Left 4 Dead is amazing. It’s one of the few high tension horror games that I’m willing to get over my irrational fear of the walking dead. It’s so amazing in fact that after an hour or two, I actually need to stop playing because my head’s about to explode from the stress. This is my gateway drug towards becoming a Valve fanboy. So after perusing Kotaku, they directed me towards the official Left 4 Dead Blog and I learned that proper lighting makes all the difference. Man I love reading about the intricate thought process that makes Valve’s game as close to perfection.

Yep, I love Valve. There I said it.

So I’ve collected a nice stash of gift cards from Christmas and earned a few buck selling off my old PSP to afford my second Xbox 360. Was my first x360 dying? No, actually I’m starting to believe Tenno’s theory that I’m in the narrow 25% with a fully functional X360. So after work Friday and made the quick trip to Wal-Mart and cashed in my funny plastic representation of real money and picked a Jasper Xbox 360. Read More →

For whatever reason, my roommate and I ended up at the WalMart Supercenter on Russell and Eastern, near the airport.  After dicking around in there and having the customer service counter refusing to cash his Hilton paychecks, we decided to hit up the Game Haven that is in the same shopping center.  Never heard of it?  Not terribly surprising, considering they are a small chain and the location we went to is the only one in town.  Hell, I think it is the only location in the state.  Anyway, we’ve been here once before, where I found a couple of CIB Genesis games for cheap so we figured it was worth checking out.  They seem to have less old stuff these days and were sadly lacking in the Genesis controller department.  But, I spied something in their glass case…it was a copy of Snatcher on Sega CD.

So I bought Resident Evil: Degeneration at Wal-Mart the other day based on Yunie’s review. I’m a fan of the RE games. I beat all the main RE games from Resident Evil: Zero to Resident Evil: Four and Code Veronica. I have to say… this movie did leave a bad taste in my mouth. I agree with some of the things Yunie said, for example, it’s better than the Milla Jovovich movies, but that’s not saying much.

After reading Jango’s story about the machines currently inhabiting the local Gameworks, I knew I had to get my ass down there at some point to be able to try out the Rambo arcade game.  I mean, seriously…who doesn’t like Rambo.  Well, actually, I can name one person, but I’ll let her slide.  My opportunity came early last week when I had a day off and was going to be hanging out with Domino-chan.  Our friend Ross works on the Strip and we offered to pick him up, which afforded us the chance to stop by Gameworks and give it a whirl.

Upon arriving there, the machine was in use, which was expected.  So, we hit up some other machines before coming back about 20 minutes later to find two dumb-ass kids failing away.  I’m not sure why people are so afraid of kids with guns, since if these dip-shits were any indication, shooting someone would be the last thing of the list of stuff they could do with a firearm.  Even after their mom showed up to let them know that it was time to leave, they continued playing, aware that we were waiting and time was running out on our cards.  Goddamn, I hate kids sometimes.  So, after they finally got the hint and took off to lose at life somewhere else, Ross and I swiped our time-cards and proceeded to show everyone how it was done.

Holy crap, what a weekend! I haven’t been this busy in quite a long time. Of course it doesn’t help that Christmas was on a Thursday and I took Friday off so my weekend felt long because it freakin’ was.

You know, I still can’t believe that I loved this show when I was 5. Put on your rose colored glasses because that’s probably the only way you can watch this Christmas episode of the 80’s classic Pac-Man cartoon.

Well Happy Christmas and enjoy freaking weird Pac-man & Human interactions. Looks like this is where Sega got the idea for Sonic the Hedgehog for the X360/PS3.

Very few RPG’s can grab hold of my flighty attention like Suikoden does. For the time this PlayStation RPG broke the mold by not being the usual cliché coming of age story of an unknown villager but quickly shifts to a very thrilling interesting political drama where you the hero must stand up against King and country to right the wrong of an evil Empire. The hero eventually was merged with the cursed death rune, which permanently bonded onto his hand and is forced into hiding after being declared as a traitor. While in hiding, the hero and his servants soon learns of the corruption of the Empire and eventually decided to rebel against it which unfortunately meant going against your own father who still has loyalties to the Empire. Knowing that the hero was unable to fight the Empire, he focuses on building an army and in 2 year time recruits the 108 warriors who are known as the 108 Stars of Destiny, loosely base on the classical Chinese novels Shuǐhǔ Zhuàn, and build an army to overthrow the corrupt regime.
