I went to a Baseball game last week

And we lost a 5 point lead. :(

I Spill Everything

And I hate it. Though I had fun watching Pyropuncher's stream yesterday.

Competitive Team Fortress Team

Finally got the whole team together, now we've got to start practicing. I'll write something about my experiences of getting the team together in another post if I'm not too lazy (I probably will be).

Also,

One of the stupidest threads of all time excluding anything on the Steam Forums. (IMHO)

Chest and Throat hurt

And I don't know why.

Also, I've almost finished assembling my Comp Team Fortress 2 team, we only need a demo, maybe a med, and some subs.

Really?

Apparently the Jackson Estate is forcing PopCap to remove the Michael Jackson zombie from Plants vs. Zombies which is probably a tie for the stupidest thing I've heard today.

This is retarded on so many levels.

Oh, and the other thing was this.

Grinding in Heart Gold

It takes forever. I wish that Lucky Eggs weren't so rare.

Accepted

Machinima Respawn has accepted my submission. Also, I'm out of milk.

EDIT: Still waiting for them to post it. (July 12, 2010)

EDIT: Apparently it hasn't been accepted. Oh well, always a chance to try again.

RIP 3 Scrap

My attempts to fabricate a Golden Wrench resulted in the disappearance of 3 scrap metal. In other news, Lays chips are good.

Reset

Had to restore my computer to factory state for at least the second time this year. Luckily, I was able to back up my Firefox bookmarks.

Elite Four Defeated

Thanks to the power of spamming items.

Mass Effect

I bought Mass Effect 1 + 2 last Saturday. I liked both of them, though the combat in the first game was pretty unbalanced. Miranda was the only one that died in Mass Effect 2 (You will not be mourned.)

Are you sure about that Valve?

According to the dentist, I need to brush my teeth better. Also, I saw Toy Story 3. I enjoyed it.

What this?

I'm trying to render a clip I want to post on Youtube, but Source Recorder is giving me trouble (and AIDS).

Played through it with a friend. It needs some polish, but it's still a great campaign. I might post a review or some videos of it.*

Frags of our Fathers

I completed my challenge where I play almost nothing but pyro (with about 1 hour total of other classes) until I get the Pyromancer achievement. Now I'm doing the same with the Frags of our Fathers achievement.

PS: I totaled about 80 hours as pyro.

Foreign Legion: Buckets of Blood Review

Genre: Third Person Shooter
Platform: PC
Developer: Sakari Indie
Publisher: Sakari Indie
Price: $7

Foreign Legion: Buckets of Blood is cartoon-ish thirdperson shooter for PC
and is the first game from Sakari Indie. There's no story, but the outline is that you're a legionnare fighting a horde of rebels for unexplained reasons. Graphics are good for indie game, though the blood and explosion effects could use
some work.

Music isn't annoying, but it's nothing special. Sound effects are OK, but like the music aren't anything note worthy and sound a bit cheap. One thing that did annoy me though was the buzzing noise when enemies get near an objective. Maps are fairly open so it's not like it's hard to see that your objective is getting bombed.





















Above: 2 of the 3 enemy types

So now for gameplay. Gameplay works like you'd expect it would. Click to shoot, right click to zoom, space to jump and WASD to move. All of the levels are either defense or survival with one joke mission that involves a massacre of chickens. For each kill you get XP to level up. When you level up, you can buy new guns and clothes with money you get for killing and completing missions. While the XP and money system could've added some extra replay value, you can reach the cap and get everything in about 3 hours, which is still longer than the game which you can beat in about 1 or 2 hours. While the game is fun, it is a bit short and gets repetitive.

My main problem with this game is the length, I unlocked everything and got almost all of the achievements in about 3 hours. The shooting mechanics are good, but there just isn't a lot of content. There are a few other flaws like the camera and sometimes buggy headshot detection, but the main flaws are that it's too short and too easy. Supposedly they're working on a multiplayer update, but the last time they posted on their blog was February 19, 2010.





















Overall it's not a bad game, I thought the shooting mechanics felt right and the graphics were decent, but there isn't enough length or variety. Still, it's only $7, so if you have a little extra money laying around, you might as well give this game a try.


PROS


-Decent graphics
-Simple but well designed shooting mechanics
-Leaderboards
-Giant Chicken



Cons

-Short
-Mediocre sound effects
-Camera takes some getting used to
-Lack of enemy variety
-Too easy



Score: 7.3/10

YOU FAILED

Why Valve?

I bought Foreign Legion: Buckets of Blood. Pretty short, but it was worth $7. I'll probably review it soon.

No Country For Old Men

Watched No Country for Old Men. Great movie, not going to review it though. Also, that Anton guy is creepy (obvious.)

I'm planning on watching a movie everyday for the next 4 days.

I was unsure about Portal 2, I was afraid that too many old tricks would be re-used and it wouldn't be as fresh, but after reading the new Game Informer coverage, I'm glad that it's shaping up nicely with new features and items for Valve to create interesting puzzles with.

Supreme Commander 2 Demo

One day, I noticed Steam had just released a Supreme Commander 2 demo, having never played the first game, but having heard good things about it, I downloaded. So far, I like the game even though I'm awful at it. The graphics look great with everything on high and AA at 4. I'm considering getting it with the money I get from selling my Xbox 360.

Hello.

This is my blog. I don't know what I'll do with it, but yeah... probably reviews and gameplay videos.
