SURPRISE! I bet you didn’t see this coming… and post by me! How crazy is that?! Well with work coming to a crawl since the holidays are over, I’d thought it’d be neat if I posted 1 thing.
As you may have remembered on the day of September 21, 2007 I posted a video to the best game not to be coming to North America. You may also remember that the name of said game was Metal Wolf. Well if you ever wanted to see someone play it, now you CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!.
Seriously, how could this game not come out to NA?? It’s basically all in Engrish except for a couple of menus. Damn you From Software damn you straight to hell!
There may be more posting to come in the following days. Please hold your breath!
FUCK YEAH!. September is going to be awesome. First Crysis and now Victorious Boxing with full wii boxing is coming. VB is the game version of Hajime no Ippo manga/anime, which is the best sports anime ever. Seriously, nothing comes close to it, the characters all kick so much ass. OH HAPPY DAYS (I’m 6 days late to this news).
As the summer grinds on and I become incresingly busy, I’ve largely surrendered to the fact that my bi/tri daily posts have become something every few days. I love the internets, but sometimes you just can’t hack it. Gomen!
E3 is going on right now. This is basically like a nerdcore version of xmas where we tally up the big hits out paychecks will take as games come out throughout the year. 10s of my dollar are immediately being set aside for Aqua Teen Hunger Force Zombie Ninja Pro-Am. Cart racing combat golf? Yes!
Charanjeevi! I can’t get enough of the guy, and apparently India can’t either. I am really going to have to invest some time in catching up on my Bollywood lore, as this stuff is beyond ridiculous. Fight scenes with flying tractors? I am ever-so-slighty dissapointed that there was not a tractor dance scene included in this clip as well.
I am like so totally uninterested in sports, but the power of this totally ballsy pitch compels me! Intentional or not? It’s great either way.
Yesterday I found out that I had somehow missed a book by one of my favorite authors Umberto Eco in which a character with near-total amnesia revisits all the print and media he’d accumulated through life. It made me think of this gaming nostalgia clip, as I had about 60 flashbacks watching the damn thing. Oh man, faxanadu! Battletoads: I will never forgive you. NEVER.
So, building on my previous gaming diatribe, what is a “gamer” anyhow? The frat guy who marathons Madden and Halo isn’t going to have a lot in common with the artsy kids lauding Okami and Pheonix Wright. And neither has the slightest idea how to deal with the pokemonster circuit. So it’s no shock that companies looking to market to “gamers” miss the mark in such bland, obviously fake ways.
Now these people are gamers. I can’t even imagine what I look like sometimes, but I hope to god it’s nothing like The Hannibal.
I think that at this point making any attempt to declare what makes a “gamer” either becomes elitist or hopelessly muddled. Maybe it’s time for some expanded slang to cover all of thesefolks? Heck, and that’s just the MMO crowd.
At this point, I think we should all be collectively happy that the term doesn’t equate to something like this.
To cut down on the medical terms, I’ll simply state that my face looked like Sloth from Goonies for the last half week. I have photo proof, but the picture is far too hideous for public consumption. It literally looked like cartoon characters when they have toothaches, minus the poultice. The timing of all of this was horribly bad, as I had to miss a friend who was in town for the weekend only, not to mention my sister’s b-day dinner. Blah.
Anyhow, it’s time to put the scurvy outbreak aside and get back to the awesomeness, ye lubbers.
First off, the kid’s band Total Annihilation rocks so hard. Check out the stooges cover… and the names! I predict that Eddy Demon becomes the next Cheetah Chrome. Dorkmeister Harmoniak? Genius.
I think these folks may have some technical work to do to keep up with some foreign competition, though. It’s rather contrived, but those kids are soooo shredding in that Japan-is-trapped-in-time kind of way.
Ever wonder where all the dances in WoW came from? Now you know!
I’ve finally got my copy of the new Battles cd and will post some impressions later. This is probably my last post for today, but I’ll hopefully be keeping up with at least daily posts from now on. Yeaarrrrgh!
And that time is for me to break Lac’s consecutive posts! What do I have that’s so awesome that I have to break his posting? Well it’s nothing other that Superman being a Super Dickery. That’s back when comics meant something, and when Lois married and divorced Superman every 3rd hour of the day. That’s when Superman is not taking Lois Lane out into space and leaving her there to die. It’s a feel good moment for everyone!
What’s more hilarious than that is the new Halo 3 beta. Well apparently the crackdown link is still grey and people are freaking out. People skipped work and school for nothing! What do they do? Head over to bungie.net and complain about how the beta isn’t out/wanting to kill themselves (so emo).
Someone had to stop Lac posts from taking over the front page!
And I thank Boys on Wheels. I must say those songs are great. It’s better than most of the stuff out there. This reminds me of the South Park episode where it’s Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld!. Apparently Youtube only has that in the french version so enjoy the hilarity there!
Well I went the crazy route and finally decided to give the game that has super powers in it. You know the one I’m talking about, City of Heroes.
Who’s ready to see our level 12 Hero Falconsox? If you’re not TOO BAD!
I also made Eaglesox, arch-nemesis of Falconsox but I’ve yet to get a pic of him due to me playing Falconsox too much. 2 more Levels and I get the power of FLIGHT!
