  • New TV – 3D games, here I come!

    I needed a smallish TV for my bedroom, but when I saw a good deal on a Vizio 42″ 3D TV at Costco, I had to buy it. I didn’t think I really NEEDED a 3D TV, but it had all the other features I wanted, so I got it. I hooked a PS3 and…

  • Trying out Nier for PS3

    A friend loaned me Nier for PS3 since he had just achieved all the trophies and liked the game. Since I love RPGs, he suggested I check it out. I have mixed feelings about Nier. I think I could really like it, but it didn’t grab me so hard in the first hour or so…

  • Burnout Paradise sale on PSN

    PSN has a sale on Burnout Paradise for PS3 along with some addons for $7.99. Not sure when it ends, but I like Burnout Paradise enough that I bought it. If you don’t have Burnout Paradise, check it out – good fun!

  • Take a look at ggamdori’s Uncharted 3 beta multiplayer movies

    My friend ggamdori has posted a number of movies showing the Uncharted 3 beta multiplayer game features. Take a look at his YouTube page. I will link to one of his popular videos below, but take a look at all of them! Uncharted 3 looks like good fun!

  • Sony PS3 updates stink

    I haven’t written in a while because I’ve been very busy with work. I haven’t not been playing games, however. In fact, LOTRO has been taking my all my minuscule free time. But more on that later. This weekend, I decided I want to check out Assassins Creed Brotherhood, which I’ve had since about when it…

  • Too many games!

    Gosh, it’s a real problem that I have too many games to play and not enough time. Lord of the Rings Online had a recent update that fixed Lore Masters a bit and made positive changes to crafting. I’m really enjoying LOTRO! But now, Star Trek Online has put out the Season 3 update, so…

  • Too Many Games, Not Enough Time

    While I have spent what little free time I’ve had lately enjoying Star Trek Online‘s great Weekly Episodes and Lord of the Rings Online‘s vast virtual world (and skirmishes), I have acquired or ordered some new games that I don’t know when I will have time to play. I bought Alan Wake a week or…

  • Gaming Video Capture

    There are lots of people, including me, that post gaming videos on YouTube. The trick is to figure out how to capture the video. On a PC, we can use utilities like FRAPS to capture frames and make a movie from it. This works, but burdens the system a bit while you are playing the…

  • Star Ocean Plot

    I’m still really enjoying the battles and exploration of Star Ocean:The Last Hope. I was also getting into the plot, thinking how imaginative and interesting it was, until last night when the plot took a right turn to reality. Whichever game designer thought up this moronic scheme to deny the SRF existed is severely stretching…
