Sack it to me!

I got this cute Sackboy doll from the FYE store in the mall Thursday. It was only $12, and they have four different characters in total. I went for the basic one for now, and might get two of the Sackgirl ones. It's really nice, made of really good material, and looks just like the little guy from the game. The only negative thing I can say about it is that the zipper is plastic. It would have been really cool if they made it with a metal zipper and track, and maybe even be able to unzip his stomach, but maybe that's asking too much.




I just felt like sharing this, other than that I've been going on a trophy hunt. Just today I got three trophies for the Bad Company story mode, two in God of War II, and four in Uncharted 2.


Nothing much else in the way of games, but I totally enjoyed the EA podcast this week with Mike and Jerry from Penny Arcade as guests! Go listen to it right now.

Polish Subtittles!

Polish subtitles are now available for videos 1-10 of the Drakan playthrough! If you don't want them there, click on the little box at the bottom right of the videos and uncheck them. Also, a 2 part video of an online match in Battlefield: Bad Company is up. Played on the RU side. The match ended in victory. I managed to get 13 kills with only 3 deaths, granted I was in the light tank for a good amount of time, it was still a good match for me! Go watch here. A match in Bad Company 2 will be up shortly.

Oh! Be sure to fallow me on Twitter if you want to stay updated with what I'm playing, or doing on the channel.

Yep, I made a Twitter because I thought people would care what I'm playing, or what I think, haha, well if you wanna fallow me or whatever, go right ahead, maybe this will be fun? At least you'll be able to know why it's taking me so long to get anything new up ha!

Bad Company 2 and God of War Collection

I played the multiplayer demo of Battlefield 2: Bad Company last night, and was overwhelmed at first. They changed a lot of the controls around. Now the knife if on R2, and to change a weapon is now triangle! By the way I’m playing on PS3 if you haven’t noticed by now. Not only were the controls shuffled around, but the game just felt a lot more… heavier to me. Like the movement of the character was, well it was like you were running through knee-high water. Or pudding even, if you’re the kind of person where analogies make you hungry. I got the hang of it after a while, and found myself loving the medic kit, or class, or whatever. I love giving amateur snipers health and reviving them every five minutes because they never stay in cover. And I know if I wasn’t playing a medic, there wouldn’t be anyone to revive or give me health like I do for them! Which kinda sucks when thinking about it, but mostly everyone is a mechanic, like, 80% of the time the camera goes in to show me my killer, it’s a mechanic! Well, I got a lot of points, and a crap ton of metals, most of who’s purpose I couldn’t determine. There’s just too much stuff to read now, especially coming from 1943. But hey, it looks like all my friends might be getting it, so I won’t have to play alone that much, hopefully.

Speaking of playing alone, I’ve actually went back to single player games for a while. I’ve been playing God of War 1 from the PS3 GoW Collection. I’m at the battle with Ares, and have gone through the game on hard difficulty for the first time! The first time I beat the game I switched to easy from normal when facing the first of the Cerberus dogs. This time I just used the medusa head and broke it to pieces! I feel kinda cocky getting through the game on hard mode; it is a hard game to start off with, right? Also, I got the trophy for the thing in Hades, whatever it was, and I’ve heard that was supposed to be crazy difficult? Oh, speaking of trophies, I’m at 8 hours now so I have to beat the game again to get the 5 hour completion trophy, which should be easy just doing it again of easy, and not bothering with all the extra chests. Oh, one last thing, the trophy for maxing out all the weapons, yeah, should you be able to get it one the first play through, because I am at Ares, and I have like two or three weapons still at level 2, so… I don’t think I missed any chests, and I killed every enemy! I don’t remember not being able to max out all the weapons the first time I finished it… I don’t know. That’ll suck having to beat it a third time. I want to finish #2 before three comes out too. Oh well… All for me know, Primal is being slowly chipped at, I’ll be done… some time. Maybe before the end of spring break. I’m just so lazy when it comes to editing the damn footage. I mean I can sit there and play it for the one or two hours, but splitting it all into ten or eleven 10 minute videos is a pain, and then I have to render and upload each of them, so that’s like a whole day for three videos… I don’t remember Drakan kicking my ass like this, and that was a 99 part play through!

...ok enough, later for real this time.

Battlefield Bad Company: My Best Match

I’ve been playing a lot of Battlefield Bad Company since I got it for Christmas. I really like it, and I’ve been doing quite well. In one match I managed to get 14 kills with only 4 deaths, and in another, one you’ll see on the channel soon, I got 13 kills with a meager 3 deaths. The first one I wasn’t able to capture, but it was far more impressive.

I was in the map “Over There”, the one with the wide open corn field. I was the specialist class, and stationed up in the second floor of one of the barns with the flag in the center of it. You could call it camping, but I call it defending a base. At the end of the match the barn was the last remaining base under our control, and all the enemy players were coming for it.

To prepare for the eminent onslaught, I threw down a C4 charge down to the flag, and waited for someone to attempt to take the flag. It didn’t take long for them to get there, and one right after another they were blown up by a C4 explosive charge dropping from the second floor. Oh they tried, unlading clip after clip to try to suppress my fire so they could get a guy up the ladder, but I kept nailing them. At this point I had only four hit points left, and they started sending guys up the ladder, brandishing knives right as they go to the second floor, but were immediately gunned down before they got in striking distance. They managed to spawn a few soldiers on the second floor in squads, but they were to slow to react all of them. I can’t remember, but I think we won that match, and I ended up staying through to finish on that last spawn.

It was incredible, a match I wish I captured. I did manage to take a pic of the results, but you would have to have seen the action to believe it. I was shaking with adrenaline, taking out player after player with only four hit points; surly only one shout would have taken me down! I love it when a match comes along where everything seems to come together. Damn this game is exhilarating.

Primal Behind the Scenes

Just got done capturing the 15 minute or so behind the scenes footage off of the Issue 63 OPM demo disc. I'll wait till I finish the playsthrough, or at least get through the parts the show in the videos because it could be considered spoilers, or whatever... Anyway it shows the voice actors behind the mics, development footage, a short summery of the premise and story, and a bit about the band the band that provided music for the game, 16 Volt. So look for that in the near future!

Wow... I didn't even finish the first game! I had the money, and wanted it... for some reason... $25 well spent? It's realy big, and heavy too. So yeah, I guess GoW Collection can wait...
