From the couch front, to the Battlefield 4!

By Mr. Grey

Everything hurts... My feet, the scars on my face, and hell, I think even my boots feel like they're hurting... And at the forefront of my mind is how hungry I am getting. One can't help bu feel hungry when they are beat, electrocuted, and forced to watch one of your friends get his teeth knocked in. Funny thing is, we did not give them any information. The funny thing is Irish would have spilled his guts for some food, but all that is in the past now. Out objective, we must destroy the dam! I pick up my very expensive, and very fancy PLD (Portable Laser Designator).

I see at least fifteen enemies, with another hundred yards or more to cover as more enemies hide, each one wanting our heads impaled on a stick. I can still hear Irish and Hana fighting about where we should plant the C4. I get very tired of this and pick out two enemies that had wondered off by themselves. I grab my Steyr Scout Elite sniper rifle I hold my breath and let the bullet travel to the first target. He felt nothing as I quickly found the second one in my sights. I follow and lead him as he RUNS OFF the dam!

I switch to my PLD and watch as he lands on the ground safely and still continues to run. I pause my game. Great another thing I can add to the list of crap that has happened on battlefield 4. So far the list of bugs I have found in this game is as follows:

three times my memory and game progress has been wiped along with the awards I worked hard to achieve. So I had to start all over again, I even had to pull an all nighter to get this done. Even so, I tripped up two times in the process. It got to be such a problem that I had to report the problems to Sony. But even then, I had to pick up the game and fight my way through enemies that I already killed before. Another time, as I was climbing up a ladder, I glitched through Irish. After that, I got tossed through the air, landing on a pile of sharp pointy rubble that was on fire. I was stuck, and could not escape as the fire began killing me. Basically this forced me to restart again...

So what do I think of Battlefield 4's storyline? Over all it is good, but having to watch the same crap over and over thanks to all those glitches got old fast. This really does not feel well knowing that the game was not finished. It's nice that they got multi-player polished up, but the holes left in the other aspects of the game made it frustrating. Like the game crashing, and losing memory files. But if one of you were to buy this game, more than likely you are getting it for the multi-player, which they were ACTUALLY able to get done in time. So my question is, when will the new “Battlefield: Bad Company” come out? will they ever finish that story? All questions we want answers to, and so far... no answers... *sigh*

Please forgive my shyness. I normally don't do videos of me talking in front of the camera about stuff, unless I've got it all planned out. as you can see, this is not the case. There is about a whole 3 minutes before I started to podcast where I just couldn't do it. I'll post that video up later. Enjoy guys!

There is also a video of this podcast that will be up very soon. and a video of me being extremely nervous before hand. so stay tuned for that folks!

Episode 4

The War Doctor's FULL Regeneration

Okay BBC, take notes, THIS is how that scene SHOULD have been done! I was like "OOH OH! THEY'RE GONNA SHOW IT! THEY'RE GONNA SHOW IT!!!....... WHAT THE FUCK?! THEY DIDN'T SHOW IT?!"

Needless to say, I was perturbed. BUT this is how it should've been, and kudos to whoever did this!

We here at Nerds Socialize just happen to let life take hold sometimes, and we things get crazy. but we got things back up and running once more! we've put a lot more into the works now, aside from the podcast. J-Foo is doing some "Let's play" segments and is still working on retro video game reviews. We have a few more things in mind as well. But for now, please enjoy our third episode! Our Residential WoW Guru Pony is the guest on this episode, and we talk about some really good subjects!

Episode 3

What makes you WoW and Nerdy?

HEEEELLLLLOOOOOO Ladies and Gents, it is I, Pony, your lovely Blizzard Entertainment guru. But I’m not talking about Blizzard in this post. Nope! I wanted to touch base on something else. I am a bit of a nerd, I mean come on, I would not be here if I was not. But then I got to thinking, what is a ‘Nerd’? To start things off, I’m going to actually quote Merriam-Webster here: “nerd \noun\ˈnərd\: a person who behaves awkwardly around other people and usually has unstylish clothes, hair, etc.
 a person who is very interested in technical subjects, computers, etc.”

And here is one from Urban Dictionary, there are a few on there actually, but this is the one that I personally enjoy:
“A person who gains pleasure from amassing large quantities of knowledge about subjects often too detailed or complicated for most other people to be bothered with.”

Now, I gave you these just to give you an idea of what the written definition happens to be in some circles. And this is the reason I favor the one from Urban Dictionary, I am a WoW LoreWhore. Yes, we have coined the phrase. But in this aspect, I am a nerd. I am a person that enjoys learning about the Lore of World of Warcraft. I find it very interesting. It is also why I play on a Role Playing server. I not only get to learn the Lore, but I get to interject into my server’s lore. I get to be a part of it.

Two years ago I was a part of a major RP-PvP guild on the Alliance side of the Moon Guard server. I was an officer in said guild and we were able to add a whole new layer to the server’s lore based within the actual lore of the WoW universe. I would spend many hours theory crafting with the other members of my guild as well as other guilds all together. This is one of the things that made, and added to me being a nerd. And I’m fine with that. I met GREAT people this way.

My best friend in the world is a guy I met in WoW. I’ve been to his house, met his wife and daughter, and even entertained the idea of moving in with them at one point. We are still the best of friends, despite not talking every day. We pick up where we left off. I guess I wanted to give a bit of an insight into why I am a nerd, what makes me that oh so loved four letter word. So, I send this challenge to you, what, in your own words, makes you the nerd you are today? Was it gaming? Computers? Comic books? What is the reason you are a nerd? I have my reason and I love it greatly.

Comment below, I would enjoy the reading.

WOW news: 5.4, IT'S HERE!
