Dissapointed at living his life on the edge, running away from ghosts to eat small pebbles, Pacman, hoping to impress his crush, gets a job as a plumber. It paid well and there wasn’t a danger of imploding. But one day, in a pipe, he sees a cherry growing out of it, under a mushroom. Unaware that the poisons might have transferred, he eats it, when he fall into a fantasy inside a coma. His crush, Ms. Pacman has been kidnapped be the Ghost king, and in order to save her this plumber will have to travel through the lands of the Cherry kingdom. Will he survive? Only time, will tell….
I was experiencing some pretty big control lag, so at the end when there were lots of zombies on the screen it was about 2 full seconds of lag before my movement kicked in, and why I went on what seemed like a suicide run.All the specials I’ve been working on for the blog have catasrtophically failed, so that’s the main reason I haven’t been able to post anything.
Which is a funny thing to say considering about 5 minutes after this post I realised the audio failed to get embedded into the video because I was borrowing it from another computer so that when I was saving the file and the music wasn’t available it freaked out and removed the audio.
I hold a secret. Actually, it’s not a secret at all, I tell many people about it. That I hate runescape. It’s true, I think that if I wanted to play a game like runescape I would just dunk my head in a bucket of sea water with my eyes open. I will put cubes at the bottom and it is my duty to throw the cubes at each other, and when they come into contact I get a cardboard cutout of the number 0 and throw it at them, and 1 in 100 time they come into contact I throw a cardboard cutout of the number 1 at it.
Runescape looks like it really had the potential to be mildly entertaining, I wanted to explore it a bit more and decided to get membership, but there really was no point to it. I then proceeded to go to the closest village available and pickpocketed the same villager what I’m suspecting 1000 times with her falling for it again and again, and when I get caught, she slaps me for *gasp* 1 damage! I have 27 health, and usually that 1 damage heals by the time I get hit again, or if I have a run of bad luck then I get all the oodles of cash I got from the same person to go buy chicken soup or some shit and magically heal 1 hp. I then just go back to pickpocketing. Eventually, I decided to start stealing from the gaurds, but they were just harder to pickpocket and gave exactly the same amount of gold as the peasant gave me, and the damage I took made me get more experience in the ‘hp’ skill which goes up when you take damage. So that means that my combat level actually went up, so by pickpocketing the same bloody person over and over I both got better at fighting and roughly the amount of gold that I suspect Kansas is worth. I probobly had more gold than 50% of the people in the game had, which is funnily enough the same amount of people who don’t even buy membership, which is the only way you can pickpocket. I finally decided that I was rich enough and decided to go EXPLORING! However, this wasn’t as exciting as I would have hoped as I wandered around for 4 bloody hours trying to find where to go when I discovered that I was looking at the wrong map on the website. This makes no sense that somebody someday in the game gm crowd decided to release an update that changed the entire landscape and forgot to delete the old map of said lanscape. Anyways, I found myself at the base of a volcano when all of a sudden this player jumped out of nowhere and stabbed me once, doing 54 health. Luckily, in the time I was pickpocketing the gaurd I went from 27 max HP to around about 60. I was still screwed, however, and got bloodily murdered.
Now, PvP is a touchy subject for me. If a game is entirely based on PvP, like Planetside, then I’m perfectly fine with it. But if a game is semi-based on PvP, then I have to check through a few checklists.
First off, if there is no avoiding PvP one time or another, then usually this is a bad thing. Games like CoH have a seperate area for PvP which ties into the non-PvP zones, but villains can’t go in to Paragon City and heroes can’t go into The Rouge Isles. Games like WoW somehow pull it off, mostly because there is only ever a benifit for defeating your level or higher, in which case you would be evenly matched. You could argue that nothing stops high-levels from just hanging out around low-level PvP zones, but usually people call for high-levels to take care of the, uh, high-levels. The problem with runescape is that you get the same amount of XP from killing the same level of monster over and over, so that is just another excuse for high-levels to pick on small fry.
The reason that motivated me to write this post is because there are these kids in our class that have discovered they both play runescape and always talk about it in hearshot of me. This is bullying, people, for hearing things about runescape burns my ears, seeing it burns my eyes and playing it burns my hands. This very post has been a struggle, too, but that still doesn’t stop the fact that we need to stop runescape. DEATH TO THE HERETICS!
I withdraw any comments on the most manly thing to do is wrestle bears. Nonono, now the most many thing is to, how god I think that hurts, THIS, beating “Through the Fire and Flames” on expert. Bonus points if you get 4 stars. You are jesus in disguise if you get 5 stars. So I have created a new manly sport…
“Through the Fire and Flames”
You will need:
A Xbox 360
A copy of Guitar Hero 3 with all accesories with “Through the Fire and Flames” unlocked.
A hexegon-shaped arena
Anything you want for an after-party
Show that you’re the most man of everyone by showing how big your–ah, I mean, how well you can play! Through the Fire and Flames! Uh, on expert! There are two styles of play, the first is called ducks lined up, were each person takes turns wrestling with the guitar. There is no such thing as a winner in this game, although the game would technically count as a winner if it teared you limb from limb. The second version is called mosh pit. In this, everybody plays their own Xbox 360 at the same time! In either mode, you get to leave the arena if you are;
dead
seriously injured or
the player is on the ground
My husband died showing that he can wrestle ”Through the Fire and the Flames” down with his own two hands… *sob* WHYYYYYYY?!!!
Recently I have been playing a lot of a game called WURM online. This is a MMOFS (Massively Multiplayer Online Fantasy Simulation) and I am going to sue because they don’t say how damn addictive their game is. If I get out of the shit I involved myself in recently, which is coincidentally the same day hell freezes over, I will most certainly welcome you to the world of WURM. : )
See, the fact that this is a Fantasy Simulation means that you could (and this is a true story) work for 2 months and then finally feel like you can take a breath. You have a food and water gauge, and while you can drink clean water from most lakes and caves, food is much more difficult. The game mechanics make players cluster together to stay alive. Most of the game world has been changed in some way, shape or form considering that man-made structures can only be made by players, and there are only 2 NPCs that appear without anybody having to hire them, which is the guide, who is the tutorial, and who I assume is a bartender, who give you free food for the first 24 hours of gameplay, which sadly isn’t as usefull as it sounds unless you want to live in Newtown, which I’m guessing costs over $9,000 since it’s so damn overpopulated. When I say overpopulated, I’m sure to raise a few eyebrows when people start and see the relatively (relative to WOW or other MMORPGs) puny town that they start in. I must remind you that this is all player made, so people cut down many-a-tree to make this city.
So you’re probobly going to think; “Damn, nobody plays this game”. First, if you walk from the one side of the island to the other, at the closest ends, it can take over 3 hours. It is a huge game world, even bigger than WOW. Also, not may people do play the game, true, but more than you would probobly expect.
I might make a part 2, but I’m fed up with writing this post for now.

Recently I have been playing a JRPG called Lunar Knights. The basic story that you get fairly early in the game, is that you play as a boy in black (he’s not goth or emo, play the game and realise he’s badass) whose name is Lucian. That’s the default name, at least, I named him Starsky. A little later on, you meet a guild apprentice whose default name is Aaron. I named him Hutch. Their battles become intertwined, but that’s the basics of the main characters. (continued »)
Because I absolutely adore exploration games, I have been gone on a Exploration freeware safari. I have a few tips to give people to rate a good exploration game and a bad one. (continued »)

So that should be enough youtube watching to last you the week, this is a amazing game called little big planet. It’s were you control creatures called sack boys, named from there look and texture, that are very small. It’s mainly good physics-based fun, but the main piece of candy that makes this so special is that you can create your own levels fluently.
Now, I do have a lot of creative outlets, and I’ve taken pride in level editing. A lot of the problems I come across with that is the difficulty.
Yes yes, the interesting bit is that all the editors I’ve played were designed for simplicity. But it’s the controls, and how tedious it is, that counts. With little big planet, it really takes moments to get results.
Anyway, that should all sum up the creation aspects etc.
Little big planet is awesome.
And that sums up why I’m saving up for a PS3.
