World of Microcraft
By tekmojo 9 Comments
In the ever-evolving age of MMO games, and the constant struggle to play catch up with one another, even Blizzard's mammoth franchise may consider re-thinking its business strategy. There are talks about World of Warcraft shifting from subscription based services to microtransactions in the future. Impossible? Some say they are happy where they are, and no doubt are yielding in major profits. Others say success from other games may be pushing them to make adjustments. The more casual free 2 play MMOs, Free Realms (Sony Online Entertainment), gained ~3 million people in under 2 months.
June was not kind to entertainment

Try to keep it short, so I'll break it down in bulleted fashion. Morale of the story, it has been a strange month. (Not in any particular order)
- Michael Jackson was the man. Back in the day, all the cool kids in P.E. locker rooms used to moonwalk in their socks, in attempt to be as good as the orignal moonwalker. The game was great, I remember one of my friends in highschool used to quote the save a kid line, "Michael," exactly how it sounded when you played it on your genesis ( emulator for non-owners). Made me laugh everytime. Sad news, but you know MJ's legacy will live on.
- Billy Mays the man with the hands. You put anything in those hands, it sells. Not enough you can say about the man, but his life was robbed way too early. I hope something special comes with Pitchmen series. I'm sure they will pay dear tribute to him.
- Now onto gaming related issues. My brother's xbox got the 3 rings. He plays the heck out of that thing, so I know how upset he is. Only thing you can do is deal with the Microsoft customer service and send it in for repairs. This will be his second time getting it fixed, the first was due to a disc drive failure. In the meantime, I'm showing him a bunch of cool PC games to check out, and he's getting ready to do the ol' PC upgrade. It's getting close for me too.
- I figured that the June reaper wouldn't come by my door. It did, but on a much less severe level. Yesterday, I turned on my PS3, I wanted to play a little Red Faction: Guerilla. Unfortunately, when I crossed over to my game library, the little disc icon didn't show up. I did the usual, eject disc put back in, restart, turn off, etc. When none of that worked, I swapped out the disc for another game. When that didn't read either, I started jumping to conclusions. Oh shit, PS3 what is wrong with you don't you die on me!

Can't complain about E3..

Because I've never been to one. Reading and watching coverage is awesome, but it's the sitting at home part that bothers me.
UFC Undisputed this week :)

Ok so I've been playing the demo over and over, practicing every little strike, and getting demolished in the wrestling department. But I'm getting better, atleast that's what I'm telling myself. I have waited not so patiently for this game to come out for a long time. And as a UFC fan, I can finally become the star, create my own fighter and knock some skulls around. It has more than enough to satisfy my urge for maturity and MMA culture. Just hope the online mode is lag free with no drawbacks in gameplay.
Ok since my brother doesn't go to a site like this...

I asked him if I could use his xbox gamertag to represent on GB. I mean I play it so much and have been earning so many achievements for him in the past, I figured it would be ok to do. Wanted to document this so that credit is rightfully given!
Duke Nukem Forever, Still Crawling?

Hope so, some forms of it looks playable, atleast it seemed that way from the leaks. It's more of a miracle if anything at this point! But I still think it's possible!
L4D on Steam is downloading now...

So I've finally decided to get Left 4 Dead, mostly because of the 40% reduction in price this weekend. I didn't participate in the Freaky Friday gimmick because I've played the game tons on the 360 before hand. Pretty much this was an investment, as in I don't think I'll play this game too much right away, but I plan on watching what Valve does with it in the future. Hopefully the community is still kicking strong, and maybe they're a few mods out there worth messing around with. Who knows maybe I'll even get back to my old passion for mapping.
RE: Sale of used games a problem?
By tekmojo 1 Comments
Absolutely not. Used games are a step up from renting. I don't like renting because what if u want to play that game again in the future. Atleast with a discounted video game, you have a chance of selling it to a friend or letting a friend borrow it without too many worries.
