We all know SOPA is bad by now, but what...
I just recently signed onto the anti-SOPA site that MSPA redirects to, after realizing that I don’t want to be one of those people that didn’t do anything on the extremely off chance that the bill goes through. I think I should share my thoughts on it.
If you’re reading this post, you probably already know what SOPA is since this blog is obscure and SOPA is the biggest issue on...

Uncharted, except by that one guy that wrote the...
The Uncharted series has made quite a rapid rise to fame within the PS3 gaming realm. The first game made a strong entrance, if lacking in variety in locations and features in gameplay. The second game changed all that by taking what was right and making it better, while adding a decent multiplayer. Then there’s the third game.
To start off, Uncharted 2 is one of my favorite PS3 games of...

This is the part where I write my first...
Except for the fact that I refuse to stop playing long enough to write anything on it.

The world of undying enemies becomes less scary...
I’ve made progress on Dark Souls, not enough progress to properly scrutinize it though. Until then here are my general thoughts of the experience so far.

2. Ripostes (powerful counterattacks)...

I hope I get out of this with my bravery intact.
Bought Dark Souls today, I figured I needed to play a game that was actually challenging.
I am now cowering at bonfires while trying to gauge if I’m high enough of a level to get to the next campfire intact. I clumsily fumble my shield as I try to consistently execute the elusive but powerful riposte, and I wonder why the first backstab target they give you is one that will hardly feel it...

Ironically, I can't really rage about Rage.
I’ve never played anything by id before, though I knew they made Doom and Quake (shows how much I know), so I wasn’t sure what to expect when I walked out of Walmart with the PS3 copy of Rage (also the Anarchy edition stuff). I went home, ran the update ritual as is standard with any game you don’t buy within the first hour that it comes out, and dived in.
As I have played...
Introductory post for those wandering in.
Here’s a description about me tailored to the average attention span of a person on the internet.
I come from a childhood of playing early PSX and PC games from the late 1990’s and onward, slowly working my way up to higher generation gaming with an focus on the Playstation and Nintendo consoles. I spent a couple years as a Linux-only user while I wandered through the vastly...
