irate gamer @ angry video game nerd

a lot of people say irate gamer copied avgn. me? i don't know. looking at Chris's reviews he quotes James a lot and if they have done the same game Chris touches a lot of the same points. that being said i don't hate irate game. he's funny at times and he is relatively interesting to watch.

i like angry video game nerd better though for several reasons. one reason is he comes up with creative and funny things to say, and do (eg putting on a cape and flying to the sun to throw superman 64 into it). I encourage everyone to watch both and make their own opinion.

master cheif

master chief is cool. there is no two ways about it, he is cool. because he is cool i am going to talk about him.

he was stolen from his mother (and possibly his father) and replaced with a flash clone, which died. he was selected because of his superior genes and leadership ability. he hardly remembers his past life and was forced to give up his surname in place for a 3 digit number (john 117).
he was trained in the most brutal way imaginable, forced to memorize battle strategies, hand to hand fighting techniques, and intense drills.
his training was paid off when he was selected to have a robotic implantation, most would not survive, and later to wield the mjolnir mark 4 5 and finally 6, the most advanced piece of technology the humans can muster, costing about as much as a small star ship to manufacture, its worth every penny.
its got a nearly impenetrable sheild around incredibly strong outer metal shell over a gel layer that is linked directly to the wearers brain. the visor can detect where a fire arm is pointing and how much amuniton it has. any person wearing it besides a spartan would be killed by the sensory overload, not to mention unable to move from the over half a ton weight of the armor.

don't we all wish we could be spartans?

project natal vs sony motion controller

for my first topic I've decided to throw my opinion into the giant food processor that is the Internet.
for starters lets talk about project natal.(if you unfamiliar with project natal i strongly suggest you google it before you read on)natal looks interesting but there are many thing that can't be done with it. like say, a first person shooter, which xbox has more than enough of. it seems to be for more casual experiences for that reason. second, this is very much like an advanced ps2 eye toy program. naturally since this is on the 360 it will be much more precise with its tracking but still its really treading old ground. third the PlayStation eye can already do most of this, look at eye pet, and there is sure to be more games like that soon. but natal does look pretty cool and we honestly don't know that much about it at the moment. on a related topic, that Milo video was entirely scripted and if peter molyneux wanted to really convince people he should have shown a live demo of it, which he claims he can, so why didn't he?

now we move on to Sony motion controller. now first we shall talk about the design its downright ridiculous but its a proto type so i think they'll fix that, and if they don't xbox fanboys will just attack and attack and attack. that's what xbox fanboys do best right?( in case your unclear fanboy, in video games, doesn't just mean that you like the console it means that absolutely hate every other console and make unfair arguments in your consoles favor)my first comment on natal was that there were things you couldn't do with it, cannot be applied here. i can't really think of anything you couldn't do with it, because it has an analog stick, a d-pad(i think) and an analog trigger. a lot of people say that this is copying off the wii, which in some ways it is but in most ways it isn't. it does have some of the same mechanisms inside like the wii has but for the most part the wii is more advanced in that area. the precision comes from the glowing ball the ps eye tracks.

whether you like natal or motion controller one thing is for certain, if either of these work the last reason to buy a wii goes right out the window.

this blog..

this blog was once all about my life, but while writing about it i found out my life is incredibly boring, and that I'd be writing about the same exact events every single day. so I've deleted all my prior posts (and by all i mean three) started fresh and decided to write about what interests me, that being games.
ask any of my friends, i am obsessed with games and talk about them constantly, and it really annoys the snot out of them. so that is what i will be writing about from now on and hopefully be better about writing about something important.
