Doing a little more "investigation" and, yep, it's definitely going to be fungi related. How so? Go to the game's official website and they'll have a 32 second video clip of the BBC Planet Earth video about Cordyceps. EDIT: You know, listen to the last 10 seconds and it does sound a bit creepy when given the "The Last of Us" scenario. Given if we do get to some inflated population size, our own "Cordyceps fungi" would arise to reduce our numbers. However, the important characteristic with the ants is that they recognized the fungi and took the infected far away. With mankind, how could we possible do that when we are spread out so thick?

Yeah, just saying people will eventually forget a single campaign ad, but "santorum" is going to mean just that as long as the Internet is active. Though I'm sure if Rick Perry tries his hand again in... 2016, it's going to come back to bite him.

I'm interested because it probably will be a new twist on zombies. The enemies looked like they were infected with some kind of spores or what have you. Not to say, "C'mon, new zombie types," but that the story could be a bit different than, "The Zombie Apocalypse happened." You never know, judging by how much vegetation there is at the end, it might be a natural biological threat. It makes me think of those fungi that target specific insect species. Sure we've had our hopes smashed to pieces by Dead Island, but this could be a more "survivalist" type zombie game. Yeah, I guess I am holding my breath there.

It's been a long standing tradition for talk shows and comedy sketches to do this, but now we're in an Internet era where anyone can do it themselves. Of course, I think Santorum has it worse because his name is now synonymous with a mixture of lube and fecal matter through the power of the Internet.

I like having a large bomb bag because bombs can be the "screw it" option against certain enemies. A giant Yellow Chuchu? Roll a bomb right into it! A bunch of Quadro Baba? Throw a bomb! Part of me wishes there were a few specific upgrades because, to be honest, the Beetle upgrades kinda spoiled me.

Another silly Skyrim video too! Skip to 9:32 and watch for a minute. I guarantee you'll get a chuckle out of it. I happen to like watching Toby Turner, a.k.a. "Tobuscus," play some games. Thing you gotta remember is that he really does suck at gaming. In Skyrim he still has not gone to fight the first dragon because he believes it will be "really hard." He's now Lv. 8 and has enough weapons and abilities to probably kill the dragon in seven hits.

I haven't finished the game, but I will say that at times the whole idea that everything you're doing is a pseudo-dungeon can wear on you if you don't take a break. I'm trying to finish it quick, so the whole time I feel like I'm still stuck in a temple. As far as upgrading items, it's a good thing the shield bash doesn't affect the condition of the shield. Seriously, shield bashing is an effective technique against quite a few enemies. So yeah, if you feel like all the treasure you're collecting isn't doing anything, upgrade a shield. Of course, I've upgraded everything I have, but the bags and bug net were the greatest ones so far. Actually, having the fully upgraded Beetle is pretty awesome.

I remember when that was first published. Where did you get it because when it was first out, that thing was expensive! Well, at least I remember that way, otherwise I would have it in my possession now.

There have been long-winded debates on "Happy Holidays" vs. "Merry Christmas," but it always ends up the same: Someone, somewhere is going to get pissed off by one of the two phrases. Makes me glad that I don't have to worry about saying either one at work. I hand people decent burgers and they get on with their lives.

Considering there's that CGI movie "Embers," we know of Ezio's fate. Haven't been able to play yet, and honestly, I probably won't be able to until January. I'm glad I payed $32 simply because I wouldn't have some $60 piece of plastic collecting dust whilst I try to finish up Skyward Sword before the 17th.

Once tomorrow is completed, I'll finally return to Skyward Sword. Ugh, I can't believe how many times I've had to drop the game to finish assignments!

For anyone who's interested in reading the books of Skyrim, but doesn't want to waste any in-game time doing so! http://capane.us/2011/11/24/dovahkiin-gutenberg/ P.S. You'll need an eReader of sorts.

Me too! At least I have the PC version so I can use the console to bypass the bug, but it's still not perfect because there's a chance of Lydia walking away before the ceremony is completed. Oh, not to mention disappearing for a couple of days.

I was completely surprised at how there were actual environmental attack methods. No, really, imagine accidentally setting yourself on fire because of the lamp oil on the ground!

Of course, Dean. If I remember correctly, defamation laws over there are quite intense. It's why, sometimes, American celebrities will travel to the UK so they can have a trial involving a single comment that was in a legality grey area in the US, but could be considered slander/libel across the pond. I agree with Mister Jack: it's embarrassing. Not the campaign ads mind you, but the Republican candidacy race (debates and all). The Anti-Romney crowd has now moved onto Newt Gingrich. I really didn't see that coming, not in the slightest. We've gone through Bachmann vs. Romney; Perry vs. Romney; Cain vs. Romney; and it's arrived at Newt vs. Romney. If I were a betting man, I'd put money on this, but I'm not. 2012 Prediction: Romney is the Republican candidate, though due to a lack of support from the entirety of the GOP, he loses by a dozen or so electoral votes. Obama is president for four more years and thus the continual groaning of his opposition will resume. a.k.a. Think 2004, but swap the parties.

Horrible Bosses Got it for $12 on Blu-ray (DVD and Digital Copy), which I'm glad I did because this pretty much qualifies as just a "good" movie, nothing too great. Personally, it got a bit stale with how the three main characters kept acting like knuckleheads. It was still funny at times, but I couldn't help but comment how they could have gotten out of each scenario. It was surreal to see Jennifer Aniston as a nymphomaniac too.

Pembroke Welsh Corgi FTW!

I didn't expect either side to be mostly good or mostly evil, but it was unsettling when Stormcloak soldiers would go into "Go Nords! GTFO everyone else!" I really only followed Ralof because he was a cool guy, whereas the other one kept calling me prisoner and ordering me around. Made a lot more sense to follow someone who would help you escape than someone who's probably only keeping you alive to screw you over later on.

Hardly unheard of, and you can expect negative campaign ads from the Obama campaign as well. Why? Because negative ads have a greater effect than positive ads on viewers. You can see it from the 1988 presidential election (Bush vs. Dukakis). Dukakis had positive campaign ads that painted him as the proper candidate, essentially "I will" ads. Bush had campaign ads that attacked Dukakis that could almost be described as "criminal reports" because they had "He's said/done" statements. Really, that's what campaign ads have come down to: "Savior of Mankind" and "Criminal Reports." Or a.k.a. "Promises" vs. "Faults"

Alright, I could try to skim through a dozen thread pages, or ask the question now: Stormcloak or Imperial Army? I haven't joined either side yet, but I was leaning toward Stormcloak. That is, well, whenever I talk to some Stormcloak soldiers, they come off like Nordic Nazis. I also spoiled a bit of the game for myself when I learned what happens to Whiterun if you take up Stormcloak. I would feel bad, not to mention I plan on marrying an NPC from Whiterun. "Listen honey, I know this is your home and you have precious memories of it, but I'm gonna have to possibly wage a bloody assault on it." Not really asking for advice, just wanted to see where the PXOD community puts their allegiance!
