    Gaming Cross-Overs You'd Like To See.

    Well, I've got a habit of writing stories for myself since I've always got ideas running through my head, especially concerning games, and how I would've written them. And a lot of times crossovers tend to be the perfect fit for the needed changes and/or fixes. First up: Mass Effect meets...

    Writer Tom Clancy has died at 66

    Always thought his books were terrible, still...sucks to hear he's gone at such an early age.

    Elitism and subscription fees.

    That's the short and long of it. I witnessed first hand how bad a company can abuse a F2P system in order to leech $1000 or more a month out of their player base (those willing to pay that at least) just for godly gear. That game was Perfect World and it's a fucking mess anymore.

    A query for X360 owners.

    I've actually had both the right stick and the left stick go out on the two 360 controllers that came with my original Xbox. Mind you, it took years and some pretty heavy gaming for those issues to develop between the two before I replaced them with my current controller, but it did happen.

    the one thing that really bugs me about GTA 5 (definite spoilers of about half way through)

    Erh...not really. They're more or less the same as you've encountered up to wherever you are in the story. But, probably gearing closer to the standard GTA formula that R* cling to like lint on jeans.

    the one thing that really bugs me about GTA 5 (definite spoilers of about half way through)

    Unfortunately, the only heist that nets you a huge payout is near the end. Even then, well...let's just say you've got to trade stocks like a baus to afford the golf course.

    How are you liking GTA V?

    Actually, you can retrieve lost cars by heading to the impound and paying to release them.

    Saint's Row 4 First Impressions

    The reviews I've read say exactly that. You get powers early, then have them taken away mid way through the game. You do get a mech suit to supposedly counter it. But I can't see it making up for the ability to be Superman first, then a Gundamn wing character last. <.<

    So Diablo 3 comes out on PS3 in two weeks.

    Y'know, it's coming out for the 360 as well. Anywho, I skipped the PC version because of obvious reasons, but I'm certainly going to pick up the console version.

    Debunking The Saints Row IV Whining

    This. Well, except the fact that I never played Prototype, so I can't be objective about it. However, SR4 looks like Crackdown on steroids. I will gladly pay full price for my copy since I am not disappoint with what I've seen. Hell, the moment I found out I could romance Kinzie Kensington I've...

    So, Microsoft...

    ...has locked access to pretty much all their services that I use (email and XBL) because, reasons. I got hit with the "looks like someone's using your account" message when trying to access my email today, only to find out that the recovery option is basically an endless loop since the...

    what do you want to see in GTA V?

    An actual garage to store my cars. I do not ever again want to step out of my safe house, and watch a 25 ton (tonne for you other people) garbage truck cream my pristine sports car trying to make a u-turn at a stop light, because traffic is backed up. Never again Rockstar! You hear me!? >:I

    who's your favorite character in gaming

    Solid Snake. To me, he's the epitome of a Hero.

    do you still play skyrim?

    This is me. However, I kinda got tired of playing Skyrim since I own the 360 version and for some reason, I now dislike the "look" of armor and weapons, and shit. Probably has something to do with seeing all the neat shit modders have come up with for the PC version, and now the vanilla game is...

    Rant and Rave: Loading screens

    Yeah, Mass Effect 1 used in game resources to mask some loading screens. The elevator rides on the Citadel and the Normandy are primary examples. And yet, people complained about it. So much so, in fact, that BioWare basically just put as many "regular" loading screens every-fucking-where in the...
