I thought I would make a blog as well. Not very good at this kind of thing, but I'm going to do it anyways. Like many of you on the site, I have never met Ryan ever. I've known about Ryan from the GameSpot days. Never really started paying attention to him and the crew till October 08ish when I listened to the Bombcast with Ed Boon on it. Ever since that Bombcast I stared listening to it and st...
HOLY SHIT A NEW BLOG POST BLAH BLAH BLAH CHICKEN TACO For some reason I played through Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde on my Twitch TV page and uploaded it to my YouTube channel . WATCH IT OR I WILL KILL ALL OF THE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!! (WARNING, THE VIDEOS HAS STRONG LANGUAGE!) Part 1 is embed right here and the rest of the playlist can be found HERE . Can't embed the whole playlist for some reason. FUCK T...

Did somebody say video games? Just making a short little blog post here. Not going to attach this to the forums because this is mainly self advertising. Lately I have been doing a lot of streaming and it's been a blast. I have played around with it before, but just a few weeks ago I have started doing it more often. Of course I just started so the presentation and many other things are professi...
Thought I would make this little blog about this game my buddy and I found last night and spread the word about it. The game is called Avatar Adventurers Online for XBL Indie Games . AAO is an "MMORPG" developed by Squarebananas. And I put MMO in quotes because it's not a true MMORPG. You can kinda think of it like Phantasy Star. While the game does have online, you can only connect to 15 other...
So I made quite the accomplishment with this game today. Holy crap, that's a lot of game time put into a fighter. This is the most time I have ever put into a video game before and it's quite amazing. Playing for over 1000 hours (counting the original SF4 as well) makes quite the difference in skill.
Picture not taken with 3DS camera, as you can tell. I've had my 3DS for over 24 hours now so I thought I would through together a quick impressions list of the things I like and don't like about the games I have and the hardware itself. Hardware Pros: Actually surprised how good the 3D is. I was one of those guys who thought I would never use the 3D that much at well. Then I tried it out and se...
For some odd reason, Ridge Racer 3D was released today. For shits and giggles, I thought I would compare the game cases of the 3DS and DS. I'll compare it with the Pokemon White case. Pictures taken with my DSi. 3DS case is thiner. Not sure if this is a Ridge Racer thing, but I think all the spins will be White for 3DS cases. Also, from what I've heard, the little image under the 3DS logo is th...
So I was playing some HDR , fighting some scrubby Akumas . For those of you that don't know, Akuma is broken in HDR and ST as well. So I sent a message to one of them, then I got this message back. Wow... The lesson to learn here: Don't play Ranked in HDR. You will fight a ton of turtleing Akumas/Shotos. Play this game with friends. Jordan, over and out. BONUS STAGE!!!!
So I finally got around to playing Kinect . Like most people, Kinect Adventures was my first Kinect experience. So what did I think about it? It was OK. The Kinect sensor worked better then I thought it would and I was impressed. Not a fan of the Kinect menu navigation. Would rather have the option of using a controller to navigate in game menus. At least you can use the guide with a controller...
Scott Pilgrim Once upon a time there was this guy named Scott Pilgrim . He is some lazy dude from Toronto. One day he meets this chick Ramona Flowers , but to keep dating this he he must defeat her 7 evil ex-boyfriends. THAT'S IT! THE END /blog OK, the blog isn't over yet. If you don't know what Scott Pilgrim is about, that's the basic jist of if. Last night (well, technically really early this...
It's been a while since I did a blog here on Giant Bomb. So I went to GameStop to pick up Castlevania: Lords of Shadow . After I get the game, my friend texts me to go to Blockbuster. I said "Why?" He says "They are selling everything for $5." So apparently my Blockbuster is going out of business and they have to sell everything quick. Old stuff to new stuff, $5 each. I had $25 to spend so thes...
solidman80 is so mean. :_(
GET HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYPE FOR SUPER STREET FIGHTER IV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OK, had to get that out of the way first. With Super Street Fighter IV out tomorrow (well, in NA anyways), I thought it would be fun to share some quick thoughts I had with the game. Before that though, I'm going to share my player data. P...
It's been a long time since I did an actual blog post over here at Giant Bomb, so why not make it about Pokemon! Feraligatr is a bad ass with Ice Beam, but where do I get it? So I was happily playing SoulSilver . Everything is going all nice and good. Then I starting thinking about what moves I wanted to give my Feraligatr and started thinking about giving him Ice Beam, one of the best Ice move...
I have plenty of games to play for a while. I mentioned all the games I got for Christmas in my blog .
Well, there are no tacos here actually. Sorry :( Instead you have to read this blog about what I got for Christmas and be super jealous about it. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Now it's serious time. Probably like many other Bombers here on GB, they are probably blogging about what they got for Christmas or it's in one big super thread and this thread will end up getting locked. Anyways, I thought I would sha...
I haven never cared about mobile gaming. If I want to play games on the go, I will just bring my DSi.
I guess I haven't made a normal blog in a while. Usually when I blog I talk about something in particular, but this time I just want to blog about what I'm doing. First things first I finally got a hair cut. I haven't gotten a hair cut since February or March I think. It's been way to long. Here are pictures from before and after the buzzer raped my hair. I feel so much better after getting my...
Well, I have just 100% NSMBW and I thought I would share my thoughts on the game. I could do a user review but, I'm to lazy. to write a well thought out review. :P Instead of a written review here are some bullet points for what I liked about the game and what I didn't like. What I liked: A new Mario platformer on the Wii. Has a simple, clean, and colorful look to the game which is nice. Looks...
It's been awhile since I made a blog over here at Giant Bomb so now is a good time to. As you may know, Halloween is tomorrow. It's a night to run around getting candy from strangers but, last night something happened. Last night we had a huge snow storm and got a crap ton of snow. I'm not sure how much but, more then I usually get here (maybe I can find out how much later) in my humble town in...
There will be people who love the new features coming out. While I'm not really into the whole social networking thing at the moment, they are neat little features. I just wish they are a little better. There really isn't much to the Twitter app. You just post your status and well, that's pretty much it. With Facebook, I wish you could chat with your friends online (the IM thing) from your Xbox...
I want a good selection of games, a good user interface, cheap downloadable games, great music capabilities, and some other useful stuff to add more to a great experience.
I think New Super Mario Bros. Wii will be a "must-own" game if you own a Wii.
Just a few hours ago I seen Halloween 2 (aka H2). The film wasn't to shabby. I can say is that it's different for a Halloween movie and you can definitely tell that Rob Zombie made it. Just like all Zombie movies, the death scenes are brutal. "STAB STAB STAB STAB STAB STAB and one more stab to make sure they are dead" is probably what Michael thinks when he kills someone. The story kinda wasn't...
Yes I do because there are a lot of great downloadable games that you can only get from a digital store.
No unless they remake Tecmo Super Bowl or the first NFL Blitz.
Today I finally got my stick. I've been wanting one for a while now but, I didn't the money. Two days ago was my birthday and I got some money to go towards. So far I like it. I just need to get used to using a Japanese style arcade stick now. Well, I just need to get used to an arcade stick. I've never owned a stick before in my life. Here is a un-boxing video I made for it. I know that there...
Today is my 19th birthday! I really don't fell any older. Today just feels like another summer day to me right now. For gifts I just got money but, I'm going to use that money and finally get at Street Fighter IV Tournament Edition Arcade stick. I've been wanting one for a very long time now. I guess another present is the Bombcast. Best present ever? One more thing is that today the new dashbo...
Yeah! I got selected to preview the new dashboard. After playing around with it for like 10 min, I really like it. The dashboard and guide seem to be faster, love the user review stuff for marketplace, and sorting your friends list. I also like the Gold Veterans thing. It shows how many years you have been a subscriber to Xbox Live. It shows 2 for me so, I have been a subscriber for 2 years. An...
I think that it's awesome that a bunch of big name fighting games are coming out this year. After I got HD Remix back in December, I've gotten back into fighters big time. I'm up for new fighters anytime. Can't wait for Tekken 6.
I was chatting with one of my friends online and he asked for my address so he could find my house on Google Earth. So I gave it to him and then I decided, I'll go find his house. After I located his house, I decided to look for the GiantBomb office on Google Maps for fun. I was looking for like 10 minutes and I finally found it. Whiskey Media Building Wow, the building is a lot bigger then I t...
I have finally 100% Super Mario Galaxy with Luigi. About time, it took me 20 months to beat it. Ok, I guess I didn't try to beat it on all days. The Grand Finale Galaxy is now open! After watching the Mario Marathon for charity, I wanted to finish this game. When I booted up the game today, I seen I had 90 Stars with Luigi so I was like "Hey, I could beat this today." I'm really glad I did to....
Before you read this, read Ryan's article . Now since you have read that, you guys get to help me. I'm kinda going towards the WiiWare game since that is the only way to get that game but, the Mario hat does look rad. I think the WiiWare game would be fun for like 20 minutes then get old fast. I may as well get Punchout!! instead. Maybe I should get the hat instead. AAAGH! I can't decide. What...
Major Nelson's Profile The topic title says it all. I played a game of BF 1943 with thee Major Nelson. I didn't schedule anything with him, he was just in the Major Nelson on my team. match that I joined. In the first match he was on the other team. In the second match, he was on my team. I found it kinda strange that he didn't have a mic. I kinda wanted to talk to him, chat about Xbox in gener...
Japanese box art of the game. I have been playing BlazBlue and loving it since I got it on the 4th of July. When I first open the game case and looked at the maunel, I seen an ad for Battle Fantasia on the back of it. Battle Fantasia is a game made by the same creators as BlazBlue and Guilty Gear and is only on Xbox 360 (in America only). Now after playing BlazBlue, I really want to check out A...
Just a few hours ago I went to play some BlazBlue. Right when the game started, my Xbox turned off. When I turned my Xbox back on, I discovered that my Xbox 360 profile got corrupt. At first I didn't believe it and almost shit my pants but, then I remembered "Recover Gamertag." I'm very thankful for this feature and if I recall, PS3 doesn't have something like this but I could be wrong. Anyways...
I was on Newgrounds looking around and I stumbled across this on RubberNinja's blog (Don't know him? Check out his Flash Vids) and he had a link to http://www.yooouuutuuube.com/ , which might be one of my favorite YouTube fan project out there. What is it? You put in a link to a YouTube video and it makes a grid of the video on your screen. You can also customize this by setting the Width and H...
Really.....REALLY!? You have to go be kidding me. This looks like the worst f**king movie ever. They made Date Movie, Epic Movie, Scary Movie (first one was good), and now this f**king piece of trash. I'm sorry, I think I would rather eat the rotten asshole of a road killed skunk and down it with beer then watch this awful piece a crap. I would rather jump into a pile of needles then watch this...
I'm one of those people who love to watch horror movies and one of those movies that I like is Halloween (2007). There has been some negative back lash on Rob's remake but personally, I love the dark twist he did. It was new and refreshing to slasher movies in my opinion. Anyways, a few days ago Entertainment Tonight had a sneak peak of the movie: After seeing this video I'm not even more excit...
Ok, so I know that Amped 3 is a really old Xbox 360 game. Just recently I ordered this from Gamestop.com for the Buy 2 Get 1 free deal and I picked this game as my free game. The last time I really played a snowboarding game was Cool Borders 2 for the PS1. I never played the SSX games but I've heard great things about them so I thought "Hey, maybe this will be a fun game." I've heard some good...
