About Me
Follow me on Twitter - @SephirothDZX

Who am I? I'm a guy who plays video games, talks way too much about comics and movies, likes Godzilla and Robocop, and lives up in Wisconsin. And yes. We get that much snow. Why should you read my blog? Because when I write I have fun, make up bullshit lists, and when I do get a little serious with some blogs I try to be insightful and use resources and facts to try and back up my opinion as much as I can. And if you don't follow my blog, I'll send you a picture of a sad kitten who wants some love.

Random other thoughts
--There's no way you can justify paying $60 a year for XBox Live when you can get the same service from Playstation and Steam for free.

So Destructoid, I've been gone for a bit.

I have a legitimate series of reasons, please forgive me and don't send Denzel Washington to come beat the living tar out of me. This stretch of the year is one where I tend to vanish from any form of internet socialism as my urge to play games and do shit overcomes me. In short I've been doing what every good Dtoider does, play a fuckload of games.

Champions Online

Superheroes make everything better, this goes without question and is an indisputable fact. Take away Daredevil from his movie and you have Gigli, remove The Hulk and nobody would know about Lou Ferrigno, strip away Ghost Rider from Ghost Rider and we have... well, another bad Nicholas Cage movie instead of another bad Nicholas Cage movie featuring a flaming skull bike rider guy. What I'm getting at is simple, the fact that I can slap on any goofy costume, fly around with awesome jet boots, throw semi trucks at bad guys, and then promptly follow up by blasting them away with a super chest laser beam thing instantly makes this game more appealing than any of the knight-elf-mohawk crap you see in most other MMOs. Couple this in with a game that is surprisingly action oriented, by MMO standards, and you have me hooked on a game that I personally think has enough legs to eventually be a WoW contender.

Duck Hunting

See, around October I actually leave my technological mecha of gamer crap and go outside and do this thing that involves me putting on a ton of camouflage that's intended to make me look like a floating caucasian head amongst a mass of trees and grass (or a very bad version of one of the Bushwhackers). I follow this up by aiming a large noisy gun and shooting at geese and ducks (the equivalent of sky carp) until one of them falls from the sky to become my feast. Now before all of the animal rights tree hugger hippy fucks get on me for killing natures creatures, I highly doubt any of these birds will cry if anything bad were to happen to me so I'm not going to shed any tears for them.

Being the Goddamn Batman

Yeah, Arkham Asylum's been out for a while but I'm finding odd replay value in the game. I dunno, maybe it falls back to the fact that superheroes make everything better, but I keep popping the game back in to pound in countless amounts of thugs while going “I'm Batman” over and over.

Killing All of the Fucking Aliens

Aliens are a constant and growing threat to modern day society. In fact they've grown to be such a threat that the government now ranks them only behind Robots (because robots are everywhere, and they eat old peoples medicine for fuel. And when they grab you with those metal claws you can't break free, because they're made of metal and robots are strong). Because of this bothersome threat my friends and I have taken it upon ourselves to stage a defense against aliens through Halo ODST's firefight mode. Humans - 1 / Aliens - 0.

Uncharted 2

Is it possible for a game to be this good? I mean seriously, I know everybody is already well on board the “Uncharted 2 is so goddamn amazing” train... but I've been trying to pump people up for this game for a good damn while now as well as hyping myself up, and yet even I was amazed at how great this game was. By the way, that Memory Card piece about the gunfight inside of the falling building... perfect, that moment was probably one of the most jaw dropping experiences I've had in gaming probably ever.

Anime Con!!

I've also been prepping myself for an anime convention about a half hour from where I live. Part of the preparation comes with getting ready to cosplay at the event; since I am more gamer than otaku yet my cosplays will consist of Dante (Devil May Cry 4 version, along with Waffle King's Nevan Rock Band guitar) as well as Nathan Drake from the already-mentioned awesome Uncharted series. Considering, as Trev can confirm, my hometown pretty much blows in almost every conceivable way I prep heavily for anime conventions since they provide a nice escape from my otherwise mundane reality. Booze also fixes this, but it's more fun to drink booze with a babe dressed as Yoko from Gurren Lagann.

Sadly, I'll probably be gone from Destructoid (besides commenting) for periodic bits as the anime con grows closer, Modern Warfare 2 comes out, and the whole holiday thing happens. Hope to blog again soon otherwise I'll see you all online for some FNFs or something.

Modern Warfare 2 went from a "must buy" for me, to a "I can't support this shit". Seriously; going from a 25v25 dedicated server game to an 8v8 matchmaking experience on a PC is a dealbreaker.

I'll probably get it used for the 360 to play with my college friends at some point.

Also, post more <3

I was planning on getting it for 360 anyways, so that didn't really affect me much. Though their bullcrap exclusion of Nazi Zombies is a super letdown for me.

If sales drop due to all the Activision boycotting, you better BELIEVE it'll be in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3.

Eh, I really think all of this activision boycotting is going to have the same level of effectiveness as the L4D2 boycott had. Which was near nothing. Plus Infinity Ward is the one last -good- developer they have left in my opinion.

Well,

1) This boycott is absolutely justified, unlike the Left 4 Dead 2 one. The aim of the L4D2 boycott was to stop quick sequel producing, not to boycott legitimate consumer concerns like price hikes and downgrading. They also shat on PC users (which stick to their guns).

2) UK-ers are pissed: with the price hike, I foresee legitimate boycotting and used purchases all around. If people buy this game brand new, they are essentially saying "it's ok to charge us more because it's a popular series".

Oh yeah! Hey! Glad to hear you've been playing games and doing shit. Hopefully we'll get to hear about it more often!

I always buy games for PC when I can because with services like Steam and Impulse, you can redownload games infinite numbers of times on multiple computers even if there's a hardware crash. I seriously doubt that Xbox on-demand and arcade games are going to be freely transferable to the Xbox 720 or whatever... I had to repurchase the Battlefront II DLC for Xbox 360 when my original Xbox broke after all.

I wouldn't have bothered saying anything about this blog, but then I read your SNL robot sketch reference and had to say, Kudos. Very well done. Welcome back!
