October 4, 2012/0/0/

I got an ipad this year and one of the first things I did was start searching for science and medicine themed games. The main game that seems to be making waves is a game called Plague Inc., by Ndemic Creations, that was inspired by Pandemic 2.5., by Dark Realm Studios. And I would be […]

October 1, 2012/0/0/

As a blogger for Nerdcore Learning and through its vision and spirit, I try to keep my posts revolved around merging a “nerdy” idea (usually involving video games, comics, and the likes) with an aspect of medicine (which I suppose would also be “nerdy” but more importantly, the “learning” perspective). In this post, I hope […]

Healing Blade 3.0

August 6, 2012/0/0/

Last year when I got my hands on a copy of Healing Blade, I tore open the box full of anticipation. Cool artwork! And a science theme! Games about science have been an interest of mine for some time. Games are fun and science is fascinating. Combine the two and you can potentially get quite […]

BlakLotus has entered the arena . . .

August 5, 2012/0/0/

Some of the things that we ponder here from time to time at NCL are: a) Where are we now? b) Where are we going? c) Is this stuff worth fighting for? These kinds of questions should pepper the mind of anyone engaged in creative projects.  It is so easy to become mired in the insanity […]

Gamers Get Girls

July 22, 2012/0/0/

A while ago, I received a unique and interesting graphic called “Gamers Get Girls” that can be accessed at (http://www.onlineuniversity.net/gamers-get-girls/); also shown below. The graphic is designed in an elegant retro-bit-style fashion, and easily conveys a proposal of how online gaming connects people romantically and is more efficacious than dating sites such as Match.com or […]

The Will of a Green Lantern

June 26, 2012/0/0/

The current craze in gaming is the MOBA game, short for Multiplayer Online Battle Arena. The MOBA plays like the original Warcraft games, especially since the first and most prominent MOBA came out of a Warcraft 3 mod.
