#GamerGirl: The adventures of @MeowMistiDawn

<editorsnote> Nerds, meet my buddy Misti. She and I met on the twitter over a year ago and she is without a doubt one of the MOST down to earth people you will ever meet. For reals, she's not only exceptionally beautiful on the outside, but on the inside as well. Either way, she has a rather adventurous life that she is here to share with you all ...  I only have one thing left to say ... HIT IT MISTI!!! </editorsnote>

Hey. Wow. It’s been... a while to say the least. Months. A lot has happened, and I realized I have been awful about blogging. Here and my own site. Since my marriage ended and changing careers I just felt like I didn’t want to share my every thought, heartache, and happiness with the world. I needed time to reflect and getting things going. Basically enjoy my life for just me for a bit. Hence the silence on the radar from anything more than tweets and a few stray vlogs. I guess I’m ready to talk again? I don’t know, I suppose I just feels right now. I wanted to blog but I just never felt I had anything to say even though so much as happen. It just didn’t click. Well I guess it clicked.

I’ve been working on a lot of projects. Finished up my real resume, applied to some things in gaming. working on a Skyrim mod show with Machinima, doing event planning and social media things for several companies. All things I’m very excited about. I have a big E3 party the 6^th &7^th I helped arrange. And I got my very first E3 badge with me name on it (it’s my 3rd year but I’ve always badge swapped) I actually go one through work. I feel like a big girl now. I’ve gone to visit my friends and family a couple times for long periods to get my priorities straightened out and be with my loving family (that includes you Amber!) 

I guess I won’t ramble too much in this one, I could go forever. I hope you all had a good Memorial Day weekend and stayed safe! <3 Welcome to the nerdiest girl in... MY life.

#NerdsUnite: Mortal Kombat Preview

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's Violent Gamer

The Mortal Kombat series has seen its ups and downs.  When the original Mortal Kombat debut onto consoles in 1992, it was welcomed with a world wide fan base and a lot of controversy.  Kids were playing Super Nintendo, pulling heads off and ripping hearts out, and parents were shocked they just bought the most bloody and gruesome game to ever hit consoles for their grade school child.  But what caused much controversy also sparked a revolution in game development, game ratings, and the potential for bringing video games to the silver screen.  After many hit or miss sequels and horrible spin offs, developers at NeatherRealm Studios took Mortal Kombat back to its roots.

So what's new? Well it's not what is new about the game, it's what will be returning to the game.  For starters Mortal Kombats engine will be on a 2D plain and reintroduce players to the gruesome Fatalities that made the franchise stand out from other fighters.  Some of the new additions include bone crunching X-ray attacks that slow down the fight and will give you a look at internal damage done to your opponent.  It will also feature classic stages, with stage Fatalities that will have long time players remember the first time they were knocked into a spike pit.

Lets talk about the roster a little bit.  As Mortal Kombat games have expanded, so has the roster.  Though a full roster has not been released yet, we can expect many of the fighters from Mortal Kombat 1-3.  Here is a short list of characters you can expect to see.

• Sub-Zero
• Scorpion
• Nightwolf
• Mileena 
• Katana
• Sonya
• Raiden
• Reptile
• Kung Lao
• Striker
• Johnny Cage
• Shao Kahn
• Liu Kang

The new Mortal Kombat will also feature mini-games such as "Test Your Might", "Test Your Sight" and "Test Your Luck" along with a new Challenge Tower that will put gamers through a rigorous 300 challenge event.  Local and online multilayer will also be available to take your kombat skills to the rest of the community. 

Mortal Kombat is due to release on April 19, 2011.  For now you can download the demo on the Playstation Network.
