Hahaha! Finally made it here BIATCHES!!11
I know all of you were secretly plotting not to let me in here, but I prevailed! Thanks to my humongous scrotum and massive balls. My wang prevailed!
Smell my armpits!
Damn! Something ate my fuckin
blog post. Balls.
As a developer, images should have an alt value, but anyway, if you don't enter one it may as well just leave it blank (alt=""). I'll look into disabling it.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobilePhantom, dude, please choose an avatar before my brain explodes.
Happy?
I knew I should have put you on my friendlist (damn my lazyness) in G-spot. In my latest blog I anounced that I would be going to New York. I asked if some one had suggestion to what places I should visit, but the blog was largely ignored. The people who did reply where not from New York, so the blog was useless.
I am seriously wondering why I have 20+ people tracking me, but only 3 read my blog. Why are the other 18 tracking me? Is there any other point in tracking people besides reading their blogs?
But anyway you had no way of knowing about my visit. I think I will make a 7 part report from my experiences in NYC. I have lots of pictures.
P.S. my sister has lived in New York for the last 2.5 years, so she showed me around town and explained the subway system, so all was fine!
Happy as Steel's anii!
Bobovic: Your blogs don't show up in my tracked blogs on GS.
Stupid shitty website. >_<
So I've been fucking with the MGS games again lately. After replaying Sons of Liberty and Twin Snakes, I'm amazed how much better MGS2 looks and sounds, over Twin Snakes. TS came out 3 years later on better hardware and all, and still Silicon Knights couldn't match what Konami did on the PS2.
And MGS4 is pure awesome, although the end is pissing me off a bit.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, site has crapped out on me several times doing the updates.
Internet explorer cannot display the webpage or whatever.
That link dohicky thing isn't that reliable, it works sometimes, sometimes not. GG's getting upset!
Sweet Tomb Raider Underworld shot:
I'd like to play it with the Wii controls again, like Anniversary...but I don't know if I can pass up the insane graphics it appears to have on the other machines. The Wii version better look damn good.
That happened to me too. I thought we had lost the site, haha....
Don't bother, I found that you can hit the enter key and it skips it fast enough. I'm more concerned with my posts/news updates not working. I hit the submit button sometimes and it says processing and it never ends processing. I lost 3 posts here.
Yeah it is a really niche looking title, it's one of those games that you can tell wont sell from the very first screen. And after playing Okami I can understand why that didn't sell either, even though it's a good game.
Thanks man, and for your reply to my comment last week on site improvements.
Let me know how that game is. I played the demo and broadly liked it. It was a bit of a free for all and I found that it may be a game I might find repetitive. How does the platforming work? If there is any?
MASS EFFECT
I played it for 2 hours last night. Really enjoyed it. Nice story, nothing original but a nice atmosphere and 70s sci-fi production design. Combat works very well too, I prefer it to GRAW and GOW personally. What I don't like is the billion options in the menu which I cannot be bothered with and dialogue trees are useless and annoying. The only other complaint I have is that the enviroments are too big. It's like developers want size and scope to impress cinematically but it screws with the actual game design. There is no balance, I don't want to push the stick forward for 20 minutes just to walk where I want to. It's a lot of useless space.
NIGHTS INTO DREAMS (Wii) Damn I miss post titles
I got this yesterday for the price of a buffet lunch. It's.............. ehh. WTF is this game?
You run around as a kid and throw some orbs about then fly about on a 2-D plane and sort of swish the stick around. This is a game?!
Well I have to admit the clown boss was really fun, you have to bounce him to the top of this pinball table. Visually this game is great in some places and touching DC in others.
That's the one thing I can't do much about. The server is beyond my control.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileI think you mean, NiGHTS Journey of Dreams. Because NiGHTS into Dreams was the Saturn original.
NiGHTS is a score-based arcade game. The main purpose of NiGHTS is not just to fly through the levels and defeat the bosses (though you can do just that if you wish). The real fun of NiGHTS all about getting the highest score and rating. Trying to achieve an "A" rating on all levels can be very challenging and fun (if you like that sort of thing). When you fly through several blue orbs and such, there is a "Link" meter displayed. The goal is to try to fly through as many consecutive items as possible in order to create the longest Link that you can. The high score and rating depend on how long you maintained you Link, and how fast you completed the level. This is where the replay value lay in NiGHTS. There's also a bunch of secrets to find in each level too.
NiGHTS games are definately niche titles. Sonic Team tried to expand the game by including a story mode and a bunch of different gameplay modes that really didn't fit well with the original's gameplay (IMO) But it's still a fun game.
I agree. I may just have to get both the Wii and 360 versions.
