Kind of crazy

Had this on the back burner for a while, but I decided to just go ahead and post it.

Here’s a quick video highlight of how Eye of Judgment works on a technical level. Pretty seamless overall, however the gameplay ultimately leaves something to be desired unless you’re playing with someone else.

Let’s see here, I’m up early, there’s a kettle whistling on the stove, I’m sitting in front of the computer writing.

Must be another year come and gone, and me wondering where it went.



Comic to movie

WANTED was a great book about supervillains that run the world and keep us in the dark about the real truth of our existence.

WANTED the movie on the other hand, appears to be about a secret society of assassins that run the world and keep us in the dark about the real truth of our existence.

At first glance, they seem similar, but the comic had a great edge to it that the trailer lacks.  In the comic, the main character is a villain.  There’s no greater good to his actions.  There’s a progression in his character reminiscent of Tyler Durden’s rise in Fight Club.

In the trailer, it just feels like another action movie.

We’ll see.

Right now, I’m just amazed at the amount of planning that has to be done for a wedding*, and glad that I’m going to sleep at a relatively decent hour.

The appeal of Rock Band

Rock Band, appeals because of its cooperative gameplay.  You can play just one instrument, but that isn’t the point.  In all, it is when you are in a room with three other people, performing a song is where the game truly comes into its core experience.

Yeah, we rocked out again tonight.

I’m hoping for groupies at some point.



Rocking out on a Friday night

Too busy playing Rock Band to get a proper post up.

Seriously.



Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune

FACT: Joss Whedon is currently reimagining Indiana Jones, starring Nathan Fillion in the starring role!

No, not really. But if there was a movie with the above concept, then Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune would be the videogame adaptation of that movie.

Circuitious introduction aside, when I first saw previews of Uncharted, I blew it off as a Tomb Raider clone with a male protagonist. Granted, the previews were all based on a very early build of the title that even Naughty Dog (the developers) admit was shown too early. I lost interest and it fell off my radar, as many games do.

I didn’t think about it again until the demo showed up on the PSN Store on the PS3.

I watched the first cutscene and I was hooked. After playing it, I was sold. In fact, I went out and bought it on release day. (more…)
