Sorry guys, we've all been rather busy.
No, not really, we're all just fucking lazy, and KS was on a trip, and Avarice was jacking off somewhere, and I've been replaying Fallout 3, for like, the fourth time, looks fucking amazing in triplehead/surround/eyefinity.
What's that?
You don't know what triplehead\surround\eyefinity is?
Well then, I guess this post will be about that.
T\S\E are basically all words for one thing, triple monitor gaming, which, as it's name helpfully implies, involves gaming with three monitors, resulting in an amazingly wide picture, and a real advantage for users of it, plus it is much more immersive, because it uses your peripheral vision, and it is a much more natural aspect ratio than just plain old 16:9 or 16:10. The only problem is, that it is a real pain to set up, and expensive too, I would take pictures of my setup, but I have no camera, and the one on my current phone sucks donkey dick. I am getting a lovely Droid 2 the second it comes out, and I will take pictures for you guys then. But I can provide videos from other people, I take no credit for em, just trying to give you guys an idea of what this is about.

"Tactical" first person shooters
Who here has ever played Ghost Recon? No no no. Not that shitty Advanced Warfighter bullshit. I'm talking the origins. Desert Siege, Island Thunder and of course the original Ghost Recon. Now, the Tom Clancy games are pretty bad ass and an amazing writer, but GRAW was.... Disappointing to say the least. I am looking forward to Future Soldier. I have been watching that thing grow. It sounds like the best parts of a sci-fi game combined with the best parts of a strategic shooter. Tom Clancy hasn't written ALL the books that have his name stamped on them though. Anyway, GRFS: A shooter with Sci-Fi elements combined with military action. Good.
Here's a tip for you though: In the original GR games, Stay away from the silenced semi-automatic sniper rifles. They have terrible accuracy for long range shots. so only use them as DMRs instead of full on sniper rifles.

Racism Double Standards
Yep, that's right, I'm going to be talking about racism. Not going to lie, I am just some white guy, German and Irish blood in me, not a trace of Asian, African, or Latino blood in me. Here we go.
Racism is terrible and unfair, but I am sick of double standards with it, if some white kid said "Nigger", "Chink", "Beaner", etc. etc. they would instantly be labeled a racist little fuck, and probably have their ass beaten. But it seems to me, that any other race is allowed to say whatever the fuck they want, I have been called a cracker by many little punks, and seen other people called the same, and nobody ever does anything about it. Why is this not as bad as the aforementioned? I have seen black people use the word "Nigger", in reference to themselves and others, and nobody gets angry. I am not some white supremacist KKK fuck, but the double standards need to stop, either I can call you a "Nigger", you can call me a "Cracker", etc. etc., or nobody is allowed to use any of the words.

People who have no idea what they are talking about.
((NOTE: This rant is purely offensive. If you are offended by being offended, leave now.))
Does anything bother you more? It's almost as annoying as the "wiccan" try hards naming themselves Raven Bloodthorne or some other shit. (Note: I pulled this name out of the air. If I offended you, I'm terribly sorry if it was the first time.) The common raven, is a disease infested bird that feeds on carrion, maggots, carrion beetles and fruit. It is pretty, intelligent and bad-ass, but knowing just for its prettiness and badassery is pretty fucking stupid. I love crows, even though I know they are practically the same as the raven.
I once was at a fair (or was it a con?) And I overheard some girls desperately trying to be scene talking about how they wanted a Tripp themed wedding. At the same place, I overheard some wiccan try hards claiming their ancestors were burned at the stake. Now, when I read this on Something Positive (located at http://www.somethingpositive.net/index.html) Davan had the same thing happen to him. I assumed Randy had made this up since I didn't think anyone like that existed. I was wrong.
Moving away from that topic, I'm going to bash a blogger that recently transferred over to Wordpress (thank whatever made her do that.) I won't name names, but she describes herself as "a queer, kinky, inquisitive and sexy femme, navigating the intersection between sexuality and spirituality." Oh god... Just looking at that statement makes me want to apologize to my computer. The blog, is boring. I read about five lines before I lost complete interest because they're a hypocrite and a religion fascist. She hates hate, and loves God, but hates "religion posing as God." I've copied this from there:
Desire: yoghurt, fresh fruits and vegetables (in season), butch women, too much wine, respect, sushi, foreign languages, forgiveness, self-love, health, progress, smiling, bodies, openness, love, God, sharing, soy milk, knowledge, bondage, cooking, cocktails, clove cigarettes, a good dark beer, being naked among friends and self actualization.
Detest: hate, self-hate, ignorance, carpet, religious intolerance, anchovies, fast "food", gin, religion posing as God, closed-toed shoes, people who take life too seriously, lipstick, anti-intellectualism and people who tell me I haven't found the right man yet.
COME ON! Can you be any more hypocritical? I'm almost speechless! I've even run out of things to say here! That's never happened before!

Pay for play vs. free multiplayer.
Pay for play versus free multiplayer. Aaaahhh..... This subject both is notorious and famous merely for the fact no one can answer it. Here's what I think.
Why pay a month by month subscription for a game that you already spent sixty bucks on? I can understand for XBOX Live and I don't even know what the fuck PSN does since I've sworn not to touch that piece of shit. The PC has Steam. What is steam? It's a digital software distributor that offers direct download instead of having to get in your car or walk to the game store, to buy a game. To get a game on Steam, all you have to do is hit buy and install. You don't have to pay for anything except the game unless you buy an MMORPG that has a "monthly subscription fee." Translation: You flush money down the toilet because the company is a bunch of greedy assholes. Why pay for a online game every month when there's freeware MMORPGs that don't cost anything unless you want extra stuff.
To list a few, I'll just list the ones I've seen or played.
Dead Frontier MMORPG
Flyff
...Some others I forgot the name of.
Think of the people playing your pay for play game. For every one decent person, there's five hungry sweaty fat men ready to "school" you so you stop being such a "noob-tard" or other disambiguation of the term.
/facepalm.
Why pay every month for ONE game? Especially if you have other pay for play games. It boggles the mind that game owners willingly pay for that! I'd rather play a single player RPG such as Fallout 3 than play WoW and pay every month for it. Even an FPS's single player campaign. No, I'd rather play the worst FPS ever made for a month than pay money for a game I already bought.
/grabs CoD: Finest Hour.
Can you believe I used to play Finest Hour for fun? Was I on drugs? Because that's the only way I could get through it's campaign now. That's how much I hate monthly subscription fees for a SINGLE game.
Steam= :)
XBOX Live= :)
Pay for play = X_X and :(
Free multiplayer. Look at those words game devs. It could be on a P2P server for all I care. As long as it has FREE multiplayer. No fine print, no dotted line, no soul-selling. Just free.
It's 4:19. I am veeeeery tired....

Reentrance of the feelies.
Afternoon chumps, and chumpetts!
I got access to large amounts of music today. While thumbing through the libraries among libraries I got reacquainted with one of my favorite bands of all times, The Feelies. If you haven’t heard them before get ready for some delicious 80’s indie/new wave.
The Feelies, with their mellow sounds upon the 80’s conversion truly sets you up for a good listen. They remind me of a mellow (mellower I guess) Dinosaur Jr. I’m not saying Dinosaur Jr. Isn’t hardcore, but considering the wide spectrum of other punk bands it leaves them looking a bit on the soft side at times. This is just my opinion though, I’m not a music critique just a kid with some time on his hands. Anyway I hope you enjoyed the listening, I’m going to leave you today with a question that you can reply to in the comments. What is your favorite time period in music and why?
Famiclone review
Alright, so, I was in a local chain called Gameforce a few months back, and I spotted a Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt NES cartridge, feeling a huge wave of nostalgia, I bought it, and an FC Twin, a NES/SNES combo unit, and here is my review of it.
Build Quality:
Actually fairly decent, I was expecting it to be a piece of crap, but, while rather light, it is a solid unit, not cheap plastic, although, the holes drilled for the AV Inputs on the back are a bit off-center and unnecessarily huge,and they misspelled DC Input on it, (DC Intput). The controllers are actually copies of the SNES dogbone style controller, and use the same connector, I imagine these are SNES compatible, and they are fairly well built too.
Actual Quality:
I don't own a TV myself, I use a composite to vga converter box made by hyperkin, which this unit seems to hate with a burning passion, because I hooked it up, and turned it on, and there is graphical corruption, the sound plays just fine, I suspect this issue is because the unit is outputting a resolution that either the converter box or my monitor doesn't like, it does work with real tvs, however
Final Verdict:
When this works, it is a joy, I always hated using emulators, and while this is still not the real deal, it is a step up from emulation.
Think of it as using a fleshlight instead of your hand, it's more realistic, but it's still not quite as good as the real thing.

Modern Warfare 2 has become bullshit.
Bottom line. No other way to put it. I will give you a legitimate list of reasons why.
1. Camping. Okay, I could understand in Team Deathmatch you were a sniper, but camping with an LMG or instant kill sniper rifle is pure bullshit. It pisses people off for what? A better kill/death ratio? An easy win? It doesn't make you look good, or professional, it makes you look like a.) A prick. B.) An MLG tryhard or C.) Just a regular tryhard with no respect for the game, or your fellow gamers.
2. FMJ LMGs with Stopping power pro or just an FMJ LMG. Again, No respect for the game or fellow gamers. It's an insult. All you do is aim and fire 3-4 bullets, and your enemy is dead! Who even first thought of this combo? A child? A tryhard?
3. Shit-hosting. This dick move involves being the host, and purposefully giving the gamers a shitty connection by downloading something or just manipulating their connections. Again I say what the fuck?
4. Instant kill sniper rifles. I know I mentioned this before, but this has become a growing problem along with the FMJ LMG and camping. Just don't do it. It pisses people off just so you can have an easy win.
5. M203 whoring or "noob-tubing." This can also be completed with the rocket and grenade launchers. It requires no skill and has been infecting others to the point where, in a single game, there's one, two even three tubers at a time. This has been increased with one man army. You don't look good, you look like an ass.
6. Jump shooting, crouch shooting. Even worse with a shotgun on a mainly CQC map. Short rant: Pisses people off. Don't do it. You look like an ass.
7. Ghosting with marathon pro and knifing. No one can see you, no one can hear you, and commando pro just makes it worse.
Were all seven necessary to be listed? Oh fuck yes! The game was intended to let people have fun, but these were thought of by assholes with no life in their parents' basement living off of twinkies and jerking off to guro and child porn who wanted to look good to the larger community. If the people who do these things are reading this list, read this: Fuck you. You are an embarrassment to yourselves, you are an embarrassment to your game, you are an embarrassment to the fellow gamers you piss off.
People, revert back to the old MW2 that existed before these seven things. I know most, if not all, existed in MW but it's become a plague reminiscent of the smallpox infested blankets early americans gave to settlers. IT pissed off the native Americans to the point of being all WTF?
Stop. Doing. It. I like to have fun unlike you tryhard douche bags. I'd rather gargle an elephant's shit and jizz than put up with a game full of campers, tubers, and tryhards using these tricks.
Fuck you, have a shit night.

OH MY PORK!
I'm Kscorps and I've been tricked into writing useless columns for this blog-thing Lolotov made, but hopefully it won't bore you to the point of your head melting from the inside out. I'll be blogging about some games that I have unhealthy addictions to, and other stuff I like. ( I like guns, knives, gadgets, computers, video games, and other stuff.)
Posted by Lolotov because KS is having problems signing in.
Posted by Lolotov because KS is having problems signing in.
Fuck You, You're famous
Good morrow interwebs! I am Garrett, the one that decided to use his real name! Lolotov dragged me into this (because I was so unwilling) and wants me to contribute to a group about anything. Well I’m not sure what I have to contribute here, besides the dashing good looks, and the witty remarks, but I assure you I will try my best to deliver on anything I can. My area of work is in technology & art. I like long walks near the beach, and hand jo- juggling. I enjoy juggling hands. Anyway enough about me tell me more about you. (eharmony here I come)
Hello. I am Avarice.
I am Avarice and I am a contributor. Don't like it? Then pull the stick out of your ass. I like games, guns, knives, and basically anything I can talk about without sounding like an idiot. So those are the things I will talk about. Since Mr. Lolotov has games, if its nothing he cares about, I will talk about it.
AFTER A LONG 2 MINUTE DEBATE
I have decided this will not be a sole effort, several of my friends have expressed interest in being authors as well. SO GET READY FOR INTRODUCTION POSTS.
Well.
It has been a long forty minutes or so, and it is time for my first real post.
IWNet.
....
Infinity Ward Net, this is quite possibly, the dumbest idea ever. Why, you ask, did they implement it in the first place? Well, have a gander: http://kotaku.com/5385941/modern-warfare-2-pcs-iwnet-an-improvement-over-dedicated-servers-says-iw
"The biggest benefit of using IWnet by far is the fact that you don't have to worry about joining a server full of aim-bots, wallhacks, or cheaters,"
Cue facepalm.
So let me get this straight, we are going to leave hosting up to the players, and this reduces cheating how? In a traditional dedicated server scenario, yes, there are cheaters, but part of the security against them is that hosting is done by a seperate computer, which cannot be modified by the players, in this scenario, the player basically is the server, which just makes cheating all the easier.
At least in a dedicated server, you could vote an obvious cheater out of the game, and go on your merry way, but no, if there's a cheater on an IWNet match, you have three options.
1. Politely ask him to leave.
2. Deal with it
3. Leave
At the time of that post, the game wasn't out, so people just said to give them the benefit of the doubt, but now the game is out, and I don't know about the rest of you people, but I am seeing many more cheaters than I ever did in MW1.
So what's the real reason?
Piracy.
That worked great, this game was released in November of '09, and it still managed to be the single most pirated game of the year.
So Kotick, should we expect dedicated servers in MW3? What's that? You still have your head up your arse?
Oh well guys, maybe IWNet 2 will do better.
That was heavy sarcasm.

In a traditional dedicated server scenario, yes, there are cheaters, but part of the security against them is that hosting is done by a seperate computer, which cannot be modified by the players, in this scenario, the player basically is the server, which just makes cheating all the easier.
At least in a dedicated server, you could vote an obvious cheater out of the game, and go on your merry way, but no, if there's a cheater on an IWNet match, you have three options.
1. Politely ask him to leave.
2. Deal with it
3. Leave
At the time of that post, the game wasn't out, so people just said to give them the benefit of the doubt, but now the game is out, and I don't know about the rest of you people, but I am seeing many more cheaters than I ever did in MW1.
So what's the real reason?
Piracy.
That worked great, this game was released in November of '09, and it still managed to be the single most pirated game of the year.
So Kotick, should we expect dedicated servers in MW3? What's that? You still have your head up your arse?
Oh well guys, maybe IWNet 2 will do better.
That was heavy sarcasm.

If you are reading this, you are probably one of my friends that I will be sending this to. This will be yet another video game blog, mainly focused on PC and Retro gaming, and me criticizing every little thing that pisses me off. Like Ubisoft's bloody DRM, Activision's IWNet idea, and the fact that nobody has opened a legitimate ROM store. If I haven't scared you off yet, well then, you are a saint, enjoy this wild ride. And if you love me, you'll buy me a copy of this: Half-Life 2: Raising the Bar
But no pressure, we just met.
