DC Universe Online.

I was just looking through my shit and I noticed I didn't publish some posts. I quickly posted the one about Magic the Gathering. I swear I published that on, with pictures and tags. Right now I am too lazy to do that so you miss out.

Now to this post, I have been play DC Universe Online. First of all, I am not really a MMO player. I have only played Diablo. I tried World of Warcraftm it just wasn't my kind of game. I am not into that Fantasy, wizards, goblins and dragons shit. Super Heroes? That sounds more like a game for me. It really got my mind going, thinking about different super power one could have, and different looks that would be cool.

The options for the customization of your character is pretty limited but there is enough to get a little creative. I was expecting a lot more for super powers though. It really doesn't mean to matter what kind of powers you pick, as of now it seems. For the controls, right now I am finding it a little weird, you need to switch between close movement and long range movement modes.

One thing that pisses me off, is that I can't find many people to play with. Everyone is so strong, high levels. I picked the villain side, now strong super heroes just fly by while in the middle of a mission. Fucking sucks, and the city is so massive. I was shocked. A lot of the time it is a pain in the ass to get to your waypoint. I am still very early in the game and have master the confusing systems used through out the game. Maybe I just went to far out of my comfort zome with this MMORPG. Who the fuck knows. 

Magic the Gathering 2012

Magic the Gathering is a card game I have been playing since I was a child. My older step brother was really big into it. Magic, is a card game, in which player battle each other. Player use "spells" to cast in creatures or um well spells to cause damage to an opposing player. Said player can block using his or her creatures and spells. It reminds me of a dungeons and dragons of card games, but not as complicated.

Magic the Gathering is made by Wizards of the Coast. You are almost guaranteed to heard of Pokemon cards, which are also made by Wizards if the Coast. Pokemon cards were huge and completely in the limelight. Magic not so much.  Magic was more underground, where kids played tournaments in small backstreet comic stores. I collected Pokemon cards, but played Magic the Gathering.

I haven't thought about Magic for the last few years. The last time I played it was in 2005 I think. Just recently I found out that Magic had a new video game out, well a whole new series. Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Plainwalkers. There is three versions, 2010, 2011, and the newest one 2012. These aren't the first video games Magic have put one but the only one that are actually good. I haven't played many of them but I remember they weren't very good.

I really enjoy the Duels of the Plainwalkers series. The gameplay controls are quite simple, and the games have a great tutorial system. Online is pretty sick, I play with my good friend all the time, who is actually a very talent Magic player. One feature I really like, is if you have a PS eye camera. You can have a little live stream of yourself instead of a character picture.

If you are a fan at all of the card game, I think it is a good game too get. Atleast if you are a Playstation Plus member go and get the first one for free. It is well worth paying nothing, and I found that people still play it online. I like it, well a gotta go. It is three in the morning and I work my ninth day in a row tomorrow. Peace out guys. R.

Holy fucking fuck fuck

Ok I just worked fucking 11 hours, and the only thing that was keeping sane at work as that I got to finally play DC Universe Online, well it is still downloading, it was been around 60 to 70 hours of download time already and it is finally at like 92 percent. Fucking ninety two percent!

What the fuck! I am paying good money for solid internet. Well Telus, please put on some lipstick. I like to get kissed before I get fucked! I thought buying a new 70 dollar router would fix my internet woes. Fuck that, it did shit. I really don't know whats going on. My internet is shit and I am stuck with it for another two years. Fucking contracts. Well I guess I got this shitty notebook computer for signing up.

If I have time I would call Telus, but I tend to work most of my day and maybe have an hour or two to myself. Hard to get shit done, I have been trying to move out of my dads but don't have enough time to look for a place. Every place I call about or go see, get rented out before I have a chance to get money from the bank.

All I want to do it play a video game but I don't know if I want to stop downloading DC online, but I think slaughtering some fucked up demon creature things on Spatterhouse. Spatterhouse is a cool series that spans the entire life of video games, that never got a good rep. I have a memory from my childhood, but we will save that for next time, if I ever find time to write it. 

Uncharted 3 Beta

I downloaded the Beta for Uncharted 3 last night. It is a strange 3rd person style multiplayer. Really different from the first person gaming I am used to. Okay I play tons of 3rd person games, but not usually their multiplayer. In a 3rd person you can utilize the controls a lot better, in the terms of getting cover and climbing around.

I hope we are all familiar with the Uncharted series, and have played some of the story mode. Uncharted is a wonderful and visually pleasing game. You play as a treasure hunter who can't seem to stay out of trouble with gangs and other such villains. Hunting treasure is not easy as I thought it was because, it seems you have to be an expert free climber. This is extremely useful in multiplayer.

 Using cover, is a little different since you can shoot from cliffs and on the side of a window ledge. Almost anything can be climbed on or used as cover. Aiming and shooting was a little difficult at first. I am starting to get used to it and actually winning some games now. I am writing this as I play and take turns with my brother. Sometimes it takes forever for matchmaking to get a lobby going, so it gives me time to collect my thoughts and write.

I few things I don't like are how long the matchmaking is at times and the amount of damage you need to dish out for kills. I just watched my brother shoot a player in perfectly in the face five times before he died. The controls can be kind hard and there is lots of times that you will climb up the wrong side of a wall or something.

 I just experienced one of the coolest things in online gaming. In team deathmatch you play as one side trying to board a enemy occupied plane taking off on a run way. You have to leap from moving flatbed trucks to the back cargo hatch or side door of the plane. After a few minutes it takes off and the battle continues in a cargo yard. Every minute or so one team will get a peak or some sort.

There is a few different game modes. Team deathmatch which I just explained. Normal deathmatch, three team death match which consists of three, two man teams, I like it but my brother doesn't. Also a hardcore with no perks. Also there is a Co op Arena mode, which I am checking out right now. And fuck is it taking forever...

Well I played a quick game of Co op. It is an onslaught of endless bad guys and you try to kill as many as possible before dying for cash. Cash in the game is used as experience points, to level up and purchase boosters (perks). You play as a team of three and once every one in your team has died you move on to the next wave. Wave don't seem to get harder or anything. I really didn't get into it too much.

All in all multiplayer is pretty fun and isn't a complete flop thus far. I am really excited tio play the full game. If you complete challenges in the beta, unlocked things in the full game. Playstation user get a extra things, like an avatar for example, for downloading the beta. Go out and get the beta and have some fun before the game actually comes out.
