Fable 3 Review
1 comments
You can find the original posting at GeekThugRadio.com
Now because I hearted Fable 2 I would absolutely love to give the third installment a glowing, over the top review. BUT because of said hearting of F2 I simply can't! Change is good but I'd like to hear the complaints about 2 that caused the changes to 3! Where's the wheel o' emotions? No inventory to scope out? And for the love of Pete what is with the Simon-esq way you do jobs? Yellow, green, green, blue? Enough with the comparisons and let's get down to the nitty gritty. Want an easy to play, rich looking, sand boxy RPG? Get this game but don't expect a meaty story line or a lengthy amount of gameplay. Personally I beat this game in two days and that was stretching it. If you didn't know better you could sit there and breeze through the entire thing after becoming Queen or King without needing to do anything more than run between your throne room and treasury. I tried to take on side quests to boost my XP, or "Guild Shields" as they're called just to max out my magic, melee & ranged weapons. Honestly I don't think I needed to since I whopped that ass in the final battle, keeping most of my health potions and food unconsumed. My initial excitement has now waned into a slack jawed contempt all the while thinking, "No, this can't be it!". I realized with only two main quests open (finding books and shooting gnomes) that the game is over. Sure, I can play courier and wind my way through the hills and valleys, fighting balverines/mercenaries/hollowmen but that gets extremely boring and burdensome rather quickly. If this series is extended past the trilogy I'm not sure I'll be as quick on the draw as I was with this title, but I will still play it. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place with the knowledge that games will be revamped for new titles in the series but also expecting more of the same, because that's what made me a fan in the first place.

Taking Over!
0 comments
Something so amazing happened this past week that it made me cry. Yeah, I'll say it again! I cried! Obviously it had to be something earth shattering to get these eyes all misty and it was! This moment is forever seared into my memory and I'll tell the story to anyone who will listen.
If y'all didn't know MTV had a contest for their first "MTV Twitter Jockey" or "TJ". I jumped on the bandwagon about the time the TJ hopefuls were whittled down to 5, (thanks in part to all my lovely size positive ladies I follow on Twitter) and was instantly a @GabiFresh fan. Not only is she gorgeous and intelligent, she writes a blog called Young, Fat, & Fabulous. Her blog proves without a doubt that no matter what size you are you can look amazing! Soberiously check out her fashion videos she did for Vogue! YES FOR VOGUE! Her style is very far from my rockabilly-esque fashion plate that I've refined in the last few year but I want to wear what she's wearing because it looks good! I mean that's what's all about anyways right? You look good and thusly you feel good, the sun shines a bit brighter and all is well in the universe. In a flash I was inspired to go shopping, which really doesn't take much, and try this new style out. This isn't a fatshion post mainly because I haven't found anything that has tickled my fancy and besides I'm pretty sure you're interested in what me all sad face.
After an intense showdown between the other 4 contestants Ms. Gabi won. Honestly after the first 3 rounds I was pretty confident that she had the whole thing the bag anyways buuuut you know you never know! When Sway called her named I screamed and lost it! I was flipping out like I just got a job at MTV, I'm talking Kleenex and nose blowing flipping out! When I look at Gabi I see someone who looks like me and it's a gentle nudge in my side saying, "See if she can do it you sure as shit can too!" She has given fat girls a extremely public face and therefore a voice so we can band together, link chubby arm to chubby arm and say, "Yes, we're fat but hot damn don't we look good?" It is our turn to stake our claim with a "FAT IS WHERE IT'S AT" flag and stick it right in the front lawn of popular culture!
She is what the up and coming MTV generation needs because they're being drowned in Snookis and Heidis. If mainstream media showcases strong, beautiful & full figured women maybe young girls will have someone to admire and then won't have as many body issues. Speaking from experience I know that I would have been one of those admiring girls. I grew up feeling lost and had to hack and slash my way through and urban jungle to get where I am today. What I wouldn't have given to have had a fatshion guru! I'm not so naive as to think it's all going to change with one person and I'm most certainly not saying she's going to be a magic cure all but it's a start and when there's a start there's change. I do wish Ms. Gabi the best of luck in the upcoming year and I can't wait to see the positive impact that she'll make.

You do NOT know the power of the Dark Side

So if you don't know I'm a n3rd. That shit is in my blood y'all. My bio-parents played D&D (Dungeons & Dragons for you n00bs), did musical theater and watched Star Trek. Also when I was chillin in the womb my bio-mom saw Star Wars Ep. VI, which will tell you how old I am. I love that I've put in time playing D&D and Magic (I still have yet to play strip Magic...), did stints in Summer Stocks and wanted a Tribble for my birthday. I proudly push up glasses and adjust my invisible pocket protecter!
Still with me? Still interested?
Well out of everything I've grown up with Star Wars has to be closest to my heart. I read the Young Jedi Knights series in my teens and now I'm currently re-reading Timothy Zahn's Star Wars books (Thank you my tweetpea @DrewMega for jogging my memory). And though ALL the books & movies my favorite character of all is Darth Vader. Unlike Luke if he said he was my pops, I'd hop on board and rule the universe, maybe even get a hot pink lightsaber as a signing bonus! Strangely enough in my old age I've become increasingly attracted to Vader. Maybe it's the sleek, black uniform or maybe it's the way he's devastatingly ruthless. Ok, attracted is probably putting it mildly. Hmmm let's just say any boy in a Vader costume (it has to be at least movie quality, no garbage bags please) could get it BUT he'd have to leave the helmet on!
Whew ok, my panties are moist from just thinking about fogging up the window on a TIE fighter with Daddy Vader! So imagine the flood that occurred when I found out about the Vader Project, sadly I'm like 3 years behind and I missed the LA exhibit, but I digress. Basically 100 authentic Vader helmets were handed out to various artists and they created fantastical art. I mean breath taking, awe inspiring art. My catalogue is in the mail and I'll probably have to read it under plastic to keep it dry but I'd like to share some of my faves with y'all, since you stayed awake for this fangirl!
Tiki-ish inspired Vader
Seriously? Pinup & Stormtroopers are love!

I love the roses on this one

Konnichi-fucking-wa! I need this like I need a pair of wide Christian Louboutins!
Anyone want to buy me a helmet or two? I'd deeply appreciate it! And may the Force be with you!
