About Me

Iam a gammer from the harsh uruguayan jungle (we dont even have a jungle down here, too cold, go and do some wikipedia of Uruguay). I used to do a podcast in spanish about videogames at Radio LevelUp but I dont do it anymore... anyway those guys are there still making it so you can give it a try if you understand spanish
And i can say "�aca �aca �aca" and i know how to pronoaunce it well since im a spanish speaker, so Im a superior race.
A couple of idiots may find funny that I dont have good english grammar, but again, they are probably idiots since they only speak/write one language...

Most of my time in the internet is because of games. I love videogames so much that i sleep with my girlfriend and my ds, at the same time... i call that a "threesome" and my humor doesnt get anything better than that.
Mostly im a PC gamer, i was going to buy a 360 but faulty crappy hardware told me not to since if it goes RRoD here I would have lost my money, and as a man Im entitled to the sweat of my brow. I want to fuck the Wii and I believe the PS3 is going to be the first console in space.

In the "real" life (come on, internet now is part of our lives anyway...), I study medicine (takes a lot of time and I cant spend enough of my time playing videogames). Is not what you would call a marriage made in heaven, if I wanted to game more I should have sutdy something related to pc�s, but I grown surrounded by computers and stuff so I chose the bio stuff instead. Anyway, little time to play video games if you dont want my biographical shit.

And the main reasson I play games for the story behind them. I love well written stories like Half Life series, of course Portal (kind of a Valve fan). Other great games include World Of Warcraft (not currently playing, actually I was never hardcore, but I enjoyed the experience a lot), and of course the classics like System Shock 2. Other great titles had stuck with me over the years, classics adventure games like Monkey Island, Indiana Jones and Grim Fandango.

So, best game experiences:
Half Life 2 (and the original Half Life of course).
System Shock 2
Grim Fandango
Indiana Jones and the Fate Of Atlantis
Monkey Island

Portal 2 is going to be a triumph Velt | 10:47 PM on 04.25.2008 10 comments

So I heard back in February that a sequel to Portal was on the mind of Valve (allmighty Valve here). I can only begin to explain in my bad english how good Portal is, I cant do it right (dont blame me, después de todo la mayoría solo habla ingles y al menos acá me estoy esforzando, yo soy el intelectual), Portal came like an F-22 raptor for me (bad analogy): under the radar. I wasnt paying attention at class and when I bought the OB and I started the game... well, the rest is story. But Portal 2 is going to take a while. From Kotaku. Valve's Doug Lombardi: "In typical Valve tradition, it won't be Portal with different colours. I think that when you hit something like that, you have two choices: you can quickly replicate it and stick it out there - do the opportunistic thing and cash in on it; or you can do the crazy thing like we did after Half-Life was so successful and go off and try and say, 'Okay, that was revolutionary, so its successor has to be equally as revolutionary." Valve is a great videogame company, and since the HL2 release date fiasco (at the time I saw that one coming from miles), is sticking with the "when is done" answer. "When is done" is a good answer... but Valve sometimes takes things into extremes and polishes and repolishes every aspect of a game until is perfect, so is going to be a while and we dont know anything about it... it remains TBD, I can only guess that this one is probably a late 2010. Hey! Im still waiting for word on Episode 3 of HL2.
