Just Plain Geekery: The Zombie Edition

It's the time again, it's time for the weekly Just Plain Geekery post, where I share with you five things I found around the internet. I am not paid to do this by any of the shops or companies I share on here. These are just things I found that I think are pretty awesome, and want to expose you to them as well.

Do you have any awesome zombie geekery? Have you found any essentials while surfing the internet? Let's talk about it down in the comments.

Magicka

Review Time!

Magicka

You know, when the BF told me that Magicka would infuriate me I bought it anyway just to prove him wrong.

...

He was right.

Especially in the multiplayer, where more often than not you end up killing your partners. And in a huge battle where you're trying to bring them back and keep yourself from like exploding, it is annoying. I had issues with the multiplayer, now I'm not sure if it was because my internet connection was a picky little bitch that day, or because of the serves themselves. 

I ran in several glitches while playing Magicka, one of which was my character getting stuck. I could not move, could not cast, couldn't do anything. This happened a lot after cut scenes, and the only way out of it was to wait until I died, or jump out of the game and back in, which, as you imagine gets a little tiring after a while. Another issue I had was with the game randomly crashing, on single and multiplayer. 

Ok, so this review isn't going to be the greatest thing in the world, but this is just my experience with the game. I'm sure there are people who are much, much, better at this game than I am. Well, much much better than me at gaming period, but anyway.

The spell system confused me, maybe it's just because I can't memorize the spells or combine them quick enough or what. I'm not sure. But I found it infuriating, I'd try to cast a haste spell, and have to do it four times in order for it to get it right. I found that it reacted slowly to my key pressing and when it didn't it doubled up on earth when I'd pressed earth and fire. 

Needless to say, aside from the rage factor I did enjoy this game occasionally. But, I like rage games, so that could probably be it. I'm sorry this review is so short for once, but I don't have that much to say about this game, I'm sure other people liked it much more than I do. But, it passes the time.

You never know when you might want a little superhero wrapped candy. I think these would be great for Halloween to give out to the kids, well, maybe only a few kids because wrapping an entire box of mini chocolate bars in this might take for ever.

Borderlands 2

Partial Review Time!!

Borderlands 2

Borderlands 2 is the sequel of Borderlands, it was released in 2012 published by 2K Games developed by Gearbox Software. It is set five years after the first game and starts you off with you waking up in the rubble with Claptrap digging through the remains not far away. 

I'm just going to interrupt myself here by saying, I freakin' love Claptrap and yes, I did complete his birthday party side quest and dance with him. Who wouldn't? Claptrap is amazing. And yes, I might have almost blown him up but...*cough* anyway. 

I haven't played the single player part of Borderlands 2, and it's honestly some of the best multiplayer that I've ever played. Then again, I don't play a lot of multiplayer so don't bite my head off. 

The art style of the background and all the characters is amazing, the little transitions that flash across your screen whenever you meet a new character with their name, picture, and nickname is one of my favourite parts. And I have to say Tiny Tina's is my favourite, but you'll hear me talk about her later because to me she was a HUGE part of the experience. 

Yes, this is another partial review, why? Because I haven't finished the game yet. Why? Because I haven't yet. 

I have to admit in multiplayer that ability to challenge your partner was a feature that the BF and I made use of, mainly while waiting for something, or when we were bored. And I am not going to admit how many times I won or lost, because frankly, that'd just be embarrassing. 

The voice acting in Borderlands was great,  my favourite though is Tiny Tina and Claptrap, I'm not sure why but hey they're my favourite characters. I'll have to get my hands on the DLC for Tiny Tina, because hello? Who can resist a slightly psychotic teenage girl with explosives and tea parties? I'm a fan of the combat as well, which is strange because usually I have a lot of issues with combat in games, but I loved this combat system. 

I am just babbling now. Hopefully, I will get around to doing a single player campaign review of this as well.

Gamer Spotlight #1

Welcome, welcome, to the first ever Gamer Spotlight on GGP. For this feature I have picked a youtuber, who I believe is funny, talented, and most of all entertaining. Now remember, you have the chance to affect next months Gamer Spotlight, by commenting below and letting me know who your nominations for the next month are.

But enough talking from me, without further ado...

Jesse Cox

Jesse Cox is the youtuber who also goes by OMFGcata, he is also a co-host on the TGS Podcast, along side TotalBiscuit and Dodger Leigh. By clicking on his name over there, it'll take you to his youtube page. 

The first time I heard about Jesse was during a Nerdy Nummies episode ( if you've been here from the beginning you might remember that Nerdy Nummies is the baking show for nerds on Youtube, run by the lovely Rosanna Pansino). After the cupcake fail where I couldn't stop laughing and the voices he does during the episode, I decided to check out his channel. 

If you are looking for a really good laugh, you must watch some of Jesse's videos. He has done a bunch of colabs with Dodger, TotalBiscuit, and many others, but watching his solo Let's Plays are just as hilarious. Seriously, some of the episodes had me crying I was laughing so hard. Jesse is also a voice actor, which let's face it makes his play throughs even more entertaining.

So, I will leave you with a video from my favourite video game series he's done, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the humour.
