Modern Warfare 3 – Multiplayer Debut Trailer

Posted by Jamie Concepcion On September - 5 - 2011

Watching trailers like this one I have to constantly remind myself that I’m not great at multiplayer games like this and that I shouldn’t buy it like I did the last two. I will definitely rent it, because I’m interested in the campaign.

A lot of people are only into Modern Warfare for the multiplayer, and for those people this video should excite them.

 

Street Fighter X Tekken – GamesCom 2011

Posted by Jamie Concepcion On August - 25 - 2011

I’ve expressed my excitement for this game in the past. While I’m still excited for it I’m a little more weary of it now. It looks like the combo chains are ridiculous and one of the bear’s special moves is farting in your face. Yeah, let that one sink in.

Check out the clips below.

The Never Not a Nerd Show – Episode 13

Posted by Jamie Concepcion On August - 24 - 2011

Episode 13! That means we’re a quarter of a year into doing the show. And as you know, a quarter of a year is halfway to half a year, which is halfway to a year. A lot of halves of halves.
Of course the microphone was an a-hole and the audio was bad for this episode, so we had to make do with the camera audio.
Enjoy the episode!

I’m working on the segments from the episode we recorded this week and you can check those out on our vimeo page when they’re done.

Guild Wars 2 – Dragon Fight!

Posted by Jamie Concepcion On August - 22 - 2011

My girlfriend loves Guild Wars, so I’ve learned a little bit about it through her. I really think they’re missing out on calling this sequel Guild Alliance. Because aren’t all the races teaming up to fight a greater evil?

Anyway, below you’ll find a video of an in-game boss fight against a dragon that terrorizes a race of frogs.

Posted by Jamie Concepcion On August - 16 - 2011

This game, while weird, actually looks pretty cool. The trailer in mention highlights the customization abilities that players will have access to. Check the trailer out below.

Plants ARE Zombies

Posted by Jamie Concepcion On August - 15 - 2011

I saw this video a while ago, and it’s so true. Plants are organic matter, so if they were conscious wouldn’t they become zombies too? Well, if it was viral it could only be within the same species. Yes, I am over-thinking this. Check out the video below.

It’s been a while since I’ve shown the Minimates series some love, so here it is. The above photo is for the Future Foundation Minimates that were available at San Diego Comic Con. Those can be found on ebay now for around $30.

24 Hours is So Long

Posted by Jamie Concepcion On August - 13 - 2011

Sony offers cloud storage as part of a Playstation Plus membership, which is great. I was really excited when they rolled that out because I live in a multi-PS3 household and some games think that the ability to copy game saves to USB would explode your head or something, so they forbid it. Look, I get it, you don’t want a nearly-the-end game save showing up online, but you can lock it to the original user profile.

Anyway, that might suck, but cloud saves were surely the answer right? Wrong! Once you upload a game save you have to wait 24 hours until you can copy it to another PlayStation, even though that cloud save is locked to your Plus account. Surely it was a temporary setback, especially considering Sony used cloud game saves as a talking point this past E3.

The 3.70 update came out this week, and along with it brought automatic cloud save uploads. Well, if it’s saving automatically to the cloud they must have done away with the dumb 24 hour waiting period, BUT THEY DIDN’T. You still have to wait 24 hours, and until that is changed they’re going to be tooting their own horn over a feature that is severely limited in its usage.

Who wants to wait 24 hours to continue playing a game on a different console? Bringing your PS3 with you seems like less of a hassle.

Darksiders 2 – Trailer

Posted by Jamie Concepcion On August - 12 - 2011

I never got around to playing the first Darksiders, but I heard a lot of good things. You play as War, one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, and it’s basically a mature Zelda game. In Darksiders 2 you play as Death (Casey Jones), another one of the four horsemen. So, I guess there will be two more games after this one.

Check out the trailer below.
