About Me

edit

Sup D-toiders, Nick Moore is my name, video gaming is my... er, game. My console of choice is the Nintendo Wii, for I am as big of a Nintendo fanboy as you will ever find. Yea I like Nintendo, wanna fight about it? Anyway my favorite games include Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie, Paper Mario, and pretty much any Pokemon game, but my top picks gotta be Crystal and Emerald. I also love me some Super Smash Bros Series, LoZ:TP, Resident Evil 4, and pretty much all of the Fire Emblem games. Got me a Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Wii, and DS. Nice. I also like to game on the PC, my favorites including Fallout 3, Plants vs. Zombies, and Left 4 Dead.

Here's me in my natural habitat:

There's my Alienware m9750, love it. I'm pretty much on it 24/7, I do everything on it. But I get out, don't worry. See that tan? Yea you do. I hang with my friends most of the time I'm 'away from my computer', usually going to concerts, movies, or just partying.

I'm currently enrolled at The College of New Jersey (yea that's really the name) and my major is Interactive Multimedia, which is pretty much a revved up Gaming Major. Yup, one day I'll be a multi-million game designer, so you better not get on my bad side or you'll never get to experience the awesomeness of my video games... though I think I'm getting way ahead of myself.

Some of my other hobbies include movies, music, football (E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!!!!) and literature. My favorite directors include The Coen Brothers, Guillermo del Toro, Tim Burton, and Quentin Tarantino. Favorite movies include Reservoir Dogs, Barton Fink, Edward Scissorhands, Fargo, Pulp Fiction, No Country for Old Men, and Pan's Labyrinth. My favorite bands are The Killers, Blink-182, Green Day, Weezer, and Queen.

So there you go, a little bit about me, your humble neighborhood Myrmidon16.

Anyone Else Freakin' Exited for "Madworld?"
Myrmidon16 \| 10:05 PM on 07.29.2008	18 comments

Cause I sure am. Now, lets face it, as much as I love Nintendo, I've been kinda disappointed with the lack of quality games over the summer. I mean, the only game I found good enough to buy was "No More Heroes", but I never got around to it (I will). But, lo and behold, I'm am really exited about the recent announcement of the new game from the independent developer PlatinumGames and Sony, "Madworld." And oh man, does it look awesome.

Literally, its LOOKS awesome. Its has the definite Frank Miller look with the black and white, and it reminds me of the movie 'Sin City' (based off of the comics by said mentioned) with the only color being red. From the, you know, blood. Cause this game is all M, not for those little kids and soccer moms who own much of the Nintendo Wii's. The main character is not loveable, he's all bad ass and such. The game play looks real good too, and its been confirmed that this game is all action. No pushing boxes and searching for keys. No puzzles, ACTION! AND BLOOD! Another great part is that its supposed to have lots of great weapons, as well as the ability to use the environment as one. This game is gonna rock!

After I wipe the drool from my chin, I'm gonna get to the universal look this game gives me. Another quality Mature game really gets my hopes up that this might be the first of a string of great games set to come out on my precious Wii. With "No More Heroes" getting much attention and great reviews, and hopefully "Madworld" will copy this, (what am I saying? Of course it will!) the possibilities are endless. Face it, both of these games are risk/reward, and when they succeed, maybe, just maybe, other third party developers will take those risks and make more games for the Wii.

Last but not least, I'm exited about PlatinumGames, formed by two developers who had worked on gems like Viewtful Joe and Okami, will provide more great games for the starving Wii. This game is sheer awesomeness, and hopefully it will bring more of these kind of games, though maybe not all Mature ones, in the near future. All I know is if I can impale a guys head with a road sign, I'm buying it.

FUCK YES! CAN'T WAIT!

I predict that MadWorld will sell buckets more than No Moe Heroes. As much as a I lvoe NMH, it did look like a DReamcast game. MadWorld, on the other hand, looks equal to a 360 game in ut;s own unique way, and has the "Final Fight + GTA" style gameplay that many have been begging for for years.

Based on what I saw at E3, MadWorld will achieve what GodHand attempted, to bring funny, stylish, beautiful, and brutal beat 'em ups back to the forefront of gaming.

MadWorld looks pretty cool. If I had a Wii, I would definitely try to purchase a copy.

A gaming blog. Your getting better at this. Next let's try to add pictures, and your on your way to becoming a viable member.

And ya.. Madworld looks good.

crackity jones

Count me in! I'm psyched!!

ReclusiveSpirit

I don't own a Wii. But this game is one of the very few that made me wish I did have one.

Puppy Licks

Lets hope MadWorld won't get gimped in Australia like No More Heroes did :/

NobodysDream

Mad World looks awesome. I cannot disagree with you on that.

Reeper

This does look excellent. I'm super excited for it.

DanMazkin

no....well...yeah ok. maybe i am. let's just hope that it doesnt get gimped like.....oh wait, RobotFart already said it. nevermind.

braulio09

well, kinda, but i haven't seen enough of it for it to be in my "z0mg want" list. also, it could end up being shit like manhunt 2, which depends on its shock factor to excuse its shitty gameplay.

JustLikeBuck

Seems similar to No More Heroes: Stylish visuals et al.

I was excited about that game, then I played it through, and wasn't so excited.

I still have hope, though ;)

covah

I hope madworld does REALLY well just to show Nintendo that they don't always no what the fuck they're talking about when it comes to their demographic.

BlindsideDork

I am so exited for MadWorld!

RonBurgandy2010

I'm actually afraid of what will happen if this game is released. A good game on the Wii may cause the universe to end.

taterchimp

Hmm...buckets of blood against fountains of blood? Its going to be a close call against NMH. I am seriously excited for mad world though.

ProperlyParanoid

I hope it's actually good. The graphics look amazing, but i don't know, i hope there's more to it than just senseless killing. It get's old fast.
