Your Brain on Video Games! From Discovery Channel

Fallout and Delicious Mead
Hey everyone, as you know my friends and I went to the ren fair yesterday. We have returned victorious, with nothing but minor scratches and a slight hangover.
Boobies and Mead
But, funny story... My friend and I were going to pick up some mead from the tavern area, and he offered to go in for me so I could smoke a cigarette. So there I wait outside, puffing happily on my cigarette. Then to my great dismay, I was approached by a middle aged woman dressed like a bar wench and her husband I assume, dressed like Robin hood. I didn't think much of...

Renaissance Fair and Leftover Green Beer
Teh Fair
Hey everyone! Tis Saturday, and your's truly is going to ye old renaissance fair. Bar wenches and archery ranges, costumes and the smell of pipe tobacco. I love it! If it weren't for my love of computers, I would have loved living a couple hundred years ago. Legally carrying a sword, and not worrying about making it as a successful computer scientist.
But wishful thinking is a waste of valuable time! I must find something to...

Skyrim for Realz & Nerdy Nummies Pizza!
Oh happy day! The government cheese is a comin' today! I can finally afford to get that new brain I wanted!
I am to cheap for overnight shipping, so while I wait for my black market meat CPU, let's see what your nerd brethren are up to.
A group of guys have made Skyrim into a slightly buggy virtual reality game! All bugginess aside, they did a great job, and my dream of playing '.Hack' style will be coming true very soon.
But these guys...

New Consoles Old Techonolgy!
I was browsing around on the internets today, and I saw some very upsetting news. The next set of consoles to come out will only support Unreal Engine 3! Why would they even bother? Why not wait till they release Unreal Engine 4 in a couple months?
Doing this would open up the market for much better looking and cross platform games! Not that I have any problem with #3, but it is just kind of a waste. Now we get to wait another 6 years till Unreal 4 is seen in our console games.
If you haven't heard, Unreal 4 is also capable of developing...

Hey everyone, so very busy today so the post will be short!
I had the honor of meeting the owner of Oh My Posh Tot! Boutique recently, and she was nice enough to make me an awesome outfit to wear today!
So thanks to her, I will be able to drink my green beer like a true Irishman, bearing all green clothes. I kind of look like the Green Lantern middle management edition!
But you should all check out her Facebook page, she normally sells toddler clothes, but she takes custom orders and I am sure if you are nice, she will make whatever you...

A Journey Into the World of Feeble's Fable
Morning nerds, hopefully you all are in less pain than I am today. I decided to push myself a little harder than normal in my run yesterday, and my muscles are very irate about it. To top it all all, I fell pretty hard on my skateboard last night and now my ass hurts.
But nothing could stop me from writing you guys some new content! Especially when it has me as excited as it does today!
Why am I excited? I shall tell you why after I get some coffee....

Editing Our Blogger Template & Free Shit!
Sorry for the lack of posts in the past couple days, we have been working tirelessly on our new template. Not really, but we have been super busy. Between working on our new game, going through school, and trying to update Life of Ramen, we are dying to catch our breath. But none of that matters, because progress is more important than sleep. And in the name of progress, I would like to show you our new banner! It's waaaay up there at the top, but it has image mapping so you can click the social buttons on the bottom. That was a fun trick to learn.

AniMonday: Xam'd Anime Cartoon Review
Welcome to our first AniMonday at Life of Ramen! Every Monday my team and I will show you an anime that we think you need to see. These might come from our own collection, or the comments of our viewers. But today's anime came from one of our dedicated viewers. He insisted that we had to watch this show, so to the Hulu's we went. When we found Xam'd, our minds were blown.
Xam'd is probably one of the best anime series we have ever seen....

Kadajett I am, and Play Free Nerdcore Rap I Will
Hello everyone! I have an interesting story to tell you! I am currently visiting my best friends parents with him, and we all really like board games. So they brought out this silly one called Quelf. Quelf is a game where you have to move around this circle and draw cards based on the color you land on. If you land on blue, you have to take a rule card. I did this on a few occasions, but one in particular made the game very hard. For the entire game I had to speak in third person. (Kadajett had to speak in third person..) Every time I said...

But in honor of this great day, this blog post is all about how awesome females are, in real life and in comic books.
We are going to start by saying that even Google recognizes...

Super Hero Movies & Deathly Impatience
It is a very gloomy day here in Florida. There are no birds chirping, and the clouds are just bursting at the seams. And as I started my normal morning skateboarding session(decent cardio), I realized that I was a very sad nerd. So wallowing in my sadness, I continued to skate as fast and hard as I could, till I was out of breath, then I went inside. Of course, straight to the computer, I went. And the second I opened up You Tube, I realized why...

Two is Better Than One! ;)
Everyone plays video games alone. It is inevitable due to it's nature, but every once in a while, you just need to bro out! Get some pizza and some beer and find a game to play in Co-Op mode. Speaking of Co-Op, I have a new game to show you!
Co-Op is a two player shooter game, without shooting. A laser type of connection between your friends ship and yours is generated and you have to rack up as many points catching people in that laser as you...
Stan Lee Strikes Out!
Just about everyone has either read or seen Romeo & Juliet in some way. Whether is was in book form, or it was the version with Leonardo DiCaprio and lots of guns, we have all been bludgeoned with the tale of two fate struck lovers.
And purely for the fact that I like to hear myself talk(type?) I am going to explain this a little. The setting is always Verona, and there are two feuding families: the Montagues and the Capulets....

13 Legends - Graphic Novel
Hey everyone, spring draws near and the birds are chirping. Everywhere but Florida I mean, because when summer comes around the chirping birds will turn into fried chicken. But there is no better way to cool down than to read a new graphic novel in a nice air conditioned room.
If you agree with me, then I have the perfect new book for you! 13 legends is based in an alternate universe where Leonardo Davinci's design notebook fell into the...

Elysian Shadows Game Development
Good morning everyone, it is supposed to be a lovely day today, which probably means it is going to rain one minute and be like a sauna the next. The latter is quite undesirable considering my major wine experience last night. It is not agreeing with my stomach this morning. But what settles my tummy more than Pepto, or crackers is none other than watching a couple YouTube episodes of the Adventure in Game Development Series, or later called...
