As I'm sure you are all aware Popcap's new game, Plants vs. Zombies is absolutely wonderful. For me I instantly new I would buy it first of all because it was popcap, 2nd zombies. That's just an instant buy for me. Although I new it would probably be a quality game, I was somewhat surprised at how great this game actually is. Plants vs. Zombies is personally my favorite "casual" game. I've alre...
I need to do it more. Haven't made a blog post since, let me see . . . January 8th. Well I don't know if I can recall all my gaming since then. Well yesterday I beat Prince of Persia after having to completely start over due to a game ending bug, where Elika refused to move or do anything other than save me when I jumped off thing, couldn't activate the plates though. I overall enjoyed the expe...
LOVE IT! I need to start posting more...
Back from my performance in London for the New Years Day Parade there. It was an enjoyable experience, I had a lot of fun with friends and we saw pretty much everything there is to see there, back to school though. *sigh* Anyway while in London I purchased both Fable 2 and Gears 2 for a total of around $80. So far I've enjoyed Gears 2, it's more gears, and it's better. Fable 2 was ok, a good ga...
So you've probably heard the news, 1up has been taken over by UGO. Lots of people have been fired and just a strange list of people too. Why fire these people??? All that worked at 1up were great but some that they fired were the best of the best. Anyway good luck to those fired. I'll miss the inclusion of those fired on the 1up podcasts, the best podcasts on the internet (no offense to the bom...
Scorched's 2008 Awards The end of the year has come, and another great year of gaming passes by leaving us with an array of wonderful games to play . 2007 was a great year for gaming and many were skeptical that any year would be better could be better for a good while. If 2008 has not surpassed 2007 game wise it certainly matches it with quality and number of games. It's Great to be a gamer! G...
It all depends on if The Old Republic is a good game.
So I'm back, I wasn't really gone, but I"m here now. It's been awhile since I blogged. I've just been busy. Ya know, school and stuff. I'm going to try and start up my blog again. Anyway I haven't been played any of the latest games. Just some Civ Colonizations, and that doesn't really count, but today I pre-ordered the special edition version of fallout 3 so I'll be picking that up Tuesday. I'...
So my computer is screwed. I'm not sure what's going on with it, but it randomly turns off when I'm playing a game no matter the amount of stress it's putting on the computer, so yeah that sucks. I also have very little time to blog as much as I'd like to so I apologize for that. School also sucks and I'm slowly losing my girl. Anyway games, so I've been playing some of the Total War games. No...
So this will be real quick. Nothing new in gaming for me, but I just got back from a marching competition. We competed against 10 other bands and placed 1st in everything except for drum majors. I think we had a total of about 10 trophies for a variety of achievement and superiority in certain areas. Also every member of the band received a medal. Pretty exciting. Well I'm somewhat exhausted. J...
Yeah I know, cheezy blog title, but there have been cheezier ones so ya know it works. Anyway down to business. I'm going to have to take a little brake from gaming to focus on school. Seems like an appropriate time considering all the games I've gotten have either been dissapointing or just piss me off with their constant crashing (*cough cough* clear sky). And you know Spore was pretty dissap...
So now after having to restart after a 6 hour save I got back to my point and continued past that point about 4 hours. Now my game is continuously crashing again so I can't really do anything about it. If I complete a mission it's an automatic crash, pretty much anything crashes it. Ahh I hate this because I really love playing Stalker, but I don't know if I want to play it for awhile now. It's...
I've played about 6 hours of Clear Sky now and it just crashed. It continues to crash when I try to get back to playing. I was not having any problems til now. Oh well I'll figure it out later. So far it's a pretty awesome game. Faction wars seems cool. I like the new reloading animation and the feel of the weapons. It's also cool seeing an earlier version of the stalker world. So I'm kinda pis...
Ok so Spore... *sigh*. A disappointment, I've found the game to be. So the only thing really here is the editor tools, online features, and the space stage. Which don't get me wrong, that's still a lot of good stuff, but ya know all the other stages are kind of so so. I guess I'll do a little run through. Btw I've made a pretty thorough analysis of the first four stages because of their shortne...
Just got Spore. No time to play though. Expect 1st impressions later this week maybe. Got to go though. Later. - Scorched
Well I'll miss hearing him on the Brodeo(aka GFW Radio) and Legendary thread, and also his live blogs, man those war hilarious. What is it like 17 years at 1up, that's crazy. He seemed like a great guy. He's moving on to some position in EA, I'm sure he'll enjoy his new job. Well for now I'm looking forward to the final Brodeo with him. It should be great. And hey I'm getting Spore tomorrow! Wo...
So it's my birthday to day. I'm now 16. It was a pretty good day. We got a limo and took me and a bunch of friends to IHOP for breakfast and then were dropped off at school. The rest of the day proceeded to be better than most. Anyway I haven't blogged in awhile. AP World History is freakin hard and I've got a ton of work in all my classes and also marching band; btw we performed very well at t...
Well I fixed my computer! Kind of. So for those of you who don't know I run an SLI rig. So the problem was that something was wrong with my primary GPU I assume. So I removed that card and replaced it with my secondary. Everything seems to be working fine now. Just somewhat upset to lose a card I payed 500 bucks for. I'm just glad I got it fixed though. - Scorched
So my computer is still screwed up, but I've somehow managed to get by. Luckly Castle Crashers was released so I thought I'd play that with my brother. It's very great. We've already played through the entire game once. I love the art style and humor. What a great month for the live arcade! Anyway after playing that first play through I decided to try and fix my comuter. I worked three hours st...
So tomorrow will be FCHS's (Fayette County High School's(my school's)) first marching show of the season. We will only be playing the first movement and will not be in uniform. We've really got the first movement down. I think we'll have a great performance though. So our first show after 250+ hours of practice. Wish us luck.
So yesterday I bought Braid and played it all the way through in one sitting. I thought it was a really great game with fascinating puzzles. I really had to think about a lot of them. The puzzles were very satisfying when you figured them out. I thought the story went along well with it too. No spoilers but the last level of the game was pretty emotional. At least I thought so. So I've had a lo...
so I bought it today, I just couldn't resist It's been really fun. I've tried out all the modes. I'm not going to pick a favorite mode yet but I'm enjoying the pacifism mode. I actually got both the wax on and wax off achievement today. That was pretty difficult, but well worth it. Anyway I'm really enjoying the game. Btw this may be my last post for awhile with school coming up and all, but I'...
I've finished my summer work. Too bad school is in less than 2 days. Oh well. I've decided I'm not cutting games out of my schedule, just not playing as much of them. I've canceled my gamfly account until I adjust to the school schedule, but I'll still be gaming. This and next year are going to be great years to be a gamer. I can't wait for all the amazing stuff that's coming out. I haven't bee...
So yeah my xbox was finally returned to me today. I plugged it in and checked out the too human demo, which I was not too impressed with, and also tried out Geometry Wars 2 which was really fun. All I've been playing this week is STALKER, with the oblivion lost mod, and Diablo 2 with my brother. It's been pretty fun. I've really enjoyed STALKER. I'm definitely putting it up there with the top 1...
So I've returned to band camp and it was pretty much horrible. I figured out a friend of mine is going out with the girl I like and have made very clear that I like and planned to ask out soon and that pissed me off, but no big deal because she's his first girlfriend and he has no idea what he's doing. I think they may have already broken up from what I've heard so no problem just pissed me off...
I'm going to marching band camp for the week tomorrow morning so won't be on the site til whenever I get back. Can't wait to get back. Bye.
So I just got the shipping box for me to send my 360 to Microsoft. Now I just have to mail it and wait, but I have the PC and that's all I really need. Still would like to have my 360 back though.
So I got two t-shirts and a hat from the valve store that I actually ordered just two days ago and it has already come with free shipping. Anyway here is what I ordered: caption caption caption
So guys this is my first real blog post. So far the site looks pretty cool. Although it is a little hard to navigate and has occasional slow load times I'm still enjoying being part of something new. I don't have much to say right now. E3 was cool although the press conferences weren't to good there were some good games there. I have a new interest in Dead Space after checking that out. And RE5...
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo freakin Awesome man!!!! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
