About Me: Sorry, but I haven't yet shared the information about myself that would typically display here. Check back later to see if that changes, or if I instead choose to remain an enigma. |
Talking about Geometry Wars Retro Evolved on the forums, goat asked if there was a downloadable PC version. There isn't, but I got to thinking that since the game is fairly simple, surely someone somewhere made a homebrew version?
Well, turns out they did. And, turns out I found it! AND, TURNS OUT I UPLOADED IT! Get it HERE, and see for yourself just what the fuss is about. It's not perfect, but it's a very good feel of what Geometry Wars is about, only with a bit less of the extreme difficulty. Plus, it can be played with keys.
I'm not sure how to react to this one. My Meteos review is basically the most disciplined and 'professional' review I ever wrote. Professional in this instance meaning that I tailored it to what I thought the site wanted. After all, if one is ever to make a living at this sort of thing, then one must be prepared to succumb to editorial changes. It was with this in mind that I reeled in my instincts to litter the review with gags and flowery superlatives, and instead make sure I covered the game as completely as possible.
HAPPY WINTER-EEN-MAS, ONE AND ALL!
I actually watched most of this before I realised just what was so impressive about it.
A really good Ikaruga movie.
Gameplay movies are getting seriously easy to find. One day I hope to be good enough at something to upload some of my own.
I think I don't like the fact that I have grown up. Well, if not exactly grown up, at least that I have become more mature. More adult, and more responsible.
There just never seems to be enough time to play at the moment. What was once an all-encompassing obsession has been constantly relegated and demoted in importance. It currently sits as an 'occasional pastime', something I only do when I have nothing else to do instead.
A massive reason for this is of course my partner. Now, she does play games herself. But, this does not have the effect one would think it would. No, instead of encouraging me to play more, I instead find myself at the other side of the looking-glass I used to be in.
It took some time, but I'm finally completed breaking the back of my Cyberscore submissions. 329 records, to be exact, which is everything I can submit a score for in Mario Kart DS and Wario Ware Inc. Well, not everything, since there are still more Mario Kart DS possibilities, but these are all the ones I can do right now. This has me in 381st position, which is somewhat nice! Higher than I expected, to tell the truth. I was expecting top 500, and I got there sooner than I thought I would.
It was once summised that "You are never more than 17 clicks away from everything on the internet." I have a new take on it - You are never more than 5 clicks away from yet ANOTHER FREAKING BLOG! What do people do, wake up and instantly click for their fix at canadianangstymotherfuckerwhoisalsoalittlebitcocky.com? Or, does the webmaster at canadianangstymotherfuckerwhoisalsoalittlebitcocky.com simply believe these people need their fix? It's quite an amazing explosion, and possibly even a little disturbing.
