I'm back bitches. I didn't make a post last week because of a lack of things I learned. Which is Ironic seeing as last week was my first week of classes. I guess I could have pulled something together but I was too busy playing Arkham Asylum so fuck all of you.
Oh and thanks for the birthday post last week Blehman. Luv you meng.
1. I must have Blazblue Continuum shift. I don't care if they decide to make it into an entirely new game I need it. The promise of new ways to curse people with Arakune and two new characters is enough for me. I can't wait until they announce the other character. Here's hoping that it's Jubei.
2. Batman: Arkham Asylum is outstanding. Yeah, I know that I am a little late to the party but due to certain circumstances I wasn't able to get it until a little over a week ago. I finally have a Batman game that's good.
3. The boss battles in Batman Arkham Asylum are really dissapointing. Especially since all of them are copies of the bane Boss battle, with the exception of Ivy that is.
4. I have just been sold on Dante's Inferno. The demo at Pax was great but the promise of demon babies that come out of giant breasts is so awesome I must have it.
5. Samit is getting alot of abuse in podtoid as of late, even more than usual. And I love it.
6. The addition of Frank West in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is the best thing ever. I thought him being added to the game was cool when it was leaked but you don't really appreciate how cool it is until you see it in action. I think I am going to have a new main. Sorry Karas, but you can't beat that servebot helmet super.
7. I need to check the resolution of images before I upload stuff to Destructoid. The artwork I uploaded looked awfully fuzzy after I published the blog.
8. Crackdown looks interesting, although the whole freaks things seems an awful lot like Prototype.
9. The second Atom bomb dropped on Japan was a conspiracy so Samit couldn't get any asian poontang.
10. Adam dork can never have enough chicken nuggets.
Alright, it has been awhile since I have done this, mainly because I didn't have access to a good scanner and I was doing other stuff over the summer that was preventing me from putting up more of my artwork. Well finally, here is a new edition of aborto's sketchbook. I can tell you are very excited.
However keep in mind that these are rough and I haven't had time to go over them and clean them up in photoshop so it is possible you will see some pencil marks and smudges so keep that in mind.
I know Yojimbo likes people drawing pictures of samurai's for him, and I have always promised to make him one, but never got around to it until now. I was going to give it to him at PAX, I mounted it and everything, but the motherfucker didn't end up coming. FUUUUUUUUU!
Another one I always meant on doing but never really amounted to anything other than random sketches in class notes. I finally decided to sit down and do it after PAX though. The idea was that it was some sort of spoiled milkshake monster coming out of the cup, but I don't think that comes of very well. Oh well, the colors are pretty so there is always that.
Stuff done on the plane ride to PAX. I wanted a new avatar and I wanted it to be something pokemon related so I was just screwing around. If somebody wants to resize one of them and use them as an avatar that's fine by me, but nobody can use Sagatachu! he is fucking mine so keep your gruppy hands off of him!
Next on the agenda: More Dtoid community member drawings, a banner for drunkcast (not because they asked but because I feel like it damn it), and a coonskin plushie. see you next time I finally decide to upload stuff!
This is going up a little early since I will not be available to put this up tomorrow.
I was right to the left of Dyganth when he filmed this. You can see my hands in the corner of the screen
and you can hear me singing off key like a jackass.
Yeah bitches, PAX has come and gone and I have to say it was damn awesome. Significantly less awesome because I wasn't getting drunk with everybody but still bloody awesome. On the other hand, I remember things that were probably a blur for everybody else, that way I can blackmail you all later. That being said, I have some highlights of the weekend I would like throw out there before I go into the other stuff:
1. Anthony inadvertantly calling Niero a fucking nobody at the HAWP panel
2. The Destructoid panel and Chad's song at the end
3. Me causing BPG to rage quit our match of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.
4. Everybody breaking out singing "a whole new world" randomly in a bar.
5. Samit being presented his birthday cake.
6. Kryptinite accidentally eating one of the candles off of Samit's cake
The last one was particularly funny. And he didn't spit it out when he realized what it was because he's a man! Unlike all you sissy men who would have probably spit it out. anyway, let's do this!
1. Analogue is a very silly drunk
2. Necros finally started Deadspace! Fucking finally, took him long enough.
3. I am garbage at Blazblue on an arcade stick. I have always known I wasn't that good on arcade sticks but I didn't think I was that bad. I couldn't use any of my combos for Arakune damn it!
4. I am really fucking good at Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. This is probably the only exception that I have ever come across where I am actually good with an arcade stick. It was really a great experience going on a winning streak in an arcade because that has never happened to me before.
5. Pokemon Rumble is going to be badass. It is basically Dynasty Warriors with Pokemon and you can switch between any of the original 150 on the fly. And what makes it even more awesome is that it is a Wiiware game so it will be cheap.
6. The jockey in L4D2 is one creepy ass motherfucker.
7. Dungeon Fighter online actually looks pretty fun. Which I find surprising.
8. It is really fun pestering debloo about PAX
9. I need the Marvel vs. Capcom 2 arcade stick. I don't care that I am shit with them. that thing looks fucking amazing.
10. I really hope that the believed character leak is not true for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. Frank West is awesome but fuck all those other characters, especially zero. The game already has two Megaman characters, it doesn't need a fucking third. I wanted Nemesis damn it!
Before I get down to it there are some things I want to get out of the way. One, I am making a talking Drunkcast Coonskin plushie and I was wondering what Coonskin quote people wanted him to say. And two, I will not be making a post next week because of PAX.
Anyway......
1. Garou Mark of the Wolves is the sexy time
2. Khusnood Butt is now one of my new favorite fighting game characters. He is a black karate master with a pompadour that eats fried chicken and fights bears, which is unbelievably badass.
3. Section 8 is a pile of shit. At least that is what the demo leads me to believe. It is like Quake Wars but even more boring to play, which is saying something because Quake Wars was really fucking boring. At least Quake Wars had interesting mechs or interesting Strogg classes. This is just Halo with levels that are so damn big that you can go minutes without coming across an enemy.
4. Wet looks pretty damn good. It's like a Stranglehold that doesn't suck. That being said I am going to remain skeptical. The demo for Stranglehold was awesome but the game just turned out to be that 10 minutes in the demo repeated over and over again for 10 hours. That and I can see some aspects of it being really annoying, like that stupid animation that occurs after everytime you drink beer to regain life.
5. Left 4 Dead 2 is going to be playable at PAX. I don't know about you, but I am not even going to bother. The line for it at Comic Con was long and I would imagine this one would be pretty damn long as well.
6. That the the rest of Bioshock after killing Ryan in Bioshock is really half-assed. I was playing through it for the second time and I decided to play through for the evil ending just for the hell of it since I got the good ending the first run through and even though I killed every goddamn Little Sister Tenenbaum still saves me. I guess it makes a little sense, she wants to get rid of Fontaine, but what doesn't make sense is how her hideout was filled with cured Little Sisters. The first time around it made sense, they were all the little sisters I saved but this time it didn't make sense. It's like they just intended you to be good and didn't bother to change how the game turns out other than those bogus cutscenes at the end. What especially bugs me is that you get turned into a Big Daddy, yet they don't change the characters model. Your characters hands stay the same even though you should be wearing a big daddy suit.
7. It would seem they are considering making a District 9 sequel, which baffles me. I think they ended it perfectly, why fuck that up. Unless it has nothing to do with District 9 and is just based in that Universe which would be pretty badass.
8. This FNF is going to be another Tumbleweed Edition
9. Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland looks like Fail
10. The community has lost their fucking balls. I have been meaning to write about this for quite some time Juggernat's blog finally made me realize it needed to be said. Why the fuck is everybody being so nice to newbies who fail? I can understand being nice and telling them what they are doing is wrong but very few people are doing that. How the hell are they going to know what they are doing is wrong if nobody bloody explains it to them? What we did in the past may seem dickish but it fucking worked, I am proof of that. If I wasn't flamed I would have just kept on doing the bullshit I did in my first blog post and even though it made me really angry at the time I am grateful somebody called me out on it. People need to stop being so bloody nice.
That's right I am bringing RFG back. I know Blehman was considering doing it this FNF but fuck that shit. They will probably just end up playing L4D like a bunch of hippies and I am not going to be available to kickass on Friday. So 10 PM EST this Saturday I will be hosting Some Red Faction. If you have the balls you will see me there. If not, I will probably just end up playing MVC2 with Debloo anyway. Bitch, I want to kick ass with the Rhino pack.
1. I am now getting a PS3. I have said that before but I actually intend to do so now. I have been waiting awhile for it to drop into my price range and now I think I can finally afford it. Surprisingly, It wasn't the price cut that has made me come to this decision. It is the announcement of the PS3 slim. One of the things that turned me off of the PS3 was its size and shape and the slim.
2. Prototype is infuriating. It's a pity, because the core gameplay is really fun but lengthy animations, boring side missions and really fucking irritating enemies has made this by far the most irritating game I have played this year. What really pisses me off is that every mistake it makes is something some other previous open world game did and them not fucking fixing or removing those pieces of gameplay nobody fucking likes. Like the fucking minigames and lengthy animations required to get into a fuckng vehicle. Mercenaries made this mistake a year ago and every magazine and website tore into it for that. But did the Prototype devs listen? No. This is why I don't like open world games too much, I always get dissapointed in the final product.
3. McDonald Playplaces are like The Thunderdome for Toddlers.
4. Juggsy is back! Huzza! That makes me a happy panda.
5. Turtles in time Reshelled is a bit shit. Which saddens me, it seems that everything with the TMNT name on it now is shit. I will stick to the original thank you very much.
6. Battlefield 1943 is boring as shit. Maybe it was because there were only like 4 people playing with me in the demo but either way I am not impressed.
7. It is painful having all these XBLA games coming out. I only have so much money and since the prices for them has gone up it is really difficult making a decision. Bah, at least I scratched Battlefield 1942 off that list.
8. Apparently Unstoppable Juggernaut and Ron Workman are the same person.
9. Apparently Samit is a pooping Penguin.
10. I missed another round of joke blogs. Goddamn it, why am I never around when everybody decides to do something silly?
My brother loves this movie. God knows why. It has gotten kind of creepy really
No interesting rant before this installment of 10 things. Mainly because I put off doing this until the last minute. I've been too busy kicking ass with my Tentacle Rape Squad in MVC2. You ready for the rape tonight folks? Because there is no escaping my Tag Team bitches.
1. Technophile has had enough of the creepy bullshit in the Hawp threads. Took long enough, that place was a goddamn Cesspool of creepiness. And yes, I realize the hypocrisy of calling somebody creepy when I post in the Atheistium fan thread so much but at least I am not being serious when I post in there.
2. Yojimbo is wrong again. How dare you say King of Fighters 12 is better than Blazblue! Nothing is better than Blazblue fool!
3. I now have a new Tag Team in MVC2, or as Snaileb aptly puts: my Tentacle Rape Team.
4. Agent Moo's Maximum overdeath is pretty cool.
5. I probably should have put a little more thought into the second half of it. I originally was planning for the second half to be something really, really demeaning but I thought better of it at the last minute. Meh, I guess Naim Master isn't complaining :D
6. I am really excited for Batman Arkham Asylum. I was always a little iffy in regards to this game because past Batman games have had a history of being shit. But the demo is really good. Short, but definitely good. That and Game Informer has gone so far as calling it this years Bioshock, which is pretty crazy.
7. Batman's Forehead is awfully large in Batman: Arkham Asylum. I think somebody wasn't paying attention in Anatomy class.
8. Microsoft is asking an awful lot for stupid add ons to the avatars. Seriously, five bucks for a lightsaber for your avatar? whoever pays for that needs a smack in the face.
9. I have realized with my contest that I haven't expressed how much I like Spawn. I like Venom and all but I absolutely love the Spawn series. I have been reading them since, well, ever since I could read actually and I have pretty much every issue up to when Todd Mcfarlane and Greg Capullo stopped working on it and it went to shit.
10. Dunkin Donuts has discontinued the Blueberry Bagel.
