Hi! I'm a pretty cool guy called Jama that reads blogs, plays games and doesn't afraid of anything!
I've got a nifty set-up at home that involved a 360 before I sold it. :(
Now it's just a PS3, a DS and a PSP. Portable gaming FTMFW!
Seriously though, portable gaming is a treat. It's sex, but on the roads. I love being able to whip out the old guy and playing with him until I get tired.
PSN: Kaizoku-ou. Means "Pirate King". Ninja's suck ass anyway.

Gaming has changed. It's no longer about clans, teamwork or even the goal. It's an endless series of griefing, fought by failtards and trolls. Gaming, and it's now consumption of life, has become a well-oiled machine. Gaming has changed. ID tagged "Call of Duty 4" soldiers carry ID tagged Gamertags, use PSN ID tagged gear. Hormones, after gaining an achievement, are released inside their bodies to enhance and regulate their abilities. Sony control. Microsoft control. Nintendo control. Consoles control. Everything is monitored, and kept under control. Gaming has changed. The age of 8-bit Mario's has become the age of control. All in the name of averting financial catastrophe from Ubisoft casual games. And he who controls the controller port 1, controls the first player. Gaming has changed. And when the battlefield is under total control, gaming, becomes routine.
Now, I'm a fan of Crysis. So far I'm about halfway through the game, and I must say, it is immensely fun. I've been hearing people say something about the game's fun-level dropping as soon as the Korean (they are too funny) soldiers are slowly replaced by aliens.
And we all know aliens aren't fun to mess with, because they can't be messed with.
Here's a fun situation, you take a jeep, cruise through the landscape (beautiful landscape complete with fauna) and drive it into a crowd of soldiers. Just as you near them you jump off the jeep, and shoot the gas tank. Enjoy your Korean BBQ.
That's what happens when you... hehe... hahahahahaha!
A lot of people are turned off this game simply because they believe it will cost an arm and a leg to actually run. Well, that's not necessarily true. I recently purchased a gaming computer (a poor one) for around 600$ (once you get around inflation and Norwegian currency). That's an entire computer excluding screen. With Vista running, I can achieve playable framerates with everything on medium. And medium is sexy (not as sexy as very high though, but that's for next year anyway).
Here a full cutscene from the beginning of the game, look at those faces!
All I'm saying is, the game's fun. And fun is what's central in any game. So what's stopping ya?
[--Side Note: This post is completely unnecessary, I just wanted to spread the love that is that guy stuck in wall video... hahahaha, stupid korean... hehe.--]
