My Mom Is Sick, Also a Review

2008-02-25T12:18:00.001-08:00

Yea, it kinda sucks and I have to do most things around our house now since my brother is useless. I'll just do a quick review of one of the greatest games I have ever played.

It is AUDIOSURF!

Yes, this game is so very very fun and I bought it as soon as I saw a video of it on Youtube.

I love these kinda of games and support Indie game developers like this (please tell me if what I just said was wrong). Anyhoo, buy this game, it's only 10 dollars on Steam

Wayyyyyy To Much Trouble...

2008-02-19T17:45:00.000-08:00

The Blogger website was doing some crap and I couldn't remember my password or something like that so I had to reset it and blah, blah, blah. I'll update here soon, I hope I won't have to do any of that stuff again, it was a pain in the butt.

Rez

2008-02-11T12:15:00.000-08:00

I have played this game and it is fun, it was originally for the Dreamcast (and PS2, but the PS2 sucks so who cares), but sense the Dreamcast was discontinued early and didn't gain much popularity, sales were down and it had to stop being made. That sucks....at least I have one though =D

I'm not sure what is going on in this game other than it takes place is cyberspace, so here is a fresh plate of copy-pasta for you.

"The game is set in futuristic computer "supernetwork" called the K-project where much of the data flow is controlled by an AI named Eden. Eden has become overwhelmed with the amount of knowledge gathered on the network, causing her to doubt her existence and enter a shutdown sequence, which would create catastrophic problems everywhere should she be able to complete this. The player plays the protagonist hacker, logging into the K-project system to reboot Eden while destroying any viruses or firewalls that happen to inhibit progress, and analyzing other sub-areas of the network to gain access to Eden's location. The K-Project name and much of the game's visual and synesthesia inspiration comes from the Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, whereas the Rez name was inspired by the Underworld track of the same name."

I love wikipedia...I also love games that have a huge story-line that you can only find out online because the game tells nothing about the story....

Also, Rez HD came out a couple weeks ago on the Xbox Live Arcade...Not buying it though because I already have this.

Nothing Going On...

2008-02-06T12:34:00.000-08:00

There doesn't seem to be much going on in my life so that is why there are no updates. To satisfy you, here is a funny picture off of the internet.

The Super Bowl

2008-02-03T14:43:00.000-08:00

I don't know what people see in it, especially this one. Giants vs. Patriots. Pshh...Boring teams because one is super good and the other...I don't know how they got here.

Hopefully the commercials will be good, but they seem to be getting worse every year D=

Oh well, at least there is good food =D

Project64 is back online!

2008-02-02T11:42:00.000-08:00

Hurray! Project64's online netplay has been down for a bit because the Kaillera server is going down. Anti-3D has picked up the netplay so that we can now play our favorite Nintendo 64 games with more than just people at our house. Here is how to get Project 64 online.

1. Download Project64k
2. Get a ROM file (a game), I don't care how you do it. This could be illegal on how you get it, just do not ask me for a place to go to. If you actually own the game and then you download the ROM file, then I believe this is legal because it's technically a backup which is fine. I don't entirely know though so just don't ask me to give you a ROM or a place to download a ROM, just Google search it.
3. Open the folder that has all the stuff you downloaded with the Project64 stuff and open Project64k, not Project64.
4. Go to file, then choose ROM directory and then search for the folder that has your ROM
5. Go to Options->Configure Controller Plugins to configure the buttons that you want to use. I personally use an Adaptoid so I can use a real Nintendo64 controller while playing...They don't make these anymore though D=
6. Go to File->Start Netplay and choose a server to go onto and have some fun.

If you want to challenge me or anyone on the forum, just go to the Project 64 Online Thread in the Video Game section of the forum.

Review: Mass Effect

2008-02-01T14:51:00.000-08:00

Well, this game's graphics are so great and detailed that it takes about 5 seconds after the game has loaded for all the textures to be filled in and even this not all of the textures are loaded.

The game play it great, Knights of the Old Republic mixed with a 3rd person shooter. It has incorporated a great game with a different style and succeeded very well.

Graphics- 10/10 (would have gained more, but it takes to long for the textures to load)
Gameplay-9/10 (would have been 10/10, but there is 1 major problem *see below*)
Sound- 9/10- I would have given it a 10, but I don't think Aliens that speak perfect English and don't have an accent at all is a bit weird and kinda annoyed me throughout the game.
Balance (easy/hard)- The normal setting is well...normal, you die sometimes, but when you know what to do, you can plan ahead and do it easily.

*The major problem is that occasionally when you go to an edge and when to try to walk away, you start glitching and you can't move and you have to revert to the nearest saved point <_<

Rock Band

2008-01-31T13:14:00.000-08:00

I love this game, I play it all the time, just recently beat the guitar mode on Expert. I got the golden guitar =D. I'm trying to go through the Drums on Expert now though and I'm stuck on "Foreplay/Long Time" by Boston. RockBand is a game that you can play over and over again and then play it online over and over again. I'm ranked like 80th on Suffragette City for drums.

Also, my friend just showed me this, Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6: Vegas 2. Graphics are getting so lifelike, in a year or two it will be all 100% realistic looking.

Annual Flash Animation Submitted Today!

2008-01-30T12:45:00.000-08:00

After months of procrastination and last day additions, I have finally completed my flash animation for the Indiana Junior Classical League. For most of you who do not know what this is, it is a club for students in latin, this is not just in Indiana either, JCL is nation wide. We have 2 main conventions, state, and national. I have never been to national, but I love state convention and have done it every year. The first time I went and submitted a flash and other graphic arts, I got first in the multimedia (the flash) and a couple of 2nd and 3rds. The second time I went though, I didn't get anything D=

This time is going to be different....I hope...Anyway, I can't post the flash because it doesn't support .swf extension files and I can't host it on YouTube because they don't support that file type either. I'll figure out a way later.

Cloverfield

2008-01-29T13:47:00.000-08:00

(PG-13) A giant monster has attacked New York and is going on a rampage. This interrupts the "Going Away" party for the main protagonist (Whose name I do not Remember). Filmed by a guy named Hud on a mini-camera, the protagonist, Hud, and 2 other girls (forgot the names of them) going into the heart of New York to rescue his girlfriend and on the way they encounter many obstacles and problems which they must overcome.

...
...

I don't THINK I spoiled anything.

*Spoilers Below, Look At Your Own Risk*

I've seen this movie twice, once with my family, and another time with my friends, and I have loved it both times. I know there are some very unbelievable things that these people would do (but it wouldn't have made much of a movie if they did not). Like go up 50 so stories in one building and cross over on a section where the two floors have collided.......also carrying the camera through the movie.

At the end of the credits, there is a clip of sound that sounds like "it's still alive", and when it is reversed, it clearly says "it's still alive"....So that means it is GLaDOS from Portal (Sorry, I have to make at least 1 nerdy reference =P). Seriously though, when there was supposed to be a satellite falling at the end, when they were on the ferris wheel in Coney Island, I did not see it. Maybe our movie reels were messed up or something, but I looked and looked and looked the second time I saw it and did not see a thing.

Anyway, the sound clip could mean....CLOVERFIELD 2! =D....I hope, only if it is shot through regular cameras (shaky-cam didn't bother me, just don't want another one) and focuses on the monster instead of some random people.

Also this isn't what the monster looks like.

The First Ultimate Post

2008-01-28T17:20:00.000-08:00

This is the first ultimate post for the ultimate blog for ultimate people about ultimate stuff. So lets get started.

I just recently updated my PSP to the newest custom firmware, 3.80 M33-5. If some people are wondering (besides the font change), 3.80 I believe is the most recent PSP firmware update. The M33 part is a team of Russian (not making that up) hackers that have made a custom firmware for the PSP. Also someone named Dark_Alex is with them, but I read on his website that he was stopping for his own personal safety... So does he think Sony is going to hire a hitman to kill him? Wouldn't that be the story of the year. Anyway, the 5 at the end stands for Update #5 which fixes some bugs in the original custom firmware. The firmware though allows you to run unassigned .eboot files, which is what Sony's PSP uses to run programs. Such as things like PSP Radio, Emulators (an application that allows users to emulate something) for earlier game systems like the Super Nintendo or Playsation 1.
Remember though, emulators are 100% legal, however the games that you get to play for the emulators can be illegal and I do not endorse piracy and anything you do that gets you in trouble with the law has nothing to do with me.

I'll do a tutorial on how to do some hacks with the PSP, emulators for your computer, or anything else that you request that I know how to do later.
