Yay! I got my super cool Zelda soundtrack in the mail... Now I have to box it away like all of my other swag

Now if I can only find a use for that damn 3DS...

Like the title indicates, preload is on! I'm so excited to play this and find out if the Chell clone will run into any Half-Life teasers

Also, if anyone out there has SSFIV for the 3DS feel free to add me. I need some challengers on the olde friend list (2793-0620-9353) I'll add ya back A.S.A.P.

I'm not one to complain about Bioware's efforts, but this recycled dungeon in Dragon Age II is complete bullshit. How many times do I have to see the same cave map? I like the story so far, but the recycled dungeon is really cutting into my enjoyment of the game and it's very distracting.

This game is a total rush job and it's starting to vex me.

...At least I know some of the profits from this game will go towards a better Mass Effect experience in some time.

F**k Sakes.

Decided to start adding my old PC games to my CAG list:
Unreal Tournament 2004, Wing Commander: Prophecy, Halo 2...
Ooooo! The moderator accepted my box art for DDS: Megami Tensei!

When all of a sudden I came across an old copy of "Shogo: Mobile Armor Division". one of the first games to ever use the Lithtech(1.0) Engine. This game came out around the same time as Half-Life and it was damn awesome. After a half hour of playing with it, trying to get a game with 16-Bit installer to work on my 64-Bit rig, I managed to find a workaround.

This game still holds up and , people are still playing it online.

If anyone can still find this gem, get it. The shooting mechanics still hold up and it spews all over Half-Life 1's shooter mechanics.

I'm not talking mess about HL1 or anything. Solid story and all round fun game, but it does not hold a light to the Lithtech 1.0 engine as a classic FPS. And the online, although...

I throw my dusty old PSPgo up on Kijiji. I hate this thing and I'm a moron for getting one(slaps forehead). So while it's still worth something, I stick it on Kijiji for $80.00. I'm taking a hit on the price just to get rid of the damn thing and email is spammed with the likes of these assholes out there that reply with:

"From: seamz2009@derp.com(not a real address)
60 cash will pick up asap"

For sakes, really?
Being a CAG is one thing, being a cheap ass douche is another.
Is the PSPgo really that worthless or am I just dealing with jerkoffs here?

...And yes I totally read my spam emails just hoping for garbage like this which I find oddly amusing.

Sad? Yes. but really, who gives a ?

I shit you not: I almost got smoked by an owl on my way home from work. WTF?!

...that is all.

Look at what I found for $4.99 at my local GameStop (EB Games) in Saskatoon, Sk:


Besides the stickers, it's mint. sharp edges on the manual. no bends maybe played once. Wow.
Also, I got a copy of Zone of the Enders. I think I'll play that for the first time today.

Great way to start the day

...Is awesome. Slowdown or not; It's simply awesome fun stuff. I want more.

That is all.

I just read on a cool article on G4 about Lorne Lanning and the future of the Oddworld series:

"There's a lot of things on the shelf right now," Lanning said when asked about the new game. "We had a few on the fire, and they're still on the shelf...there's a lot of shakeup going on [in the gaming industry] and in that turmoil, we didn't really want to put the Oddworld brand out there in the middle of it, so we're working on some other things that we'll be announcing shortly."

..."As for what Lanning plans to announce, he said, "What we're working on now is more of a platform issue, not an IP. I can't go into much more description than that.""

- It's great to see the Oddworld Inhabitants are back in business! I'm glad they have a strategy in place to futureproof their IP. As for the "platform issue", it almost sounds like all the other developers who has had a platform issue... Possibly...

I played a bit of Crimson Skies today. There was maybe a couple 2 player dogfights available. Had a bit of fun. After that I went to work. After work I came home to see what's up on live and there were TONS of people playing. I never had so much fun playing this classic since the old "O.G" Xbox system link parties.

A couple of matches in, I entered a new Dogfight match and it was up to 16 max players... It was the Giant Bomb crew along with many others. That was so ing awesome.

What a way to cap off my Crimson Skies nostalgia. I can't wait to see the Xboxalypse replay on ustream tomorrow. That was so sweeeeeet!

A big shoutout to "Jimmea" and "RedHatDrew". I couldn't have had more fun getting shout out of the sky. Crates! Crates everywhere!!!!

O.G. Xbox live is going down at midnight tonight.
Catch me on the 360 playing Crimson Skies for final night of aerial deathmatching!

I just got a "new" copy of Deadly Premonition.
Bought it from Gamestop this morning "brand new" with no shrink wrap and a gross white price tag sticker on the front of the case and sealed with a sticker.

For a cool $25.00 brand new, it even included fingerprints on the disc.

...Sweet deal, Gamestop. Sweet Deal.

Now to swallow my pride and to see what all the fuss is about. Maybe it'll be good, who knows? Oh, and before I forget; Gamestop!
...and I also got a copy of Otogi for $3.00

edit: just because a game is $20.00 in the US doesn't mean it's $20.00 everywhere else. there's a $5-10 markup in Canada for some Shaq-Fu'ing reason.
