Toonami is BACK on May 26th
Well Toonami fans, Adult Swim has answered your prayers. Returning on May 26th is the exciting block of action cartoons and anime. Adult Swim’s April Fools Joke was to play their old Toonami block for one night which set the internet afire as fans told other fans resulting in no one sleeping. Now, Adult Swim has recently announced that the block will be returning. Toonami was one of the few sources for great anime back in the day. It showed the likes of Dragonball, Dragonball Z, Sailor Moon, Yu Yu Hakasho, Outlaw Star, several Gundam titles, etc. Twenty-something anime fans probably owe quite a lot to Toonami and, now, we get to relive those sleepless Saturday nights of our youth. It is unsure if Toonami will run alongside the current Adult Swim programming, but we shall all find out on May 26. Just to add a bit of nostalgia, here is

To Lydia With Love, Two More Times
Kristen Nedopak, the hardest working woman on the web, currently has a plan to get two more Skyrim parody videos created to follow up her super successful Skyrim: To Lydia With Love video, and she needs your help to get them done! One of the main things Kristen talked about in her interview with us a while back was the need for community when trying to create your own content. Without community, it can be very difficult to get creator owned content not only made but finished and distributed for an audience to see. As Kristen is always more than willing to help out other creators with their projects, now’s the perfect chance to return the favor and help her out a little with her projects. You don’t have to be skilled in the art of Thu’um to help out, or even smithing or necromancing to help out (she’s making it

What to expect when you’re expecting was unexpectedly emotional
This week we were treated to an early screening of What to Expect when you’re Expecting. I met up with Carolyn from This Talk Ain’t Cheap at the theater and we were treated to a glass of wine before the movie. What to Expect when your’re Expecting is a well known book series that has been transformed into a movie. The movie covers various scenarios that women trying to get pregnant or not trying find themselves in. We see the scenarios from the character’s viewpoints but there are also transitions where situations overlap. The movie follows five couples in Atlanta. All of them experience the highs and lows of pregnancy. The cast is incredible. Cameron Diaz,Jennifer Lopez,Elizabeth Banks,Dennis Quaid,Chris Rock, Anna Kendrick, Matthew Morrison, and the very hot,(yes you get to see him without his shirt on) Joe Manganiello. Rebel Wilson (from Bridesmaids) is also in the movie and she

What to do when you are at work instead of playing Diablo III
Today many of us had to go to work while others played the sick card to play Diablo III. Although the day has not been kind to those that stayed home (Blizzard has had some server issues), we felt the need to offer advice for those of us that have to work 8 or more hours before we can go home and play. Hope that the servers let up by the time the clock hits 5pm and laugh when people complain of getting the Error 37 all day. Block hashtag #diablo3 or any variation of Diablo3 on Twitter Send out lots of emails so that everyone knows you came to work instead of calling in sick like half your friends list Wear a Diablo III or Blizzard shirt to be “that guy” today Refresh yourself on the story behind Diablo by reading up online. It has been a long time

Women in Games: Amanda McGinnis from Console to Closet
Amanda McGinnis shops around and finds the best outfits and accessories inspired by video game characters. Currently a junior English major in college, Amanda hopes to one-day work for a gaming publication, or become a community manager for a gaming community. In addition to keeping everyone up on gamer fashion Amanda founded Assassionista, a gaming blog. Here is my conversation with Amanda about her Tumblr, Console to Closet. Natasha: So, how did you come up with this idea? Amanda: I actually came up with this idea a few months ago, when I decided that I wanted to learn how to make jewelry. I had this idea that I could make jewelry that looked inspired by games for people who wanted to show their nerd pride, but still look fashionable. After one trip to Michaels, I realized I had no idea how to make jewelry. Fast-forward a few months, I was

Review: The Walking Dead (Episode 1: A New Day)
Rating: M (for Mature) Genre: Action, Adventure, RPG Publisher: Telltale Games Developer: Telltale Games Release Date: April 25th, 2012 BUY The Walking Dead. If you’ve read the Graphic Novels or watched the television show, I’m sure you have a pretty good idea what you might be in for. Even still, the name gives a lot away. Zombies. This is a game about zombies. But what you might not know that those of us more familiar with the comic or the show are familiar with already, is that it’s also a game about choices. Hard choices. These are the quick on your feet, nail-biting, choose it or lose it sort of moments that kind of define the zombie genre and that The Walking Dead is already known for. (That and if anyone ever asks where Carl is? He’s not in the house. Most especially if he’s been told to stay there.)

Intel provides a look at who you are online
Intel has created a campaign called “What about me”. By connecting your online social presence , (Twitter, Facebook and Youtube), Intel’s machine gives you a look at who you are online. Remember a couple days ago when we talked about people that lie about who they are online? This provides insight, but unfortunately only for the individual. I am unable to look up my friends (online or irl) and see what their profile looks like. It drilled down what I talk about online in percentages by topic. According to my wheel you would think I’m not online all that much (the percentages aren’t that high). Also it states that I spend more time talking about tv than gaming. Which is really weird. After that it breaks down your most popular tweets, posts and pics. There is also a look at your connections. It really feels like the Intel program choose

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Graphic Novel Due in November
DC will be releasing a graphic novel based on the popular Steig Larsson novel The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo in November of this year. The book will be written by Denise Mina, a Scottish author who has written multiple novels, a couple of plays, and contributed to the Hellblazer comic series in addition to journalism and academic writing. Frankly, I am glad to have seen this news if only for the introduction to Mina; I am not sure how I missed her work before this. She writes the kind of modern British mysteries I have been getting into lately, a modern, more disturbing extension of the Agatha Christies I grew up loving. The entire project is international–the artists, Leonardo Manco and Andrea Mutti, are from Argentina and Italy, respectively. Manco has worked as a regular artist for the Hellblazer comic series, including the stories written by Mina, and he has also

Spartacus Boot Camp is a place we all want to be
I’m not sure how newsworthy this is, but since it’s Friday, I figure we can all use a picture of “hawt” dude working out. Plus this post goes to a GamingAngels editor that every podcast mentions battle panties. The Spartacus team is working out hard for the new season. They take one month to go through Gladiator training which includes exercises used by the military. “Meticulous choreographing is necessary to ensure the safety of the actors performing the stunts,” says stunt coordinator Allan Poppleton, who has overseen each of the “Spartacus” boot camps. “For four weeks, we work the cast to the point of exhaustion, combining cross training elements- everything from cardio, basic gymnastics, foot and movement work, unarmed combat, body awareness, reactions, weaponry, and functional cross fit circuits.” “Spartacus Boot Camps are famous now for pushing you to your absolute limits,” says star Liam McIntyre. “This year they found

One in five people post false information on social media sites
Social Networks are commonplace now. New networks show up all the time, companies are created to measure your influence online and all generations are sharing online in a variety of ways. But did you ever wonder if the person you are following is real? Or if what they are tweeting about is accurate? According to a recent report showcased on Reuters, one in five people in the study outright lied in their social media profile. What’s even more interesting is that while people are “liking” posts, or commenting, 90% of those surveyed believe people are “oversharing”. That’s right, not everyone cares about the angry face your baby made, or the tacos that you ate today. If you think about it, many of us share things online that we may never say to someone else in person. For example, on my private blog I tend to write about various things I’m
