South Park: The Stick of Truth may finally come out?

After bouncing around studios due to closing, I'm sure there are some people that have been wondering whether South Park's newest game would actually be coming out. Well today, Steam posted that the game would be coming out March 4th of this year! Along with some preorder bonuses that look pretty cool. I'm definitely still looking forward to this. Are you? And what class do you think you'll play? I always prefer magic based characters. Learn more about the game here.

What's in the box! January 2014 Loot Crate

Last month, before I had a small outgoing surgery (I got a Popsicle!), I decided to do something fun for myself and started a Loot Crate subscription. Loot Crate is an online service where once a month a box is sent to your residence. Each box has a minimum of $40 worth of neat little items! This can range from stickers, to collectibles, and even T shirts! A few days ago, my first one showed up and I decided to show off what I got!

This is the box it all came in! And my fashionable Arby's glass.

Perfect! I was looking for some!

Way ahead of you, box!

Maybe this would work better in video format?

Aww thanks!

So first off is this little booklet. The theme was the new year/outer space. It had an interview, a crossword, and notes on everything inside!

First thing I grabbed was the Star Wars Galactic Phrase Book and Travel Guide. I haven't read it all yet, but it looks super fun.

The drawings are great!

Next was this General Zod figure. I didn't see Man of Steel and I'm not a big Superman fan, but it's pretty cool regardless.

Next was this NASA patch! I can't wait to put it on my laptop bag!

There was also this cool Loot Crate pin for the month!

A melting Rubik's Cube sticker. If I wasn't renting it would be on my wall!

A Star Wars game pack! This included some cards and mini figures of ships that you can assemble. I don't play the game, but the figures are cool!

A Star Trek sticker! This one may end up on my laptop.

A 2014 Minecraft calendar. I'm really hoping there's a Tower of Pimps for some month.

A code on the bottom of the box! I get it!

Everything in the box! Overall this was pretty cool to go through - candle not included sadly.

Also with the Star Wars game came these incredibly tiny dice! It'll be fun to see how long it takes for them to get lost forever.

So that was the January 2014 Loot Crate! I'm definitely glad I signed up for this service and I can't wait for next month!

Bravely Deafult's Dandy Demo!

Hey 3DS owners, still bummed about the lack of Poke Bank/Poke Transfer being available? Me too, that's why I have been checking the e shop almost daily in the hopes that I would just happen to see it available for download.  

I just want to see my Darkrai again! Let me see my boy!

But while I was checking out the e shop I stumbled across "Bravely Default," which had a demo available to try. I remembered seeing it during Nintendo's last Nintendo Direct and was interested in trying out the demo. 

Normally, I don't really care about the demos for games, but Bravely Default did some things I liked that made me want to try the demo. First off, things you do in the demo can transfer into the full game when you own it. I like that, because it makes it feel worthwhile to actually try out the demo, because playing it can help you once you start the full game. 

The second thing I like is that the quest in the demo for Bravely Default is exclusive to the demo and not part of the game. I like this idea because it feels uninteresting to play a snippet of the actual game and play that repeatedly to tie you over until the game's full release. It has its own little story that will help you feel familiar with the full world without reaching a point in the game that feels boring because you've already played it. 

For my take on the game so far, I'd say it's unclear yet. I haven't played too much yet, but I can see a lot of good from what I've played. The look of the game is wonderful. The backgrounds and world are amazing and intricate looking (it's very steampunk like and of course that catches my eye) but not over done and still feels easy to travel through.

The characters look nice too; they seem reminiscent of some of the DS Final Fantasy games, with the characters being a chibi design, without going too overboard with it. The costumes are also very cool. One thing you can do in the demo is switch classes immediately for characters, and all the designs are very unique, even changing how the clothes look between the different four characters. 

Bravely Default comes to North America February 7th, 2014
