10 - The First Chicken Dinner It all starts here. The first time I won a round of PUBG my heart was pounding and my hands were shaking. Never before has a game gotten such an overwhelming physical reaction out of me. 9 - Always go for the crate Go for the crates. It always works out. Always. 8 - Avenging your friends You get into a brawl and most of your squad dies. You know you're not going to...
This will be my 5th year participating in Extra-Life and the 5th year I've run my INFAMOUS Extra-Life raffle. I haven't had the time to properly pimp all this amazing prizes this year so here it goes! All you need to do to get into the raffle is donate more than $5 to me on Extra-Life http://www.extra-life.org/participant/pascual The Bronto Thunder Special! - One of everything esteemed workshop...
The Exiled Realm of Arborea or Tera if your not crazy is a Korean action MMO and will soon make it’s US and EU debut. Recently Frogster (The EU publishers of Tera) planed to do a sneak peek weekend, where people could try out the game before it went into closed beta. That didn’t happen. From what I can tell their servers blew up under the load and they canceled the weekend event. Of course this...
Don't like text? Skip to the bottom for the video version! All mods are shown in the video. KenMOD Time on loading screen : As you have probably already guessed this mod displays your computers current time on the loading screen, so simple yet so elegant. Skyrim is one of those games that people regularly lose track of time in. It’s quite possible that you sit down to play saying that you’re ju...
On October 15th I will be participating in the Extra-Life charity marathon to raise money for the children's miracle network. I've done this is the past and one thing I like to do is gather a bunch prizes to give away for people who donate. I find that it makes the whole thing a lot more fun and also gives people incentive to donate. Last year I gathered a few game codes to give away and I want...
E3! Do you like video games? I sure do and I’ve been pretty overwhelmed with the amount of content coming at me from every direction. Through with this bombardment of information there is one game I crave information for more than any other. Star Wars: The Old Republic. Over the past couple of days I’ve noticed TOR catching a fair amount of negative press and I’m not sure why. Smuggler talking...
Damn you steam sales! I don’t even know how I got this game! It was probably part of a bundle but it’s weird that I can own a game and not even realize it. I saw Lugaru HD on my steam games list recently and was met with a screenshot of a rabbit stabbing another rabbit with a sword. Needless to say I was intrigued and after many days of nothing I decided to give it a go. Watch video now: This g...
Arrival is last chuck of DLC for Mass Effect 2 and is meant to bridge the gap between the end of ME2 and the start of ME3. You start off my receiving a message from your old friend Admiral Hackett requesting that you rescue a Dr held in a Batarian prison. Apparently she found evidence of an imminent reaper invasion but was captured shortly after. You must go in alone as sending in a squad could...
OK the first thing you have to do is watch this sweet live action Street Fighter thing. Cool right? I thought it was kinda cheesy at first but it was fun to watch those dudes fake fight. Anyway now we got that out of the way, GAMES! I went to the old truman brewery in London after a long day of D&D hoping that some face time with the 3DS will convince me I need one. Most of the feedback I’ve he...
They did it! They finally did it! The Matrix Online now has a somewhat stable emulator that you can actually play. I’ve been keeping track of the different emulators for MXO and how they have been progressing since the server shutdown and this is by far the best. Having said that it’s still pretty damn broken. Combat doesn’t work, the character creation barely works and there’s not a lot to do...
Thanks to everyone who asked questions in this thread hopefully this video answered all your questions!
My adventures into the world of DC Universe Online continue and today I bring you a video covering the first quest and my first impressions on combat. Part 1: Part 2:
I can’t help myself. Every time a new mmo is released I have to buy it. I play for the first month and see if it sticks. I also think the first month(ish) is vital to a mmos development. With these things in mind I’m going to be playing/recording a lot of DCuo (That’s DC Universe Online) and where better to start than with character creation. Obliviously I recommend you watch my fantastic video...
I suck at Starcraft but I love watching it. I can’t enough of the current GSL on Gomtv and I’m constantly watching replays on YouTube. It’s a real shame that I don’t know what the hell I’m doing when it comes to multiplayer but I want to get better. So I’m going to start doing daily ladder matches and try my best to actually win. Oh and I decided to record some of my matches. I figure you can s...
My face is red...
If you have time check it out HERE and if you have the monies please donate HERE also anyone who donates will be entered into my raffle to win some games! (list is on the donation page)
I will be participating in the Extra Life gaming marathon this weekend in a effort to raise money for children's hospitals all over the world. I have managed to gather some PSN and XBLA codes to give away to people that donate to me. Please if you can donate and maybe you will get something in return! To donate please go to http://bit.ly/extralifematt So far I have 8 codes to give away so if 8...
I have a extra code and I'm giving it away! (because I'm so cool)
I've won things before but nothing as good as this. A brand new Halo Reach Limited Edition Console bundle. Needless to say I was pretty stoked when I won so I made a little video show my appreciation and to show off the console. So here's the clip I bought with me, check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbA7dObxYIY
I went to Starcraft 2 midnight launch at Oxford Street in London to get get my CE edition of Starcraft 2. It was actually quite a good event, they gave out free cupcakes and goodie bags and had people dress up as some of the characters. I also bought a clip with me!
I get too excited and worked up about games before they’re released. I can’t help it. I always build myself up and most of the time the game doesn’t meet my expectations. This happened most recently with Red Dead Redemption and in my defence it was hard not to get excited about it. I like the western setting, I like Rockstar and in the 3 day period between the US and EU release date I got even...
All across the land wherever a server is shutting down, I will be there! As part of the XBOXALYPSE I was playing Halo 2 for far longer than I really should have and recorded most of it. So here is the best of mat the monkey on the last night of Halo 2!
This is a dumb video I made but if you have ever seen Black Books you will get it.
So I jumped on the stimulus map pack today mainly to do these comparison videos. These 2 videos compare Crash and Overgrown to the remade versions of them in the Stimulus pack. Let me know what you think!
The Splinter Cell Conviction demo hit just mere hours ago and I was up bright and early ready to start downloading ASAP! The demo is actually not that long (around 10-50 minutes) but it does a good job of letting you get used to the new play style of Sam Fisher. Mark and execute is when you mark up to three targets and take them out instantly with your pistol. It just makes you feel like a bad...
I managed to get my hands on the Blur beta earlier and man, I am seriously impressed. Blur is really good! Basically Blur is Wipeout/Mario Kart but with real cars. The online can support up to 20 players racing at once and then it gets real crazy! Blur does something I wish a lot of other games did, they just copied Modern Warfare’s online structure... all of it. Gaining levels, challenges, per...
Borderlands is a great game but towards the end you didn’t have a lot left to do and the only real way to find upgrades was to farm chests in New Heaven. The Secret Armory Of General Knoxx has added more levels and more gear but more importantly has added things to do after you hit the level cap. I won’t go into too much detail but rest assured its a lot more fun finding upgrades. So this first...
Just got done playing the The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom (Trial) and I'm definitely going to buy it once I'm done with my current games. I recorded myself playing so check out P.B. Winterbottom hunting down those naughty pies!
Galactic Warfare is a COD4 mod that changes everything to make it look and fell like Star Wars. Yes Call of Duty 4 is a few years old and yes Modern Warfare 2 just came out but if you have COD4 for the PC this mod is worth checking it out (It’s Free!). To download it and get some more information click HERE and I bought a clip of me playing and talking about it.
For the longest time my dream has been to attend E3 at least once. I imagine quite a lot of other gamers also have the same goal. E3, where the big 3 show off their new line consoles and games are shown for the very first time. It sounds great but after attending the Euro Gamer Expo, E3 is no longer the dream. I have to say it’s not because the Euro Gamer Expo was bad in anyway, I think they di...
League of Legends is a free to play online multiplayer game being developed by Riot Games and I think a little history lesson is in order here. A long time ago when the world was a better place Warcraft 3 was released and it was good. A lot of mods were made for Warcraft 3 but one stood out like no other and that mod was defence of the ancients (DOTA for short). DOTA became hugely popular and L...
Fallen Earth is a new post apocalyptic MMO that just launched that deserves a lot more press than its getting. Hopefully after watching these videos I can convince some of you to give it a try. I couldn’t embed all 3 parts so ill link parts 2 and 3 below part 1. Part 2 Part 3
I’ve been playing champions online for a whole week now and I thought I would try and do video updates as a play and share my thoughts with you guys. This is the second video in the series and hopefully you guys will enjoy it. Part 1: Part 2:
So this first video is of the final mission you undergo in the tutorial area before they kick you out on to the harsh streets of Millennium City. Hopefully there are a lot more missions like this one... Oh and I’ve bought a clip! The next video shows of the PvP in Champions. I can only enter cage matches at the moment but hopefully there will be some new options as I level up. It uses a level b...
It's not the same...
Recently I’ve been going through some of my older games that I never finished (or never really started) and trying to complete them one by one. The first game on my list is Eternal Sonata, a Japanese RPG that came out for the Xbox 360 in October 2007. I was initially interested in Eternal Sonata because of its very striking and beautiful art style. So I checked out the demo on XBL and I liked i...
Man.... give me a sec... breathe.. Ok I’m good. I just powered my way through shadow complex and man it’s a good game, like really good! I have personally never played Super Metroid or Castlevania: Symphony of the Night so this really was a new game experience for me and I really enjoyed it. In a way shadow complex played a lot like Diablo and Sacred 2. Constantly looking for that next upgrade...
BERET! I also made some GiantBomb themes for the 360/PS3. Check them out in this thread! http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/off-topic/31/giantbomb-xbox-360-themes/255720/#1
This is the last video i recorded from The Matrix Online and in this video you can see me and Dark Evolution trying to push the server to its limits. We started spawning these level 255 agents and when you kill one of them another two spawn and with the one shot admin ability a few of us had we got a lot of agents really fast. In the end the admins found out what we were doing and stopped the a...
The Matrix.... basically dancing and fighting.
So the matrix online ended 52 mins ago at the time of writing and I'm feeling very conflicted about the whole thing. Don't get me wrong the MXO was not a perfect game but I've never and probably will never play a game like it ever again. What the MXO lacked in terms of content the community made up for in spades, something sorely lacking in other mmos. Ive played warcraft, city of heroes, star...
The Matrix online is basically dancing and fighting, I did that in spades showing Ryan all the hot spots in MXO. I was Pascual if any of you were watching live. I thought the MXO shutdown was gonna be boring and anti climatic but this endurance run has made it a lot more interesting.
So i played the F.E.A.R 2 demo and recorded it in beautiful HD. I think i have to mention that these videos are very gory and i swear (curse) a lot so fair warning. Apart from that i really loved this demo and i hope you enjoy watching it, feedback is welcome.

Since vimeo deleted all my videos i will be uploading on YouTube. I never used YouTube before because the video quality was so poor but with their new high quality and wide screen support the videos are looking great. Check out this demo..
So i got this e-mail from the lovely people at vimeo Dear Matt Pascual: Your account has been removed by Vimeo staff. Reason: Gameplay is not allowed on vimeo. Regards, Vimeo What the fuck is this? Ah anyway does anyone know any other good sites to upload my videos?
So the Left 4 Dead demo hit earlier today and i made this video showing off some of the zombie-tastic moments. This video is me playing single player with bots. Enjoy :) Left 4 Dead: My time with the demo from Matt Pascual on Vimeo .
zombie panic source demo from Matt Pascual on Vimeo .
Crysis Warhead gameplay + commentary from Matt Pascual on Vimeo .
So i went to submit 2 character pages nearly 4 days ago and i just found out they got rejected. Kinda sucks that i had to wait that long to find out someone got there before me but when i checked the characters i wanted to add, there were no pages for them. I'm probably gonna wait for the approval process to speed up before i try to submit any more stuff.
So the bomb has dropped and it looks great. First off I'm really happy to get the name "Matt" if i had it my way i would use it for everything. The site look great and so far seems to be working really well. Consider this a test blog but so far so good.
