You got your Half Life 2 in my New Caprica

Minus the acting, but it's still pretty cool. This was apparently made for under $500, and even has an HD option (bottom right).



Pretty awesome for a fan movie - I'll enjoy seeing what they do with the rest of it. I doubt there'll be any high drama, but it's fun to see their impression of how all that crowbar action would have gone down in real life.

Someday I'll post something substantial

Until then...

Left 4 Dead Platform?

So Left 4 Dead is now up for preorder on Steam. Problem is, I also own a 360 now, and the only person who I KNOW will be playing the game will be playing it on there. Are any of you guys planning on playing it, and if so, on what platform(s)?

The FPS players' best friend now exists, in paintball form:



Found it on Kotaku.

Whew, it's been a while. I've been pretty busy - starting to look for a job for the fall (I have an app in with Game Informer, hoping to hear back from them soon), moving down to Illinois for July and getting ready to be up in Minneapolis come August. So, I haven't had a lot of time for writing. Also, I FINALLY (after I think 13 months of waiting) got into the Mythos beta, and have been getting into that over the last few days. I'll give a more comprehensive preview once I have a little more experience with it, but so far it's looking to be very, very exciting (and sadly, much more refined and enjoyable than Hellgate: London, which is by the same developer).


And a friends sent me to this site, which has such gems as these:

Important news

Hans has something important to say, over here.

I never got past the first part with the spikes

I haven't really felt like writing lately - I have, however, been reading way too many gaming news and analysis sites and been sucked into various games, including Bioshock, Everyday Shooter, Act Raiser, Dungeon Keeper 2, Shadow of the Colossus, Heroes of Might and Magic III, and probably others that I'm forgetting. I guess I'm at a schizophrenic point in my gaming.

Also, I stumbled upon JACT. It's an interesting and, as far as I can tell, legit service (I've screened it with every anti-malware tool I have, and have found nothing). Basically, you earn points for playing certain games (the list is about 300 titles), and then you can trade large numbers of those points in for games, accessories, &c. If any games you like are on its Supported list, you might want to give it a shot.
