Nintendo a little like Big Brother

Not necessarily on the controlling your minds and taking over the world, but on piracy and what you’re doing. Essentially in the new 3DS the game console logs all the cartridges you put into the 3DS. Even R4’s and acekards. Your 3DS ALWAYS has its wireless on. Oh dear. As Destructoid states Nintendo has already stated that it’ll brick any 3DS caught with illegal pirated games on it. Its as if everyone’s getting a kill switch these days… So beware pirates, there be a problem in ye mists.

What are you talking about. Me? Pirate? I do no such thing. *Sticks to DS lite cause he totally likes it better*

 

-Cause I’m just that bored.

Someone’s PC?

I never really understood this. Why not just say Bill? Why use “Someone’s PC”. I mean I think all of us by now know who this Bill guy is since we’ve met him in god knows how many generation of games…Are they doing it just for the heck of it? IS THERE A CONSPIRACY BEHIND THIS?! Ah Pokemon, you’re so weird.

-Cause I’m just that bored

I am not really that impressed.

I am actually unsure how many people are GENUINELY interested in watching and playing games in 3D. All I hear from reviewers and all is “ITS AMAZING” but what I hear from people and friends is: meh. To be honest I’m not all that impressed by the fact that you can view 3D without glasses. Its like saying I cured your fever in one day, please ignore the missing limb. Ok fine, that was a terrible comparison but THE POINT I’M TRYING TO GET ACROSS is that I prefer to view 3D images without the possibility of headaches or glasses. If you can do that THEN I’ll be impressed and jump onto the 3D bandwagon and ride it till infinity and beyond.

However, the only way I know of this is to use holograms. So. Nintendo. *nudge nudge*, supposedly at the frontier of awesome gaming and innovation, =D. If you don’t understand my small bits of subliminal messages: HoloDS. Make it. Now.

To you Nintendo People.

The 3DS finally made its début in Japan (only) a few days back. Apparently they had sold around 400,000 units but since all of them were too lazy to pick it up from the store they pre-ordered it and there barely was a line. SO, here’s the report on eyes melting and headaches and potential vomiting that took place.

None.

A guy from Kotaku actually played the 3DS (nintendo dogs) the whole day and surprisingly didn’t have his eyes fall out of their sockets. I’d find you the original post but 1. I couldn’t find it 2. I can’t be bothered and 3. Yeah yeah you found it shut it. It did however cause quite a bit of headache when you lost the sweet spot with the 3D effect on max, in which they recommend that you play it with the 3Dness turned down. You still get the awesomeness of a dog looking like its licking your eyes out but with less headaches. For all of those who will get one, get one and tell me how it is

I can’t be effed, I have but one love *stares at NGP and drools*

– Cause all in all, I prefer gaming on a Sony Platform. I’M SORRY APPLE.

Wii Dare

So this new game called Wii Dare out for the (duh) Wii is probably one of the more wtf topics these past weeks considering that its a game with sexual implications but only rated PG. What disturbs me is not the fact that it is a PG game (it does but I just think someone’s being stupid) but the meaning of the rating PG. Parental Guidance. So. If a group of 12 year old children wanted to play this game they’d have to have parents around to guide them about it? I…don’t want to know…

– Cause I’m just not that sleepy

Whoops

I’ve been late to post here so I’ll post about stuff here. Starting from the stuff I should’ve posted last year to the most recent thoughts.

NGP

What is this NGP? It’s Sony’s “PSP2” which is coming out THIS year. It looks bad ass. Now I’ve been hoping for a PSP upgrade for god knows how long now. Not one of those “oh hey we made the same thing just smaller, even more stupid and you can’t pirate games on it =D”. I kid, pirating is bad kids, don’t not do it. But what makes this thing so crazy is the specs that come with it.

Quad Core Processor
OLED 5″ touch screen
Dual Analog Sticks
Touch screen on the back
Accelerometer
Gyroscope
GPS/Wifi/3G Tech

These allow a whole range of possibilities for developers to create games of all kinds. The fact that it also boasts a GPU that can render PS3 graphics makes me cry tears of joy. I don’t like to comment on the different game developers who are starting to develop on this amazing console since this can change over time and I’d rather see the complete list when the device is nearly out. What I can say is that we do have a little bit of quality control since Sony will only give you the developer’s kit to you if you can give them a godknowshowmanypages essay on the game you’re gonna create. Here’s hoping for awesome awesome games that I can bring around in my pocket.

Light Peak

For those who do not know I recently bought a new Macbook Pro with the new Sandy Bridge CPU/GPU that Intel has so graciously provided Apple. Now what interests me most about this laptop is the “Thunderbolt” port. While this has little to do about gaming in reality it does somewhat factor into it. Light peak is a new piece of technology that does many wonderful things. First of all it transfers speeds up to 10GBPS which is 20 times faster than a USB 2.0 port. It’s multi-protocol which means it can be used for multiple applications, not only to transfer data. It’s bi directional. It can transfer in BOTH directions AT THE SAME TIME. Lastly, and probably the one thing I’ll play with the most, it works in a daisy chain. That means you can connect your pc to your printer, have a screen connected to your printer, a hard disk connected to your screen and have it all work flawlessly. AHHHHHH ITS SO BEAUTIFUL.

Yeah I know it has nothing to do with gaming but with such a technology I expect it to somehow factor into gaming, whether it be improvement in networks or improvement in those god damn loading screens we constantly see.

Tiny Wings

And I end this post with a “WTF?”. Tiny Wings is in my honest opinion the most kick ass addictive game on the app store as of yet. Kicking Angry Birds from its top spot as #1 (though for how long we don’t know) it’s a game in which there is ONE button but somehow remains awesome. I’ve realized I suck at explaining games so here’s a video for you to see.

So awesome ;-;

DC Universe Online: End Game.

Recently I watched a movie titled “End Game” for DC Universe Online and I was quite sorely disappointed. No, not because of the mechanics but because of the fact that it was all for the heros.

The First Dungeon (or alerts, whatever they call it):
Arkham Asylum. Mr. Freeze has taken it for himself and is trying to freeze over the whole place. We must fight through all the creatures he has created and stop him before he can freeze all the boilers and take over the Asylum!. Really. I mean c’mon. Why would villains want to stop this? Someone is creating chaos? PERFECT. Lets just leave them there and let them go insane. I mean isn’t that what we’re doing all over the world anyways? I don’t see in any way how this dungeon relates to the storyline of villains.

The Second Dungeon:
Some Electronic Factory. Some guy mad scientist used the joker’s gas or something (thats a lot of farting) and filled machines with them. So we must fight and put a stop to this! Again. WHY DO VILLAINS WANT TO STOP THIS!? I mean COME ON. What, Joker is mad for copyright infringement?! SERIOUSLY. If someone was using my gas to create the awesomeness of chaos then please, by all means, go ahead! Just give credit where its due and I’m sure the maniacal laughter erupting from machines will do that for me. WHY DO VILLAINS HAVE TO RAID HERE?! WHERE IS THE LOGIC?!

The Third Dungeon:
Uh, taking over some egyptian place? Some super hero gone mad? Hmm…I don’t know, I’d rather leave him to create eternal chaos. In many ways he might start trying to destroy the world but so that might be reason for villains to put a stop to him since…we’re kinda out of work the minute we don’t have a world to ruin. But still, I’d rather wait till the last minute cause, you know, villains love to procrastinate.

The Fourth Dungeon:
Batman’s Cave. YEAHHHHHHHHH THIS IS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT- Wait, taking it BACK for them?! OH CMON. Ok so this one is a little bit more logical since we’re making sure Braniac doesn’t have the power to control this super computer and use it to destroy the world and us villains or something. So you know, we have to save the world so we can destroy it later.

To be honest though I don’t like the fact that we’re saving the world to ruin it another day. I mean why aren’t we fighting Superman- wait he can’t die. Why aren’t we fighting Batman? Or causing some evil to happen? I mean we’re VILLAINS. We want to cause CHAOS. It feels like you cause chaos all the way up to the max level only to do good to save the world. Kind of an anti-climax in many ways.

Come on DC Universe, improve your freakin lore ~_~.

No I haven’t gotten the game but I’d so go for the villain’s side.

-Cause I’m Just That Bored.

Read above.

Super Meat/Tofu Boy

Peta has done a lot of things, none of them substantial. The last I heard about them they were asking famous women actors to pose naked in attempt to make men go vegan. It felt like paying for porn by not eating meat and well to be honest, that ain’t ever going to work.

Peta’s latest publicity stunt was to take  a game (an amazing one at that) called Super Meat Boy and make a parody called Super Tofu Boy. What gets me is the description provided for the game which is this (I felt like adding commentary to this description was appropriate, its in italics):

Meat Boy is a vengeful, bloody cube of rotting animal flesh (actually he’s a boy without skin but then again, both ARE kinda ew). And he smells (we get that from the rotting bit). After a short-lived fling with Bandage Girl (sympathy dates, really), he became enraged when he was dumped for the tasty (Wait what?) and satisfying (Oh god what do these guys do with tofu in their spare time?!) Tofu Boy. Once Bandage Girl slept with Tofu Boy and saw all that he had to offer (overall less protein, less taste and no bite to it), it was bye-bye beef, hello bean curd. Enraged by his loss and lack of ability to compete with the badass that is Tofu Boy (they probably misspelled meat, everyone does that), Meat Boy (Again, they meant tofu, its just so easy to typo) snapped and kidnapped Bandage Girl (oh dear)-because if he can’t have her, no one will.

To be honest, it feels like the person who wrote this first of all 1. Needs to get laid, and 2. Has trouble getting laid. I don’t know, the description is obviously used to try to piss someone off but instead he tries too hard. I don’t know aren’t parodies supposed to be a witty and amusing remake of an original game? The way this is written it sounds like he’s compensating for something (I’ll leave that to your imagination).

To be fair, I completely hate the taste of tofu so when they described him as “tasty and satisfying” I just remember the day I ate tofu and it made me throw up. Not a pleasant memory. Though seriously, tofu more tasty than meat? I really doubt that.

On a more humorous note, the creator of Super Meat Boy responded with a super tofu boy in his own game with the description:
Pro: Inflated Ego.
Con: Not actually as effective as he thinks he is.

And this joke:
How many PETA members does it take to change a lightbulb?….None cause PETA can’t change anything.

THAT is witty and a burn at the same time. LEARN FROM HIM PETA.

– Cause I’m just that…eww…tofu…

Gamers

I’d say there are two types of gamers in this world. One who plays for a brief entertainment in life and one who plays to escape life.

Which one are you?
