A Little Battle in a Nice Field (Or Why You Should Go Out and Play Garry's Mod

Woke up this morning and while waiting for Episode 2 to install because someone really smart would have let it download in the night. While waiting I decided to play a little Garry's Mod and play on my favorite map Onslaught V2 to build a awesome fort. Well in the photos above you can see my awesome fort idea kinda fell through because on certain objects when being spawned crashed my game. No matter what this is some pictures from the grand battle that took place while most of you were sleeping. Tsk tsk, see what you miss when you sleep.



The fort well turned into a more pyramid form but it worked effectively from cutting me off from being mauled by zombies. I actually had tons of turret surrounding the base but well I forgot how easy they can be tipped over, though they did help kill a few zombies with me. Everyone on screen is NPC who helped with the same cover as the turret but were less inclined to shoot me as well. After a bit the game got a little hectic.



As you can see by the end of the map it pretty much is hell trying to survive. I actually forgot to have God Mode while taking this photo so right after I took it I came flying down. Another strike for Ross and his smarts. If you have not played Garry's Mod yet and these photos don't even stir up some deep down want to play the game then you must be dead. Since it is a pretty good bet that dead people arn't reading this blog as most live people don't I'm going to guess I'm safe. Though if this is a blog that somehow dead people are drawn too as well, I will make sure to take some dead Alyx photo's for you.

Total War: Rome II

Total War: Rome II  So it took almost 2 years but I think I finally like this game. It's amazing to me because Rome Total War probably up there in most played game. The hours I have put into the game, and the nights spent trying to take over the known world are so many.  The memory of playing the demo for the first time sticks in my brain in the original game. Taking my force and attacking from the tress in a surprise maneuver just had me my teenager mind lost in a sea of tactics and battles. From that point it was nights spent avoiding homework going "just one more turn" as my armies marches across the classical world. There was something to a game that balanced a great real time war scenario with a simple yet fun turn based system that had you stuck once you started. Years went by, and more Total War games came out, but slowly they just stopped being the Total War games I loved. Looking at them I loved certain parts but the dark era of gunpowder nev...

Sins of a Solar Empire

Yep, the game I looked so forward to is finally out and its a massive...(in anticipation I decide to keep you waiting) amazing. This has been a game to wait for this year, and should win itself a few awards. From massive epic scale battles to easy but interesting empire management, the game is a killer. You start with one planet, but have the option of conquering solar systems of up to about 20 planets and even to a galaxy which can hold 5 solar systems. This means massive empires but no worries on to much micro management, the game has a simple yet still fun way of managing you empire from a side bar which shows all planets and everything inside them. With such a large area to make you empire and for it to keep fun this game will suck away all your free time. It being an rts you will find a hard time to find a place to stop. Trust me, I will try to play this game for only an hour and then 4 hours later and probably some sort of social event gone by, I am still playing and conquering ...

A new Sheriff in town

Hey Folks, won't even go into how long it has been but as tradition, a new gaming machine means a new blog post. Normally I would post if I had upgraded my main computer with something amazing. However my old 2010 iMac is still a beast so I have yet to need to do anything with it. In the mean time Macbook Air and a Macbook Pro have done well to fill any other voids I might have. This being said today I got probably the first time, a fully operational gaming machine. It is not like a  typical gaming machine however. I don't have a huge case, or 2 GPU with i7 whatever in it. Instead i got an Alienware Alpha. This thing takes up less space then a Xbox, or PS4 yet punches even harder. It has a 2 GB Nvidia card in it paired with 8 GB of Ram, and a 250 SSD. It only has a i3 processor but this is a machine meant for games. It is not meant to destroy frame rates, or edit movies however compared to the 2010 1 GB ATI card in my iMac it can beat the pants off of it for sure. I have yet ...
