MASSIVE IMAGE POST

You might have seen some of these, they might be old, but you know what? I don't care. Most of them are Mass Effect related. Enjoy!







































AND THIS IS JUST SO FUCKING AWESOME, I SAVED IT FOR LAST.

Random Crap.

2010, aka video games video games video games

An exclusive preview of TF2 in the year 2000.

I just beat Metal Gear Solid 4 on PS3. It was pretty much a life changing experience. The game was 60% cinematic 40% game play. It's in 1080p and it's like watching a movie. I came home at 2 am last night and I said to myself, "Hey I saved right before fighting the final boss, so I should just finish up real quick." There were two sets of credits and two secret extra cutscenes. It was 3 hours of cutscene after the final final final battle. I went to bed at 6 am. Fantastic game though.

The steam sale is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. I cannot stop buying games. I am gay for valve.



On Lambgoat there is a link to a new Arsis track called "Forced To Rock." I turned it off 10 seconds in when the guy yells "LET'S ROCK!" I hate music.

This is just absurd.

I am leaving for the forest tomorrow morning. This is where I will be. If you don't hear from me in 4 days, come looking.

Farewell friends.

Amanita Design.

Amanita Design is an indie games company headed by some guy over in Europe. They have made games such as Samorost 1 and 2, and most recently Machinarium. Today I saw they are discounting their pack of games from 25 dollars to 10 dollars. I bought it. Here is the LINK describing what is included in the pack.

You can play the full version of Samorost 1 to get a feel for the type of games these are. It's a flash game and doesn't take very long to complete. Very well done though. HERE

I uploaded the soundtrack of Samorost 2 for you because it's awesome. HERE

Trine

Hello friends. I have just completed the game Trine. I'm going to tell you about it.



Trine is a game in which you play as three characters. You are a knight, a thief, and a wizard. Something happens in the beginning of the game which causes all three characters to become one, thus allowing you to switch between them at any time during the game. This allows you to utilize their different skills. The thief has a grappling hook that allows you to attach to and swing from wooden surfaces. You eventually have to become very skilled with the right click and time things just right or you will fall into lava or sludge and die. It's fun. The knight is primarily for combat situations - he has a shield and sword. You can also get a lightning hammer. The wizard has the ability to conjure boxes and platforms into existence, allowing you to traverse gaps and move onward. He can also use magic to manipulate and move existing structures. This is very fun and can make for some very interesting puzzles. There are checkpoints scattered across the levels and if one of your characters dies, you can go touch it and they will be revived.



The story is told by a fellow who sounds like he should be narrating a LOTR movie. It's a good thing. It's a good story. It pretty much serves as a backdrop to the gameplay and doesn't really interfere with your puzzle solving and skeleton killing. The main enemies are skeletons, but there are also mini-bosses and bats. I hate the bats. The bats are awful and will swarm you and kill you and I hate them. There are fifteen total levels and the total game took me 6.5 hours to play though. The sound is crisp and the characters have unique voices and personalities. The variety of scenery is very nice and I think the art style is fantastic. It has that fantasy feel. Click on the pictures and look at them. Did you play the game made by Westwood Studios called Nox? Well I did and this game reminds me of it.



So as you traverse the various stages, you can collect experience (the green stuff) and level up your characters. Each has three different skills, two of which you have to find in the treasure chests scattered across the maps. You can also find items in the chests that will enhance your characters health or their skills. These become very helpful in the later stages as the enemies get tougher and tougher. There are also steam achievements to get if you're into that kind of thing. It has co-op play, but I'm not sure what that is about. We could figure that out if you buy it.



I liked Trine very much. In fact, I adored Trine. It was adorable. It was very fun. It was engaging. I paid 10 dollars for Trine. It was on sale. It retails for twenty dollars. You can buy it here. Is it worth twenty dollars? I don't really think so. It was very fun, but only lasted for 6.5 hours. You could try the demo. I think you should definitely buy this game, but maybe wait until it goes on sale again.
