Drunk Gaming and Throwing Bows!


After a long week of drinking, arguing, and playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl,
my family is gone. Sadly, I will miss them, but I know I will see them again soon.

Hanging out with my brother has reminded me why I started playing video games. While video games can be a very rewarding personal experience, I feel that playing games with friends and
family can cause laughs and tears, and it makes the experience of playing
amplified.

Those close calls are so much more extreme, and getting demolished by the final boss
is that much more funny!

Adventures in Game Development Returns!

Hey everyone, posting while I am on vacation has proven to be rather hard. But I have returned with great news!

The Elysian Shadows dev team has released a trailer for their new set of videos. It gives a brief look into the life of the team and the troubles that they face. It looks fun, heart wrenching... And grown up. Which is weird, because the last time any of us watched their vlog, we were much younger.

But older is not worse, because the trailer looks amazing! So check it out, and support the team!

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 it, till I heard the words "Oh, you are cute!" My face instantly turned red...

The lady walked up to me and asked me, "Have you met these?" Pointing lustfully at her medieval breast, I reply with an awkward "Haven't had the pleasure." Almost to fast for me to react, she starts pulling me in for a 'hug,' or what I assume is a hug. I play along, because everyone likes hugs... Worst mistake of my life, because half way to the hug, she grabs the back of my head. With hardly enough time to catch my breath and close my eyes, my face was plunged into a pile of wrinkly, sweaty breasts. Me being the gentleman I am, I made a little motorboat sound to make her think I wasn't dying to jump in a pool of hand sanitizer.

Food!!!

Aside from the slight feeling of molestation, it totally set up the rest of the day. I became thoroughly drunk afterwards, shared a cigarette and some rum with Jack Sparrow, and got my fill of giant turkey legs. I wouldn't of had it any other way, and I will definitely be going next year. With a much higher amount of pocket money.

But for today, magic with my best friend for his birthday, and getting ready to fly up to Indiana for vacation.

Bye nerds!!!

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 were nice, they even made a tutorial to show you how to do it! So watch this video, go check the website and build it yourself. Then be the nerd I know you are and improve it!




Tutorial




Nerdy Nummies!


I don't even know what to say, I love pizza. This video touched me, it reminded me of my childhood! Hours and hours of eating pizza and playing Pokemon! Plus I know you all have a crush on . Oh wait, that's just me lol Enjoy peeps!



This video gave me a perfectly nerdy idea! I want a pizza Pokemon! I would imagine it looking something like this! (Image right)

It's special attack would be 'Extra Cheesy Spinach Pepperoni Bomb" and it has thumbs! So we could play video games together and I could secretly take bites of him.

Not sure what I would feed a giant pizza though. I am sure a nice big glass of shut the fuck up will work just fine! Bye nerds!

Happy Hangover Day! My Top Five Zombie Apocalypse Tips

Hangover!

Good afternoon everyone, I hate you all. Really, you are making write this post with a pounding headache. That is just not nice, but happy Hangover Day anyways! In celebration, and in part because everyone will be walking around like zombies. I would like to list a few tips that I personally would live by during the zombie apocalypse. These aren't normal tips, like run, or don't get eaten (That's a good one!), these are actually useful. You will thank me later.

1. Find A Weapon

This one is painfully obvious, but until it happens you would never believe how many people lack samurai swords in their houses. What neanderthals, but if you are one of them, look for something long and sharp, or something heavy like an axe.

2. Go to Mc. Donalds!


Obviously, a big mac is the last thing on your mind when undead creatures are trying to eat your brains. This fatty food haven has a couple things that will be important for your early zombie free zone. They have food safe sanitizer by the box full. You basically use this in water, and you can wipe down your area for a semi clean environment. They also have bleach packets for more heavy duty cleaning, but don't use this on a wound! Before you leave, make sure you grab a few things from the med kit, and grab as many non perishable food items as you can. Mostly water I would assume.


3. Powering up


If you plan to have a zombie free zone, you need to have electricity. You can't run off gas forever, so to run your flood lights, and your sirens and electric stoves. You need to be able to generate CLEAN energy! Now obviously, you cannot pull a solar panel out of your ass, but a simpler method, would be to take a ceiling fan or one of those cheap white floor fans, and strip it to its bones. If you didn't already know, an electric engine can also be used to generate electricity if you can turn it.

After you strip it down, throw it on a pole with a swivel on it and you should be able to power a toaster. Obviously the bigger the electric motor, the more electricity it outputs, but its also harder to turn so you need more wind with larger propellers.  So get a shit ton of these hooked up to a battery with a regulator, and you will be good to go! You also will need an AC to DC converter box. Or you will blow all your lights.

4. The finer things


After you get your fences built, you deserve a little break. I do not mean your entire camp, you can take shifts. But it's time to get drunk! And obviously, after a few months of zombies, alcohol would be hard to find. But that doesn't mean you can't make it! Two things you will always have enough of, honey and water! One of the easiest alcohols to make is MEAD. It is a delicious concoction of honey, water, your choice of fruits, and yeast.

How to make a gallon of a light mead: Boil one gallon of water, add 1-2 pounds of honey and let incorporate. after you have stirred it thoroughly, grab your large container that has been sterilized see number 2 and fill it with this honey liquid. Then, you need to cover the top of that bottle, and start your yeast. You start yeast by getting warm water in a small container, like a shot glass or a double shot, and pour the yeast in and stir. Let that sit for a little bit and start to put your fruit in the container with the honey water. Once the honey water has cooled down, you can add the yeast. stir it up a bit and then let it sit. For the small amount of honey, it should only take a month or two to finish, but you will have delicious drank to help you forget about your probable doom.

5. Be a good person


The funny thing about this one, is everybody already knows it. Be kind to as many people as possible. (Don't be a pushover) If you have room for more people in your camp and you see a family walking around, invite them in!

This rule also applies to them! If any or all of them have been bitten and haven't changed yet, don't put yourself around people. If you do, you are a frikkin butthole! Share your last cigarette, share some of that mead, because sharing makes the world a better place for everyone! Except the zombies.



Now it is time to get my possibly still drunk behind off my website! Check this shiz out!

Edaleeta.com - Game Developers Conference 2012

I was just browsing the interwebs and I passed by a pretty lady by the name of Pixel. Pixel is a member of the Frag Dolls, a group of all girl gamers. But none of that matters, because I am here to show you a video she posted on her blog.

The video is of her at GDC 2012 (I wish I was there!!!) explaining whats going on with nerdy antics. Definitely worth a watch, so go check out her blog!Game Developers Conference 2012

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.

On a lighter note, I am bestowing upon you a contest of sorts. Since only a few people commented on the last post asking what would be a good gift for donations to our Kickstarter, I would like to post a challenge. Post in the comments your best idea for a gift to donators, and in one week I will make a poll out of the best answers and you will vote! The person's idea with the most votes will be flown out to Orlando for the release party of Amibile Paladin, where you can meet the developers, eat a ton of cake and barbecue, and pick up your free copy of Amibile Paladin!!!

There is one condition to this contest though, This post has to get at least 500 SEPARATE comments, or it will be postponed. That means every single one of you that sees this must comment. Doesn't matter if your idea is good or bad, just post!

Ok, you have your mission, you have your tools, get thinking nerds!

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. We really could find no flaws in it, aside from the lack of new seasons.

Xam'd is about a teenage boy who is turned into a Hiruko (AKA Xam'd). With the help of his friend Haru, and a woman named Nakiami he is able to control his new powers. If he loses control, the Hiruko takes over and he turns to stone. Weird trade off if you ask me. He doesn't go on a killing rampage when he loses himself, he turns into stone.

As far as plot line goes, he uses his power to stop the war between people and Hiruko. When you first watch, it seems pretty simple, but the plot line thickens and the final episode almost made me poop my pants. Imagine God of War boss fights in anime.

There is so much more to it than what we can explain. We watched the entire series with almost no pause in between, and we never got bored. I even teared up a few times, I couldn't help it! This is an instant hit, and I know you will all like it.  So just go on Hulu and check it out! you wont regret it!

As always, we love you guys! Have fun watching Xam'd!

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 'I', I would move back two spaces. And its not that I am an idiot and I cant talk in third person, but the game is really long and when people are saying things, you forget. Needless to say, I was in last place! Dammit!!! But I am confident in my current sober state I could own everybody!

 As a consequence of this game, I keep on getting the urge to write in third person. I have a feeling that you guys would hate that, so I am going to take a brief intermission. While I am practicing tongue twisters, I am gonna put this here.. Okay? Don't break it. Kadajett is serious.

Ok, that wasn't so hard. No more urge to talk in third person, but that was a really good song! Kind of had a fancy beat to it, it pulled my nerdy heartstrings. Would thou like to hear more? Keep listening, or Borthaniel will eat your soul.

We have a nerdy love song that Borthaniel approves of. But, I think I might cry after listening to it, and you guys don't want to see that. So I will let you go about your business hopefully continuing to browse of Life of Ramen.






KTHXBAI!!!

Borthaniel The Bear

Morning everyone, my name is Kadajett and I will be your server today. Our special today is a new Kickstarter comic book. Oh, you want to buy everything, Mr. Big Spender. Let's get started then!

Hazaa, we have an awesome looking new comic called Borthaniel. Borthaniel is a story based in a world where genetically engineered creatures were created to serve humans. Forced to draw arms and fight the humans wars, the creatures rebelled. That is where this story takes place.

It follows a teddy bear creature named Borthaniel, along with his friends Molasses(Another vicious bear), Bandit(Part of a series of raccoon creations), Hopscotch(Swears vengeance on humanity and leads the rebellion), and so many many more. I find it so comical and fitting that the rebellion leader's name is Hopscotch. Just saying!


If you take a look at the first few pages, you will realize that this isn't a fluffy bunny cartoon. This is an epic tale of adventures and blood shed. But to make this all possible, the team creating it needs your help! You guys remember Kickstarter? If you don't it is a website where people can post projects and get funds raised for them by you. If you like the project and you have a couple extra bucks, be a pal and throw it to them. Who knows, you might get some free stuff!

National Women's Day, Yes I Will Make You a Sandwich

Good morning everyone, I am feeling particularly good today. Do you want to know why? It is National Women's Day! The one day where we can appreciate our lady friends without being accused of having our man parts in a vice! I kid, we should always appreciate our ladies. 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 how awesome you are!
Not quite sure what they were trying to show, but whatever it is they did a really good job not being sexist!

And proving to all of us that not all half naked blondes follow the stereotype, here is one of my favorite video game characters and it's a she!

Samus Muthafuckin Aran! I remember the day I figured out she was a girl, I almost pooped my pants. Here I go playing this entire hard ass game thinking that I am some bad ass penis wielding super soldier, and all of a sudden the armor is gone and I am a smokin' hot blonde bombshell. That is a win for women everywhere!

My next tribute to women everywhere, is Comic Book Style!


As you probably assumed, I love comics like most nerds. But one of my favorite comics right now isn't one of the biggies like Superman or Batman. It is Spider Island, starring Spider Woman! I love the art style, and up until I started reading this series, I didn't know Spider Woman existed. Her special abilities rock, I could even say she is stronger than Spider man. Regardless, here she is in all her glory. And ladies, you should pick up a copy too. Empower yourselves dammit! ;P



To finish this awesome sauce tribute to babes everywhere, I would like to re-post some old videos of the coolest babes on You Tube!

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 can before your partner or you die in a fiery cookie involved crash. It looked like it would be a fun couple of hours, and guess what? It is free for Windows and Mac! So Check out this Youtube video and download the game for you and a friend to play.





And if you are interested in downloading it, here is the linky links!

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. The family is often fighting in the streets, causing problems for everyone.

But amidst the feud, a young adult from each of the two families become lovers. They had planned to get married or run off together to stop the feuding within the family. Blah blah blah, Romeo thinks Juliet was poisoned, so he kills himself. She ends up not being poisoned, and kills herself next to his now dead body.

It really is a great story, but not when it is based a gazillion years in the future, Stan Lee! That's what this blog post is about, a very futuristic version of Romeo & Juliet.



The basic story is the same for this graphic novel, but instead of ancient Verona, it is ultra futuristic. The two opposing families are actually cyborgs and genetically altered humans.

The families had worked together to make sure future Verona was super powerful, but when they destroy all threats, they turn to each other for blood.

Don't get me wrong, I love futuristic fantasy novels. But I think taking such an old slightly overused story and slapping technology in the mix was a bit of a stretch.  Of course that is my opinion, and you are all entitled to post comments on your own. But before that, I have a trailer. Enjoy!





The art looks decent, so the story would really have to rock to convince me. I sadly judge some novels by their covers so to speak, and I am probably not going to enjoy this one.

But who knows, I will try my best to get a hand on it and I will give it a true review. Until then, go out and buy it yourself, give it your own opinion and tell me to shut the hell up!

Ghost in the Stall! Oh My!!

I don't know if this guys stories are legit, but he is a true comedian. You Tube style at that.
