I figured that we can take today to reflect on one of the greats from games past, and in my opinion - the greatest game of all time.

It's simplicity gives the game mass appeal, even if you don't have opposable thumbs you still can go for the high score!

More simplistic in design and objective than Super Mario, this puzzle game takes a lot more concentration, and unlike the popular side scroller, there is no end boss.

What game could deserve the title of BEST... GAME... EVER?  What am I blabbering on about in broken paragraphs not worthy of all the extra spacing!!  Oh if the internet were paper I'd be killing so many trees right now... but to get back to my point;

I'm talking about TETRIS.

If you've never played, or don't like Tetris, please shoot yourself in the face.  Nothing of value will be lost.  I can (and have on multiple occasions) play this game for hours. The rush of trying for a high score, whether your goal is beating your friends' or your own personal best, there's not much that compares to this classic game.

The game's popularity is recognized by game devs world over, and on all platforms.  If you have a TI-83, cell phone made after 2000, handheld system, or even just your P.C, you likely can have Tetris (or some variant of it at least) on your device, for free, in a matter of seconds.

As an owner of a touch screen smartphone, (Moto Droid running FroYo here,) I've been sorely disappointed with almost every (free) version of the game I could find on the Market.  I mean before they were all cleared out not long ago (copyright infringement lawls) even the best looking tetris game or clone fell short of holding the standard of fun and captivation factor that Tetris DS gives. A real BUTTON, not a virtual one  is really necessary to enjoy Tetris as intended. 

So everyone please pay your respects to one of the greatest video games of all times!  Though our current gen systems and games offer nearly real looking graphics, great physics and actions created via motion tracking suits, none of them can offer the simple pleasure of erasing a four block stack from existence.

Viva Tetris!

The long awaitied sequel!


Okay, which one did you think of?  The very much needed follow up to Half Life 2: Episode 2?  The (until now) eternally pending Duke Nukem? Or the not so long in the making Pokemon: Black/White?

What game are you most looking forward to?  Will you buy/pirate, rent or maybe just get it used after the hype has died down?

Let me hear your thoughts, please!  Also, HAIL TO THE KING, BABY.  Something always told me Gabe would end up sucking those 100 horse dicks sooner or later...

Holy shit, two posts in one day!

After playing a couple of rounds of MW2 today it hit me.  Not some profound, koan-esque personal truth, not the secret of life or any of that shit.

QuickScoper bullets.  They tend to hit everyone.  A lot.

What happened was this. I was playing in a standard Free for All, and was listening into a couple of underage douchebags. Unfortunately, this is the most common type you'll run into on XBL. I really hope it's not the same for other platforms.

Either way, the two are pretty much frothing with rage over some guy that's at 2:1 (kicking their ass) and using the terrain against them. The reason?  He was "noob-tubing."

Now while I believe that Danger Close + Noob Tubing is a shitty way to play, and borderline "hax" I put up with it and carry on with playing, finding another class of mine that's specifically suited for that kind of threat.  If I don't have a class that'll work against them, I make one during the next intermission.

But fuck that noise. I can't fucking STAND quickscoping.

Now I really don't care what your outlook on it is, though you're more than welcome to post it, but my opinion (read - FACT) is that quickscoping is bullshit. Anyone that does it for any other reason than as a means of retaliation against boosters or other quickscopers is only further perpetuating this fucking fallacy that it's a legitimate tactic.  FYI, I was using the term "tactic" very loosely.

For anyone that might consider posting "umad" you're fucking right. I'm tired of people claiming OH TAC KNIFE + COMMANDO? OH YOURE COOL or replace any gun/attachment combo with complimenting perk and you have every possible combo that these shit-herders could possibly try to use as reasoning for their bullshit "tactic."

Also, person owning them was me lawl.

And now, we'll separate the men from the boys:

POKEMON

Yeah, I said it.  I'm 24 as of last month and I still play once in a while.  I've played through Red, Blue, Diamond, Platinum and of course, Soul Silver.

Had Gold/Silver but lost both carts and my GBC (some asshole stole it from my locker.)

Anyone else a Pokébro or Pokého?  SPEAK UP!

Pic related, the most bro poké of all time

Slow/b/ro

Prestige Mode?

Almost back to level 70 on my 2nd prestige (69 dude!) and honestly not sure if I want to bother with it again. Anyone have any insight on this? Aside from the one callsign/title per prestige I'm not aware of any other actual "perks." Thoughts?

FROSTED BUTTS LOL

If you know what I'm talking about then follow me, and show some SUPPORT!

Thanks all, leave a message and I'll be glad to check your blog out as well!

Hoping that I'll have some new readers soon.

How about a quick/informal survey?

L4D2 Versus Mode, what is your favorite infected?
Gonna have to say Smoker all day for me!  In L4D2 I enjoy attacking from a distance, which is weird considering that I don't really enjoy sniping in MW2, etc.

I'd like to not suck ass with the Jockey, but only once in a while will I actually get a decent spawn/life :(
Not sure if this will trigger any hotlink block,etc.

What are your thoughts?

BTW, updating blog with (hopefully) major overhaul.

I've moved on up in the past couple of years; out of the parents' house and living with my girlfriend and our roommate here in Virginia Beach. Roommate is about to bail on us in a couple of months though, wants to move in with his sister so we're looking for someone to take his room!

Been away for a while, going to shift focus of this blog from just in(s)ane ramblings to something of use.

Going to use this as a video game rating/discussion blog. Hopefully this will attract readers!
