My Second Thirty Seconds to Mars Concert

Are you jealous?  You should be!  Thirty Seconds to Mars put on awesome concerts.  They do require patience, as they build to a slow burn but it explodes and stays at high energy with fantastic music. In case you live under a rock, let's start by introducing the band: Thirty Seconds to Mars is currently Jared Leto (frontman, lead singer/guitarist/songwriter, creative director) and his brother Shannon Leto (drums, rhythm, remixes, singer, songwriter, Jared's anchor).  My personal head canon is that Jared, who is secretly a vampire, drains his other bandmembers and makes them retire when they are too drained, but of course they all still like him.  Tomo Miličević joins Matt Wachter and Solon Bixler in retiring for non-specific but still staying friends with the Letos reasons.  Okay, Matt and Solon left for health reasons and Tomo recently got married, so they probably have perfectly normal reasons for not continuing to tour, but my head canon is funnier. Anyway, I got to se

Review: Years late to the party, Heroes of the Storm is fun and worth playing

Have you played Heroes of the Storm ?  It's Blizzard's brawler... MOBA... collectible... what genre is this game, even?  Well, it's fun, that's for sure.  I decided to test it out after binging on trailers   (don't do it, the rabbit hole is deep! but fun) and realizing that I have never played HotS, but I have played other Blizzard games.  So I figured I would give it a try. I knew that I would be starting off at a huge disadvantage, what with being free to play and starting at level 1 but - it doesn't matter.  What matters is if you click (not even how fast) and if you are capable of teamwork.  I made some mistakes, and - people were nice about it.  I even accidentally joined an endgame match and ruined it for my team :( but they were all pretty chill about it.  HotS has a pretty generous questing/reward system that does not specify winning.  They just want you to play.  This is the regular matches, I assume the eSports section is totally different, but I'

Bethesda made me happy at E3

Bethesda Softworks did a lot of really cool things at E3.  Like, announcing  Skyrim: Very Special Edition  and then actually  releasing it .  They also announced something that probably won't see the light of day for years, but still got a lot of people excited: Elder Scrolls 6.     It looks like it is set in High Rock, but we don't know for sure.  (I personally was hoping for Valenwood.) You might say I'm a bit of an Elder Scrolls fan. I mean, it's not like I'm addicted or anything.  I just really like the series.  Perfectly normal. Okay maybe I have a problem, but c'mon everyone likes modding.  It's fun and really hard to stop. Look, what I'm getting at here is: Elder Scrolls 6!  I CAN'T WAIT! I have a problem send help!  Specifically, someone who can make animobjects!
