TF2: Festively Festive

Just in time, I got myself several festive items. I have some doubles (obviously), so I'll hopefully trade them for different items soon.

The Saxxies Sucked

Posted by Hurricane iBrow , in Video Games Dec 01 2012 · 56 views

Where was the Saxxy for Practical Problems? Honestly. The least they could've done was give it to Sabotage... the winning video wasn't funny at all.
 
Also, Story of a Sentry should've won best drama.

Halo 3 - #9

Halo 3 is our (extremely late) ninth box art of the day. Normally a box art like this would be kind of meh, but Master Chief being as iconic as he is (and his pose being diagonal) gives the art depth. The wreckage in the background helps.

I also enjoy the heavily prevalent blue and orange tones throughout the picture.

Important Notice

Posted by Hurricane iBrow , in L4D2 Night, General Art, Short Stories, Epics, BZPower, Video Games, Life, Comedies Nov 15 2012 · 157 views

So it turns out I have a 70-something grade in a subject I absolutely need a 90-something in (English... bloody fantastic) so as of the moment this blog entry is posted, I am killing all internet ties for the time being until each of my marks are above an 85. What does this mean?

For the Ambage:
  • I will be unable to participate in any of the weekend write-offs until further notice. As a secondary note, do not expect me in the chats until this point arrives as well.
  • If I find the time I might still enter the flash fiction contests, but it is no guarantee.

For those of you that read my Comedies:
  • I will still update them. As of right now I am delaying the release of Vultraz Anniversary as I have yet to begin writing it, and I will not have time to write until further notice. However, thanks to my forward planning, when I remove my laptop from the equation I have a memory stick with all of the files regarding everything Tahu vs. Tahu, Dark Unto Days, and The Afterwords. Release will continue as normal.
  • The promos for The Afterwords will continue to be released. These too are on the memory stick.
  • I WILL still have the time necessary to run the Comedies Critics Club, as well as function as one of the leaders of the CF.
For those of you I do stuff with outside of BZP (Bzcraft, anything Steam):
  • I will be 100% gone from everything off of BZP until further notice. This means I will not be playing Minecraft, TF2, L4D2, GTA IV, Portal 2, etc. You will be unable to chat with me unless I activate steam on my desktop - and even if I do that, there will still be no games.
For those of you just here:
  • This blog will (most likely) be updated far less frequently. If you feel the need to talk to me about something for whatever odd reasons you have, send a pm.
Anyway, that's that. See you all in... whenever.

Wii U: Hands On

Posted by Hurricane iBrow , in Video Games Nov 14 2012 · 58 views

I went to HMV today to see if they had the Season 10 Blu-Ray of RvB (they didn't, but I didn't mind; waiting to buy it until later anyway). As I was leaving, I saw EB Games next door (the Canadian version of Gamestop) and, as I entered, it was as if a light was shining in the corner to the left...

You see, usually they have a Wii there, and I've grown accustomed to simply giving it a passing glance as I enter the store. None of the demos have interested me in a long time. However, today, I froze in the spot and my mouth dropped open - because there was the Gamepad in all of its glory, as if on a pedestal. I could hardly contain my belief - I simply hadn't dared to believe I would try the Wii U until months after release when I plugged it in at home.

The Gamepad was a wonder to have in my hands, and I honestly can't wait to see what developers do with it. I also got to play the whopping two levels of Rayman Legends (which was all they had to play, sadface), but it was enough to solidify Rayman at the very least as a must-have purchase. Although it was already my most wanted Wii U game, so... no surprises there. =P
