  Shoot me now!!!

  Yeah that's exactly what I was saying a few hours ago! I was having an "episode" with Gears of War for the PC, because I couldn't seem to get the friggen thing update, not only that but it wouldn't let me even sign in because of the update. I had to manually download the thing, and even then - get this, you wont believe what I'm about to say - when I started up the patch, it automatically triggered my Asus Bios update!

  

  I myself have trouble believing it. A patch that automatically triggers my bios update, of which I have the latest... dude that's just f***ed no matter how you put it! Not only that but the serious nervous brakedown that I was about to have was honestly making me crazy; switching my taskbar to the plain old Windows one, screwing with my wireless adapter. Eventually I got everything to work and was able to get an hour and half or so of gameplay, great game, I'm thinking maybe I'll put up a gameplay video of it? I'm not too sure myself, as I just picked up Unreal Tournament 3 - great bargain price of 29.99 - and Opposing Fronts, so I'll see what happens.

  GTAIV this week!

  Yeah I know it's been a while since I posted anything up here, but University is a b**ch.

  Random thoughts

  I've got a few.

  - Assassin's Creed fails on the PS3. Bad framerate, no vibration (yes I do have a Dualshock 3), no Sixaxis functions, and overall these collectables that are what the Achievement points for the X360 seems to be, aren't structure into achievements for the PS3 like Devil May Cry 4 is. I suppose you could fix those things with a patch - minus the framerate - but then again, things as simple as that go without saying that they should have been included.

  - Patapon is a great game. I want to call it innovative, and an example that there are a few developers in Japan that aren't stuck in the same rhetorical cycle that developing over there has become.

  - Metal Gear Solid 4 is starting to get on the hype train, I wonder if that train can give it as much success as it for number two. Clearly it's my most anticipated game of 08, and I hope that it delivers.

  I think I'm going to start a special segment where I find the most absurd quotes from System Wars and make a blog post into them. Stuff like saying Peter Molyneux is in the same league as Shigeru Miyamoto, or that Fable 2 looks as good if not better than Crysis. Like I've said opinion is nice, but sometimes you need to draw the line between opinion and absurd stupidity.

  Fanboy Edition - Getting caught

  I don't want to get into too much detail, as I probably don't want to get moderated, but suffice to say if you're going to say something controversial, and if your going to say something without explaining it, then don't write it up, because people will hold you to it. This is especially true in cases that clearly depict how much of raving fanboy you are, but whatever. Damage control at it's finest!
