It’s Promising So Far
Dreamfall is turning out to have one incredibly riveting story (And I mean by any standard, not just “for a game”), so this’ll keep me busy for the next little bit. In addition, there was a spring cleaning of sorts over at the GameAxis office and I now have The Sims [...]
Too… Many… Games…
Always a nice situation to be in. The latest acquisition is this:
Yep, Dreamfall: The Longest Journey, and now I’ll finally get some closure, or at the very least, a little more knowledge of what happened to my favorite spunky adventurer, April Ryan, in a game that most people are saying is [...]
The House Of Elder Scrolls IV
You know that you’re living in a House Of The Hardcore Gamer when it’s a married couple that has to take shifts playing their individual characters in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. This is essentially a massive “offline MMO” in that it has the huge scope and non-linear [...]
Random Thought For The Day
It occurs to me that we should ALL be so lucky as to “work like a dog.”
When you consider that the average dog spends most of the day sleeping until the owner comes home, then gets fed, or taken out for a walk where he is free to urinate or [...]
The Quick Movie Opinion
Having watched X-Men: The Last Stand just the night before, I can now say that it was Just Okay. While by no means a bad movie, with some decent acting, a plot that felt logical and some nice action set-pieces, the actual flow of the story often felt uneven, [...]
HOLY CRAP
I JUST BEAT BARK AT THE MOON ON THE EXPERT LEVEL OF GUITAR HERO!
!!!!!!!
I’m so happy I could puke. Now all that’s left is finishing up the other less hard songs on Expert (I was an idiot and tackled the hardest song first) and I’ll be able to face Guitar Hero 2 with [...]
Getting Paid To Play
And by that I don’t just mean video games.
It’s a bit weird how the summer months always seem to turn into the good ones for creative work that you end up actually getting paid for. I’m still kind of shrugging my shoulders in a half-assed, “Finally!” sort of way over the [...]
Comics! Scripts! Games!
Man, there’s just a lot of stuff to write all of a sudden, and barely any time to play…
Yet Another Brief Post
I was busy writing up the review for a truly wretched Xbox 360 game called N3: Ninety-Nine Nights. As beautiful as a girl on Venice Beach on a Saturday afternoon, and sadly, about as deep and engaging. If ever there was a game that qualifed for Digital Bimbosity, this is [...]
The Tired Post
Specifically because it was a long day at the office, followed by a special preview once again courtesy of the Shaw Brothers (Yes, THOSE Shaw Brothers, the ones that used to make chop socky flicks back in the day and are now reduced to just owning movie theaters) of Grandma’s Boy. Initially [...]
