The villains have incapacitated Martian Manhunter Meanwhile Batman and Robin have finished putting together their spaceship. Time to head out and help out. Joker of course anticipated Batman making it to space and has a game planned for him.

Walkthrough: Lego Batman 3 - Part 6



Since Batman and Robin can't get beamed up to the Justice League Tower they continue to work on getting their spaceship ready to outer space. After adding a cockpit they now need to fuel the ship. We make our way through the Batcave finding more suits and continuing to build the shuttle.

Walkthrough: Lego Batman 3 - Part 5



Lex Luthor, Joker, and a group of other villains sneak into the Justice League building. Meanwhile Batman warns Martian Manhunter and Green Lantern at the Watchtower about Braniac and his mind control. What could Joker and Lex be up to, and are they connected to Braniac?

Walkthrough: Lego Batman 3 - Part 4



Batman goes deeper into the Batcave and gets a hold of the Batmobile. Now he's really causing damage! Robin and Alfred must go through the other Bat vehicles to try to snap him out of it. Will they break the hypnotic spell before the entire cave is destroyed?

Walkthrough: Lego Batman 3 - Part 3



We go back to outer space where Braniac is capturing the different Lanterns and putting them under his spell. He's only missing one more, Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern. Meanwhile back in the Batcave, Batman takes a look at the sky and sees Braniac's ship. Braniac sends his hypnosis message through the telescope and now Batman is under his spell. It's up to Robin and Alfred to snap him out of it!

Walkthrough: Lego Batman 3 - Part 2



As we continue our search through the sewers, we finally catch up to Killer Croc. Just when it looks like we've got him, he manages to escape and meet up with some of the other villains leaving Robin just happy to be alive.

Walkthrough: Lego Batman 3 - Part 1



In this 1st video, Braniac takes the 6 Lanterns. Meanwhile, Batman and Robin are in the sewers of Gotham trying to track Killer Croc.

Walkthrough: The Last of Us - Part 51



We've reached the Fireflies' last stand against the one man army of Joel. After getting through them, Joel makes his way to surgery where he sees Ellie laying on the hospital bed ready to be cut open. Does he make it in time and what will he do once it's all over?

Walkthrough: The Last of Us - Part 50



We've made it through the 1st round of Fireflies. We move onto the next floor of the hospital and do some exploration. We continue to stock up, but for what? Why do we need so much ammo and equipment?

Walkthrough: The Last of Us - Part 49



We've found the Fireflies (or they found us). This was what we were looking for all along, until we find out that the only way to create a vaccine is to extract what's keeping Ellie from turning out of her body. This will leave her defenseless to the infection though and will kill her. Joel's not having that and he's back to looking for Ellie. To get to her though he'll have to get through all of the Fireflies.

Walkthrough: The Last of Us - Part 48



We have gotten past the bloaters choosing the run to fight another day method rather than try to face them. Now as we make our way out of the highway we get to an area that's a bit more flooded. We need to watch our step as some parts have fast moving water that looks like it might be more appropriate for white water rafting!

Walkthrough: The Last of Us - Part 47



We've made our way down the highway where we've encountered quite a few of the undead. We have to decide which ones we should take out and which ones it might be better to just avoid and get past them. As we look around though, they are everywhere. Will we even be able to get past them?

Walkthrough: The Last of Us - Part 46



After the parade of giraffes, we make our way down to an abandoned camp. We do some walking around collecting more gear. We are able to stock up quite a bit, but usually that much inventory means we are headed for trouble. After walking around the camp, we make our way down through one of the highways.

Walkthrough: The Last of Us - Part 45



Ellie is able to escape but the damage might have already been done. We cut to Joel and Ellie's arrival at Salt Lake City. They get off the highway and start doing some exploring. Ellie has been rather quiet but they are in for a big surprise.

Walkthrough: The Last of Us - Part 44



The back and forth between Ellie's journey and Joel's continues. Joel has now hit the blizzard that Ellie is in, so he's getting close. He better hurry through. Ellie is trapped in some restaurant with her earlier ally hunting her.

Walkthrough: The Last of Us - Part 43



We go through a little back and forth here following Ellie's story and Joel's story. Joel finally wakes up and sees that Ellie is not there. He goes out looking for her taking no prisoners...well maybe a few. Ellie meanwhile makes an escape attempt and jumps out into a blizzard. If the other group doesn't get her, the cold might.

The Price of Your Gaming Pa$$ion!



How much is your Gaming Pa$$ion worth?


It's been nearly Two years since the Xbox One and PS4 were release to the public.  I remember having to figure out how I was going to purchase my Xbox One and figure out how it was going to fit into my budget. Like many people out there purchasing a game console although pretty high in want list isn't a must have it's not a necessity.  So I have concerns being a PC and Console gamer when I see that less than 2 years out from release these consoles are dropping in price.

  First there was the Xbox One with the no Kinect option.  Something most gamers asked for at launch, purchasing this option makes the Xbox an affordable $349.99.  Way better than the $499.99 original price tag for a device that although I love and adore. Is made with obsolete tech and a reduced game experience.  But all in all I purchased one and because of my friends makes it worth it. The ability to walk into my house and say "Xbox Turn on." then be satisfied that my TV, Receiver and Xbox all turn on before I even put my suitcases down makes it more so.  Whether you're buying the Xbox One for a entertainment system or not is on you but to get your money's worth, you have to use all the features.  Needless to say for $349.99 the Xbox One is worth that price, for                                                           nearly anyone if the option is presented at launch.
   
  Now, we move onto the PlayStation 4, which I admittedly don't own but would like to own.  My priority with buying a next generation console was the Xbox One because of the Entertainment System feature more so than gaming ability.  The PlayStation 4 has a superior gaming experience but again I use a PC for a even more superior Gaming experience.  So, now I'm at the point I want one for a complete gaming experience with all the exclusives that come with a PlayStation 4.    Recently PlayStation announced the price will be dropping to $290 in Japan.  Since America usually follows suit this actually made me rejoice and get angry at the same time.  I mean when it was released to consumers, we were looking at a hefty price tag of $599.99! But people still felt the need to spend that much on something that is also not future proof.  But apparently it must print money....at least for Sony it does.



  Then there's Nintendo.  I love them, between Nintendo and Atari there is a tiny place in my heart that will always love them.  What I haven't loved in the last decade or more is their systems.  Stop the gimmicks and go back to your roots.  We loved the simplicity of the systems and gameplay of your material from earlier success. Nintendo historically has been a giant in the hardware and software side, until next gen. But they seem to struggle when trying to keep up with Microsoft and Sony.  Ok Nintendo, Seriously your corporate campus is within the confines of "part" of Microsoft's campus. Part because their campus is the size of the town or small city and Sony is just as big. It's time you learn  your roll and make things you can support at a price that will encourage you core loyal fans to purchase them, for the content not the gimmicks you offer.  In terms of pricing you drop you prices almost as fast as Ron Jeremy's prom date did in high school.

   Here's what makes me go bonkers! Disclaimer: Rant En route and imminent.  What the literal Fuck!?  Hey !Game companies instead of price gouging the consumer that keep your business alive throughout the decade, wouldn't it make more sense to make these systems not only more solid, less defective and more less pricey from launch?  It's not like you haven't had a decade to make and design these machines.  For Pete's sake, I can build a PC for $400 bucks myself that will not only produce a more powerful gaming experience but also the Entertainment experience you offer in one box.  Console Gamers get so frustrated when PC Gamers start being elitists and talk about how wonderful it is to be a PC gamer.  Seriously? Suck it up gamers, they have every reason to be proud of the fiscally responsible decision they chose rather than Console Gamers. There PC can be Fun, Entertaining and productive. True each platform has their own benefits, as it should be.  My beef isn't with Console gamers or PC gamers fighting or who and what is better.  My beef is with the game companies.  You fuckers think it's ok to rape our pockets and then slap us in the face with our own dicks or titties when you reduce the price tag to keep you ship from sinking once you've paid off your debt from making your ill begotten sons of systems. You want the return immediately for something that is overpriced, under spec'd and under designed.  It's bullshit! It's crap business and at some point the consumers will wake up stop feeding your greed.  Because a large group and ever growing group of PC Gamers have taken their actual destiny into their own hands. ┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐End of Rant. :)


Now excuse me while I go save the galaxy in Destiny on Xbox One…..Don't judge me.


Thanks for reading! Later Bitches!
