Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Watch-With-Me session Tonight at 8pm ET

As you may know, Marvel's new TV series, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. premiers tonight. I decided to do something special for the first modern live action Marvel TV series. I'm launching a  new page, which will be under the "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. WWM" tab. It's the same URL, so its not a completely different blog. Pretty much what I'm going to be doing is recording down some of my thought, ideas, and recent happenings on the show live right on that tab. Feel free to watch the show, and follow along with my ideas on this blog. If you have a delay, and can't follow my thoughts, its always fun to look back and see questions that have already been answered, and see what I was feeling at that specific moment in time. The show is going to be epic, which means I won't actually be posting during the actual show, I will, however be posting my questions during the commercials. If the answer to a question is revealed, than I will post during the show. I would also post during the show if Something really amazing happened or something epic that can't wait to be talked about. Spoilers will be revealed, so don't read this as a backup to the show if you can't watch it. I guess that pretty much wraps up what I have to say. Lets enjoy the new show together.

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Premieres tonight (Tuesday, September 24th) at 8/7c and ends at 9/8c. I would highly recommend kids secretly watching it from a mobile device if they have to go to bed. Who needs school? This is going to be awesome!


Also, If you want to comment with your ideas, feel free, but there is absolutely no obligation to do so. I know when your watching TV you really don't want to stop what your doing do right out your whole thought. I would not be surprised or sad if there aren't any comments. That just means you are too amused in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Which makes me happy. :)

Review: Logitech m325 Wireless Mouse


For a long time I've has a mouse with a wire sticking out the front, it wasn't very good for gaming, it squeaked, and it overall wasn't a very good mouse, or at least not anymore. I decided that I was sick of it, especially after playing Minecraft with it for eight months. I just recently got a hold on a really nice one from OfficeMax. I wanted a really high quality mouse, and i didn't really find the right mouse at Walmart or anywhere. I know a lot about technology but I don't know the exact name of every mouse brand out there. That would be weird, but I found a really nice one with great sensitivity and reception, a Logitech m325. It is really easy to install, all you need is a USB plug and your pretty much good to go. I remember seeing one somewhere that has a whole separate reception box or something that would be a waste of time hooking up.
This mouse comes with, well, the mouse, and the USB unifying receiver. As you can see, the receiver is barely visible. This is especially nice with a laptop. However, the mouse is also smaller so may take time to get use to, trackball mouses in particular.
The many functions of this mouse make it more user-friendly. It is also really nice to use when browsing the Internet. On most older mouses, the scroll bar was used to scroll up and down a page in multiple ways. Now, you can go forward or back a page by tilting the scroll bar from left to right. However, this does not decrease the time it takes to load the previous or next page. In case you didn't know, that all relies on your internet speed. The Logitech m325 makes a great gaming mouse. Playing minecraft with this thing is great. scrolling through items in your utility bar is now way faster, THis mouse will automatically set your sensitivity about 30% percent higher, I have no idea why. And also, Idon't know if this is just a me thing, but my mouse booted up my framerate by about 15 frames, so if that's all mouses, than, well, that's a plus.

I think I've just about covered everything I need to about this product. These are all of my thoughts, I'm not leaving anything out. This mouse is easily a 9.5/10

A Screenshot Tour of MY Minecraft Survival World

You've been living in the shadows for so long. Finally, you get a tour of my minecraft house. Let's go!



This is a top view of my Minecraft house. I live in a desert temple, in the middle of three biomes! It took me about 6 months to completely update and modernize the desert temple to feel like home.


Here's the front view. It's awesome. I have a mob watchtower, a basement (unseen), and enough room for my horses to walk around inside.

lol. I have a Nether Portal. And in my free time I search for a stronghold. My house isn't the only impressive part of my world. As you can see below. I created a unique piston garden. unlike Sethbling or Antvenom. I created pressure plates that I walk across, and pistons push the fruit out into water and hoppers on either sides. It's fully functional and is a great way to get food. especially during a long night of hunting. The hardest part is coacoa beans. but they take 3 minutes at max.

It's a lot of fun. And when I get a lot of bonemeal. I can get stacks of crops in minutes.

This was my old house. It was nice and all, but it didn't meet all my needs and expecrations that were required for my house.Don't worry, I play survival legit. This was when I took screenshots in creative to get better angles. This was before I knew about F1. I moved a total of 890876 blocks according to my F3 menu. I did some legit math.I took my ender chest and my diamonds and went out for a fresh start. I blew up this house before I left. for sentimental reasons. I didn't want to be tempted to find my way back. I survived. and so did my 10 cats and 1 wolf. That water thing in the front was a mob trap. I have a much more efficiant one now. Oh, and I actually has 34791 levels of xp. I tried to beat the survival record until i died without keepinventory on. I usually doon't play with keepinventory on. Like I said, I play legit.


I think taht pretty much wraps up my survival world. I'm pretty much living in flightless creative now. I have maybe 10 stacks of each resource. except diamond... I'm working on that

"Avengers: Age of Ultron" Special News: James Spader Cast as Ultron


Lincoln actor James Spader has just been cast as the major villain in "Avengers: Age of Ultron". We originally thought that  Vin Diesel was secretly cast as Ultron, until he was confirmed as the voice of Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy. I personally think that James Spader would be near the bottom of my casting list. I don't know who I would pick, but it wouldn't be him. But there is a lot more back-story behind this character. As Joss Whedon announced that they would be creating their own origin story completely unrelated to Ant-Man. So far we know that Tony Stark will create Ultron, and we know that JARVIS will have a big role in the film. "Movie detectives" from Geek Magazine came up with the idea that JARVIS will evolve into Ultron. We know that Ultron's body will still be made completely of Adamantium, the indestructible metal that Wolverine's claws and skeleton are made of. Thanos will still be in "The Avengers: Age of Ultron as a supporting villain. Thanos will also be the Major villain in Guardians of the Galaxy.
In conclusion, James Spader will be Ultron, and the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe is expanding, and to wrap up this wrap up, here are the release dates in the future of the MCU.

"Thor: The Dark World" November 8th, 2013
"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" April 4th, 2014
"Guardians of the Galaxy" August 1st, 2014
"The Avengers: Age of Ultron" May 1st, 2015
"Ant-Man" November 6th 2015.

Potential Projects:
Doctor Strange (Confirmed)
Iron Fist
Black Panther
The Runaways.

Superhero News Wrap-Up 8.25.13

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. gets closer and closer to airing. Will you be watching? Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. premieres Tuesday, September 24, @8:00 pm ET on ABC. We are all looking forward to figuring out how and why Agent Coulson is still alive. Unfortunately, that will not be revealed in the Pilot. But that only makes us want to watch this new series even more.

In a different universe, all rumors have been put to rest because Ben Affleck is going to be the all new Batman in Man of Steel 2. He will portray an older and more tech savvy Batman, but still remain in Christopher Nolan's Universe. In a way, Christian Bale is passing down the torch, to "Bat Affleck", let's hope for the best. I personally think Ben Affleck will be a terrible Batman, considering he already ruined Daredevil, and how many people these days want every actor who's ever played a superhero to do it again as a different hero. Chris Even's is already The Human Torch and now Captain America, Ryan Reynolds was Deadpool but NOPE! Not enough, He was also Green Lantern. And he ruined both of them. I have High hopes for Ben Batfleck, But I highly doubt they will come true.

In other news, Joseph Gordon-Levitt has not said anything about returning as Nightwing/Robin. But we have to remember that Batman vs. Superman is a Man of Steel Sequel, but a Batman sequel, so a Nightwing absence wouldn't exactly be a shock.

Back to the Marvel world. If you haven't already read Infinity #1, I recommend that you do. Infinity is a Marvel Comic 6-Part Event Series that just began less than 2 weeks ago. Beginning with Infinity #1. My review should be right below this post so I'm not going to link it. Infinity #2 Cover reveal is old news, but official images of Parts 3 and 4 are floating around Google Images. 



Other than that, Kick-Ass 2 was terrible, Universal announced that they own the rights to Namor, and that Batman franchise lives on because Beware the Batman, Cartoon Network's new hit series is becoming one of the stations most watched shows.

That's all for now, Thanks for reading and all the amazing comments.

Marvel’s Infinity #1 Review

I was able to pick up a copy of this new comic on release day. It took me a week to gather my thoughts on it. I was actually really excited ever since I got the Infinity Preview at during Free Comic Book Day last May. Once I got my hands on it, I could tell it was going to be epic. Jim Cheung’s art and Mark Morales colors made the event more exciting. I also have to say that in my opinion, the Infinity story was/is Jonathan Hickman’s Masterpiece. I read it a few times and had to make up my mind. That’s why it took almost a week to write this review. I haven’t read the Tie-ns yet, by I hate to say that they probably aren’t nearly as good as this. Avengers and New Avengers are excellent series, so I expect great things. I haven’t read a single Thunderbolts, Captain Marvel or Avengers Assemble. I could easily see Marvel’s Infinity replace Marvel Now. Then I would think that The New 52 is going down! I want to see more of these movie-like storylines in the future. That’s why I can’t wait until September 4th, the release of Infinity #2. I’m hoping and expecting another round of Hickman and Cheung, along with the amazing talents they bring to the Comic Event. Whenever I do a review, I like to put one of thise Blue-Ray cover quotes. Obviously this will never go anywhere but it’s funny doing it.

I have not Given up On You!

It has been almost 2 weeks since I've posted anything. I want to just take a brake. Just maybe for another week. I might post a few things, but just because I'm winding down from summer. Cubed, I promised to do it all summer. But I need a break. It WILL happen monthly during the school year.
