Was just reading an article fed to Feed The Gamer, and suddenly I’m reminded that I actually used to turn on my Nintendo 64 when I was going to sleep, just to hear certain music from the game. I can even remember the feeling I had first time I ever fired up Turok 2: Seeds [...]

A Street Fighter Rant

28, Jul 2010

I love the Street Fighter series, I love every aspect of it. Except the following the gimmick and lamer players. I don’t know if these are words used in the SF scene, frankly I don’t give a shit. I’ll anyway explain what I mean by gimmick and lamer.   Gimmick Gimmick players are the ones you [...]

Oh, my fucking sweet… i dunno what. But, DAMN! Every Street Fighter fan has seen these tweets from Yoshinori Ono, eh? Been teasing that awesomeness is coming during Comic-Con 2010, like the little Japanese tease he is. Well, read on, because here it is! The stuff he’s been causing anxiety and wet dreams over. I just got to see [...]

Beyond Black Mesa

10, Jul 2010

It’s obviously the time for fan made films. I’ve already written about the excellent shorts Street Fighter: Beginnings End and Street Fighter: Legacy, and my jaw dropped over Kevin Tancharoen’s epic Mortal Kombat Rebirth. Now there’s more surfacing that looks to be of pure awesomeness. I never did love the Half-Life series that much (Yeah… well, so shoot me!), but I own them [...]

If you’re a Street Fighter IV and Super Street Fighter IV lover, you may have come across sf4answers. If you haven’t still, I highly recommend you get over there, and be quick about it! Now, if you’re a beginner at SFIV and SSFIV, and you’re looking to improve your game, or simply learn more about [...]

I just read a brilliant article on Activision (abbr. ATVI) and their new way of doing business, majorly screwing over the little guy, indie developers, major studios and gamers across the globe. I urge you to read it, and read it well. The following article is deep and it shows that a lot of research [...]

8-Bit Fatalities

26, May 2010

I can’t believe I missed these!  These works of pure retro-gaming art were released over a year ago by TastyPaints aka. Steven Lefcourt, but I’ll repost them here due to the extremely high awesomeness factor of each and every one of these paintings!     Find TastyPaints on Flickr, Twitter and on his under-construction website.

Everything that made Street Fighter IV as awesome as it is, is continued and polished. Everything that Street Fighter IV lacked, has been added and polished. If you’re a true fighting game fan, or more specifically a Street Fighter fan, I could end this entry right here, and you’d already know what I mean and you would probably [...]

The Legacy trailers from yesterday looked awesome! This short wipes the floor with them!! At least for now… tomorrow will show for sure. I’m not sure if this is a trailer, or only a short, but this is awesome!! Looks very low budget, but holy shit is this well done! The fans will of course [...]

Just Street Fighter

4, May 2010

I want to talk more Street Fighter. So, I’ll try to divide this entry up into two sections as the things I want to talk about is very separate, but still; Street Fighter.   First thing’s first! I’ve finally been making some progress again in Street Fighter IV. Yup, I still play it as Super Street [...]

Been a while since I’ve talked about, browsing  around the web for and even playing any kind of Street Fighter game. So, since my now modded Fightstick SE is working properly, I’ve been doing all of the above. I went over to Capcom Unity and wanted to get update myself on the latest Street Fighter and Super Street [...]

Retro Awesomeness

8, Apr 2010

Since I am a gamer of over 20 years, I often get a little moist in the eye sockets when I see some of my beloved childhood games and influential developers’ logo’s used or re-used in cool settings. Even when I’m just reminded of the games I forgot I ever played and loved, I tend [...]

I haven’t been excited about any 2D platformer release since Super Mario Bros. 3 came out just in time for christmas so many, many years ago for my beloved NES. But now, I’m starting to feel that same sensation again, a tingling sensation in my toes and some blood rushing to places where it only should be [...]

Major games developers has a thing or two to learn from other developers. Some of them seem to have forgotten how they got so big and successfull, forgotten their origins, where others embrace and include theirs. For those of you somewhat interested in the gaming industry, you probably already know who I’m talking about. Well, I’ll [...]

Connect Gaming

8, Jan 2010

I think it’s time to talk a little about my gaming clan, Connect Gaming. After we decided to go ahead with playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 actively within the clan, there’s been a sudden boom in interest regarding us. People are sending in application after application to join us. [...]

I always said I was never going to get Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (MW2). This because of Activision’s total disregard for the consumers, Infinity Ward’s ingnoring of anyone else but the Xbox 360 gamers and the extreme overpricing of the game itself. I have to admit now, though. I bit the bullet and [...]

Great news, huh? Steam has decided to ban all online keystore purchased Steam activation keys for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. This, in my very honest opinion, has Activision written all over it. The money hungry games publisher giant once again shows the gaming community that they don’t give a flying fuck about anything else [...]

OK, so I’ve written about Borderlands two times earlier… But it’s such a great game! I’ve maxed my Soldier (Roland) out now in terms of leveling, and Playthrough 2 is almost over. So, where I imagine many players call it quits and go on another search for The Vault with another class, I don’t! No, [...]

I have been given the privilege to talk to Gert Haar-Jørgensen, one of the founders of Zero Point Software, the developer of the upcoming game Interstellar Marines. Jørgensen, has been surprisingly open regarding the issues ZPS (Zero Point Software) are facing, the financial restructuring and the engine IM (Interstellar Marines) is built on. But there [...]

Borderlands was released here in the EU yesterday, and I don’t think I’ve been thinking about anything else since. I had high expectations towards Borderlands, but nothing like this! Man, it’s so fucking awesome you won’t believe! I’m absolutely loving the RPG integration with the FPS gameplay. Fallout 3 also did this in some way, [...]

Borderlands Cometh!

22, Oct 2009

Let’s drop all the negativity and hate entries for a while, and talk about the next AWESOME thing coming my way, namely Gearbox’ new baby, Borderlands! My goodnes how I’m looking forward to play this awesome looking game! I’ve been watching endless preview videos, gameplay videos and reading just about every article and review there [...]

o_O Yeah, I know, I use that expression a lot. But it’s never been so fitting to anything than the following Geeks.co.uk article about Activision CEO Bobby “AnalRapeMeNoWithLubeKthx” Kotick. http://www.geeks.co.uk/7282-activision%e2%80%99s-bobby-kotick-hates-developers-innovation-cheap-games-you What the hell?! I say again; -”WHAT THE HELL?!” I won’t make a long entry, as the article speaks for itself, but I will say this; I’m [...]

Infinity Ward has done what I never thought they would… Fucking the PC gamers over! 2009′s most anticipated game, Modern Warfare 2 seems to be ruined for the PC. I don’t mean the delay rumour, which has been confirmed untrue, but the fact that PC gamers will no longer be able to connect to dedicated [...]

Indie Game Developers

1, Oct 2009

Many of my friends, and members of The Group Thing is well aware that I’m a huge supporter indie game developers. One of my close friends is one of these developers (-don’t you worry Domi, you’re getting an entire entry for yourself later!), and there’s the major AAA Indie developer Zero Point Software which I follow very [...]

So many people still think of gaming as a childish treat, and as a past time only the so called geeks spend hours on. Today, this is a false and wrong assumption. Today, we find gamers of all ages and social status, on all platforms available for exactly this which is now commonly known as [...]

Guild Wars

26, Sep 2009

Well, I never thought I’d be the one to start playing these MMORPG’s as a pure blood FPS player,  but I gotta say I’m quite enjoying Guild Wars. I grabbed the free 14 day – 10 hour trial,  played it for a few hours, and I was sold.  It’s becoming an old game, but still highly [...]

Raptr! ‘Nuff Said

19, Sep 2009

I’ve written about these guys before. But since then, Raptr has kept developing and released a great deal of new features. And as I told you guys would happen, and personally expected, Raptr has gained some serious user activity. Apart from being a gamer’s social network, Raptr now offers so much more. A detailed tracking of each game [...]

I want it! I WANT IT! So, does anyone have one to give to me? I like gifts, so feel free to hand me one. No seriously, the pad fighting is getting a little tedious. To be perfectly honest, I don’t like beating stick-fighters with a pad. I don’t know how to explain it properly, [...]

The new Wolfenstein is out. I hear mixed opinions regarding the game. Most are negative. It has launched some serious idiocy amongst gamers and Wolfenstein fans. This thread or “article” or whatever the hell they call it proves how absolutely moronic certain gamers are! Christ allmighty… their mums must be so proud. Yeah, the multiplayer aspect is shameful. [...]

Yes! I was so uttely bored out of my fucking mind at work! So I was YouTubing and surfing the net… a lot… On you tube I found NOTHING worth talking about… Everything is shite! SHITE I TELL YOU! But! While surfing the net I came across something so cool it nearly made me moist! Remember this? [...]

Waiting For – Rage

16, Aug 2009

After the new Rage trailer shown at QuakeCon 2009, id Software shows once again who the king of FPS is. If i were a major games developer, I’d feel threatened. Very threatened. And I’d make damn sure my game was nowhere near release when Rage is due release. This is id Sofware we’re talking about here, they [...]

This following statement absolutely breaks my heart. July 6th 2009 Zero Point Software A/S filed for bankruptcy. Zero Point Software are the people behind the term AAA Indie and the game-in-development Interstellar Marines. A developer that truly fits the term “For Gamers, By Gamers”.  Interstellar Marines has awesome potential to become a great game for fans [...]

Left 4 Dead 2 is coming up! I can’t wait! After countless hours of Left 4 Dead and the TGT Haunted mod toghether with most members of The Group Thing, it’s gonna be awesome with Left 4 Dead 2 with new maps and characters. The forumla I take it will be the exact same as the original; ZOMBIE [...]

Controller Whacking

7, Aug 2009

Now that I’m getting fairly decent at SFIV, not good, but decent, I now find my GameStop Advanced Controller to be a little man-wank. Quite often when I want to,  and in fact don’t want to do certain moves or attacks, the controller decides to do the complete opposite. That frustrates me to the point [...]

MEH! I Lost My Entry!

25, Jul 2009

Fuck! I managed to be a moron and delete my Thrustmaster T-Mini slaughter entry! Accidentally of course! Well, it went a little something like; “OMG, WTF Thrustmaster T-Mini iz t3h ANAL!” So, in other words, don’t get the Thrustmaster T-Mini! It blows and sucks harder then you can ever imagine! Your thumbs get raped on [...]

Yup, that’s the name and brand of my new controller. After my previous little slaughter of the Thrustmaster T-Mini, I had to go get myself another gamepad. The GameStop Advaned Controller has it all, and it was cheap! A fourth of the price of and Xbox 360 controller! It also satisfies my needs and my [...]

Street Fighter IV

22, Jul 2009

Come on! Is the anything cooler and more addictive than Street Fighter IV? The answer is “NO”, plain and simple! I was afraid I might have had hyped myself up way too much on the insane hype around the game itself, but no, this game even managed to impress me way beyond my expectations concidering! [...]
