I need some advice. (PS3 and Orange Box)
wesman | 3:01 PM on 04.29.2008 9 comments


I been unfaithful in my long lasting relationship to Nintendo. I have eyes for another, the PS3.
I have yet to buy one, I will when Metal Gear comes out in the box set. but Grand Theft Auto IV is on the list of "Must Haves", so you see that this day is difficult for me. Anyways My list Of games Consists of Metal Gear Solid, Grand Theft Auto, And The Orange box.



I just recently started paying attention to the ps3 so I'm a little behind the times with PS3 info.
I really like Team Fortress 2, is it any good on PS3?



Also, click this, I know the Video sucks and the song is old, but i need views, Dammit.

Whats the point Nintendo?
wesman | 12:12 AM on 01.08.2008 15 comments


I was thrilled to see the VC releases today. I downloaded Startropics the minute I heard it was released. This was one of the first games I ever played, and I can remember how much I loved it. The weirdest thing is that my mom beat it before me (crazy, huh). Anyways before I get to the first dungeon, I noticed something odd. In the original game the first weapon you get in the game is a yoyo, but on the VC version of the game you get a "Star".

This is from the original NES game


And this is from the VC game


Whats the point NOA? Is it less offensive? because the sprite of the yoyo seems unchanged. Is the word "star" easier to put in the game? Because the word "yoyo" and "star" are the same amount of letters. Heck, Is it a homage to "Super Mario"?

I mean why change it? Because, lets face it, Most of the people that will download it will be fans that played the game before. Why not keep it the same for them. It really doesn't bug me that they changed the yoyo (Well, it bugged me enough to blog about it) but it seems like a pointless effort on Nintendo's part.

Now I know what your thinking, "This isn't nearly important enough to blog about." and to that I say, "you know what, I guess your right, but I'm doing it anyways."

Finals
wesman | 9:28 PM on 12.02.2007 7 comments


Finals are just around the corner , and studying seems so unappealing compared to all the fancy new Vidya games out.

... but I cant help but wonder would it would be like if Smash Bros Brawl didn't get delayed to February. Remember when it was December 3, it would be released tomorrow. Tomorrow. I would have declared it an national holiday and skipped the next few months of life. So guess the delay isn't all bad, But there still is "UR MR GAY" to distract me.

Happy Finals every one.
