So I finally beat BioShock 2 last night, which means I've now gotten through them all. I still have the trials to mess around with and Minerva's Den to do, but the main games are complete (and of course Infinite's DLC, whenever that'll come out). And wow. These had long, looooong been on my radar as games to play. And I just didn't. After having played all of them, I just can't explain why. Infinite was amazing. It was such a compelling story and that twist at the end... Oh man. Made the sec
1. RED TEAM RULES 2. RED TEAM.... managed to kill one of those dirty Blues... 3. One half of Red Team may have been stupid and killed himself. :| So yeah, that hardcore approach was definitely much more stressful. But I kinda liked it. Change every not and again is nice. Looking forward to whatever's next. ~|ET|~
Well, here's what arrived this month: So Springer is one solid Transformer. He's not entirely perfect, but really he's one of the best I've ever had. Still haven't found a Shockwave, Blaster, or Blitzwing at prices I like... Oh well... BioShock? Oh man that game was amazing. Already beat it twice, with the second being for the Brass Balls achievement. Man was that a challenge at first, but you eventually just accept you need to save every 5 minutes haha. Haven't started 2 yet though.
It started with a ravine. In that ravine, mossy stone bricks. Connected to those mossy stone bricks, a fortress. My first naturally-discovered fortress - and by pure accident. Within that fortress, a library. Within the library, a chest. Within the chest... FOUR Silk Touch enchanted books! There was a fifth such book outside the portal room and an Infinity book in another chest! The catch? I was playing a PvP game and as such they were all (sans Infinity) useless. ~|ET|~
So Microsoft just retracted its 24-hour check-in and limited game sharing policies* that had make many fans around the globe - myself included - deride and reconsider sticking with the next generation Xbox console. So to make it clear: You do NOT have to be online every 24-hours You CAN sell your games at your discretion I'm pretty much back on board, even at $100 more than the PS4. I honestly considered changing because of these restrictions and how arrogant Microsoft's execs were being abo
Gonna get this out right away: MEGA MAAAAAAAN!!! That is AWESOME news! And he looks like such a versatile character. I can't wait to play as him. Only have plans for the 3DS version as of now, though. But then they almost killed it all with the Wii Fit trainer! xP I know joke characters are a thing, but that seems just a lotbit too silly for me. Almost killed the Mega Man hype. Just kidding, can't knock that down. Then of course Animal Crossing villager... yay? So yeah, really excit
Because I'm SICK of discussions about the consoles themselves. So just games here, folks. In order of excitement: KINGDOM. FREAKING. HEARTS. THREE!!! I know it's only an in-development announcement and it's probably not going to see the light of day for a while, but I am still really, really, really looking forward to this. BattleFRONT! Haha so confusing with that and Battlefield, especially since both are by DICE now... But yeah, considering it wasn't that long ago that EA even got the ri
Well, my twenty-first birthday is almost over. It was a pretty modest day - even still went to work haha - but fun nonetheless. And before anyone asks, I didn't even go get a drink... although I did have dinner with my girlfriend and was handed the drinks menu without even being asked, and despite her pestering didn't try. It's just not what I want to do heh. So yeah... I'm 21. It's cool I guess lol. (Oh, and loot! $50 Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Apoca
Here we go! Really, really happy with Pit and Charizard, despite the latter's box being completely ruined during shipping. But yeeet agaaain, numerous Transformers figures have eluded me this month. Even online... Just can't be found whenever/wherever I look... Also, after fixing the glitches I was having with BioShock Infinite (thank god that was very early in the game), I ended up thoroughly enjoying the game. Already did two playthroughs and got all of the achievements! Can't wait f
Aside from being just about the worst name ever, I was pretty excited for the console reveal. Until people started attacking it and insisting Sony's better in the three other places I was talking about it during the reveal. Even though I never tried to bring up any of that console war idiocy. Then of course they get mad at me for trying to defend things or tell them to take it elsewhere or whatever... but yeah, oh well. Don't care about the EA sports games (at all) or Forza 5. Quantum Break
Just finally bought Bioshock Infinite yesterday... and already it has me raging. I keep getting reset really far back every time I load the game and hit continue. Like, hours of gameplay lost. After dealing with this twice, I did some Internet digging and found you can go to "Load Chapter" to find more recent ones... but dear lord, my most recent checkpoint is still not that close to where I left off. They are way too far apart. It doesn't help that the autosave animation plays often, but se
Because of service like this: The boxes were worse; was even more caved when my sister picked it up from outside. Where it had been sitting who knows how long, because they never even tried ringing the door bell or notifying us anything was here. My sister had been up since 7 AM and had no clue it was here. A small correction: Apparently she did know, but forgot about it for a few hours. >_< Nonetheless, we didn't have to sign for it or anything. It was just dropped off. The content
So this month was pretty awesome. And that includes some of my haul. First of all, thank you very, very much TheFMAlchemist63 for Karzahni & co. and Radiak. They're all sets I've wanted for quite a long time and I'm very happy to have them. And Mewtwo? Wow. If the D-Arts line had started with Pokémon, I think it'd be an even bigger success right now. Although, my Mewtwo is a little defective. :/ Came out of the package with a messed up right bicep; it popped off and shredded some
So our game was voted best in the class! For those wanting to check it out, here it is again. And HERE is a link to (most of) the other games made by the class. I'm quite a fan of Neuro, Leecher, and Gravity Assist myself. Overall the last day of classes for my sixth semester of college ended on quite the high note. Had a pizza party in one class and won a Pizza Hut gift card in another. And had a ton of fun gaming with my club last night. ~|ET|~
Well, it was for a school project, so time was limited. Otherwise I'd love to keep working on this. But here's what we managed to get together. The Final Game! (And for those of you that get frustrated, here's the final level ) I would have loved to have gotten in 10 more levels, but compared to other games in the class, 15 is a lot. And it seemed to get a pretty warm reception during yesterday's demo, too. Looking forward to tomorrow's now, although I'll probably be playing more of the o
Well, came in last in yet another BZPC. But I did thoroughly enjoy the change of pace this one presented. And of course, the post-game shenanigans were as fun as always. ~|ET|~
I want to blog and didn't really know what to do. EDIT: We've added 5 more levels and tweaked the player controls some. So here's my game so far! As of this post, there's only 5 workable levels. I'd especially appreciate some feedback on level 5... Whether it's too hard or anything else you think should be changed. Oh! And the title screen is horrible, so here are some instructions. xP Left/Right or A/D to move left and right. Up/W/Space to jump P activate phase mode. You can walk thro
Finally sat down and watched the first episode of Firefly last night with some friends. I have to say... I thoroughly enjoyed it. The only thing that seemed odd to me was that both in pacing and aesthetics it seemed very much more film-like than an episode of a TV show. That's not to its detriment at all, but was just a curios observation. Don't know when I'll find time for the rest, but I have no doubt I'd like to watch it. ~|ET|~
So my angry mood was spoiled by being intercepted by more people than I thought would be there before the meeting. Instead, I played up the sadness. I acted very morose. Immediately had them asking if I was alright; that I seemed depressed. Played that out for the next half hour; stayed distant, outside the room, like I couldn't be around anyone. Then gave my speech about deciding to disband the club, apparently quite convincingly. They were pretty much speechless. As I closed the door, one of
So for those of you that don't know, I run a video game club. Tonight we are set to elect a new vice president, as our current vp will be graduating at the end of the semester. It's somewhat known within the club that I've been frustrated by our current vp because of her recent shenanigans, but that's a story for another time and place. The point is it might be understandable that I could be a little angry. And I'm counting on that. I plan on announcing an alternative solution to our vic
Well, only one thing arrived in time for this month's haul pic. But I've got plenty more on the way already. This is the figure I alluded to in an earlier blog post about a purchase being disappointing. Allow me, please, to explain that. It's an import figure and rather than buying from a Japanese outlet, I chose to support the US distributor in this instance. However, it took a little longer than usual for their stock to get in, which was rather frustrating when nothing was being said on i
Gotta just love it when several preorders fall very close together and you find other stuff you really want for sale... I hope I'm happy with the rest of the stuff I'm getting, because the first in the lot (and possibly the only one that'll get here in time for this month's haul) is somewhat disappointing.. But yeah, I need to watch my spending. :x Luckily I've only got one thing preordered next month and don't think I'll be buying much else, at least not anything too expensive. ~|ET|~
