Well well well, to all those who care, I once again have internet (oh boy was it worth the wait as its now faster). I have a new job, in a new city, and im enjoying some new games. I mentioned in my last post that I was going to attend Game On, a history of videogames expo, I mangaed to get there on the last day and suffice to say it was pretty good. There were some great old games, I got to play Virtual Fighter, which was pretty lame actually, and in a sense best of all, Asteroid.



Asteroid blew me away, I had never seen the original machine and I have to say, I still don't know how they managed to create the graphics, the shots you fire in the game are super bright, and it seems to be on a regular monitor, very cool. Anyway, there were many other things to see, I played the original Street Fighter, or as it was quite hilariously titled, Fighting Street. Ken and Ryu have never been so wooden, but it was fun none the less and it was playing on a PC Engine with CD attatchment.


This is the one I played but I didn't take the pic

In addition to that I relived some childhood memories and played SNES Street Fighter 2, and it was as great as I remember. Unfortunately Camera's were not allowed, which in turn makes a liar out of me as I promised photos, oh well.



I also recently purchased MGS4, which was probably a stupid idea because I'm still playing GTA4, and a whole bunch of other unfinished gems. For a person who has never played a MGS game, I have to say that I'm enjoying it, I find it equal parts genuine emotion, retardedly cheesy, and great fun. Plus the graphics, particularly in cut scenes, are crazy good. It's just so camp that I love it, and I am surprisingly emotionally involved in the story and characters even though I often don't know whats going on.



So I really have to finish GTA4, I'm right at the end and its kind of becoming a chore to play, I just want to finish. I just finished the missions from the mafia guy whos in the hospital, I think I'm almost there. In addition to that game I have Assassins Creed, Burnout Paradise, Resistance, Dead Rising, and Rock Band to finish, I'm both horrified and excited at the prospect of finished them.

Ok I think I've ranted enough, quickly though, loving all of the announcements out of E3, I think I need a new PC to play some of the sweetness thats coming, like Biowares latest offering, and lets not forget Diablo 3. And not to seem like a traitor, but the guys a Giantbomb.com are doing a bang up job with thier coverage.

Catch ya all later.
