Shiny New Kill Smell Resident Evil 5 Trailer
ReclusiveSpirit | 12:56 PM on 08.23.2008 4 comments




More RE5 is always a good thing in my book. And that's exactly what you get out of this new trailer from the Games Convention 2008, in Leipzig, Germany. There's more evil, more killing, and more racism (Just kidding?) for you to feast your eyes upon.

I'm lovin' up every bloody drop I can find out about this game. And so far, I haven't been disappointed. Every new set of images or video I see just whets my appetite for more...which is exactly what Capcom wants me to feel.

Okay Capcom...I am your RE5 bitch.

"This is hardcore bro!"

Hey dude in a band playing in a video game store. If you would have said that to me, you might have gotten a beat down. But on the other hand...you also qualified for one of the best lines of the week.

Where's the love at my friends?

World War
ReclusiveSpirit | 8:21 AM on 08.19.2008 3 comments




I saw World War this morning...and I really did like it a lot. It was a glimpse into the future...and the future is in good hands. At least as it applies to the world of computer rendered 3D animation.

It was created by Vincent Chai for his final degree project in 3D animation, at the University of Hertfordshire, UK. I don't think I'm going out on a limb here when I say that Mr. Chai just may have a future ahead of him at Pixar. Or if he should so choose, one of the many video game developers.

Watch this in full HD if you can, it's worth it in my opinion. If I had one qualm with this short film it would be the ending. I would have liked to have seen a different one. A small nitpick in an otherwise outstanding effort.

Here's to more where that came from Mr. Chai!

Not Ambiguously Gay
ReclusiveSpirit | 4:53 PM on 08.18.2008 19 comments




I was wandering down the Internets when I saw this YouTube. It was rather hard to miss. It's from a SNES game called Chou Aniki. I'm not sure if it's a game my friends and I would have gotten into back in the day...but I can't vouch for everybody.

The title of this video is, "Games that shouldn't of been created", and I'd have to probably agree. Although I am haunted by some of the games imagery. Such as, what was the origin of that white beam that Adam was firing at Samson? And did Samson actually win the match with a floating yellow ass gas attack?

I guess I'll never find out since I'm never gonna watch that stupid video again. I'll be talking to you guys later...I've got stuff...to do.



This video is Tingle approved!!!

Hacked PS3 Plays Games From HDD?
ReclusiveSpirit | 8:10 AM on 08.17.2008 14 comments




A hacker out of Germany called StreetskaterFU figured out a way to play games directly from the PS3's HDD, without the need of the actual blu-ray disc the game is on. And he dropped this little nugget off at the PS3Hax Network about 3 days ago.

There's also a sketchy YouTube of it, which I'm posting in here. And according to StreetskaterFU the video shows:

- Warhawk running from HDD

- no PKG version

- no WH disc while WH is running

- Motorstorm running as proxy disc

- legal way

This is definitely within the realm of possibilities for the PS3. With the ability to have Linux running on your PS3, it is generously gifting hacker's with a way inside to generate "back-up" copies...or even discs, of the games.

I'm all about ease of use when I'm playing games. And loading games directly from your HDD sounds like the way to go for me. Especially if you're fortunate enough to be able to install as large a HDD as you can possibly afford. Although I still have the original HDD on my PS3.

I don't support the pirating of games. It's just not my thing. It would be unfortunate if some hackers possibly ruin this HDD install for us PS3 owners. Perhaps it will be history by the next firmware update?



You may want to watch this with the sound turned off. There's an annoying clicking sound in the video that sounds like someone typing on a keyboard. Apparently it was the camera's auto focus as it was filming. Very irritating.

Far Cry 2 Eye Candy
ReclusiveSpirit | 8:50 AM on 08.16.2008 24 comments




I don't know what it is my friends. Maybe it's just me? But I just can't seem to get enough info on Far Cry 2. Now if you don't believe me, you can just ask my psychiatrist about my obsession with porn...um...I mean this game.

But I do have proof of my own I can present to you. Since early May, this isn't my first blog, or even my second or third blog about this FPS, but this will actually be blog number 4 devoted to this game. And I also featured it prominently in this blog.

I'm not sure what I can say to defend myself. Maybe I need an intervention? But as my psychiatrist says, and as GI Joe always taught me, knowing is half the battle. Perhaps I can begin from there.

Thanks for listening. I'm gonna unsnap my pants now and watch this trailer again.
