Playing GTA Multiplayer
Taking a break from designs and such. Taking a time out to play some multi-player grand theft auto.
For ever the guys at MTAVC.com have been my hook up. But now I see that the guys at Sa-mp are ahead in their game.
So now I am sitting around playing Grand Theft Auto San Andreas with my son. It seems nice to go back to ol` san andreas and sanfiero and play some , well I have no idea what to call this. First person shooter action racing?
Anarchy?
200 people and it’s every man for himself?

Online Flash Video Games
I created a page to fill up with games . The idea was so I could have something else going to keep my brain from from slouching while I am at work waiting on the server to get fixed,or blue print to print or just stuff to do on days when I bring my lunch.

Well one of the ladies at my job walked up while the game was open (but I wasn’t playing at that exact time). She asked me what it was and I explained that it was one of like 5 games I uploaded to a hidden section on my own website. After like 3 days, another one of the ladies from my job walks up and says “hey is that all the games you have on your site?”.. I didn’t know how to answer. I mean if I said “nah I plan to upload a buttload and waste my time on the clock playing stupid games all day. So I paused for a second and said ” well I was thinking of putting up new stuff every now and again, but not a whole bunch of stuff” she said to me ” can you get like a bingo or a tic-tac-toe game?” I busted out laughing. I mean it, really. Doctor Pepper shot out of my nose. Well I started uploading a game here and there and different people came up telling me what was lame and what they want. I was like “dude get your own frickin’ server” but then I realized that I now have a hobby when I am home… making this stuff work.
After a bunch of complaints I removed a lot of the games and just kept the ones everyone liked.
Well if you have a request or know of a site that I can get more games from, help me out — the natives are getting restless. lol
Kevin And Alex Set Women Right
I am sure we have all come into this situation, well I know I have at least five times in the past ten years.
The current girlfriend walks in while you are booting up the game that you have been wanting to play all week. This is your first day off in a week and you have been wanting to play this game, you have set today aside for this game. The girlfriend when she walks in says “come on let’s go I have to buy some lotion for my mom and my sister and I have to go pay my cell phone bill and I was hoping we could go have lunch at Outback”. You tell her in your whiny boyfriend voice ” but I wanna play a game”. You see the vein shoot up in her forehead because some clown she used to date blah blah blah or her brother blah blah blah. Now mind you I have broken up with at least four girls because of this situation and am about to do it again.
She tells you that what you are doing is unproductive and what she wants to do is actually productive. You have no response that would keep your relationship good, but many that would piss her off pretty bad. So you say nothing and hit the pause button while your brain scrambles to make her see what you want her to see. Does not matter she will not understand. You are truly with the wrong person.
Here, watch this.

Gaming Company Mergers
We have heard about EA bidding for Rockstar Games and Microsoft bidding as well.
What I have heard today is that Sierra is being bought out by Blizzard games. Sierra is the maker of most Blizzard expansions anyhow, and will just take on the Blizzard name. Sierra also made expansions to many first person shooters. Let’s see what happens in the future.
In the back of my mind I see it being cool to mix two companies but somehow the stupid section is making the most sense. “Hey, I will be limited in choices” if all gaming companies merged into one.
Crysis SP Demo Review – Video Game
To kick this off , let me explain, I am not paid to like or dislike the game, So I have a human’s opinion, I like some stuff I dislike others. If they where paying me it would all be 100% like. If I was paid to dislike , it would be 100% dislike.
I am not a fanboy who has been chewing on his blanket since he first saw the previews drooling on his keyboard waiting the demo. I just heard of the game less than two days before I got the demo. I gave the game an honest try and an honest feel . for those of you who know what color the main guy’s shoe laces are and why they are that color because you read the entire pamplet and news article and website front to back and upside down awaiting a clue to some imaginary riddle, Good for you, The sales pitches worked fine for you. Anything more than a sentence or two in response to this, really is overboard and you may want to ditch the yoda mouse and lunchbox.
Well I gave the game a play, or two. The demo is found here
The machine I am using is:
Direct x 9 c
AMD 2800+ Sempron 87*F
NVIDIA BFG 7600 512MB agp 110*F
2 Gigs 3200 RAM
Loading the demo the first time is a little bit drawn long, images are excellent and look very fun,Game ran fine at full settings on windows xp pro, just the dark setting and colors with some weird blue trim in the parachute scene. While looking in on the “suit tools” or options or what ever you see a circular list of stuff, you have no idea what any of it is, because it is unlabeled and it does nothing to assure you that you are on the right thing except for the cloaking,inviz.PNG or what ever that ten second thing is. there seems to be a strength,armor and cloaking that happens with the suit.
The fights where pretty great but it seemed very “grand theft auto” ish, it seemed like the bad guy just kept spawning up everywhere, and if you wanted one to just go away, turn your back and he will disappear when you turn your back. The narrator or guide or as the game called him something like prophet or what ever, he was a bit of a nag, so speakers went down just long enough for me to get killed by a guy that was not there a second ago. bad guys always know where you are , unless you are cloaked, then they just flip out and run in circles. The instant you re-spawn they know exactly where you are and are shooting at you within in a blink of time.
The water. Not so good. It just did not have that water look that you would expect from this new of a game. I mean there where bubbles and some sounds that let you know you are in water, but it just does not look like water other than your guy is now waving his hands in front of himself as if he is swimming, unsure if that run button helped any, could not tell. bullets hit you when you are under, and you can not pop up secretly , at all if you are being chased .Yes you can run out of breath. and yes he can outlast most of you, but does not live for ever underwater. sorry I did not see a timer nor a meter that let’s you know how much air is left, you just got wait till you hear him grunt or panic or make a painful sound. beach.PNG
You can pick up guns for spare bullets, and to carry or swap more guns . You can pick up numerous objects and chunk them , at people or just for the hell of it. I never found a med pack. No idea. You can enter vehicles , but it seems I haven’t figured how to man the guns on them, and or how to drive the vehicles. Maybe you can , maybe you can’t. I am not so certain that you can. I have no idea why all the bad guys looked the same, why they glow red or many things, not much to tell me why or how, I just assume it’s the pants the main guy is wearing.gunfire.PNG
Overall I give the game demo a rating of 6.5 . I will not be buying this one for myself . I might get it for my son, he will not take interest in it for more than a day, but just in case one of his friends have the game, it might be fun to lan party it. I can’t see it being very fun online. delta force 2 meets doom meets half life2.
