Can't teach an old nerd new tricks..

Been too long since my last update. To be honest, I've been too busy and haven't been playing enough new games to comment upon. As always the continual promise to myself to not get distracted shall be made and consequently ignored.

Why Blog in this day and age?

I was asked the other day by a fellow conspirator why I choose to use a blog instead of YouTube like many other people, certainly I would get more views/fans/adoration/buttsecks. I concur, if I did use YouTube that would likely happen, but currently I write this for myself as much as the two people who read it.

Secondly, I personally prefer blogging for the type of content I make, if I were to do game commentaries, replays, or some form of talk back, YouTube would be perfect. But as of this time I currently think it better for me to stay here, who on YouTube would want to watch me sit here and natter on for large chunks of time about shit nobody gives a wank about? I will eventually create content on YouTube or whatever new medium is the go, but while I work on ideas and sich, i'll remain here.



Extremely Late Thoughts on Dead Space I & II


Now, it has taken me until just recently to play Dead Space I, as i always have a large backlog of games i never play or finish, but with the upcoming sequel, I had to. Dead space I was faaantastic, I cannot believe I left it so long to play, but I am glad I did as all was fresh in my mind for when I hit the second. Which im going to simply leave it at the worst thing about it is having to wait for the 3rd installment. Con's for dead space is definitely that its not nearly as scary as others lead me to believe, Though I have always preferred the mindfuck scares to the jerk scares. In the first game, Spawns are very predictable it no less leads to an enjoyable romp. Best thing I can comment on for developers is THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A NON-JERK SHOOTER! You are in an encumbering engineering space suit not designed to fling around left and right at each sound. While yes the menus suffer from the usual clunky fucktaggery of a console port, The clunky slow feeling you get from walking around in that suit and with the aiming system (because how the fuck are you supposed to aim that quickly with no training?) is FUCKING GLORIOUS. It adds to the atmosfear (get it?) and just all manner of immersion.


The sequel just makes it better.


Now sports fans, Time for me to Junior Bird-Man the hell out of here.
