as many of you know gamespot was running a contest of the All time greatest video game hero, of course there were some very stiff competitions, but of course there was only one man I could vote for, The Freeman, of course since the repeated years of the same characters winning the same competitions, over and over again, I kind of gave up on them, but when I saw Gordon Freeman beat solid snake just by a few votes, there was something wrong in here, after that victory Gordon moved to fight against link, which was not an easy fight, link fanboys were raging and getting cocky, you know what? that was kind of delicious, but OUT OF THE BLUE, Valve came out with a propaganda to support Gordon, to absolutely every single steam user, this is when the game suddenly changed, link was beaten by more than 11,000 votes, when this happend, I finally came up with the conclusion that maybe Gordon has a small chance against mario's crazy fanbase, It was 6 long days of hardcore fighting. Well guess what? today at 3:00 the Victory was set, Gordon Freeman has won the Contest of the All time Greatest Game Hero. I am trully happy and I'm sure the whole steam community that made the whole change happen is pretty happy also, we have defeated the man that's who's name represents the definition of Video gaming. well It was mostly the war of fan bases but I think It was time for a little change.
since I live in Canada there is a little store called Zellers that had it early I didn't know about it until my friend called me and told me of this news, I rushed to the store not knowing how much money I had so of course that caused some money problems, so I went back around six and got it, I have been waiting for a while for this game, I am quite exited what this wolfenstein is gonna offer. I know it may not be hard to believe of course that I have before most people that preordered it in gamestop or ebgames that is suppose to come out this Tuesday but hey might as well post about it.
what I find hilarious of this game is that it still offers us the good old wolfenstein 3d difficulties, you know...
A long time Ago I had an "Interview" with specialist Higsby I did a little blog about it also not too long ago, just take a look at it if interested, he was working on a new super mario hack so called the super mario omega, through the years of development he had to take some brakes and could not work on it last summer, but now It's full speed ahead with this brand new hack, I will make sure to play this in it's release date, there are specific levels that I am very interested and looking forward to play them, so here it is the Super Mario Omega trailer...
for more information or questions about this hack please follow this website http://www.freewebs.com/higsby/
the brand new game 3d realms and 2k just announced, 2k agreed to finish the funding so we will get duke nukem forever, and DUKE NUKEM ORIGINS, the story of how the king became to be what he is now... ok so maybe I'm a bad liar so what? atleast this will bring a smile to you're face from 3drealms big screw ups, but yet again they are not out of business and DNF hasn't been cancelled, Always bet on duke. :) you are probably wondering how I made this... probably not but I'll tell you anyways, I used cutscenes from saint's row 2. :D awesome game.
so yea this little trailer that I made is fake but it's pretty amazing.
is this it 3d realms? is this the last im gonna be seeing of you? are you just gonna say goodbye? just like that and leave? you were my childhood, my life, you were all I knew about video games, I grew up with the KING! and now out of nowhere you are just gonna burst out of every single person that loved you or worked with you, I can understand this was all "money" trouble but it's funny how money can destroy something that I was attached with for so long, goodbye 3drealms I will always remember you as that company that reminded me what games were trully about, but now what's gonna happen with the game that most duke fans waited for? after 13 years? duke nukem forever... well I guess we better tune next time and wait for someone to buy the rights to duke nukem probably the 2k forums are being flodded with cries of help from 3drealm fans asking them for help.
Goodbye 3drealms to some people you are just another gameing company but for me, and every other duke fan you are what got us into video gameing to us you are still a running company :D
First of all I would like to say that It was a pain in the ass to get this game, EB games is my local video game store and when I heard that street fighter 4 was right around the corner I freaked out and when out to pre-order it, before this happened I took a look when it was gonna come out and Ign.com said the 17th so I said "awesome!" as I walk to eb games to pre order I ask the guy when It was gonna come out and he said the 18th "uhhh ok..." but I did not trust them cause of the fact that they fucked me over before, so I decided to go the 17th and 18th. So the 17th came in and I ran to get it, so as I go there the guy tells me "sorry it is coming out the18th" so I am like "FUCK!" as I return home disapointed my phone goes off and I look at the id and it says "electronic bout" uh oh! I pick up and the guy tells me that it is in today, that it came late whatever blah blah blah you have until thursday... you're kidding me right? THIS IS FUCKING CANADA do you know how cold it is outside? so I went later and I got it and I should say IT WAS WORTH IT! fucking game rules!
The combat dept of the game is insane, don't bother doing the same move over, and over again. Arcade mode, challenges,like over 10 difficulties and, 25 characters that will blow you away, it's good to say that street fighter is once again living, graphics are great, and they add a little anime clip on the starting depending on what character you chose. I know you won't get it just because I recomend it but I RECOMEND IT! it is a must get fighting game if you like fighting games well of course this is for you cause street fighter after all is the godfather of fighting games, you have no excuse of not getting it.

Valve has been in my mind ever since back in 1997 when my uncle brought a pirated copy of half life 1 (yes it's a crime)
I played it and it was like love at first site, when half life 2 was announced in 2004 my fanboy meter exploded couldn't wait but unfortunately back in 2004 my computer was a piece of crap, and I didn't have a xbox at the time either, so I was screwed, but of course I got my xbox along with the game, I gotta admit the second one I liked alot more, later on I got a new pc and added a new graphics card and NOW I own every single game valve has ever developed in steam. do I still play them all? not really after all I would choose team fortress 2 more than classic any day. half life in my personal opinion has the greatest story line of video gaming, the second greatest is fallout, Of course this is my personal opinion you don't have to get medieval on me.
one more thing, ALAN MOORE IS GOD! well the graphic novel god.
