A Solid Fever

While playing MGS4 i thought to my self that maby i would get more out of this game if I would finish the old games firts. I know, you wouldn't thinkt that that would help.

So i decided to buy MGS 1, 2 and 3(along whit Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake incl.). There was one problem, or two actually.

I started playing MGS but after the cut sceen where I'm told about Metal Gear the game hangs. It apears to be to many scraches on the disc since i bought it used, obviously. So, I'm looking into getting it replaced whit a new old copy or a copy of Twin Snakes for the GCN if i can't get the PS version.

So, move on to say MGS3 since it takes place before 1. Well, thats where the second problem comes in. I don't have a BC PS3 or a PS2 at hand right now because I sold it along whit MGS2 and some other games. I figured I would get atleast a week of playtime form the first one because of work and EURO 08 so that i would pick one up next week.

Well I was going to go buy the new PSP tomorrow along whit MGS PO since my old one is to big . So I might as well buy a new PS2 Slim while im at it. Hey, it only 1499kr for the PSP and 999kr for the PS2 Slim so its not that bad. Its about $250 whit last years conversion but its more like $500 now. Well I have around $2500 sitting in the bank and my bro owes me $200 for a pair of Fotball shoes I bought him and im selling my old PSP for $100(thats $50 bucks if you magicly convert to the comparable price).

Soon Snake will sneak up and jack ppl again.

BTW, is Twin Snakes a better version then the old one if you dont really care about the graphix since they both look like crap compared to MGS4. I've heard that TS has some frame rate problems something that i dont remember the PS version having when i played it around a 100y ago.

P.S. I have a new Achievement Update that i need to write but I'm to lazy right now. I got my 50 something points left thanks to Grid.

From the Bleachers Union

I might as well mention this here too. I have started the From The Bleachers Union and am currently recruting members. We are still a small union but whit your help we can get big and the center of all things FTB and sports. We are currently 14 members strong and are growing slowly but surely.

And if your wondering if this is the union that they mentiond in last weeks FTB, it is.

We have Brian, Aaron and Shanker already members in the union and they stop by from time to time, well Brian and Aaron do but not so much Shanker because he doesnt seem to do anything whit hes account.

So join up and stop by.

//Union Leader, Me.

I Will Race For Ferrari Next Year

Its a bit old(4 days) but there will be a new F1 game next year.

Codemaster (Toca Race Driver series, Colin McRae series) has signed a deal whit FIA to bring out a new F1 game for next years season.

If you don't know, I'm a huge F1 fan and this game stormed its way to my most wanted list in 340km/h. You clould even say im looking forward to this F1 game more then Gears of War 2... but I won't.

Whit the last great F1 game beeing EAs F1 season 99-02 I have been left hanging for a great F1 game for 6 years. And it being made by the greatest racing game developers in the World(Turn 10 and PD don't come even close) it cant be bad.

Here's the full story

EDIT: To answer themovi3nuts question where the 340km/h came from since the comment section aparently doesnt work.

In the late '80s and early '90s F1 cars had 3L+ V12s (and later V8s) on a extremly light weight car so they maxed well over 400km/h, though never got up to those speeds because of the short streightaways.
Kimi Räikkönen set the top speed of 328km/h in Istanbul last weekend and had an avarage speed around 230-240km/h, dont remember exactly.
Also F1 cars are much faster then the Moto GP bikes in both top speeds and cornering, also CART cars are around 10 sec slower then the SLOWEST F1 car(like Force India and Toro Rosso) per lap on an avarage lenght track.

Will Saints Row 2 Be Bigger Thanks to GTA IV?

I was just thinking that whit GTA IV breaking sales records and being the highers rated game, probebly ever, that it will boost the popularety of Saints Row 2 when it comes out in august?

Yeah, I think so. Whit GTA IV pulling in more players(note that I didnt say gamers.... damn) to the open world crime games that haven't played a GTA, SR or a similar game before, I think that after playing it they will most likely want more of the same.

Now, Saints Row was mostly well resived by critics though having some flaws. Saints Row sold well too but not as well as GTA III did when it came out(GTA III being the first 3D GTA game and therefore being a new take on a classic game series that can be compared to Saints Row and whit GTA not beeing that populer or well known untill III).

So, by my logic and whit SR2 almost looking as good as GTA IV though whitout the fog and distance effects I think that SR2 will be a big hit this year.
No I'm not saying that it will sell better then GTA IV but that it will be among the best selling games of '08.
Yes, I do think that it will sell better then MGS4 mostly because its on two systems but also that MGS4 isn't really a game that is as compelling to as many ppl as a GTA like game.
It will sell more then three times more then the first one did and be a much more flushed out and polished game.

Well thats what I think about at work since there is sometimes not that much to do.
Tell me what you guys think, am I right at assuming this or am I totaly of the radar whit these thoughts?
