Deadpool Movie Will Be Part of Marvel Universe
The Merc With the Mouth is about to get even more popular. It was recently announced by Marvel that Deadpool will be part of the X-Men Universe. This means that it is very likely you will see Deadpool in upcoming X-Men titles and vice versa. From the looks of their test videos, this Deadpool will be much more faithful to the original than what has appeared in X-Men in the past. The test video is available on right here if you havn't seen it yet.
Many may have been worried that Disney buying Marvel would be bad for the franchise and it appears Disney is doing everything in its power to let us know, it is all going to be ok :)

Incoming Windows 10 Fixes Windows 8.1?
Perhaps! Windows announced in their blog a few interesting features that Windows 10 is going to implement. After the infamously panned windows 8 and the slightly better received windows 8.1, Microsoft needed to make a big change to the way things work. In fact, Windows appears to have so much confidence in this new version. they completely skipped Windows 9.
Some of the new features mentioned on windows 10, are the ability to resize apps and open them just as you would regular programs, a quadrant snap layout where you can have 4 separate windows snap to take up exactly 1/4 of the screen each, and a deeply customizable start menu. However this start menu does not appear to be completely different from the desktop itself as it was in windows 8. This is a welcome change to this blogger. We will learn more as time moves on but the future looks bright for Windows 10.

Tricks to Get Games Cheap
So if you like gaming but you have a budget, sometimes it seems silly when you have to spend $30-$70 per game. There are however, simple ways to make $30 into not just 1 game but 2 or 3 or even more! Here's a quick guide on how to do it.
If you can help it, don't buy new games. $60 for one video game is just not worth it. If you just wait a few weeks, you can save around $15 on that game. Even more if you wait longer.
Use Pawn Shops. Some Pawn shops have games cheaper there than ANYWHERE online. Especially physical console games.
Save a search for on ebay. Create a search on ebay for games from $1-$15 and include all of the gaming consoles you posses and order it by "Ending soonest"
If you are a PC Gamer, use cheapshark. Cheapshark is an awesome way to find cheap PC game downloads. It updates all of the time and has all of the deals from the top game retailers online. http://www.cheapshark.com/browse?sortBy=Savings
If you are a PC Gamer, use Kinguin and G2A. Kinguin and G2A sell extremely cheap Steam keys! So cheap in fact that you can actually make a bit of money just buying and re-selling them because not many people know about these sites.
Use Reddit. If you know what reddit is, then you probably know there is a gamedeals sub-reddit that you can go on and see all of the game deals other people have found. It is however, very disorganized
Become a PC Gamer and get steam. If you buy alot of games, this WILL save you money. But if you don't . . . it may not be worth it. This one is kinda just preference.
I hope this guide helps you save money and i hope that this blog may continue to provide you with valuable information.

Video Game Review: Disgaea 4 (PS3)
Story
Disgaea 4 is a truly new take on a strategy action JRPG. Ripping a page from Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy Tactics, this game still manages to set itself apart from those, and other games in its genre. The story takes place with you under control of a sardine loving vampire by the name of Valvatorez and his devoted, werewolf steward Fenrich as you try to gain control of the Netherworld. Throughout the story you will encounter many unique characters and creatures both hilarious, and incredibly annoying. Although downright ridiculous at times, the story gets quite deep and has many interesting twists that keep the player interested. This coupled with an extremely unique gameplay makes Disgaea 4 a nice breath of fresh air from the conventional strategy RPG.
Gameplay
The strategy in this game is incredibly in depth with almost limitless character customization. Weapons are upgradable past level 100, attributes upgradable to 999,999,999 and the level of your character able to reach level 9,999. With all of these upgrades available, you can spend hundreds of hours playing this game and still not get everything. You can create humanoid demons or monster demons which adds another layer of strategy. The monster demons are able to morph together and transform into weapons for use by the humanoids. The non-monster demons may lift other characters and hold monsters as weapons. This along with other elements in game makes it a superb strategy.
Music
The music is unique and fits with the story well. It is incredibly variant and everyone who plays it probably has a different favorite song. There is just one small issue. Whenever you go to your base to shop and choose what you want to do, the same song will play over and over and over until you earn the ability to change it much later in the game. This isn't an incredibly large issue but after you beat the game, you will be in your base a lot. So this may cause some headaches for those who plays 6 or 7 or 10 hours at a time.
Art
The anime styled art scheme is incredibly well done and well colored. Not once do you get sick of seeing the same place over and over because the areas are so different, and you will be visiting different ones so often for so many reasons, it will never be a problem. The only reason a person may have a quarrel with the visual design of this game is because different angles may be blocked off by certain landmarks and it can occasionally be difficult to see what is going on. Although these problems are so few and far between they aren't really an issue.
Overall
Even with minor kinks here and there this game accomplished exactly what it set out to do. Be an over the top, strategy JRPG with a hilarious story, unique and interesting characters, and gameplay that will last you hundreds of hours. Along with the fact it only costs $19.99 online as of the date of this review, it is a must have for anime lovers, strategy lovers and people who just have alot of time on their hands. However if you are looking for a strong, interesting, in depth story, this game may not be for you. It won't replace all of the other games in your collection but as far as strategy goes, it cannot be beat. I give it an 8.7 out of 10.

Akira (DVD)
I did this particular item because i recently saw it at my neighborhood Walmart for just $10. Now that might seem like a fair price for a movie that came out more than 2 decades ago but when i saw this particular movie, i thought it was a STEAL!
Akira is considered a classic by many fans of anime. While this movie may not seem like it is of the anime art style, this is one of the things that is so appealing about it. Akira has an animation and art style unlike any other movie that this reviewer has ever seen. It was made with amazing attention to detail. So much so that the visuals still hold up today. With updated visuals and English voice acting by the wonderful people at Funimation, this movie is better than ever.
It is really difficult to explain this movie without giving away important spoilers. And me being a person who went into this movie completely blind, i believe that might just be the best way to go about it. Just know that it is NOT for little children. There is swearing, there is violence. Anyway, if you like anime AT ALL, this is a must have for your collection. Being an anime lover and not having this movie is like being a sci-fi lover but never having seen Star Wars. You just should. No 2 ways about it.

Razer Naga Molten Gaming Mouse
This is speaking from the perspective of someone whom before this mouse, was using the cheap mouses that come with the computer for my gaming and other needs. The Razer Naga Molten is definitely a step up from any mouse I have ever used before.
The Razer Naga Molten is immediately a joy to the eye as soon as it is seen. Being about as far away from conservative as you can get as far as looks go, this mouse has red LEDs on its wheel, 12 numerical mouse buttons, and the (breathing optional) Razer logo in the middle where your palm rests
All of the keys are programmable with the included software that comes with the mouse. This is great MMORPGs especially because you can hot-key all of your abilities to your mouse. I also found myself using it in games like Borderlands and Blazblu Calamity Trigger for easy access to keys that may normally seem a bit awkward or to execute combos with ease. Results may vary but me, having small hands, this mouse fits absolutely perfectly in my hand. When my hand is on the mouse, my thumb is automatically in the perfect position to hit most of the 12 buttons on the side. Thats not to say that this doesn't take getting used to though.
The responsiveness is fantastic. Me being on my computer all day, everyday, i have NEVER had any problem with my mouse not detecting movement or having a hard time gliding across the mouse pad.
This item is not for those who may not need 12 number keys on the side of their mouse or people who don't like a flashy looking mouse. If you are looking for more of a middle ground, i would recommend the Razer Deathstalker mouse although, that is only available in green as of now.
