Well I did not waste anytime to replace my old computer and have taken a cheaper and more portable route and got me a laptop. I think I got a good deal and stayed within my budget, even had enough money to buy a couple new albums.
Action games are a tricky business when using just a touch screen, which is all you get with an iPhone or iPad, and the App Store has the entire quality spectrum covered. Coming in right about the middle of the road is Konami's venerable run-n-gun franchise Contra with a remake of the NES original called Contra: Evolution. The developer, a Chinese outfit called Punchbox Studios, did their best to cater to the difficulties inherent in touch-only play, like adding an out-fire so that you don't have to worry about an additional virtual button (though you can change that if you like). They've also given a number of control input option, like using a floating or stationary stick for movement or plastering a big d-pad on the screen for you. To be honest, the game is better suited for iPad since you have to cover part of the screen with your fingers or thumbs in order to play. At the same time it's hard to imagine how it could control better and the developers added a rudimentary progression system that rewards your persistence in playing with perks like additional lives in your default pool and expendable weapon upgrades that can be used any time in game, so props to them for making a concentrated effort to tailor the game to its platform. But still, even with the nerfed difficulty (another good idea), I've yet to beat it. I'll keep trying though. The game is a winner on the audio/visual front, with nice clean polygons and remixed music, and the multiple difficulties and challenge mode give you plenty to do. It's hard to argue with the 99 cent price point either. Contra fans will find enjoyment here as long as they don't go in expecting an NES-perfect experience.
The first time I've seen Strider, he was one of the playable fighter in Marvel Vs. Capcom. He had a striking visual and was a good fighter too. I wondered which game he was from, but it would yet take me some time to find that out. When I did (huh, Strider is from the game Strider, who would've guessed), I also realized it would be a bit hard to check out his games mysefl, seeing they were released for arcades, the NES and the Mega Drive, and old arcade cabinets or game cartridges are a bit difficult to find, or too expensive just for curiosity's sake.
The one series I have been playing a lot of lately are the Phoenix Wright games and their spin-off Miles Edgeworth Investigations. I played Edgeworth 2 years ago and the original PW a year and a half ago and enjoyed them, it was only recently that I decided to catch up on the series for Dual Destinies that I realized just how fucking awesome these games are. The gameplay is minimal, but the thing about it is that what gameplay is there enhances the story they present.
Ok so we all have been ask if your stranded on a deserted island with electricity what three games would you take well its that question but!! It can only be on one system so what three would you bring??
So i have been trying to keep up with everyones blogs via my phone but I can't comment from it for some reason which sucks. But I'm using my folks computer at the momment and will hopefully have something by the end of the weekend. Luckly I backed everything up a few months ago when I put Windows 8 on it. Otherwise I would realy be devistated right now. Oh, if anyone has any suggestions about a good laptop I'm all ears cause thats what I'm looking at getting. Laters Ya'll!
I find it weird that people still buy those magazines about celebrities. Firstly, have these people never heard of the internet? You know that place where you can find out about all that kind of shit for free? I used to understand people wanting to read them while on the toilet, but guess what! They invented something to get around that. It's called a fucking smart phone, and most people in the world have one! I also find it disconcerting that people think that buying these magazines is normal. Yes, obsessing over every detail of someone you've never met's life is totally fucking normal. And healthy. Oh, and even better, they put puzzles in these magazines. If you are actually compelled to read speculations about an out of context photo of Prince Williams talking to a random woman in a public location, I'm sorry but you are far to fucking brain dead to complete a crossword.
If you are a hard core fan of Bruce Lee and u actually buy hist staff, i have one 15% Off www.BruceLee.com Store reddeem code..... , so to win it just tell me something about Bruce Lee that only a true fan would know.
What, you want an intro paragraph? The title isn't self explanatory enough? Ok. These are some awesome albums I bought. This is me talking about them. Are you happy now you braindead fuck?
As the group sets out they notice that the terrain is barren and sterile. Louis looks over the scene and cant believe what he sees. In the distance the group sees a Scavenger wandering aimlessly (alomost in a state of confusion). Zoey rasies her gun and dispatches the Scavenger almost with compassion. The group notices that their skin is starting to redden and itch.
I just realized that Air Fortress was actually NES #155. NES #154 was Super Glove Ball. The less said about that game right now, the better (although I would play a sequel if Microsoft made one with Kinect 2.0... they still own Rare, you know).
Been practically a month since a I posted..Mostly been watching anime and doodling n' working on stuff..~(In random order..)
1984, the year after the great video game crash of '83. For me, console video games fell off the frickin' Earth. I forgot about my Atari 2600, my neighbor's Intellivision, and my friend's ColecoVision. I moved on to PC games with my first dungeon crawl, Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord. I went to the occasional arcade to play Xevious, but in my mind, arcades were dead too. Amazingly though, console games were still coming out before the NES hit and here are ads for two of them I got from Doctor Strange No. 68, released December of 1984.
