It’s not often that something comes along and completely blows me off my feet in the way of PC games. Dungeon Defenders did just that. It’s a combination of tower defense, shooter, and role-playing game. Allow me to explain for those of you who aren’t hip enough to know the lingo.
Call me old, but I really don’t understand why someone felt the need to reboot this awful show. I was around when it aired on MTV and even back then when I was easily swayed by peer pressure I wanted nothing to do with it. Let’s take a look at what supposedly passes as humor shall we?
“Ahhhhhh! Snake!”
If you are hearing this being yelled in your home, chances are one of two things is happening. Either you or a family member just soiled their pants, or Billy The Exterminator is on your television set.
Finally, we get to cover the last chess piece in this ongoing chess tutorial, the Pawn.
“Wearing a red shirt” is a phrase you’ve probably heard time and time again but never understood the reference. Had you been watching Star Trek like good little boys and girls I wouldn’t have to create this article, but as it stands, you need my help badly.
At the request of one of my awesome readers, I’m going to revisit this in an effort to further make my point.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and acid reflux are often used together, but are two totally different things. If you’ve ever woken up in the middle of the night gasping for air because of an obstruction in your airway due to a thick liquid like substance sitting there, followed by a lot of coughing, burning in your throat, and sometimes vomiting, then congratulations, you’ve just undergone a severe form of acid reflux. Harvey, tell the good reader what they’ve won!
Fianchetto or Cappuccino? Decisions…Decisions…
Sorry, this isn’t a Pat Benatar tribute, rather a corny way to introduce my next blog topic. I hear this question every year…”Are you getting your flu shot?” To dodge the question I usually reply with a conspiracy theory that makes people slowly edge in the other direction, wishing they hadn’t asked in the first place.
“Squire! Fetch Me My Hello Kitty Underpants!”
As I’ve ranted on about before, it’s not called a castle. It’s not called a tower. It’s not the satan spawn of the Ivory Tower and the Rockbiter from the Neverending Story. It’s called a rook.
Let’s face it, today’s economy sucks. The average person works two jobs just to make ends meet. Those fortunate enough to have a decent to well-paying job are just above the bracket to qualify for assistance in paying medical bills that need to be pushed aside due to the mortgage. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, while those receiving welfare checks because they don’t feel like working ride around in their plush luxury cars. If you ever follow the news, you’ve probably noticed the price of just about everything going up, including bank fees.
People often make the comment that other people are a lot more rude nowadays compared to when say, humans were inventing fire, the wheel, and hot pockets. Is it true? Possibly…then again we didn’t have cell phones and other technology that have spoiled us into a life of convenience hundreds of years ago.
Interactive gaming has taken great strides since the 80′s. Back then, you duct taped sensors to your television and hoped the contraption you’re strapping to your body works. If you’ve ever owned the Power Glove, you’ll know what I’m talking about.
“Bones…have you ever heard of the Doomsday Machine?”
“No, I’m a Doctor, not a mechanic.”
