Sup guys, it's been awhile, lets get underway.
Last night I got my confirmation email for the second beta test of my thanksgiving vacation, Warhammer Online: Wrath of Heroes. It sounded pretty cool when I first heard about it but still thought it was basically League of Legends warhammer edition.
I was wrong.
I watched a few gameplay videos like this great one by the guys over at MMOhut and confirmed that pretty quickly:
For a closed beta phase 3, I have little to say about the game that is in any way negative. I'll break it down from here.
Soundtrack: Yes I said soundtrack. Every other MOBA really just has some random ambiance to get drowned out by the ensuing carnage anyway. This, however, is not so in WoH. The soundtrack, like the game, is hardcore, heavy, and increasingly intensifying with the action of the game. They say you aren't supposed to notice a good soundtrack but as a fine admirer of many of them, this was a pleasant surprise.

Ok who is gonna play battlefield 3? looking for some people to play and vent with.
Once again, the epic sounding title...maybe it's a natural affinity of mine.
New Sig also ^^
Today we will be visiting the most recent and final installment(ACTUALLY a spinoff) of the Rise of nations franchise, Rise of Legends.
Released in 2006, Rise of Legends was one of the only RTS's and quite frankly one of the only GAMES to implement some hardcore steampunkism. It was actually well presented too and not just slapped in as if it was a fleeting attempt to break into that market, a bit smaller at the time than it now is(A subculture). Some nice presentations of the art style of the game are prominent in these covers:
The game plays much like your standard RTS- fans of such games as the older Rise of Nations style pseudo-civ gameplay as well more streamlined styles such as command and conquer and dawn of war can get in on the action this game provides, seamlessly integrating elements of a turn based strategy, Civ, and RTS into one gameplay mode for a truly u ...

WADDUP LAIBACH!!! l
CHECK THIS SHIT OUT \/
Know what this shit is? It's taken from the Official InfiniteRasa test server.
That's right, Tabula rasa is ALMOST BACK! the test server is accessible after a fair bit of dicking around with SQL's and databases and the like, you can get on , create a character, and take a walk around memory lane/an empty starting zone. It was nice , but likewise eerie... no NPC's.. god damn Im on too much.
Anyway, you can equip items and open a footlocker but right now it is still pretty under- development.
yeah, I did that.
and showed up in that :P
Anyway, PLEASE come check out the community at www.infiniterasa.com and pledge your support to the Rising Phoenix of MMO's. Lots of awesome people doing awesome work, and if you have any skills or resources to contribute- they can be utilized too.
See you on the battlefields of Foreas and Arieki soon! for now, enjoy this last smouldering bane dropship.

BRINK.... where do I begin? Perhaps with my loss of hope for the shooter franchise post bad company 2? Nah- Ill just start with Tuesday, May 10th, when I picked up my preorder of this really innovative game.
I booked home, not till about 930pm of course, and started installing this game RIGHT away. I fired it up and was already awed at the amount of things I could do with my character at level one. After choosing security or resistance for your initial selection(it is a shooter, not an MMO so you are NOT locked in to this choice- its really just the decider of what intro movie you view and see your character as first) you can commence character customization, both of your character and your weapons- enjoy some screenshots.
An especial Thank you goes out to Lord Einheit for the Psycho Pack only available for preordering- one of the 4 exclusive things was the Soda can Suppressor, seen above on Angel, My CARB-9 Submachine gun.

Idk why that title sounds that good.... whatever, let us begin!!
The series of the entry this fine evening is, you guessed it, homeworld!
homeworld is a series of true-3D space RTS experiences. Known for their exquisite graphics engines(for their appropriate times and system requirements) and storyline that actually resembles something to be classified as such(not common at the times for an RTS), These are truly some of the most well done RTS's I have played to this day. Marketing was not a huge priority for Relic/Sierra at the time, so it really is the "unsung hero" of the RTS franchise.
Released on september 28 1999, Homeworld stormed the RTS markets. As the first true 3D strategy game, and by 3D I mean not only its beautiful graphics, but literal 6 degree movement planes. Not only could ships move forward and sideways but also above and below their current position via holding shift and dragging the movement cursor accordingly. This was the first time such ...

excuse the pun above, however epic.
Today friends, we are finally discussing our first RTS: The warhammer 40000:dawn of war franchise.
Based on the warhammer 40000 tabletop game which first manifested in 1976, in which players maintain an army of pewter miniatures and pit them against other players in visceral combat in a universe of constant warfare(more on Tabletop Wargaming to come), Dawn of War assumed a huge role.
Released september 20, 2004 by Relic Entertainment, the original game both shattered the idea of an RTS at that time AND assumed its position as the first decent recognized warhammer 40000 video game(the franchise will never admit any relation to Fire Warrior, so dont ask). The game was essentially the first to streamline the control point system: A new way of gathering resources in which the players had to capture designated areas throughout the combat zone which would generate varying levels of resources, pictured here: ...

In life, many people go through their days thinking about things such as... "Damn, that dude is a horrible driver", or "Damn, that lady is fat", but most people just keep to themselves. MOST keep to themselves, most being the keyword. Thats why i want to start this here "blog", if you will, and basically give people not only MY, but ALOT of peoples opinions on this subject. Many people may find some of the stuff i have to say discriminating, crude, bland, or just straight distasteless and if your one of those people who easily get offended i suggest you stop reading now. Sure you may harp on me about the simple ideoligies of life, but granted, its mostely opinionated and even true. My plan here is, every week, to get a topic and then share with this here community about it. So before further do, here is one of my favorite, but also a very touchy subject....
Woman In Todays Society:
Now most of you are either facepalming or just rolling your eyes, but this is a serious subject. Let me start out with the ...
