I'm watching videos of Killzone 2 and am really hyped by it! I don't know what I was more pumped for. Metal Gear Solid 4 or Killzone 2? Solid Snake brings up old memories but Killzone has a place my gamer heart. But what ever, these gameplay videos look sick!

FEAR 2 Level Design.
I haven't posted on here in a while because it's been hectic! Two things I just want to point out,
1. I will be playing the RE5 demo tomorrow at my friend Dean's house
2. Hell YES! to #1.
It looks amazing and my buddy sent me a text today saying, "RE5 is hard". Haha. I remember playing Resident Evil 4 and entering the first town, I was just like, "damn, this game is hard." Does anyone else remember how hard the first town was? And how hard the first chainsaw guy was!? I wonder if they nuked the characters to hit a younger audience. I really hope they don't! The difficulty of the game was what made it interesting. Well, until you picked up better weapons later on. Then you just rolled every zombie like you were playing Left 4 Dead.
Besides this, I'm really excited for FEAR 2. The demo had some problems (I played the PS3 version) like frame rate issues and the controls were "clunky". By clunky, I mean that any FPS developer should not! I mean NEVER assign the R2 and L2 buttons as shoot! It just doesn't work the same way it does on the Xbox 360. That and get rid of the whole glowing enemies. That just takes away from the realism the game is trying to achieve. I'm just nit picking because the game looks good. After seeing this video from IGN, I'm back to "really excited" for the game again. Check this out!

RE5!!!!!!
OMG, a Resident Evil game that you get to duke it out with Wesker? I'm all in! 2009 Gaming is looking so fucking good! Sony has a terrific line up coming up! (Heavy Rain, Killzone 2, Uncharted 2, GOW3, RE5, Prototype). I know that some of those are multiplication but still!

Infamous looks awesome!
The animations look so fluid on the Infamous! The game itself is turning out to look like a hot seller in 2009. The only concern I have is the enemy differences in design. Frankly, there is none. They all seem to wear this red cloak and fight against the protagonist. I hope there more variations and some that take advantage that your powers are only electricity (i.e. a water enemy that runs at you to hold you and fry your powers. Leaving you only to use melee or to maneuver around the enemy till your powers come back!). I'm sure that the developers of Sly Cooper will create a masterpiece! Here's a sweet video from CES from them.

My New Years Resolution
I thought I'd share my New Year's resolution. I think everyone has an idea in which gets lost in the daily stress of life. This way, I can look back and see how much I've achieved. They kind of remind me of Playstation 3 trophies or Xbox 360 achievements, LuLz.
--New Years Resolution List--
Be open minded and don't turn down everything instantly.
Get out more.
Have a new outlook in life.
Marry Jessica Alba. Make 2 babies.
Eat out more occasionally and order their "most popular dish"
Try not be an ass.
Get into a serious relationship.
Be thankful for what I got.
Talk to my favorite people more often! You know who you are! <3
Take down all the posters in my room and re-do it.
Go/do to more lans!
Get matthew to quit wow.
Meet Allan in IRL. Try not to die from all the laughter and outrageous free styling he'll do when I meet him.
Start drinking tea in the morning.
Take a trip.
Try something new every week.
Enter in more competitions.
Start running at 11 oclock at night again.
Don't deal with bullshit anymore.
Stop making fun of Jon Amidjojo because he's bi-curious.
Learn 3ds Max like a professional.
Learn the lyrics to "I'm the best mang" by Eli Porter (the greatest MC ever to live. Look him up on urban dictionary. if it's on there, it's legit right?)
Make Sam Wittig buy me a damn movie.
Find something to fill my "Pownce" void.
To go around and tell people I don't know that I'm a famous hand model. Slap them when they look at hands.
Place in under 64th place on the Resistance 2 tourney!
Attend another GDC!

Really interesting read about Left 4 Dead
Read this [ Link ]
I think it's amazing how play testing and general game design help create the game we all love(at least I really do!) today. The thing I love the most about Left 4 Dead is the clear idea of where your suppose to go! My Counter-strike team decided to just run through the level. Who ever got knocked down became a pipe bomb! I don't memorize the levels in L4D and running through, I had a clear, precise knowledge of where to go! That's what makes the game so enjoyable. The lack of frustration (unless your playing on Expert). Check out the differences in screenshots!
Early Version of L4D:
Later Version:
For more information go to the link above!
Edit:
While playing today, I found a sweet server which tracked what achievements you could/not do still. One example is that we shot each other already (which angered me cause I was going for that achievement) so we couldn't get the achievement for "Completing a campaign without a person taking any friendly fire damage". I also saw the Hulk in the server. My buddies and I quickly disposed of him. Check out this pic of it!

Lars and the Real Girl
First off, Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a safe and fun time!
Now for the my first post for the new year.
I've been meaning to watch the movie, Lars and the Real Girl. Here's the trailer!
After seeing this a while back, I thought it'd be a comedy with somewhat of a story. WAS I WRONG OR WHAT! It was actually a love story with a hint of comedy. I for one am usually one for action and horror movies but this is one hit a home run with me. I really enjoyed it! I think what sets with me was the soundtrack. There is a scene in the movie in which little words are said (I know, I know, it's bland but I'm trying not to say any spoilers). The music becomes the words of the characters on scene and it felt like it just clicked together. This is definitely one of those movies that you need to see! Hey, look at me. I'm not a fan of typical chick flicks but this movie is just too well done to pass up!
