I mean gravity. I'm Forging Construct in Halo 3. The map I'm making mostly centers around hand to hand combat, namely Gravity Hammers. I might throw in a couple Plasma Pistols to make it interesting. "How is this interesting?" you may ask. Mostly because of the loads of equipment and 'nades and fusion coils lying around. It even has some Incindiary 'nades. It will be mostly good for Nades and Spades and a certain special low gravity high speed game variant I'm working on. The variant and map will be available in my file share upon completion. If my dad weren't playing Hexic right now I'd be working on it. BtB

*pop* *poof* Yes! The return of the *poof*! Not how it sounds! So anyway, I haven't been too active lately. That's because I got to open my Xbox 360 a little early and I've been playing a borrowed Halo 2. Before when I played it at my freinds house, there were screaming childrens everywhere, and there was always a race for the best weapons. And they assasinated me often. So I finished it today, and I got alot more out of it. ALOT more. (Yes, I am aware that isn't a word.) The story is way better than I thought, and the gameplay far surpasses Halo: CE. Hopefuly later tonight I'll get to start Halo 3. Oh, and if you majorly whupped a violet spartan in Halo 2 matchmaking, that was me. BtB

Star Fox 64, it has become an obsession of mine again. I was rather proud of these, I have still got to unlock Expert mode by obtaining all the medals. Some are very hard to get. Update, 1500+ baby! On Expert mode at that, the last pic there is the proof. That screen only appears when you beat the game on expert mode.

Orginaly posted Nov 5 2007, 05:18 PM I've been fiddling around on an online armor generator Aethisyl linked me, and I came up with the guy I'll be in multiplayer, or at least until I unlock some other armor variants. His name is Unda L'ramee. Edit: It's Charlie! Unda's accomplice! Or however you spell it! And a Spartan I made: BtB

I'm so excited about getting Halo 3. The multiplayer looks awesome... You can even mix and match armor types! You can mix the helmet types, chest types, and you can even have not-so matching shoulders! Wheeeeeeeeeeeee! I will most certainly be a Sangheili. BtB

This is a must have game for me. I really enjoyed Super Mario Sunshine when it was released, the uber challenging secret levels kept me busy for hours. This game is supposed to be bigger and better, if that was even possible! Mario also appears to have some new suits to change into. The classics are still there like the fire flower but now there are new ones like the bumblebee suit and ice Mario! Im hoping to pick this up on Friday or possibly sooner, has anybody played it yet? Ill leave you with a few screen shots, just to set the mood. Me big goomba! Mario takes a dip. Bubble Mario?

I really want to get an XBOX 360. Like, REALLY. This one to be precise: Isn't it pretty? My question is, do you think 20GBs is enough memory? Or do you think I should abandon it's pretty greenness and go for the ugly, plain-jane black 120GB? Or should I get the pretty Halo 3 one and go for a refurbished extra memory card? ~Sr. G

Metroid Prime: Hunters is a game I am not very good at. I blame Kohaku for beating me every single time I verse him. Unfortunately, I can't do random battles anymore, because everyone hacks nowadays. Gosh. So the point in all of this is: Let me win so I can gain points, people. =D Kthxbai!

Well its that time of year again, the E3 gaming expo! For those who have been living under a rock, see Here. Sorry Czar, I've had to remove the link because of the forums on the site. -Nukora I see a few major announcements recently, such as Metal Gear Solid 4, and Mario Kart Wii, both of which will be must have games for me. Nintendo also announced that the Wii will soon have a fitness board, a zapper and a steering wheel. Other announcements from today include a newer PSP handheld, with HD video output and an improved battery, which might even persuade me to buy one. Ill update this entry with breaking E3 news and new screenshots when I can. I will leave you with a few screenshots of some of my upcoming favorites! First up is Mario Kart for the Wii! This one looks fun: Metroid Corruption! A puzzle element? And of course, BRAWL! Samus and Link battle it out:

I have finally mastered this game, and I even bring pics. Anybody who has ever played this addicting game will know the time and effort put into these 2 huge cities. They also might understand what I am talking about there . Its rare to actually see pictures of completed Megalopolis cities, so here are both of mine! The first one is my latest, I have perfected the Donut building method and discovered a strategy that ensures all gifts I use will give the surrounding zones full potential (Tops). See the land value picture, I managed to build the pattern in a 6x5 setup for this one, on map 061. What is most surprising about this one is the well below average amount of Industrial zones needed for the average Megalopolis, see the City Overview pic. I think all those Tops and high land value zones compensated for the Industry. In the Pollution pic you can see I had to get clever in placing the I zones, as most of the edge of the map consists of Top zones, which is also rarely seen. A nice bit of advice, save your Cleopatra Headquarters for the center of the map. This way the crime stays lower in a high population density area where it is likely to be higher and also allows you to place gifts around the city center(where they help the surrounding zones the most) and maintain a good police radius. This is my best city so far, and I still have more gifts to use, several more Landfills and the Fountain. Map 061 City Center View: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/sfr...nc/000_0773.jpg Comprehensive: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/sfr...nc/000_0763.jpg Land Value(love this one): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/sfr...nc/000_0762.jpg Crime Rate(not bad, still gonna get rid of that orange though) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/sfr...nc/000_0764.jpg Pollution: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/sfr...nc/000_0767.jpg City Overview: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v738/sfr...nc/000_0770.jpg This next city was built on map 137, has roughly the same population and uses the same method of donut building and top zoning. However this one has quite a bit more Industrial zones along the edge of the map, and a more compacted 5x5 top zone setup. This one also has all the gifts used, even the Fountain. Notice how I placed some of the gifts in a cross like pattern along the center axis of the map(see land value pic). This gives the areas around that dotted cross you see when you scroll along the map the most potential.

Currently Listening to: Linkin' Park: Hybrid Theory The Matrix rocks. I put the first movie on my MP3, and have been making music videos. First I made a video with Matrix music, now I am using Numb. It rocks. Insanely. -FFBuu

So I was playing BF2142 and I find this: Clickith So I was like 'OMG, HAXOR!1!!!' and I reported him to EA. He got his stats reset back to zero. ---- In other news, I added a gangsta' Video Gallery. Watch them, then you could maybe PM me about it, especially if you are an Avatar Fan. Who says you can't post multiple entries in one day? -FFBuu

Score! So as I was out shopping today, I knew I had to find this game. I ended up going to 3 different stores, including Gamestop and TRU and nobody had it. Feeling bummed out I realized we needed groceries so I headed for K-Mart, which never has ANY new games when they are first released. By chance I took a peek in the gaming section and found 1 of the last 2 copies they had hidden on the bottom shelf. This has been hyped to be the best game on the Wii, hopefully it will not let me down! Does anybody else have it yet? The whole 2-D to 3-D graphic thing has me very anxious to play! Oh yeah, I got 2 Kalmah sets too since I needed one for my BBC 42 entries. The other Kalmah I purchased is for sale! My entries are going rather well I must say, I will have several different types of Rahi ready by the deadline hopefully. Looking to be a late entry for me as I still have much to do and now have this new game to play!

Picked up Sonic and the Secret Rings on Monday for the Wii. It is unlike any other game I have played before. It plays similar to Sonic Battle/Heroes but the controls are really something. At times I feel like I am steering a speeding comet with the wiimote. Attacking enemies can become quite the work out, as you have to first jump and then jab forward with the wiimote. Very fast paced action and interactive controls kept my hands sweating the whole time I played it. Making timed jumps across large gaps at breakneck speeds had me on the edge of my seat. At first I thought the story was a bit corny and predictable, but then it had a big plot twist early on that was surprising. Sonic happens to come across a magic lamp and rubs it by accident, releasing the genie Shara, who needs his help to restore the stories of the Arabian nights from an evil genie. The graphics are pretty good, and get real fancy when Sonic is blazing at full speed. Sound is your typical Sonic Battle lyrical tracks, catchy and quirky tunes are sticking in my head now! The voice acting is decent, but still the storyline itself makes it a bit corny. There are a ton of party/mini games in multiplayer mode, they are one of the best parts of the game, addicting and purely fun. The adventure mode is mostly missions on different areas of the Arabian world I would recommend it for the die hard Sonic fans, or people looking for something new and challenging. Not for anybody else though as it may prove too much for your average gamer. Ill leave you with a couple of screen shots so you have a better idea of the game. Shot 1 Shot 2 Shot 3

Well, staying up for about 30 hours at a time before, during, and after a Wii stakeout really takes it outta you. I would just like to formally apologise to anyone who tried to contact me during the fifteen-hour period I was asleep. Let me rephrase that... Anyone who tried to contact me with something meaningful. So Kohaku, you're out. Syn's message of "Hi" ranked higher in importance than your usual "HUNTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" So yeah. ~GN (Y)

Or rather, should I say, Wii. That's right. Giggy has aquired the Nintendo Wii. A friend and I camped out in front of Best Buy last night in order to score a Wii. During this time, we met many new prospective Wii buyers and also had fun participating in Mario Kart DS, Star Fox Command, Halo, and Super Smash Brothers Melee tournaments. We sat out in the freezing weather (thank goodness it was a clear night!) and ended up recieving #s 33 and 34 of the 87 recieved Wiis. I also scored an extra Wiimote and Nunchuk controller, plus Twilight Princess. However, if you wish to know how it plays, you'll have to wait. I'm only going to be able to open it on christmas... But all the same... STICK THAT IN YOUR MOUTH AND CHEW IT, KOHAKU!!! ~GN (Y)

Ok, Kohaku is one of the primary snipers on MP:H wifi, right? And sniping is basically a hunting skill, right? So how earth can Kohaku be a VEGETARIAN?!?!? Sure, he can headshot me any time he wants to, but he can't kill an animal??? WHAT KIND OF WORLD DO WE LIVE IN?!?!?! ~GN (Y)
-
I played Kohaku on MP:H last night and amazingly came to a draw against him!!! I usually lose horribly to him, but i mean this is a personal accomplishment. Kohaku is not a supreme ruler, lol. ~GN (Y)

Well this is the first blog in the Video Games category. I figure I'll start it off with some reviews, first off a game everyone here has heard of... Bionicle: The Video Game (PS2) Plot The Bionicle video game dosn't have much of a plot. It does have some story line elements thrown in although most of these are totaly unexplained in the game and contradict the actual storyline. Some of these inconsistancies include: The Toa's transformation into the Nuva without any explanation; Takua becoming Takanuva seemingly by accident, and under completely different circumstances then in the movie; Gali Nuva taking out all six Bohrok Kal at once; and The Bohrok Kal being included with no real purpose except to serve as a boss battle. Special Features I suppose being able to play as the original Toa could be considered a feature, other then that all Bionicle: The Video Game has going for it is some concept art and "the making of" thing. Play Control The controls are decent for the most part. The controller configuration is prety standard with buttons to move around, jump, and shoot an energy blast among others. On a few levels however, like the "surfing" ones and the flying portion of Lewa's level the controls are horrible. Often you find yourself plunging to your death due to unresponsive controls or a poor camera angle that you can do nothing about. Graphics For the most part the graphics are okay. A few of them could be a little better animated though. Music Like the graphics, the music is just okay. It can get really reppetitive in spots and I generally turn it off. Difficulty Bionicle isn't too hard for most gamers, in fact a lot of the control problems are what make it difficult at all. Overall 80% Bionicle: The Video Game is just okay. It comes off as a game that could have been great if more time had been put into development, but as it is the uncoordinaed story, the poor controls, and the reppetitive music really bring down its overall rating. Its really a shame too because this game had tons of potential. Dulon
