Metallman Update: Events, Games, GenCon, and More

Hey there.  It's been awhile since I last had a post.  I'm sorry, guys.  I haven't really been feeling well and I couldn't muster the energy to sit and write.  No worries though! I'm back and at full strength and wanted to give you guys a heads up on what's to come.  A few game reviews are coming, in written and podcast form, a few events that I'll be covering, and I received a press pass for a gaming convention!  How awesome is that?!  Ok... so let's get into the details.  Something tells me this is going to be a lengthy post!

Catch The Bible Miniseries on The History Channel

Hey there.  Did you guys catch the series premier of The Bible on The History Channel?  No?  You guys missed out!  Before I get into The Bible miniseries, I want to let you guys know how much I love The History Channel.  The deal with history is that it's already done.  You can't change it, you can only tell the story.  The History Channel has not only found a way to tell those stories in innovative, thought provoking, or simply in an entertaining fashion, but they have been able to take well known events and create shows that are simply awesome.  That's where The Bible miniseries falls in.  The History Channel debuted the 10 part miniseries on March 3, 2013 at 8PM and each part will retell one of the many stories that are in the bible.

Get a Life Ep. 10 - The One About the PS4

Hey there.  I know... I know... we took almost 2 weeks to record a new episode but don't worry guys, we're back!  So, are you ready for another episode of the Get a Life Podcast?  Awesome!  In this episode we discuss Sony's announcement of the PS4 and what we know of the PS4.  I'm sure that the gaming community is well aware of the PS4 announcement that took place on Feb. 20th. 2013, but we'll give our two cents into what features are promising and which are a bit curious.  If you would like to check out some more details on the PS4 from Sony themselves, check out the PS4 webpage.

Now, the Get a Life Podcast Ep 10 (wow... 10 already?!?!) - The One About the PS4!!!!  Enjoy!

What I'm Playing... Mighty Switch Force

Hey there.  So what has Metallman's thumbs and fingers busy these past few weeks?  Mighty Switch Force by WayForward Technologies for the Nintendo 3DS!  Our good friends at Nintendo provided me with a copy of this great action/puzzle game I haven't been able to put it down.  From what I have been told, there are other Switch Force games out there but this is my first time playing any game in the series and I would like to think that it's one of the best.  So let's take a look at the game, Mighty Switch Force.

Animaniacs Were One of My Favorites

You guys remember Animaniacs?  Of course you do!  You're awesome, that's why!  I remember watching this everyday after school and it was one funny cartoon.  I recently found out that they are showing reruns on cable TV.  Boomerang?  Nick Toons?  The Hub?  I don't know which one but they are there!  Anyways, I saw this funny comic from Dot and I just had to share.  Later!
