About

I'm 23 and aside from games I love music and film. I'm a strong believer in Jesus and I try as hard as humanly possible not to judge anyone for their beliefs. I've been married to my beautiful wife for three years now she's also my best friend and I love her more than anything.

I've been working in Asia with my wife for the past few years, I've done some church work, music, and just finished working with a cultural exchange performing arts company in East Asia for the past 16 months. Living overseas(from America) has been an awesome experience.

My favorite games are Halo 2, Left 4 Dead, River City Ransom, Guardian Heroes, Kessen 2, Dynasty Warriors 2, Final Fantasy VIII and Guitar Hero. I have the most phone playing with my friends on LIVE, or organizing LAN parties in New England with friends and old co-workers. I'm also a drummer, and I love to play/listen to metal. My favorite band is Dream Theater.

I'm currently living in Korea, just hanging out while my wife's green Card to the States processes.

GTA IV Bootleg Now Available in Ch1na (Minor spoilers)

9:08 AM on 04.26.2008

I was searching torrents last night and I saw that GTA 4 was already online. In the year that arI've lived here(Ch1na) I've noticed that as soon as a game is leaked online, and sometimes before, it's available here. It happened with Mass Effect, over a week before it's Stateside release.....it happened with Mario Cart Wii, and now it's happened with GTA IV.

I talked to a video game shop owner that I'm buds with who told me that It rived here on a plane from a city near Hong Kong. He's charging 8 RMB for it....2 more than the usual 6 RMB. (1 US Dollar is around 7.1 RMB.

I don't want to give much away...and have only played it for an hour so I can't give much...but I LOVE the new melee fighting system. If you lock onto someone, your B button is punch, Y is some kind of additional punch, X is kick...and A is dodge. It's a lot better than the usual 'punch punch punch, kick on the ground kick, on the ground, steal their glowing money wad' melee... but yes there still are glowing wads of cash on dead bodies.

A Hardcore music station called L.C.H.C is a nice touch, playing a ton of fast, old school hardcore. Really with there was a metal station, though. Also a hilarious Right-Wing Conservative talk radio station ha ha.

Not sure how I feel about the new 'dating sim' elements... but maybe it'll grow on me.

Some images below...notice that bootlegs in Ch1na are pretty high quality....they're factory printed, with golden surfaces...not blue or purple like a regular DVD+/- R. Bootlegs in Thailand however are regular DVD-Rs.

Yeah Bowling....ain't exactly Wii Sports but it's bowling. It's one of the many activities you do as you date girls in the game.

Paid less than 2 dollars for one of the best games ever coded.

Its a damn shame because the hard work over 500 people put into this game over the last 3 and a half years amounts to less than a ride on the nyc subway in that part of the world.

But the game will earn a shit load of money anyway.

It's china. China has piracy. If you don't like it, you shut it down.

Yeah, didn't think so.
