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.

Feeling strange today.

I had a strange panic attack, a few hours ago. Have a decade ago, when I was around 18, 19 years old. I had a high anxiety problem and would make me have violent panic attacks. Tonight was different there wasn't nothing bothering me. I worked a normal day at work, and got off and smoke a joint with a friend. Shortly after, I started to feel light headed. I got a ride home and tried to lay down to rest but couldn't control my breathing. Like I would forgot to breath and found it hard to keep a good air flow. Soon I was feeling very faint and had a very high heart rate.

I thought I might be having a heart attack! I never felt this way before and I have getting very dizzy and confused. I got my dad to drive me to the hospital and it was really hard to caught my breathing and my heart felt like it is pounding out of my chest. They laid me down and took my vitals and attached some things to me. They did seemed like it was life threatening, this did calm me down quite a bit. I was still having a really hard time breathing and I was feeling like fainting. I was shaking violently, but once the Doctor came in I calmed down. I was still shaking and my breathing was still uncontrolled.

He put me on oxygen, and gave me two small white pills that dissolves on your tongue. I used to use them when my Anxiety Disorder was really bad. I have been really good for years. Anyway, after taking the pills and having oxygen I really calmed down. I was very happy to be feeling better. It's is always embarrassing leaving the hospital after a panic attack.

After all that I would like to play some games to distract my wondering mind. My friend that smoked that joint with me before my panic attack, was telling me about WWII online. It is a MMO first person shooter. I guess it is free at first to get you hook. But I do think you have to buy a member ship after the trail. By the sound of it, there is a full blown war going on. There is a winner how ever long that takes to finish the war. It sounds like it takes forever and there is a three day grace period between war. It is a PC game which is out of my element in gaming.

I am in the process of Downloading DC Universe for the PS3. I am very interested in the second MMORPG for a console. I never did play Final Fantasy XI Online but I did hear from lots of people that it is better then World of Warcraft. I am not a MMO player and this really out of my element. Another game I am downloading right now is, Call of Duty Classic. With all the COD coming out lately, it would be nice to do a post on all of them.

Well I think that is all for now, Game on kids, R.

Update 12:51AM 23/06/2011

Well, this is interesting. Google has just cut off my monetization on my AdSense account, because of Adult Content. Well golly fuck me running, do it get my first cheque? It was issued a few days ago but with the Canada Post strike and me cutting my finger off, I haven't received anything yet. I am not going to change my blog, to fit Google's standards. Fuck that noise.

I wasn't making shit off of it anyways, plus I have been working way to much to worry about it. The shitty thing is that I haven't had much time to play games. There is about four really good games I am playing right now, it is very hard to keep up with them.

Anyways I was waiting for an hour long update to finish, so I could play so Homefront. And it is finally finished, I hope to actually get to some writing soon. For now I have to try and enjoy these little moments of gaming. Peace out, O. 

HomeFront First Thoughts

I was in the pawn shop the other day looking at television sets. I am in the market for two Tvs, I need a newer one with HDMI imputs and high definition. The other can just be a old projection TV, I need one for older game systems. The pawn shop in town is a huge rip off, I could of bought the same Tvs at the grocery store for just as much cash. The whole thing wasn’t a waste though, I did pick up Homefront for 25 bucks.

When I first heard about Homefront, I seen the TV commercial. It boasted better then Call of Duty online multiplayer. This is a pretty bold statement. I do have to say though, it is a very interesting and fun online experience. I has a completely different feel then Call of Duty, open of an open ground warfare.

I check out some of the story, and I am sure Korean isn’t happy about it. I is set in the future rough 50 years, America is invaded but the Koreans. I didn’t to deep in to the campaign mode. I am not very interested. The story seems cool enough, but the multiplayer is what I am worried about.

After a few games online, I still wasn’t sure about what I thought about it. It was hard, at first, I found. The larger maps and lobbies, I likes. Teamwork is very important to doing well in the game, and experience point can be spent in game for upgrades and special weapons. You can also spawn as vehicles use your experience points.

IS it better then Call of Duty? I am not sure, I like Call of Duty better still. Homefront was a whole different dynamic to it and I find it is much better for team play. I have been play with my friend and we are doing really good covering each other. Well that is all for now, I am going to rest this hand a bit. Game on kids. N.
