Yes people, I is MW2-less. You can stop snickering now.

Since we’ve all been busy with the house stuff (have I mention that I hate moving?), gaming for me has been reduced to at most 20 minutes of Fallout a day. AT MOST! What the heck can I do in 20 minutes? I can’t even finish one round of looting and selling…Yes, cry for me please, because my tears are spent.

Plus, we’re trying to save up for renovation funds, so naturally, game buying is a nono. The last game I bought (well my sister bought) was Bishock and Ghost Recon. (which happened to be my first on-topic post hahahahaha(then again, what is the topic?)

So it really makes me mad when EVERYWHERE on the internet, people are talking about Modern Warfare 2. Gamespot(duh), Gamercast Network, Destructoid, Kotaku, Gizmodo, even on the many podcasts I listen to! It’s EVERYWHERE. There is nowhere to hide form this topic. Like when MJ passed away (may he rest in peace), it’s just sad.

Meh so this is just me ranting…I will get it when it becomes cheaper, seeing that I still have 50 more hours of Fallout 3 left. Plus Bioshock to be played. Or I can suffice with COD4 with my Mac. Many ways to REMIND MYSELF THAT I’M NOT PLAYING MODERN WARFARE 2 LIKE ALL THE OTHER COOL KIDS.

End of sad Post.

EDIT: Another two news feeds about MW2 from Kotaku right after I posted this. SPARE ME, INTERNETZ!!

Not polygons and Maya 3D, but BLOW UP IN YOUR FACE HOLY SHIT 3D.

Anyhoo.

Nvidia came up with this 3D bundle thing that allows you to play your PC games in 3D. The system supports almost every PC game you would need to play (Resident Evil 5 in 3D! Imagine the Majini’s blood splattering out towards you when you shoot it! Oh joy!), which can be found here.

But the point is, over at The Vault, which quoted an article from Gamesradar, it states that of all the games in 3D, Fallout 3 performed the best. Way to go, my love~! Here’s the excerpt (which contains an excerpt. Funny how life turns out, doesn’t it?):

According to GamesRadar, there’s a new peripheral called Nvidia 3D Vision. This makes images for both your left and right eye respectively so when you wear the glasses, it makes it 3D. There were three games tested by GamesRadar: Resident Evil 5, Left 4 Dead and Fallout 3. Here’s an excerpt:

“	Out of the games we sampled, we liked Fallout 3 the best. As with the other games we played, 3D Vision makes the little details stand out. And when it comes to detailed worlds, they don’t get much better than Fallout 3; the wasteland never looked this good. The added depth also makes your Pip-Boy really “pop.” Scrolling through your stats and picking out your perks feels great in 3D. But of course, it’s the Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System (or V.A.T.S.) that really makes Fallout 3 shine in 3D. Nailing Super Mutants with headshots as the camera zooms in makes the already gorgeously gory game look even more impressive.	”

It runs at a hefty price, $199 USD and includes the following:

• Wireless glasses
• IR emitter
• DVI-to-HDMI cable
• Two USB cables
• VESA 3-pin Stereo Cable
• Interchangeable nosepieces
• A cleaning pouch and cloth for your fancy new glasses.

Just reading it makes my fingers itch. And my toes. And my back. Gawd I think I’m having an allergic reaction. TO AWESOMENESS THAT IS! This make me wanna commit infidelity to my Mac. I need a gaming PC dammit! And money! And a cheeseburger. Gawd I’m hungry right now.

Just like Fallout 3!

I’m just too in love with Fallout 3 that I can’t associate anything else with the 1950s.

Anyhoo, a “Knowing” scenario. “Kids, imagine what the future’s gonna look like!” In this case, the future kitchen. By the fridge making company, not some psychic little school girl.

I have to admit, the people from the 1950s were pretty imaginative. A Lazy Susan fridge? That’s cool! We still don’t have that!! C’mon you young inventors out there, you could probably make some money off this idea. Yea I’m throwing that out there. I don’t want the money, I just want to be able to reach in the fridge, spin around till I see my stock of chocolate bars and get them without spilling last night’s leftover soup.

But what happened to 2001: A Space Odyssey? 2001’s almost a decade ago and where’s my murderous crazy AI computer hmmm? HMM?

with thanks to my lovely sister the sponsor.

This is the story:

So today, my sister and I went out and paid a little visit to the game store we have not visited in a while. We got all our PS3 games there. Heck, I think we’ve even got our PS3 console there. Anyhoo, today we went and for some weird reason the store was superbly crowded, especially around the PS3 games section. We maneuvered our way through the crowd to a nice spot where we can see most of the titles, and then we started to try and decide which one to get. The game on the top of my list was Batman Arkham Asylum because, man, the whole internet is crazy over it and I know I HAD to get the game! But it’s a freakin 79 bucks, so screw that, it can wait. And Uncharted 2 was the thing-to-get for some reason, even saw a guy having this conversation with the store person about them not having a copy of it when he wanted it blah blah blah etc. but I haven’t heard enough of the game to care, so that can wait to.

And then I saw Bioshock for 29 bucks. DING DING, here’s a funny story: On my last birthday, this really good friend of mine bought me a copy of Bioshock for PC. I was beyond thrilled, but I went home and tried to play it on my laptop and apparently the laptop couldn’t handle the awesomeness that disk contained, so it wouldn’t play. Months & months & months later, my laptop died and got replaced by a good old Mac Book Pro I bought secondhand from my cousin. Like the saying goes: Macbook Pros don’t run PC games. And so, that copy of the game never saw the sunlight again (Well, not counting those times when I took it out to drool over it.) DING DING, end of story. The moral of the story? My sister bought it. 29 bucks, that’s less than half of Batman, and I’m not even using a calculator.

Beside Bioshock, there’s the Orange Box that contained the game Portal which I had been wanting to play for a while; there’s Ghostbusters; there’s Assassin’s Creed, and then I saw Ghost Recon. Immediately it brought back memories of the time when my cousin and I rented it and it broke his PS3. Good times, good times.

So in the end, we got Ghost Recon and Bioshock. Two games richer, whoots! (30 hours of my life poorer – for bioshock at least). Now it’s between completion of Fallout 3 and the starting of the new games. To complete or begin, to complete or begin…that is the question.

I’ll think about it after I finish Fallout 3.
