Yes,

I pulled out this "old" classic today and played the single player campaign, something I haven't done in ages. I lately played more old games, especially old adventures like Sam 'n Max "hit the road", Full Throttle and Monkey Island 3 "The curse of Monkey Island" but even Kings Quest VI are games I now and then check back into, SCUMMVM makes this possible.. mostly.

Anyway, I played warcraft III "reign of chaos" and realized AGAIN how awesome it is to play games you haven't played for a long while but still were the talk of the month/year back at it's release date. The quality of these games are just absurd but I also realized that if you look at a current game people mostly first look at the graphics instead of gameplay. My point is, these games can compete with some games on todays market with quality and design without looking at the graphics (But to be honest, those old adventures have a truely unique graphic style.

It's just funny how some people would say when I play DotT "Dude that was/is an awesome game, rememeber this and that" or the complete oposite like "Why would you bother with such an old ugly looking game". I guess the difference is where "new" gamers have no sense of history when it comes to the game industry and have no respect for what came out years ago. In my opinion these people should be locked up in a room and start with some of the first games on the amiga and atari go all the way to current consoles/pc/mac games and then talk again.

Oh well, I guess I just realized how happy I am my father had a amiga with shit loads of games when I grew up and I have played these games.

Lucas Arts should have never canceled some of their new adventure games or sold them for epesodic content. Because it is cool in a way but a good adventure game needs to be big, long and frustrating at some points for me. All they do now is StarWars... yay.


KABOOOOOM... ehh. The end of today's post.

Hey people!

This will be my first blog post on GB and I doubt a lot or even IF someone will read this but I'll write it anyway. Everyday the first thing I do is log into GB.com to check out new posts, video's, blogs or whatnot. I'm very satisfied with the way things are going around here and I hope it will stay this way.

Probably like a lot of people I was a very active GameSpot user and I must admit I check the site daily for new updates or old video's I want to see. However today I made my final decision I will not EVER go there again. The fact that they control posts makes me angry, you cannot express what you want to say about a game, even if it has very little to do with the movie you are posting on. Gamespot editors are boring and take gaming way to serious. Gaming is supposed to be fun we are supposed to enjoy ourselves and joke/laugh when it comes to this. Like the booty preview and alot of video's on GB are just real, something that will never  (happen) again on Gamespot. I remember a year or 2 ago GameSpot was huge becuase of the editors, they did an awesome job reviewing, joking and making E3 video's worth watching.

Let's say NO a site like GameSpot, say NO because we have a right to speak and express, say NO because gaming is supposed to be a social and FUN thing not a job that you have to take very serious and feel like you cannot joke or express yourself because then you are "the kid".

Oh well, I guess that's what I wanted to say.. Just got really pissed at GameSpot today and not going there again!

Thank you GiantBomb people, not only jeff, ryan, brad and vinny but all of the people behind this site... THANK YOU for freeing gamers and the way they want to gather information and discuss about games.

Oh and btw, sorry I had to use the word GameSpot so much. Don't wanna make the site that dirty.
