Pokemon(ed) out

Posted onAuthorTruXterLeave a comment

Well it seems in less than a week we have seen and read so much about Pokemon, we are now sick of the app.
All of the Memes of people with their find on the toilet, or in a wineglass. And all of the creepy van pictures with spray painted signs saying “Pokemon inside” blah blah blah.
We’ve all heard the 60 year old news anchor pretend to be turning off his Pokemon-go app, and we know darn well he doesn’t care about that game.
We’ve heard our local radio hosts yammering on endlessly about their kids getting out of the house finally.
We get it, the game requires you to walk to the end of your street. You did it once and have been posting memes about all of the walking you have been doing for the past six days. We get it…
We’ve seen the Pokemon pop up in weird locations that make us wonder “how’d they know the dimensions of this exact location???”. come on. You have your camera on. It asked you for permission. You can’t be that ignorant can you?
Here’s the permissions, Don’t worry it’s short and no big words.

It was a short chuckle the first time we all saw the beat up van with “Pokemon inside” then we saw the cleaner but solid white kidnapper van, then the guy “it puts the lotion on it’s skin” and the plethora of clowns. This game is creepier than what we were scared of with facebook. Did you sign in using your Facebook account? because that would be 1000Xs creepier.
That’s enough.
The game has no high moment just a constant “meh” with no climax.

It seems that Pokemon is pretty much for those who ignore simple reality, or children too young to know what their privacy is worth.
And they don’t even care that you can’t battle people. The whole concept of the cartoon the game is based on is battling with your Pokemon. The whole concewpt of the cards that were played with was to battle with your Pokemon.

Boom Beach test Android vs Iphone

Posted onAuthorTruXterLeave a comment

Supercell_SplashDecided to load the game on my iPhone so i can mess around with it when my android is charging.
Not much is different. except one menu item in settings area is missing on the iPhone and the weird bounce thing the iphones do when the game switches screens. What this means is when you leave a fight and get back to your base, just like the Android phone does, the iPhone zooms in to the town hall. What the iPhone does that Android does not do is, is this weird little bounce thing right after the zoom in. I guess to give you the feel that you are on some weird mechanical camera arm that has poor bushings so it bounces a bit from worn stabilizers. No clue. Wastes time.

Pretty much all images look the same.

Comparison of the settings.

If you notice, the android allows you to turn down the display settings.
With the shader quality turned up high, Boom Beach plays very sluggish on my Android phone.
with shader turned down, the game is much faster. Everything loads faster too. Battery life lasts a bit longer that way also.

There could be audio differences, no clue. I hate the sounds and the music so that stays off at all times.

Fan made GTA V pc video

Posted onAuthorTruXterLeave a comment

got to give props to the person who made this video, and shocking the announcer for Grand Theft Auto commercials hasn’t changed.

Just remember, you aren’t requesting Grand Theft auto v to come to pc, then rockstar games doesn’t know for sure that you want grand theft auto v on pc.

So… get to making it known on their twitter, on their facebook and in the forums.

GTA V on PC? How Soon?

Posted onAuthorTruXterLeave a comment

The question on all pc gamers minds is “Will GTAV make it to pc gaming?”.
Experienced pc gamers who have been playing Grand Theft Auto games from the beginning on pc, know for fact that GTAV will come 6-7 months after the release of the console version. as seen in this poll of what platform GTAV should come on.
GTA always does.

but if you are in need of some comfort. Here Is proof of the platforms that GTAV will be seen on. of course since that page was created, Rockstar has taken down the pc version. but there is now a blank spot which is all I have to give you with that.

but of course there are a handful of console gamers out there running their usual slag, bragging and bashing pc gamers.
Me responding to some clown on Facebook about pc gamers are butthurt and full of excuses why they’re not hissy fitting about GTAV on pc yet.

nope not buthurt. Just waiting
We know you console tards are going to brag and run spoilers for the next few months.
and then come April, you will see the graphics are better, handling is more realistic and audio is better.

You will have just sold your 360 for the new whatever.. but now will sell your “next gen” console for merely $100 so you can have a few more bucks for ram to upgrade your piece of s4!t computer.

Your computer will lag and freeze and you will cry “memory leak in GTA V” just as you have done for years.

Then you will take your Newb tard @$$ and your “most techy friend” up to frys and buy “the best of everything” and never once consider the capabilities of each component.. and again your peice of s41t will lag and freeze and you will scream “MEMORY LEAK DAMN IT!! LISTEN TO ME” …. and your cries will fade as the pc gamers will ignore you and continue enjoying the game

The way it was meant to be

you are a guinea pig and getting the beta version.

For years, Rockstar games has released GTA on console first, then worked like mad scientist cobbler elves to make a ppc version of GTA.
Last release of a Grand Theft Auto game was rough, because lots of newbs couldn’t build a GTA computer. and many more couldn’t make their current computer play the game.

Hold tight pc gamers. Grand Theft Auto Five will come to computers

Console Gaming is the Envy Sport

Posted onAuthorTruXterLeave a comment

First console out of the gates is the XBox one . They have to make it look beefy. Everyone hates the looks of it. Everyone swears they will jump on the PlayStation because the Xbox looks stupid. Xbox one is rumored to release just in time for early adapters to buy the console for thanksgiving so family and friends will be begging for it by Christmas

They will announce some hardware that we are on the cusp of releasing to the public, but since it is Microsoft (the company long accused of making operating systems built to force you to buy more hardware) they will have some massive machinery in it. That “will never be in computers”. but there will be a version of that hardware on the market one month after the console is released. Then comes a million reproductions. then comes machinery that is better, yet, the existing operating systems identify it just fine.

Day of launch comes, the stripped down basic version is the price that Microsoft said the full version is, only reason people accept it is because they wanted to do the camp out thing on launch day and they justify it because the stripped version comes with a free control and 2 gigs more storage than originally stated for the stripped version.

All of the rich console kiddies jump on the Xbox, even though the Xbox now costs $200 more than the already inflated price first announced.
Then Play station announces they will release in a month. So Xbox releases the full extended blown up package, and the first edition stripped version can not upgrade to it. So the kiddies sell their xbox 1 early version for less than half it’s original cost and round up another $700 for the Elite.

Meanwhile kids are playing GTAV on their console calling kids with computers “poor and ignorant”

Then comes the pc release of GTAV and it comes with better graphics. The console kiddies say “so I already played it, it’s stupid ” then they see the new graphics, so they sell their Xbox for not even 25% of initial cost, and they loaded up on “the best parts” that are in no sequence any good for/with each other.

They buy the game and their computer locks up (due to buying the most expensive crap that the salesperson could mesh together) so they scream “MEMORY LEAK IN THE GAME” and throw internet tantrums and scream and cry about how GTA is always Bwoken. Then they pout, show videos of them selves stomping on their “badass loaded computer”. Youtube will be full of them.and then pout away. after several months they run and buy a new xbox.

They get home and unwrap Their newest Xbox after playing six times in the bubble wrap, and reach over and grab their 9 year old little sister’s laptop to run to the internet and tell everyone how they just purchased the Elite pro excelsior version of Xbox one. The one that has spinny wheels and a mounting bracket for your douche.

When they see right there in the advertisement section of their favorite social network.

PS4 basic comes with an extra small motorized fleshlight attached and virtual reality glasses. For just $600.

Remember kids. The console that releases first, is the one with the spoiled brats who complain about everything. Yes that’s right “Early adapters” are spoiled hipster brats.

Kinect Idea first person shooter Virtual reality

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Okay.. Picture this .

You are in a six square acre room with sensors all over the place, you put on your laser-tag chest-plate, both of your virtual reality gloves with your PSvita strapped on your back between your shoulder blades, you put your helmet on with Kinect modified to snap to both sides. You grab your old nintendo duck hunt gun, and strap on a new version of your old Virtual reality glasses. and your best surround sound head phones. and fanny pack full of batteries that recharge based on leg movement. your wireless Wii-remote (for a dagger or a whip) at your hip.

A timer goes off and an entire setting rolls across your glasses. a Virtual reality battlefield. you move left, the setting in your glasses moves precisely with you. You jump up, your video appears you are jumping.

Every time you reload your gun, you are actually just changing batteries.

100s of scenarios previously installed. Multi-player mode or single player training mode. Maybe some terrain alterations such as hills and things.

And to top it off, online version also, so the champs of one Virtual First person Shooter capture the flag or king of the kill or bomb defusal can go against the champs of another location. Possibly in china,Arizona,Germany or anywhere.

This is a sport I would love to watch. This is a sport I would participate in.
It could even get perfected with help of the military for military training.
Cowboys and Indians mode???

this takes paintball, laser-tag, call of duty and every other first person shooter adventure every boy has played since he was a child and brings it to a new level.
And this is the downside

Name these games

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Just cleaned out my closet, and pulled out a box of games, and just wondering if people can identify any of these games or all of these games.
Let’s see how many of these video games you can identify and if you have ever played any of these games.

How many games in these pictures can you name?

Yes I know it’s the same games twice. One picture is blurry at bottom and the other is blurry at the top.
Makes identifying the video games nearly impossible. So I made it easier to identify each video game.
Does anyone remember playing these games?
Are any of these games hard to name ?

If you can say anything you remember from any of these games below, please do so.
