I am what I am. I like food, photography, and anything that does not involve getting mortally wounded, or dying. I don't take things too seriously, so i'm not at all that serious about being serious. Seriously, just have fun, which is what I like to do sometimes, as long as I don't die, or get mortally wounded.

Happauge PVR 2 Impressions and a quick Tomb Raider Gameplay video

A few days ago, I finally bit the bullet and bought a Happauge PVR 2 to provide you guys with some additional content on the games we are playing.  I had bought this knowing that it will not work with the PS3 using HDMI.  Since it has HDCP protection, you need to hook up your PS3 via component connection, and not HDMI.  Anyway, the install, and set up on the PC was pretty straight forward.  I just had to reset my PS3 video settings to do component since I was hooked up via HDMI.  Long story short, after about a 15 or so minutes, installing the software, hooking it up, and resetting my PS3, I was up and running.   (more…)

Resident Evil 6 Meets Left 4 Dead 2 in Upcoming DLC

OOh, nice nice

Jen's avatarAnother Castle

Ever wonder how Coach, Ellis, Rochelle, and Nick would take on the T-Virus? Well, wonder no more. Capcom announced on March 15th that Resident Evil 6 and Left 4 Dead 2 worlds will collide.

The all-new No Mercy mode will be the arena to play as Valve’s New Orleans’ zombie apocalypse survivors. But not to leave our Louisiana troubadours in the cold, Valve will also include two special infected, the Witch and the Mini-Tank.

Felt like Left 4 Dead 2 could use more zombies? You got that, too! Valve developers created Resident Evil 6 enemies for their world — Lepotitsa, Napad, and Ogroman — and are to be expected sometime in the Spring.

Limited to the PC version exclusively, Resident Evil 6 will release March 22nd and will see the free DLC crossover pack available on April 5th. To access the crossover, download Left 4 Dead 2 [if not already…

Chrono Jigga – A Remix Album by 2 Mello

Interesting

Chronos's avatarOVERHYPED GAMES

So I was searching the internet for any news regarding a possible Chrono Trigger remake or sequel when I stumbled upon this curious mashup between Chrono Trigger soundtrack and Jay-Z. I’ve never been mush of a fan of the hip-hop scene. Nonetheless, I must admit that this mix is pretty incredible. The album is available for a free download on the official site and also on the player above.

This album was mixed by 2 Mello, a music producer and rapper from Lexington, KY and who, apparently, is also a gamer with a great taste for RPG’s. If Yasunori Mitsuda and Nobuo Uematsu only dreamt of what their work was mixed into, their jaws would drop as much as mine did. You can check the project’s official page here.

Samsung BT gamepad

samsung_Game_Pad_Galaxy_S4_16702_640screen

 

Announced alongside its new flagship phone, the Galaxy S IV, this new BT gamepad will allow us to finally play some mobile games comfortably and less stressful. Of course if developers support it. It will hold a phone sizes from 4″ – 8″, will be powered by AAA batteries and connects via BT. Finally we can play emulated OG games properly. It does look a bit like an Xbox controller and I’m not really keen on those, but beggars can’t be choosers right? Click on the link below for more info.

Tomb Raider: Impressions update

I need a spa-day

I got the chance to play the game a bit more today, and I did experience my first frustrations.  There’s a part where you’re being swept down a mountain by gravity and strong currents and you have to dodge some obstacles.  Thing was it was hard to see what to dodge.  I died maybe 8 times via impalement in the neck.  It was quite disturbing to see Lara get stabbed by a rod in the neck.  I guess if you are in that situation, you wont have much time to really move about.  After finally managing to get out of that section alive, the next part, which was graphically gorgeous, involved a parachute and some tall trees.  Again, you had to maneuver yourself to avoid the trees, otherwise, Lara gets impaled in the torso.   (more…)

Pikachu 3DS XL Coming Stateside?

Not sure how i feel about carrying a huge 3DSXL with Pikachu’s mug on it, but I am excited to see it in a commercial. And speaking of that commercial, it reminds me of those after school commercials of yesteryear.

When the special edition Pikachu 3DS XL was original announced as a Japan-only release, I was super jelly. But, just when I thought we would never get any of the cool special edition handhelds over in the US, the team at the official Pokemon Facebook page started teasing the announcement of some Pikachu related news coming tomorrow.
