Anyways soon I will have a decklist of what I run/want to run soon enough. For the three people who might look at this. Did I mention it was 1:20 AM?

Und nun zu XreaL: Ein neuer F2P Shooter basierend auf der Quake 3 Engine. Die Engine wurde ziemlich aufgemotzt sind ganz nett aus. Das Spiel ist zur Zeit in der Pre-Alpha, daher gibt es auch erst wenige Maps und nur ein Model. Aber gut Pre-Alpha halt, da kann man nich meckern. Hab euch n kleines Video von nem Bot-Match gemacht und mal das Menü gezeigt, sieht 1,5:1 zu so wie das von Quake 3 Arena.
Zum Video auf Rapidshare (knapp 50 MB)

Now, if only I had a decent camera to join in the revolution. Oh wait, that's the way to break the system. ~evil thoughts hatch~ :P

Speaking of mean/silly thoughts, here's a game for the easily amused:

Oh, that's a fun one - mean, but fun...and disgusting.
~kicks the dog on the way out for getting in the way~ ;P
TGIF!

Vamos ao que interessa: os novos personages anunciados. Do lado da DC, juntam-se a Super-Homem, Batman, Flash e Mulher-Gato: Shazam (Capitão Marvel - que usa o raio do mago Shazam contra seus inimigos, com na minissérie O Reino do Amanhã), Lanterna Verde (Hal Jordan) e... Coringa!

Do outro lado do ringue, juntam-se a Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Shang Tsung e Sonia: Jax, Kitana e Liu Kang (que não é zumbi como no último jogo). Todos os personagens terão movimentos finais especiais, mas não espere ver o Batman arrancando a espinha de Scorpion. Os heróis terão brutalities que imobilizarão os inimigos, já os vilões e personagens do universo de Mortal Kombat terão os tradicionais fatalities.

Jimmy Palmiotti fez mistério sobre quem será o chefão do jogo, mas deixou pistas. "É o Darkseid?", perguntou um fã. Palmiotti apenas sorriu e disse: "Esperem alguns meses, vocês não vão se decepcionar!".

Com o jogo chegará às comic-shops dos EUA um gibi especial que servirá como prelúdio para a história. Que, cá entre nós, a essa altura do campeonato já não importa mais.

Jordan Mechner

Mechner, autor do roteiro ao lado de Doug Miro, Carlo Bernard e Boaz Yakin, disse o que todo roteirista repete: o desenvolvimento dos personagens é peça fundamental do filme: "Você quer ser levado em uma jornada emocional, se importar com os personagens". Segundo ele, a trama será muito mais do que corre-corre em corredores de palácio, e que um grande número de personagens aparecerá na tela.

O roteiro, explica, é todo baseado em Sands of Time e não pega elementos de outros jogos da série. A invenção de um nome para o príncipe (algo inexistente nos games) tem, segundo Mechner, fins práticos. Eles escolheram Dastan porque é a palavra em persa para malandro, expert em truques.

Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton, Alfred Molina e Ben Kingsley estão confirmados no elenco. Mike Newell (Harry Potter e o Cálice de Fogo, O Amor nos Tempos do Cólera) dirige. A estréia acontece em 10 de julho de 2009.

E uma menção que pode deixar os fãs preocupados. A MGM oficializou o nome de David Self (13 Dias que Abalaram o Mundo, Estrada para Perdição) como roteirista de RoboCop e, entre os créditos do currículo de Self, incluiu: "Ele escreveu God of War para a Universal, que Brett Ratner está contratado para dirigir".

O fato de Self escrever o filme do Fantasma de Esparta já era conhecido desde março de 2007, pelo menos. A novidade é o nome de Ratner, dos filmes A Hora do Rush e de X-Men 3. E aí quem não aprecia o trabalho do diretor, que está longe de ser uma unanimidade, tem razão para temer.

Claro, a MGM pode estar totalmente por fora do status atual do projeto, que é da Universal. Nada está confirmado por enquanto, e o filme de GoW já mofa nas gavetas do estúdios há meses.

Wagyan Land 2 - NES (1990) Thankfully, when it comes to video games, sequels improve. Wagyan Land had some decent ideas, but it was just too unbalanced in difficulty and too repetitive to be any real fun. From the start, the sequel feels like a setup for more of the same. It gets kinda worrying, until you start to play and you realize that... hey, there's actually some dialogue! It seems the story this time is to save the Smile Tree. That plot tastes a bit better than Devilnapping. But then you get into it and... really what's changed? Your stomach sinks. From the screenshots on the right, you can tell that WL2 looks exactly the same. They didn't even try to improve the presentation. There are new backgrounds, not that you can tell. There are some new enemies, but you don't notice since they all have the same attack patterns. And the quality of the music is still pretty forgettable. So you slog through the game. But then you notice something odd. Something you never thought would happen! You're having fun. They did it. They actually did it! But wait, it's exactly the same... or is it? Thankfully, they made a lot of little changes that add up to a very different experience. For starters, there are now in-level powers! You can become transparent, you can gain the sonic wave as a charge weapon, and you can float using your tail. They also added some new permanent upgrades. The head-spinning helicopter is something you must see to believe. And even though they took out the multiple paths on the world map, it's still better. I mean, my eyes didn't glaze over from yet another 'forest' level. They actually tried to make each island visually different, which I appreciate. They also spice some levels with new mechanics, making for a happy player. The one big "oh thank God" I uttered during this game was when I fought a boss. Wow! The Word chain game has more options for synonyms and it's not insanely demanding! Hey, the AI doesn't totally own you at Memory. They even made the Memory game patternistic, making it a lot easier to achieve the 7-up bonus. And they added a new Numbers game which is actually pretty fun. Basically, there are 40 numbers randomly scrambled on the board and you have to sort them from 1 to 40. Later on, they make the Numbers game even harder by making it count backwards or count through odds first and then evens. Now we're talking! I appreciate their attempt to make the boss fights not suck. They win a cookie. For adding a 2-player mode, they get sprinkles. So I guess what I'm saying is this: if you dare try any game in the series, this is it. This is the clear winner. Of course, when you think about it that's actually kinda bad news. I still have five more games to get through. And it's all downhill from here.	So insufferably happy... The map's pretty big. Not Dr. Devil. Sonic boom! The new game.
Wagyan Land / Wakiyarando - Game Gear (1991) Or is it? I was honestly surprised to see Wagyan Land for the Game Gear. I nearly missed covering it, since I assumed (like you) that it was just a port. Well it's not. It's actually a um...remake I guess. It's the same world map and the same level layout and the same story as the first game. But the levels themselves are brand-new and there are a lot of new enemies. They also do something smart by incorporating the new power-ups from WL 2 and taking it further with even more ideas like springs. And items now change your colour and offer you additional hitpoints. It's really quite nice. It would even be better than the second one. Except, you know, it's on the Game Gear. Man that screen is small! Well it's clear that Namco actually tried to make a game that lived up to Wagyan Land 2. It's not quite as good, but it's a solid entry and worth your time if you like Wagyan (you know, both of you.) Good for you Namco! So what I have to say next might seem hurtful.	Springy! So small... So very small... Bonus Level!
Wagyan Land 3 - NES (1992) WHAT? What? No wait. WHAT! Namco...you...OH... damnit what the hell? It's like you finally learned how to roll over, and I should give you a treat. And then you piss all over the floor right in front of me. Seriously, what happened? Yeah, the backgrounds are bright with highlights and shadows. Everything is more detailed, including distinctive enemies for once. They also added some gameplay ideas like low-grav and walking on the ceiling. And they brought the multiple pathing back. This should be a good game right!? But NO, don't let it fool you! First off, the plot of robo-zoo rejects from space stealing dinos for Dr. Devil is pretty lame. And the levels are repetitive... again. The password system is long and complicated for a game that's only like an hour long. Seriously what's up with that? And then the difficulty curve can't make up it's mind what it wants. Sometimes the game is really easy. Other times it's Ninja Gaiden hard. And don't even get me started on the final boss. They took away the 2-player, but you know what? Your friend doesn't WANT to play this time. In fact, your friend is silently thanking the heavens he's safe as he reads this. Goddamn it. WL 3 plain sucks. Let me break down the board meeting for you: "Hey guys! Remember those clever power-ups we came up with?" "Oh yeah, those were a good id--" "Take them out. I hate them. I never want to see them again!" "I dunno Bob, they were pretty popular with--" "And I want to make those boss battles stupidly impossible again. Get on that." "Wait, Bob, why are we doing this? Remember how good the last one--" "WE'RE DONE HERE! CUT! PRINT! GET ME A DAMN PIZZA!" I'm disappointed. How am I expected to go back to this stupid mediocrity after the second game? What else can I say about this mess? This game is the Megaman 6 of the franchise. After this game, Namco finally went pro and made the switch to Super Nintendo. Updated graphics! Updated music! Updated ideas! Just what would the future bring for Wagyan Land? Other than the end of my sanity? Nothing worth noting. Please stop me.	WTF? Metal Storm. You can fly! Switching Gravity

Big thanks to my customers for turning me onto Triforce Gamez! I've just placed a huge order for old nintendo stuff. The games I'm buying from them won't be for resale (my personal collection), but I'll have them at the store. Feel free to drop in next week and check it out.

(For quick background, I work for a game studio in the Bay Area, California that makes big budget, big name games. For privacy's sake, I will refer to the game we are currently working on as "The Adventures of Tits McHotpants.")

Surprisingly, only 8 matches came up. This is across over 3000 files, mind you. Here are the results, with the code stripped away (surpringly, not all the "fucks" were in comments):


// cancel fucking help

// load the fucker

SNDAPP_FailAbort("Sample struct mem fuckup.\n");

// guards against fucked up packets


The results for "shit" were much more numerous. That will have to be a separate post some day when I'm bored.

When I read comments like this I can't help but wonder what was going on in the programmer's mind at the time. Lord knows I've been frustrated by coding before, but I am way to paranoid about my naughty language making it into a shipped game and scaring some sensitive mother.

One group of people seems to be rooted in single-player RPGs. And that's understandable. To date, that's what Bioware has done, and that's what these people are addicted to. I've started to think of them as "Bioware People". What's unfortunate, however, is that they don't seem to understand what makes a good MMORPG.

In other words, many of the people over there seem to think that an MMORPG is just a bigger version of an RPG. It's not. MMORPG's need to be designed completely differently to be any good and enjoyable. And I'm particularly disturbed that so many of them, of late, are just trying to be single player games in MMORPG colours.

Hello Age of Conan.

That said, there's another group of people over on those forums who have the slightly arrogant attitude of, "If I'm paying my $15 I should be able to do what I want - like be a Jedi..." Even when, in their next breath, they'll agree with you that Jedi are always relatively rare in the universe. I just can't understand such people at all.

Gah. I sometimes feel like I'm the only person left on earth who wants a Star Wars MMORPG that isn't designed as a single player game to be defeated within one or two months and is, instead, a virtual world, full of sandbox tools, where people can live in Star Wars for years and not obsess about levels, quests, etc. Anyone with me?

 I'm gonna try and keep this brief. Its gonna be a war. It's gonna be a toe to toe brawl in a contest of who can absorb more punishment. Cotto in the past has been wobbled bad and has maintained his posture to come back and destroy his opponent. Cotto has also fought more recognized veterans like Zab Judah and Shane Mosely and won. Margarito on the other hand has 5 losses. 4 early on during his career and 1 to one of the young up and coming champs in the devision Paul Williams. Who then lost to Carlos Quintana but then came back and knocked out Quintana to retain his title. Cotto destroy Quintana when they met and finaly ending in Quintana not coming out of the corner.  Margarito also destroyed another up and coming star at the time Kermit Cintron. Twice. The first fight was the closest you come to seeing a man breakdown during a fight or when the pressure was on. The second fight Cintron showed more heart but with the same resolve as the fight ended with a viscious body shot from Margarito. With this said both men have traveled a long path to finaly meet at the top of the mountain and to see who's rightful spot that belongs to. Forgive my Larry Merchant type babble but it just seemed fitting. Enjoy the fight tomorrow its on Hbo pay per view. 

On to Blackberry news. It seems that T-mobile is releasing a new sunset colored BlackBerry Curve.

On gaming news: EsReality has a nice interview with the games first pro-gamer. The name struck fear into me and many others when word was out that he joined the server you felt you where dominating. Yes my old school quake buddies. THRESH. He talks about what he has been upto and how feels the industry has changed when it comes to competing and when it comes to the business aspect and what he has been upto. 

 On the hip hop music note: Nas dropped his Untitled album. G-unit also dropped terminate on sight. Other notable artist who dropped in july are, David Banner "The greatest story ever told", Killer Mike "I pledge allegiance to the Grind 2", Elzhi "the preface". I have heard any of these but the NaS untitled album and get my review on it real quick its good but its no illmatic or it was written. Even though i felt it could of been better Its better then alot of the mainstream hip pop out there. A good album to compliment the NaS untitled album is his old partners AZ mixtape. Not sure of the name. 

So if your in the nyc area go check that out. Can get your tickets in the link im providing below.

Ok guys im off for the weekend. Have a good one.

Have begun a Spanish La liga campaign again. This time around as Barca. Have maintained a unbeaten record in the first 4 encounters with Henry as the top league scorer. Hoping this campaign doesn't start rolling down hill from here.

Updates will follow.

Rááááá Peguei vocês!!!!! Qual é galera, lógico que não tem Download de Demo do Guitar Hero IV porra nenhuma!!! Me desculpem pela filhadaputice brincadeira, mas eu não resisti. Bom, mas para vocês não perderem o humor e mandarem pra'quele lugar, que tal a preview de Sitar Hero?

A Nintendo já anunciou uma versão do jogo para o Wii, inclusive um novo acessório o SitarMote.

Não se preocupem, vou ficar rastreando todos os servidores mundiais de download, e assim que aparecer alguma coisa, eu posto aqui.

Eu já não acho muito boa idéia o conceito do jogo DC Universe vs Mortal Kombat, mas até aí, são poucos os que se empolgam para o lançamento do mesmo. Já havia falado também de como eu acho péssimo o tratamento dos personagens da DC no jogo. Particularmente, não gosto de ver alterações absurdas com personagens ícones, mas isso só porque eu sou chata e fã de HQ.

Eu compreendo que adaptações precisam ser feitas, e é claro que todos personagens, atores, objetos etc que inspiram jogos, aparecem muito mais elaborados nos games. Mas a DC chuta o pau da barraca... Sinceramente, viu.

Ei, fãs do Superman, o Coringa vai estar presente no jogo. Então potencialmente ele pode matar o super-herói de capa vermelha com um belo fatality. Aham...

Fora esse paradoxo dos HQs, também foram confirmados na Comic-Com, Jak, Kitana (personagens da série Mortal Kombat) e o Lanterna Verde.

Eu acho engraçado como eu consigo adorar o elenco do jogo, mas acho a idéia e o conceito tão fraquinhos.

The Olympics are so boring and irrelevant now that they are pretty much unwatchable. There are a few events that I will watch, like the basketball gold medal game (only if the Americans and/or Canadians are in it), and table tennis. The best part of the Olympics is after it's all over, and you get to sit back and see who got caught taking steroids, or drinking bull semen, or whatever they do to cheat.

Surprisingly, though, IGN gave the "Official Video Game" a 7.7. Weird. Check out the theme song for the games above. It's catchy, in an over-shadowing, oppressive government sort of way. See if you can spot Jackie Chan!
