Its too much... I can't keep up! :( This could be just me but its how I am feeling right now...



Im sorry but I am hoping I can ask the industry to FRIGGIN slow down in making games, For my own sake and yours. In the Past the PS3 was known as the system with 0 games. Today, I have no time to play even a simple puzzle game like Critter Crunch.

New games are being released within weeks, not even a month. PS1 classics, PSN originals, AAA titles, coming left and right, jumping into your face! no time to even look back at the games you just bought! NOPE NON ZIP! You must get the new one! Stop what you were playing cuz the new game is out! and you have about a weeks worth to buy it, play it, and stop mid way because the next new game is coming out! Cuz you will be considered a Loser if you don't play it when it does come out! Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh....

So this sucks, I know you guys might be making fun of me, but the reality is I like to enjoy the games in a good appropriate play-time to enjoy them... you know, play single player, get the full experience, then go online and play with others who are in the same boat as me, get into a good challenge and work my way up to becoming better at it. But the way games are being released now, its insane, how can I play Uncharted 2, Trine, Critter Crunch, Dragon Age, Call of Duty, Assassins Creed II, God of War Collection, Borderlands, Demon's Souls, KoF, SF4, MvsC2... ect ect ECT! I just can't. Im right now trying to play Demon Soul's but man I keep getting killed and the amount of time and dedication this game requires is the same as a MMO. I love Critter Crunch cuz it keeps things simple with puzzle gaming and I just love too damn much the artwork. I think this is the most brilliant game of the year, like sudoku, simple to play, extremely hard (and luck) to master. I bought Trine because Yojimbo forced me to do it and I haven't even installed it on my system... + Not to mention I don't have the current luxury to be buying every brand new game that is coming out... I think SilverDragon posted a while back that before the years end, he was about to spend almost $900 just on videogames alone... I can now see why, If I bought all the new games when they come out id be without a house or car.

This is why I am coming out and asking developers to PLEASE SLOW DOWN!!!! Too many games being thrown at us will make us OD! (at least me) Sorry for my rant, I know many of you will make fun of me but I am just sad that by the time I get to enjoy one game and want to play with my friends, they are already playing different new games and it makes it harder on us on playing on the same game when we are trying to be the best, getting trophies, finishing it 110% complete, play online with friends and actually enjoy it.

Im going to have to start drinking PowerThirst so I can get neverending energy to work eat play and just straight out skip sleeping my 3 hours I can at night...



/rantover...

Well big may be. the image is very blurry but it does look like it is saying instead of the usual full price of a new game, $59.99, it really looks like $58.99. I copied it and took it into photoshop, zoomed in and out to really see the difference in that number right after the 5 and it does look like an 8. I could be wrong but plz rectify me if it is wrong.

and could possibly able to run Crysis! The new laptops have ARRIVED! with the new intel i7 chipset! so ive been looking around, been through many sites and it seems that the most powerful laptop with the best service is from 2 contenders who both are owned by the same company lol.

So for the next generation of gaming and portable workstation, which of these do you think is the best selection?

So here they are folks with price and specs. No news from Acer and the other ones I found not to being as powerful as these ones and close to the $2k price point. I will need soon a powerful laptop for work using [video editing, photoshop, dreamweaver, fireworks, flash, AS3, iphone Dev, maya, vue d spirit] and of course for FF14 for when it comes out next year. I don't plan on buying another laptop for the next 3 years, which is when possibly a new chip technology might come out by then.

so yea, I'm not rich but this is something I will be using day and night so any advice which one should I get or what would you recommend?

Hey guys, I can't stop to say how much fun Critter Crunch has brought back puzzle gaming to my eyes. It is fast, exciting, competitive and fun to see Takeshi eat my barf as he looses. Now just telling people to buy it its not enough, I think the best way to help Capy Games is by making competitions with rewards!

I know it sucks that there are so many games coming out this month for the PS3 which everyone are playing them as zombies, but CC deserves to be owned by everyone, specially for the cheap price of such a high detail quality game.



So ill see if I can talk to the PSN crew and start a Dtoid Critter Crunch competition with some possible rewards. But out of curiosity, how many of you would be willing to join up and see who can be the best eat/barf out of the rest.



Also if you have any ideas for CC please dont hesitate to drop by their forum and dropping a quickie.

Not sure if you guys ever saw this, but just woke up and had my coffee and I started remembering one of the people that inspire me and I would actually shiver to go up against in a fighter game. His name was Daigo, and Daigo could kick your ass in so many ways you would go back crying to your mama. (looking @ u Yojim -_O). Back in the days there was the one man from Japan who stroked fear in the hearts of fighters all over the globe. And I would like to share his legend if you haven't heard or seen it.

The SF: third strike God himself, Daigo!


The Beast Unleashed


Full Fight


I know there are more incredible fighters out there, but this one was one of my most memorable ones. If you enjoy fighting hope you have enjoyed this one.

Whenever they just shut up in the PR department and just focus on talking on their own products Is when I truly love Sony. Sony released today the new "bendable" and transparent organic light emitting diode (OLED) technology. These are the new prototypes featuring an OLED at a mere 0.2 mm thick. The prototype devices are a Vaio notebook, a flexible e-book, and a Walkman bracelet, sorry no PSP2 yet but hey, this is a step into the right direction!

Pure


Sleek


Sexyness...


Possible?


I remember Sony releasing almost 3 years ago in 2007, the prototype of this Paper touch screen LED technology. What they showed back then was a simple video playing on this thin paper plastic while being bent back and forth. Now finally after 3 years of development it is finally shown for commercial use. When I saw this I knew this was the next step in computers and future technology and was really excited because soon we will be doing Minority Report computing.

Ok enough of the small talk, time to see it in action...


Drooling yet? While this post is not based on actual video games, you can't help but wonder what type of can come with this type of technology. 100" HDOLED that you staple to your wall? Those PSP2 concept that kept everyone wishing Sony would do?







I hope Sony releases this into the market, I hope they don't make it expensive... I hope they do find some sort of way to use this technology to cut prices down and do more. This technology makes the Macbook Air and new Kindle look like a fat elephant.
