I ask that because...after all these years, "Relic" has just released a new series of patches and a new character for The Last Stand for free (until the 15th) - the Necron Lord (or I should say Phaeron). It's pretty neat to see them bring our old metallic bonebags into DoW2 even with the old engine...but c'mon where's our DoW3 already? Not to mention Battlefleet Gothic is already into beta testing as well. Just wish my stupid satellite internet didn't eat up the "cap" for data in one weekend and be faster to support good RTS gaming. Though it's just too bad post 5th edition styles are going onto a game that still has early 5th edition/4th edition styles (I say that since the Fire Prisms are of the older design without the long barrell feeding the big crystal). Soooo Sega, where's our DoW3...I wanna see the return of what made Dark Crusade (or perhaps Firestrom over Kronus if you get some input from Dark Crusade fans) awesome to play, plus Gargants, Riptides, Wraithknights, the Emperor's Centurion (Rogal Dorn not included - cookies if you get that reference), Sternies and Heat Lance armed Reavers.

In other gaming news, Pokemon has just announced about a week ago or so the coming of the 7th Generation of Pokemon and that Red, Blue and Yellow are Pokebank compatible. :3 C'mon Pidegot with Sky Attack (or Mew with Sky Attack if the glitches still work in Virtual) or a Skull Bashing Pikachu or a Double Edge Eevee (though on Flareon it's redundant if transferred to a later gen with Flare Blitz). Or how about the "now" useless Fissure TM? Also seems we can get some Regis on Pokebank as well - note to self get your Regis. The biggie though is Gen VII, especially with Nintendo's "big" moves in the NX and stuff like Pokemon Go! - will Gen VII be one of the last games on the 3DS family or will Nintendo treat their fans well (unlike the Gen II/Gen III transition). Also, are we getting our Canada Region...and perhaps referencing Punch Out! with a Bear Hugger-like gym leader (or other Canadian references like Terrence and Phillip, poutines, Mounties, and Scott Pilgrim; how about the big bad reference Gideon Graves?). And for fun, make Essentia a new Looker character that is recurring.

And, everyone's favorite Nerd is getting a sequel. They have just recently announced the AVGN Adventures 2 game with more F-bombs, "crappy" game references and hopefully more laughing joking numbnuts to blast into pixels. The first game is quite challenging and fun to do and if I start playing on Steam some more I need to work to get farther into the game because I've only beaten Thy Farts Consumed (other than the Sega CD and Jaguar episodes, the only Doom reference the Nerd ever made) and most of Assholevania (I hate that final corridor until the boss and I can't imagine my experience with Boo! Haunted House will be).

Finally, it seems that Gundam gets its first official "centaur" mobile suit in the Gundam Kimaris Trooper, backing up all those Graze Ritters. It's pretty neat as is the Gusion Rebake (one of my favorites out of G-Tekketsu) and the revealed Gundam Astaroth (though some think it's leftovers from Reconguista in G - sadly an anime where the only things I like are the Gaeon, G Arcane and Gastima and maybe the G-Self Reflector Type). Can't wait to see how they will do Season 2 of G-Tekketsu and what will happen at the end of Episode 25.
