Message From Victori Belle | Con Schedule

Hi there! 

So November is my last "busy" month of the Con-season. I know what you are thinking... Cons in the cold?! No way... lol But I have recently learned there are conventions all year round you just have to dig your way through them! 

So here are my final "con-quests" for the year:


Click the picture to take you to their website
 

November 18-20 Days of the Dead Chicago

November 19th Dupage Mighty Con

November 26-27 Chicago Pop Con

December 2nd Winter Masquerade "BDAY Celebration"

December 16-18 Con+Alt+Delete held at Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Rosemont, IL

 

After Con+Alt+Delete I will be in full Christmas mode... having to do shopping and hopefully some costuming!

I will be selling my prints and dressing in cosplay at all of the events listed and I hope to catch some of you there! If you can't make it to one of these Cons, don't worry! I will also be leaving my impression of the Cons here on Living the Nerd Life! So maybe after seeing what the Con was all about you might put it in your budget for 2017 <3! 

Just remember everyone I am just one person! So please let me know if I missed your Convention or if I missed a convention that you know of and want to give a shout out too! I try to be open for any and all types of cosplaying events, cons and parties and even if they are small I want to make sure they get the recognition they deserve for serving the nerd community! :) All these conventions/parties have pages on Facebook or website if you want more information and as always I will be promoting these events on all of my social media outlets! Feel free to tell me what you guys think about the conventions coming up and definitely don't be a stranger if you see me cause I would love to meet you. I appreciate you reading and taking your time to dive into the Nerd Life! 

Best Always,

Victori Belle

Minigore 2: Zombies | JUST BLASTIN' ZOMBIES!!!!!

Minigore 2: Zombies

Category: Games
Size: 139 MB
Seller: Mountain Sheep
Alert: MUST BE 17 YEARS OR OLDER TO DOWNLOAD

I've had Minigore 2: Zombies for a little while now because every once in a while I get the itch to kill some zombies! This game is a lot of fun and for me the most entertaining part about this game is seeing the bosses they came up with. From Zombies to giant skeletons, pigs and other hilariously entertaining creature to destroy! Check out the Positives & Negatives below the slideshow!

Positives:
- Gameplay, easy to pick up and play!
- Replay value is very high for me mainly in part to the simple gameplay
- $1.99, this gets you the game and you don't have to pay for more unless you want to
- Graphics, beautiful battle area's and a ton of disgustingly cute sprites

Negatives:
- $1.99 to get the game and extra charges for more in game advancements
- Not everyone can enjoy this game, have to be 17 or older to download due to adult content

Final Thoughts: It's definitely worth the $2 bucks and as far as any in game purchases they aren't necessary and takes some fun out of it. So go and check it out and let me know what you think!

Have you played this game before? What are your thoughts?

 

COSPLAYER OF THE WEEK | VICTORI BELLE

Victori Belle aka Tori Clark
Chicagoland Cosplayer

Victori Belle has been cosplay since 2013 and started her cosplaying career in St. Louis at Wizard World. Cosplaying is a way for Victori to express herself and connect with people around the world.

After having success as a NBC Reporter in Rockford and winning a Chicago Midwest Emmy for her photography she quit her job to follow her passions. Victori Belle turned to professional cosplaying and acting in the summer of 2016. She has been a featured guest in more than 10 conventions this year throughout the Midwest. Everyday and every convention she attends, she tries to learn skills from fellow cosplayers and gain new techniques that she can put towards her costuming. Her favorite part of any convention is connecting with people... and possibly partying with them afterwards. :)

When Victori isn't at conventions or costuming she is working on her other job as an actress. She is currently a co-host on Deadgar's Dark Coffin Classics, Stacey Slaughter on the Deadersons and on weekly for the Change the F'UP Podcast. These shows are currently on TV in Milwaukee Wisconsin.

Let's get into some of Victori Belle's amazing cosplays! 
The costumes she does as of now is Wonder Woman, Maleficent, Psylocke, Harley Quinn, Demonatrix, Chandra (Plains Walker from Magic the Gathering) and Ichicgo Kurosaki from Bleach.

Be on the look out for future information on Victori Belle here at livingthenerdlife.com. She will be sharing her future convention schedule with us and fill us in on some conventions she has attended in future posts! As of now she is planning on creating 5 more costumes for this upcoming season which means December and January are going to be busy! Definitely make sure you support her and show her some love by scrolling back up and connecting with her on her various social media.

Flappy Golf 2 | Just Tap it in!!!

Flappy Golf 2

Developer: Noodlecake Studios Inc

Size: 115 MB

Release Date: Oct 31, 2016

Compatibility: Requires iOS 8.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

 

Flappy Golf 2, yes the follow up to the smash hit Flappy Golf... Ok, I have know clue if the original Flappy Golf was a smash hit or not. However, I do know that Flappy Golf 2 is kind of entertaining. For me the early stages of this game are what made me enjoy this game, in fact if I'm looking for just a few minutes of fun I always go back to the first and 2nd stages. Not that the latter stages are bad or anything but those early levels fill my quick fix just perfectly. Check out some of my Positives & Negatives below. 

 

Positives

- Freemium! For the levels I play it is actually free!

- Flappy madness. Seems to be similar to Flappy Bird mechanics so easy to play

- Quick Fix. Have 5-10 minutes this game is perfect for you

Negatives

- Freemium, you know how that goes

- Later levels just turned me off due to how many things you have to do in them. Just too much.

 

Have any of you tried out this game? Or even the original Flappy Golf? What did you think?
