Sorry I haven’t written more this week but right now I have a night gig, in addition to my day gig, where I’m supposed to install a server, set up network storage and allow any user to authenticate from any machine but I’ve run into a hitch: users can’t login.
Oh yeah, also, I’ve never done this before and I know nothing about network administration.
(How I ended up with this gig is for another post.)
Therefore I’m quickly steering ya towards something that caught my eye. Have you ever heard of Scott Pilgrim? It’s a comic series I’ve been aware of but know nothing about (my theme of the week).
It’s Edgar Wright directing so it has a ton of potential but that trailer… but maybe I’m wrong. My buddy Pat used to always say, “terrible trailer = great movie.”
Now before you start asking “when the hell did this turn into a video game blog” I should mention a few things. First, the PS3 is my first game system since the original NES so I’m going through my “infatuation” stage. Second, I’m writing like crazy but can’t really share what I’m writing so there isn’t much to blog abut there. Third, I’ve been working so many hours at both my jobs, on my freelance career, my feature, my web series and my writing that the blogging has taken a bit of a back seat. I’m sorry about that. I’m struggling to get ahead of the curve and feel like I’m failing but I think that’s what struggle is supposed to feel like.
Suddenly I don’t feel so bad about my turn as a shut-in trying to level up my BORDERLANDS characters. And once I get hooked on GOD OF WAR 3 it’s over. Damn you PS3! I love/hate you so much.
In lieu of a traditional paper invite, this couple had an 8-bit video game wedding invitation created for them. Recipients/players have to clear all the stages in order to see all the pertinent wedding information.
Yeah, I’m addicted to BORDERLANDS. I play it at home, I play it online, I’ve downloaded both Zombie Island (and beat it) and Moxxi’s Underdome (looking for an online buddy to tackle this with me).
So you can imagine my excitement when I saw that the latest DLC is being released today. Say “hello” to General Knoxx.
Being stuck home sick while having to execute renders that range from 17 minutes to 26 hours gives one a pretty good excuse to waste a lot of time on the PS3.
For most of you, PORTAL was an “also includes” when you bought HALF-LIFE 2. When my buddy (and soon to be “hot s#!t” screenwriter) Jeremy let me borrow it, he said it’s like “Radiohead but as a video game.”
Naturally, I was skeptical. I play the puzzle shooter and found it fun. Once the puzzles got loopy, the game really got more interesting. And then once you think you’re done it kicks into this other place that’s pretty f**king cool. Yeah, I’m with Jeremy, I loved this game.
I should also mention that my buddy Sean, the one that got me hooked on BORDERLANDS, also let me borrow SPIDER-MAN: WEB OF SHADOWS and while it was fun web-slinging around Manhattan I found the narrative and missions too repetitive to recommend this game.
