Monday Meanderings: Of Avengers and Magic

Apr 302012

Monday Meanderings hopes to break up the Monday Morning Monotony by bringing you a quick run-down on notable things occurring in the various geek sub-cultures at large.

Guild Wars is Seven Years Old!
The in-game celebration for Guild Wars is still ongoing 🙂

Darknes Falls, Heroes Rise
Blizzard is unveiling the Wizard this week as the last class for the launch event leading up to Diablo III’s release. The Wizard is your typical too-cool-for-school renegade in Diablo III. They also finally released the TV ad for it.

The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists
The Pirates! Band of Misfits made its premier last week on the 27th.

The Avengers
On May 4th The Avengers finally hits theatres and I’m expecting a Hulk Smash Hit (giggle). Considering how much has gone in to all the movies leading up to this one I truly have high expectations for it.

Avacyn Restored
Also, Avacyn is released this Friday as part of Friday Night Magic. The latest expansion for Magic sees the freed angel Avacyn returned to fight back the tides of darkness that have been mostly unchecked in the last two expansions.

Also to the right side of the page is a list of upcoming events and releases. If you know of something geeky and noteworthy that should belong there or have a suggestion for something to post on Monday Meanderings please let us know!

Monday Meanderings hopes to break up the Monday Morning Monotony by bringing you a quick run-down on notable things occurring in the various geek sub-cultures at large.

Guild Wars is Seven Years Old!
Frak! How did that happen? I remember buying that game after graduating college. Anyhow, there’s a huge in-game celebration to mark this memorable milestone of one of the MMO genre’s most enduring games.

Darknes Falls, Heroes Rise
Blizzard has unveiled the fourth class in its special launch event for Diablo III. This week we’re treated to a biography of the Witch Doctor. If you plan on playing Diablo III then consider stopping by their website for some exclusive in-game banner designs.

The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists
The premier of Aardman Studios latest movie about Pirates is happening this week on April 27th here in the States under the moniker of The Pirates! Band of Misfits. If you’re into hi-jinks involving Pirates then please give it a look-see and let us know your review 🙂

The Avengers
We’ve been waiting a long time for this. We’ve seen a lot of Marvel Movies leading up to this one. Finally this highly anticipated film is just around the corner, due out in theatres on May 4th (that’s only next week!). Now I’m a tiny bit of a philistine when it comes to the greater whole of the comic book industry, so if there’s anyone out there willing to write up an Avengers related article for the site, I’d be in your debt 🙂

Avacyn Restored
My coworker has been nudging me to get back in to Magic: The Gathering, and it’s a difficult temptation to resist when expansions as beautiful as Avacyn Restored keep coming out. This latest chapter in the Multiverse of Magic is due out on May 5th, and will conclude their current saga with an uncommonly large set of cards. Enjoy M:tG enthusiasts!

Hmmm, there’s something important about today? Oh yeah. Taxes are due 🙁

Admittedly, thanks to Patriot’s Day the deadline for submitting your taxes to the IRS has been pushed off for another 24 hours, so if you’ve been dawdling then I suggest you hop to it and get it done now.

Hopefully taxes won’t leave you too tapped out this year. Get it? “Tapped” out? *snicker* whatever.

I remember when this card was new. God I'm old.

Darknes Falls, Heroes Rise
Blizzard is in to its third week of its special launch event for Diablo III. Each week giving us a run-down on one of the five character classes as we run-up to the release date. If you plan on playing Diablo III then consider stopping by their website for some exclusive in-game banner designs.

EUReKA! Premiers Tonight!
The Season Premier of the 5th and Final Season of EUReKA! airs tonight at 9pm EST.

The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists
Heads Up Matey! The latest cinematic adventure from Aardman Studios is due out April 27th here in the States under the moniker The Pirates! Band of Misfits. I guess Americans don’t know what Scientists are anymore than they do Philosopher’s Stones.

Also, we’ve added to the right side of the page a list of upcoming events and releases. If you know of something geeky and noteworthy please let us know!

[EDIT/UPDATE 4:11PM] Oh! This just in! There’s a wonderful Kickstarter project called Velociraptor! Cannibalism! It’s a stupendous game developed in part by J.R. Blackwell, the Yachting Club’s founder! Please consider heading over to their Kickstarter Page and contributing some support 🙂
