I am not dead

Just wanted to let everyone know I am not dead. I have been slacking on my posting duties because of all my...research on black ops.

*shifty eyes*

Now that I have completed the story and fully understand the Multiplayer, I think I can give it a great review...

Which may or may not be posted later today.

lolz

I love you all.

Regh out.

Back again. Unfortunately.

I hope everyone had a sweet Thanksgiving. I know mine was super awesome because it was spent with my beautiful girlfriend, Rennnn. Unfortunately however, I am back in my home town and I start back my classes tomorrow 8:30 am sharp. So no real post tonight. I do have a few stories to recap from my trip. But that can wait until tomorrow.

But I do have one question...WHY IS STRING CHEESE SO DAMN GOOD???

That is a mystery that will baffle me forever.

In other news, I got to play a few games during my vacation so expect a review for them. In the up coming month or so I plan on reviewing Black Ops (before christmas), Monster Rancher 2, various iPhone/Droid games, and possibly Parasite Eve 1 and 2. This is assuming my ADD ass don't forget about this. Yeah.

Regh out.

p.s.

Oh Snap: 360 overheat temp fix.

So I only have a few hours before I land and I get to see my beautiful girlfriend, Rennnn. Not Sure what the TSA is going to do to me. But oh well. That isn't why I am posting right now!

I am posting because I found a way to prevent a Xbox 360 from over heating while it is Horizontal! So lemme tell you how I discovered this...

So I was playing Modern Warfare 2 last night (yeah I know, not Black Ops, I am a loser. I plan on getting that after google pays me dammit!) and suddenly my Xbox over heated! At first I was scared because I saw red lights coming from my 360. I instantly jumped up and unplugged it from the power pack. Waited for awhile and then plugged it back in. The 360 told me that it over heated. So I shrugged it off, let it cool down and then jumped back in only to have it happen again. Now, with my minor knowledge in computers (and ventilation) told me that obviously the 360 wasn't getting enough air to the innards. So I left it on and searched around for the areas where the air was being vented. What I found out pissed me off...a lot. You know the little holes all along the top and bottom of the sides of the Xbox? Well that is where most of the venting takes place. Now why would the put ventilation holes on the bottom when they know most people are going to run the 360 while it is on it's horizontal.

Look. Vents on the Bottom and
Rubber raisers(?)

So the only solution would be to stand the 360 up vertically. Unfortunately for me, my entertainment center does not allow me to do this and I don't want my big ass 360 sitting out and about. So why would Microsoft make a faulty air vent? Obviously because they are money grubbing bastards. Aside from that though, I came up with a solution.

It's kinda like recycling

It is cheap and easy to do too! Basically, all you do is take 4 caps from water bottles or pop (soda, cola, coke, etc.) just make sure they are all the same size. Then put then under the xbox on the four rubber points that are supposed to lift the horizontal 360 up off the surface. This will greatly increase the air flow thus not allowing your 360 to overheat. Easy fix right? Now this probably won't work forever. But what do I care. With Crummy customer control and the prices going up on live, after this 360 croaks I am done with Xbox. All PS3 all the way.

That is all.

Regh out.

Life and times (non-review)

This is one of those post I posts when I am in deep thought about things. Yet really I am not thinking about too much. Just mainly about my flight out to see my lovely girlfriend Rennnn (be sure to check out her art blog) and the TSA Scan/physical I will be receiving from the wonderful TSA agents. I am really okay with receiving both. I don't care if the person behind the desk at the scanner gets an eye full of junk. Then if I don't pass that, I don't care if the inspector feels me up. I am going to make a dick comment like "shouldn't you buy me dinner first?" or something assy like that. Which may get my balls destroyed...Maybe I will rethink that half...

It is really hard to stay on topic here because I am watching The Daily Show and Jon Stewart is tearing Glen Beck a new one and it is causing me to laugh my balls off. Recomposing self now.

So where do I go from here? I mean I guess I could just start typing and see where that takes me. It has been awhile since I have done something like that. But that is hard to do when you are half asleep and don't really have a topic/anything to discuss. Uhh. Wendy's commercial just came on again...those damn nuggets look so good. OH I also want to see that new show Brew Masters. Why? Because I do enjoy the taste of beer. I like trying different beers, no matter how bad they taste (Dirty Bastard) or college kids dream (PBR!). Some meals just need a beer. Hot wings and a Beer. Amazing.

Well that was a wild ass and random tangent...I think I am going to go play some more diablo two. Because I am cool like that.

Regh Out.

P.S. BEST. TRICK PLAY. EVER.

Broken Promise = Game Review (Wolfenstein RPG)

Yeah yeah, I know. I haven't posted anything in awhile. I am cool with that. LOLS. I have just been getting a case of the lay-z's now that my second semester has started. I haven't had any homework yet so I have been taking this time to party...and play video games that I have not really had time for. Thus, making it so I can create more reviews for this Video Game/nonsense blog.

Moving on, at first glance you may notice something about this post. It is not my review on bad driving. But instead, Today I am putting in my two cents about an amazing game I played for the iPod Touch (also available on any iDevice including the iDouche) and (after some google searching) available on some Cellular Phones.

WOLFENSTEIN RPG

While I was cruising through the "app market" on my iPod touch, I came across a game with a familiar title. But one thing about it threw me off. It said Wolfenstein RPG. This made me WTF so I clicked on it. Then I went to google and started doing some wicked mad research on what this game was. According to all the websites I went to, it was a pretty decent play. Of course, I downloaded it.

I instantly fell in love with it because Wolfenstein is my favorite Nazi shooter ever...don't look at me that way, Call of Duty Zombies doesn't count as a Nazi Shooter because they are Nazi Zombies. Jeez. The graphics were slightly different. But I was cool with it because the...

Gameplay

for the game was rock solid. Basically, every move you make in the game is a turn. Based off that statement, if you turn in place, you don't use a turn. Move Forward, Back, Side to Side, or make an action you use a turn. For some reason, most of your enemies are able to make an attack then side step out of the way, I never figured out if your character can do that too...but either way Oh well. To add a buff feature to the game, throughout every level there are syringes and syringe making machines where you mix colors to create different types of syringes. What the syringes do are buff your character in different ways. Such as doing 100% more damage or moving at 50% your normal speed (which I think just gave you an extra action on your attack...). You will be healing yourself A FUCKING LOT. So don't go skimpy on your Medpacks or Chocolate Num Num bars. Yes. There are items in the game called Chocolate Num Num Bars. You will also find yourself kicking the crap out of chickens in this game. Why? Because Kicking causes the chicken to go flying and doesn't use any ammo and the Chicken (once dead) turns into a one time healing item. Making everyone a winner.

What other games has Nazis and Chicken in an RPG package?

OH! I guess I should explain the way  weapons work. Like I said when you make an action, that is your turn. That can be anything from healing, Buffing, or (what I am about to talk about) attacking. When it is your turn, you choose what weapon you want to use. Some weapons work better against different enemies. After selecting your weapon, you tap the screen to use it (on the iPhone/iTouch versions). Depending on which weapon you chose, you will shoot only the number of times that weapon allows you to shoot per turn. Most of you are probably now all "wait what?" Let me give you an example to better show what I am talking about.  A Nazi guard jumps out in front of you. You have your knuckles equiped but he kicks you away. Now, obviously the knuckles are a close range weapon. So you switch to...idk...your double pistols. You tap the screen and your character shoots twice (one from each pistol). Now, same situation, except this time you use the Thompson. Unlike the Pistols, The Thompson shoots three times. If it hits each of the three times, you do more damage. Every weapon has a specific number of times it can be shot per turn and you can only target one enemy at a time (because the layout is classic Wolfenstein style).

On top of all buffs and stuff. There are also extra buffing (or in some cases, debuffing) from reading books you find throughout the game. They never really do anything good for you because by the time you find them you have killed off most of the enemies in the area, but some will give you a buff for 30 - 50 turns. The debuff ones will only last 30. Every time. The books offer nothing to the story and you can choose to not even read them. But they really don't hurt to much, so I read them all. They are usually only about a paragraph long (with the exception of the love novels) but have some funny quotes in them.

Story

If there was one, I skipped through it. The game itself was riddled with way too many jokes to take seriously. But there was some what of a story. You are an american who gets stuck behind enemy lines and basically you decide to play "We're not gonna take it" on repeat and start killing Nazis and the dark forces that they are conjuring up from hell. Or something like that.

Sounds

Did you like the sounds for Wolfenstein? Well you are going to like them for this game too. All your favorite sounds are there! Like the Handgun. Dual Handguns. Flamethrower. ETC. ETC.

Overall

I don't know if I would pay over $5 for this game. Luckily, EA and ID bumped the price down on this game, so I think at most you have to pay $1.99 which is quite a steal for this game. Mind you I probably will not be playing this again despite how much I enjoyed it just because there will be no surprises. You Wolfensteiners out there will probably play it over a few times. All and all I give this a 6.75 out of 10. (it would have been higher, but I played DOOM II RPG right after this one...let's just say that is my next review and it will be getting a better score.)

If you have a cell phone that can play games, check it out and see if you can get this game. It is well worth the two dollars just for the interestingly different gameplay. It is a great time waster that isn't too long. Best of all, it didn't kill my battery life.

Until I write the DOOM II RPG review, Stay Classy and Fuck you San Diego.

Regh out.

I know I promised a post 4 days ago...

But I decided I didn't want to post yet because I decided making some OC pics will make the post 1,000,000x better. So expect that in the near (or far) future.

HURRAY FOR OC

HURRAY FOR SLEEP

HURRAY FOR FUNNEL CAKE!

p.s. 11 days, 17 hours, 27 minutes until I am sitting next to Rennnn posting. Or not posting. I haven't decided yet.

I have already started my Next post...

It is a review on Bad Driving.

It will be posted around 11pm - 12 am or later knowing the way I work, lol.

Regh out.

Why I think internet streaming of TV Shows should be perfectly legal

Because I don't want to pay for a Whole season of "How I met your mother" just to watch one episode...

Maybe if there was a CHEAP (Dollar or to a month) online subscription site, I would pay that fee as long as the streams were reliable, fast, and not Megavideo Quality...JUST SAYING.

DOWN WITH COICA

Okay, usually I am not moved by anything that has to do with Government, but when I heard about COICA I had to post this.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-segal/stop-the-internet-blackli_b_739836.html

To my understanding, Basically the government will have two blacklists. Read the link or if you know what it is sign the petition to try to prevent this from being passed. Chances are, it will be passed and the internet will cease to be fun. Not to mention websites with anything that is up without the persons consent will be die. Say good bye too all the streaming websites and 4chan.

I don't want to go into the details because I do not fully understand it yet and chances are that this will be passed. I just wish they would see that this is exactly what China and Iran do with their internet. HURRAY FOR OPPRESSION.

Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare

This is my favorite game add on...EVER. The people at Rockstar worked their magic yet again and made a game that was awesome 800x better! How is it better exactly though? WEELLLLLLL...

First off, They added 6 hours of story to the game. Which isn't that bad seeing as how the pack comes to you in a nice $10 price. Aside from the new story, there are also a bunch of side missions. I played the game on Wednesday from 8am to about 9pm. So about 13 hours plus the time I spent today completing it, I would say there is about 16-17 hours of new content. THAT IS HUGE.

This is not one of the 4 Horses. This is a Night-Mare

Not to mention they added some new Zombie Killing Items. Such as The Blunderbuss, Holy Water, and Zombie Bait just to name a few. Plus there are new mounts in form of the Horses of The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and a secret one (which isn't so secret when you look at how to get one of the new outfits in the game).

The Story is well written too and takes more of a light hearted/Cheesy Zombie movie plot that is riddled with Morbid Zombie Comedy (when trying to figure out WTF was going on, one person blames it on the jews.) The gameplay is the same with the added detail you are now fighting zombies instead of Cowboys (or rather cowboy zombies) so you can't just shoot at them and hope they die. OH NO. That will just slow them down and waste bullets. No You must shoot the head off. You would know this if you have seen any zombie movie EVER.

Aww piss. Not again.

Some new game mechanics include a kinda gang turf battle that was in San Andres...Except with zombies, finding missing people instead of hunting people down and killing them, and all the random encounters have changed. My favorite are the cannibals because they keep a zombie as a pet and you can just choose to ignore it or slay both the human and zombie. Also, Bullets are the new currency so you can do missions like "Kill more zombies than someone" for 20 - 40 bullets. I have never seen a gambling thing lower than that.

Aside from all the zany antics, crazy horses, and zombie driven storyline, there is also a new Multiplayer option in which it is basically a "See how long you can survive against the undead hordes" in which there is no winning. Basically you have to rely on teamwork (though most of the time it is every man for himself). The team has to open a coffin to get more ammo since it is rather limited in this match type. Unfortunately, in all my experiences, the people you are playing with will not protect the person trying to open the Coffin. Which was usually me. I don't know if they knew I was trying to get the entire team ammo...either way. If you get on a kill streak you also can get phosphorous bullets which set the undead on fire. WOOOOO.

As mentioned before. THIS IS THE SINGLE BEST VIDEO GAME ADD ON EVER. Since it is just an add on, I am giving this in unconstitutional 10/10. Only because I am basing it on other add ons I have seen for games. If you own Red Dead Redemption and don't have this yet, do yourself a favor and actually get this one. You will not regret it.

Regh out

Wild West plus anything Automatic Win.

When I get home today, I am going to be writing my Review for Red Dead Redemptions new expansion (read: Overhaul) Undead Nightmare.

 But with that being said, a classmate of mine showed me this video.

I am instantly hooked on the idea of this movie. And it is from the Producer of the Lord of the Rings...This will most likely rock. I mean the producer of LoTR...how could this go wrong. Worst case scenario the story sucks but the action is F'n amazing. I don't care either way, this is a movie I must see.

The moral of today is...

I need some fresh pot.

Left 4 Dead 1 and 2

(Note: this post is unorganized. I am super stressed so I wasn't really thinking while writing it.)

Ok so today I have decided to do what I set out to do in the first place. That is post a review about a video game and with it being Halloween I figured why not cover a Zombie Video game? What better zombie video game is there that deals with MASS zombies (Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and a few other reviews also to come soon).

As you can see, Valve was really original with the box art...

Now this is one of my favorite games of all time. For those of you who somehow missed this game, it is a Co-op (4p) first person shooter for the PS3, 360, and PC where you take on the role of one of 4 survivors during the Zombie Apocalypse. NEAT. Now when I say zombie Apocalypse, I don't mean grandma and grandpa's zombie apocalypse. I am talking Full blown 28 days later kinda shit (if you have not seen that movie, watch it.) These zombies roam around in hoards! MASSIVE hoards. Which means Plenty of Zombie killing to go around for you and all your friends. By the time you finish a campaign you should have killed at least 300+ zombies. If you took the time to explore and actually take in everything in the game.

This is what a small horde looks like when they are coming for you

Not since Dynasty Warriors, have I seen so many characters on the screen that are being controlled by the computer. Yet somehow Valve manages to give the Zombies better A.I. than the Japs will ever give dynasty warriors. But occasionally on either of the console versions there is some frame rate dropping and the occasional lag. But that still doesn't mean this game isn't awesome.

That is a bit more like it

In this game, you go through the campaigns as if they are movies. Each one even has it's own "movie" poster that you see during the load screens as well as ending "credits" which are actually just stats that the game keeps track of the entire time. Hell, to push the movie theme even further, the game has something called the "Director" system. What this director does is if it sees that you and your friends are doing well, it will play an eerie horror movie sound and send waves of zombies at you. Not only that but it selects which special infected it will throw at you next. Special Infected are covered in the next paragraph. That however is only when the director is being a dick. The director can also give you more guns, helpful items, or ammo if you are struggling. It is really a cool system when you really think about it.

The faces of the cast when they found out they weren't
in the second game until "The Sacrifice" was released

I am not going to get into the specifics of the gameplay for these games. At least not for the humans. The humans play like any other first person shooter. You see something you want to shoot? Okay...then point and pull the trigger. Whoopty do. You also have the option to use your medical packs and adrenaline shots, which boost your speed and give you temp health, and the different types of ammo in the game. If you really want to know, play it. I will say this though, if you play the first game before the the second, you will be disappointed because you will grow to love the characters from the first and they are not in the second. (Bill NOOOOO.) 

Alright now. Special infected are crazy fun. There are a few different types of special infected. I will also give some VS. Strat for each of them.

The Boomer is hideous 

There is the Boomer which spits nasty goo on your human characters that causes hordes to attack the person who got spit on. This is a really nasty skill but the catch is it is super fat (which makes it rather easy to see more of the time) and slow. Also, the Boomer does not have too much health. But be careful! When the Boomer dies, it explodes (which I am assuming is why it is called Boomer) and if you are too close guess what? You are covered in Boomer Bile. Cool right? In the VS. mode in the game, you can are randomly assigned a special infected if you are on the infected side. When you are given this guy be careful, it isn't easy to hide or move. Not to mention his melee attack doesn't do too much damage and it has limited range with it's "puke" attack.

"I swear, I am not staring at your face...or tongue..."

Following the boomer, we have the Smoker. The Smoker can easily be identified without seeing it due to it's extremely nasty sounding cough. So what can something called the Smoker be good at? If I didn't know I probably would have never been able to guess so I will just tell you. The Smoker is able to shoot it's tongue out (if it can still be called that) and constrict survivors. It, too, has pretty low health. But what it doesn't have in health it makes up for with it's long range attack. When constricted by the smoker, you cannot do anything but pray for someone to save you (unless you are fast enough to save yourself before it completely has a hold of you). The Smoker is, in my opinion, one of THE most deadly infected in VS when played right. It is best not to use your tongue attack out in the open, but instead while standing on top of something extremely tall. This will make you grab the survivor and lift him or her off the ground leaving them completely helpless to anything down there. That includes anything that can kill them. Also you can use smokers to pull survivors close to witches (I will explain why this is a good idea later).

I would not fuck with that

Next on the list we have my personal favorite, The Hunter. This is another constrictor character but unlike the smoker, it leaps great distances to land on it's foes and begin tearing them apart. This character is super deadly because it is fast (when it is not crouching) and can quickly make your zombie killing experience into a rainy day. Luckily he is probably the easiest of all the special infected to hear because of his shriek and growling noises that he makes when attacking or getting ready to attack. If you happen to get a hunter as your character in VS, hang with the other special infected. By now you probably can see a trend here. I guess at the start of this review I should have said ALL special infected (with the exception of the tank) have low health. If you stay with the other infected, wait until the action starts off. Pounce any victim that is unlucky enough to run off on their own and you will most likely get a kill. Hunters can also jump from Wall to wall and have a very effective melee attack as well...

Check this video out for how to be an effective hunter.

He is 3x larger than any other infected.

Next there is the tank. He is huge. He can take a whole group of survivors by himself. He is a boss. and the director essentially gives him out during VS at random times. The tank is able to move quickly. When he hits you, your character goes flying. He also has a ranged attack of throwing slabs of ground that it can rip up from the ground. Essentially he is a killing machine and if you do not get a ton of points while being him, you probably are bad at L4D.

Years of inbreeding has lead to this.

The charger is next. He is also a constrictor like the Smoker and the Hunter, except he does a TON of damage. Basicly, a Charger should lead a pack of other infected into an attack. When he charges, he moves ultra fast, grabs the survivor you are aiming at (and stumbles everyone around that character) and slams them into whatever object stops it. THEN repeatedly smashed that same survivor into the ground. Brutal. As said before, it should lead an attack on a group of survivors just because of how fast and damaging it is. Unfortunately, this guy is only on L4D2. So if he interests you, you have to get that game.









The is also the Spitter. I did not care to get a picture of her due to all the images that appeared when I searched "spitter" on google. So what does the spitter do? Spits Acid. This is effect just because you can force survivors into traps with the acid and/or do a ton of damage over time. I really don't like using her, but I will if I have to. Also, when she dies, she spreads out a pool of acid where she was standing. So if you die over someone who is incapacitated, you will still do a good amount of damage.

She cries and cries...until you get close to her...

You cannot play as her. If you get too close or point a flashlight in her face you will startle her. She instantly incapacitate survivors. She has a ton of health and is a bitch to kill. You will know when a witch is around because of her crying.

This wasn't much of a review...But to sum up left 4 dead 1 and 2, it is only really good if you have people to play with. You can do 2 play local co-op (even on a PC) and 4 to 8 player online. This game is a lot of fun but if you get any version, get the PC version. It has way more re playability because you can download mods and new levels. Mods like this mod which is the most disturbing one I have seen yet. (the volume is abnormally loud on this vid. Watch with caution.)



I give this a 6 out of 10 unless you play it multiplayer. Then it is a 9 out of 10


Hopefully my next post my thoughts will be more aligned. I don't like how this one is set up or how I wrote it...but I don't care because I actually did a review...kinda...

Regh out.

Before I go back to The Books...

After Editing my last post, I found this video. It is by that Lasse fellow in the post before this (watch the other two videos first, to get a feel from what he has come from)

It is actually moving in a way (and it has some funny moment) So without further adieu, Consoul. Oh turn off the comments unless you want to see all the influences and Characters he threw in.

Gets me every time.

Checking out everyones pages now.

I like this too. It is a direct rip of Lasse Gjertsen Beatbox Video...But I still love it. Video embedding has been disabled from it however. weird.

If you don't know who Lasse Gjertsen is...



and this



this guy knows how to edit properly. I think I may try my hand at this someday soon and post it up here.

HEY LOOK THIS IS A POST NOW!

LoL at me posting daily

Who was I kidding. This is Final Season.

I gotta do something to entertain the internet

I have been slacking on my posts lately. Which I find kinda bogus on my part. But it has been hard to play games for review/write a review in between making money to go to New York (to see my beautiful girl friend) and doing stuff at school. BUT I have decided that I need to post something daily. You know, For the views. Considering this blog at one time got 300 hits per day (before I put the counter up) to nothing but 3 - 20 per day. Not telling what these things will be. Maybe I will post something about my life and what's going on. I mean the blog title is Regh's Mind, therefor I should be able to post what ever is on my mind correct? Plus it is a blog on this thing the kids are calling the internet. Maybe I will start putting my scripts up here before I create the films to practice my art AND for some much needed criticism, complaints, concerns, comments, etc etc etc. Or maybe I will just put ear worms on here so others can be infected.

Either way, they will just be there for a temp. filler until I can get creative and write another review.

Is there anything else my readers would like to see here?

P.S. Earworm of the day

The song of the day is...

This has been stuck in my head all day. Be sure to watch the video because it is actually amazing.

Fucking Crazy ass video game idea part one.

So I was sitting in class today when suddenly an idea for a MMO came to me! I actually think it is a good idea too! I really don't know if this has been done yet or not. If it has, tell me. I would love to play it. Anyhoo, moving on now...

When you log in for the first time, you are presented with a black screen with white text. The white text will welcome you to the world and ask you to create a something called a "bit." Other than that you are told that you are rogue computer code starting, trying to come become something greater than a single letter.

Now I know this is not correct, but for the sake of depth, one "bit" will be represented by a single letter (on screen) of the players choosing. So to start, there will be 24 different characters, each character have their own feats, skills (passive and active) and stat modifiers. The base stat for everything will be 5. Why? Because that is easy to work with. So let's say just as an example, you choose the letter B. B is for Barbarian, so you would have a Strength Modifier of +6, a dex modifier of -2, Intelligence -3, Wisdom -4, and Charisma -2.
That would translate out to:
STR 11
DEX 3
CON 5
INT 2
WIS 1
CHR 3

Okay, moving on now. So you are now a "B" on a black surface with little white trees and buildings. Think Atari style. At this point you are now able to set up keyboard short cuts and what not. You are also able to use the arrow keys (or if you choose WSAD) to move your character. You will then encounter other letters and squares. The Squares are here for you to level on. When you move up to them and invade the area they are in, a battle is started. During the battle, Your life will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. Enemies next to yours with turn by turn of what is going on in the battle in a chat box on screen. Your shortcuts can be used to initiate skills and spells.

Really the square are just there for free experience seeing how they won't be doing much Damage due to them being not as advanced as your single Character. After a few square battles you will level. Once you do level you will be able to put some points into your characters passive skills. Yes, only the passive ones at the moment. Oh, did I mention you stop gaining experience as well. This will cause most of my readers to "WTF" but hear me out. Remember how I said before that there are also other letters roaming around? Well, now you either enter the PVP Arena and fight other players OR you can fight the random NPC "bits." Once you kill one of the others, you will be asked if you would like to absorb the bit.

Of course you are going to want to absorb the bit because it allows you to start gaining experience again. BUT as an added bonus, you get to acquire two minor skills and one passive skill from the letter as well as all the stat buffs (and nerfs) of the bit you absorbed. You also take in the letter into your character and add it to it. So you are B and you add Q to your character. You will be given a box with you B in it. Inside said box you can manipulate the B and the Q. The only rule? You cannot exceed the limits of the box. You will have options to keep a bit attached to your character or destroy it. The choice will be up to he player seeing as how there will be a limited number of bits you can attach.

This Process continues until you reach level 8. Now this is when some cool stuff happens. After you Absorb your 7th character (so you have 8 in all now) you will be taken to a loading screen where you see a bit more color...and graphics. See, you have collected enough bits to become a "Byte." Which means you are now able to enter the 8-bit world or the byte world. At this part of the game, you will be assigned an avatar based on the Order you Selected the Bits. So someone who has "WNUOSPED" will not have the same avatar as "ASDFGHJK". Spelling certain worlds may also give you special buffs upon leveling. But they will only be temp. After you get your new 8-bit avatar, you will be hit with some more story (which I will not reveal incase I do create this game) and you may now name your character.

So Wat Do Now? Well now that you are in the byte world, things will look more Zelda-esque. I am talking NES zelda. You receive new skills based on the 8 characters you chose and in which order. The controls remain the same but you are now hunting for letters (non-player) or PVP arena. By killing letters you will receive parts of the letters that you slay. Which will either give you equipment, crafting materials (assuming you or your friend have the "Craft" ability and a item coding copied) and BP which will stand for Byte Points. Not British Petroleum. You will receive BP every battle. As for the equipment, it will provide stat boosts and elements. The elements do nothing but minor extra damage...so just wait. Once you obtain 1024 BP, you will be eligible for your next character advancement.

The next step is becoming a "Kilo." The world of the Kilo is different from the world of the Byte. Instead of looking like a NES game, things now look like a SNES or Sega game. Remember the elements on the equipment from before? Well that now becomes your Primary element. I hope to have several elements in the game just for some verity and much re-playability. The first draft of the list looks something like this: Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Ice, Electric, Wood, Shadow, Grass, Metal, Light, Spirit, and Martial. May not give all those at once. Might force some sort of pay system...or even better. Give all those and but also and premium content like god and demon elements (names pending) Obviously some elements will school others. But I want every character to stand a chance. No Over Power Rape BS. Balancing will be the key. But I don't want to neutralize the game play and make it slow and bland. I want it to be mildly fast pace you know.

I have some other ideas but I don't want to reveal them yet. I need to work out the details plus I don't want to get all my ideas out there incase someone steals it. Unless they steal it with the intentions paying me. Then I would be happy to help them out (after I've seen a contract)

Tell me what you think so far. Part two will be just as fun as part one.. I want feedback, questions, comments, concerns, complaints, and...you get the point.

Ya Her?

P.S. Steal it and I will sue your ass. Unless I see 20% of the green and full creative control. THOSE ARE MY DEMANDS!

OH I will add pictures later. This looks souper bland (I'm hungry)

Regh out.

Pokemon Black and White Preview

The legendaries. It is a Yin-Yang theme for this game.

Pokemon Black and White

New Prof = Babe

Note: I played Pokemon Black for this preview. White is essentially the same game with minor tweaks

Good evening everyone. I come to you today with a sneak Preview of Pokemon Black for the DS. Now I know what most of you are saying..."Pokemon? WTF? Why the hell would we care about pokemon?" The answer to this question is "I don't give a Fuck, if you don't like it don't read this." Moving on now.

I got the Japanese version from a friend who said to me, "You write reviews. What about previews? Preview this." So I am. The thing that I dislike the most about the Japanese version so far is the fact I don't really know what is going on in the story. But from what I can tell, this game will have more story than any other version of Pokemon due to the fact that I get called up or stopped by rivals (yes, there is more than one in this game) or by the new Professor.


WAIT A SECOND? WHAT? YOU CAN GET CALLED UP UP IN THIS GAME???
Yes you can. At the beginning of the game you are given a watch that I guess has a cellphone in it. Go figure. Now I have only played to like the second badge, but another useful tool I got was the Dowsing tool. Like the other games, this is used to find items that are hidden. But unlike the other games, this tells you which direction the item you are looking for is in, thus making it easier to find. Hurray for easy things!

The new map.
The Bottom Town is like New York in a lot of ways.

Other than that, another sweet new feature is that all the pokemon in the game have their own in battle idle animations! Yes, the Pokemon now move in battle. My favorite animation I have seen so far is one of the characters throws a piece of wood into the air, then catches it and twirls it. Then loops. This is still a huge step for Pokemon considering the last 4 generations have just kinda sat there looking pretty. Now, in the fifth Generation they can move. Oh did I mention that there is like 600+ Pokemon all together now? No? Well there are now 600+ pokemon. You know what I say to that? PISS ON CATCH'EM ALL. I am just going to catch the ones I want. Which might be only the ones I can see in the game.

OH YEAH. They added new 3v3 battles to the game. THESE ARE NUTTY. It is kinda hard to keep track of three pokemon and makes the game feel more like a classic RPG rather than a Pokemon game. They also added rotational battle which I have not come across yet. But my guess (according to the name) is that in a rotational battle, you will be switching your pokemon on the fly...which seems weird to me but what do I know?

The top three are your starters. The rest are some you will see...a lot of...

The new Pokemon look just as they should. Some are cute while others look like they would eat the smaller ones. One thing I must not, The feel of these pokemon seem like they are more Americanized. What I mean by that is the Pigeon actually looks like a pigeon and there is now a dog pokemon. There is also some Chinese Mythology looking creatures, see if you can figure out which one I am talking about in the photo next to this.

It also feels like the game has been slightly tweaked from what it was 4th generation of pokemon. Some moves seem like they have been nerfed while others have received buffs. Which isn't a bad thing, this just shows that they put some effort into the game seeing as how the past few games have been the same pile of shit with a new coat of paint on it. Mind you it still is. So if you like pokemon, you will love this game. If you hate pokemon, then don't look at this. If you like challenging RPGs but have never played pokemon, grab this game when it comes to our shores...which I think is Spring 2011?

Either way, I give this game a "I can't wait!"

We Celebrate my Sisters birthday today

It is a joyous occasion because today is my sister's sweet 16 party.

I plan on not posting tonight. I would also like to apologize with the lack of new posts recently I have been crazy busy with School and what not. Thank you everyone who still checks out my blog. I plan on getting together a post tonight or tomorrow. After an ass load of homework of course.

Love.

Regh

P.S. Be sure to check out my GF's blog to see her beautiful art and my friend Ankiseth's Blog for retro game reviews.

LET'S not forget Megan's Blog to see what she learned today.

OH YEAH. Also, ask me some questions. I wanna get a QnA Post up.

We Dudes Really like boobs (Not exactly safe for work...Rated R?)

Let's face it, this had to happen sometime. Mostly because boobs are one of the greatest things ever created. Mind you I don't know who or what created them, but he, she, or it knew what they were doing. Not only did they create the awesomer-est things ever to look at, but they created the most powerful tool known to (wo)man. Some believe that boobs are actually work of the Ark of the Covenant. Others believe that they are just skin with fat in them. One individual I talked to called them "udders". Whatever you believe them to be, one thing is for sure, these things are awesome. They have the power to change history too.

Adam just wanted
Some of this awesome
Boobage.

HISTORY
Let's start with a story everyone knows, The Story of Adam and Eve. Based on my previous statement of everyone knowing the story, then we all know how it went. Eve ate the apple and thus got Herself and Adam banished. Well I thought about it for a long time and something just didn't make sense to me. Why would Adam get banished with Eve? Well obviously because he ate the apple too. But WHY would man do that? Because he want to impress Eve and get some more action with those awesome boobs. That is why. And you know what, It worked for him. He got laid at least four times. Probably more considering he lived like 900 plus years. I mean what would get a chick hotter than getting banished from the Garden of God himself.

Other known times of boobs changing history: Ceasar and Cleopatra, Yoko and John, Lady Godiva, Beauty and The Beast, Green Ranger becoming the White Ranger (he didn't sacrifice himself to save everyone, he did it for Kimberly's awesome Boobage), etc.







Uses

This is what Typical Jailbait looks like.

So why do boobs exist? Well the primary reason why boobs exist is to feed Children. Who knew? But the secondary reason is so men/women will be drawn in. For mating purposes of course. Boobs can also be used tell a womans age, how loose she is, and how much fun she will be in the sack. There are charts for these things online. Don't count on me posting them here. Instead Google them or ask for them on 4chan for christ sakes. Unfortunately, lies can now be created thanks to modern science. Not only am I referring to breast augmentation, but all the stuff they inject into our foods. This causes females under the age of 18 to develope massive boobs. So if girls under 18 have massive tits and you are looking at them, that girl is now jailbait. Which can lead to you being a pedophile. No Who is doing this? McDonald's. That is right...McDonald's causes jailbait. I said it.

This chick knows how versatile they are.

There are many more uses for boobs. You can use them as stress balls (be gentle, you don't want to hurt her...unless she is into that...then who am I to judge?), pillows, face warmers, the perfect distraction during covert spy ops, cup holders, thermometers (if you don't know about this one, next time it is cold out, grab a boob...with consent of course), among other things. You know, sexual stuff. I will not get into that because I don't want to lose my ad sense account for talking about how different sex things involving boobs work. Oh, you can also use boobs to mind link with women causing them to want to have sex with you...This is an advance technique and should not be tried by noobs.

The Problem
Straight males and all females (all girls are secretly bisexual this has been proven by science) cannot help but check out boobs. It is our natural reaction when being confronted by them. Ladies, please do not take this as an insult. Instead take it as a compliment. If you do get offended by this kind of unwanted attention, please do not slap us or throw your drink in our face. One, that is a waste of a perfectly good drink. Two, we don't mean it. It is just a natural instinct. A way to solve this is by covering up a little. Another way is if the person in question discreetly checked your awesome boobs out using ancient ninja techniques. Google them.

Epic Boob C-C-C-Combo Breaker.

How do you prevent your significant other from checking out other boobs? Well this is easy. The reason they are looking in the first place is because they have Vitamin Boob deficiency. You can solve this by giving them the daily fifteen minutes of boob action. Rather it be video, picture, or in person. With these fifteen minutes, your significant other should fill up on on the nutrients they need thus making them not want to check out boobs. Also it helps if you wear something low cut. We like that too.

Boobs can even make you like Soccer!

Advice?
Keeping them clean and well kept is also important. No one wants to put their mouth on a dirty boob. That's how the slut is spread. Once you get the slut, you can not get rid of the slut. So, you must clean them. If you do not feel like cleaning them but have a significant other (or someone who you will let touch your boobs), you are in luck! I have developed a technique for just this situation. So you take a shower with your other and you tell them you will give them some boob action. While they are going to town on your knockers, you put liquid soap on them. Presto, if you did this correctly, your boobs will be lathered. Rinse and you are good to go. If the other has the mind link ability that I mentioned before you are screwed. You will be sexing them up in no time, so you must be careful when deploying this strategy. Either way win/win.

Wingman "Hollywood"

AWESOME
You know what else is awesome about boobs? They come in any shape, size, or color that you want. Personally, I prefer enough for each hand (and white). Any more than that is pointless to me. Any less than that will make me want more. But this is all based on preference. Boobs that I may consider the "bomb", may not be to someone else. So it is a good idea to talk to your friends about what they consider proper for their boob selection. For wing man purposes. Because everyone needs a wingman once in awhile.

Overall
Overall, I have to say boobs are the greatest thing to ever be placed on this world. Followed by the internet, video games, and thai food. These things can literately do anything...or cause other people to do your crap for you. If boobs did not exist, I would not be the charismatic mother fucker that I am today. With that being said, I have to give boobs a 20 out of 10.

By the by, My girlfriend has AMAZING boobs. So awesome I wrote a haiku about them.

My Girlfriends Boobs are

Fucking phenomenal, yeah.

Need my hands on them.

Regh out.

Thanks to all the sites I got these from.

New post will be posted...Today....

Megaman Zero...Because Zero was badass enough to get a sequel

Megaman Zero

Warning: This Zero May look cartoony, but is still capable of rocking your face

Zero from  MMX series

Of all the characters to get a spin-off game, this is by far the best choice Capcom could have made. If you played Megaman X4 before and I mean REALLY played it, you probably played through the game as Zero and thought, "How can I play as Megaman when Zero is so much more fun to play as" because Megaman's storyline was about ten folds easier than Zero's. The Sheer challenge I felt through playing Zero, made Megaman X4 my favorite Megaman game. Sure the Story and music took a turn for the worst, but the mechanics were spot on.

Enough of me ranting about how Zero was so bad ass in Megaman X4, let's talk about how badass he is in Megaman Zero.

Story
Zero takes place about 100 years after the end of Megaman X. The Events that happen in the middle are a bit fuzzy, I think that is so they can finish up the X series. The Reploids are being hunted by the forces of Neo Arcadia. The remaining ones have banded together and fight Neo Arcadia and their leader, who is a reploid claiming to be X. Both with their numbers dwindling day by day and supplies running low, they begin to become desperate and start searching for the Legendary reploid, Zero. During one of the expeditions, the Reploid hunter bots corner Ciel, leader of the reploid resistance, and her small party. Luckily, they found a red reploid with long blond hair. Only problem is, he is powered down. In a desperate act, Ciel's cyber elf sacrifices it's self and revives zero.

Zero from the MMZ Series. Notice
the extra amount of badass added

This is the stage that is set in this first of what is 4 Megaman Zero games. It is quite a fast paced and well written plot for a Megaman game considering most of the time to story is just "wiley's trying to take over the world again...Kill his robots and do your own stuff."

Gameplay
You will be seeing a lot of run and gun gaming action here. The difficulty and speed has been cranked up as well. Your reaction times will be tested and you will get frustrated while playing this game. At least once or twice or at the very end of the game when you are taking on the final boss for about two hours because even though you have the bosses attack patterns down, it is still ridiculously hard to dodge any of it's attacks thus causing you to use your healing cyber elves...

Oh yeah, that reminds me, Cyber Elves are these new things that are basically virtual pets that you feed e crystals to to make them mature. What the hell do cyber elves do? Well since you asked, cyber elves are little creatures that will give you a boost of some sort. Rather it be a passive boost to damage or attack speed or even healing you, these little buggers are useful. Be careful though, some can only be used once.

The only problem in this game is that you don't get different powers like Megaman would, but instead Zero gets elements (for elemental attacks), cyber elves, and different weapon upgrades.

This is what a usual Boss Fight looks like.
Thank you Gamer's Hell for having the only
shot that I WANTED.

This game has HEAVY emphasis on learning a bosses pattern and what equipment combinations the enemies are weak against. Most are pretty cut and dry where as others will be a bit challenging to figure out. Some don't even have a weakness, so you just have to have the controls masters and hope you do awesome. Another way this game has changed heavily from the X counter part is that you have to walk to all the places you want to go to. No choosing a level and being warped there. No. You have to choose the direction and then dash, jump, and cut your way into it...it is usually fun but if you have to restart a level (which you will) over and over again, you may get frustrated.

In this game, after you finish a level, you will be graded. The grades will give you better stuff if you do well. This encourages you to go back and play levels over to try and increase your score. Also, during a boss fight if you finish it by using your Z-Saber, the enemy will be cut in half somehow...it is quite satisfying to see sometimes.

Sounds
The music in this game is comparable to that of the Megaman X series. To take a page out of Programmableabortion's blog, here is some game music.

This is actually a remix of an old song from Megaman X. I believe it was called Enter Zero.


This one is pretty good and I am pretty sure that it is another Remix...

The sound effects are great in this game too. You have everything from the Sound of you cutting something in half to Shooting stuff with your pistol. It is all how it should be, really cartoony and Megaman X-esque. I personally loved it because I am kinda a huge Megaman fan and I have been following the blue bomber since before the X series even started. So of course I am going to be biased towards the sounds. They are just too nostalgia-fied that I can't get enough of them...despite them probably being some of the most annoying sounds ever heard by some unlucky person when I play megaman without my headphones on. lulz

Who needs a gun arm?

Overall
Despite this game having some changes to the Megaman Series, it is quite refreshing. I mean come on, Zero deserves this. He is quite possibly my favorite character in the Megaman Universe. I mean this is obvious because they didn't make this game suck like the end of the X series did. This game is really hard though. That is what is fun about it though. It actually takes a lot of skill to finish this game. It takes even more skill to collect everything in the game. But go on Yonder gamer, go into the voyage for answers...like why the hell is X a bad guy in this game.

All and all though, this game gets a 9.2 out of 10

"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum."

They Live

They Live is a 1988 film about a unnamed man (everyone calls him Nada) who finds a pair of sunglasses. Upon putting on said sunglasses, he notices that certain people are actually aliens that are brain washing the people to obey them! So what does Nada do? He does what any american would do. Goes on a alien killing rampage. The aliens in this remind me of the Ghouls from the Fallout Series. This could possibly be what they are based off of.

Everything about this film is pretty much full of fail. But when you come to terms with that you realize that it is just a "lol" movie from the 80s.


Nada (who is played by Rowdy Roddy Piper) is your typical long haired hero without a cause that we came to know and love during the 80s. But not all these movies had Rowdy Roddy Piper with a shotgun in them now did they? Moving on, as mentioned before he finds a pair of sunglasses that show him the "true" faces of some people. For no reason he decides it will be a good idea to call someone out for it drawing attention to himself causing the Alien police to come for him. Of course he beats the snot out of the aliens and gets their Shotgun and goes on a killing rampage. The most memorable moment of the entire film is this gem:

Really many things in this movie happen without reason. But who needs reason when you are kicking this much ass right? One of those things is the 5 minute fight scene that happens because someone Nada works with will not put on the sunglasses. Here is the fight scene.


Two Guys beating the living shit out of each other over a pair of sunglasses...if this isn't enough to make you watch this, I don't know what will be.

On top of all the over the top ridiculous action, is the terrible acting and special effects that take place in this movie. For '88, this movie really didn't take the time to do the special effects right. They are subpar at best with the crummy explosions, pyrotechnics, and muzzle flares. I could show another video of this but I think you get the point.

Sure this movie is really crummy and has poor acting plus there are more holes in the plot than there are beautiful girls who are willing to date me (so far we got one)...but you will not watch this movie for that...oh no. You will watch this movie because it really is just a fun movie. I will say this, unless you LOVE this movie, don't buy it. Stream it or Netflix it. If you don't, you will wish you could get your money back.

I give this movie a 5.6 out of 10

Also, right before the movie ends you get to see boobs.

and who doesn't like some random boobige?

Regh out.

Sorry about the lack of Postage

PON PON PATAPON

So one system gets neglected often when doing video game reviews (or just playing them) that system is PSP. Sure the PSP is one of the worst Handhelds since the Gamegear, but it has some nice gems on it. One I particularly enjoyed was a strange game called Patapon. WTF is a Patapon you may ask. Patapon are these little Tribal Eyeball creatures that you see on the front of the case.

PATAPON

Now Patapon is a strategy game with a twist. As soon as you turn on the game you basically sign your name onto a piece of paper stating that you are now the god of the Patapon and that you will lead them to victory. The Major difference with this strategy game compared to others is that you control all your units...wait for it...WITH DRUMS. Each button on the PSP face is set to a different drum. You have  Pata, Pon, Don, and Chaka drums. With these drums you either tell your Patapon to advance, attack, defend, retreat, or you can use one of your miracles which initiates a rhythm mini game.

You will often find that Patapon are up against terrible odds...

Heres the other catch, when you play the drum beats. They have to be done to the Rhythm of the drum playing in the background which is always in 1/4 beat. So 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4. The Rhythms are really hypnotic and I actually found myself chanting them before for no reason. Get used to hearing PATA-PATA-PATA-PON which is the command to make your Patapon move. Oh and PON-PON-PATA-PON which is the attack drums. If you manage to do these perfectly with the beat, your Patapon will enter something called fever mode. In fever mode all the Patapon get SUPER EPIC and usually do more damage and/or get more range on attack, it really just varies by Patapon type.

The dragons will be the least of your worries...

Somehow this game has managed to bring you a Rhythm based game as well as strategy. Now here is where the game gets cool. You make all your troops from random items and equipment you acquire in battle. Mind you there are set formulas for each on like say for instance, One metal plus one wood plus some points. So you would use your best metal, the best wood and what ever number of points the Patapon cost to make them. The rarer the stuff the better the Patapon. This is where the game really stands out and makes you want to "hunt" to get better equipment and items. By hunting I mean doing a mission that requires you to kill a certain type of enemy.

So what did I think of the game? I thought this game was perfect. On the PSP it was super portable, it has great sound (even better if you plug in your headphones) and there are plenty of rhythm based distractions in the game to keep you busy while you are not leading the Patapon to the other end of the world. Now if I wouldn't have played the second one I would have said this was the best. But the second adds a lot to the game.

Graphics

There are several different unit types,
So make sure you plan accordingly.

The Graphics in this game are beautiful. Simplistic and Beautiful. In my many years of playing video games...which has been 18 years, I have never seen a game quite like this one. Just when you think the game is lacking in color you will be hit with Crazy Backgrounds, Rain Effects, Wind Effects (this actually plays a huge roll in the game SO PAY ATTENTION.

Gameplay
The gameplay in it can get pretty stale. Unless you like Mindlessly banging on drums. Personally I loved it because you had to know exactly what you were doing at times to keep your Patapon alive. You had to know exactly when to strike and when to pull back. If you Charged in there willy nilly like you could survive...but you would lose A LOT of Patapon. The Equipment feature in the game is nice too because you get to put different equipment on different Patapon thus giving you the ability to pick favorites.


Sound
This is where the game Really Shines. When you enter a level all you hear is one drum. As you advance or enter fever mode the music gets more intense. Rather it be a simple tribal drum beat and the Patapon Chanting to some Techno with the Patapon going crazy and yelling things in their Patapon Language. You will really feel like some sort of drumming god in this one.

Overall
Patapon can be a lot of fun. There is a slight learning curve though. I know I sat down and I played this game until I could not play it anymore (aka I finished the story line and did everything I wanted to do in the hunts) and I am lucky I did because your data transfers over in Patapon 2 and I am sure if you complete Patapon 2 it will do the same in 3. All and all though I give this game an 8.7 out of 10


Pata-Pata-Pata-Pon

Health Update

Well I am starting to feel better. Still got some head cold stuff going on. Not dizzy anymore nor do I have a sore throat. Which is good because both were so bad before I could hardly concentrate on anything. Typing the last update was hell.

So with that being said, I plan on getting a post up today or tomorrow.

Cheers.
