Not much gets the nerdgasm going these days.
E3 gets me hyped up, but it more the event and all the neat things that could be coming that get the juices flowing.
But then my stumblings around the fine internet brought this magic to me.
OH YES!!!! Mechwarrior is back baby!!!
Not much is cooler than a Mechwarrior game. The only reason I'm not playing Mechwarrior game right this second is that I don't have a rig that can play a Mechwarrior game.
I think that may just have to change when this little wonder comes along.
Looking at the video, this will be a reboot of the entire franchise. Mechwarrior 4 left off with the end of the FedCom Civil War and the beginning of the Jihad (there comes the total nerd again).
Instead of continuing the story from there, the creaters of the game decided to head back to just before the Fourth Succession War which would be by the video 3015.
This is a great time frame to set the reboot of the franchise. You don't have to worry about the Clans and their superior technology and you can just focus on the gameplay and the story.
IGN also had the first details of what the game will be like. Reading those questions and answers makes me feel like this game is going to be solid.
The coolest parts of this for me were watching that tariler and seeing that heat translates. You could see on the Warhammer when he fires his PPC that the arm is red-hot for a while and then cools down. The interesting thing with the fiction was that sometimes a pilot would at times fire too much and the weapon would seal shut from the heat melting the end together. We may see this happening.
Overall, I'm so excited that I think this hype will subdue my anger of the delay of Fallout 3 DLC. Which Bethesda said they will give an update on next week. Stay tuned.

Welcome to the Outlander
Welcome to the Outlander Games blog!
I will be your host as we try to make sense of a lot of the weird stuff that happens in games and the like.
My name is Nick Livingston, and I am a journalist. I am a sports journalist, but as many people know I have a passion for video games.
Expect a little something every day from this blog with updates on news, videos and pictures of the kind of games I like to play.
This isn't my playthrough by far, but here is a fun video of Megaton getting nuked.
It was so easy to just head to Megaton and start my treks from there. Now I am in the corner of the map and have to march a long way to get anything done the first time.
Also, I'm so used to my level 20 good character, that it's weird to be grinding for XP again. However, in the Wastes it really doesn't feel like grinding.
Anyway, on to The Show, where my Houston Astros season had been on the back burner for a while. Jumped back into the mix today and got destroyed by the Braves, but it's a nice change of pace.

In the PS3 right now - Fallout 3 and MLB 09: The Show
Waiting impatiently for the Operation: Anchorage DLC to drop, I have continued my evil trek through the Capital Wasteland. It's a lot different making my home Tenpenny Tower after blowing up Megaton.This isn't my playthrough by far, but here is a fun video of Megaton getting nuked.

In the Wii - Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10
Don't really see any game taking hold of this system any time soon. It's just too good to take out and try to find something else to put in the Wii.
Don't have much to say other than bravo to Nintendo for their Wii Motion Plus and what it does for the game. I have never liked golf games, but this one is really fun.
Well, good first post. If you have stumbled across this, drop me a comment. I would love to see what you are playing and what you think of things.
Until next time.
