. This is essentially part of every MMO and at times can be the hardest part to get through in order to enjoy end game raiding or PVP.

Hey my fellow gamers all around. On today’s Injustice update I bring you a brand new DLC skin reveal. Today’s skin belong to the one and only BANE.

It will be available May 21st with the next compatibility pack update.

Injustice:Gods Among Us new DLC skin pack

20130514-100304.jpg

Today I bring you two images of The Joker’s “The Killing Joke” DLC skin pack. It will contain 3 unique alt skins for The Joker. The two that I have for you today are pretty awesome because they are in fact very popular in the comics. The first one is “Tourist Joker” which was the outfit The Joker wore when he shot and paralyzed Barbara Gordon which you can also see in action in the Batgirl reveal video released last week. The second I’m a very huge fan of, it’s actually one of my favorites if not favorite of all time Joker outfit everyone knows the Joker for, it is from ” The Final Confrontation”.

Dead Island Rip Tide Review

dead island riptide sc

My first impression when Dead Island Rip Tide was announced was, cool DLC for Dead Island is coming out. After learning that it isn’t a sequel either. I wasn’t sure what to think. I played the first Dead Island but didn’t get too far cause of the glitches and awkward controls. Regarding Dead Island I thought the concept was great, but the execution was poor.My hope was that Rip Tide improved upon what Dead Island had started.

Black Ops 2 Uprising Impressions

Out now for the 360 at 1200 MSP / $15

After finally being able to play a bit of Uprising, here are my initial impressions of Black Ops 2′s newest DLC.

Studio

By the gods, how I missed Firing Range from Black Ops. This was the map to play for domination on the competitive playlist. My heart bleeds a little from it not being in league play. It’s a whole new setting, a movie studio, with a few differences here and there from the original map, but besides that, it still acts and feels like Firing Range. You’d be crazy not to run trophy system on domination.

Today we have another awesome reveal for this weeks Injustice: Gods Among Us DLC skins. Today’s reveal is a new one for Wonder Woman. I enjoy this alternate costume because it based off of Wonder Woman #600, which is when DC celebrated the 600th issue of everyone’s favorite Amazonian princess.

Villains Exposed “Iron Man 3”: Who is The Mandarin?

pdc_themandarin

 

The Mandarin is probably the most notorious of all Iron Man villains. His insidious attempts at global domination had loomed like wraith over Tony Stark. The Mandarin is one of the few people in the Marvel universe that is smarter than Tony Stark and as powerful as Iron Man. When you have overwhelming hero such as Iron Man the challenge is always to create a villain of equal or greater abilities. The Mandarin is in every way Iron Mans superior.

Injustice:Gods Among Us DLC Skin

Today Nether Realm studios have revealed another DLC skin for another character. The none other Harley Quinn. I really like this alternate skin because it is the outfit that I think everyone knows her in. It’s the outfit that when someone says her name they automatically see her in this outfit. So big thumbs up to NetherRealm Studios on this decision.

Ever have those achievements where you thought it was an epic fail?

Regardless these achievements are part of some of the epic failures that we receive in gaming.
