I know it’s a little early to be wrapping up my month in games but when I want to blog, I want to blog!
I've been jumping into a lot of free to play MMORPGs at the moment to review them for plus10damage. The first one I'm going to review is Tera, which is actually kind of cool and you should check it out, but before I tried that, I downloaded a game called RaiderZ. Do not, under any circumstances waste your time on this pile of shit.
Tonight has been the greatest night ever...it's really hard to surpress all of this excitement I have oozing right now!
Despite my love for music, I've never played very many music or rhythm games. Not that I haven't played any, of course. I dabbled in the music portion or Mario Paint. I played Rhythm Heaven on the DS (which I had a shockingly difficult time with lol) as well as Elite Beat Agents (one of the best and most original DS games) and Donkey Konga, but I've missed on plenty of good ones over the years. If I ever manage to catch up, these are the games I'd most want to play.
I picked my copy up on Wednesday and have been slowly getting into it. I wasn't sure at first but it's shaping up to be a good one. Some observations below
Video Games Plus just sent me an email regarding some new products for sale, Among them was this baby. Plays, NES, SNES and Genesis games. The Youtube review indicates that it does a pretty good job with the exception of the usual incompatibilities and crappy included infrared controllers. He suggests throwing them away because they don't work worth a shit. It does however have two controller ports for each system which means original controllers work with it.
So I was on Gamestop.com jsut looking around and I noticed this.....
I just discovered this and it is making my world right now! Hope everyone knows and enjoys this.
Apparently despite the update people are hacking the shit out of Borderlands 2. Class mods for the psycho are already showing up in the vending machines, not a big deal same thing happended when they released the mech. But I joined a game tonight and found myself playing with a pair of lv 61 Psycos. Realy? This guy does not even come out till next month, never mind having him maxed out already. I'm about ready to just stop playing this game. Seemed like most of the hacking was happening on the 360 , now its just getting stupid here on PSN. And I don't think they were beta testers either. Would they just be out there like that?
I play alot of different games from any genre, I try playing different games because it's good trying to play games you'd never played before because it gives you a new experience. I'm pretty open when it comes to games, I loved every single game I've had a chance to experience, well there may be one or 2 exceptions. However there is one type of game or genre that I haven't tried and given a chance to: Rhythm Games.
I use blockbuters online rental option because for me its a lot better the the high priced Gamefly, price wise and shipping. I recently recieved Turning Point: Fall Of Liberty and while I normally try to finish any game I start whether bad or good I occasionally get an exception to that rule. I think this game is one of them. When I started it up today I at first was positive about the game but then the shooting all started and thats where the uglyness started to show. I noticed that sometimes it would take longer then it should to kill an enemy even though my aim was right on him, my gun sometimes acts like a unstable atom and I have to fight with the controls to keep it correct and lastly while it can be kind of a good thing sometimes the enemy would be right in front of me, firing his weapon and it acts like Im a ghost and cant feel shit? I think this one will be going back. I feel a headache coming on that I dont wanna deal with -_-.
Dad's van is good now, meaning I get my car back, and after a two hour Orientation call to my new freelance job today, I get to go on a mini-vacation to my alma mater, starting tomorrow.
Remember when the 3DS was first coming out and everyone was saying how 3D was a pointless gimmick that added nothing to the games? Well with a few very minor exceptions they were right, it is pretty much useless and I spend 95% of my 3DS time in 2D. The irony however is that the very existance of the 3D is giving us better games. Just look at the games Nintendo showed off yesterday: Mario and Luigi: Dream Team, Yoshi's Island, DKC Returns 3D, and Zelda: ALttP2 (FUCK YEAH!).
So last time I wrote it was about my vacation...and it was AWESOME! I had a blast but it was a SUPER tiring weekend/vacation!
So, anyways I've recently been reading some news and stumbled upon a unique article. Someone may have already covered it here, but I find these articles and website fascinating.
So Monday, the Boston Marathon was interrupted with bombings, now in West, Texas, a city only about an hour southeast of where I live (again, city, not the region, "West Texas") a fertilizer plant has exploded.
