Lego Batman The Videogame

Hello Gamers!

Today let’s talk about Lego Batman- the videogame

Batman as you may know is one of my guilty pleasures in life, and the same goes for Batman video games. This game is spectacular, from the animations to Steve Blum grunting- it’s truly the best you can get from a Lego game (until you can fly in the second one).  IN this game you get to be Batman, along with his many friends and something really special: the villains.

You not only get to play as batman fighting crime, you get to see the villains create the problems in a never before seen villain storyline all of its own. The villains are housed in Arkham Asylum, where you can visit using a terminal in the Batcave, where Batman works out of story mode. Both the Cave and The Asylum have many rooms to explore, and many things to discover, but most of all they’re both really cool to look at and enjoy, as we’ve never gotten a chance to explore inside of it (with the exception of Batman Arkham series). The Batcave isn’t the only place you can explore, however.

 You can also get a look of Stately Wayne Manor, which has its own puzzles and secrets to unlock throughout the game.
As the player, you get a rich and developed look at a unique storyline surrounding the Riddler, Penguin, and of course, the Joker. Each villain has their own gang and storyline or chapter if you will. As Batman, you have many suits at your disposal to help you solve puzzles in the game, each level. Some suits give you the ability to glide, some the ability to blow things in your way up, and others allow you to emit a high frequency pulse to break glass or to move plants out of your way.

As villains, you get to cause the trouble in Gotham, fighting off the police and Gordon, the police Commissioner. You can also use character creators to create your ultimate villain or hero, and you can test said character (like in all Lego games) in the levels you unlock by playing them. You can also find cheats on the web or in the game through buying them once you find them. This will come in handy for buying those big ticket items Batman and Joker really needs.

You also have a wide range of vehicles, from the Bat- bike to the Batmobile, you can test out your skills behind the wheel on many levels throughout each of the three chapters. You also have Bat- subs, Bat- Boats, Bat- copters, and Bat- Wings, not to mention Joker’s toys. You have an endless amount of potential through the vehicles and infinite choices that suits you, and your playstyle.

I would recommend Batman the Videogame to anyone who wants a nostalgic look at childhood, or simply as a good standalone game of its own. It’s the panicle of its time, and will bring anyone back to the age of childhood where the silly Batman, was the only Batman, thanks for reading.

Sick Day 2/ Learn to Fly walkthrough

Hello Nerds!

Today’s second installment from my sick ridden computer room will entail my personal strategy for Learn to fly 2.  I realize that some of you don’t like my breakthroughs, and for that I apologize, but it’s really the best I can do while fighting this bug. Here. WE. GO.

My strategy for flight on Learn To Fly 2 is simple – start a game long enough to earn bonus points, these are earned from achieving accolades in the game (such as longest flight, or highest flier) in which I first recommend you spend on your incline for the iceberg from which you thrust yourself off of. Then you can start a new game or continue from where you are it doesn't matter really, I just like to earn the height achievement to have more starting money. After that, I would invest all of my money into making the iceberg higher, then sleds and gliders, then boosts. You don’t have to spend any money on payloads, as you aren't really smashing anything yet.

Try to get as many achievements as you can, they give great money bonuses, which you should buy boosts with (or fuel for boosts). Once you buy a bobsled, then you should invest in your boosts, given that you have the second glider, you don’t need the 800 dollar one. Once you get enough money, and you've bought the bobsled, but the super light weight glider for 7500, and then the boost rocket that cost 9500 that’s also one shot, this combo has proven to get me the most money per turn.

Once you rack up bonus points get the omega designs, and once you have bought those in the bonus store, invest further points in lightweight-ness from the store, also fuel boost, money boost, and gravity.

You will get great results with this match up, especially with the omega gear on your side. I cant type anymore right now, I’ll get back to you later gamers!

Sick days/ Learn to Fly 2

Hello Nerds!

I apologize for my recent absence, and my lack of updates on where I've been. As some of you will know already that I was on leave due to school activates, one instance of which being finals week, but I assure you that I’m back on the horse.

I also apologize if these blogs aren't as good as they usually are, as I've taken ill, and right before break none the less.

So to start off this week’s blogs I thought I would bring you all up to speed, I've been on my couch for quite some time with a bit of a sore throat and a case of spring allergies. Before that, I was working hard on the beginning of a new trimester at my school, after passing all of my finals.

 I plan to write all of my blogs for the week today, as I am taking vacation starting at eight o’clock this morning and only have today to get the weeks’ work done. I will be departing Cedar Rapids on a charter bound for Florida, a twenty-three hour bus ride with band kids. Let me express my gratitude I am sick, I won’t be forced to talk to anyone. I hope that I regain my strength for Disney, as I think it shall take all of the strength I have.

To satisfy those of you who were expecting a review, I will review briefly a game that I love to play when I’m sick: Learn to Fly 2, a game on Kongregate about a distressed penguin wanting to fly. You slowly gain money through your flights to buy better equipment and slowly soar to the skies, defeating the stereotype that penguins cannot fly for good.

I like playing this game because unlike some other games, this one is very easy to pick up, and you don’t need to micromanage it, you just fly through it. After only a few flights you as the gamer can agree that this game is a nice little cool-down from the hectic norm.

See you later gamers and remember
