#Review: Menage a 3 Webcomic

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @ashleighmayes

 

 

http://www.menagea3.net

 

 It’s geeks. It’s sex. It’s a lot of boob shots. It’s one guy and two girls. It’s Menage a 3, a webcomic. Gary, the main character and twenty nine year old virgin, walks in one day to find his two male roommates having sex (yes…it shows it…). They tell him that they’re in love and they’ve been gay for a few months. Then, they reveal to him that his drawing table very obviously couldn’t support two men, and apologize (um…gross! Butt sweat on the place where you lay your art/face?!?). The two decide to move out but had posted an ad in the newspaper the week before. Within the half hour, Gary is interviewing potential new roommates. Enter Zii and DiDi. Zii is a cute, bisexual, punk rocker girl. DiDi is a totally clueless, blonde foreigner with GINORMOUS boobs. OF COURSE Gary is going to chose THEM as his new roommates. What straight guy wouldn’t? The webcomic follows the adventures, trials, and…sexy times(?) J of the group. Gary’s old roommates move out, but they have a way of finding their way back into Gary’s life at random times. This comic is SO sexually charged it’s not even funny. I’m convinced that it’d make a porn star blush. From Gary revealing that he’s a virgin to DiDi questioning her sexuality, you get EVERY aspect of sexually active life. There’s never a dull moment…I’ll give ‘em that!

 

So…there’s not really much more to say…

 

 

 

On to the reviews!

 

Creativity of Writing: 5/5 I have to admit…I’ve never seen anything quite like this. A comic about sex? Of course the majority of comic book nerds are going to love it! It’s not really my type of comic, but hey…I’m not going to knock it!  I think the age group that the comic follows and targets is appropriate for the content. It’s different!

 

Creativity of Art: 3/5 I’ve heard it described as a spin off of the Archie Comics style. It DOES remind me of that, but more modern. Solid blacks, fine line details…I like it. HOWEVER, it’s just not something that I find incredibly amazing. It’s good, don’t get me wrong! I just feel like I’ve seen it before…a lot.

 

Overall Casual Read Rating: 5/5 It’s seriously entertaining…You’re not going to find anything like this anywhere else. It’s worth your time if you’re into sex, lesbians, gay guys, and young adult life.

#Videogame #Trailers: #Bioshock Infinite

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @maniacalmorgan

 

 

 

 

Talk about a franchise that is really pushing the envelope. The original Bioshock title won more awards than you could shake a stick at (PC Game of the Year, Best Artistic Design, Best Use of Sound, Best Single-Player Shooter, and the list goes on). Bioshock 2 released and topped the charts for sales across all platforms. So, yes. This is an amazing franchise. 

 

Following in the steps of the previous titles, Bioshock Infinite looks absolutely amazing. The plot and setting has changed, making this neither a sequel or prequel to either of the other Bioshock titles. The game takes place in a collapsing air-city called Colombia in 1912.  You, and ex Pinkerton agent, are trying to rescue a woman trapped in the doomed city. Check out the cinematic trailer for this newest addition to 2k's Bioshock franchise.

 

 

This game is still a ways off. It is set to release sometime in 2012. I just hope I get to play it before the end of the world.

#Videogame #Trailers: #Portal2

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @maniacalmorgan

 

 

 

 

For those of you that don't know, Portal is an amazing game! You play as Chell, who is trying to find your way through and survive puzzles overlooked by Aperture Science's GLaDOS (Genetic Lifeform and Disk Operating System). You are given a gun that can shoot portals to help you through these puzzles. Although the original Portal is relatively short, it is an amazing game! If you are interested in playing it, you can buy it from Steam.

 

What should we expect in Portal 2? How about more levels, more characters, more excitement, more variables.... and .... wait for it... CO-OP! That's right, Valve boasts a co-op campaign that is just as long as the single player campaign. Freaking sweeeeet! Check out this game play trailer for Portal 2.

 

 

And just for shits and giggles, here is the cinematic trailer...

 

 

 

 

Omg! I'm sooooo excited to play this awesome game. You can bet my ass is going to be playing it when it launches on February 9, 2011.

#Videogame #Trailers: #StreetFighter x Tekken, #MvC3

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @maniacalmorgan

 

 

 

 

GUYS! I just found these trailers and they look awesome! First one is for Street Fighter x Tekken. I don't know how many Tekken fans there are out there, but those games were kinda bad. Sorry, but it's true! Compared to SF, they were trash! Now, imagine bringing in Tekken characters to Street Fighters game engine? It would probably look something like this.

 

 

Little back story on me. I used to be an arcade rat. I would spend hours and hours in the arcade playing Dance Dance Revolution. When I wasn't playing DDR, I would be playing Marvel vs. Capcom 2. Such a great fighting game! It was relatively simple, but tons of fun! As some of you are already aware, Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is right around the corner! It looks fantastic with new characters and beefed up graphics. MvC3 will be out before Summer of 2011. I'm getting excited thinking about it (in more ways than one). Check out this video!

 

 

There are some awesome games coming out here in the near future. Keep your eyes out for more trailers!

Please RT: Dear nerds, Sam needs a home

Nerds, meet Sam ...

 

 

He is the mutt on the right

 

Sam is a very special dog to me.

 

Gather round, let me tell you a little story ...

 

I was driving to work one day, and I happened to see this little goober by the side of the road about to wander onto the 5 freeway. Yeah, crazy. Even crazier was that I got out of my car and he approached me and kissed my foot. I then proceeded to pick all 70 lbs of him up and place him in my car. I asked a guy watering his lawn if he belonged to anyone first, of course, as the last thing I would want to do is steal someone's Kwanzaa gift. The duderino told me that LA shelters often drop dogs off in that part of town hoping that they would wander into traffic to get hit - and then they don't have to worry about putting them down. Totally messed up ... but either way, I rescued Sam - LITERALLY ... and then made plans to take him to a vet and have the vet find him a good home. The guy I was dating/ living with at the time however, fell in love and kept him all these years. That dude now has a baby, wifey, and many doggies all on his own ... leaving Sam in need of a home. I kid you not when I say I adore this dog. He is super sweet, just needs a yard and a lot of love. If you live in LA, and are looking for a pup, please please please please please think about Sam. Seriously, I will never forget picking him up and then driving him to the vet and just having him kiss my hand for the next hour as I sat in LA traffic ... he just knew he was saved ... and seeing something happen to this dog will just break my nerdy little heart. So there you go ... I get the whole buddhist thing of "rescuing someone means you carry them on your back" or whatever, thing - because I do feel personally responsible for whatever happens to this dog. Either way, if you're interested please hit up this nerderino.

 

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
