I am Loving Starfield   



       I am Loving Starfield    

First and foremost let's be clear, this isn't a review. This is me, little ole Nerdattude. Trying to figure out why, despite the technical bugs, the questionable design decisions, and the straight-up tone-deaf development team comments, I still love Starfield.

The truth is I am loving my time with Starfield. The game is full of things to do and has become one of the first games in a while to completely capture my attention. Would I say Starfield is revolutionary? No. Do comments from the Dev team stating "We could have produced a bug-free game" piss me off? Affirmative. Even with the surrounding hate and yes, justified criticisms, I am nevertheless enjoying my time with Starfield.

Do you want to be a pirate thief lord who answers to no man and takes whatever they please? Maybe you're more of the good guy hero who takes on the entire universe's plight on their shoulders. Maybe you just want to zone out for a bit after work and explore planets and meet new creatures...and kill them... Starfield has a pay style for everyone as well as associated missions to appease every taste. I know six people playing Starfield. We all play the game differently. It undoubtedly is a title where you can make the most out of the game, or you can bitch about the option to choose your pronoun.

This variety of playstyle in my opinion is due to there being no handle holding. After you complete the first 5 or so main missions you're free to fuck off and make your own experience. Unusually few quests feel useless. You have unimportant quests like bounty hunting and your basic fetch quest. Some activities, however, can extend into an hour-long mission. There is a large amount of content especially if you're a completionist.

I am excited for the future of Starfield not for what the game presents as of now, but, for what the game can be. Just imagine the entire Star Wars Galaxy modded into the game. Do you want to fly around as Buzz Lightyear and fight Zuurg? The modders are on it. Suffer an issue with the game's UI? Modders got you covered. 

The future with Starfield can be magnificent and I for one am happy to continue venturing into the unknown. I'll check in from time to time and let you know how my experience is going.

Powerman 5000: Builder of the Future

  Powerman 5000 is one of those bands that really isn't that great.  Which don't get me wrong, I'm still a fan.  The problem is they really only have two listenable albums.  First is of course, "Tonight the Stars Revolt" which is their best. (if you'd like to see a review of that album let me know) Lastly their new album is their second best.  Here's the thing though.  I don't love this album, but I find myself throwing it on all the time.  Its a refreshing twist for them.  You get kind of the best of both worlds that is Powerman 5000.  You get this electronic robot sound, and you also get the crunchy guitars and the almost pop punky rhythms.   The album is much softer (less metalish) than "Tonight the Stars Revolt".  This however isn't a big deal.  So lets begin. The thing about this album is it starts with a bang.  With Invade, Destroy, Repeat, you get a heavy almost punkish vibe.  The gui...

Volbeat Seal the Deal

  I'm not going to write a huge review of this album.  Also, know that I was a huge Volbeat fan for a long time. With that said, this album is fucking terrible.  I thought this was going to happen to see as the last album was on the softer side but still had redeeming qualities.  This new album is a product of shit.  It is not heavy and when the thrash guitar starts it is on a higher chord and it is akin to 80s hair metal more than modern metal. This album is one pop/rock piece of shit after another.  His vocals are clean and whiny and frankly previewing the album hurt. A band I've enjoyed for so long making a fucking Fallout Boy album.  Ugh, what a disgrace.  This album appeals to women, not men.  It's soft and fragile like a painful shit you took an hour ago.  It just floats there among the wreckage wondering what it could have been.  I won't review each track because frankly, I don't want to listen to the album enough to ri...

Politics

So, I know this blog is centered around entertainment but the human nerd in me needs to speak.  My first question is when did Facebook become the almighty wizard of politics?  Why is it that some dumb article gets posted and then re posted and re posted and eaten up by these dumb fucking people who have no actual real opinion.  I hate that its acceptable to hate or love a political party because its popular.  Then when you call these people out they have nothing.  No actual reasoning for saying the shit they say, just because they can.   Facebook is trash, if yo get your news from Facebook go kill yourself, and enjoy your job at (insert fast food place here) .  I suppose at the core what im trying to say is open your eyes!  Stop being an idiot.  No matter what side you're on you're wrong.  Why do I say this?  Well, its become acceptable to chastise people for their beliefs.  You have no Idea how many dumb fucking people po...
