I wonder, any of you DSi owners?  Interested in this Dragon Quest game?  It’s 500 points if you want to get it.  Seems pretty interesting.  Check out the presser after the jump!

It’s been quite some time since I posted anything, and I think it’s time to just back on the failtrain.  While school, work, and vidjya games had me wrapped up last month, I still had time to check the internetz and got bored of that.

Speaking of school, I had to do an introductory speech on a person, fictinional or not.  That one person had to be our dear friend Dr. Gordon Freeman.  While I did a really crappy job on the speech, I learned some things about Gordon, Barney, and the entire universe itself.  That’s all the boring, dry, and informative stuff that I know you care nothing about.  Here’s the juice, fun stuff that I stumbled across on my joourney for more info on the Free Man:

Finally having a spare moment from grad school and due to Kuro’s incessant whining, I went in search of things to post (namely youtube videos). Plus, I feel like I should try and balance out the mass amounts of testosterone on the site. So here’s an interesting and pretty amusing cosplay video.

So, I finally decided to get off of my lazy ass and write this review (also, there was some difficulty pulling me away from it). Yea, I know it’s been almost two months, but I’ve been busy, so shut it.

Infinite Undiscovery is the latest game by Tri-Ace, developers of the legendary RPG franchises Valkyrie Profile and Star Ocean. The question that must be asked is whether or not it lives up to its predecessors or not. Check after the jump as I undiscover what this game has to offer.

Welp, a new King of Fighters has been shown off to the public, and it’s looking pretty good.  It doesn’t match the style or smexyness of SF4, but KoF has never done that.  All I hope is that we get it over here, at least on the consoles.

A stockpile of the headache/eyestrain machine that is the Virtual Boy has been found while cleaning out a warehouse in Dubai.  That shows how much people cared about the machine.  I don’t care what people say though, I love mine and I still have it.  Do I play it, no, but I have it when I want it…and I get to brag.  So w/e to all ye naysayers, I think it’s been the epitome of 3D (actual 3D) gaming ever.  And it just looks damn cool in its red lined and black background technology.

Unfortunately, ya looked like a dork playing the thing.

One of my favorite games of all time is getting a second release (you already knew that), but dayum I’m more pumped for it than I thought.  I know, I know, you tell me it’s more of the same, BUT THATS WHAT I WANT! 

So, if any of yallz wanna get pwned up on teh drums, hit me a friend invite on XBL: CS Stig-san

 I recently come into purchasing a Playstation 3.  After my short experience with a PS3, I can say this one statement…ahem…FUCK YOU SONY!  I can’t play the majority of games out for the damn thing cause all the games on the system run at 720p and my TV maxes at 1080i.  I am perfectly ok with that considering I get a 60 FPS max.  So yeah, thats that.

So, the only games I CAN play are MGS4, which I haven’t played yet, and GT5, which is OMFGAmazing.  I bought a nice racing wheel for the game and have never had a better experience with the GT series. Gran Turismo 5 Proglogue is THE best racing game experience.  There is no way to beat it EVER.  Forza 2 is crap, and PGR gives me the other side of racing I need.

The cars handle spot-on to life.  The cars I’ve drivin so far are are the RX8 (driven one in RL), a Honda Integra, a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX and X, Nissan GTR, and a Corvette.  The best car so far is the EVO X.  I must say that I was really dissapointed with the GTR.  It drives like a brick on wheels.

Overall, I’m very pleased with the game, and cannot WAIT till the full version of the game comes out.   The full release will have the Top Gear Test Track on it.   I’m really curious as to how the times measure up.

Stardock has made a gamer’s bill of rights.  these are things that we, as gamers, have a right to and should have.  Here they are:

1) Gamers shall have the right to return games that don’t work with their computers for a full refund.
2) Gamers shall have the right to demand that games be released in a finished state.
3) Gamers shall have the right to expect meaningful updates after a game’s release.
4) Gamers shall have the right to demand that download managers and updaters not force themselves to run or be forced to load in order to play a game.
5) Gamers shall have the right to expect that the minimum requirements for a game will mean that the game will play adequately on that computer.
6) Gamers shall have the right to expect that games won’t install hidden drivers or other potentially harmful software without their consent.
7) Gamers shall have the right to re-download the latest versions of the games they own at any time.
8. Gamers shall have the right to not be treated as potential criminals by developers or publishers.
9) Gamers shall have the right to demand that a single-player game not force them to be connected to the Internet every time they wish to play.
10) Gamers shall have the right that games which are installed to the hard drive shall not require a CD/DVD to remain in the drive to play.

For the most part, we don’t curently get these.  We should, but between hurried games and retail stores and piracy, these things don’t come easy.

I DO play other games, not just Fighting. Take Devil May Cry, for example. I consider myself a “Great” DMC player. I use Jump Canceling, Royal Cancels, Exceed Combos, and of course, a healthy amount of taunting. But there are those that outstrip me in skill. I love watching players destroying everything around them, with plenty of substance hidden within pure flash. What are you waiting for? CLICK JUMP NAO! Read the rest of this entry »
