Random monkeys burst from the wall and sleep on the ceiling. How about that?

In memory of Gary Gygax.

I just learned a little while ago that Gary Gygax has died. Now I've not been an avid RPG player and I haven't played pen and paper DnD/RPG's in close to 10 years, but this news has almost brought me to tears.

It's not because I was close to him or even knew him. For me the feeling is more of what I PERCEIVED about Gygax. This man who co-founded pen and paper role playing was instrumental in the way board games and video games progressed over the past 30 years.

I'm not saying that without him there wouldn't have been progressions in RPG's, but because of him this type of gaming is much more prolific in the world.

So to his family and friends, who I am certain are hurting, my condolences. But as I read in another forum, "He's gone to help God create New World's somewhere else."

28 Weeks Later should have been made 28 Years later.

Honestly, what faults I might have had with the first movie were monumentally dwarfed by the second one.  Just yesterday, before I went and saw the movie, I was watching some of the interviews and they talked about people wanting a more cerebral and plausible story line than people coming back from the grave.  Well let me tell you that this is definitely not it.

No spoilers but let me ask you this...

Where are the guards for the only living infected person?

Why are kids in these movies so stupid that they don't respond to their own names?

If its supposed to be a secure location why aren't all the doors locked?

Floating chemical gas > than being in a car with vents and using a cloth to cover your mouth.

 

There are more issues for sure but I don't want to spoil it for anyone wanting to see this in the theatre.  I really was disappointed with the way they told this story because it could have been more cerebral if they were going for it.  But it felt like they are just taking the easy path to a dumb conclusion and setup for 28 months later.  (That one I might not make it too)

Repeating missions in Saints Row S**ks!

I finally finished the Vice Kings missions last night.  Let me just say that I suck at driving and avoiding cops.  Nothing worse than having to drive all the way back to the destination if you die in the mission.  Even worse if you are close to the end and then have to restart the mission.

How not to waste your time while playing Crackdown

So having completed Crackdown I figured I would go and try and get all of the hidden orbs I didn't find already.  So I looked up a map for the orbs and got to hunting.

When I finished the map I was missing about 13 orbs because some I couldn't find and I figured I had already gotten.  So I deleted my completed game and decided to start again from scratch and this time document all of the orbs I have collected.  Im about half way done at this point and have been keeping track of all the ones I've collected so far.

Surprisingly the game is still fun even though I've completed it once already.

People keep saying Crackdown is a GTA clone but I think its more Incredible Hulk
Crackdown may be an open sandbox game but after playing it I see more similarities to The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction.

Its Pinata Time!

I have been playing Viva Pinata for the past week now and I am thoroughly addicted.  But, if not for the online guides and such I would be completely lost on what to do.

I love the game so much that I actually went out and purchased the faceplate for my 360 yesterday, which is something I thought I would never do.

Here's to a few more late nights with my resident fourheads.
