How To Be an Asshole In TF2

Posted on Aug 21, 2009 02:09:31 PM

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.

MGS4 headed to 360? Apple iPhone MGS4 logo = Microsoft?!

Posted on Feb 28, 2009 05:39:27 AM

So we all saw the Metal Gear Solid Touch logo. And we were guessing – wtf is it?

I wasn’t hyped or anything. Then Apple announces the iPhone MGS4 port. Big deal, it’s going to be crap anyway.

And today when I was plugging my Xbox 360 in, I found the shocking truth behind the Apple-Microsoft conspiracy.

Look at the picture below. I was like WTF MAN?!

Xbox 360 logo is Metal Gear Solid Touch's logo?

Let’s just think logical here.

Apple and Microsoft aren’t buddies. Mac vs Windows

Sony and Microsoft aren’t buddies. PS3 vs 360

So what the hell is the logo found on Microsoft Xbox 360′s power button doing on a Sony exclusive game that is being ported onto the Apple iPhone?

Can someone explain or I’ll drink myself to death

Is Microsoft buying apple because of MGS4 in order to gain the rights to eventually port it to the 360? (we know MS paid $50 mil just for the crappy DLC of GTAIV, who knows, maybe they went on to buy Apple)

Or is this a global conspiracy to make us fanboys wet our pants?

Why Gaming Degrades [gamedev diaries]

Posted on Feb 25, 2009 05:05:20 PM

I come from a gamedev background. Ironically enough most US-based developers outsource most of the work to a messed up post soviet country such as mine. I’m not going to name any – COUGH -eamsoft- COUGH, but it does happen, a lot. Games get rebranded “ok, you develop it, we pay you moneyz and we pretend to have developed the game, that kuulz with you?”.

(apolegiez my kapitalist readers bcuz I’m writing this post reallyyyy high on waterpipe. I thought it was a good idea to use eukalyptus with champagne instead of water)

I was the producer. Or otherwise known as the guy that needs to come up with an idea, document it, propose, execute, lead development and deliver. Think Hideo Kojima, CliffyB etc. Only my name is never on the game.

Oh, and this was 3 years ago – before the crisis hit. So we had to come up with a game for a major client. I had this brilliant idea of a… prepare yourself – a first person prince of persia/parkour game, YAY! Reminds you of anything? Read the rest of this entry »

Gaming is degrading fast, who is to blame?

Posted on Feb 19, 2009 05:04:55 PM

The attention span of gamers is becoming shorter and shorter. 8-15 years ago it would have taken you days, or even weeks to complete a single game. That was for 2 reasons.

1 – games were longer

2 – game were DAMN HARDER

But now let’s take any AAA game, let’s say, Gears of War 2. Completed in one sitting.

GTA IV? Ok, story completed within 2 sittings (a gaming weekend). This isn’t a good example as sandbox games are arguably very replayablez.

Killzone 2? One sitting.

MGS4? If you skip the movies – 1 sitting. Although I didn’t skip the movies and completed it in a single day.

Fable 2? A damn EVENING.

Bioshock? While replayable, is also an evenings play for an experienced FPS/RPG gamer.

Now, let’s take a look at say.. the first Resident Evil. Perhaps it’s because I was younger, but it took me over 2 weeks of evening sitins to beat it.

Silent Hill? The puzzles and everything kept me occupied for long weeks. Read the rest of this entry »

Valve Are Damn Kapitalists! New TF2 update, wha-about L4D, HL2?!

Posted on Feb 18, 2009 04:15:36 PM

I hates VULV so much right nows.

They’ve released a new update for the Scout in Team Fortress 2.

It’s a new bat called the Sandman. And it comes with an actual baseball. Players will be able to stun their enemies with the baseball, mock them and then make some cheap damage shots.

While I’m not sure if the stun idea won’t imbalance the game, the idea is pretty sweet.

Yet, I can’t help NOT be frustrated by those kapitalist fackers at Valve. Read the rest of this entry »
