No News Today

By Coxxorz - Posted on 21 May 2008

Nothing interesting is happening in the world of video gaming today. Not even anything Blackwalt would report on, if he were here. If it's news you're looking for, try another website. I hear there are a few out there now.

Altair's progress so far

By Blackwalt - Posted on 20 May 2008

As some of you know, I arranged to have Assassin's Creed for my day off

Altair's adventures went like this...

Finished the tutorial and entered the main game. Woo hoo, 20g of achievements. What's next?

    Altair! Clean the bathrooms!

Wow, that was pretty immersive, sounded like it was coming from upstairs. Wonder if there is an achievement for this?

    Altair!

...Altair stealthily climbs the stairs to wipe out some bathroom fungus.

68 pounds of force to a tiny area

Needs WAY more replays...

Ninja Gaiden II any good?

By Coxxorz - Posted on 20 May 2008

I know at least one person here is going to apeshit over this, but I'm wondering who else here has any experience with this game franchise, and how it compares to stuff I might have played in the past (Virtua Fighter, Dead or Alive, etc.).

Amazon.ca has it for preorder at $53.99, but don't forget that you can save an extra $10 by creating a new account and using the code "MAPNEWNCSAVE" when you checkout. May also require a VISA card, but I'm not sure about that.

Very Surreal...

Man I had the urge to commit suicide after reading this

Now, before anyway of you go crazy and call the cops I am kidding!

About to start Assassin's Creed

By Blackwalt - Posted on 20 May 2008

No idea what to expect

Will let you know how it turns out.

Psssst! Rolly!

By Blackwalt - Posted on 19 May 2008

Father's Day is coming up.

No reason.

Of course, when Guba picked out her Mother's Day gift it cost ten times this so maybe I should be holding out for something else.

Frontlines

Ok, so my copy of Frontlines: Fuel of War arrived Friday night. I was in the middle of some actual work so I didn't get to break it open until Saturday afternoon. So, how does it compare to the last couple of disasters I have purchased? Read more

Xbox Live - Offline 38.4 years

By Blackwalt - Posted on 18 May 2008

Still a few bugs in the system

When you first looked at this picture I know you assumed the problem was MoriceRevek playing Star Wars Lego. But in truth I am okay with that as Star Wars Lego is a pretty good game.

Second glance will show you that Jehreg (Q-Bert) has been offline for 14,018 days. Now I admit that he isn't online that often and that Q-Bert is old enough to qualify for 38.4 years offline but I am fairly certain that this predates the creation of the Xbox Live service. Although I hear they were Beta testing long before they went live and Q-Bert does specialize in IP networking.

I'll let you decide.

Snuffy D claims it was "strangely unsatisfying."

It's all Coxxorz's fault - Bargain Corner shopping take 2

By Blackwalt - Posted on 17 May 2008

Honest! He made me buy them!

You would think that after my previous experience earlier this same week that I would be hesitant to even get in a car with Coxxorz. But he tricked me. Honest! It started as a Tim Hortons run.

And then we ended up at Future Shop (twice) and Best Buy (only once). I won't mention the three other stops. Oh, and Tim Hortons as that wasn't a complete lie.

It started better than I thought. No I lie, that was just for continuity...
