This is sort of a test post for embedding videos, I have used HTML for my IAM:BMEzine profile. Still, I barely know the basics. I know HTML is the way to go if you want absolute control over what goes on your page. But anyway I made a few videos of some DOOM deathmatches using skulltag. The video quality is fucking terrible and I was getting my ass kicked. The set up I am using is the lowest of low budget and anyone with a computer can do it, I play either DOOM or some emulator, and use manycam to feed my game window to blogtv.com. I am going to try a few other techniques so I don't need to record my blogTV session. This will most likely let skulltag run a lot smoother.

DOOM Online
I decided to uninstall Skulltag and look around online for help, the solution was simple. All you to do is make a file, name it something like Doom or something a like. Then extract the zip into this folder and also install it into that folder. Move any wads files in to this folder and everything should work out fine. Use to Doomseeker to search for lobbies and create your own. Skulltag allows several mods, skins, sounds, and a cool announcer which can also be modded. Most lobbies are created with a combation of wads and you will need them all to play. Don't worry the server uses a thing called wadfinder, it searches online for your miss pwads to play. Sometimes it takes awhile, other time it's pretty quick.Modded wads are really common to find and I got into a really cool Black Ops themed level. It is done really well. You can choose premade classes with different perks or make your own. The weapons are really well done, and every one of them has a zoom mode. I found this really unique for a DOOM mod, never seen this before. I tried to record a few sessions with ManyCam, but it was just black with sounds, that blew chunks. I played that for a while and moved on, I tried to go back but couldn't find it again. I don't know if wadfinder actually downloads them permanently, or not. I looked but no dice.

| A Megaman Wad |
Everyone should get Skulltag up and running and start fag the shit out of everything, and I am thinking about doing a splatterhouse wad I think that would be amazing. Game on kids, Peace Out.
SkullTag
Okay, I am not much of a PC gamer, but it so happens to be that one of my favorite game originated on the PC. Doom, I love Doom in any form. Right now I am trying to figure out to run Skulltag or ZDOOM, I can play single player and every other mode except multiplayer. And whats the point of Doom without multiplayer? I got the iwads and the servers, just can't figure out how to get multiplayer going. I can even get the doomseeker application going. I have look around on the internet and everywhere is saying as long as the iwad of doom or doom 2 is in the same file as skulltag is should work.
It was enough trouble getting my sony dualschock 3 controller to work for it, single is still fun enough to play around on. That was almost a full day project, pretty simple thought. Just download a driver mod and install in your driver list. Getting to your driver list was a challenge for sure. I am not computer whiz, but you have to get you computer to run in test mode to enable driver changes. Don't ask me how I managed that one, I just watched some youtube videos like any other thing I need to do on the computer.
I watched a couple videos on youtube for the Skulltag doom server, but it was what everyone else was telling me just make sure the iwads are in the same folder. I only think I can think of now is to delete the skulltag and wads and redownload them. Maybe if I start from scratch it will work out better. If anyone has any idea how to fix this let me know.

What a night
First off, let me say I do drugs, kinda always have. As the late great Hunter S Thompson said, " I hate to advocate drugs or liquor, violence, insanity to anyone. But in my case it's worked." And i my case it sort of worked. Hard as I try, I alway find self exploration of the mind is the best for drugs.
When ask what my drug of choice i, I reply, cocaine. I can't lie, if I was rich as shit, I would do it everyday. For video games, when I do cocainem it always reminds me of bust a move. I am pretty sure we had it for playstation original. Me and my buddy used to live in this trailer and use to do a lot of coke. Whenever we were tweaked out, we would play bust a move like it was our job.
For drugs and video games that was the top of the list. The next was sonic and mushrooms, I loved that game when I was young like 15. Run around in warp speed only to run into a badnik and lose all your rings. Now that is trippy as shit.
One time I remembered, my friend in a wheelchair got a shit ton of shrooms. We played rush 2049 for SEGA dreamcast, I am sure that is the trippiest game of all time. All I am trying to say is that drugs and video games go together. Pretty much weed goes hand in hand, like white on rise, for video games.
Just figured a little background would explain my post a little before, anything you read is under the influence of weed or worse. So please be patience with my work.

Undead Nightmare
Today’s review is going to be a short one considering that, It is a add on. Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare, doesn’t feel like a add on though. It feels like a whole new game. You don’t have to complete Red Dead Redemption to enjoy Undead Nightmare, but it does help you understand some jokes and back story. I am a huge zombie fan so lets get started.
Rockstar does a great job representing classic B rated zombie movies. It starts out like any zombie movie, no explanation on why there are zombies. John Marston is at home with his family, when Uncle returns looking a little under the weather. Ok he is a full blown zombie and infects John’s Wife and Son. John being the naive fucker that he is, hog ties them and heads out to find a doctor.
Once you head into Blackwater to find a doctor, you find the town over run with zombies, this is you first challenge. The challenges different then Red Dead Redemption, you can’t buy safe houses. You have to clear a town of Zombies to “sleep” there. Also there is no gang hideouts, they are replaced with graveyards. In graveyards you have to clear it out just like a gang hideout. There is many differences, there is no money for there is no need for it, also no honor. You can shoot anyone with no negative repercussions. You can choose to help survivors but giving them ammo or choose to kill them and take the ammo for yourself.
There is no camping but you can quick travel from safe houses to other towns. I actually don’t like doing this considering you could miss out on mini missions on the way to your destination. These are helpful for getting items like horse pills, medicine and other things you can’t buy because there is no stores. Ammo is also worth it’s weight in gold. Keeping ammo stocks full can be pretty tough at times and it’s advised to save as much as possible.
Normal zombie rules apply in this game, destroy the brain by any means. You dead eye meter runs down slower then in Redemption which is extremely helpful. There is also a few different kinds of zombies, they almost look like they have been ripped off right from Left 4 Dead. The four kind consist of the normal zombies, a fast crawler type, a spitter and a fat fucker that can mow you down with ease. All of them are pretty easily disposed of, but the crawler can be a pain in the ass.

| These fuckers piss me off |
Zombies aren’t the only mythical creatures around there are others, I am going to tell you play and find out yourself, I really enjoyed what I found. The animals are also zombies and it scares the shit out of me, the animals can fuck you up quickly. The cougars really are a pain in the ass, there really isn’t hunting but you can collect teeth and hearts from the undead animals. My first encounter with undead animals didn't end well I wasted all my ammo and got eating by wolves.
Some of my favourite characters reappear, namely my favourite one Seth, the grave robber. He actually seems pretty stoked that the dead are walking the earth. This is some of the reasons you should beat the first game then play this one. You will understand the character better. It is not a squeal because the end of Redemption doesn’t match up with the beginning of Undead Nightmare. But I don’t want to give any spoiler, but it doesn’t matter if the games match up.
There is one extra online game mode and it’s a survival mode. You fight never ending waves of zombie attacks. This is pretty fun and entertaining. This is also a great was to level up fast. Other then that, you can also change your character to a zombie for free roam and some other game modes. With those said there isn’t many other changes to online play, which I don’t mind. Maybe doing some graveyard clearing or making town safe would be pretty sweet online.
I really don’t know what else to say about this game, it is really enjoy blasting zombie skulls wide open. The story is nice and twisted, I like how the night has a weird yellow green tint to the sky. It’s pretty cool that you can ride a undead horse, it is hard to control but doesn’t run out of stamina. I don’t suggest riding these all the time but sometime they get you out of a pinch. If you are done with Red Dead Redemption, Undead Nightmare is a kick ass add on. One of the strangest add on I have ever seen. It really feels like a whole new game.Make sure you to download Undead Nightmare and have fun fucking up zombies left and right.

Fuck Quick Scopes
I have been playing a little of Modern Warfare 2 the last couple of days. Let me just say fuck quick scopes, fuck it in its dirty ass. I don't get the appeal of it all, if you want people to die in one hit, play some hardcore or something. Or is the fact people can push two buttons in recession to get a one shot kill. It is fucking stupid. Do whenever you want I guess.
My brother only plays with the noobtube and actually he does okay with it. Sucks ass with everything else. Shit, sometimes I like to have a riot shield and a throwing knife. These sort of tactics piss people off. Actually if you want some good videos of pissing people off, check out this Machinima video series. It's really good and has one of my favorite piss off moves, the corner trap. Try that out, next time one of your teammates is bitching about your gameplay.
Another video series I like on youtube is Cr1TiKaL's channel. He has a video series entitled Fun Tactics, it is about some funny shit you can do on Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops. Mostly I like this other videos of retro games or games that aren't that popular with gameplay commentary. They are hilarious, his sense of humour is almost dry and he tell wonderful stories so check that out.
Okay, back to my Call of Duty experience, I am sucking at Modern Warfare 2 lately. I think I like Black Ops better to tell you the truth. I like the levels better, the weapons, the currency system used. I love the customizable emblems and I have seen some fucking sweet ones. Right now mine is the stepchild snowboards logo. I got one compliment so far, it's sort of a smaller snowboard company. I really miss Black Ops, I only borrowed it for a few months from a friend, hell I even bought the new map pack. Sometime I will get it again, might wait till the next Call of Duty is out, so I can get it cheap.

New Releases April 19th 2011
This Tuesday has a couple big releases, mainly SOCOM 4 and Mortal Kombat!!!!!! There is a also a theme I noticed. Remakes and squeals are in this week. There is only one original game coming out Tuesday and it sounds like it isn’t a new idea. We must have thought of everything and have to resort to reusing old ideas, or was it that these games there so good that we needed more. Game series are getting very big lately with Final Fantasy having over 45 games including I through XIII plus side stories and spin offs. Reminds me of porn, like back door sluts 9, really?… there was eight before that?
Mortal Kombat (PS3/ Xbox 360)
Developers: NetherRealm Studios
Publishers: Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment
April 19th 2011
I am super fucking pumped about this game, and I have been arguing all weekend with my friend about it. He likes how the last few were, completely free 3D movement and sidestepping. He also liked how they could change weapons and stances. We both played the demo, he just wasn’t impressed. My defence was pretty much all the hype and buzz around the game. The most I was pumped about going back 2Dish side scroller.
I think most of the games in the series didn’t do well outside this realm. This isn’t the only change to Mortal Kombat, this game has been completely redone. Nearly all the original characters are there and not many of the new ones but some are make it. One of the cool things was that every character has his own movements and characteristics, so it’s not like Reptile, Sub-Zero and Scorpion are just the same ninja with different colors.
The environments are straight out of the first two original games and look fantastic. The combat is good and feel natural, combos flow nicely, and contributes to a special meter. This special meter has three bars to fill, the first is a combo breaker, the second is a enhanced special attack, and the third is a special combo called a X Ray move. This is fucking cool, as the name suggest, as you do powerful attacks in your combo, you see bones breaking and organs rupture. At the end of a round the fighter looks really beat up and at the end of a fight, one of the fighters is not getting up. The fatalities are fucking insane and must guarantee a solid Mature rating. Multiplayer has a few options, there is tag team mode. Tag teaming has a cool way of having one player start a combo with one player and end it with another. Also there is online multiplayer, I heard of a few game moods, but one caught my attention. That was some sort of round robin style tournament, some what of a fight club feel. A group of players watch two others fight it out and after someone fights the winner. It reminds me of friends at home passing around controllers and calling “next”. NetherRealm said they worked hard on the game’s online gameplay and I hope it shows. Mortal Kombat is a must have for any fan of the series and still holds up for a newbie. Make sure to get this one.
SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy Seals (PS3)
Developers: Zipper Interactive
Publishers: Sony Computer Entertainment
April 19th 2011
I am pretty excited for SOCOM 4, I have been playing the multiplayer beta for the last few weeks and I wasn’t very impressed, but it was fun and entertaining. I did enjoy it, but it was too much like a third person version of MAG. It was pretty much a facelift on MAG, but still a solid game. I was playing a lot of Black Ops before and the third person was a good change of pace and the added cover and shooting techniques were great. I was fucking terrible at this game though, the different zooming modes confused me. Handling the camera I thought was difficult, and the fact that, the players names shrunk down to a diamond when they got far enough away. The screennames period, got in the way, but this was a Beta test, right? I am sure they have fixed plenty. Using cover and combat game tactics to get multi kills is almost, more satisfying then Call of Duty. Using the Playstation Move was weird but not too bad, I am sure it would be kick ass with the Playstation Sharpshooter. SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy Seals is almost a must buy.
Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection (PSP)
Developers: Square Enix
Publishers: Square Enix
April 19th 2011
A compilation game consisting of remakes of Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. “Interlude” is sort of a short episode linking the two games together. I loved Final Fantasy IV, or was it Final Fantasy II….wait…or was it Final Fantasy III or wasn’t that really Final Fantasy VI. Fuck Final Fantasy is confusing.
Prince of Persia Classic Trilogy HD (PS3)
Developers: Ubisoft Montreal
Publishers: Ubisoft
April 19th 2011
Get all three Prince of Persia games in one! I never really liked the Prince of Persia series, seemed liked a watered down version of God of War. I do have respect for Prince of Persia though, it is a good game. It’s a spin off of 1989 Apple 2 game of the same name. I would consider picking this one up if it was a good price, the fans must be stoked.
Portal 2 (PS3/ Xbox 360)
Developers: Valve Corporation
Publishers: Value Corporation
April 19th 2011
I heard lots about Portal, don’t know why I never played it. I am sure the squeal will be talked about just as much. Portal 2 adds more features to this highly acclaimed platformer. Plus, the smartest move they made in this squeal was making the heroine less clothed and thus sexier.
Conduit 2 (Wii)
Developers: High Voltage Software
Publishers: SEGA
April 19th 2011
A first person shooter for Wii, I am kind of intrigued for this one. I am not much of a Wii player and never played The Conduit. So I can’t say much about the squeal Conduit 2. I am thinking about finding a cheap Wii somewhere but I can’t actually see myself paying full price for a new Wii game.
The Kore Gang (Wii)
Developers: Zionk Games, Unique Development Studio, SnapDragon Games
Publishers: Pixonauts, Games Foundation, Atari
April 19th 2011
Apparently this game has been passed around from publishers and developers for roughly ten years. Originally The Kore Gang was set for the X box in 2003. That is quite a delay, I hope in eight years they put a shit ton of work into it. The gimmick of this game is that you can change between the three antagonists to use different abilities. This is the key to solving puzzles in this jump and run action adventure game. By the general look of this game, it might fly beneath my radar.
Section 8: Prejudice (X box Live Arcade)
Developers: TimeGate Studios
Publishers: TimeGate Studios
April 20th 2011
Section 8 is a first person shooter using the unreal engine. Of course, Section 8: Prejudice is the squeal. Unlike the first, Prejudice will be a download-only and promises to have more content then the first. I don’t fully understand this concept, but ok, sure. An Playstation Network version will be coming out this summer.
