Something to Play During the Summer
Filed under: GAMING, SUMMER, 2010

Wow, and there was me thinking we won't have anything to play this summer. Right now, I have several releases lined-up for the summer gaming season, including Singularity, Transformers: War for Cybertron, Disciples III and, of course, the upcoming action game, Crackdown 2.

Not bad. At least, there will be plenty to play until StarCraft II arrives (which will happened at the end of next month).

Kinecting...

Well, okay so everyone's yapping on and on about 'Kinect' -- Microsoft's recently renamed motion-sensing tech for the Xbox 360 -- here's the footage you should see if you've missed it:

"Naaice"

"Naaice"

Shut him up... someone.

The Sims

A friend of mine asked me the other day: "You've played so many games in your life and yet you have never played The Sims. Why is that."

It's an understandable question for someone who's played video games most of his life. My answer to such a question is pretty darn simple. I never relished the idea of playing a game that simulates boring, everyday life. Getting away from these tedious aspects of life is one of the reasons why I play games and The Sims (including The Sims 2 & 3) just don't rock my boat.

Sorry.

What Else Is There?
Filed under: GAMING, VIDEO GAMES, GAMES

Well, I've been on this planet for a more than thirty years now and I have yet to find something more interesting than sex and video games.

Could it be that I've missed something?

Sure, adrenaline junkies keep telling me there are other things: jumping off a moving plane, riding a super-bike and stuff like that.

Sorry, not my cup of tea.

Dad Was Right
Filed under: DAD, WOMEN, WOMAN, GAMING

Oh yes he was. Good women are hard to find. In fact, they are nearly downright impossible to find. Sometimes I wonder why the hell does nature force us to depend on these confusingly alluring creatures so much. Throughout my whole life, I've never met a women that was entirely dependable or devoted to one thing (with the possible exception of Mother Teresa).

Women are largely deceitful and can hurt you emotionally unlike anything on this Earth.

One of the main reasons why I resort to simple escapism such as playing video games, is not to have to deal with women or have to listen to their incessant rants.

I don't hate women generally...

Just today, I guess.

End the Console War!
Filed under: CONSOLES, WII, PS3, XBOX 360, GAMING

Why does there have to be a console war? I mean all this bickering about who's got the better console - Wii, Xbox 360, PS3... It's all good.

So, please, let's get along!

Gaming peace and harmony!

Actually Talking and Breathing Fresh Air

Looking forward to another rainy, gaming weekend. I like bad weather if it means I get to stay at home and play a good game. The only problem I see is that there really isn't anything interesting to play right now. I've pretty much played everything that came out in the past three months, so now I'm considering which games are worthy of extra playthroughs.

Sadly, very few.

There might be good reason to give games like Risen another go. Although, as far as I recall the action RPG doesn't have much of a replay value. Also, I've done everything I can possibly do during the first playthrough.

Sod it. Now what? I'm bored. Really bored.

Maybe I should try going outside and actually start talking to real people.

Little Red Riding Hood Goes All Bad-ass

Now, someone should do a webcomic based on this news.

Little Red is obviously prepared do deal with not just one big bad wolf, but a whole bunch of 'em + a colossal boss wolf, I'm sure.

I Am Called to Pripyat

Completed STALKER Call of Pripyat the other day and I'm a bit disappointed. For a game boasting such an truly convincing depiction of nuclear fallout, there's little to sink your teeth into in terms of storytelling.

Sill, I do appreciate what these guys keep doing with the art in the game. Depressing and realistic shit... a true nuclear wasteland.

I advise you try this one if nothing else.
