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.

Tomb Raider: Impressions

tomb_raider111

 

There’s not too many game’s that I own (and I do have a pretty hefty collection) that I can safely say I have enjoyed playing every second of.  I can probably count it with one hand.  The reboot of Tomb Raider is one of them, so far.  It’s been about a week since I had purchased the game, and I’ve played about an hour or so since (minus the weekend).   Even the QTE filled first hour or tutorial segment wasn’t as annoying as I had anticipated.  Anyway, this new iteration of Tomb Raider is so much more like Naughty Dog‘s Uncharted, rather than the Tomb Raiders of old.  Now, even though I own a couple of the older games, I haven’t really played them, so I cannot make a direct comparison yet on how the game evolved.  (Perhaps i’ll crack open my XBox 360 Anniversary edition and give it a go)

Female Gamer’s Wanted!

Yes, you read it right, we are looking for some female gamer‘s, well mostly for data.  Gamer’s are still predominantly male, but as of late, the number of female gamer’s has risen.  I want to know what y’all are playing, and how much do you play, etc.  Below will be  a quick set of questions we’d like to know.  Nothing personal of course,  just mostly gamer related.  This data will be used for a future article we are working on.

Also, please re-blog this.  The more data we collect, the better.

We’d like to know only a few things:

  • Amount of gaming per week 
  • Age group
  • Systems owned
  • Genre mostly played
  • Student or Working Professional

Cell phone gaming DOES NOT count.

Please send all answers to justwroteablog at Gmail dot com.  And lastly, if you are from another blog, please let me know what blog you’re from and what your handle is.  Much thanks all!

 

 

Games always get a bad rap, maybe this is a good step forward

In the wake of a horrific year, President Obama and many other politicians like him briefly looked at video games as the cause. Although still part of the heavy debate, the ESRB, or Entertainment Software Rating Board, has already begun to take steps to improve educating parents on the appropriateness of titles.

Set to launch a heavy marketing campaign in the coming months, the ESRB looks to raise awareness of the rating systems through local and national television broadcasting. The ESRB is also looking to extend their ratings coverage to mobile and social games.

U.S. Senator John Thune spoke with IGN, stating, “The video game industry makes games for people of all ages, but that doesn’t mean all games are appropriate for everyone.” He continued on praising the ESRB’s actions in their awareness campaign, “I commend the industry for raising awareness of the tools available to parents that can…

It’s official, Agent Coulson survived Loki’s attack!

My theory (and a lot of other nerd’s theory’s) has been confirmed (sort of).  Agent Coulson did not die in the Avengers.  Instead, Nick Fury lied, just to get the misguided superheroes head straight and focus on what needs to get done.  Anyway, I was a bit sad, and angered when I first saw the Avengers, then, when I saw it again a few more times on Blu-Ray, it just didn’t add up.  Why would Phil just die like that, after being in 2 Iron Man‘s and in Thor.  Then, the S.H.I.E.L.D TV series was announced and it was said that Phil was going to be in that show.

Now I know that comic book time lines are not quite arrow straight, but c’mon, a TV series based off of the movie.  Anyway, at SXSW during a panel, Whedon was asked if Coulson survived the Avengers, and his response;

“I’ll tell you guys this: Heimlich.”

 

So I wonder which of the upcoming Marvel movies will Clark Gregg get resurrected.

 

The-Avengers-Agent-Coulson

 

Anyway, Whedon just wrapped up the pilot episode, and I cannot wait to see this show.

More new toys

Well, it’s just really one toy.  As I said on my ‘Ides of March‘ editorial, we have some upcoming plans in improving the content we provide you. I took a step forward today, and purchased a Samson Go Mic, in hopes of improving at least the voice overs on the un-boxing videos and beyond.  I haven’t had a go with it, perhaps I’ll play around with it a little later.  In any case, I still need to get our ninja list up.  So behind on that.

****ing BSOD!

Not my BSOD, but just a random one I pulled up for this article

I’m just about done drafting up my portion of our top 10 ninja’s list when my PC decided that it hated my article, and decided to crash, before I even saved anything, thus making the 30 or so minutes I had put in writing my part, a thing of anyone’s imagination. (more…)

Tomb Raider collectors edition un-boxing.

Tomb Raider collectors edition contents unpacked with guide.

 

Before I get cracking on the game, I thought I’d post up the video of the un-boxing real quickly. It’s a nicely put together package. I really need to get a better set up for un-boxing, so bear with me on the first few ones we are going to be posting, or have posted. Enjoy, and stay tuned later for my initial impressions. Right now the game is just looping behind me, and I am itching to play.
