Something with a Taste

My title as ytou have been able to tell means nothing at all, because right now the mind has gotten fucked up. I just saw to myself the last episode of Battlestar Galactica for this year. All I can say is...nothing actully because that how amazing this episode was. The part I love is that it could have been easy to end the show on that episode, granted alot of people would have been outraged but in the end it could have worked. The message it could have sent to the viewers if ended their would have been massive, granted I am happy there is more because alot of loose ends are not tied up but the overall arch of Earth is done. I give credit to the makers of the show, because when I was watching the episode and they were going to earth, I didnt really feel exitment for them, or a sudden end to things just a show. But then came a shot, which was of the ships sitting above in Earth orbit with the sun. It just was so well done and for me at least feel a sudden attachement to finding Earth. I...

Battlefield: Bad Company

Well it looks like I found myself a new online addiction, and its name is Battlefield: Bad Company. This has captured me in its evil grasp, and damn it all I can’t blow a hole through the hand. Granted it is only the demo of the game, it, and I say this with all the credibility of a gamer I can (which is probably nothing) it is the new Call of Duty 4. I say this because Bad Company is Call of Duty 4 but with more humour and lots of destructible environments. If no one has heard of this game, then get your head out of your asses and do it...or keep reading cause I’m going to explain the game. Bad Company is the first game by dice that actually focuses on a single play in the battlefield series. Yes you could say Battlefield: Modern Conflict has a single player but it clearly was second place in importance with Dice. This game is hilarious, if you have seen the trailers you know what I mean, and even playing a few of the levels showed me the hilariousness of the dialogue such as “I’m go...

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss

Well folks, my trusty campanion computer has finally died. After 6 years of working and fidling I have to put it into my graveyard of computer parts. I have yet no idea why it has stopped working, it just froze after a recent battle with a virus and luckily going to University has its benifits. But it will be sad to say goodbye to my computer it has been around along time. Now let me bore you with the histroy and starting of my computer, and stop readng if don't feel like drooling of sleep. My earlier gaming machine before the late computer was a crappy old pc, that could run starcraft and half life barly. So comes a birthday and I ask for a new video card. My parents get my a nice shiny one too, but when we try it in the computer it won't fit, then we try my mom's computer which had been a bit newer and it won't fit. My father returns the video card and buys a lesser one but one that might work...but it doesn't. Finally my dad gives me his computer which was newer ...

I Revist a Good Friend

so a few weekends ago, I got to play an old favorite game of mine Empire Earth. It was a bit of a under-stated game when it came out but has stayed firm in my heart for a grand RTS. The reasons why this game is receiving my high praises is because of one major component: Grand Scale. This game serves you up not a feeling of fighting a detachment from an army fighting in a battle that is only part of a war. This game gives you a feeling of building an empire and waging war in the same notions of Sins of A Solar Empire. The game offers such a immense scale, that maps take massive amounts of time to cross in the same liking of another favorite Supreme Commander. Its possible to have massive engagements also because of the high unit cap, which when in 2 player can mean over 500 units per side. Granted when playing a massive 8 players game this unit cap of 1200 is split 8 ways. I take for example of awesomeness this game gave me, a battle that has made me immersed back into this grand RTS. ...
