This Chrstmas I WIsh...

I wish I had more time. Really, time passes very quickly and sometimes you don't have enough time to react to the changes. Besides that, I really wish I had Guitar Hero. It seems like a cool game. And being myself a guitar player I find it very interesting.

I hope Santa is reading my blog. :P

It's Been a Long Time

Wow, what an absence from my page!!!! It seems I haven't posted in years, and that may be true. That doesn't mean I have not played any games, in fact I have played them a lot since I bought my 360 . But along with working a lot on my own business I have not much time left.

Still, I refuse to abandon my blog! :D

It's surprising how the game industry has progressed over the years until becoming mainstream. I read everyday Joystiq.com just to get the latest news from the game community. I sometimes wish I was in a country like USA, where I get full access to all the services available. For example I have no place to buy an Xbox Live Membership!!! I had my free month of Gold memebership and I want more!!! Just to play PGR3 hehe.

Anyway, this is just my comeback post. So I will not bore any reader I might have with my crazy musings. If you arrive by chance here. Check my previous posts!!! heee.

Lost Planet, Xbox 360 exclusive

Well, I've been playing for a while Dead Rising and Saints Row, both great games by the way. But another game I'm looking forward to get my hands on is Lost Planet.

Lost Planet is a Capcom game. And I love Capcom ever since they created Megaman. Had an Xbox prevously so I really had no chance to play Devil May Cry, because it was a PS3 exculsive title aimed more to the Asian market. Now I don't know where did they get that bullshit from, but now they are making up for it and releasing some cool titles.

Lost Planet by the way will be a 360 exclusive title, so I'm pretty glad I bought one. In the words of Jun Takeuchi, or JT for the friends:

Lost Planet is an exclusive Xbox 360 title. Typically when the development team sets out to create a game, we focus development of the title on a single platform and for Lost Planet that platform is the Xbox 360. We have no plans at this time of porting to or developing for another console as this would potentially dilute the final product.

Yeah, Yeah Got My Xbox 360

UPDATE to my boring gaming life!!!! Just what you were expecting so much!!!

Well, got my Xbox, now I would really like to play it. Believe it or not I spent $600 on that machine - premuim edition. Now I'm almost broke, waiting fr my next check. (9 more days!!! I can do it!!)

For those who don't know me. I'm form Peru, so everything must go to taxes, services, etc, etc, so I expect to find the PS3 at $1000 no kidding. It is fucking awful, but I just have to embrace the facts. So far I've downloaded Pac Man to my 360. Yeah, $600 just to play Pac Man. I still have to re-accomodate al my gaming ecosystem, buy a long ethernet cable, a transformer. (Electricty ones, no Optimus Prime ones), and there you have it, I will be able 2 sdownload demos or give $60 to one happy store clerk of aprox the 3 stores that sells 360 games. Anyway, this makes me a pioneer of next-gen gaming in my country. Sí se puede!! - I don't understand why they can't even put a demo on my hard disk, and still I have a useless Titanic feature.

FF III arrives to America...November 14

The long awaited remake of Final Fantasy III arrives to America for the DS. Crazy cosplay fans will be making lines outside the closest gaming store to get ahold fo this new precious item in their collections. Yousee, It works like this with money making machines. That's why we still have Tony Hawk games popping out, or Medal of Honor and clones.

I've played a lot of WWII games, and still in my memory I keep the long nights of Medal Of Honor I gaming.

Did you know that Final Fantasy has a Juice, Cola or whatever that looks exactly the same as the in-game potions?. Fo' real!!!! I have proof here it is, so don't start calling me crazy, though maybe I am.

What's wrong with Sony? (or with me?)

I have a problem with the PS3. It just doesn't feel right.

This week I am facing an inner dilemma, I have the money to buy me an Xbox 360 along with an anxiety for playing next-gen games now, today (being specific, Dead Rising). Damn, I wish this was a big blog, where I could get hands on preview of all that cool stuff, but it isn't so I have to save for my toys. ;)

This got me thinking. Is Sony taking too much time? When the news first came out that the big next-gen game console wars had started i was excited. All my bets to the PS3, because I have an Xbox and missed a lot of PS2 games. But now Sony, is taking too long. I feel I'm not the only one. They've announced it's gonna be expensive, and this is worst to me, since I'm out of the USA.

How much will the games cost? Making a game is getting more expensive every year, or every console, since we are talking about them. It´s like making a movie, the fancier the graphics, physics and all the cool stuff, it is gonna cost more.

So I don't know... I'm getting tired of waiitng for the PS3, and not getting any great news from Sony. The last news I heard was 2 game development companies not making anything for the PS3. and here I'm am writing this. What do you think about this?

Mario Bros Magnets For Ya Fridge!

If you're a serious gamer, you should pay respect to Mario Bros. That's true, you should have at least one thing related to it. A magazine, a TV episode recorded on VCR. Anything you know? It's all about loooove.

Well if you don't have anything, and have some extra dough to spend, take a look at these Nintendo Mario Bros Magnets. Ideal for your fridge but not too much for your computer screen.
I'm waiting for my shipment on this, I just couldn't resist the temptation, the rest of my moeny was well invested on women and alcohol. Peace!

Top 20 Gay characters

Gaygamer.net has published a list of 20 gay characters. Although the list is very well crafted, I think they're missing a couple that always made me feel like there was something wrong with them:

The Classic Contra Guys

But..maybe that's just me though, maybe with images from Contra 3 characters I can prove my point :P

Megaman Maverick Hunters X

What should I buy?

That was my question when I was deciding between the PSP and the Nintendo DS.
I had to take in consideration many of the features that may seem useful for me. Tactile screen??? MP3??? Which one is brighter??? You know, the usual stuff that marketers make you lust for. At the end I made my decision considering the games. I'm a big fan of both Castlevania and Megaman, so this was pretty tough. It was at this point that images of Megaman from my childhood came to my mind starting with that gorious day I finished Megaman 2. :D

So I bought the PSP and Megaman Maverick Hunters X.

Yes, I can't resist a Megaman Game, I have to really control myself to stop buying a PS2 just for them. Luckily I found a copy of a Megaman X8 floating ont he web :P.

I really recommend this game, I'm playing in Hard mode, and I noticed I'm a little bit rusty. Plus there are some changes like... VILE ACTUALLY KILLING YOU AT THE FIRST STAGE... :P So if you have a PSP and you love classic games you won't be dissapointed.

Space Invaders Human Theater Style

Space Invaders is a classic, and right now classic is cool. Relive your youth this time thanks to a bunch of playahs, re-enacting scenes from Space Invaders just using their human bodies on a theater as a composition. I'm not sure if I can understand what I just wrote, but who cares? ;)

Link: SPACE INVADERS

By the way, speaking of classics, I just bought a PSP with Megaman Maverick Hunter X, and that is totally awesome!!! Yeah, that's right. This time I found the hard mode a little bit thougher though, if you have a PSP, be sure to buy this cool game. But, then maybe it's just because I'm a huge Megaman series fan.

Big Gay Undertaker

Video games are cooler than you think, not only they can bring new worlds for you to enjoy and live, but it also can bring some pretty disturbing images to your eyes. If you don't believe check out this Undertaker doing a "funny" dance. This video made me laugh my ass off!!! :P

A Guide To Playing Pac Man

Oldies are cool! And Pac Man might as well be the ultimate oldie, a game that was practically everywhere and stays as as a culture reference of our times. In its time there wasn't any game guides as we see now. Things were simple, right to the point. But you know as you play and play more and more time you start seeing things that weren't before, patterns that stay unexistent for most people. You start seeing the light. YOU BECOME PAC MANNN!!!

And then you write a guide, The Pac Man Guide - Mameworld

What's with these Top 10 lists?

At first it was interesting and fun. You know, checking out the Top 10 lists of videogames, but now... a new list pops up every 10 or so minutes. This is becoming so boring...

All the lists are just about the same things. I guess I will build a list of top 10 gay characters in videogames, with the Contra pair on top of course :P. Or maybe Top 10 pussy shots in MAME games, now that would be interesting.

I don't recall the address right now but there is a page all about top lists of videogame related topics. Anyway if you still dig for lists here's another one from one of my must-visit sites Gamefaqs.

Crosoverrrrrr- Bison in Mario's World

Wassup y'all,

I'm getting addicted to Youtube, that means, spending time wasting time I should be spending on posts :P

But..sometimes it pays off, in special when you find cool videos like this one. Imagine playing as Bison the 1-1 level of Super Mario Bros 1. Now, do you think good old M. Bison would eat dome mushrooms and flowers? Hell no, he would use his PSYCHO CRUSHER to make his way to the flag!

Ch-che-chek it out.

CONTRA!!! HELL YEAH!!!!

Check out this amazing video of a dude playing the song from Contra using a guitar.... Wow, I felt little butterflies in my stomach.

I remembered those good old times when I used to play Contra with my cousin, with those modded Max Play cartridges brought from Japan.

Well, sometimes the whole evening was just us blowing at the cartridge to make it work. But I still feel the butterflies..maybe I shouldn't have eaten them.

Quake Papercrafts

What more can be said? If you don't have money to buy some cool toys for your room / office, I think this would be a nice alternative.

Backups can now be booted on the Xbox 360

Yeah, the hacking scene never rests... They are the goldmines for pirate game sellers.

Backups can now be booted on the Xbox 360 according to Xbox-scene. The firmware was released by Commodore4Eva who previously released a functional Xbox 1 firmware. It works under the same idea as the final Xbox hack: it patches the response to the media check into the DVD drive’s firmware.

Lousy Videogame Ads

I've seen this shit too many times. Still I enjoy it. I could actually make a post like these using my Gamepro magazines form the 90s. But hell, I'm too lazy to search and scan de images, so I will just leave you with this link:

The Best Words Ads form 1UP.com

Those were some really shitty ads...
