Stupid Video Game Addiction

 UPDATE: Removed by the big bad media company. Don't know why they don't like the funnies.

I don't enjoy Twilight, but i still had to play through this cause it was 8-bit. Damn you interWebZ!

A new age for Comics?

Been a while since I posted, I know, but school and such, been meaning to post something earlier but turns out something big happened today, so what better day to start up than today!

E3 is going on!

...so you know. Leave me alone. Cause this is happening...

Maybe just for the Time Warp

Take a look at that. Seriously. Look at it. Ubisoft is really a brilliant publishing team. Following the minimal effort it took to make Just Dance sell like a bajillion dollars. They have decided to go the whole nine yards. I am going to own this...but only cause I have a girlfriend.      ...and maybe Time Warp.

Pretty sure this is how we all dance after an all-nighter

There are no words...just...none

Attention Rich Parents! Your brat needs this!

 I play Rock Band. I have close to replica size plastic toys that I pretend to play because it makes me feel like if I stuck to learning the guitar, I could've been somebody. I could be the one on VH1 Celebrity Rehab crying about why its so hard to quit Elmer's glue because its got more tangy flavor than Miracle Whip. I play on those controllers because it adds a pretty necessary feel to what the game is trying to accomplish. I do not play Mario Kart feeling at a loss because I don't have that low to the ground feel and tight turns of an actual cartoon like kart! The Wii is notorious for having third party publishers that release some pretty stupid shit to go along with their games. Adding a piece of blue plastic tube to the end of your already crazy wireless controller and charging 30 bucks for it is ingenious but still pretty stupid...though I did feel more like a Jedi...hmm. My point is, video games that make you use a little bit of your imagination and then add some pretty interactive visuals to it are fun, but if you remove the imagination part, and you give too much to the player, in this case children...i hope. Then you are taking away from them the chance to make believe they are in the game, to make silly ass turn motions and jumping up and down with the controller. Worse, you are pushing those video games closer to reality, and for quite a few video games, that could be really bad. CLick through the jump to see my example.

Video Game Review - Blur

Blur
Release Date: Available Now
Developer: Bizarre Creations
Publisher: Activision
Multiplayer: Xbox Live, PSN, Split Screen 4p
My Time with Game: Uncompleted (3 days)
One Sentence Review: Released at a time alongside two other racing games Blur does a darn good job at creating an adult kart racing genre.

 

Blur is like Mario Kart. Picking up power ups, drafting, using well timed attacks to force your way into the next position. Blur is also totally not Mario Kart. Bizarre Creations has managed to develop a game that takes the power-up heavy play of kart racing series and add an adult flavor to it with real world locations and vehicles.
