Pedigrino Space Program-- KSP & 0.21 update


     The much anticipated Kerbal Space Program update 0.21 has been released with the 0.21.1 revision patch leading the charge. The 0.21 update is expected to have major changes, including career mode additions, but in the mean time patch 0.21.1 already has some bug fixes and visual updates to the game. So far, there have been updates to the SAS functionality as well as new visuals for Kerbin, the Mun, and the buildings have also had a face lift. So in recognition of this new update, I have decided to restart the Pedigrino Space Program and this time have an organized plan for missions into space and as always will keep you updated with posts.

Grand Theft Auto 5-- Games I am looking forward to



     The ever so reliable Grand Theft Auto series is coming back with what looks like will be another fun game filled with car stealing, prostitute killing enjoyment, yes GTA 5 is coming with a bigger map and a new style of gameplay. One feature that sticks out the most is the three playable characters, something which hasn't been in any previous GTA games, and the big open world map which is big enough for Rockstar to bring back flyable planes! One cool aspect that comes with 3 playable characters is the ability to switch from one character to another even when you aren't doing a mission. What is cool about that is the characters continue to lead their lives as opposed to just standing around until the player switches to that character. This game should prove to be interesting and with a storyline that won't fail, with much of the previous GTA games the story will not be left out nor will the free-roam aspect.

The Elder Scrolls Online-- Factions




Aldmeri Dominion
     The Aldmeri Dominion is comprised of the High Elfs, Wood Elfs, and Khajiits. They are led by the young 28 year old High Elf, Queen Ayrenn and the alliance is formed through the mutual agreement of gaining the throne for the benefit of all Tamriel. The three races of the Aldmeri Dominion don't seek the throne for glory or power, but rather they believe that a ruler from the Dominion would be well equipped to keep the peace and drive away the chaos. The homelands of these races are: Summerset Isle for the High Elf's, Valenwood for the Wood Elf's(also known as Bosmer), and finally Elsweyr for the Kahjiit's. With the Kahjiit blades, the High elf magic, and the Wood elf bow's, the Aldmeri Dominion is a strong force on the battlefield but no fight is easy.

Elder Scrolls Online-- Games I am looking forward to


     MMOs and myself don't have the best history; usually I will play an MMO as if I had an addiction, but soon thereafter all the excitement disappears, mainly because of the repetition of the quests. Though many of the MMOs won't draw me in, the one with the title Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) just might be my MMO achilles heel. After reading about the three factions: The Aldmeri Dominion (the best faction *cough cough*), The Daggerfall Covenant, and The Ebonheart Pact as well as the ESO back story, my desire for the game increased regardless of the MMO format. Not only do I now want to play ESO, I also want to go back to Skyrim and start a new adventure as the great Dovakiin.

Kerbal Space Program-- Let's go to space!


     The first game that I am going to be discussing about is a new space-simulator type game called Kerbal Space Program (KSP). Kerbal Space Program is a game, developed by Squad, where you create your own space program. Currently, the game is in heavy development so there are a lot more things that will be added in the future to further expand the game depth and its features, but don't let that turn your attention away from this outer space gem. Anywhere from manned spaceships to spaceships carrying satellites and even rovers intended to travel on the surface of other planets are all possible in KSP. On top of that, the spaceships used by your space program are completely built by the player from the ground up and with so many parts to choose from the spaceships can range from a fully functional and effective spacecraft to a funky funny looking rocket. But don't go too crazy while building as the physics of the game game are pretty spot on thus making the creation of a spaceship a thought out and careful process.  As your space program advances, sending satellites into orbit or sending your crew to the moon, or the 'mun' as it is called in game, you will find that with every successful mission you push yourself further and further gaining better ideas for the future of your program.
