Also, isn't Kratos cute? I 'm a bit meh about the Nariko one though. Now if they can only put out a Nathan Drake and the whole cast of MGS sackboyz and sackgurls. 3 Comments
In an effort to further cut costs, Sony Computer Entertainment plans to further its influence in India. The company is transferring tech from its London studio to India and will also train local developers to balance costly dev costs. Says Sony's Atindriya Bose:
The future of the Indian game development market will depend on the quality of the game developers who are starting at a zero base.
The Indian subsidiary also has a PS2 game software manufacturing facility that it makes available to other publishers looking to release games on the Indian subcontinent at local price points, and Sony even earns royalities on these games as well.
-o-
Nice! Now if I could only get to meet multiple people from India that like videogames and would like to participate in some sorta of way, shape or form in the industry... and give me the heads up on when MGX comes out. :D 5 Comments
Ok, I read the Kotaku article. I read what he said Itagaki. I'm writing this just to say that I don't care that bashing on Devil May Cry, specially cause even though I enjoy hacking and slashing demons... their is little to gain in a game with no substance and just style; with a weak story, no relatable character, playoff cliché and the same plot over and over again. Hmmm, kinda like Ninja Gaiden, no?
I also wont mentioned sluggish and annoying it is to see him ridding Microsoft's **** every single time he opens his mouth, or the fact that as soon as he lands that dev. house deal with MS he will basically be known as MS's bitch from then on out.
What I will not stand idly by and let go by is him talking trash about Okami. Who the hell do you think you are you indoor shades wearing freak?! With what authority.. I'm sorry, let me rephrase that: With what balls and nerves do you come out saying Okami has not much spirit? Oh I'm sorry Mr. Cookie cutter-cliché abuser man. Its not like Okami is unique in its genre or the fact that it was considered by many as a possible threat at a Zelda danger level. And now this ignorant comes to give his unwelcomed opinion on a genre and sublime theme that doesn't involve breast bouncing or cutting the same demon for 10 minutes over various releases of the same game.
OH COME ON! Give me a friggin break.
Also, I love MGS... but please, I mean why not slap a "5 our of 7 pedophiles prefer us" sticker to these products and get it over with. Its getting way way to creepy. This and the pillow with boobs is just... :S. Although that's just me.
"Two thumbs up" say 5 out of 7 pedophiles in Japan
OK, officially I've become a hardcore fan of Saints Row's marketing strategy. This is exactly or a very close aproximation of what I and I asume many felt when Jade Raymond tipy toed onto the video game scene.
This officially all that was wrong when they (Ubisoft) started prading Jade Raymond more then Assassin's Creed itself. You know I'm right. I love this new approach of games making fun of the stupid features that other games include in them. It could be humoristic playing all puns like Battlefield: Bad Company or the staright to the core this is what you think you were doing right but is actually BS like what Saints Row is doing. I might just have to get this game.
By the way, I think Ubisoft would have sold more copies of AC and would have been less sleazy if they had gone with Tera Patrick from the start. No little "trying to play us for a fool" shenanigans that felt like they were probably disrespecting gamers by thinking that all we are is just horny nerds and so they could gets away with that scotch free; plus Tera Patrick is like 10x hotter then Jade Raymond. Did you watch the vid? Daaaaamn!! 5 Comments
I'm trying to keep up with the gaming news, so bare with me.
So basically now I just got a hold of this
Various localities with news available through LIFE.LIFE with Playstation deal. It seems really cool, like an interactive CNN of some sorts, although better then CNN since it's headlines and news are indegenous to the regions you select... so unlike CNN or other mayor international news corportations, it won't get tampered with. That's is atleast what I got from reading the Kotaku article.
Managing LIFE with the PS3This and HOME and other stuff looks so promising. I know people playing games might think that PS3 is just trying to be a PC and that Xbox is where it's at, but I ask if PS3 is trying to be another PC then why haven't PC's done all this already? I mean it's even more upgradable then a PS3 and many of it's components run on a higer levels then the ones on a PS3. I'm really not a fanboy of nothing, well except maybe Anime (which is not stupid you closed minded people) but I could see why so many people would defend Sony. Come to realize it, MS must know something is going on with what Sony's HOME and apps like this are going to do, otherwise they would have not tipped their Avatar hand so early. It's kinda like how they launched the X360 a year before the Wii and the PS3, they were trying to build a or the "next gen" market and dominate it with an early start. Which sort of worked, but I don't think they counted with the Wii becoming what it did and the PS3 starting to ramp up just becuase of MGS4.
Leaving trivialities aside... each time I see one of these apps on consoles, I feel like their should be some sort of Minority Report gloves to control like the rotation of the planet in LIFE with Playstation; or atleast make that infrared Wii technology available in some shape or form for the PS3.
PlayTV DVR deviceI wonder if that can be done with Blootooth technology. I don't think so but they are already putting out additional tech to the PS3 like that DVR device, so a Infrared receptor like the Wii's could be seen in the future. That and the 3D videos project they want to put in the PS3. By the way that DVR thing was supposed to come out by Q407 - Q108. WHERE THE HELL IS THAT THING?! I really don't want to get a $300+ Location Free Player or a TiVo for that matter if one device can handle all that. Physical space is getting troublesome for us average Joes.
Anywho, I'm really impressed with all of this coming out of the E3 season. For some reason the games didn't call my attention, but the future for the consoles is looking very bright. Now if Sony could just put out some kind of planetarium app and so that you can control it with your hands as you move through the 360º skies, I really want to be able to see the stars and connect the dots to see how these people who named the constellations where able to see those figures in the sky, becuase Ursa Mayor... pretty much looks like a soup kitchen spoon to me.
Hey everybody. Just letting you know I have one of those playlist doo.hikeys on my blog and now you can have a first hand look on what makes me so strange.
Don't worry, that just up to the M artitsts in my PC's playlist, and many songs on my personal playlist where superhard to find or I couldn't find them at all. Oh well. More to come in the future. Thanks to The Ruckus and Mr. Pancreatic_Juice who helped me out with the intriquest process... you have to be some kind of magician to pull off all that vodoo magic.
Wow, it has been a week since I lost control of my life and sleep. Its 5:22 AM and I've been on the PC since midnoon of Sunday. This site really better be worth it. Just kidding! Course its worth it, specially while editing hering the Snoop Dog & G-Unit Remix of P.I.M.P. I really wish I coul get to those thousand point faster, some people only has two days and they were about 3000+ points. If some y'all can give me some good pointers, that would be swell. Can you get point from writing reviews? I just wanna get to that thousand points mark, and if someone has some sort of weird competition fetish going on then I might be willing to get in some group action.
That reall sounds weird whe I read it outloud :S
By the way Happy 28th of July to all citizens of Peru around the globe. I'll give you a tip if you love good eating. Call the Peruvian embassy or a Peruvian family raised friend and ask where the reunion of Peruvians for the Indepence Day celebration (July 28... today!) is going to take place. Go there with cash cause you're gonna need it. Now, with the following dishes I'll mention YOU CAN'T GO WRONG AND MUST TRY:
(The "i" is not pronounced like "eye", rather like in the word "Wiki") (The "c" is pronounced as a "k") (The "h" is pronounce as a "w")
(Foods with an "S" at the end are sweet) (Foods with an "M" at the end are main course or side dish meals... depends on perpective) (Foods with an "E" at the end are for Everybody and vegan friendly, dough! Unless you have diabetes or some other illness)
WARNING: Not all but some main course may have like Chile or a pepper like plant that makes it spicy. Always ask if it has "Ají" which is code word for a vegetable that makes stuff hot on the tongue... if you really don't like hot food and you hear the word "Roccoto" then run away from that food. So remember, if you don't like your tongue to be burning ask if the meal has Aji or Roccoto and then ask for it or not to be cooked with it or to be taken out. Everything should be alright and the meal will still taste very good (well depending on your own taste... oh and Red Pepers don't count since those don't burn)

Any meal that says anywhere or where they sell it to you, that it is from the Norte or Norteño style c ooked. (Norte means "North" and Norteño means "from the North"; the North of Peru has the best food or basically the same food as other places but cooked better.)
Thats all I can really muster for now, I kinda have some sleep deprevation here. I'll try to update with images for each thing I mentioned. Oh and don't be afraid to try new things, they may look weird, in comparison to whatever you eat in you every day life, but in reality many are very very tasty... just eat with moderation.
I've gone up 100 points within the hour and at a very fast pace, I know they are all working hard approving/rejecting/moderating the whole site. Just wanted to show some gratitude and keep up the great work guys.
Giant bomb, each day that passes, becomes a more and more well oiled machine. I see great things in Giant Bomb's future if they keep placing so much dedication and love for anything they should do from here on out... as they are doing right now. :D
Yup, check my out my "Pending Subs" page, I've been hard at work... in a job that doesn't pay. Hmm, where the heck is that crying emoticon. Still long ways to go. Still many concept and character pages to be made and others to be edited.
I'll go take a nap now and dream at least some of my subs. have fallen into good and gentle moderating hands.
This site's potential is so big I can't even start thinking of what they'll be adding in the future. Either way it will all be good. I have a new place I want to work one day... GIANT BOMB!!
Great job Jeff, Ryan, Brad and Vinny and the dudes upstairs, that cool Retriewver upstairs (Bomb-Dog) and of course the interns who I am already plotting against in an elaborate Coup D' Etat and get my own table and chair in the Bomb Shelter. I hope by the time I get at least an interview they will not have moved up but have drilled their way even further into a Batcave-esque scene. Oh! Sliding polls to reach the lower levels! :D
This place does need emoticons though. Other then that it's great.
