Games 'n' Stuff


Posted on 01/26/2014 at 10:05 PM | Filed Under Blogs

I'm seeing Halo in a whole new light. The '85 Bears as Space Spartans led by captain Ditka in search of the Championship Ring World. Wow! Mind blown!

Borderlands 2 is pretty cool. I got annoyed at the very same thing I did in the first game, the wobbly aim. At first, I just thought the game was bad, but then I realized I just had to level up. I wish my gaming bud would show up so I can play it some more. It's even better than the first one.

I read Snow Crash just last year. I thought it was really cool. The opening where he's a pizza delivery driver was hilarious, and I use the term Flatland and Metaverse all the time now to refer to 2D and 3D virtual space. Oh yea, and I named all my characters in Etrian Odyssey IV after characters in the book like Hiro, Raven and YT.

An example of the weird I like in scifi was the show Lexx on TV. One of the catch phrases of the show, and one I use in my Twitter profile, is "so far so weird".

I read Philip K. Dick's Crack in Space written in 1966 and I saw so many 60's issues in the story. For one it's full of the Civil Rights issues of the day. Also, I remember a fashion designer once saying that all scifi stories are really about the present not the future citing all the sixties style costume and set design in Star Trek The Original Series. It's hard to write outside of the issues of the day, but I enjoy it more when a story achieves that.

Just saw I, Frankenstein. It was based on a graphic novel I found out in the credits. It wasn't bad. I saw it on IMAX 3D and I began to wonder why I would see any big visual movie like this any other way. The effects were stunning. Short synopsis: The Monster and a pretty scientist are caught up in a battle between angelic Gargoyles and Demons in business suits.

It was funny that Ozzy was kinda like your guide and mentor in the game. He said some funny things too as I remember.

I read something recently from back in the 60's. A short little book called simply Space War by Neil R. Jones. The main character died and was frozen floating in the vacuum of space, was picked up by aliens and his brain revived and put into a robot body where he became one of their leaders in a conflict with another aggressive alien race. It was so weird and wonderful. I want more stuff like that.

Ever thought of creating a band named Sneeze? I did but you can have it. You're welcome.

Holy bullet hell! Thunder Force is a blast to watch! I wanna shoot holes in the ceiling cowboy style I'm so loaded with excitement.

I've never monkeyed around with DK 64. I always though it was a straight up platformer and since those games make me go totally ape, I avoided it. I am totally bananas about DK Country though and since it sounds like DK 64 devs Rare did a monkey see monkey do with DK Country, I'm now a Curious George.

Why not just replace the internal hard drive? Those things are cheaper too.
