So I can has the DMC4 Special edition?
Xerosnake90 | 9:33 AM on 06.15.2008 7 comments


Having only a 100$ bill and wanting to buy some fast food, I decided I was gonna go get DBZ burst limit at wal mart so I can get the change i needed and a new game. Blockbuster didn't have the game earlier, and neither did wal-mart. So whilest eyeing the games in the case, the one thing that caught my eye was DMC4. It was the Special edition and it cost the exact same as the normal game..... OOOOOOK. So I grabbed it. FIrst off, the front cover is a plastic outline case that wraps around a metal case. This is honestly the most awesome case I've ever owned, it's just pretty badass. After sliding out the case, a dvd fell out for the entire first season of the DMC anime. It has 5 or 6 episodes on it. The inside of the case also contains the game and yet another dvd, a bonus disk. So, this is an awesome deal. Both the normal edition and special cost the origional 60$. I wasn't upset with the price because I had the money, and the game is frikking sweet. The 2 extra dvds just made it that much more sweet and yea. I just had to share. DMC 4 is an awesome game BTW. I know it's been out for a while but yea yea. 'Tis good.

Since we're on the subject of Madden 09, why don't I unveil the idea that has been in my mind...
Xerosnake90 | 9:34 PM on 03.30.2008 5 comments


So most people hate the superstar mode in Madden, nearly everyone buys the games every year to just play their favorite teams as a whole. Well no, that's not what I really want. I'm one of those people who like superstar mode, the whole thought of just controlling one person on the team and controlling everything he does. So why not this.... CREATE A FOOTBALL MMO! Ok, so that sounds a bit weird and wtf like? But think about it, you chose a position, there could be quick games where you are put into a random game with random people, or you can create your own team/join existing teams. There could even be a real tournament league going on every month where there could be a certain number of teams playing off, the winners get some special crap, extra points for their character, more showey catches or some crap.

I think it'd be interesting to have everyone do 1 thing and 1 thing only. It would feel more like a real football game if it was made well enough. The superstar in Madden of course was cool, though retarded teammates made it feel less realistic. I can't say how many times I've burned a CB just to have my team QB throw it behind me instead of in front ~.~;

Imagine chosing a position, and you being able to build on general skills (speed, strength), elusive skills (Juke, spin), power skills (truck, break tackle), and than position specific skills. Like RB could have quick step (lets you recover speed faster after juke), or gap burst (player receives extra initial speed boost when going through gap in OLine). WR could have drop back (Receiver is able to stop when ball is underthrown, catch, and recover quickly to run) or dive catch (If ball is thrown too far or low, receiver will make a diving catch). You know, crap like that. And every level you gain for those certain technuiqes, the faster your guy will do it and have a higher chance of doing it succesfully.

That's my idea, I would love for this to happen. Imagine a team that's crazy superior like the Pats and just rapes everyone, or a team so bad the Dolphins would laugh at them.

My Mass Effect review so far at 14 hours!!!! ...Wait... it's over already?
Xerosnake90 | 8:36 PM on 11.26.2007 21 comments


So no, this isn't REALLY a review. It's kinda me showing my dissapointment. I'm 14 hours into the game and already done. I didn't expect this at all, the game seemed so incredibly amazing yet that was for sure the shortest RPG I've ever played in my life. I didn't get the 'beat the majority of the game' award so I'm gonna try to find out what the hell all that is about. I guess my lack of side quests kept me from that one. Shit, Now I'll have to play it possibly 3 times more after that. I hate games like that ~.~;

Otherwise, amazing fucking game. And hot alien sex made me really feel that Liara was an awesome person.

Xerosnake90's 360 GH3 review!
Xerosnake90 | 8:45 PM on 10.28.2007 2 comments


Having played GH3 for a good 4 hours or so, I will give my impressions. And they'll be ordered, not a mess.

Graphics: Out of all the Guitar hero games, this game obviously has the best. The character models are nice, not edgy in anyway, and just overall nice. The downfall to the graphics are the effects/stages/ and crowd. The crowd is usually bland and doesn't move past the same animation, the arenas usually look cartoony when viewed up close and it really is just odd. The characters are now full 3D, the stages should as well. Besides that graphics are wonderfull and shouldn't dissapoint.

Gameplay: Much like all other guitar heroes, the main gameplay is the same. There are 2 big changes, the layout and the HOPO system. The layout we've all seen, and the HOPO system we've all spoken about but let me put it in my words. It definetely is much much easier. I found myself not even struggling to try to beat the solo for Cult of Personality, or Number of the beast. It just all feels so easy. But whilest I'm there, I will go out on a limb and say something else. In previous GH games when you saw a continuation of HOPO notes, it'd all go in one straight line or whatever. In this game, they like to have a few notes that are HOPO and than interrupt it with a normal note out of no where, and than continue the HOPO. Is this more realistic? I don't know, but it is somewhat of a nuisance.

The guitar: The guitar is awesome, I have to say. Just because it's wireless doesn't make it worse, it corresponds just like a wired guitar. I only complain that it can't use the rechargable pack instead of HAVING TO USE BATTERIES. It sucks, good thing I have rechargable ones. The buttons don't feel as slick as the SG ones, maybe I gotta oil 'em up or something, and occasionally the guitar won't register the notes being pressed. Not a huge deal on my guitar, but it happens.

The songs: I'll put it this way, the line-up definetely won't dissapoint. THe last 10 songs are all amazing, all the ones before that have 1 or 2 good songs in each tier. Now, here is a complaint I have about the songs. The 7th tier, 3 of the songs are almost completely chords. It's the worst case of mapping I have ever seen, because it's just ridicolous. I failed that stupid first song because it decides to have retarted notes everywhere. And than I failed the next 2 at least 2 or 3 times before beating them. Not fun, after those 3 the game goes back to goodness. I haven't beaten the damn devil yet, because it's unfair. He gets a powerup and you don't have the chance to get one as well, so it gives you a huge disadvantage. The songs are amazing though, and there ya go.

Online: Don't let anyone tell you it sucks, it's awesome. There are 2 problems I have with it though. Finding matches takes a good few seconds to even get a list of them. Most of the connections are shit, but you can still join. Now, ALOT of the matches you try to join will give you a 'game is no longer available' problem. That wouldn't bug me as much if it wouldn't have to load for the songs all over again. STUPID. And number 2, responsiveness. I was playing a battle, first to 3. I was easily taken out with a lefty flip on My name is Jonas. I returned the favor by using Lefty on Cliffs of Dover. The final song was Paint it black. Now this is what pissed me off, we were playing for a while throwing shit all around and we were both almost done. I used double notes, and an overload. I also got a whammy at that moment and knew he would be done. Now here we go, I tilted my guitar like a madman to use that whammy but it fucking wouldn't! And now he unleashes whoopass on me and I lose because the fucking whammy didn't work. That shit BETTER get fixed....

Overall: The game is awesome. Don't bitch about it, just buy it, it's fuckin sweet.

So I saw Linkin Park last night...
Xerosnake90 | 4:52 PM on 09.09.2007 13 comments


And I had these shitty bleacher seats in the back, and it sucked and was boring ;_;


But before the concert started I said FUCK THAT SHIT! So I walked down to the pit, cuz no one stopped me from doing so, and stood nearly right in front of the stage. It took them an extra 15 minutes to actually come out cuz of the damn sound crew n' shit, but as soon as they came out they started it up with One step closer. And that's some fucking rockage right there, and we all started jumping and singing like crazy and from then on we were rocking out for an hour and half. It was fucking AWESOME!

Fuck what you heard about shitty sounds, or out of tune guitars. It was perfect, it sounded as good, if not better than there albums! And no lie. I saw youtube videos live, did no justice whatsoever. They are AMAZING live. If you ever have doubts, don't. If you love LP, you'll fucking love them. It was so sweet! Can't wait 'till the next time I see them! AHHHHHHHHH!!! *Rocks out*
