WHICH GAME SHOULD I GET IN MAY?

Alright guys so pretty simple post here. Which game do you think I should get this month, if any? You see, I kind of narrowed down three I'm very interested in and considering I can't really spend that much right now, I can only afford one. So I want your guy's opinion!

First off we have Red Dead Redemption which is created by the same team as GTA IV. Now I haven't played a wild west game in decades and this could be a really awesome change of pace! I also heard it's open world and I love that! So I'm really liking this!

Secondly is 3D Dot game heroes. Very retro and a lot like Zelda. I know it'll be rare soon and I want a copy before it goes extinct, but I don't know. Maybe I could be holding off on this for now.

And last but not least is Skate 3! I love the first one, Loved the demo, it's a lot better than Skate 2. I haven't played a good skateboarding game in a long time so this would also be a change! Multiplayer on this looks almost as good as Red Dead Redemption though.

So there you have it! You heard how I feel (briefly) so now you tell me which one I should get! If you have any other suggestions please let me know in the comment section below! Thank you.

Post 13 - Challenging Myself

CHALLENGING MYSELF

Well it seems like almost every two or three months I always start challenging myself again. More recently I told myself I was going to Platinum Grand Theft Auto IV and well, I'm REALLY close. Just as of lately, I told myself that I wanted to get into shape, and when I say get into shape I mean like Cloud's sort of build from Advent Children kind of shape! Being a gamer, the out doors is something I normally only see when I'm hanging out with friends or going to work or get something, but as of now I'm going to have to start jogging, lifting weights, doing sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups all that wonderful stuff. The goal is, if in two months I can manage to accomplish that I'll be getting myself an Ipod Touch.



Now I've never really been the kind of guy who needed an MP3 player with me to be happy, but the Ipod touch is starting to look like too much to resist. So I'm really hoping some of my friends will jump on board and help me out with this challenge because I really need it!

Aside from that when it comes to challenging myself, I want to learn a variety of new songs and techniques on the guitar, Hybrid Phoenix if you're listening - please help me out! I could really use your expertise! I just started learning Bo Burnham's "A Love Ballad" to make use of the Capo I just got but still I'm not progressing as quickly as I would like too.

In the end, everything else seems to be going alright. I still got a lot of loose ends to tie off but we'll see how that unfolds soon. As for you guys, tell me how you've all been and if there's anything you challenge yourselves with! It's always cool to hear about other people's life challenges! Can't wait to hear from you guys!

Post 12 - Two Quick Things

TWO QUICK THINGS

Alright, so first off I'm REALLY excited about Fallout: New Vegas. I must admit, when it was first announced I was skeptical but now I can't WAIT!!! It just looks so amazing! There's all sorts of websites on Google that actually have screens of the game now so make sure to go check them out and if anything new gets released let me know!

Secondly, I just found out how to get out of the demo area in Skate 3! So go check it out! It's in the featured video this week, so big props to achievement hunter for that! Until next time guys, keep on gaming! There will also be a new video this weekend. Sorry for the wait.

Post 11 - Fallout New Vegas News

FALLOUT: NEW VEGAS NEWS



Alright, so like all of you already know, I'm a friggin' HUGE Fallout 3 fan. To me Fallout 3 is the equivalent if not even better than Oblivion, and for me, that's saying a lot! Normally a game of Bethesda's quality ends up taking years if not a decade to design and complete. However thanks to the amazing developers over at Obsideon we won't have to wait ten years to get our next taste of Fallout. Due to release this fall is Fallout: New Vegas.

Now ever since this game started development a lot's remained secret. However, I managed to find out a little bit about this title that might interest you. So please allow me to tell you.

STORY

Apparently Fallout: New Vegas takes place two or three years after Fallout 3 but has no connection to it what so ever. It actually ties in with Fallout 1 and 2 more than Fallout 3. The story follows you, a courier who was traveling the Mojave dessert and left for dead in some un-marked grave hole. You're soon dug out by Victor ( A Robot TV ) and rescued by Doctor Mitchell who helps you through out at least the starting of the game. Now this much I know, as for the rest, it's a mystery.

GAMEPLAY

Gameplay will be the same as Fallout 3 with some slight differences. Karma will return only to be paired with a new alignment gauge known as reputation (from Fallout 2). How the reputation works, I'm not sure. V.A.T.S will return same as the last time around but with added moves for Melee items, such as "FORE!!!" for a golf club. For the most dedicated players HARDCORE mode will offer a variety of new challenges to face while playing. Such as: Ammo will have weight to it. You will be required to drink water in order to stay hydrated. Stimpacks heal over time rather than right away and a couple more slight differences. Over-all the game seems promising and I truly can't wait.

Aside from that I managed to find some previously un-released screens and concept art to share with you guys! I hope you enjoy it, and really hope that this fall you all will be picking up Fallout: New Vegas.
