On Hold

And I am back, but only for a brief second. This post is just to let anyone who still views this know that I am currently putting all reviews on hold... This is mainly because I am now working part time in a morning shift before school. This means I have to go to bed at around 5pm every night so I have enough energy for constant heavy lifting. Also, it's coming up to the end of the semester for me and I have ISU's and projects which need attending to and finishing. But fortunately, the end of the semester is very near, and once my school is finished, I will have alot more time to play all the crappy and great games and do reviews.

Another Day, Another Golden Sun

Welcome back loyal viewers, and I say loyal cause you must be to keep checking back. But before I post this review, I must give a little insight on what it took to make;

1) I spent 2 full days on this. This is mainly because every time I rendered the video, something screwed up. This varied from it moving clips around, to spacing clips to not even rendering parts of the fucking video. I also uploaded one good version, but it was choppy and it pissed me off so I took it down.

2) I broke a monitor making this. I was so pissed it wasn't even funny.


but, i'm sure your here to watch it, right? Well here you go!

A chemical stick taped to a bottle of gas for fireworks?

Well hello once again. I'm sure your wondering how I go from barely posting, to posting twice in a row like this. Well truth be told I'm bored out of my mind, and I thought i'd share, what looks like, will be one of the best games of this decade. And no, this is not a review.

The game im refering to is Alone in the Dark, which seems to have one of the best concepts for a game that i'v seen in a very very long time. This game has it all, strategy, graphics and some awesome idea's which I can only describe as "I never thought I could make my enemy into an actual bomb!".

The game has something which is very new to video games, and that is a real-time inventory. I'm pretty sure this, obviously, has already been done, but they seemed to take this to the next level. Your inventory is actually your trench coat, which he opens, and you get to select what you want to do. There are obviously going to be limits on what you can and cannot do. Like I doubt you could tape a chemical stick to a bottle of gas, put tape on that, cut it open, throw it so it sticks to a monster, light the stream of gas on fire, and blow everything up and create fireworks. This video will give you a really awesome idea of what to expect though;

Through all odds, I perservered!

Welcome one and all to yet another post by yours truly. Now before I get into this post, the reason i'v barely been posting is simple. End of school year and Call Of Duty 4. Because of my communications technology class, much of my computer time is being donated to a heavily time-based project. The only way I can even hand this assignment in, is if I get authorization from Activision allowing me to use game clips. But enough of that, after all, your here to read a game review, right?


WRONG!!!!!one11one!11one!1!

You see, I FINALLY got around to my promise to myself... I actually finished my folklore video review! I'll be the first to admit, the script for it sucks, as it was a pain in the ass to even try and record it in the first place. And when it comes to me reviewing.. well let's just say I don't have the most exstatic voice. But it is up.

I was in the midt of uploading it to youtube, and I started to smell something..... very wrong. This smell, in turn, was my videocard on my computer. My videocard had started overheating, and in turn let off the smell of burning plastic. When I took my videocard to check it out, the fan had actually melted and my computer would no longer work... At this point I figured god hated me, because I had finally got through all the problems and got it together... and my computer died. FORTUNATLY, my dad was able to connect a fan over the heatsinc and my computer was revived.

But with no further adue, I give you MY FOLKLORE VIDEO REVIEW!!

I hate this crap

Well as you can see, I am still in the land of the living, I havent passed into the netherworld yet. I'v been busting my ass trying to get my videoreview up for folklore, and it's causing alot of problems with files not being compatible with my editing program, and I am currently in the stages of trying to fix this. I'll hopefully have it posted up this coming weekend.
