My Love of Syfy, Fantasy, and Video Games



So today I'm going to blog about how much a nerd I am. First i am going to talk about my love of Stargate SG-1. I am really enjoying the show. The dynamics of the show are great. It has a great plot, very imaginative, there is great character development, its has a great sense of humor...and i kinda wanna fuck Michael Shanks (but you know). This show just appeals to my love of space travel. I cant wait for the day when this is possible for the human race. I mean, can you imagine meeting an alien race? The mathematical possibilities of humans being the only intelligent life in the universe is astronomical.  The things we could learn...



Another science fiction show that i have been watching is is Warehouse 13. If you haven't seen this show yet you are missing out. Its about this group of government agents that "grab,bag,and tag" artifacts. They keep all these artifacts in the Warehouse that almost has a personality of its own. This show is incredibly funny. A lot of the artifacts are things in history. This show is unique and it has wonderful character development. I love the fact that they delve into what it is to be human.

Those are just a few of the tv shows that right now I'm into but that isn't even mentioning the video games that i am playing. I am really currently into league of legends. Its a free game. Think of it as Age of empires meet WOW. It is a very fun game. I also cant wait for Battlefield Bad Company 3 comes out. I play the second one and its awesome. I love the online multiplayer. There is nothing more fun than sneaking up on someone and knifing them and getting their tags. ;)

As for fantasy goes. There are so many books and tv shows that it is very hard to narrow it down. I just finished re-reading Brent Week's trilogy. Its about this kid who becomes a wetboy (assassin with magic powers). To become it, he has to give up love. I love the dynamics in it. There is lots of fighting but the plot is amazing. You can really connect to the main characters.Its a very thought out book. It was a page turner. I re-read all 3 books in like a week. I could barely put them down.

Another series that i have been reading for a long time is the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. There are 11 books written by Robert Jordan, however he died before he could complete the last book. They have a new writer (Brandon Sanderson) writing the last book that was so large they had to split it into 3 parts. This series is about this world where magic exists. The world is incredibly detailed, each land has a very detailed back story and culture. Some people think that the books are slow and boring. However i eat them up. The characters take on a life of their own. The only way i can describe these books are epic. Really epic.

So now you know how much of a nerd I am. lol I hope you all still like me... ;) I love you all.
