STUPID PUBERTY!

So I started to watch FMA: Brotherhood today. First thing out of my mouth was "AL YOUR VOICE!"

Aaron Dismuke, that cutie patutie who voiced Al through the entire first series and movie? Puberty. No more Al.

Know who it is now?

A GIRL.

This is worse than the time I found out Ash Ketchum was ALWAYS voiced by a woman.

Sorry Al, I just can't take you seriously anymore. D:



RIP Al Voice
2003-2004
We miss you!

REAL UPDATE!

This is actually news about games! (Actually I just watched X-Play on G4, but still!)

OK, what hit me was Halo: Reach. Looks good! But is it really the last Halo? Or just he last from Bungie? Anyway, Reach is a prequal where you play as one of the guys from something before the thing. I'm sorry, I'm not that into Halo... I'd rather be playing Left 4 Dead.

There was another game, too... Crackdown 2 I think. Anyway, they gave it a 4 out of 5, but having never played it before, I'm not so sure. From the sounds of it, it's mostly a copy of the first game. Worth the money? If you liked the first one, sure, but I personally wouldn't buy it.

I can explain...

I feel kind of bad now. I almost never update here anymore. I haven't played many games lately, played FFXIII for about an hour. I was going, then I saved and noticed the time and date were wrong and after fixing it, I didn't feel like turning it back on.

Anyway, Anime Expo was what, last week? Anyway, IGN did a cosplay segment on it, and it's made me realize I've only been dabling in this world, since I don't know about half of the costumes. Still nice to look at though! Check it out here.

And whoa, has blogger changed for anyone? It feels different for me. (And yeah, I changed the blog name AGAIN. This one's probably going to stick though. Maybe.)

Happy E3!

It's that time of year again! (Which is actually a bit earlier than last year, if I remember right.) E3 has come and gone, sadly, all too soon. I'm not going to fool around searching for stuff, so here's what I remember most.

Nintendo really threw down this year. They unveiled the 3DS, proving that there are more variations to the DS system than flavors at Baskin Robins. This one might be good though, with the 3D graphics. I don't know specifics, but supposedly it's 3D without the glasses, which may or may not work out for them. But more importantly, what do they preview with the 3DS? A new Kid Icarus! It's about time angel boy got some respect again. Another downside, though, is that the game looks like it's only going to be on the 3DS, not compatible with the older DS systems. I would love to play the game, but I'm not going to buy an entirely new system for it when I've got one remarkably similar that still works fine. I was also really excited about the new Zelda game. Sure, it looks pretty good (graphics could've been better) but I noticed a little lag on the Wii, which could majorly affect the game.

Probably what I'm most excited about is the Metal Gear Solid: Rising game. If you watch the trailer, you know what I'm talkin about. That watermelon didn't stand a chance. Secondly would be Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. A continuation to ACII (which had a total WTF ending), Ezio is now, unfortunately, old. Oldish. Actually not really that old. Vic Mignogna is 47 and he's still hot. Anyway, this looks like it'll be well worth the wait due to a new multiplayer mode. Female assassins! Power to the women! Although without X-Box Live (or PSN, whichever one you're on) the multiplayer would probably be a LOT harder to appreciate.

*FREE PORTAL!*

Yeah, you read that right! Steam's now in cahoots with Mac, so to celebrate, you can download Portal for the low low price of FREE for Mac or PC! Check that out here.

I gotta tell you, though, it'll take about an hour or so to download, and I'm on DSL, so I pity tha fool with dial-up. Other things include having to install the Steam program and some drivers, which isn't much, and making an actual account with Steam, also not much. In other words, they'll make you work a bit for it, if nothing else. I gotta check my computer over, though, since I can pull up the game, get to the Valve logo screen, and it'll crash. I'm more of a software person so I have no idea if I'm missing RAM or something. You do however, need DirectX 9 for it to work, so go update if you ain't got it.

Still can't get Portal? Here's one of my favorite things on the internet: Flash Portal! Go to a website called yousaytoo.com to get it past a blocking program, such as when you're at school. There are also a lot of other cool games there, like both the Impossible Quizzes, Super Mario Bros., and Tetris! Happy gaming, y'all!

Zombies Saved My (Gaming) Life!

I recently came into a copy of Left 4 Dead 2, via my brother. I just have to say...

WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE?!

Yes, L4D made me remember why I love sitting at home for hours on end in front of the TV with my 360. Unfortunately, those hours on end are more like an hour and a half right now since I've got a cold. But some's better than none, right?

Basically if you've played Halo, you can play L4D. It's actually kind of the same, only with zombies instead of aliens. Why doesn't Halo give me the same satisfaction? Don't ask me, I'm mildly insane like that. I mean, even Final Fantasy was having it's downfalls. For some reason, there's something about some of my games that made me not want to play.

Hey, y'know what? I feel like I'm talking too much when I could be killing zombies or watching cartoon ninjas. Happy gaming!

OMGEVILTHINGIES

Whoooaaaaah man, it's been like a month.

OK, so this is a quickie filler thing. Actually there hasn't been a whole lot going on in gaming. BUT I heard about some Halo: Reach footage, so I'd go YouTube or IGN that stuff and see for myself. Still working on FFXIII, actually. I went through a bit of a gaming hiatus. What was I thinking? Either way, third disk, pretty close to the end I think. Look forward to a review sometime between now and... A while.

Actually picked up my DS a couple weeks ago! Ever notice how there are no good DS games anymore? It was all like OMG TOUCH SCREEN MUST HAVE and now it's all meh. Now it's funny because they're trying to boost sales by making a million different DS consoles. Basically there are more versions of the DS than there are flavors at Baskin Robins. Maybe not, but you smell what I'm stepping in.
