That Soviet Guy is an obsessed gamer living in a post soviet country, and even though he's cut off from the "real world", he tries not to go crazy by playing a lot of kapitalist video games and drinking a lot of vodka
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.
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 »
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 »
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?!
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?
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 »
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.
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.
Team Fortress Scout Update The Sandman
While I’m not sure if the stun idea won’t imbalance the game, the idea is pretty sweet.
