User Accounts October 6, 2008 at 11:38pm |
| For any wondering, I removed the user section of the site, I decided that maintaining user accounts was a little overkill. Your comments are still there, and you can still comment, the creation of a profile just has been removed, if you have any thoughts, let me know. |

 | Zero Punctuation Takes on GTA IV May 14, 2008 1:36pm in gaming |
As predicted, Zero Punctuation reviewed GTA IV. The game that I've been hooked on for 2 weeks actually seemed to survive with only some minor scathes compared to other games that he tore to bits. |

| Grand Theft Auto IV and Other Things May 06, 2008 12:34pm in life |
Despite my initial skepticism on GTA IV, that's pretty much all I've been playing over the past week. Grand Theft Auto IV is a lot of fun and is notably better than the previous iterations even though I can't wholly put my finger on why. The open world part is fun, and the story so far is done pretty well. And let us not forget the multiplayer. So if you ever see me on, feel free to join up or invite me to play some multiplayer. I will say the game is very addicting. I finally was able to get my music collection of my dead hard drive so I was definitely happy about that. The thought of losing the collection I've built up over the last 5 years was definitely scary so I'm glad I now have a backup solution in place as well as my now 1.6TB worth of space on my server. All I now need to do with my server is populate my SVN trees. I'm thinking I should have gotten NASA to recover my data. After what they did with the one hard drive on board Columbia, they should be able to get data off anything. |

| Why GTA IV Does Not Matter to Me January 30, 2008 11:40pm in gaming |
GTA IV just recently got its release date of April 29 and a lot of people are a buzz about it. To me though, I can't say I'm that excited about it. I've played GTA 3, Vice City, and Liberty City Stories, as well as GTA2, and none of them really held my attention and interest. Each game that came out, the same thing would happen. I would get the game, play for maybe 2 hours then uninstall it. The first 45 minutes or so I would actually play the game normally and try and complete the missions. After that, I would do what most people do, wreck havoc in the city doing exactly what Jack Thompson hates about the game, kill everything that moves. That holds my attention for maybe 30 minutes, and then the game is dead to me. So why should I spend $60 on a game that just interests me for about 2 hours? GTA IV's graphics do look good, and it has nothing to do with the game in itself. The game does what its supposed to do well. It does fit the game's style and some people can play those games for hours or days on end, but to me the game just gets boring after a short while. I'm normally always about replay value when I buy games. If a game will only get me a couple hours of fun, its just not worth it to me, especially with today's prices of $50-60 a pop. I'm not completely against the game so much that I won't buy it no matter what, but I won't be looking at reviews to decide on my purchase. With this one, it will be friends' experience that will pretty much be the deciding factor. If I'm going to get this game, it will have to add A LOT to the game in itself to the point that I will be completely convinced they added enough to get more gameplay in to be worth it. Are you gonna get it on relase? |
