Wut Do We Do Now

Gaming deals time!

That's Unreal... Man!

Unreal Engine 3, mmm you can almost taste exploding flesh when you hear that name. Well tasting flesh isn't my forte, but games like Gears of War 1 and 2, and Unreal Tournament are built on the Unreal Engine 3. But there are also about 10,000 other games built on it too. Why have I brought this topic up? Good question! Because if there are any of you out there that want to get into game design but don't know how, the answer is... UDK (Unreal Development Kit!)! This is the free Unreal 3 engine at your disposal. The tools the pro's use! They are quite confusing though so beware.

The good news is if you get a hang of it and if you do make a game you can make up to $5000 in cash! (After that you have to start paying 20% to Epic Games..). But that's a hefty chunk of chang-a-langs isn't it? Anyway, link, UDK, I suggest tutorials for not as much frustration.. Just check them out on Google. If anybody makes any maps or anything feel free to post them in the comments and I'll check them out.

5SD, 4FSD, 3DS?

As everyone knows the new Nintendo 3DS is being released soon! Well, it's been pushed back a bit to 2011 for us AMERICAN folk. But 3D gaming without glasses is worth it right? Wait.. It costs $300? Couldn't you buy a playstation with that money?

I imagine the new technology for seeing something in 3D without glasses on will push the industry. But what I'm worried about is, isn't 3D just a fad? I remember it in the late 90's with those special blue and red glasses. What happened to 3D media then? It died in a massive explosion of lame proportions.

(I'm sorry for the posts without much formatting, just blame Apple. I'll be back on my computer soon!)

Innappropriateness

This is quite odd.. But who doesn't love a good ol' bunch of imaginary titles?

Quite good imaginary titles! But I prefer such classics as, Billy James the Imaginary Armadillo, or, Animal Crossing: Rambo Town. Ah yes, the good old days of video games.

Oh silly G4.

Remember... Wait what am I remembering?

Halo: Reach is launching tonight and in honor of the most popular series on the Xbox (maybe the most popular trilogy ever?), I've decided to make a blog post to it! You're welcome, Halo.

I will be posting a review of it this weekend after I get my hands on it, I will also be reviewing the franchise in general and the transitions between the games. I'll also explore where the immensely popular series can go next!

Happy Monday everyone!

Not-So Legendary Unboxing

I honestly just wait for the game itself to show up in my hands... But I know everybody enjoys seeing it! So here's the unboxing of the Legendary Edition of Halo: Reach. Later this (next) week I'll be posting a review of Reach and its predecessors. Video after the break.

Immortal Truce: Mortal Kombat

Well, according to Amazon.com we won't be seeing this game until December 31st, 2020 but you can still watch the gameplay video from PAX 2010 to get pumped to get it for your children or grandchildren!

Mortal Kombat is set to be launched in 2011 and has gone back to its oh-so-blood-and-gorgeous-gore roots. No more cartoon crap! The game is in 3D and the trailer below is demonstrating the new tag team mode, just like Marvel Vs. Capcom. Yes, unoriginality in a good way! Video after the break.

I Saw You

I know this post is a bit random, but I had to include it. What doesn't this weapon tool have? I'm fairly sure it has a built-in periscope on the top, and I do believe there is a refrigerator on it.

It's the new Bosch Axial Glide Mitter Saw! This will only put you back $700, so everyone go buy one! I think there is a 12 pack of Coors inside the armchair fridge on the left side of it!

Apples and Oranges!


Well Apple has decided to manufacture a string of new iPods! Whether you have the Nano, Shuffle or the Touch... You're shit out of luck, because the new models are of much higher quality. Just like everything else in this electronic age, your devices go out of date within a year and are then updated to be better, stronger, faster and more awesome! (Sometimes.)

Holiday Season: Terror

Ah yes, the holiday season. The time for being jolly and.. Eggnog! Then on the other hand there is the slew of games that all are released in the same two months. You'd think that the publishers would have some mercy to at least make the consumer think they're not spending their complete life savings in a short period of time. This could be achieved by spreading out the releases, but instead they are all clumped up, big and intimidatey-like.

Welcome!

Welcome! This blog is all about media. Whether it is books, movie discussions, video game reviews, technology reviews and help, or just music news. I'll be posting news, events, and everything you need to know! You'll get it all here.

Now to introduce the blogger! I'm Theo. That's enough for now, isn't it?

I hope everyone enjoys reading and don't forget to comment (I've made it so that readers can comment anonymously with no sign-up) and subscribe... Or I'll find you.
