New York City Comic Con!

Oh hell!

Friends and I went to the Comic Con last year and had a blast. But this year, the Comic Con featured freakin' Dragon Age on demo, a Penny-Arcade booth and a panel with Ken Levine (Bioshock) and Todd Howard (Fallout 3).

Did we go the wrong year? Are we being punished for a deed so dark that we are being denied Dragon Age?

Oh well, I guess we'll have to settle with a little video demo then...

The Year's Best Top Ten Game List Countdown of DOOM

Image
Everybody is doing it... A Year in Review. This Year's Ten Best. A "Must Play" list. I must admit, I deeply enjoy lists and countdowns to "Best this", and "Worst that". Lists are very satisfying, especially when you can look at one and exclaim "done this!", or "got that!". Someone once said that lists are fun because you get to cross out stuff from them. I find myself in agreement with that statement, although it all depends on how much stuff is on the list vis-a-vis what you did, or can, cross out. Like a jar of pickles that you empty out over a certain period : you can't really eat all the pickles in one sitting, and you can't let it sit there for a whole year. So you better not pick up a jar that's too big, or you won't be able to finish it before it goes to waste; and you can't get a jar that's too small because you'll quickly end up with nothing in it, and no snack. I guess what I'm trying to say...

Resident Disappointment

Chris Redfield is back to fight the good fight. He's going to kick ass. T-Virus, G-Virus, or Las Plagas : it doesn't matter. Chris will burn 'em out, and make the world a better. ...that is if he and his partner Sheva could manage their inventory correctly. You see? These two can't unstack shit. They can't, for the life of them, pick individual items out of a pile. Let's use an everyday example : Chris has a pack of gum, because he ate lots of garlic, and Sheva really likes gum. Sheva wants some gum, so Chris will throw her the whole package instead of giving her one or two pieces. Now Chris doesn't have any gum, since Sheva has the entirety of his stocks. Chris could request gum and get the package back, but Sheva might still need the gum, because she ate tons of garlic too. Now, let's imagine the gum is "bullets", and the garlic is zombies, or Las Plagas. Do you see the problem therein? Other than me possibly having analogy issues, ...

Too Much Info

There is literally too much going on this week to even mention the gems among the abject, turbulent noise of the E3 circus. If you want to know what's cool, and what's not, go check out the conferences, the Info-blogs like Joystiq and Kotaku, and watch the next episode of CO-OP . I just don't have the time to give you an account of things to come. It still is an awesome week. There are things showing up on radar now that just make gaming so much worth the time we put in it. Although the Console maker's keynotes were more often than not weak and embarrassing, this year's E3 has created memorable memes and great expectations. Alright...I have games to play now. You know? Current games that are actually OUT, like InFamous. So, stop waiting and stop reading. Go play something, will ya?
