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 )

Funiest Prank on a Major Site Ever

Someone put a AWESOME Easter Egg on ESPN.com that puts Unicorns and Happy Rainbow Clouds on the site if you put this code in "Famously knowned as the Konami Code"... ( Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, and press Enter ) and enjoy.. For more just keep or hold down the ENTER button.

(EDIT) Apparently ESPN finally found out and is no-longer working lol

13 Month X-Box Live Card

Newegg is running a sale on 13-month Xbox Live cards, get one for a steal at $38.99 w/ no shipping charge. They're usually are $50.

Best time to get one until the next time this offer comes up later in the year.

Still think Microsoft need to lower X-Box Live to 20-30$ per year or you know..... FREE!

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!!



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.

Fallout 3... Bring your pew pew Lasers

You can find more info right HERE!

The Curious Case of Converting my Family to Firefox

For months, I been trying to get my parents and bro to use the Firefox web browser instead of AOL (parents) and Internet Explorer (bro). And now I have 1/2 of it done, they canceled that AOL piece of crap finally and now using FF thus saving them good money..... For me to ask for maybe =P.. Their having a time getting use to it thus they ask me what's going on w/ this and that. My Bro however is gonna be a harder fight cause he doesn't want to switch from the crapness that is IE. So the case continues for how long, I do not know but I'm not giving up till it happens.

If anyone you know is using IE. Get them off that and move to FireFox lol.

What I been doing lately

What I been doing all this week and likely the next is playing and working on Halo 3 Sandbox and Playing Star Ocean: The Last Hope.

My Halo 3 map I'm currently is 1 of my dream maps as it's looking atm. Taking alot of time and thought, through merging and interlocking items It's coming together. The map was gonna be simpler but the game play would be serious lacking the gameplay factor so after brainstorming and the power of imagination, it's coming together better then I ever though. The ideals and imaginative I put in it is like nothing I ever though of before. Hopefully I'll get it done by saturday before Halo night. I'll Give you a hint of the theme. Clock.

I gotten SO:TLH Tuesday through amazon 1 day low price sale of it and I got to say, I like the battle, especially when you get an 86 hit combo. But it's 2 early to get into what I think of it but I'll tell you this. I didn't like Edge's Voice for a while but now I guess it's ok and stayed on the 1st planet for ruffly 8-9 hrs I think (ok, maybe I was farming Xp and Skill Points to the point I max out their current skills). When the game 1st introduce Lymle, I though "here comes the cheerful spunky character" but clearly I was wrong and I wish this character never existed. She sounded so..... Annoying, like their was no life in her and almost every sentence ends w/ "kay". But She does have an awsome ability to summened her pet "fire dog" and that thing lays down the law (which kinda help me get that 86 hit combo).

But Yea, that's what I been doing basiclly. Hope ya have some good times.

Music Wars - Last.fm Vs Imeem Vs Pandora

 (UPDATE -- Imeem Merge in to the fuckfest that is called MySpace... This be a sad day but I'll leave it up if you want to read it.. January, 29,2010)

This is my opinion so yea... Getting that out their now.

The 3 Sites I'm gonna judge have many stuff in common like "create playlists" and differences like "ability to upload new music on the site". I signed up and try out all 3 of these sites. Here's what I think.

Last.fm
I have to say off the bat I'm digging the site looks over the others.

Anyways, The Good. It haves a deep list of artists and records and remixes. Theirs also the great layout of your page from what you listen to xx amount of time to seeing every music or group you played in a library of what exact song you heard. You can download your play list to play on your desktop music player of your choice.

The Ok... Groups and nice people.

The Bad... Depending on your taste, certain songs will only have 30 secs samples. That in terms hurts your library of music. Wish it has a pause button (you know, that song you in the middle of singing and an important call comes up).

Imeem
Alright. I has this site the longest out of the others by maybe 2.5 years.

The Good... A deep list of artist and records and tons of remixes for your pleasure.
The ability to upload music/music video to the site for all to see (if u wish).

The Ok... Decent profile page; kinda of a cross between My Space and Facebook w/ customizable background and stuff.

The Bad... Can also suffer from songs having only a 30 secs sample (even when it was previously a full song) but the owner or site can update the song to play fully. That can take days, weeks, or months. Only 1 mobile phone app for this site while others have at lease 3.

Pandora
A Nice site is a good thing but it's alot different from the others. This is basically a custom radio station site.

The Good... Multi mobile phone support. Sign in and immediately listen to the song, artist, or last station you was playing before you log. You can see what other music the artist made for that album and see the song lyrics and more.

The Ok... Nice and simple profile page.

The Bad... Can only skip 5 songs an Hour?!?! What da hell man =(.


So the best site of the 3 for me atlease is Imeem while Last.fm close behind. Reason I choose Imeem is that you can find just about ANY music from the rare to the odd, something the other 2 sites don't have; and if u absolutely can't find it, then find it and upload it on the site. =)

Don't get me wrong tho. I'll use all 3 but just don't expect me to be on Pandora alot, It'll be either Last.fm or Imeem. Fell free to send friend invite.

Oh... And Happy Easter!!

Becoming a Cheap Ass Gamer

I recently taken the plunge to buy games for cheap because I don't like to spend money alot. It started Wednesday when I finally saw the deal I was looking for. Star Ocean 4 for 37$ on Amazon (It was the Deal of the Day).

Then a day or 2 later, Their was another great deal in the name of Too Human for 12$ but I just miss my chance cause it sold out. I won't be cheap for all games "IE: Final Fantasy" among others

Also on the side where it said Blog and Sites I Like, There's a Link for Cheap Ass Gamer. I advise you to check it out if you want to save $ on games and accessory. It's a Good Thing.

Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack and maybe some suggection

I recently played the Newest Map Pack and I have to say, It's by far the Best Map Pack to date. Had some good times playing w/ the stuff on Sandbox w/ friends. Making a Giant Ramp and jumping over kill balls only to die half the time.

Sandbox in general is a forger's paradise tho I wish their was some other stuff added to the forge editor options such as...... ( Linking 2 or more items together "to move then around and such", An Undo/Redo Option, Copy Option, a Lock option for locking items in place incase u accidentally move it or/and for keep items like u have them like 15,30,45 degree angle on a forge item ) Anyways the default Sandbox stage is great, their Good cover and open space for vehicles but be weary cause each side have a rocket launcher and a missile pod but it's a fun map.

Orbital is a good stage. Love the scenery but wish you could see more of it cause it's just so cool. With that said. It plays a bit like Assembly w/ 1 team starting at the bottom and another at the top (don't know what it'll look like in FFA). They can see each other but they can't kill each other yet. Theirs room for the mongoose in the map that you can actually get a mongoose kill but you do leave yourself open to die alot easier. Theirs also good cover tho a well placed grenade can move the boxes a bit. It get especially interesting when you play SWAT on it. It's a Fun map overall.

Assembly.. A Decent Map, Easy to get lost in it tho. Basically it's a Large bowl like map w/ High Grounds and Low Grounds. In the High Grounds area, theirs less cover but you get a greater vantage point seeing your enemies run around. In the Low Grounds, their good cover however you can fall prey to grenade spam also. It's a good way to sneak in some hammer kills tho. So you want to be on high grounds more then the low grounds but low grounds have it's goods as well. It's a fun map overall.

It's Highly Recommended you Download this map even if you boycotted the others cause you don't want to pay for them. You only missing out on the best thing Bungie has offered in Halo.

PS: Do Not Kill Me on purpose ><

OMG... a Blog

What's Up. Though I'll make a blog about games or whatever.

Sooooooo.... Yeaaaa....
