Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy

General Overview

A frustrating adventure platforming game with an even more frustrating inventory system that will constantly have you pulling your hair out, not only because it’s difficult, but also because it requires constant backtracking and remembering where you set down object X for puzzle Y. And yet, it’s still one of the most charming, fun, challenging, and addictive adventure games you’ll ever play.

Dead Space 2

General Overview

I’ve become so jaded with today’s attempts at creating a horror game of any kind that anytime one anywhere remotely interesting slaps me in the face, I crave more, usually only to find it’s not much of a horror game, even by 90s’ standards. Dead Space was a rare exception and the sequel, being insurmountably better, is easily recommendable by yours truly.

The Day After- An iMPACT Wre….Open Fight Night Review

So after last weeks announcement of TNA doing a Open Fight Night where anyone can challenge the champion of their choice, minus of course the KO Tag champs because that belt is now in possession of the comedic duo of Eric Young and ODB. What made it also extra interesting when announced was now they were doing the Gut Check Challenge on Impact, I couldn’t wait. Hogan started off the proceedings strong with him going around with the respective champs in drill sargent fashion and in perticular Bobby Roode. I was excited at what was in store.

Right before deflation
And then Jeremy Borash came out to challenge a man who should not be there. Eric B****** who name gets conveniently bleeped when said. Borash is the first to issue an open challenge and its against another non wrestler?

Bully Ray comes out and attacks Borash setting him up to be pinned by B******* who is attempting to get one last heel heat attempt before vanishing from television.

Devon defends his title. Which is nice considering he is the television champion. Who does he challenge? His former partner Bully Ray, I was smelling a rekindled feud coming right before Devon beat him but there is still hope.

Chavo on Helium or as he likes to be called Anarquia calls out an American and gets Kurt Angle. So seeing how neews has been running rampant about Anarquia being removed from the TNA roster page I see this as his farewell match which in typical fashion sees him getting embarasseed on the way out. I will not be missing Chavo lite.

NEw Prospect Alex Silva is announced for the Gut check challenge to take on Robbie ? yeah he loses. Not the best way to present prospects putting them up against comic parody relief.

WHy am I here? Just because

Tessmacher challenges and then pins Gail Kim, Nuff said. Finally a fresh feud with an actual knockout who I can root for who’s name doesn’t start with a V. Non title match.

tessmacher I love you boyfriend and your wrestling too.
A three way tag team is turned into a one on one event when Daniels and Kaz are told to leave. Samoa Joe picks up a win on Anderson after him and his partner where reinacting a broken home scenario in the ring. Daniels and Kaz attack and we finally have another team added to the tag division now just get two more to make it interesting. How about TMDK from OVW, think about it TNA.

the mighty don’t kneel
And to close the show why not bring the man who you’ve kicked off the show back for one finally bow. Eric and his wrestlers from Lockdown come out and fight with Garett Bischoff and his wrestlers resulting in E. B******* ending up covered in shit poop I mean poop have to keep the language down my daughter is watching me type.

What do I think of the first OFN, eh could of been better with more emphasize on bringing out better matches instead of having this Eric going away party thrown by his former arch enemy Ric Flair. But hopefully next month it will be taken more seriously and lets not have the GutCheck Challenge opponent take on Robbie E.

Pintnoir out.

Wonderpod Episode 107

This week on Wonderpod. Most of the crew has returned from the hinter lands for this weeks show. We gave Glasenator the week off and a medal of freedom. Gunsage filled his slot in the show and as you might guess we talked video games. On a related note Skype needs to really stop hanging out with hookers. It’s causing problems.

Noitu Love 2 Devolution

General Overview

Action, platforming, shooting, and much more go on in Noitu Love 2 and in a way that you’re tempted to compare it to the likes of Cave Story, Contra, Metal Slug, or even Megaman, yet you can’t because it’s so crazy, over the top, and original in its execution and style. Especially with such a low price tag, it’d be a crime to pass this one up.

The True Price of VideogamesThe True Price of VideogamesThe True Price of Videogames

Something I’ve been thinking about for a while is what I think videogames are really worth. When I was a kid, videogames were traditionally $40 brand new and would often go down in price within a year. Now, while the pricing scheme is usually the same, just scaled to $60 instead of $40 to start, I’d like to point out that a lot of games REALLY aren’t worth $40, let alone $60.

Now we have an interesting situation where there are both indie and mainstream titles being sold at considerably less, such as $30, $15, $5, or even $1 in many cases. There’s also free to play, which basically relies on giving you samplings of the game and then much more if you choose to “invest.” This has led to a number of questions, all of which I’m going to attempt to tackle right now.

Dragon Dogma Demo

I finished up all my work this morning just before noon. Now I had the toughest decision of my day. Watch porn or play video games.  I was leaning towards porn until someone I follow on twitter mentioned Dragons Dogma. It’s demo dropped today and it’s an RPG I had yet to hear of. I am always up for a good RPG demo, so I went off to download it. Oh wait it’s from Capcom I muttered to myself. Oh well I will play it anyway and see how it goes.

BWF Radio Episode 19BWF Radio Episode 19BWF Radio Episode 19

This week, ThinkSoJoE, G, and JT discuss RAW, SmackDown and Impact. They discuss the slight rise and sudden downfall of TNA Wrestling, how ridiculous it is that Eric Bischoff isn’t allowed to use his own name, and the lack of a draw for TNA’s latest Pay Per View. Worked shoots are all the rage this week – Mick Foley and Dean Ambrose’s war of words on twitter, and Steve Austin cooling the talk of possibly stepping back in the ring with CM Punk. The talk turns to popular Canadian bands, and a slight discussion on whether Tupac Shakur is actually dead or not. It’s one of the most random wrestling shows on the ‘net, aside from NXT (also a topic of discussion), so click the link below and tune in!
