I must admit that no one here at Nerdgasm ended up standing in line at midnight amongst the throngs of people waiting for a chance to get our grubby little hands on the newest installment of the Halo franchise. However when Detenate, the But13r, and myself (whitebeansoup) did end up playing it the very next afternoon. I have loved Halo since it's birth; breathed it's alien airs, been splattered by covenant and flood blood alike, we have cheered the victories, and cursed the losses...but my first shot at Halo 4 was disappointing. I was not pleased with multi-player. It was my only issue. I hated the way you unlocked perks, the grenade indicator, and the maps. That was until I spent another 16 hours on it. Then I realized what was wrong with Halo 4. It had been too long of a wait and I had become utterly and completely a Reach Girl. I knew the maps inside and out. I knew where I could hide, hold up, and snipe. I knew where the power weapons were. I was spoiled by my unlimited knowledge of Reach and everything it encompassed. I realized I had become a tainted gamer. Now that we are hundreds of hours deep in the game, we must say, HURRAY! You didn't fuck it up 343. In fact you did a marvelous job. If you haven't grabbed your copy of Halo 4 yet...you must do so quickly. We here at H.Q. are stuck to this game tighter than a plasma grenade on your helmet. The gameplay is breathtaking, the relationship between Chief and Cortana pulls at your heartstrings, and the story is exactly what we Halo fans needed, a next step.

A Little Gallery Of Eclipse
The first visible eclipse in North America in 18 years! You could see it best in the Western States but I figured a few great pictures of a wondrous sight would be nice. Check them out!
An Eclipse Ring, a Bird amongst the Sun and Moon, and a wedding during the Eclipse...oh my!

The Many Faces Of Dr. Who
Time Travel Can Be A Bitch On The Skin
I can’t say I have been a fan of Dr. Who since the beginning
of time, although I do find myself to be a rather intense fan. I started
watching the newer seasons when they started up on Scyfy. I had a busted T.V.
sensor with some sort of twisted parental lock on it…all I could get was Scyfy
and fox. So a marathon of the first season with Christopher Eccleston came on
and after that…I was hooked. Time travel? The tardis? Regeneration? Time lord?
Who was the face of Bo? What happens to Rose Tyler? There was so much I needed
to know, and over the years with countless movies, back-seasons, and fan-sites
I have learned an incredible amount. For instance; the scarf of the fourth
doctor was never supposed to be that long. When the cloth was given to the
costume designer she simply thought they wanted all of it used. As for the face
of Bo? It’s Captain Jack! What ever happened to my favorite British gal Rose
Tyler? Bad wolf Bay. She got sent to bad wolf bay with the human doctor
duplicate in an alternate reality in a heart wrenching episode…still one of my
favorites. Throw in the Ood, K9, Sarah Jane Smith, and the sonic screwdriver
and it makes for an amazing series. Over the years the faces have changed; take
a look:
William Hartnell was the first face of the doctor. So technically it
should have been as soon as he left Gallafray, after the time war. He was 55
when the actor started the show in 1963. It was poor quality, I mean it was the
60s, but what it lacked in that spot it made up for and more with originality
and heart.
Patrick Troughton started the show in 1966 when he was forty six. He was
such a severe looking man Patrick, but he was still incredibly loveable, almost
in the same way Christopher Eccleston was prickly yet loveable. After three
years on the show, regeneration time.
Jon Pertwee was by far, the sweetest doctor of all times. He started in
1970 when he was 50 although he looked older than that (And by time lord
standards he was so it was a good fit). This is when, for me, the show got so
much better. I loved Jon and I loved his antics and the way the show really got
insanely wonderful.
Tom Baker was the fourth doctor. Wiley and insane, yet like almost every
doctor he was loveable and a do right. He started at the age of forty in June
of 1974 and seven years later in March of 1981 at forty seven it was time for
him to regenerate.
The fifth Doctor; Peter Davison spent three years on the show and there is
only one word that could describe him and I think it really says it all:
Smoooooooooth.
Colin Baker was so weird. He was on the show from 1984 to 1986 and yes he
was thoughtful but that coat and tie and hair…it’s like a less funny, older, annoyingly
odd version of Seth Rogan. Love Doctor who…not a fan of Colin Baker.
Paul Mcgann was the eighth doctor and only lasted one season in 1996 but I
really loved him. He looks like Professor Snape, dresses like a British
Gentlemen, and has those steamy I could throw you up against a wall in the
Tardis eyes. Is that a sonic screwdriver in your pocket Paul or are you just
happy to see me?
Christopher Eccelston was the Ninth Doctor and actually the first Doctor
that I ever watched. He was prickly, eccentric, and charming. I love
Christopher Eccelston in most of what he has done, so the actor himself really
pulled me in. The other seasons were
good but the last three doctors have been so incredibly badass. He only lasted
one season as well but I will always love this regeneration of the Docotr.
David Tennant will always be my favorite doctor and the first face I see
when I talk about the Doctor. He played for four years and he was absolutely
amazing. Passionate, sexy, charming, and incredibly impressive, I love David
and he will always be a face in the forefront of my Nerdgasm.
Matt Smith is the current Doctor. I hated him when I first saw him, I must
admit I was also heartbroken over the loss of David, and therefore was being
biased and unfair. The more I watch him the more I admire the people who cast
him. He is so different from David and yet he has that Time Lord vibe that you
can’t deny. I’m excited to see where Matt Smith, the eleventh doctor, is going
to take us in the whole wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey time and space.

Get some Wookie for National Star Wars Day
Happy holidays everyone and May the Fourth be with you!
When we first heard about the Star Wars Holiday we were pumped. We all love the Star Wars Franchise and have watched each one of the movies over a hundred times between us. We all loved KOTOR as well as the other games and the new Star Wars game for Kinect always leads to an epic good time. Fan Art, Games, hobby/crafts, and spin-off books and shows have always been a treat to enjoy, so we can understand why all of the Nerds have come together to create their own holiday. We all still dream of Princess Leia, call our hairy friends wookies, and pretend almost any stick-like object we hold is a lightsaber. It's in the Nerd's blood stream to enjoy all things Star Wars (even if there is some unrest between us all over certain aspects of certain movies). Lucasfilms doesn't endorse the holiday and I'm sure by now George Lucas is sick to death of hearing May the Fourth be with you but he is just going to have to deal because we will never stop being fans.
So the question stands on May the fourth of 2012...how are you going to celebrate? Here at Nerdgasm we are all sitting down to a movie marathon and some Kinect Star Wars. We hope that you can find a fitting way to celebrate as well; be it dressing up like Leia for your significant other, doing some saber dueling in the back yard or even just watching the movies. Star Wars is an epic and undying breed of a franchise and deserves it's dues today.
