Asshats R Him

Ok, so this article will outline how NOT to treat me if you want to continue to be my friend.

1. Dont turn around after I have stopped talking to you and start talking mad shit about how I have no ambition and that I am a whiny little bitch, thats only going to ensure that I never talk to you again

See, with me its about loyalty, I have had some shitty friends in the past, friends who got me robbed (or actually robbed me). Also others who would be friends with me only to go talk shit when I am not around. LOYALTY, look it up ass hat. See also: not treating friends like shit.

Thats pretty much it, I ask one thing from my friends, but from what i have been told, you went and broke the golden rule, good job.

To another point, the only thing really angering me the other night was you, I could imaging you in a condesending tone saying those things to me over live and it was getting me mad. Plus, i dont like it when the person who should be responding for themself sits back and ignores me while a douchemonkey fights his battle for him.


UPDATE
Asshat IP banned me from his blog, even though I was like his only regular visitor vand I have been a good little boy (except for that one night where i was trolling the place)

Back!!

Hey Guys,
I know you haven't seen me in a while but i do have a confession to make... I think i'm addicted to Flight Simulator X -_-, it takes up wayy to much of my time, I mean i played like 10 minutes of GTA 4 then swapped back over to FSX -_-, but GTA 4 for PC, all I can say is WOWWWW, graphics look HOT, and the replay editor is really AMAZING, with the filters you can put on it, and the free camera movement, and the way it auto records clips it a real marvel! anywhoo so I dunno what's new with you guys but me, still testing but from home now been fortunate enough to try out FEAR 2, I thank the guys out at Monolith for giving me the opportunity to try it out. :)
Some cool things commin to the PS3 sometime soon, apparently Home is only a couple of weeks away, and they just announced Uncharted 2, which I am looking forward too.  I need to get my damn disk drive fixed though... I hope they let me into the Killzone 2 beta, cuz i'm curious as to how that game is shaping up. I'm back at home for a little while to come now so that's a little ease off my back, next trip is vacation to London and Paris in May ( I CANT WAIT) but thats all thats new with me Oh! if you guys haven't checked out my Surprise birthday for my mom I recommend you watch it!
Feel free to leave comments! :) try not to cry when she does loll :P

Too Long Between Posts

So, we go in waves here. We post like madmen for a while, then we go into a lull while we all have nerdgasms over awesome games and movies.

Since the last time I posted GTA IV has been released, the new Halo 3 maps came out and are awesome.... lets see, what else matters?

Oh, I got a new car, finally rid of my crappy ford tempo and I now drive a 94 Pontiac Grand Am.

I have been playing Phantasy Star Universe alo, maily because I can but partly because there was a rather fun and lucrative event going on through the end of april to the end of may.

GTA IV is just all kinds of pwnage, the story is great... hell, I enjoy just hanging out in that game.

Thats all I can think of now, I am at work....

P.S.
OH WHERE OH WHERE HAS MY SCOTTY GONE? OH WHERE OH WHERE CAN HE BE?!?!?!?

Bungie, I Love You!

Bungie just killed about every Halo fan ever in exsistence.... They told us what Cottonball is.

SIDEWINDER REMAKE!

Yes, I have been hoping for weks, as the rest of the community, that this would be true. Sidewinder will finally make it to Xbox Live on April 15th as part of the Legen- wait for it, dary! map pack for 800MS Points.

A reason to dust off Halo 3? Yes!

You see, with a gamefly subscription and a bunch of games to catch up on I have been neglecting my poor little H3 disc, but thats gonna change, even more so if the next rumor comes true.

Headline links to article on bungie.net for your drooling pleasure.

OMG!!
I just realized before saving this... bungie is sick and twisted (i knew that, but damn) they are releasing this on tax day! lol

CRYSIS , you knew it.


Of course since now I have a PC strong enough to muster this game together, 1 word to sum up Crysis, its amazing. But the weird thing is that all of its good qualities lye in the Graphics, and just allowing the other aspects to just behave themselves, and not let them ruin the game.


So lets talk a bit about the graphics, well the fact that you need a very recent power house to be able to max out the settings in this game should give you a good Idea of what kind of graphics you are looking at, It will look like sex on your PC if you have a strong enough PC. But the other graphical settings don't really tear a lot away from the graphics, except maybe low, there is a big difference between Very High and high only because very high has all the awesome Direct X 10 features, which sold Vista to me, when I was deciding. This game will run on a pretty crappy computer all except very high, that's the one you need a good PC for, In high I can get about 50-60 fps running at 1680x1050 resolution where as I can get a max of 30 when in Very high.

That being said if you can play it, your with me on this one, this game looks stunning, from the run through the jungle to the explosions of choppers and the dropping of trees, its truly a one of a kind experience.


The sound holds its own, the sound of bullets whizzing by are always good and the overall score fits the game. That's pretty much all I can really say about the sound, its not crap? It holds its own.


The story takes place on a Korean controlled island, you drop off to go and rescue some Americans and basically, you fight your way through Koreans to find out that this excavation site is all a big trap that will lead an ancient race of aliens onto earth. The story is like I said average, it holds its own.


The game play, is another place that should be noted, the game play is very intuitive, all the buttons are easy to access, changing powers isn't a hassle, even playing with the Xbox 360 controller is all mapped out, and it works great, takes some getting used to but it works great.


The multi player is pretty bare bones you have your standard slayer and another variant called Power Struggle that has you running around doing certain objectives. And so, the multi player also falls under the nothing special box, but... it holds its own.


Final thoughts are, Crysis is an amazing game but because of its visuals which is something you don't usually pick up a game for, but because of the fact that the other mechanics hold their own, the game works fine as a purchase, just to see all the massive work put into the visuals, and the awesome explosions and physics. If you have a PC that can run this at least on Medium or High settings, or for gods sake Very high, do yourself a favor and go pick up this game!

Gets an 8.5/10 from me!

Take it easy guys!

Purchased BLACK.

Well after finishing Indigo Prophecy I faced A problem I was running out of games to play, and I was looking into the Xbox Originals, and I caught sight of BLACK, that came out a couple of weeks ago. Of course since I didn't pick it up at the time, I had forgotten it even came out. Now playing the game today I am still very impressed. This game came out a couple of years ago on the original Xbox, but still this games visual style would do fine in current gen. The whole style of the game is all out impressive, the fact that when you shoot shit gets released into the air making it near impossible to shoot with any bit of accuracy, thankfully the enenmies guns spark mussel flares so you can pinpoint where to shoot. I'm way into this game once again. Anyway just thought I'd shed my thoughts on the game :)

take it easy guys.

Just Finished Indigo Prophecy(Xbox Original)

Well, I've been chipping away at this game for what feels like ages, taking it in bit by bit and finally tonight I sat down and said I'm finishing this game, and so I did, and all I can say is wow. So I'm going to write my thoughts about it. First thing I'm going to say is its worth 15$.
Just a short bit for anyone who likes it short, but for you people that like it long... haha :P sorry. Uhh anyways, for the longer version,

basically in Indigo Prophecy you play as Lucas Cane that basically is a killer, the first scene you play sets you up as a murderer and the police begin to solve the case and find out who you are but you find out there is more to this then first glance.
I don't want to go into to much detail in the story aspect because its a very well written story and its easy to giveaway information. Anyways so the best aspect of Indigo Prophecy is, like I said its story shines bright. I got very entwined into the story and always came back wanting to know the ending, There are a lot of twists and turns and it makes for an amazing story.

The game play is something that could have been made better for sure, the camera controls can get very annoying at times but most of the time its no big deal. The game is played pretty much like a movie. It is an adventure game, so the camera is obviously third person. Another complaint I have is a few of the missions that I found unnecessary and pretty much straight up crap I didn't enjoy playing them at all. But on the flip side there are many amazing control and game play mechanics. Most of the game is played using the right thumb stick as your action, so when you want to get up you tilt the right thumb stick up, just take my word for it, it fits in well, it may not sound great but its better then it sounds. As well there are cut scenes that are contact sensitive, so you will see 2 circles with colours up down left and right ( and there are 2 circles) the one on the left represents your left thumb stick and the one on your right represents your right thumb stick and they will flash like up down up down and you'll have to tilt the thumb sticks accordingly, its a lot of fun.

The graphics are passable, I mean it is an Xbox Original so don't expect marvelous graphics, its probably a little under the bar for the time of release but its not the graphics that are what you should play this game for.

The sound is very well done, there are many close quarters, spooky area's where the music kicks in just at the right time, as well when the cops are coming it changes to a track that makes you more aware and nervous, the sounds is well presented.

All in all, this game is worth the 15$ to play through the amazing story and just get to play basically a movie, but I warn you there is one level in the game that you will probably get stuck on because it is not obvious. If you have any troubles and you don't feel like searching up for a guide comment, I'll comment back and if u see 2 or more comments in the box, chances are the answers in there. I would rate this game 8.5/10 , AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

Making Scotty Weep

Ok, so Scotty decided to spend way too much money on his computer, I wont go into details, lets just say he could find better things to spend THAT amount of money on.
So, in my infinite need to make people see the error of their ways, I went to ibuypower.com and shopped a comparable system and the result should make scotty want to cry.
NOTE-
This system does not have 2 things that scotty ADDED to his system, the BR drive and the physics card, also adding a monitor would be about $200 more.

all told this system costs $2954.00 USD


Intel Quad Core (4x2.4Ghz)
Liquid Cooling
4GB Corsair RAM
2x eVGA Nvidia GeForce 8800GTX 768 w/DVI+TV Out Video
500GB Primary HDD
160 Secondary HDD
Lightscribe DVD Burner
Sound Blaster X-Fi Card
Vista Ultimate

Not to mention they have available next day shipping, which would mean I would have this computer by weeks end if I ordered today, add $85 for that and I have a computer thats WAY, way, way, way less than what I believe scotty to be paying.

Bring the tears, you sold your soul to dell for an awesome computer.

Not Gonna Drag This One On To Long...


Hey Whats Goin on guys?
Man its way to bad HD-DVD is dead i was rootin for it the whole time even though i have a PS3 (that plays blu ray) and my new PC having a blu ray drive, i would have MUCH rathered have to buy an HD DVD player its a shame, but good news.
MY NEW PC has been ordered and confirmed as is in the midst of being made.
Can't wait to play Crysis.


~xl KoRn lx~

HDDVD Dead

So, after a short battle, HD DVD has been pronounced dead by its creator, Toshiba.

For those who dont know my position, I supported HD, mainly because it was developed by the same company that originally invented the DVD, they should know what they are doing. Unfortunately, sony just has too much money to throw around and now our movie watching souls will belong to them in next gen.

Mind you, I dont own either of the 2 formats at this point, but I was starting to toy with the idea of getting a new HD tv which would have made me want some sweet looking dvds to watch on it, and now I will probably have to drop the equivalent of a whole paycheck to get a Blu Ray player... thanks sony, you money grubbing, piece of shit manufacturing douchemonkeys.

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith

So, the next installment in the GH series has been announced, and I have to say this one has me really excited.
ghaerosmith.jpg

Thats right, Aerosmith is letting Activision go buck wild with their massive list of hit songs to bring us an Aerosmith themed Guitar Hero game, and it will rock. From the look of it, they are gonna have the venues be based off of the collection of stage setups the band has used over the years, of which I have personally seen 3.
It wont be a 1 band game, for those worried that it will get boring fast only playing Aerosmith songs then fear not! Bands that Aerosmith has worked with and that have been inspired by Aerosmith will also be in the game.

To celebrate this partnership Activision will be offering up a free track, THIS WEEKEND ONLY. "Dream On" by Aerosmith.

I will keep up with this story as more info is made readily available headed for a June release.

News!

Hey guys,

Not Much is goin on here, just thought i'd update you guys, this week i'm going to be ordering a new dell XPS H2C edition desktop, YAY, i'm pretty excited, I was so excited in fact, I decided to go and pick up Crysis this afternoon, search through the special features on the limited edition, while I wait for the beast to arrive.
The PC specs are:
-Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850 (3.67 GHz Factory overclocked)
-Windows Vista
-4 GB corsair Ram 800 MHz overclocked to 1066 MHz
-500 GB Primary HDD
-160 GB Secondary HDD
-Dual Nvidia Geforce 8800 Ultra 768MB

So, Ive already been horrible at posting a couple times a week on both blogs, but thats because I am now using Firefox 3 Beta, which does not support my nifty blogging plugin.... so I will try harder.

But, I did get a new Linksys router over the weekend, its sweet... only took me an hour to rewire my network and get the beauty installed.

Also, I got a second interview at CCS (call center, dispatching), I am about to head out for that and if they offer me the job today (crosses fingers) I will be making $10/hour, which means I will be going on a gaming spree very soon!

Thats all for now, keep up with my twitter for updates throughout the day!

Update :)

Hey Everyone, today i'm commin at ya in like 45,000 different parts. SO lets get Started.

Yesterday I went to Cornwall to visit my grandparents, because they moved and I wanted to see their new house and since i'm out of a full time job and not partaking in a semester I had a good amount of time off :) So while I was bored on the train I took a few Pictures.
Photobucket
hehe, guess what I was playing on the train...?
Photobucket
So then I get to Cornwall and you know I looked at their house and while we were talking I get a phone call. It was from EB Games, my buddy Chris over there calls me and tells me they got 3 DS's in, and i'm like no WAY urgh had to be while I was gone, luckily he put it aside for me to pick up this morning, which there not supposed to do because its a system thats high in demand and very low quantity, but ya. So of course this morning, I went to pick it up yay NOW ONTO Advance Wars!
Photobucket
Next I just wanna let you all know I have all sorts of new games, I picked up a bunch this week, earlier on I picked up Battlefield 2142 off EA story, Direct download, and then I picked up The Matrix Online off Direct Download, despite the bad reviews its a pretty good game, only it took like 4 hours to upday -_-, and then this morning I picked up Supreme Commander(PC), and C&C3(360).
Photobucket
Last issue of buisness since this videos gonna be like 3/4's of the page I decided to add on a little footage of GH 3 We Three Kings on Hard, it was going towards another video so I decided to just upload the whole raw gameplay.


So thats all for this Wednesday January 30th,2008, Take it easy all!

P.S. DAMN YOU BLOGGER for making me have to retype this stupid errors.

Turok Demo FINALLY Available on XBLM

So, the Turok demo is now on the marketplace in North America, and what a great game this is shaping up to be! The graphics are beautiful and aw-inspiring. The sound is really good also, with voice acting sounding nice, and all the other stuff is up to par too (guns, walking though puddles and such, dinosaurs).

The guns are what I enjoyed the most, you can pretty much dual wield anything your dark heart desires...

SMG+PISTOL? Yes!

SMG+SMG? Yes!

SMG+SHOTGUN? Yes!!

SHOTGUN+SHOTGUN? HELL YES!!!!

To make you drool some more, the shotguns are automatic, you hold the trigger and those puppies fire till empty.

Not to be forgotten, you have a knife and a bow/arrows in your arsenal as well. The knife allows for some brutal up close killing when your feeling a little nasty.
Gameplay is fun, you get to go around in these caves, then you run into some dinos, you get to kill them, then you make it outside for a couple bigger battles.

I limited decriptors for those who dont want their demos ruined for them, thats very basic... I could go into detail, but I wont.

So, try this one out, it doesnt dissapoint... unless you expect every demo to come with multiplayer function.

On a side note, I started using my personal blog again, after 2 years away. Its got some other functionality that I liked, and I will try and blog her and there at least twice a week a piece.

Chernobyl.

Ok... Im stuck, in Chernobyl, with an M21 and a silenced USP .45. I have exactly 20 minutes to evacuate, and there are 4 Mi-8 Hips bearing down on me, with several tangos dropping from the back. Oh yeah.... did I mention the infinite amount of enemies spawning in front of me.

If you couldn't tell, the game I'm talking about is Call of Duty 4. the game that was touted to be better than Halo 3. It lives up to every bit of that statement, and beyond.

Lemme just go quickly through a run down here. The games starts you off as a guy named 'Sopa' McaTavish, who is fresh out of the British SAS selection. Your first mission, and subsequent mission deal with finding several surplus Russian nuclear warheads, bound for the Middle East.

Act I of the game also throws you into the shoes of Sgt. Paul Jackson, who happens to be part of the Marine 1st Force Recon. As Jackson you are sent into the Middle East to capture Kaled Al-Asad, who is attempting to do something really bad. During the assault on the capital city where Al-Asad was supposed to be, you and the rest of your squad are takes with rescuing a stranded M1A2 Abrams tank. Close to what appears to be the end of the conflict, a AH-1 SuperCobra is shot down, and you are tasked with rescuing the pilot, having just heard the alarming news that a nuclear device may be in the city. After rescuing the pilot, the nuclear warhead is detonated. and you and the rest of your squad, along with your CH-56 SeaKnight are downed.

A chilling scene follows, where you, as Jackson, are still able to crawl from the remains of your downed chopper. Looking around all you see is an eerie orange and the bodies of your comrades, strewn across the ground. To your right, a building crumbles. But as you turn toward the left, the immediately recognizable form of a mushroom cloud looms off in the distance. You stand, and walk towards it, only to fall victim to radiation poisoning. End of level, and of Paul Jackson.

Sgt. Paul Jackson
Status: K.I.A.

This game managed to surprise me in ways I didn't think were possible. Anyone thinking of purchasing it, do so. NOW!

Plus, who doesn't want the chance to operate an AC-130U gunship as it orbits high above the battlefield, raining down shells of doom.


Anyway, thats all.

More Demo Winsauce!



So, the Devil May Cry 4 demo was released on the marketplace today, I have already tried it out, and I must say it is a beautiful game. The graphics are very nice, and the sound is awesome. It has a rock soundtrack with some otherworldly sounding music mixed in for ambiance. Very fun gameplay, with very intuitive controls, you can do an assortment of moves to banish demons back to hell.
There are 2 modes of demo play, a boss battle and part of a level.
I was just blown away by the overall experience found in this game, its very fun to play. Once you get used to the way you can work out combos its enjoyable to mix it up and see what kind of moves you can pull off.

Overall this is a buy for me, I enjoyed this demo alot and will probably play it alot more before the actual game comes out later this year.

Turning Point...Fall Of Liberty?

Hey guys,
I just wanted to share with you quickly my thoughts on this demo. The demo is now available on the Xbox Live Marketplace as of this morning. This may possibly be the greatest demo to ever be released on the Marketplace. You start of at the top of a building under construction with planes flying around and shit blowing up everywhere. The sound in the game is absolutely astonishing, the sound is definately one of the games strong points. As you descend from the building with stuff blowing up everywhere you eventually climb through area's until you get to throw some dude off the room and steal his gun, and then the gun play begins.... The demo has a great way of introducing you to its gun play. The first guys you get to shoot at, are para shooting down so u get to see them die in mid air. The graphics in this game are nice, not prefect but definately passable. Character models are crisp, but the gun models are a little nasty, they could look better. One of the coolest things you get to do in the demo is.... you get to set off the fire alarm! Ya then the sprinklers go off and blaw blaw blaw. By the end of this demo I thought to myself wow! that's probably the best demo I've ever played, so do yourselves a favor and check this one out!
Thats it for me this Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008 c ya

I Can Has Recon?

For those living under a rock, there is armor in Halo 3 that we are not yet having. There are several theories related to the recon armor, the most prevalent one being that it can only be given to you by Bungie.
For those who wish to search more into the subject, there is a whole movement of Halo 3 gamers working on many other hints and clues within the game itself and given by those who have the armor in the game already.

My hunt for recon has been renewed with finding out that my color scheme (orange and sage) looks really sick on the recon armor.

MISSING: REWARD IF FOUND


So, if anyone with information regarding how to unlock this armor in campaign please come forward and help us here at Random Bloggings, we really would appreciate it. If I have to post a list of current recon owners (and no, not all are Bungie employees, or famous suiciders). Yes, we know who you are, we are just giving you a chance to share some wisdom, or cryptic clues with us.

Finally... can I has Zune, Scotty?

Macbook Air...

Hey guys,
I was checking out Apple.com for announcements on the Mac World '08, and found a couple of cool things.

Obviously the biggest new announcement was the Apple Macbook Air. They're paper thin, almost UMPS kind of portable laptop. I like the idea and it looks really interesting, seeing as it uses Wifi in ways nothing has used it before. I don't like the fact that it does not ship with an optical drive, but I do think the idea of wirelessly using another optical drive on a Mac or PC, is a cool idea. But it is not ideal, seeing as you do not always have access to another computer with an optical drive. Although great for travelling with, I feel as though with no optical drive, it would be rather difficult to travel with, even though it is small enough to fit almost anywhere. I see this laptop being used by buisness men who need to work or students who need a laptop to take notes, but for general use, you will need to buy the attaching optical drive, which will take up the USB port on the laptop. I think apple kind of fell short with this idea, seeing as gaming and video editing are what I like to do, this laptop can do neither without the attachment, and if I purchase the attachment I will not have a USB port to use... So I will probably pass on it. Nice try though Apple.

The next thing that caught my interest was the additions of Maps and notes and many other cool applications for the Ipod Touch, and the addition of customizing your home screen on both the touch and the Iphone, thats pretty cool!
As for the movie rental service comming to Itunes, I guess thats cool, but I don't often purchase anything from Itunes but it would seem to be an interesting addition.

Bottom Line, there really wasn't anything really interesting that came out of Apple this year, but I can see it being exciting for some people.

Thats it for today Tuesday January 15th 2008 c yaa

Back From Cruise

Hey guys,
Yup the CES 2008 sucked for Microsoft, there saving some of the bigger stuff for E3 (what a surprise). Anywho i'm back from my cruise actually flew in yesterday but I felt like shit. The flight back sucked, because I was sick and the captain made the decent to fast my ears almost started to bleed, I couldnt hear anything until this morning, it was painful. But other then the fact that I am sick, and I couldn't hear, I really enjoyed my vacation. I NEEDED a vacation, between beta testing, working and school, it was becoming to much for me to handle. Since I did not register for college this semester i'm looking out for a job to make $$$$, so I can go on vacation more often. And so i'm looking into working beta testing for Ubisoft montreal, full time I have to go in and talk with the teams and see if it sounds good or not.
Anyways I'm working on a video of my vacation i'll post up a link when i'm done.
Thats all for this Tuesday, January 15th 2008, c ya

Working Again!

So I got this new job with a company that just started here in Hopkins called Primo Inc.
We do call center work in home vacuum sales. Yes, I am an evil telemarketer, boo... hiss.
Now that I have taken care of that for you, really good job, nice hours and bonues every week and all sorts of chances for a raise, so suck it!
We work mostly from referalls, but since we just opened we are relying on cold calling, which sucks cause you get alot of people hanging up on you.

Well, thats pretty much it, me working means less time for Xbox 360, but my schedule is very nice in that I get most of my nights off leaving me more time to play games!

Oh, and Scotty.... GIMME A ZUNE!!! (no i will not stop)

CES 2008 Keynote

Bombed.

Really... it was about an hour shorter than scheduled. No product announcements. Nothing, just a lame video about Bill Gates and some lame shit. Topped off with a Guitar Hero 3 battle vs. the actual Slash.

Gay.


That is all.

Shame On You Xbox Live

Twice now in 2 weeks Xbox Live has had crippling outages. At this point I dont think an arcade game is gonna be very cool with anyone... especially if it ends up being Yaris 2:Revenge of the Gas Spiders.
This isnt working Microsoft, you should have known that the holiday season would be a time of huge growth for the service and yet you didnt prepare.

Last Post Before Vacation

Heyguys,
Today is Saturday and i'm wicked excited today we fly out to Miami to start our crazy vacation but after a long day of packing its time for me to catch some sleep. So I will not be posting for the next week and a half about after I come home and settle in and work on the ton of video footage I will have, I will post up a link to my vacation photos / videos as soon as I can. I will have my laptop on me but will not have access to Wi-Fi, the boat wifi is too expensive and I hear it is very slow, so I wish everyone a good week, and keep kickin ass guys.
Thats all for Today January 5th, 2008 C yaa
