Comment (last update: 7-Nov-2009 12:55am) Now Playing: Alien Hominid (GC); Final Fantasy X (I will soon discover why everyone hates Tidus)
Defeated this Year: Elemental Gimmick Gear (DC); Myth III (PC); Dungeon Siege, again (PC); LoZ: Phantom Hourglass (DS); Drawn to Life (DS); Metroid Prime 2 (GC); LOTR: The Third Age (GC); Killer 7 (GC); Hunter: The Reckoning: Redeemer (XBox); Penumbra Collection (PC); Scratches: Director's Cut (PC); Resident Evil Deadly Silence (DS) More Favorite Links: Nethack Widescreen Gaming Forum Hydrogen Audio Zombies vs. Ambulances Nov 6th I was looking at one of the banner ads. 2 rules to a ripped body: turn on a halogen lamp, and suck in your gut for the photo. Nov 6th The touch-screen portions of RE Deadly Silence are a little tricky to get used to, but it does add a lot of fun to the original game. I hope we eventually see touch versions of 2, 3, and Code Veronica. Oct 25th The Penumbra series was a good fit to my tradition of playing a lot of survival horror in October. My favorite was the first episode, perhaps because of the strong similarities to Thief: The Dark Project. You have a fragile lead character who must hide in the shadows and outmaneuver or outrun his enemies. In the first, you at least have a few options for fighting back - a claw hammer, an old pickaxe, a couple sticks of dynamite, and a few explosive propane tanks and other traps. In the second, your weapons are taken away entirely. The last is a series of puzzles with no enemies. Oct 10th When I traded for Hunter in August, I didn't notice that I received the sequel in the box for the original, which is kinda funny. I don't necessarily mind. The change in the logo is so damn tiny that it was easy to miss. I didn't realize anything was odd until after the first level was cleared. Oct 7th I'm marking several items as free with trade. I'm strongly leaning toward one freebie per trade, rather than all of them. Sep 18th Animal Crossing has found a home. Sep 16th All three words of the week are up on the GameTrailers PS3 Slim giveaway. Several members have already been disqualified for posting the answers directly on the contest page, so my odds (and yours) have just gone up. Sep 13th Watch out for the black mages - they're bad news. 
Sep 8th GameTrailers.com is giving away a PS3 Slim to one lucky reader who has a free membership account and is willing to read a Twitter feed. Sep 7th    
Twenty collectible cards are included with Animal Crossing. This consists of sixteen characters, two patterns, and two songs. Sep 6th The end of Metroid Prime 2 was great, until I got to the screen that said I was only 84% finished. This backhanded compliment shows up right after the credits with perfect cruel timing. I think this refers to found items. Did I really miss out on that many missile expansions somewhere? Some of my favorite webcomics are being Aug 30th Game Informer Magazine is giving away a Nintendo Wii with a clear case from Extreme Mods. Aug 4th Drawn to Life has a definite charm for younger gamers with a coloring-book approach for the drawing segments and early Super Mario Brothers mechanics for the side-scrolling levels. It is harder than you might first think to color in your objects to fit in with the rest of the game, so this can become a new layer of game play for adults. I don't see the need for a musical number at the end of the game. June 15th Two sets of Cool Caps have gone out, but I still have a few more to go. I really hate the idea of throwing something out when someone else might use it. June 4th The seven-minute trailer for Final Fantasy XIII released this week kind of makes me want an XBox 360. It's mostly cut-scenes with subtitles, but about two minutes of gameplay footage are included here and there. [Trailer] May 29th I have some iPod Shuffle accessories (first generation) that I am willing to give away. I found these on clearance and wanted to use as (cheap) presents, but it turns out that few people have the original Shuffle any more. These didn't sell well enough on eBay to justify the listing fees. If you are interested in any of these, please contribute a dollar or two towards shipping.    
The Cool Caps are dust caps + lanyards. The Jam Caps are dust caps only. The Dock Cable is a four-foot USB extension cable. The Flexible Dock is a seven-inch gooseneck cable. May 7th A new computer game featured on Gametrailers.com called The Path looks like it might be a spiritual successor to the PS2 title Rule of Rose, which I absolutely got a kick out of last year. The trailer almost gave me chills - slow pace, dark themes, heavy-handed piano in the soundtrack, and all- or mostly-female cast. Unlike Rule of Rose, it seems to be puzzle-based, which means no struggling with the controls while being chased down by midget demons. Sadly, my computer can't run it. One game is not enough reason for a replacement. [Website] [Trailer] April 30th I'm putting myself on a training regimen that might help with Quake. I've gone through every arena against the computer in 8-man free for all matches in every arena at the first three difficulty levels, I Can Win, Bring It On, and Hurt Me Plenty. I'm starting to be challenged with the last, which I think identifies my current skill level. Too bad I can't request matches based on that. The server wants my win/loss and kill/death ratios to be terrible, so I am always placed against people at least one level beyond mine. April 26th It makes me sad that the developer's page for the Game Audio Player program has closed down. I was hoping to find a new release with support for more titles, but it's just gone now. This Russian-made program by Valery Anisimovsky could search game software for over twenty kinds of compressed audio. As an example, GAP can take one audio file for Dungeon Siege, sound.dsres, parse this into around 613 discrete sound effects, then let you create a customized playlist. You can also export specific tracks to WAV files. Most of the music embedded in a game is 8 or 16-bit mono with a low sample rate, but good editing software might be able to make aesthetic improvements. When I first came across the program, I think users were submitting custom playlists. Those are gone as well. The hit-or-miss nature of this program is funny sometimes. I was hoping to find the longer musical pieces by Jeremy Soule, who has several other soundtracks for sale at directsong.com, but I went all the way through the playlist and found mostly roars and explosions. No snarky comments from NPCs, either. A search of the World of Warcraft directory was not productive. This took about twelve minutes, stopping repeatedly to ask for any playlists I might already have, and uncovered 212 items, mostly voices and sound effects. These may have some sort of copy-protection, leading to the painful, television-static sound filling most of them. Fileplanet still carries this program, and it works well with many older games, such as most Command & Conquer titles. April 22nd Quake Live is still a good place is still a good place to be humiliated in 15 minutes or less. At my so-called skill level, I've seen people take themselves airborne with the rocket launcher and then start bouncing off the walls. I'm just happy when my accuracy is above 30%. April 5th The fourteenth mission of Myth III, Bonds of the Oghre, was so out of balance that I did have to skip past it with an instant win cheat. If you trigger one of the Trow guards, you have triggered them all. Maybe if I had installed the 1.3.1 patch things would have been different. The game has a lovably ominous feel for anyone familiar with the story. Connacht and his closest friends are doomed to be resurrected as the new Leveler and his lieutenants. Good classically-inspired music plays during the cut scenes, but there isn't a lot of variety there. It can crash during start up under Windows XP, but doesn't crash mid-level. Mar 23rd I really haven't been logging in regularly. It is a good way to miss out on offers. Some parts of Ecco on Dreamcast are so dark I can't find my way, which has lead to me giving up at least temporarily. Quake Live is a good way to be humiliated in fifteen minutes or less. Myth III, while not part of the Bungie canon, captures the same suicide mission feel of the first two. Feb 12th Despite being just one level away from being able to create a Death Knight, I seriously need time away from WOW. There are so many other games -- without long sets of "anal" jokes in the trade chat -- worth playing. Jan 4th Elemental Gimmick Gear is a short but neat Zelda-like game with a sci-fi setting. If it had been designed to the same scale as A Link to the Past then I might be able to highly recommend it, but there are only four dungeons and little in the way of exploration. Most of the game has a color-saturated 16-bit look, while a few fight scenes do involve 3-D models extremely similar to some Sega Saturn titles. Backlog:  Dreamcast:
