Let me, first off, start this entry with a little clarification before I get slaughtered by you insane internet frown posse, or whatever you call yourselves nowadays. [I do not advocate the removal of violence from video games, or any other "feature" such as sexual content, drugs, and language, I simply am trying to convey an idea that I had about the future of video games without them.] You've...

Because this game is still amazing! Probably even more than before...and why? I'll tell you why! I got used to modern military shooters like CoD and completely forgot about how great a game can be when it doesn't take itself so seriously. I imagine the feeling I got from playing Halo is comparable, at least, to Saints Row: The Third because this game isn't about camping and getting kill streaks...

...and the Mad God won. So, today I found this game called Realm of the Mad God on Kongregate. I was bored and looking for a simple game to pass some time while I listened to the Bombcast, but what I found was not simple at all, not in the slightest. **The Beginnining of The Endening** Upon first starting up the game, I was thrown into a tutorial that taught me all the basics: WASD to move, cli...

I get a lot of shit these days for using out of date words or phrases that nobody really use anymore. I try and salvage them because I think its interesting the way a word or phrase can gain hype throughout the world and seemingly catch on over night. I don't want these words to go away forever. I know they won't, obviously, but you get what I mean, right? I partially want to thank urbandiction...

Don't get me wrong. If I could I would, I just can't for lots of reasons that I'm too lazy to address. Anyways, guess I'll talk about em. My computer is pretty bad when it comes to gaming, especially if I want objects to be distinguishable as actual things. I can't really play any of the new games from this generation. Recently, I played the Half-Life games. HL1: Ran perfectly. No issues at all...

(*Standard Blog Disclaimer: These are opinions. You don't have to read it. Especially if you hate hearing stupid shit.) So, no doubt everyone here has watched The Truman Show, right? Yea, sure. Okay then let's get started: Sometimes I feel like my life is The Truman Show. I mean, except my name's Kevin, so The Kevin Show really. I can't be the only one though. Everybody has had to have experien...

Pre-P.S. Do Not Read If You Hate Hearing Dumb Shit, and Opinions, and Stuff. Alright! Blog time again! The best way for me to formulate my various ideas and opinions in a non-illustrated format! For this blog I wanna talk about my mixed feelings on COD Black Ops, and maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to show myself what I really want. Let's get started! So I guess Black Ops is close to being rele...

Every year it seems, I get this immense feeling of pure joy and excitement for a game. Last year, it was with Fallout 3 and this year it's Red Dead Redemption. When I get this feeling I end up watching endless gameplay vids, checking out every interview possible for hints and what'll be in the game, and searching for leaked gameplay footage. This year, however, I have contained my excitement. I...

The Halo:Reach beta began today! After downloading the beta (which took about 45-60) I immediately started it up. The beginning is an in-game cinematic of a warthog driving through a battle, and from there it puts you at the title screen. I pressed A and, before even playing my first game, got customized to my liking. Although to attain these various armor sets you must purchase them with the p...

I love this new feature and haven't stopped trying to get all of them. They are pretty challenging too, which is always fun because it'll take longer to complete. Anyways I'm kind of only making this blog for the quest since it doesn't know that you've made previous blogs. Alright then. Ummm.........bye.

This blog post is just me talking about my extensive experience with my favorite game. I will discuss the pros and the cons, my personal likes and dislikes, and much much more. Let's begin, shall we? It's dificult to choose where to start talking about this game, so I'll begin with some general information about my playthrough. My current character is level 28 and I have been playing for close...

OK, so Fallout: New Vegas is coming out soon ( Hopefully next Q ) so I thought I'd talk about my expectations and wants for the game. First, let me start off by saying I am a Huge fan of Fallout 3. I beat the game and completed most of the DLC excluding Mothership Zeta and Point Lookout. Everything about the game was so very close to perfect, but unfortunately it does face some minor hinderance...

So I played the Divinity 2 demo a couple days ago and had a sort of love hate relationship with it. I loved the dialogue for some reason, more than any other RPG, to be honest, but that was the only thing that pushed me forward through the demo. On the contrary, I realized that this game is maybe a bit ashamed of itself at points. Mainly focusing on the dialogue portions. When you talk to someb...

So Def Jam: Icon. What can I say, I mean I have been eying this game for so many years now at my local Blockbuster. I never picked it up, though because I was sort of embarrassed, but this was a game that always stood out. Whenever I walked by it I always took it and flipped it over to admire the wonderful screenshot of Lil Jon spartan kicking Xzibit. After viewing this image its IMPOSSIBLE not...

So the other day I was at the salvation army and I found the bin of cd's. I thought it was only for like music cd's, but I found some treasures everybody. I found perfect condition copies of Diablo, Grim Fandango, and even Counter Strike: Source! And only $4 each. The only bad thing about this is the CS:S game didn't have the product key, and Diablo is just a fucking ridiculously hard game, but...

Finally! The time has come. I have been looking forward to playing this game for quite a while, so when I tried to download it the day it came out I realized I did not have enough Microsoft Points. So I clicked the add points button and was unfortunatly greeted by a terrible message stating that an error had occured. I was not able to download my game I was waiting so long for. But I wasn't gon...

What is there too say about this game other than its a peice/piece ( sometimes i before e doesn't work ) of f**king s**t compared to game that we are used to. Oh yeah, it seemed like kind of a cool concept, and they had a lot of stuff that would have been awesome but no. This game doesnt even deserve a review. I can't say anything more than: !!!!! FUCK THIS GAME !!!!! But seriously if you can g...

Hello all and welcome to my first blog ever ... Lemme just explain myself right quick here. Throughout my life I have been described as R N O A D M. I like being different and cuz o dis I play different games. Games many would stray away from. But I find the more stupid games fascinating. So my blogs will consist of me talking about games that have caught MY attention, or games that have flown...
