The News and How Stupid They Look!

I was checking out Edge's top 10 gaming videos and I found this little treat. Seeing that Christmas comes and everyone sits down and plays their games, I thought this would be appropriate. WARNING, you WILL notice the following:
1. Stupidity of the news.
2. How the news treats Geoff and cuts him off at the end
3. It is really sad when the lady talks about "What happened to Atari, and pinball..."

MGS on LBP looks really nice!

I'm really digging the VR missions they are showing. What do you think?

X-Men Origins

For the people who didn't go see The Day the World Stood Still, here's the X-men Origins movie trailer. I'm actually excited for it and I first wasn't. Two things that make it interesting.
1. Gambit is in it
2. GAMBIT IS IN THE FUCKING MOVIE
X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE HD

Game Damage!

As I'm writing this, I'm loading up the Game Damage website which at the moment looks like it's being brought down by it's truckload of visitors. I'm dead serious, the website is loading so slow that I think I'm on 56k! It could possibly be my internet but by seeing on popular Yahtzee is with his Zero Punctuation reviews, I wouldn't doubt the site hit a 200k visitor mark already. What's that you say? You never saw a review by him? Get out of the cave and watch this:

Well, he's in a new show that will probably with a huge following. I'm just spreading the word because it's something fresh. You can tell that they're doing this from out of their pocket since the ending contest is for a bag of sweets (probably gummy bears?!?). Besides that, it had some interesting moments (i.e. the Duke Nukem Design Team) and some other boring parts (The MGS rip offs. Come on, it's been done and it just feels more annoying than good). It also seems wierd seeing Yahtzee on another game show because you kind of hear his old rants on this show. Besides that, I feel it's a well done video cast(is that what it's called these days?). Here's the video:

What!?!!!?!!?

I just watched the Spike Video Game Awards and I thought it was pretty well made! It seemed like an event for the gamers (even if it was a little geared toward male gamers). The one thing I will debate was the "Game of the Year" award. Come on, seriously? Grand Theft Auto 4?!!?! I will give them that that game must have been a long painful process to create (the level of detail is quite amazing!) but still! I really thought Fallout 3, Little Big Planet, Metal Gear Solid 4 or Gears 2 would have taken it! I rooted for Dead Space to pick it up but I knew better for that. Well, whatever, congratulations to everyone who got an award! I also thought Will Wright's speech about how he got into gaming to be inspiring. It kind of reminds me of when I first started thinking about creating games.

oh ya, the Uncharted 2 trailer was really well done. Everytime I see Drake, he really feels down to earth. I can see myself in his shoes and saying his exact words and another game about him is FREAKING AWESOME! Here's the trailer!

Birthday

I just want to thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. Most people think it's just nothing to say Happy Birthday but to me, it does. It was really funny to see all the inside jokes I've had with people and to remember back to good old times. Some ones that pop in my head is Gina and The Outsiders. This sparks up moments in stupid middle school classes I had (with a certain info lit teacher). Good times! Speaking of good old times, in Pownce, people would post pictures of the avatars and ask people what changed. If you were apart of the close community, you would know. That said, I forgot and now I regret it because the site is closing down. Anyways, I grabbed a quick screen render so I can remember that my birthday marked a close date to Pownce's December 15th closing. R.I.P. Pownce.


I'm going to definitely play some old video game titles till parents arrive home in a few hours then see what's up. Play some of my old favorites (Half Life, Sonic, Power Stone, Counter-Strike, Left 4 Dead(okay, this one's new but it's amazing), Ratchet and Clank, and many more). Thanks again for the wishes!
