Do you know what the worst thing in the world is? It’s not cancer, or even My Little Pony (although that’s close). It’s Creepers. Mother fucking Creepers.

Those giant green cocks will sneak up on you when you least expect it and then ruin everything! All that gold you mined? Gone! All of those melon seeds you found in a cave deep under ground? Kaput! That diamond pickaxe you managed to craft? Blown to shit! And, of course, it always happens when you’re in an area you can never find again.

For a long time now, Minecraft fans have had to suffer in silence, unable to correctly convey the anguish and hatred that Creepers cause. Until now, that is.

It’s November and that means there are a ton of awesome games coming out. Modern Warfare 3 and Uncharted 3 just came out recently and people love those games (and for good reason). But tonight at midnight a game is coming out that people absolutely love. A game people are going to be spending months upon months (maybe even years) playing. Ladies and gentlemen, the game I am talking about is … SKYRIM!!! Continue reading »

Earlier today, Rockstar Games released the trailer for the latest installment in its Grand Theft Auto series, and even though I’m not much of a video game fan, I squee’d a little. For me, a huge part of the fun to be had playing GTA games comes from exploring the incredibly detailed sandboxes they encompass, wreaking havoc. Sure, I’ll do the missions, but sometimes, you just feel like stealing an ambulance and running a police blockade, you know what I mean? Plus, there’s always plenty of little Easter eggs to find, if you’ve got time between shootouts with the FBI. Grand Theft Auto V, it seems, will take the series back to the West-Coast-inspired San Andreas area, where there’s limitless amounts of criminal merriment to be made among the palm fronds. The Los Santos locale looks beautiful, and I can’t wait to turn my sociopathic digital persona loose within it.

I don’t know about you folks, but I’m still coming down from my post-NYCC high. And going over it all again for the last episode certainly didn’t help things.

Luckily, I found this short video to take my mind off of not being in the Javits Center anymore. What happens when you combine Minecraft and Battlefield 3? Find out after the jump.

On Oct. 13 to 16, The Rag-NERD-rok crew attended New York Comic Con, the convention where dreams and nightmares come true in equal measure. In this episode, we’ll give you the rundown of our experiences at the con, including tales of how we met the stars (and were shot down), the panels we attended, and the unimaginably long lines we waited on. Later, we’ll give our reviews of this year’s NYCC, and Erik presents a segment of interviews he conducted with cosplayers at the Javits Center. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and pack your own food, because Comic Con is happening again on this week’s episode of Rag-NERD-rok!
