Thoughts: Batman: Arkham Asylum Demo (360)

This quote sums up a feeling I had perfectly:

…that was the constant feeling I was getting in the demo; I think I should be able to do X, yay I can do X.

The combat system felt really nice, it was intuitive and felt like it knew what I wanted to do next. [...]

TED Talk: Elizabeth Gilbert on nurturing creativity

Saw this posted over at PvPOnline.com. A wonderful and inspiring TED talk by Elizabeth Gilbert, author of “Eat, Pray, Love”, on nurturing creativity. Emphasis on keeping a positive outlook rather then languishing in self hatred when the creative magic isn’t consistent. If creativity is part of your job description, like it is for me, [...]

Thoughts: Fairy Tales: 3 Heros Demo

Just snagged the demo off Fileplanet and wanted to post some quick thoughts.

Fairy Tales: 3 Heroes was developed by CatsWhoPlay and puts you in control of three Slavic fairy tale heroes.  Sadly though the demo only puts you in control of one, Ilya, a rather large meat shield of a man with a [...]

CoD: Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition!

The right way to peal a banana!

Movie Review: Ice Age 3

It came down to Ice Age 3 or Transformers 2 and after a quick thought we went with Ice Age 3. Not a regrettable choice I must say!

I don’t recall having watched Ice Age 2 so I wasn’t fully up to speed on the character development in this latest installment. However after a [...]

New Mechwarrior!

Aw man, this takes me back. It seems a new Mechwarrior game is being development by Piranha Games, not sure if the video below is actual gameplay (hope so), but it was pretty f’ing sweet regardless and it’s got me excited. I mean, Mechs + destructible environments? Do want!

More MechWarrior Project [rumored] [...]

Kseniya Simonova – Sand Animation (Ukraine’s Got Talent)

I of course can’t understand the words in the background music, but that seems inconsequential given the story being told in the sand along with the melodies of the music and words allows you to understand enough to know what’s going on.

Again, no embed option so the image will take you to the [...]
