KaD Mummy the Curse

Hi all you World of Darkness fans an all of those not. Today we are featuring Mummy: The Curse part of the New World of Darkness. This book is written and developed by C.A.Suleiman,having worked on Mummy: The Resurrection over 10 years ago. During that time he came up with a new dream for not only a new version of Mummy but a new World of Darkness.
                        To help you I will show you the video where he talks about this.







This looks like it will be an interesting RPG having personally never played the World of Darkness, I cannot say exactly what the world is like, but looks to be one I would like to try myself.

I am kind of stuck for more info right now since the video tells you a lot. I will try to talk to the creator of this game and get some info.

Yall can go to http://whitewolfblogs.com/mummy  or at http://theonyxpath.com for more info. Don't forget to back it if you like it and mention Deaths Crowbar sent you.

*Neverwinter Exclusive* PC Gamer

Hey guys the next issue of PC Gamer will have a preview of  Neverwinter gameplay and an exclusive code. This code will get you one of two mounts chosen randomly.  This edition of will be released on January 8 to all news stands and digitally. Any subscribers to PC Gamer have their copy on the way.







To join the Neverwinter forums and  have a chance at a beta key go to playneverwinter.com, and remember when you introduce yourself on the forums say Death sent you.

KaD Machined Metal Dice

So I found this one guys and it is great, machined metal precision D6's. These were designed by Amber Rix and are made in the good old USA. I believe they look great. Apparently these are made to be a more perfect D6 to roll better. I couldn't quite follow all of the math of what makes these better.(then again my meds may be messing with me understanding stuff). These dice are pure solid metal.  There are 6 metals Aluminum, Titanium, Copper, Brass, Stainless Steel, and Tungsten. Also the you can get anodized Aluminum in blue, black, red, or clear/silver.

This Video may help a little it is from the kickstarter page.















These are truly beautiful and any self-respecting  roleplayer should be wanting some of these and be buying them.
A set of two aluminum dice costs $12. If you would like to buy some visit the kickstarter here.

KaD Elite Dangerous

Ok so this one is a British made  space shooter/rpg that is "Open World". It is being developed by Frontier Developments. It looks like it will be interesting and have a lot of different customizable stuff. This game is planned to have a multiplayer/co-op feature. To fully understand this I recommend you visit the kickstarter here.

KaD 8-bit Playing Cards



Hey there guys I found some awesome playing cards. 8-bit inspired playing cards. These cards and the box are absolutely beautiful. The artwork is just so good. The boxes are designed to look like a NES game box. These are US made Bicycle brand playing cards and were designed by Home Run Games. Any  8-bit enthusiast, video-game lover, or one who used to play arcade machines NES or any 8-bit console should have a deck of these. There are 3 different decks and a lot of different stretch goal free extras.








A Sleeve for the cards is the next stretch goal was unlocked.





There is tons more of cool 8 bit style stuff with these cards.Here is the link. Now get over to that kickstarter and buy a pack.

KaD Limit Theory

Limit Theory is a "Open World/Universe" where you are a ship captain in space. I myself can not fully describe this one so here is a link.

KaD Dice Ring

Hey there guys I know I told yall I would be doing  Kickstarter a Day(KaD)  with one a day but I am going to list all of the game based ones ending in the next few days. I will be giving each its own posts.


                                                    DICE RINGS

Pips=dots  Kickstarter is here and I have another link at the bottom of the page.


Ok guys I found this  yesterday and it is awesome. These are spinner rings that have numbers on them and arrows like on Price-is-Right to show you what number you have rolled. They have D4, D6 and a D6 pips, D8, D10, D12, D20, and D100 for your basic roleplaying dice. There is also a double d6  where you have 2 d6 on one ring and a double d6 pips.
Then you have your cards ring, Fudge ring, and Yes or No ring.





Moving on you have your Rock Paper Scissors and Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock


here we have extra rings they are unlocked if there is enough backing. Currently they are Elements.  Directions, Alignment, and Attitude/hostility.There are more to be unlocked but it needs more backers with more cash.



                                     There are 4 different colors black, blue, gold, and rosegold.




                                These rings come in US sizes from 5-16 and include half sizes.

                                 These are the perfect BA must have ring for any roleplayer


There are many different prices for example 1 costs $15 but I recommend you get the $800 deal as it will immediately unlock the HitLoc ring. The $800 package (what you get)   1 of every style that is unlocked, every color, and you can vary the sizes.

                                                       Hurry guys before it is over

Here is a link to the kickstarter

Pathfinder MMO?!

Hey guy I found out yesterday a group is making a Pathfinder based MMO. They currently are only a kickstarter program and are slated for a 2016 release. This MMO is going to be made by Goblin Works. It will be a paid membership from what I understand.They have a different approach to making this MMO and I am not quite sure how things work in it.

If you want to check it out or donate go to http://kickstarter.goblinworks.com/pathfinder-online-kickstarter-campaign/.

Personally I am putting my money on Neverwinter Online vs. Pathfinder Online but time will tell.

Reincarnation Series






Hey guys today I'm here to talk about a game mini series I have followed for about a year.
The Reincarnation Series is an interesting "quest" style game.
In the game you control a type of Demon with the job of catching Reincarnies. Reincarnies are people who have escaped Hell and come back to earth with there body(they had their body in Hell). You are sent by Luke AKA Lucifer to find the Reincarnies and see if they are committing sins again. If so you get to kill them and bring them back to Hell. There are many secondary characters throughout the games from the Grim Reaper to hell hounds to demon fetuses.

These games are made by BGroupProductions and are quite fun. Most of the games can be found on Kongregate.com and are free to play.

Currently A new "Full Length" game is in production which will be much higher quality. You can preorder this on bgroupproductions.com along with buying tons of merchandise.

Also there is currently a kickstarter program for his new Demon Snow Caps

I really love these games and products(you have to buy a Demon Doll) and want to support them and want you guys to support them too.

The facebook page for this is https://www.facebook.com/Reincarny?fref=ts

An Awesome Game... Neverwinter

Hey guys, all of you DnD fans and MMO players I have what I believe may will be the best PC MMORPG if not The best PC game that will be released this decade. The Game is Neverwinter, yes Neverwinter but this is not your old Neverwinter Nights(although that was one the best games of its time).

No this game will be an MMO and though it is still in Alpha looks great.

This game does not have the turn by turn attacks you get in some games but has "live action".

The game is made by Cryptic Studios and with PerfectWorld Entertainment.

This game will have a Fantastic Users Generated Content(UGC) creation tool known as the Foundry. Currently they have said there will be very little limitations to what you can do in it and I am ready to get it and find out everything about it.

This will be a Free-to-Play MMO  and it has been stated that you will not have to pay for new content released by Cryptic. There will be micro-transactions though most of it will all be cosmetic. Also they have stated they will not be selling items which could give you a "leg-up" on other users.

This is E3 2011s Teaser Trailer








And E3 2012s  Gamplay Trailer





There are a lot more videos but I wont list them all.

Also anyone saying,"Oh my PC won't be able to handle it", There will be the ability to change quality to fit your PC.
The game is Scheduled to release 2013 and will be my "big game" I will play. Spending countless hours with everything from the PvE to the Foundry and even whatever PvP is released.

If you sign up now at playneverwinter.com  you will be given a chance at closed beta.
I really hope you do join and get into beta guys and talk on the Neverwinter Forums. If you do join the forums make sure to say I sent you(my forum name is deathssickle).
Also Cryptic has said our  ideas and discussions on the forums are helping to shape the game.

So go check it out. As always you may leave comments on this post. See yall later.

Christmas Time

Well guy Holidays are here. I went through the Black Friday mess and want to help you out a little.

There are many "Hot" games this year and I am having trouble getting my hands on a few myself.

1. Halo 4
If you liked any Halo's or FPS this is a must buy.

2. Black Ops 2
This one is for any Call of Duty Fan

3. Assassins Creed 3
The newest installment of the series you follow Connor, half American Indian half Colonialist during the revolutionary war. This is a very exciting game containing battles like Bunker-Hill.

4. Skylanders Giants
Trying to get a hold of this was tough but I got a 3DS version for $39.99 from Walmart.com and grabbed a Exclusive Red Armored Drill Sargent Skylander for $7.96 to get free shipping. Unfortunately Walmart sold-out very quickly but They still have the Exclusive Drill Sargent on sale.


I have had a lot of trouble getting the following on ebay for a good price

Skylanders Spyros Adventure
I seems everyone wants this and some of the used copies are going for around $50.

MarioKart 7
Trust me just buy a copy at a local store.
Most of the listings reach anywhere from $30 - $40 on used copies. It is like people dont understand a new copy is about the same price and a used the same or cheaper at the stores.

Ill be adding anything else I find or think of.
 BTW you might want to pick up a WiiU. I have not got one but they are the newest Nintendo console.

3DS/XL Review

Hey guys so I have had my 3DS and 3DS XL for a couple weeks now along with playing Pokemon Black 2. Hopefully this will be an ok review but lets begin.

When you start out with the 3DS you seem to automatically get mesmerized by the 3D powers it contains. The AR games it comes with are spectacular along with a few other built-in games. I played fishing alone for hours on end.

 I enjoy taking pictures and video with it but it has some lighting problems. There is a slider to adjust the 3D to your liking or even turn it off.

 The sound slider is on the side and works well except I keep accidentally turning it up or down thus I would prefer it on the bottom.  The controls are easy to work with and it is easy to find your way around this device.
You can download classic and even new 3D games off the eshop along with demos and other fun stuff.While it also plays original DS games well.

 I find few way to upgrade this device beyond adding another circlepad beneath the buttons, upgrading resolution, camera quality, graphics capability(which is about the same quality as the Wii for a good example look at the new Resident Evil game for 3DS)and slight software upgrades and adding the GBA slot on the bottom again.




I highly recommend this if you are a younger gamer and don't have one.

Now The XL I highly prefer the finish on it as it does not show up fingerprints as well as the original. This fits my hands well where I had to use "the claw fingers" on the originals bumper buttons.

 It has all the benefits of the original and also those of being larger plus the stylus is on the side of the console verses being on top like the original and that it is a solid stylus verses 3DS collapsible stylus. Also the Select,Home,Select buttons are easy to push as they are individual buttons.

This device also plays Netflix just like the regular 3DS but the increased screen size makes it a lot nicer.

I believe that the screen resolution should have been improved more and that better cameras should have been added.






I believe unless you are a gamer between 5-12 the is the 3DS XL for you. I love my XL and dont think I will be getting tired of it any time soon.


Overall I give 3DS a 8 as a handheld console

While 3DS XL gets a 9 as a handheld console

Where I Have Been

Hey guys it's me. I have been on the Neverwinter MMO forums a lot lately and working for some new games and devices. I have finally got 2 more handheld console both a 3DS(for my little brother) and a 3DS XL I picked up yesterday. I haven't messed with my XL other than charging it because I want to get screen protectors for it before I use it. I will probably do a review for both of them.
I will be picking up the new Pokemon games on the 7th and may review those and even record them.

Be back later guys thanks for reading

Original Pokemon Games for Virtual Console?

So guys, I recently sent a message to Nintendo to see if my suggestions would get anywhere. I'll give you my message and the response.  My question was set at a business standpoint believing it may increase the chances of this actually coming into consideration. I do want it just so I can play it.



"Dear Nintendo,
I find that you should to increase sells of the Pokemon games re-release Pokemon Red and Blue/Red and Green in their original forms for the 3ds on virtual console. The only new things to add would be to allow transfer and battles over the internet, and allowing the Pokemon to be transferred to Black and White / Black2 and White2. Many other fans believe this should happen and we would be very happy to buy these. 
Thank you for your consideration. "


the answer I got back was



Hello,

Thank you for contacting us. As a big fan of Pokemon games myself, I also wouldn't mind seeing remakes of those classic Pokemon games. I can also see why you'd like to be able to transfer Pokemon and play them online like you would with Pokemon Black and Pokemon White. However, we haven't heard of any plans to remake any of those amazing games at this time, but I will pass along your comments to the departments which make those decisions.
  
If or when we do make an official announcement about remaking any Pokemon games, we will share all the exciting details on our website (www.nintendo.com). Until that happens, we appreciate your patience and ask that you continue checking the website.

Sincerely,

Kevin Anderson
Nintendo of America Inc.



It is nice to see some consideration from game developers now days and hope things like this
will continue.

So maybe we will be getting Pokemon Red in all its glitched MissingNO. glory. It is possible. 
Tell me what you think guys in a comment or on the forums.

Stencyl and OUYA Join Forces


OK guys so with OUYA coming out I contacted them and got them to work things out with Stencyl. So Hopefully you will be able to make 2D games for a console without all those fees.

If you have never heard of Stencyl, I will tell you about it.

Stencyl is a free 2D game development engine. It is easy to use as it has a tool for coding that is quite unique. With the code tool it has you can easily plug bits of code into each other into one large string of code.
It also comes with a pixel based sprite building tool. You can gain many things on to help you start on the StencylForge where resources are stored. Some are free to use others have requirements. They have a great  forum community that will help you out all the time. You can make flash and IOS games while coming updates will include Andriod and HTML5. I find this a great tool and highly recommend it.

Seeing to these things more Android games will probably come out in the near future while there will also be a wider range of developers.

Neverwinter MMO Guilds

Hey guys I am currently posting this as I know when this game comes out there will be many choices in guilds I invite all of you to join me on the Hardcore Christian Gamer forums and the Neverwinter clan/guild on it. Also sign-up for a Perfect World account. I will set up a guild for any who wish to join but please join the HCG forums also  We have a site here(Anyone who joins before or on release date will be considered a Founding Member). Feel free to join and discuss things. I also am trying to get betas and such to show you guys.(That includes Neverwinter ) I also want to see if I can get stuff for contests. If you have suggestions leave them in the comment section below.

Doctor Malekith?



So Apparently Christoper Eccelston may be in Thor 2. "Who is Christopher Eccleston?", you may ask, he is the 9th Doctor from Doctor Who. You know black trench-coat looks like this



Yah that guy. Don't tell me you only recognized him from G.I.Joes : Rise of Cobra. Well apparently  he is going to play Malekith The Accursed ruler of Svartalfheim the realm of the dark elves.



Yah apparently he has a lot of powers having to do with dark faerie magic.







           Possible Spoilers below!!!









As stated by comicvine.com


"Centuries ago Malekith proved himself to be an enemy of both the humans of Earth and the gods of Asgard. Malekith's greates weapon was the Casket of Ancient Winters, which contained mystical forces that could reproduce the overwhelming frigidity of another of the Nine Worlds, Niffleheim, the realm of ice. To prevent Malekith from releasing the contents of the casket, Eric Willis, a mortal man, stole the casket. Without the caskets power Malekith was unable to protect himself from the wrath of Odin, the All-Father, Ruler of Asgard. Odin banished Malekith to another dimension where he remained for centuries, until he was freed in recent times by the fire demon Surtur, ruler of Muspelheim, who became Malekith's master.
Surtur's first command was for Malekith to regain the Casket of Ancient Winters so it could be used on Earth, to usher in the Invasion forces of Muspelheim. Odin dispatched his ravens Huginn and Muninn to spy on the forces of Muspelheim. Huginn was murdered by Surtur, and Muninn was injured. Malekith tried unsuccefully to prevent Muninn from escaping. Shortly after this Malekith was ordered by Surtur to form an alliance with Loki. The alliance was meant to ensure that Loki would not aid the forces of Asgard. Knowing thqat Surtur intended to destroy Asgard Loki deceived Malekith and had no intention of watching Asgard fall. The magic from the Casket had preserved Eric Willis and he was still the same age as when he stole it.
Malekith had his human agents harass Eric, in an attempt to regain the Casket, this evetually lead to his being murdered by Malekith himself. The Casket was recovered by Willis son Roger. Tired of being denied his prize; Malekith summoned the Wild Hunt, a pack of demonic hounds, to track Roger Willis."

And in the show Avengers Mightiest Heroes 

"Malekith appears in the episode "The Casket of Ancient Winters" voiced by Quinton Flynn. He is shown to be working with Enchantress and Loki to obtain the Casket of Ancient Winters before betraying them in order to use the casket to resurrect his people, the Dark Elves, as well as bring about an endless winter on Earth. He is defeated through the combined efforts of Iron ManBlack Panther and Thor when Iron Man uses his metal suit as a superconductor to channel Thor's mystical lighting through the Dark Elf. It is presumed that Malekith perished in the ensuing battle, but given the undead nature of his character that remains to be seen."


How things will truly unfold in the movie I am unsure, we will have to wait to find out.

We Have a Forum

Hey guys I just made a forum for the Blogg feel free to check it out, sign up, and start posting.

BTW after a month the Forum will display adds if anyone would like to pay to remove them tell me in the forum. I am Deaths Crowbar(Sickle)

I Can See, I Can Fight

OK I'm not sure if you guys have heard of this yet but there is a cool new Virtual Reality headset to come on the market. It is called the Oculus Rift and is unlike any I have ever seen. It has a Kickstarter here.




Why kickstarter?


"Oculus Rift is a new virtual reality (VR) headset designed specifically for video games that will change the way you think about gaming forever. With an incredibly wide field of view, high resolution display, and ultra-low latency head tracking, the Rift provides a truly immersive experience that allows you to step inside your favorite game and explore new worlds like never before.

We're here raising money on Kickstarter to build development kits of the Rift, so we can get them into the hands of developers faster. Kickstarter has proven to be an amazing platform for accelerating big and small ideas alike. We hope you share our excitement about virtual reality, the Rift, and the future of gaming. "


Why was it developed?


 "The Rift takes 3D gaming to the next level. There are a number of VR headsets out there, but none that deliver a truly immersive gaming experience. Most products either lack the technical features required for believable immersion or sit at a very high price-point ($20,000+) reserved for the military or scientific community. 
We set out to change all that with the Rift, which is designed to maximize immersion, comfort, and pure, uninhibited fun, at a price everyone can afford."
Do you have any developers backing and what do the have to say?
"What I've got now, is, I honestly think the best VR demo probably the world has ever seen"
John Carmack, id Software
"Needless to say, I'm a believer... We're extremely excited here at Epic Games to get the Unreal Engine integrated with Oculus"
Cliff Bleszinski, Design Director Epic Games

Psx Converter Review

This is a Psx/Ps2 converter I bought off Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F6BGXY/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00  .

This has 2 controller ports with a red LED to show which controllers are plugged in. It has a nice clear blue plastic shell along with the same color USB cable. Overall my testing of it over the past few days has gone well. I have been using the Ps1 PiranhaPad by INTERACT( though it can use the Ps2 dualshock) and have had no problems. When  I opened it up it took a while for my computer to recognize and find drivers, though it did, also it came with a driver disk, which would not install. I read online the driver disk is for things like the steering wheel, although I do not have a wheel or driving game to test it with yet. This has worked very well on Emulators though. I have currently used it on epsxe 1.7.0 and ZSNES and both worked very well  with it, though turning on turbo gave me trouble. I  currently have been playing Warriors of  Might and Magic  and  Zombies Ate my Neighbors on it. Also I have heard people say it works with PS3.
Overall I find this a good product as long as you buy the Sony version(there are fakes). It works great with emulators and possibly PS3. So looking at all this I give it a 9/10.

                      This is considered one of the best PlayStation controller converters

And 2 Become 3

Today Peter Jackson Announced on his facebook that the Hobbit: An Unexpected Adventure(yes this is the name)   wil now be 3 movies. He said as follows:

"It is only at the end of a shoot that you finally get the chance to sit down and have a look at the film you have made. Recently Fran, Phil and I did just this when we watched for the first time an early cut of the first movie - and a large chunk of the second. We were really pleased with the way the story was coming together, in particular, the strength of the characters and the cast who have brought them to life.  All of which gave rise to a simple question: do we take this chance to tell more of the tale? And the answer from our perspective as the filmmakers, and as fans, was an unreserved ‘yes.'

We know how much of the story of Bilbo Baggins, the Wizard Gandalf, the Dwarves of Erebor, the rise of the Necromancer, and the Battle of Dol Guldur will remain untold if we do not take this chance.  The richness of the story of The Hobbit, as well as some of the related material in the appendices of The Lord of the Rings, allows us to tell the full story of the adventures of Bilbo Baggins and the part he played in the sometimes dangerous, but at all times exciting, history of Middle-earth.

So, without further ado and on behalf of New Line Cinema, Warner Bros. Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Wingnut Films, and the entire cast and crew of “The Hobbit” films, I’d like to announce that two films will become three.

It has been an unexpected journey indeed, and in the words of Professor Tolkien himself, "a tale that grew in the telling."

Cheers,

Peter J"

Yep another year till we will see the full story unfold.
Please tell us what you think.

Old and New

Ok guys I know its been a while but I've got some info for yall.
1. I got the remote reset working on the NES I modded and put a video about on the blog.
2. I have a NES Satellite right now and am looking into possible uses in modding
3. The OUYA a new game system coming out made to run Android games.
The reason? They say "The console market is pushing developers away. We’ve seen a brain drain: some of the best, most creative gamemakers are focused on mobile and social games because those platforms are more developer-friendly. And the ones who remain focused on console games can’t be as creative as they’d like."


"Developers can offer a free demo with a full-game upgrade, in-game items or powers, or ask you to subscribe."


"OUYA is a new game console for the TV, powered by Android.
We've packed this little box full of power. Developers will have access to OUYA's open design so they can produce their games for the living room, taking advantage of everything the TV has to offer. 
"Best of all, OUYA's world-class controller, console, and interface come in one beautiful, inexpensive package. All the games on it will be free, at least to try."
Development?
"Anyone can make a game: every OUYA console is a dev kit. No need to purchase a license or an expensive SDK. It's built on Android, so developers already know how it works. "
Controlers?
"We are designing the controller to be a love letter to console gaming. It will have everything you've learned to love: fast buttons, triggers, laser-precise analog sticks, a D-Pad – and it will have a touchpad for any games making the trek from mobile or tablet to the TV. It'll be just the right weight. We are working with select developers to play-test the controller through development.  We call it 'the Stradivarius of controllers,' and we hope developers will be inspired to take gameplay to a new level with it."
Hacking?
"Have at it: It's easy to root (and rooting won't void your warranty). Everything opens with standard screws. Hardware hackers can create their own peripherals, and connect via USB or Bluetooth. You want our hardware design? Let us know. We might just give it to you. Surprise us!"
Here is the kickstarter page please order some now http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ouya/ouya-a-new-kind-of-video-game-console#
I'll try to acquire one of these before launch but on a scale of no job to broke budget right now I'm not sure.

Diablo 3: Making Changes

Hey guys, I know a few people have been disappointing since patch 1.0.3 but I got some good news here. Bashiok said We recognize that the item hunt is just not enough for a long-term sustainable end-game. There are still tons of people playing every day and week, and playing a lot, but eventually they're going to run out of stuff to do (if they haven't already). Killing enemies and finding items is a lot of fun, and we think we have a lot of the systems surrounding that right, or at least on the right path with a few corrections and tweaks. But honestly Diablo III is not World of Warcraft. We aren't going to be able to pump out tons of new systems and content every couple months. There needs to be something else that keeps people engaged, and we know it's not there right now.

We're working toward 1.0.4, which we're really trying to pack with as many fixes and changes we can to help you guys out (and we'll have a bunch of articles posted with all the details as we get closer), and we're of course working on 1.1 with PvP arenas. I think both those patches will do a lot to give people things to do, and get them excited about playing, but they're not going to be a real end-game solution, at least not what we would expect out of a proper end-game. We have some ideas for progression systems, but honestly it's a huge feature if we want to try to do it right, and not something we could envision being possible until well after 1.1 which it itself still a ways out.

So maybe we will be gettin some good patches. I'll try to keep up with new info.
