Close Range
This is a hilarious parody, but perhaps not for the very squeamish. Watch the video and play the “demo.”
Modern Warfare 2
Apparently the marketing people at Activision want Modern Warfare 2 to be the best-selling game of all time. That’s not really very interesting, but I had some fun in the comments thread.
The Real Reason for DRM
Shamus Young has another interesting post about DRM on his blog, Twenty Sided. But I found the insight of one of the commenters even more interesting:
Hinterland
Hinterland has just been released on Steam. But I think I’ll wait until it’s on Impulse.
Quoth the Raven, “404.”
From the forums at Champions-Online.com, Black_Pagoda ran across their awesome 404 page. Check it out.
Here is a post. Please be careful with it.
Got Super Smash Bros. Brawl yesterday and have been having fun with it. The story mode is significantly longer than it was in Melee; in that one you could finish it in an hour or so, whereas I played a lot yesterday and am 1/3 of the way through the story in Brawl. I’m glad [...]
Wholly Crap
Been a while since I posted here, huh? Hmm. : /
Well, an update on what I’ve been doing:
I am starting work on a video game version of Stardust (you may recall that Stardust is the working title of my board game side project—or you may not), using XNA Game Studio 2.0, which I hope to [...]
Geocaching, and Galactic Civilizations II
Do you know what geocaching is? I didn’t, either, until Russ Pitts explained it to me. I’ll wait while he explains it to you, too.
To developers: please delay the release of your awesome game.
Well, after reading this, Call of Duty 4 has now been added to my Christmas list as well. There are so many good games coming out, it’s a little daunting and worrisome. When will I have the time to enjoy them all?
Metaplace Announced
Raph Koster and Areae have just unveiled their big project, Metaplace. It sounds really exciting; I hope the targeted ads are not too obtrusive, and I very much hope that clients will be available for all the consoles and handhelds (PS3, 360, Wii, PSP, DS). I don’t really like playing games on the PC anymore, because [...]
weird…
Well, the USB keyboard works… but not on the USB port. Apparently the PS/2 port is ok, though the USB ports on this thing are tricky–some things work on them and some things don’t.
funny thing, time
Particularly funny, or at least I assume it would be from some point of view, not neccessarily mine, is the way it changes things. Like, for instance, my home computer’s PS/2 keyboard port failing. At least I’m pretty sure that is the problem. It’s another sign of age for what is the electronic equivalent of [...]
trying Shadowbane
My friend convinced me to try Shadowbane out now that it’s free. And I convinced another friend to download it and try it with me. I always thought the large number of options for characters looked interesting. I’ll write more later about my general thoughts on MMOs.
