The belated review of Halo 4

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.

...James Bond has returned

Yes, after 2 and a half years of filming, the next installment of James Bond is here! It actually releases November 9th but you know they've already completed it and is locked away, teasing us insane fans with "Teaser Trailers". This will be the 23rd film in the series and Daniel Craig's 3rd outing as the most well known spy on the planet, 007. Dame Judi Dench has returned, of course, to play head of Mi6, M. The main title theme has been rumored to be written and performed by Adele. There are 2 lovely ladies rumored to be new Bond girls; Berenice Marlohe and Naomie Harris. Two amazing actors; Ralph Fiennes and Javier Bardem are rumored to play villains. I promise I will confirm these rumors as soon as I know more.

Amazing Nerdity Around The Web

Lego Wigs:

That's right I said it, Lego Wigs. I don't know about you guys, but Lego's remain a favorite of mine. I may or may not have Hogwarts in Lego's on my end table. Enjoy!

Batman Beard:

Two words...Frakking Sweet

Hermoine casts a give Ron a Boner Spell:

Emma Watson, Hermoine Granger, is filming a new movie and her apparel is...questionable. She is gorgeous but I feel like I baby-sat her when she was a wee thing due to being obsessed with Harry Potter. It's just...weird. Tramp-stamp is not real b.t.w!

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!

Nerds Around Town

It's refreshing to see some Nerds around Town. Take a look at the nerdy activity I have seen over the last couple days.

Richy and Hadley play Magic the Gathering at Subway after their meal. Props on still playing a dying artform!

My neice Lou shuns her ducks and bears for a certified Sith Lord helmet.

Creator of Nerdgasm got her picture snapped with the Bat.

And we caught The But13r sitting at H.Q. replaying Half-Life 2.

The White Whale Of Whitebeansoup

As a life long gamer I would have to say I've played thousands of games over the years; from Joust to Star Wars Kinect. I am proud to say any game I've sat down to play I have been able to beat...except for one. My white whale, my Moby Dick, happens to be a Super Nintendo Game that was released when I was only three years old.

Super Ghouls and Ghosts. I know it's not a particularly advanced game; there aren't hundreds of hours of gameplay or skills and perks to level up...but for me...this game is at the top of my "IF THERE IS A GOD IN HEAVEN LET ME BEAT THIS GAME!!!" list. I feel like for every gamer there will always be a game that is just unbeatable to them. This is mine. I have played this game for 19 years now and I still can't get past the ghost ship level! I've watched the Youtube videos on how to beat it, I've tried to just run through it, and I've tried to take my time but no matter what happens I still end up a pile of bones somewhere. If you've never played it before you should at least check it out. We here at Nerdgasm have a strong opinion that old school games were much much harder than the new age ones. The newer ones have cheats and tell you exactly how to beat it. The old ones leave you to figure it out. The Wii market place has this game to download and the Sleak Black Super Nintendo Retro is coming out soon so you should definitely try it out! Either way SG&G will always be one of the games I remember most. My Gannon, My Jack of Blades, my Arch Nemesis, my white whale.

Ten Things I Bet You Didn't Know About The Empire Strikes Back

Proves Everyone's First Drafts Are Usually Crap

10. Yoda’s name was originally going to be Buffy. No lie. Buffy or Bunden Debannen. Lucas said that Luke was going to meet a spiritual entity named Buffy and would become “the human Buffy” lol. In later drafts he thought of Yoda as a frog and picked out a full name. Minch Yoda.

9.Lucas considered having Luke’s face get injured. In 77 Luke’s actor Mark Hamill was injured in a car accident and had to have a facial reconstruction done. So up until filming he was going to have Luke’s face get damaged somehow and a droid was going to patch him up.

8.Luke’s journey to become a Jedi Knight was originally much bumpier. One idea that got tossed around a lot in the early stages of planning ESB was the notion that Luke’s light saber had a crystal hidden in the hilt, with secret encrypted information on it — including the coordinates of Minch Yoda’s planet. And Luke would have been “humiliated” when he couldn’t use the Force to stop an attack by a bunch of ice monsters on the rebels Hoth base. (With Han telling Luke, “You’re not a Jedi knight, and you never will be.”) Meanwhile, Darth Vader senses that Luke used the force to destroy the Death Star and there’s a new wannabe Jedi in town — so Vader uses telepathy to choke Luke in his spacecraft, nearly killing him — except that R2D2 jumps the ship into hyperspace and takes it to Yoda’s planet.

7. We would’ve visited more planets. In the early days Lucas had plans to visit a water planet with a city built underneath. A city planet was going to be visited as well where the entire planet was built over. At one point Lucas considered visiting the Wookie Home world and seeing a young Chewbacca.

6. Vader had a castle. It was going to be a fortress of evil with lava surrounding it and gargoyles as Vader’s pets….I’m being 100% serious right now.

5.Vader wasn’t Luke’s father at first. In Leigh Brackett’s first script draft, Luke meets his real dad, who says he sent away Luke and his secret sister for their own safety. (Luke’s sister has been training to be a Jedi knight in secret, just as Luke has.) And Papa Skywalker administers the oath of a Jedi Knight to Luke, in which Ben, Minch, Anakin and Luke cross lightsabers, and Luke swears to “dedicate my life to the cause of freedom and justice.”

4.The love triangle between Luke-Leia-Solo was a much bigger deal in the earlier scripts. It’s at the root of Luke’s struggles for self respect and his humiliations. When Darth Vader is trying to win Luke over to the Dark Side in the second draft, written by Lucas himself, Vader says, “You’re in love with Leia. You don’t want to lose her to Han Solo… But you will, if you lack the courage to use the strength that’s in you. A strength as great as mine, Luke.” And then at the end, Leia flat-out tells Luke that he’s not the one she loves, because she’s into Han. Also in this version, Han doesn’t get frozen in carbonite — instead, he just flies off to take care of business, leaving Luke and Leia watching the Millennium Falcon disappear.

3.They almost had a monkey in a mask to play Yoda. They thought of everything for certain creatures and beings. Yoda was a monkey in a mask, a midget, or even a child. For the Tauntauns they tried a human suit with what they called “hilarious if not film-worthy results.”

2.The Shining almost Axed The Empire. During the filming of Star Wars and The Shining there was a fire that burnt down Stage 3 where the Shining was being made. So Star Wars had to share their studio with them and it made space a real issue. Not to mention the fact that the Shining ran well over its schedule.

1. Miss Piggy had a cameo in the movie. When Mark Hamill first met Frank Oz, he asked him to do a brief Miss Piggy cameo during rehearsals on set, as a practical joke — but when the time came much later, it caught even Hamill off guard. During one scene, Yoda tells Luke to follow his feelings. Luke protests that he has followed his feelings — and suddenly, Frank Oz whips out a Miss Piggy puppet, saying “Feelings? You want feelings? Get behind the couch and I’ll show you feelings, punk. What is this hole? I’ve been booked into dumps before, but never like this. Get me my agent on the phone!”

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.

Those Damn Dolls Finally Come Into Play In Fable Heroes

Fable is awesome

...It needed saying immediately. We have played and demolished every job, house, and person in each fable game to date. When Lionhead Studios announced not only one but two new games and one for Kinect, were being released we definitely had to jump in on the action. We are still waiting for the release of Fable: The Journey for the Kinect which is being released in 2012, but we have demolished Fable Heroes.In Fable Heroes the little dolls you collected in Fable 2 for the achievement (you remember you had to go online and trade for the dolls to get it...grrrr*) are finally being used!! They do have a purpose, one that Lionhead pulled out of its ass probably but damn it's an amazingly adorable game. It's definitely fable but it has some parts reminiscent of Little Big Planet mainly because your a doll who can change it's expressions. It has a cute level-up area and you ride a map like Super Mario Brothers. The fact that it's co-op is amazing and the experience only got one complaint out of us here at Nerdgasm and it's a small one at that. Your characters do tend to get stuck on each other here and there and sometimes in dimly lit areas and camera changes you can lose your characters position momentarily...which is long enough for an Ice furie to spring up and take a heart. We don't want to give to much away...no spoilers for those who want to play it still...but we will sum it up for you. This game is worth the ten bucks you pay for it. It's cute enough for smaller kids but still fun for older fable vets. It's button mashing mixed with a few flourishes and special moves. We already told you the dislikes on it, and as you've noticed they are minimal. We give Lionhead an A freaking plus on this one. You guys are awesome and it's why we love you so.

The Top Ten Hottest SheNerds

When I lay my head down at night and begin to fall asleep I dream of several things on the regular. Halo, Ronan Dex giving me a massage, and hot ass SheNerds. So I have put together a list of the top ten nerds that haunt me in the very best ways at night.

Number ten is the ever sexy Felicia Day. The red hair, freckles, sometimes nervous and always geeky persona is something that makes me wish I could use her body as my own personal controller. Where you would know her from: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Dollhouse, The Guild, etc..

Number Nine is Amanda Tapping, the Queen of the Scyfy Channel. Sometimes she looks like your mom's hot friend who gets you wasted on tequila for the first time while others she looks like the smoking hot vixen who just popped a cap in some wraith ass. Where you know her from? SG1 (as well as appearences on Stargate Atlantis), Sanctuary, etc. Everytime I fantasize about Amanda Tapping she is a brunette dressed in leather who has every intension on taking complete advantage of MY stargate : )

Number Eight is going to be Morgan Webb the Goddess of Gaming. Not only is she smmmmoking hot ( I mean Dammmmmmn) but she could give me a run for my money at halo and that ladies and gentlemen...is a turn on. Smart, sexy, and a gamer? Marry me? Where you know her: X-Play on G4 T.V.

Number Seven is Jewell Staite. She looks like your best friends slightly older sister. However not only can she make a firefly class ship run while using her uber adorable hick accent, but she can also patch you up if you get fed on by a wraith. She is sexy in the way only few have mastered: The adorable undercover sexpot. Where you know her from: Firefly (Serenity movie as well), Stargate Atlantis, as well as appearences on other shows such as X-Files.

Number Six is Jolene Blalock. I first recognized her sexy vulcan body in Star Trek Enterprise. See people: Watching Star Trek pays off in the long run. I like her soooo much better with long hair, but the short suits her personality on the enterprise. Where you know her from: Star Trek Enterprise, Starship Troopers, and Jason and the Argonauts. All in all not only can Jolene Blalock take you down with a Vulcan Nerve Pinch but her body is killer too.

Number Five is Hannah Spearritt. Petite, platinum blonde with a delicious body, and she can save you from a primeval creature? Yum. As if that wasn't enough to throw into the bubbling pot of Sexy SheNerd but she has a british accent. She hasn't been in a whole lot but you may know her from Primeval, Seed of Chucky, or Secret Agent Cody Banks 2. She is punky , british, and nerdy. I love this girl.

Number Four is Elyse Levesque. This girl looks like the type of girl who would have snubbed you in front of your friends in high school then secretly hooked up with you at a party. She is haughty and looks like an ice queem, yet a SheNerd at heart. A challenge for the conquering. Where you may know her from: Stargate Universe, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and Smallville.

Number Three is Clare Grant. Seth Green...you are lucky Motherfucker. Not only is Clare Green a hardcore gamer(Look her up on Youtube as Team unicorn), but she is soo smoking hot! A sense of humor carries over in Robot Chicken and Team Unicorn videos as actual talent as an actress. Where you may know her from: Robot Chicken, Team Unicorn, or even walk the line. So clare and Seth, if your ever thinking of having a threesome...

Number Two is Grace Park. *Sigh* I really don't know what else I can say about Grace Park other than. *Sigh* She is so sexy. She has a sense of humor (She is the voice of Akiko in American Dad). She has played in most of the television series I have fallen in love with over time. You may know her from Bsg, Stargate SG1, The Outer Limits, Andromeda, CSI, and even Hawaii Five-O. Put your hands together for the epic and stunning Grace Park

We have finally arrived at Number One on the top ten sexiest SheNerds around and thus far I hope you have had to change your pants, lock your door for a little 'you' time, or at least bookmarked this entry to wank off to later. Now we find our number one.

SUMMER GLAU

She is sexy, composed, badass, and amazing. I don't think there is another woman alive who could match her. I love this girl and I my goal in life is to marry her and together we can have the first lesbian pregnancy. Here are a list of her roles over the years.
