Ye Biggest and Final Post....... of 2010

And it shale be longggggggggggggggg Catttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt..

 Let me start of by saying this has been a very hard year for me. The constant surgeries and vising U of W like it's my 2nd home but they been awesome to me so a shoutout to ya. Now you asking what surgeries? Let just say my mouth got mess up to the point that I will be toothless ( thx virus and myself ). It will be the final phase and that will cost almost 3 grand so........... yea.....anyways on to other stuff...

 December has been awesome for me in terms of games cause currently I got 15 games for 12$.. It includes The Witcher, Super Meat Boy, Braid, World of Goo (again) and the Deux Ex Collection. Shoutouts to Steam and Crazy Gabe. ( PS - The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom is freaken 50 cents on Steam right now.... While you act it, check out Ninja Senki, it's from the created by the designer of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game and it's FREE! )




 If you want even more free stuff (you should), I urge you to check out the Cheap Ass Gamer's Contest and Free Stuff forum for free Xbox/PS3/PC Stuff, Songs, Movie Rentals and lots more. While ya at it, go ahead and register because Cheapy D does giveaway awesome stuff from his own pockets and you want in on that don't ya; oh you can add me as a friend if you want. Now onto other things..


 I have plained a RPG Mania starting in January and here's that list... In no particular order.

• Mass Effect 2 ( Main character "Paragon", Insane Mode, Hopefully all major DLC )
• Lost Odyssey ( 2nd Play-through )
• Eternal Sonata ( 3rd Play-through, Try to get rare items.......again )
• The Witcher - ( 1st play-through , thx Steam and your godly holiday deals )
• Dragon Age: Origins - ( w/ my EVIL Mage Character )
• Blue Dragon ( maybe?? Would be 3rd Play-through )
• Torchlight ( 5th Character, Son of retire Alchemist Pet Master, get em to max lvl )
• Fallout 3 ( maybe?? Finished up the DLC game on main )

 And maybe MOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I shale update ye Blog when I finished one but, If I get me hands on a New (Custom Built) PC or/and SW: TOR, this list will get blowned up. I did think about returning to the drug that is WoW for a tad but, I'll have to go through alot of stuff just to get my account back all because I forgot a password since I changed it. That or/and the fact that hacker might have broken in. FML I guess.

I also am now on Raptr.com. I might do a small write up on it but for now, you can see my profile here.


 So as I chill w/ the family, I'll just be happy that we are all under one roof for this winter; and if I can get 1300$ as a bonus.. =)

That all I wanted to type sooooooooooo Happy Holidays to all and to all, punch your face in.

PS: I added the Like, So-so, Dislike Feature. I'll be under every post.
PSS: Gotta Love Anamanaguchi.. Check out their stuff ya.

Game Music Week -- Thursday

Since I miss Wednesday's post get ready for double Thursday so w/ that said..

Let's Get Super....Mario.... SMG has some awesome music and I have 2 of them for you.
Gusty Garden (Galaxy) had simple sounds but it just fell like you're on an adventure and well, you are.




Now you should (if you played it) know how EPIC the final boss music is. It's one of those "One of us isn't walking out alive" tunes; only sad part the fight was not epic for this music. Anyways, enjoy it lady and germs.

Game Music Week -- Tuesday

Going old school on ya. Sonic & Knuckles had some kickass music and the Flying Battery Zone (act 2) among them. When I 1st heard it back in the day, it was just bad ass not to mention I like the stage as well. Enjoy it as I have through out the years.

Game Music Week -- Monday

Final Fantasy is well-known for having great music and FF13 is no exception. Dust to Dust is one of those songs that just chilling yet it pores it soul onto you.

I remember when Fang and Vanille talk about their home throughout the game making me think that after their long absent, their will be fill w/ ancestors that remember them. Once you arrived it just breath-taking to see what their home has become.

Love/Hate/So-So? Drop a comment in.

Game Music Week -- Sunday

No More Heroes is an awesome game w/ sweet music but "We Are Finally Cowboys" was just pure awesome and set the tone for the "REAL" final battle against Henry .  (I won't spoiled it if you never play it but if ya want to know, just highlight it.)

Love it/Hate it? Drop a comment!

Heads Up for...... Tails?

Hello to ya.. Bet ya wandering why the blog/site been inactive for months. Long Story short, stuff in life happens, constant surgeries and me having to adapt after each , $ problems and morrrrrrrrreeeeeee.

Anyways........ Starting Sunday or Monday, I'll be posting 1 game music each day for a week. This won't be a personal favorite cause that will take forever and I won't be doing remixes. So there ya have it but I guess I can post this remix from MOTHER 3 - F-F-Fire. If you haven't play Mother 3, you owe yourself to play it GDI.

Pure Win

 

Just Awesome!

Review : Monday Night Combat

So this is what you get when you mix Team Fortress 2, DotA and add in a Reality Show setting.

    MNC is a welcome addition to Xbox Live Arcade and it's damn addicting to play. The general odjective is to stop the bots/opponets from let getting to your moneyball. You have 6 class to choose from and each brings an unique skills (4 per class) to the table which cost money to upgrade and be more badass. You can also make 4 different types of defense towers at selected location also at the cost of money.

Now to list then as what type of TF2 classes yaaa. (I'm doing this part just for fun.)

• Assault - The all around class or the "MVP". Did I mention he has Jetpack.
• Support : Engineer and Medic role into one awesome combo.
• Tank - Pyro on Steroids
• Assassin - Scout's Speed/Spy cloaking and killing ability but lowest health.
• Gunner - Heavy that can become a giant turret. Also he has Jetpack! (kind of)
• Sniper - He snips, lays freeze traps, haves a mean flank ability.

 There is a rank (kind of?) where you gain xp per game but other then you play this alot (and likely know your stuff), their's nothmg more to it. Custom class is just that, select 1 of the 6 class and give him (or her "Assassin") 3 sponsorships for your gameplay. Now onto the Awesome and Not So.


The Awesome!

• Classes - Like I mention before, the 6 classes are unique and fun to play as. Each have multiple ways to be played. It's always fun playing a support class and leading w/ kills or/and money gained.
• The 4 or 5 Maps - Tho their not alot of maps, the ones we have are fun to play on and can lead to heated battle in the lanes.
• Blitz mode - Solo or party w/ friends or random xbox live for money ball defense madness. Manage to get to round 86 using a custom Support class till the bots broke my defenses. Even crazier, a group manage to get to round 419.
• Crossfire - Easily the main and best feature. Up to 6 on 6 xbox live madness to lead their bots to destroy the other team's moneyball while protecting their own.

The Not Awesome!

• Better Matchmaking - Crossfire is great and all but it can be down right frustrating when you get random put into a team of newbies (lvl 0-20) while the other team get all the high rank or balance team and just steam roll within 3 mins or ppl leaving.
• More Gametype(s) - I believe this will happened in the future but anyways.. I'll like to see 3 way crossfire, capture-the-flag, and more.
• When it lags - While the game runs smooth 80% of the time(or 50% if a game is already in progress), It seems that If 1 person is lagging then it effects everyone and it just ruins everything.
• Future Hook - You are hook now but what about 4-6 months later and the game remains the same. They need "and probably will" to update it regularly w/ new and shiny things like more awesome maps and what I listed above.

So you want my Final Verdict eh.. Let me say this, If you a fan of TF2 (especially if you play it on 360 and since it's NOT gonna get the Updates like PC does) you will love this game. If you Like shooters in general, you will like/love this. If you like only DotA, LoL, or/and HoN, you might like it. Give the demo a try, it practically gives you the full game right there and can play a couple of Crossfire matches. Now I need to go place my sentry in an flaking spot and get more MVP badges so cya later.

Rant - Damn You Youtube!!

Damn you youtube (sounds weird huh) for making sayid1206 delete all his HD English episodes of Case Close/Detective Conan (and apparently everyone else). I was up to the high 90's episode w/ the 3rd movie coming up. I was also really enjoying watching it on my TV (via: TVersity and my Xbox 360) too.


It's not like I tried to find it on the net or anything, I try google and found early episode till it stop mid show and telling me I have to wait 2 hrs to finished washing it.Youtube was the last place I searched cause of these possible reason.

Now I gotta find a site that haves it yet again... Sigh... 
(Or if you want to help me out, point me out to a site I can watch it in english "voice", do post it please.. kthx)

So about the show, it's an awesome anima show that I recommend checking out if you like detective stuff.

I'm out like Phantom Thief 1412 bitches!

(ps: I know their still some left on Youtube but I'm thinking long term)

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic for 5$

Free Xbox Live Content (Puts Big Neon Sign Here)

We all love free stuff so this is where I tell you where to get free Xbox Stuff (or some that comes w/ the game).

On the CAG (Cheep Ass Gamer) forums, there this post RIGHT HERE have a constant update of freebies on Xbox Live. From Arcade Game, Avatar Stuff, Game Addons, and Premium Themes, there's lots of free stuff so check it out because some freebies don't last for long.

PS: Bing T-Shirt (Universal codes:) Meaning it's usable by everyone..
PHT9P-KXR4Y-BB6BY-VFMPD-THT4T [Male] 
VFH6P-9FJKK-KKP9G-H4DRH-WTCFM [Female]

Enjoy Pimps.

Ohh.. Sry..

 Sorry for the lack of blog update. Been kinda busy w/ making my awesome door table, and playing FF 13, Mass Effect 2, and recently Perfect Dark. Also it appears my current template is busted so I'll have to search for a new one.... Again..

On a side note, Torchlight is on sell on Steam till Monday at 5 bones.. I did a review of it Here and did a Add-On special Here or you could just scroll down.

So yea that all.. Oh wait.. Their is 1 request, If you also have Perfect Dark, I'm in dire help. I need help on 2 co-op mission for the crowns.. Both requires very quick mission finish time and knowing what you doing (Lag is huge problem for both missions). Just contact me via: Xbox saying Co-op Chicago – Stealth (this can take less then 30 secs), and Carrington Institute – Defense (have to beat it in 1:30). If you need the leaderboard crown as well, that's awesome.


Till Then Pimps.

Gamestop gives you $ ( and saves $ as well)

Yea, for a limited of time, this will be the best chance to sell your use games for 50% bonus.. That's a big deal there but if you willing to part w/ a game say, Mass Effect 2, then you could get $52 for it ( $56 if you have an Edge Card ) and buy it back at a later date.. I don't see many ppl doing it tho for very good reason (the game is that good - said the dude who don't have it yet =( )...

For those who yet to pre-order God of War 3 or/and FF XIII, there's a trade offer. This depends if you have the game they want ( check their list HERE for it ) you get those games for $20. This works well for me cause I have LoZ: TP and Mario Party 8 I'm willing to part ways w/ (I'm not that crazy, the games mysteriously don't work anymore and there's no scratches on them). So I will be cashing in on that Yaaaaaaa...

Anyways 50% bonus deal ends on 3/14 and the trade offer ends on 3/16 so get cracking... Also, there's no telling if that Mass Effect price will stand so... yea...

Torchlight Mods (or Addons)

Torchlight is a very fun game but you can expand the fun of the game w/ mods ranging from new classes, quest, epic dungeons, game tweaks and more.

But before we get to that, you MUST Download TorchLeech.. It's like WoWMatrix for those who Play WoW but for those who don't, you can you can download and install Torchlight addons directly from within TorchLeech, without visiting a single website or unzipping a single file. Without it, you could face big problems ranging from mods conflict to not working. So w/ that, let's start shale we...

NPC / ITEM / GUI

Enchant Mod (never wipe) - Does what It said.. You don't want your high lvl items getting disenchantment do you?? Good...

Potion Expansion - You tend to get a bunch of potions mid game and can fill up a backpack quickly so why not let it stack potions (and warp/identify scrolls) to 200 instead of 20..

Gold Sharing Service - Since Money don't transfer from one character to another, this AddOn helps w/ that by making it transfer via Share Storage.

Merchant Pack - Adds new merchants in the town selling rings/necklace, range weapon, magic scrolls, fish, and potions. A very useful Mod.

Brighter Map - Basically Bright up the Mini and Dungeon Map.

Items Always Identified -  It can get annoying using your identify scrolls on lots of stuff you don't need so this AddOn lets you see all items stats and stuff and it also banishes identify scrolls from droping. Tho if you want this to do what it does except for RARE items, then Always Identified Except Unique is what you want but It's still in testing.

Gem Icon - It's annoying that the gems are very small as it is but then you can't stack them and see what rank they are. Well this mod does 2 out of the 3. WTB gems stacking.

Ferret Pet (by Runic) - If you got the store bough version then you got this pet already, if you didn't, then here's the mod.. Isn't He cool, w/ his goggles and all.. WORD OF WARNING. This doesn't play well w/ class mods (not sure about the store bough version tho). But read the forum to get around it.

QUEST / MAPS/ And  Swordz??

If you want to become badder, have more quest, or/and just be challenge then these are the mods you want.

Better Random Quest Fame/XP/Gold and Better Random Quest Rewards- Adds better Fame, Experience, Gold, and Weapon/Armor/Jewelry rewards for random quests. I risking my life, you better give me some epic loot!

"Tier 3" Ancient Items - As it stands, their 2 tiers, Normal and Epic. Adding a Third tier items is a big help since you leveling to 100 and Epic max at 50. It's Basically Higher lvl items w/o enchanting that lvl 40 sword till you're broke or chance of disenchanting (see Enchant Mod (never wipe))

Heron's Sword Pack - You need Swordz, you got swordz straight out of WoW all w/ it's own stats. (I'm Still waiting for the Thunderfury one Heron!!! Make it happen!! GDI!)

Starch the Monster Hunter 2: Leviathan! - Now that you got your Epic swordz, Gun ( or magic I guess...), what better way to hunt for monsters, get 4 fragments that leads to a showdown w/ Leviathan in a NEW unexplored dungeon.

Epic Boss Maps - This is not your average dungeon map. You will be against the nastiest, most hardcore bosses (of that dungeon) ALL AT ONCE! Your screen will be fill w/ them within seconds of entering. You can be Bad Ass and get the full version or be a pansy (or those w/ weak computer) and get the light version (75-150 boss monsters instead of the normal 200-400) w/ less mobs on the screen and lag.You can lvl alot in this map but don't expect to breeze through. See a short playthrough of it HERE.

LVL & Skill Mod (Raise max lvl, fame & skills) - You Hit Lvl 100 but it doesn't have to end there. W/ this mod, you can lvl till 999, raise fame up to 200 and your skills to 20. Basically giving new life to the game and speaking of new life.

CLASSES

You likely gonna get tired of playing those 3 classes so what if you can play as a WoW Shaman among others.. Well.......

WoW Shaman - Class base on the popular online game. You know you want to use Chain Lighting.

Airbender & Spirit Dancer - This is an all around class mod and fun to play as... (EDIT) He also have made a Spirit Dancer Class that looks fun.. Check it out on the link.

Demonologist (BETA 1.04) - This Class looks interesting and adding more abilities then the normal class, this one is one to watch for.

That's all the mods I recommend for now BUT I will be updating this when New / Better mods come or/and Old Mods don't work anymore... Remember to use TorchLeech as it makes Adding, Updating and Deleting AddOns easy and you want to avoided addon conflicts (unless you do research). Till then pimps...

GAME ON!

Torchlight Review - It's Clobberin' Time

First of all, I NEVER played a Diablo game so this is kinda like new territory for me and I like it.

So Powerful, The Ground Makes Lighting (Ok... kinda corney)

The game takes plane in a town called Torchlight and no sooner you step into it, trouble is happening. You get thrown into a situation to cure your self and stop Alric evil deeds.

The overall story is meh but it's the overall gameplay that will keep you hook for hours on end. The Character range from Vanquisher (Hunter / Rogue), Alchemist (Mage / Summoner) or Destroyer (Warrior) are highly customizable in terms of ability and gameplay so if you want a Gun wielding Alchemist or Close-Range Vanquisher, you can do that. You also have a pet that can hold items and better yet, go to town to sell extra item / gear for needed cash. You can also change your pet to many different types of various strengths and weakness and can learn any 2 spell (of many) scrolls you buy or find.

But what about the environment... It's awesome, vivid colors, many environments ranging from mine shafts, dwarf fortress and more. You can see for yourself in the pics.

And Finally... Loot.. Loot.. Loot.. So Many Loot you might save for other classes till you kinda out lvl your weapon or/and armor. If you get unfortunate w/ loot you need, you can always enchant them but be warned, it's not 100% and your weapon/armor can be left w/ nothing but nothing like a mod can fix for you and I'll get into it at a later date..

Their is flaws like the enchantment failing but the two other is lack of more buttons and no extra mouse support. First, the Button Issue. I have a Pure Alchemist Summoner and keeping my pets up w/ buffs and myself up w/ spells and potions. I have tons of spells / abilities but the game gives you 10 hotbar space.when I have atlease 13 I need. They try to make up for it w/ binding the F1,2,3,4,ect buttons as a quick switch button but it's fail. Needless to say this cause problems for me and my survivability. Similar to the 1st problem is no support for mouses more then 3 buttons. The extra mouse buttons could help but guess that forgot or something.

    

Anyways, It's a very fun and addicting game and I recommend you buy it on Steam or on Runic Games site or even DL the demo from steam or their site. I'll be doing a Special MOD edition of this soon but you can go Right HERE if you want to see New and good mods.

4/5 Shields


PS: Wanted to do a Video Review but things happened and stuff misplaced so =(..

Rant - Microsoft / Nintendo Points Gotz 2 Go. (UPDATE)

 (Microsoft has lower the cost of their pointz but still a fucken joke)

This is the first of probably many rants I will do so w/ that said, here goes..

This will mainly be focused on Microsoft but w/ Nintendo mention.

These so called Points as replacements for $ got to go. Say I want to buy a XBL Game or DLC for an Xbox Game that cost 15$ but 1200 MS points. However, you're only able to pay the given amount for the points which are....

• $6.25 for 500 Microsoft Points      (as of now $4.99 for 400 Microsoft Points)
• $12.50 for 1000 Microsoft Points  (now $9.99 for 800 Microsoft Points
• $25 for 2000 Microsoft Points       (now $19.99 for 1600 Microsoft Points)
• $62.50 for 5000 Microsoft Points  (now $49.99 for 4000 Microsoft Points)

That's It.. No $1, $5, $10, $15 options given which means I have to dish out $18.75 for something I wanted $15 (or 1200 MS points) for. If you think having spare MS Points and losing $3.75 is not a problem, you clearly missing the point. I and many ppl want to save money and just no need to pay extra cash when we don't need to. Many ppl don't know (or don't care to know) that 80 MS Points equals $1 and their actually exists games (and avatar gear if you count that crap) that are 1$ but spending more to get it. Their is one redeeming factor, They list the actual price on their Games On Demand so hopefully we'll see a change for the better.

Nintendo have this problem as well w/ it's Wii Points. I have 700 points but need 100 for the game I would like to purchase but theirs no $1 (or 100 Wii Points) options in the Wii Shopping Channel but instead this...

• $10.00 for 1000 Wii Points
• $20.00 for 2000 Wii Points
• $30.00 for 3000 Wii Points
• $50.00 for 5000 Wii Points

I Don't want to play $10 just to buy one game. So the point is, just ditch these points crap and Just put the damn price of the DL game/item and just do Real World Price like Playstation Network does... Yea... They didn't BS w/ ppl like the others did and that's cool points for them.

There's Info and stuff about it not meant to mislead ppl Right HERE!!
The so call more reasonable Xbox pts price info Right Here!!
