Prepare to get pissed...C&C 4 requires you to be online 24/7.
Woverine | 1:28 AM on 07.16.2009 9 comments


hey guys just read this and though it was pretty ridiculous. Apparently in order to play Command and Conquer 4 you have to be connected to the internet at all times.... even for single player.

FTA:
"As of right now, you need to be online all the time to play C&C 4. This is primarily due to our 'player progression' feature so everything can be tracked. C&C 4 is not an MMO in the sense of World of Warcraft, but conceptually it has similar principles for being online all the time," Community Leader APOC wrote. No matter what mode you're playing, no matter what you're doing, if you want to play Command and Conquer 4, you're going to need to have a working Internet connection.

Good ole EA for ya! They even have the nerve to say that this game is shipping with no DRM protection.
Sucks to be a laptop user.

Well, It's official, xbox wins.
Woverine | 3:48 PM on 01.27.2009 19 comments





So I never though it would happen... but the other day.... it did So I went over to my friends house the other day because he just got a new ps3 and wanted me to try out LBP so I went over there. Now, before I go on... let me say i used to be all about ps2 I always got games for that first and ps2 was kinda the generic answer to any video game related question. (kinda like how "coke" is any soda or "nintendo" used to be that back in the NES days.) Ok anyways, moving on so now that I only have an xbox 360 the xbox has become my new generic video game name. I didn't think anything of it, It seemed normal because that's the only system I had.

I WAS WRONG

When I was going through the first LBP tutorial level it said something along the lines of "press x to do this" so without thinking, I started pressing what I thought was "X" on the ps3 controller... after about 5 presses of nothing happening, I looked down and almost had a heart attack... that was no X at all!! It was the Square button!! It was a startling revelation... I realized that the xbox 360 controller had become the official controller in my brain that was second nature! This was a crazy because even though I hadn't played the ps2 or ps3 all that much since my 360.. I still figured it was second nature and I could play it whenever I felt like.. NOPE!

The xbox has won people don't fight it.

Frogger is stupid.
Woverine | 4:01 PM on 01.10.2009 18 comments




So I just got a new cell phone the other day and it came with a free demo of Frogger. I had never really gotten into it but I was bored so I started to play it. This game sucks. It makes absolutely no sense you play as a frog that dies when you fall into the water? Yeah, a FROG that dies in WATER! WTF? and look at that picture... I mean wtf is the difference between the "death water" and the little square of water you are supposed to get to? Speaking of those magical water squares it took me three deaths to realize that's where I was supposed to go... I thought i had to land on those green grass squares... which also end up in death. because that makes sense right? You can start out on the pavement and walk over the streets and logs and rocks but a nice green pasture is death? Wow, Frogger sucks.
