QE/SG

rcComics
I still have not made up my mind about <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=355>Karaoke Revolution.</a> I’m sure I’ll probably like it once I play it. There really isn’t a lot going on for me to blog about. My birthday is coming up at the end of the month. Traditionally my birthday has always sucked. Since it is right after Thanksgiving I can never get an adequate party thrown together. This year I plan on going to <a href=http://www.midohiocon.com>Mid Ohio Con</a> but after that, who knows.

Miss Me?

rcComics
Ok, now I’m <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=352>back.</a> Don’t get me wrong I like my job, but this one client is one of the biggest jerks I’ve had to work with. What kept me going through the week was knowing I had a date this weekend. I’m think it will be fun and won’t turn out like <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=16>this</a>, <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=47>this</a>, <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=73>this</a>, or <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=331>this.</a> Continue reading "Miss Me?" →

Ok, One More

rcComics
<a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=345>Today’s comic</a> is the last time I make fun of the N-Gage… unless I run out of comic ideas, then it’s POW! right in Nokia’s jaw. The wheel of interest is spinning once again, I’ve finally been able to identify all of my hobbies I switch between:
  1. new video games
  2. anime
  3. classic video games
  4. movies and TV on DVD
  5. import video games
  6. Heroclix, Magic, other non-video games
  7. RPGs
As you can see I live a very full and rewarding life. Anyway, yesterday I started surfing some import game sites and stumbled upon a few really cool games. Here’s some links so you can see that Japan gets a lot cooler video game stuff than we do. <a href=http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-r-70-2j8-4-5-77–15-space%2Binvaders.html>Space Invaders 25th Anniversary</a> <a href=http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-28-70-2kx-4-5-77-6-15-dragon%2Bwarrior.html>Dragon Quest w/ Sword</a> <a href=http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-70-2r2-71-r.html>Transformers (the original, not Armada crap)</a> <a href=http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-70-2oe-71-46.html>Mojib Ribbon</a> Continue reading "Ok, One More" →

Treason

rcComics
When I got back from New Orleans, I wasn’t expecting <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=343>this.</a> The Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference was ok. There wasn’t anything there that would interest a normal person. However after hours, Microsoft knows how to throw a party. Thursday night they rented out the House of Blues and we had free drinks the whole night. The band was really good and the fake Blues Brothers even came out to sing a couple songs. Friday night not only was the House of Blues rented out, but the whole street was blocked off for Microsoft partners. This time the band was none other than Smashmouth. Afterwards we walked a couple blocks to Bourbon street. It wasn’t anything spectactular, but it also wasn’t spring break. All in all it was a pretty good time.

N-Gage Joke-Off

rcComics
Yesterday the worst <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=341>portable system</a> in history was released. Remember this date to tell your grandkids. According to <a href=http://spong.com/index.asp?art=5632>this article</a> Nokia plans on selling six million units in the first two years. What the article does not mention is that 5.9 million will be bought by Nokia chief Ilkka Raiskinen’s parents and the other 100,000 will be donated to mentally handicapped children. The funniest thing is how gaming magazines and websites try to maintain their objectivity and pretend the N-Gage is a real console. They all know it sucks but they just won’t come out and say it. Honestly, I want to meet someone who bought an N-Gage, just out of pure scientific interest. It’d be like getting to meet Jack after he came home with magic beans. In other news the shirts have been ordered. We should get them in a couple weeks. Continue reading "N-Gage Joke-Off" →

Surprise Party

rcComics
It’s no <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=339>surprise</a> that there is a comic today. I know Rogue Squadron III is a couple weeks away from being released but I can’t help poking fun at it because it bothers me so much. Everyone claims this game is something new but it’s based on the most overplayed franchise in video game history. The day will come when Star Wars games will add the year to the end of their title like sports games. Teenagers who weren’t even alive when Phantom Menace came out will have the following conversation: “Hey, did you hear Star Wars 2006 is out?” “No way man! I haven’t finished the Death Star trench battle on Star Wars 2005 yet.” “Well I heard the Death Star trench battle on 2006 is much better.” I am a Star Wars fan, but I’d rather play something with a new storyline, like KOTOR. At least then I wouldn’t have to shoot those darn AT-ATs anymore. Continue reading "Surprise Party" →

Resident Evil – The Musical

rcComics
The other night I decided to get out <a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=338>Resident Evil</a> for the PS1. This is the first Playstation game I ever bought. While some say this game played a big part in created the “survival horror” genre, it also made huge strides in the “crappy voice acting” genre. Seriously, the cutscenes sound like something out of a high school play. So why would I get out an old game just to bad mouth it? Ever since I quit Gamefly I decided I would go back and play every game I have. I made a spreadsheet of all my games (so far just the newer systems, but I’ll get to “Battletoads and Double Dragon” eventually), along with how far I am in each game and whether or not I want to keep it. Unfortunately I don’t think Resident Evil is going to make the cut. Continue reading "Resident Evil – The Musical" →

Hit and Run does not Gulp ‘N Blow

rcComics
<a href=https://www.bitsmack.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Comics&file=index&action=comic&id=335>Today’s comic</a> is inspired by the new game Simpsons: Hit and Run. I’ve only played the game a little bit so far but it is easily the best Simpsons game yet (yes that is including The Simpsons arcade game). The only thing the game is lacking is the random violence. My theory on why GTA3 is so popular is that I know people who can play the game for hours and never do a single mission. They just drive off ramps, shoot people and steal cars. In the Simpsons you have to do missions to have any fun. Continue reading "Hit and Run does not Gulp ‘N Blow" →
