Out of all recent shooters, Battlefield Bad Company 2 is probably the best game where you can be a complete douche bag to your team mates, yet rank in high scores and feel accomplished.
How to be an asshole in Bad Company 2? Let’s take a look. Read the rest of this entry »
Wow. Just wow. You think that after 6 fucking years and thousands of mysteries, smoke monsters, polar bears later the LOST creators would find a creative and fitting finale for the series.
I am writing this while seriously pissed off, so if you want to spoil the Series Finale of Lost, stop reading. Wait till you watch it yourself and make your own conclusions. This post totally spoils it for you — and from the viewpoint of a _hardcore_ Lost fan that watched all seasons several times. Though I probably won’t watch Season 6 again, because it’s a disaster.
Now, how does Lost end?
[Final Scene]
Jack is lying in the bamboo field, dying. Vincent (the dog) is near him. He sees the Aljira plane flying through him, he dies.
[Meanwhile on the other side]
Jack and the whole gang is sitting at a Church. They’re all happy and reunited. Christian (Jack’s dad) walks by him, exits the door and a bright light floods the whole church.
[Cut back to Island Jack]
Jack dies
THE END.
But there must be more to it, you say? No, that’s about it. They didn’t bring the show to a logical conclusion. Here’s a rundown of what happened over 2.5 hours of the finale:
- Jack meets Smokey, they and Desmond go to the Light
- Desmond pulls the Cork (a rock out of some sort of hole in the ground); whole island goes to hell
- Smokey becomes mortal, Jack kills Smokey, gets wounded
- Jack/Hurley/Ben go back to the light source to fix it
- Sawyer/Kate go to the plane which is being fixed by Alpert (who is also mortal now), Lapedus (did I spell that right?) and the I-Talk-to-Dead-People Asian guy.
- Jack promotes Hurley to be the new Jacob; makes Ben his deputy
- Jack fixed the light, rescues Desmond
- Jack dies
[The Other Side]
- Everyone gets [flashbacks to the island], remember everyone else. Everyone is happy and decide to have a meetup in a church.
- Everyone is smiling at the church; light floods it as Christian exits the building.
[That's it]
No, seriously — that’s it.
While I understand the emotional aspect of the finale — which was executed very well, I feel I just lost 6 years of my life hoping for something special and all I got was a Battlestar Galactica (no, I actually didn’t watch that show but I assume their series finale was somewhat similar).
So yes, we understand the show was all about the characters. And I couldn’t help but smile when I looked at Charlie reuniting with Claire on the other side.
But come on! Why was WAAAAALLLTTTTTT special? What’s up with the numbers? [insert your list of 50 questions here]
I really feel like I gave my heart to Lost and it just threw it all away. This reminds me somewhat of the X-Files cheap finale.
Lost, you broke my heart. Sincerely, faithful fan.
I was bored and decided to play some TF2. Being a team player, I usually support the team to win. But at that specific play session, I was like “hey, I need to relax, have some fun” — so I decided to be an asshole to my team. And you know what? It’s so much fun.
What you need:
- A Spy
- A motion invis watch
- A binded “last disguise button” (usually B) Read the rest of this entry »
Seriously, this makes me want to buy a gaming PC. I loved the first Guild Wars because it had better production values than WoW and didn’t charge you monthly.
And after seeing this trailer, I am sold. Buying on day 1 and I probably won’t have a life for a month.. or three.
Who cares to disagree that Guild Wars 2 looks extremely promising? I just hope Blizzards “next MMO” looks just as good.
I found this picture hilarious. Remember how Microsoft kept having the upper hand and bashing the PS3?
Look at todays main page on digg.com:
Take that Microsoft! Now go mate with Kojima or something.
Do you know that feeling when you beat a game and the ending just makes you wish you hadn’t even picked it up? This is the top 5 list of games that don’t make you do that. Instead, the endings in this game give you huge satisfaction and leave you wanting a whole lot more. Read the rest of this entry »
Some boss fights are forgotten the moment they’re beaten. But some remain in your memory and you sometimes want to replay the game just for that single boss. Here’s a top 10 list of those types of bosses – with videos!
In the world of shooters, every now and then there are several competitors on the market, and one is pushed harder than the other. As a result, some games get missed and don’t get the attention they deserve. So here is a list of Top 5 Most Underrated First Person Shooters. Read the rest of this entry »
After a long pause, I am back into gaming. And since I missed many titles, I decided to go for an “Unbiased” type of review.
The idea is that the hype is all gone, the game is out and it’s been a while.
Todays subject is Resistance 2. I got the game along with 20+ other titles I missed, so there is no hype there. I popped in all of the games and didn’t know which one to play first. Prototype was ok, inFamous was okay-ish, Dead Space is intense, Killzone 2 is pretty and so on.
But the game that got my attention the most was Resistance 2 – probably because I wasn’t expecting anything from it. Seriously, after the Halo series I got this “all marine shooters are generic crap” feeling. That is what I thought about the first game and what I assumed the second one would be.

Last night I posted initial thoughts on Resident Evil 5. I pitty those who took it seriously and as a _real_ review. I don’t give a crap on what fanboys think, even if they do say I suck simply because of giving a game a low score. Get a life people.
So today I’ve played through the whole game with a friend in co-op. And I got to play Sheva this time, sexy times!
Now, on a sober mind, here are the things that drag this game down really badly:
- the final boss is quicktime event
- the pre-pre-final boss is a quicktime event (A REALLY LONG ONE)
- the second boss before that one is also a quicktime event
- the boss after that one (before the pre-pre final) is “target the satlite at the monster” (do I smell Gears of War?)
- the story makes very little sense, the whole situation with Jill was a bit way too obvious
- some serious bugs within the game, and I mean SERIOUS
- extremely unpaced in terms of difficulty
- some horrible writing
And the upsides are:
- really sharp graphics if you don’t mind the anti-aliasing
- Wesker finally dies
- Well, Wesker dies several times
- Chris scores a threesome
- Merceneries is AWEZUM!
- Playing with a friend online is totally amazing, huge replay value
- The bugs make for some really fun times with bosses, too bad you don’t get achievements for knifing guys
- Your girlfriend won’t kick you out for playing RE5 for 2 days because you can say “Hey hun, wanna know the real story behind Resident Evil?” (referring to the movies) Read the rest of this entry »
