Team fortress 2: Of War and Free Weekend




Yea folks.. The update is almost here for the big update for the Demo-Soldier war and that exclusive 4th weapon for the winning class. (Go Team Demo btw) But for those who never play it, where have you been. You can Pre-Download it right now on Steam for a free weekend (ends Tuesday). Don't worry about "If my PC will run it" cause it can run on a freaken toaster. But why stop there, you can Buy it HERE. (Just buy the Orange Box, 5 games for the price of 2)  And For the Noobs coming, Word Of Warning hahahahahaaaaaaa.

Ok ok.. Back to the war.. It ends on the 17th so by then, we'll know all the new weapon unlocks and that SECRET WEAPON for one of the 2 classes. But don't put it pass Valve that both end up getting one or an Engineer update pops out of the blue (their been hints on the newspapers covering it) like the Sniper Vs Spy update. Well... What you waiting on, Go Play it.

The One Feature I would Welcome but...

Ya know about the Xbox Update soon to arrive in November? Well I been excited for one of the new feature; Facebook on 360 is meh and lol at Twitter (unless you a game company or see Money $avings deals on games you want) then it's ok. The one I'm talking about is Last.FM. Stephen Totilo from Kotaku posted vids of all 3 features but let's talk about Last.FM quickly.

So here's what it have and not have. (NOTE: You have to already have an account or make one on Last.fm. to work on Xbox)
  • Your Pick from Thousands of Music,Artists,Albums, and game related. (Like Legend of Zelda or Nobuo Uematsu.
  • Play Many Music Genders from Hip Hop, Rock, and METAL! (sorry had to cap that)
  • On Play, You see many cool or/and funny portrait (not all the time) of the artist or group while the music is playing.
  • Able to run Last.FM in the background while still on Last.FM (maybe you don't like those pictures or want to see more music options)
  • NOT able to run Last.FM in the background of Xbox Live (Noooooooooooooooooo)
Wait... I'm Not gonna be able to run it w/ other games. Major Bummer man. Would Like to kill fools and suckers in Fallout 3 while listening to Killswitch Engage but. Ahh man..

Yea so maybe I won't be using Last.FM all that much on Xbox but I got something that I been using to hold me over called TVersity (I can Stream actual radio stations on it) or a Computer. Anyways, If you'll like to see the vids and preview Stephen Totilo did, look below.

and

I might get into telling you all about TVersity but it's not guarantee. Tell Then Pimps!

Star Wars: TOR is on my Radar

I don't really try to keep up w/ MMO's these days due to things like over-hype and stuff but after seeing the 20+ min of it, you got my interest Bioware..... Again..

Shadow Complex? More Like Epic Complex

From the makers from Gears of War and Unreal Tournament series, Epic Games (or just Epic) bring you Shadow Complex. This 15$ or 1200 MS FUN POINTS is one you should check out.


If you played Metoid, Contra, Ninja Gaiden (NES ones) or other games like that, then this is how it's played but enhanced to this Era of gaming in all aspects. Not to get into the story much but here goes. You Start out w/ a black dude and you destroy a helicopter off the bat (Awesome). After you do that, you though you saved the Vice President only to see his building go boom and then the character dies.

After that, Jason (Up) and your wife takes you to the caves where she played as a child but then some odd people take her away into their base and start torturing her thinking she's a spy thus you begin to save her and then there's alot more that get's exposed as you save her.

The controls are PERFECT, you can shoot anywhere even if enemy are in the background you can headshot him. The Story is good, it's also base partly on a book. Gameplay is awesome, so satisfying to punch and enemy out of the picture or literally run them over w/ the Friction Dampener (boots that make you run on air kind of). It also have that multi play through like beat the game w/ only 14% items or beat the game in 2 hrs on Insane Difficulty w/ 100% items and making sure you stay ahead of your friends in making the enemy scream and stuff (yea, I'm talking to you!). Their is some bugs like this AT-AT* like boss will just look the other way while you bomb the shit out of it (Right).

This is a true DL game. I wish it would eventually make it's way to PS3 or even Steam and it might so keep your fingers cross.


Btw, Love it? Hate It? Meh? I welcome your comments. 1st Ever Review And Let's Rate it...

Monthly Desktop - June and July

Yea.... I know it's early but want to do this anyway.. Desktop has under go some changes on the side of the pic below...

June - Sonic The Hedgehog!!! from Orioto
July - Code Warrior from Moving Insect

On the side you see my Live Feeds from Kotaku and Lifehacker sites.. On top is the time and calender and the bottom shows the weather (also live feed) and the computer stuff like GPU and RAM % and HDD and POWER remaining (tho the power is not needed but it came w/ it attached)..

I left room for my Fav 6 of sort to be included.. Everything other icon on there is hidden till I double click the screen. July version I temporary went away from game wallpapers and other then a few icon and Xion player skin changes, theirs nothing new.


I might settle on 1 look for a while so this might be the 2nd to last Monthly Desktop for a while. Till then..

My Aion Preview Special!

I'm gonna break it down in to sections. The pics will not be of High Quality cause my PC is ancient now.. (but it was so new 3-4 years ago playing WoW) <(Article Subject to be updated)>

I was lvl 18 (9 off the beta lvl cap) by sunday. Wish I can post my playtime but I don't know if they had any like other games.

Character
The making of your character for an MMO is the best I experienced to this date. There's the basics like skin/hair color and tattoos but then their's the advance where you can just make your character weird w/ giant head to just plan evil/awesome looking, add a height adjustment to make you a giant or a dwarf like......or maybe an Ant.-

The Look and Fell
Ah, the look and fell. It looks like a totally unique world and the fell is like WoW (yup, nothing wrong w/ that) and FFXI. The environment is just grand from what I witness thus far. It just make you want to enjoy the scenery and game more.

Gameplay

This almost needs it's own sub section, maybe. The Gameplay for me is great, could be better but it's all good. (DO Keep in Mind that I only played as a Templar - A Tanking Class) The Fight Mechanics are good, it's like wow when you start but you are playing a character that ultimately gonna branch into 2 classes that you will have to decide on. None of the "are you a healer spec", "are you a tank" stuff.

When you level, your abilities that you have level as well but like every 3 or 4 lvls you can buy new abilities or you can buy them in advance which is cool. I wasn't able to do realm PvPvE (ya, their 3 factions) cause I wasn't high enough so can't tell you anything on it.

Flight in Aion a 1st felt like I was handcuff to a pole but then again, I was still in the noob like area. However, Flight is cool when you get use to it and you never too safe when you can get killed from above or your flight time is about to expire while 100 ft in the air. Gliding is more common to be use at the start (assuming due to lvl cap) since it can be use where you can't actually fly and it can get you to your destination faster but think of it like this, Knuckles can only glide down. Don't expect to stick to walls tho lol.

Their a chain ability system in the game so it makes it easy to string combos of devastating moves after another. It's easy to see if you can activate it cause after you use the opening move, you get flashing icons on the right side of your character and u can just click or hit the hot-key. Their auto set but nothing is stoping you from making a marco.

Experienced is well, there's plenty of exp. You can get it from jsut about everything. Quest,mob kill even if it's not yours, you can I believe STEAL some of that person XP from that mob or ninja the mob loot by doing the most damage, Gathering, making stuff from your craft, and player kill. And to think the 1.5 patch that's coming w/ the game starts gonna increased it by up to 30%.

Sorry, not much on crafting since I only play w/ it on the final hour of beta but it seems you can become all the crafting maker and all but I think it's like that for beta only.

Music
The Music man.... The Music is mostly great. It got that nice fell to it when you not in battle that suites the area/land/zone but then it goes FFXI on us when you go into battle. From Rocking to Foreigner like Drum sounds, it gonna make you fell like it's a big fight. Oh how I miss a feature like this. You gonna enjoy it.

Some things they could/should add
Let's be clear. Their will not be no Add-Ons so none of that "OMG Look at my ePeen DPS on this meter" shit and stuff so w/ that said, let's began the small list.

  1. An Auto Loot/ Loot All feature - Why this feature is not in this game suprises me. I like to just pick up and go with in 2 secs of killing the mob.
  2. Better Scrolling Combat Text - C'mon..... You know you want the legendary addon to be implemented to all MMO games now. Don't Deny it..
  3. Fix The Shitty AH - My god how shitty it is. It's the #1 Worst thing I found in the game. Just LOOK AT IT and compare it to THIS and see can you tell what's wrong w/ it!
Nothing Else I can really think of so...... yea..........

Some Surprises I didn't Expected
Channels... They Got Channels so let me explained. These channels act like a mini world so like say if you trying to complete this quest but there's like 20 other ppl doing the same thing, you can just switch channels to where they may be only 1-5 ppl. There's 10 channels total so that's plenty but here's how you change. If a group member is on a different channel, just right click on their icon and select join or follow (I forgot what) him/her. The other way is from your menu next from your toolbar area. Menu -> Support -> Change Channels. However, this is apparently in effect till lvl 20 so said some ppl on the forumz and it don't work in city (why should it) so take advantage of it when it's there.

This caught me by surprise. A marco system like FFXI is also in the game, just different. I always like the uniqueness of it but I can't tell you everything about it unfortunately nor I have play around w/ it but I can say this. You can set a Pre action to happened at the time you want it so if for say you want to use Shining Blade then wait 3 secs to use Shield Bash then 6 secs later it does Soul Stab and then say in Normal chat "Chain X Completed, Chain Y Incomming". All you would need to do is set up that marco and press 1 button and it will do just that. now all it needs is a tune that tells your group/alliance to warn ya.. Or Maybe it does?!?!?! o_O



--------------------- (@^_^)@ Kirby Punch----------------------

I am undecided if I will play in the final 2 betas cause I don't want to be burned out lvling all over again every 2 weeks. If Pre-mades are handed out so everyone can experienced the Abyss then I'm game. Who knows.. I'm Epicenter in-game if you see me.

So that's basically it. Will I play this on launch? Maybe but it depends so hear me out. I like to play this w/ friends, if they not playing, most likely I won't either. I always played w/ someone ever since my 1st MMO "Phantasy Star Online ep 1 and 2 for Gamecube" then to FFVI, WoW, and WAR tho I kinda went ultra overboard max lvling w/ in 7 days of it being out and not parting it up w/ then till later (sorry ><). I want to enjoy it more w/ them, I may be higher lvl but not enough to just obliterate them and it's bad for the health.

Another reason is my PC is ancient like I said earlier. (See My DxDiag HERE) I lag badly when I have to go into populated areas and especially in the city. I'll be reliving what was a problem for me in WAR, a front line melee class becoming worthless when the masses comes.

So yea, I dig the game but I don't know if I should go forward or stop is the true question. I do recommended you giving the beta a look see, just pre-order it for 5$ and get a beta key and u r good 2 go. Please do tell me what you think and such. Always have an ear (and eyes apparently lol) for ppl opinions and stuff and fell free to look at All my Aion Pictures on Flickr rightttttt HERE. =P

No More Heroes might leaves for greener pasture


Sudo 51 recently announced they'll probably not developed NMH after the 2nd game for the Wii as Goichi Suda explained.
"I think ['No More Heroes 2'] is the last ‘NMH' that is going to be developed on the Wii. To expand ‘NMH' to new possibilities, we need a new platform. Wii is a great platform, but we've done everything we can with it now."
Somewhat sad to see if it actually go away from Wii but also understand why since you gotta do what's best. Maximize your game to it's full potential, get it more known and make that money money, yea yea.

A personal note and Blog Change is here.

First off, I want to say this..

Last Year around late June and parts of July my mom was very ill, I couldn't enjoy the party the neighbors were having and later that month everything was all good. So this 4th of July, their was no party (they had moved to Japan via Military) but it didn't matter since my mom could go out and enjoy the fireworks and stuff and I'm glad.

Now about the bloggy... JAB JCS (Just a Blog... Just Cool Stuff...) is no more later this month Dark Shield is in and the blog look rather nice don't it.

Why name it Dark Shield? It's because of my love for Warriors and Protectors/Guardians. I hope to do a shield/sword collection in the future.

So anyways... I do hope you enjoy the new look as I didn't enjoy finding broken codes but enjoy making the logo for it.

After looking at more coding to clean up, I just might take a nap........

Or maybe not.....

PS: Here's a bonus that almost was.

Jul 2, 2009

So you wanna copy Team Fortress 2 eh..

This wanna be is named H.A.V.E. Online, from publisher SK iMedia.

It is going to enter beta within this year in Korea. I really don't know what to say on this. It's ok to take some ideals and bend them the way you want but to basically make a "toy" version of TF2 is mess up. Look at the Vid and the Comparison Pics below, and their more HERE.

Mass Effect 2: There be no New Game +... Might get Insanity mode instead

It was announced over the weekend that their will be No New Game + so to explain why, here's Preston Watamaniuk, the lead designer for Mass Effect has to say.


The short answer is no.

The reason is progression. We have been working very hard to make sure we design the abilities system to offer smooth progression into ME3 from ME2. Allowing double progression on characters makes that almost impossible. We have to have reasonable knowledge about where a character could end up finishing all content on a playthrough. We also want to offer choice of character build within specific classes.

We replaced that feature with playing after you were done because it preserves progression and allows for smoother downloading of PRC.

Tho this sucks, but it's understandable and it just might make you be a little caution, finding and killing all foes, hidden stuff, and other stuff like that comes into play. This also means that your "character" will be transfer to ME3.

Now about ME's Insanity mode. Their was grief that this was an unlock but their was a reason as Christina Norman, lead system designer explained.

Insanity difficulty was made unlockable, because it was so difficult a player needed the experience of already playing through the game in order to complete it.

Ultimately if I have to choose between those options, I will choose a harder insanity difficulty, because I believe that's what's important to our players. Overall insanity in ME2 will be harder than ME1. That's a heads up for everyone! Beating insanity on ME2 is going to be a real "achievement", a badge of honor, get ready.
So basically it'll be toned down to be playable in ME2 since their's no New Game + If they put it in... I don't mind this too much but the hardcore of the hardcore does.

So other then the none announcement that said to be delivered last friday, that's pretty much it.

Jun 26, 2009

Ahahaha... Damn dude..

So what if your mom canceled your WoW account... It's not like it's whole life or anything.... Right?? Wait.... What are you doing, an Impersonation of a flapping fish? O_O -- Watch the vid lol --

What I'm gaming lately

I bough Shaun White Snowboarding on that Amazon Father's Day sale for 20$ and fairly enjoy it for days. I might write a small review of it. I also as of monday have given the X-box a week break while I revisit some past games like Kingdom Hearts series.

I just finished the 1st one today on Expert Mode w/ 100% complete and max lvl.. Yes, I dominated Sephiroth in 5-6 attempts w/o any need from How To Guides (also my 1st time defeating him)... It's more rewarding that way. I'm now starting on KH2 on Proud Mode... This should be interesting.

Also thinking of playing FF X and finishing up Okami (yep, I never finished this great game).. Also never finished FF XII but..................

Other then throwing in some Halo, TF2, and that fighting game, that pretty much it.

Jun 19, 2009

Bioware... Keep a lid on it will ya.

Mass Effect is one the best game of the decade w/ it story, gameplay, and your action and decision that effect your character and story just to name a few. So w/ #2 coming there's apparently letting out a bit more then we want to know. It's great that you show Gameplay of it at E3 and see notice changes like "wait, is he reloading?!?!" and "OMG!! did he just tell so-and-so to use their ability w/o pausing the game". This small things are good but things like story and character info among others that can spoiled surprises for you when you finally get the game.

So Bioware, I like you and all but put a lid on it and bring the info out slowly please. =)

Translator Guy just don't give a fuck

If you seen Sony's press conference last week (See it here), you'll know that when Kazunori Yamauchi came to the stage to talk about Gran Turismo PSP, he had a translator w/ him. You'll normally see a translator just translate straight up but not this guy, he had a notepad to write down and translate.

Well, The internet gone a fire w/it and making alternate version of just doing stuff like this.







Love the Death Note one (great series).. There's alot more then this and other gif/jpg from E3 09 HERE..

The Future of Gaming: Control

Yes.. We heard these words thousands of time over the course of the history of Video Games but now, it can truly be said. Graphics are 1 thing that is always improving but what about how you play it.. Not so much. The Wii w/ it's Motion Controller and Wii Balanced Board bough an new way to play games by moving our hands, arms, and body w/ the controller.

Now Sony had introduce it's prototype motion controller at E3 and it was amazing demonstration of it w/ 1 to 1 movement ratio..



Some might call it a Wii rip off w/o cords but you be the judge of it.

Microsoft also brought out a the motion controller codename: Project Natal. This Hands Free controller requires just your body. No Controller, No Board. You are the controller.



Also to help demonstrate it was Lionhead Studio, the ppl who made Fable 1 and 2 and Black & White among others.



Yea, some might called it a beef up version of Sony's Eye Toy but again, you be the judge.

I imagine playing games like if you want to do a shrouken, I'll jump w/ my fist above my head or if i want to cast multiple of death balls from my hands, I'll move my hands forward and back lots of time. I also imagine playing a game that voice base, If I want you my squad member to rig a bomb w/o pausing the game and such, I'll point to the location I want it and say rig the bomb (character name here). Controling the way we interact is changing, this should be alot of fun for millions of ppl.

One more thing.. 2 Player Start did a comic on "The Endless Posiabilaty of Project Natal".. It's pretty funny. Check it out.

Winter will be in Perfect Darkness


One of the most popular game in both Shooter and Multiplayer FPS the way it is today is FINALLY coming to Xbox Live this winter. Hold up your Laptop Gun high folks cause it's also said to be running in 1080p.

I'll let my Mounted Laptop gun on a wall kill you this winter lol.

Ittttttt's E3 folks!! -- Day 2 --

Now that the BIG presentations have come to an end or at lease the one that was covered on G4TV, here's what I think.

Nintendo
1st of, let me start by saying what everyone was thinking when THISpop up on the screen... What The Fuck...

Anyways... You had little 2 much talky talky and tho you didn't do pie/bar charts, you still have to tell us about your sales crap. We don't care for that but you DID alot better then last year's E3 tank fest. Good to start out w/ New Super Mario Wii and make ppl think that's all the Mario their get on Wii that day. Beside the already known Wii Motion you had to demonstrate again, Teaming up w/ Team Ninja to make a new Metrodi Game is sexy
then drop the Super Mario Galaxy 2 (also knowned as "Ur Mr Gay" look it up if you don't get it) and I was like Wooo and Seeing Yoshi is back is also kool.



Other stuff like Golden Sun DS (love it), Wii Fit + (meh), and a New Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story DS game (Ok) are also mentioned... And as a side note, Shigeru Miyamoto wants to announced a NEW Zelda game at next year's E3. We hope so...

Sony
Oh Sonnnnnnnyyyyyy. Why you gone and put up a good showing. You start out Strong w/ Uncharted 2 and MAG 256 player Gameplay live. But before all that, ya say " we have the worst kept secret at E3" referring to the PSP Go. Good times to make fun of yourself =). After the Mag thing, You almost went into Ubisoft territory and talk and talk and talk but then you wipe out new stuff like GT5 for PSP Portable and PS3, MGS: Peace Keeper for PSP (lol at Video ending... 2 Snakes in a Box), a long video showing all the games coming to PS3. But one of the surprise was your LBP like game, Nod Nation Racer, Assassin's Creed 2 demo (why wasn't this done on Ubisoft presentation), Demo of your New Motion Control w/ Eye Toy. Put it in short, everyone wants a piece of the motion capture stuff but very nice demo to show it off. Then you end the show w/ exclusive games like Agent from Rockstar, FFXVI ONLINE cinematic vid, and an awesome God of War 3 Gameplay footage.



On a different note...
Steve Wiebe, you know, the guy from "The King of Kong: A Fist Full of Quarters" Documentary (if you didn't see it, you need to) about the Donkey Kong world record. He try to break the record live on G4's E3 stage all day. He end up just 60k shy of the record before getting the kill screen but despite all what happened leading up to it, he was then givened the Gaming Hall of Fame certificate and will be indicted w/ in a week. You gave it your all man and you'll break the record again soon.

Ittttttt's E3 folks!! -- Day 1 --

E3 is here peeps and this will be short and sweat after watching all the conferences. (Microsoft, EA, and Ubisoft)

MICROSOFT
You cut out the bullshit about sale # and pie and graphic charts and just got to what we want to hear. Bravo, maybe Nintendo can learn from that example. Presentation was very good cause it finally Showing that Alan Wake is not dead and showing gameplay video,




Crackdown 2 is announced, and once again, snatching the "exclusive" franchise from Sony in Metal Gear Solid (insert sony fanboy tears here) and getting a new game to boot but expect to be multi-platform. Also the unveiling of the rumor motion sensing camera code named "Project Natal" but as most were surprise to see theirs more to it then you think w/ voice recognition and more.

And Minor things like Facebook and "Tweet" coming to Xbox Live.. And Last.Fm and believe to be in sync w/ Xbox Live Gold Monthley Fee so you don't have to fuken pay for both. "I hope so man"


What next.... Steal/Ninja/Buyout God of War?? LBP?? Uncharted??

EA
An OK presentation.. Nothing really Special except......... Awesome Ending w/ Star Wars: KOTOR trailer and said to have voice for EVERY dialog. An MMORPG 1st.




UBISOFT
Not very good presentation till last 10-15 mins... Let me help you out by saying... 1st, Don't talk for 30 fuken mins about a 4 year long project and DON'T EVEN SHOW IT ONCE when you said there's a demo of it at E3 and proceed to tell basically the whole story. Who would I want to buy it if I know all that huh??! 2nd, if you got a video presentation coming up, make sure YOU HAVE IT UP BY THE TIME you finished the set up for it, not no late set up and you take up time by talking for 10 mins to get it running... Even worst was it came AFTER the 30 min long crap. Ok, rant over so yea, last mins were cool w/ new Splinter cell and Premier trailer for Assassians Creed 2.


1st Double Hidden blades, now a hidden gun. It just got more serious son.

It's pretty clear that MS has stole the show again but what will Sony and Nintendo have up their sleeves.

Monthly Desktop - May

May is at end and so is my desktop theme. I went w/ a Donkey Kong Country and a black windows XP theme (you have to DL it from a site) for a clean look.The Xion player was cool cause it lights up and act to the music. Also I chanced my Steam UI into a jungle theme. Don't know if I mention it before but w/ simply 2 click on my screen, everything dispersers just leaving the wallpaper (and desktop bottom thing if you want it). Again Here's his Page if you want to see his work.



Also I put it as my Xbox 360 wallpaper for the month as well.. here's a crummy camera pic and about to throw it down on Mass Effect.

So that's it for this month..... Now time to change it again.......

Rockstar Presents new Xbox GTA Expansion: The Ballad of Gay Tony


Long title huh...

The Ballad of Gay Tony is said to focus on the glitzy "high-end night life" of Liberty City. The second Xbox 360 exclusive episode will put players in the role of Luis Lopez.

"players will struggle with the competing loyalties of family and friends, and with the uncertainty about who is real and who is fake in a world in which everyone has a price."
This will be interesting since the uproar of the gay and lez issue Microsoft is having. As always, we'll have to see more info on the expansion at later date. It's said to be out this Fall for 20$ (1600 ms points)

New Green Lantern Traier....... Or is it??!!





Oh.... This is some mega fan doing.. It not be real but pretty cool tho.

What.. You no likey new TF2 Update?

Ok... W/ the recent release of the S vs S Update, you notice 1st thing is the NEW way to get weapons in the form of not by hitting the achievement milestone for the class, but a random "drop" thing. This is to prevent Achievement farming servers for weaponz and getting an advantage on those who don't have em. Thing is that you MIGHT get the same weapon you already have (This is the weapon I got since the update: Ambassador *New*,Axecutioner, Force-A-Nature, Sandman, Axecutioner, Sandman, Natasha, The Huntsman *New*) and if you wondering whys that? Cause their gonna be an item trading system soon apparently. Also to note this, You can be on a different class and you can get a weapon for a spy. Like I was a Scout and 10 mins in I get the new Spy Gun.

The way you get weapon now is you Play the game. The longer you been playing, the better you chances of getting a weapon increases. It may get rid of the Achievement farm servers but it now open another door, the IDOL Servers (where ppl go AFK for itemz love).

Other noticeable chances is the Domination and Player Icons. I personally like most of the update and the new maps are cool, especially the new Payload Race map. Still, it felt like their something unwanted (like 2 many noobs being snipers!) but still, It's all good in the hood g.

Star Trek, Tickets, Mooooovies

Saw the Star Trek film Saturday and it was quite good. Starts you out right into the action to set up the story plot followed by a good mix of story and action. I won't go further then saying it's worth seeing it.

I also try to keep every single tickets I get regarding Movies, Sports, and other events.

Most of mah Movie Tickets. ( I notice the price increase =( )

There's more to come... Might see Terminator but might not due to it getting a fuken PG13 Rating (Are you happy now kids??!?!).. Then their's G.I. Joe, Transformers, and Bruno (might wait for DVD release).

Should be a Good Summer...................... Hopefully!

Getting Back to Work


I been putting off Char. animation work for a while since I couldn't find a 3ds Max 8 Character Mesh/Rig (all I found was the Max 9 ver.) Well no more.. New month, time to return to work son.

I'm still tinker in Photoshop from time to time per day or week to keep my skills sharp there.

I am still looking for 3ds Max 8 Character Meshes (I want to add the bones to it myself for experience) fell free to post a link or mail it to me. And you'll get credit for it..

What to forge?!

I been fighting myself for a while to make a race like map on sandbox while I was making a Goldeneye Remake. Then I see I made an error and gave myself no room (I'm making it underground fyi) and I wish it had an select all and move feature (you listening Bungie??!!) but it don't so I have to redo it all over. So my race track ideals kick in and abandoned that project for now to focus on the raceway.

I got some crazy great ideals for it and i hope I an implement all of then onto it and make it enjoyable. Stay tune I guess. =P

I also was going to do a Remake of Complex from Goldeneye but I see that the map can't ever be dead on especially w/ the Hidden Walls/Rooms which make it unique. Can't do Facility (again) either cause someone did an very good one in Sandbox and is now in my Files Share (Named: Sand Facility) for DL. Although Stack and Basement are alternatives.

PS: IF you want to help or pop in to see it, fell free but if ya not on me friends list, ask me 1st.

Team Fortress 2: It's An Addicted

I been playing a ton of TF2 lately and I finally manage to pull myself off it after almost a week.

The game is just so much fun for me but apparently It's like I trade 1 skill for another. I starting to get decent at it but 2+ years of getting good (not hardcore good) at Halo 3 started to fade so I try to mix em up.

Anyways, still by far the best 10$ I ever spent.

2 Player Start: Good Stuff

If you haven't seen this Wednesdays 2 Player Start comic or any of them, I recommend that you check them out. This week comic is one of the best they done. Using the texture swap hack on Lucas for SSBB and using the Smash world in their comic. Again, I urge you to check these guys out.

There's a Link to it on the right side (Blog and Sites I Like).

Monthly Desktop - March and April

I change my desktop and Xion Music Player looks every month of that of the selected background for the month. I also do something similar to the 360 background as well.

I like a clean desktop look, not that cluster of files and stuff all over your screen. The background comes from a talented artist who make classic games look unique and down right wish you were playing it the way it looks. Here's his Page..

Anyways, here's the look of it from March (Mario) and April (Yoshi). ( Janurary was Mega Man and February was LOZ: LTTP )

Orange Box for 10$ on Steam

Apparently now Steam is on the 10$ weekend deal. The Orange Box is 66% off (or 10$) through this weekend. This is a HUGE steal for anyone that don't have it or was looking for a deal and it works w/ awesome stuff.

From Gyshall.com
  • Portal is easily worth twenty bucks on it’s own and still offers pretty decent replay value
  • Team Fortress 2 is updated more frequently than the Xbox counterpart, and still gets content and map updates to this day
  • Half-Life 2 is one of the best and most solid shooters released on PC to date
  • Owning Orange Box will allow you to play any number of mods for Source games (Fistful of Frags, Pirates Knights and Vikings II, Goldeneye: Source)
...................
You need a Steam account but it's FREE to sign up and all that. Visit their Site HERE! and sign up and add me. I'll be happy to frag you. =)

Sandbox Map: Timeless

My Map is DONE! Timeless is the name and I'm sticking to it. Here's some pics of it!!

Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket

Meters falling from the sky threading to destroy this once sacred place but the ancients cast a spell around the structure to stop time in it's place.

This map almost came to be canned cause of the money and item limit but I barely got by it w/ 20$ remaining and reach the item limit.

This is kinda like Blackout/Guardian w/ a Huge stadium like Center (perfect for KOTH). I took extreme care to make it as perfect as I can make it tho their is some hiccup I couldn't avoided but you'll have to look hard for them. This map can handle 3-8 players and can play the following: Slayer, KOTH, Oddball and Juggernaut.

You can Download it HERE
Do leave comments if you like it, hate it, improvement, whatever. It's helpful.

PS: I resisted putting the Hammer in the middle lol.
