Probably the most anticipated is the reveal of Call of Duty Ghost, which looks amazing and will defiantly be a first purchase with the Xbox One for me.

EA threw their best out there with a montage of their great sports line up.

Forza 5… all I have to say about this one is, HOLY F@&#*$% S@#$ THIS LOOKS AMAZING!!!

It comes with the Kinect 2 system that has a 1080P camera, an active IR camera to track your every move in real time, and a new microphone array that will distinguish your voice from the game sounds.

Microsoft has taken the already easy to use controller and improved on it drastically to make it more responsive and added new feed back features to help immerse you into the game.

The Xbox One is designed to be an all in one system. With its HDMI inputs and outputs, and the ability to control you tv and cable box with the Kinect system it will be able to integrate all your entertainment toys together. The Xbox One will allow you to get out of your game to check the tv or answer a Skype call and then seamlessly jump right back to where you left off without missing a beat. If that’s not good enough you can also snap two things side by side and multitask the way a true gamer should.

Like I said before I’m a die hard Xbox fan and cant wait to get my hands on this one.

A cursed gunman whose victims come back from the dead recruits a young warrior to help in the fight against a gang of zombies.

Wesley Snipes is back and this time he’s killing zombies.

The film is bound to get comparisons to “Blade” and it does look like a typecast role for Snipes but you have to admit that it’s this type of character we love to see him play and if it does seem Blade-ish but with zombies instead of vampires then that’s no bad thing. Plus he’s a frickin’ cowboy in this film, how can that not be awesome?!

While I’d like to be original and off-beat with my answer to this question I cannot tell a lie, especially one that involves something that means as much to me as STAR WARS. So there it is just like probably 80% of all Nerds on this earth my favorite film series is hands down George Lucas’, sci-fi-fantasy epic, the original STAR WARS trilogy. These 3 films are more than just entertainment to me, they are a guiding light in my life. As Lucas himself said “it’s a metaphor” and yes it is.
Luke begins as a teenager on a farm who’s only dream is to get off of the planet of Tattoine. He progresses through the movies to realize his true potential as one of the wisest and most powerful beings in the galaxy. He does this by walking in the light and believing in himself. The message in this is better than most organized religions. In fact it almost is a religion to me. We are nothing more than atoms held together by the energy field that surrounds us and of course science supports this. So I try my best to use the metaphorical force in my daily life and I hope you do too. Stay Jedi, Nerds, remember the Force will always be with you.

Topic for this week’s Nerd Talk is favorite movie franchise. Okay, well I think it is safe to say all of us at Somewhatnerdy will say Star Wars. I mean I was 3 when A New Hope came out and I remember seeing it in the theatres, Of course, I remember Empire a little more clearly since I was older and it was my first “date” with my 4th grade crush, but that is not what this is about. Anyone who knows me would say Star Wars is a big part of my life and they would be correct. I live, eat, and breathe Star Wars, but I am not the only one at Somewhatnerdy that feels this way so I am going to turn the dial a little.

My favorite movie franchise is the Harrison Ford, Lucas, and Spielberg era. That not only includes the original Star Wars trilogy but it adds the Indiana Jones trilogy as well. Some of my best childhood memories are during Indiana Jones and his adventures for ancient relics. I remember when I was a child I had the original Indiana Jones figures and I would play with them at my grandmother’s house in Pittsburgh while she was watching baseball, more specifically her Pittsburgh Pirates play ball. Indiana is also one of the few films I saw with my dad. This is important because my dad was always at work when I was a child.

No matter what form whether it be VHS or DVD, the original Star Wars trilogy as well as the Indiana Jones trilogy was always the first sets I would buy. I know some of may be shocked that I took the time to talk about other movies other than Star Wars, but let’s face it, Harrison Ford kicks ass no matter what! If he is in the film, I can guarantee you I will watch it. Star Wars will definitely be the most influential movie of my life and always will, but the Indiana Jones trilogy means a lot to me as well. I hope you enjoyed my rant on this week’s version of Nerd Talk.

I’m sure my answer is an obvious one but it’s the right one, yes it’s the “Evil Dead” series (not including the newest addition). The series is jam packed full of great special effects, gore, humour and legendary one-liners, plus we have the infamous Bruce Campbell, what’s not to love?! If I’m honest this was a hard question as the Horror genre is filled with great franchises but when it comes down to it there’s no beating the “Evil Dead” series.

Bruce Campbell is amazing in anything he does (Yes I know it’s a biased thing to say but damn it I’m right!) but he’s especially fantastic in this series, the ‘Ash’ character is one of the greatest that’s been brought to screen, so you better “HAIL TO THE KING, BABY!”

Big surprise my favorite movie series is STAR WARS … all of them 1-6. No I don’t like the prequels as much as the originals but I don’t have the hate for them like most Nerds do. Really don’t have much to say here other than if you have read this site for any amount of time you know we post a ton of Star Wars stuff (HERE for 11 pages of old post) and just check out the logo … I’m a Star Wars fan for life.

Greetings fellow Nerds!  It’s time once again for one of my cosplay interviews that you love so well.  Today’s cosplayer is Jennifer Kairis and she is a cosplayer from the West Coast.  When you finish this interview, make sure to show her some love and like her page.  So let’s get started shall we?  Ladies and Gentlemen, my interview with the one and only Jennifer Kairis.

1. Who are you and where are you from?

I am Jennifer Kairis and currently reside in Los Angeles California

 2. How did you discover cosplay?

I discovered cosplay while living in Japan. I would see all the boys and girls my age and older dressing up like their favorite anime or superhero. I thought it was so cool.

 3. I really love your vampire cosplay. How did that cosplay develop?

It’s actually a take on Elizabeth Bathory. She is kind of known as the first female vampire in history. She was a Hungarian countess who murdered women for fun and bathed in their blood to keep up her youthful appearance. So I figured, if she were alive and kicking today, what would be wearing and what would she be like? I thought after centuries of drinking blood to keep herself young and living in this day in age, she would want to show off a bit of skin.

 4. I have also noticed that you have cosplayed a pretty kick ass Harley Quinn from the

Arkham games. What made you choose that version of Harley?

I’m a big fan of video games, love playing them. So I tend to gravitate to video game versions of characters I like.

5. What other genres do you cosplay?

I like do all kinds, video games for sure, comic book, historical, I also have been getting into steampunk. I did a steampunk cheshire cat and that was fun to play. I liked it so much that I already have another steampunk cosplay in the works.

6. Do you go to conventions to show off your cosplay or do you do photo shoots only?

I definitely go to conventions if I can! I love showing off my costume and I love all the little geeky odds and ends that you discover at conventions and can’t find anywhere else.

 7. Do you do other modeling besides cosplay?

 I use too, I have modeled for the car import scene and have been featured in ‘Makes and Models’ magazine and ‘Exotic Import’ Magazine and worked Hot Import Nights and SEMA. I’ve modeled clothes and swimsuits as well but it’s not as fun as cosplay modeling.

 8. What are your plans for the future?

Just to keep on cosplaying until I can’t anymore. I love to be creative, so putting together a costume or setting up a photo shoot is stuff I love to do and I just want to keep doing more of it.

9. Where can my readers see more examples of your work?

They can check out my Facebook page (don’t forget to Like while you’re there)

 10. If you had to pick one cosplay, which one is your favorite?

Probably, my vampire shoot, the photographer managed to get some cool action shots and I got to work with movie blood. It was so realistic.
