Derby City ComicCon: Big news!

Well first off, Nerds Socialize will be covering the event! so we're excited. Sadly it's for only one pass, but we can make it work! Secondly, Derby City ComicCon's owner Chuck Moore has announced that they'll be hosting ANOTHER event in November! November 22nd to be exact!

This new even will be known as the "Cavalcade of Comics" Presented by Derby City ComicCon. it will have a much deeper tie in with a shopping oriented atmosphere (though for a convention, that's almost always a given! :-D). They also hope to wrangle in some regional art for the event as well, which is a top notch idea in my opinion, And as a staple for any and all comic conventions, there will be a wide variety of comic book creators at the event. They timing for the event, as they explain, is to get people to get their shop on before the holidays. And another great thing this event yields, is that it will feature LOCAL shops, artists, ect. This is a great thing, especially for our Derby City.

It is truly nice to see a group of people put something together to try and support the local community where I live. It's odd that just about 6 years ago, there were hardly ANY conventions near the Derby City, and now were have a few that we all look forward to every year. In fact Derby City ComicCon was the first convention I went to in Louisville. It wasn't the biggest, or most glamorous convention in the world, but the fact it was close to home created a HUGE buzz. Actually, I was third in line for my ticket that day, and my friend Scardy was first, followed by our mutual friend Link_Girl.

I actually Found the comic that Featured Deadpools First apperance (MY FAVORITE MARVEL CHARACTER!). the guy wanted $150 for it. I jokingly told the guy "M... maybe $5?" he laughed at me lol. But then he was like "hmmm... I could do $50". I WAS SO TEMPTED! but sadly I had to restrain my nerdiness.

BUT ever since that first convention, even though it wasn't huge and glamorous, it created a  buzz that has started to attract more events that I attend now, and on top of that, Derby City ComicCon has grown each year it has been in Louisville, and looks to be a thing we will continue to look forward to each year.

If you're interesting in the "Cavalcade of Comics", here's the info!:
Taking place Saturday, November 22nd, 2014 at Ramada Plaza Louisville - Triple Crown Pavilion (9700 Bluegrass Parkway, Louisville, KY) the Cavalcade of Comics will be a companion show to our annual primary convention and offers a unique mix of comic book focused fun to enjoy.

We hope to see you there folks!

Pony's Blizzard UPDATE!

WELL HI THERE MY LOVELY NERDS AND NERDETTES!

It's Pony here, and sorry for the lack of NOT being around. Many new things are happening for me so I've been a tad busy. But I've got a full run down of Blizzard Entertainment goodies to race through, so lets get it started!

1) In order to hold us WoW players over until the release of the next expansion, Blizzard released another patch with a new PvP season. I'm currently a week behind most hardcore Arena kids, but that's life.

2) Blizzard released Reaper of Souls today, the expansion pack to Diablo III. I've put about an hour into it so far and I'm so very pleased with it.

3) Hearthstone, Blizzard's digital card game, went live a few weeks back. And they are giving players a mount (the 'Hearthsteed') to those that win three (3) played matches outside of the starting quests.

4) This is the big one for me. At Blizzcon it was announced that Blizzard was going to be put out a DOTA style game. Think League of Legends if you play that. As soon as I heard that news I rushed to my account page and opted in to be a Beta tester for Heroes of the Storm. Not only did I get in as a Beta tester, but I'm in the ALPHA!!! So freakin' excited about this.

And one more thing. It's not Blizzard related, but this guy is nothing but hunk. (Sorry guys, had to say it. Afterall, I'm the only chick admin.) jason Momoa will be at the Louisville Comic Con!!!! Wait... you don't know him? *explodes*

I first saw this chunk of man meat while he was on Stargate: Atlantis. Then I took so much note when he was in season 1 of Game of Thrones. He played Conan in the reboot of Conan the Barbarian. He has some more movies that are currently in post and pre production.

Plus he's hot.

ANYWAY!

That is my update. And just in time. My Heroes of the Storm finished installing. And this will play hell on me wanting to go to bed early tonight.s

World of Warcraft movie UPDATE!!!!

OMG! OMG! OMG! Hot diggity Thrall Balls!!!! And by that I mean those ungodly monkish beads he wears now a days. Oh yea, Pony here. OMG! 

So the Warcraft movie have been delayed to release in 2016. But this is Blizzard and I'm not surprised at all. BUT!!! And this is a big one. The cast for the movie is coming together. 

Ben Foster, Toby Kebbell, Rob Kazinsky & Dominic Cooper Cast in 'Warcraft' Movie.

This is becoming even more real as the days go by and I'm SO EXCITED! Yea i have to wait until 2016 to see it, but WHO CARES?!

Blizzcon Update 1!

AS promised, Pony here, and I am going to start updating what I have seen so far at BLIZZCON! First up, this is the last panel that I saw, a panel on Heros of the Storm. This is a general idea of what this is about. It is a MOBA game. MOBA is Multiplayer Online Battle Arena. If you play LoL (League of Legends), then HotS will be a competitor of it. Which I find Funny, because LoL essentially derived from a Warcraft 3 custom multiplayer map called "DotA" or also know as "Defenders Of the Ancients". DotA even had a song made about it back in the day by a Swedish band called Basshunter (link below, you know you can't resist!)

Here is the MMO Champion overview of HotS. Overview



ALSO! We have more information on the new expansion of WoW. As I stated a few days ago, Warlords of Draenor have been trade marked in a few countries. WELP! It's the real deal. There are no new races nor classed for the fifth expansion of WoW, but really, who needs 'em? there will be MUCH more to come you guys, so stay tuned!

Again, here is the MMO Champion overview of the next chapter in WoW. Overview


Trailer as follows:
