Q's blog

This is a warning to all those who would download and play the Madden demo, DON'T DO IT!  Save your HD room for something else, anything else!  I downloaded and played it last night and was shocked that a demo of a released game could be so bad.  Aren't demos supposed to help convince players to go and get the full game after playing?  Aren't they supposed to whet your appetite with a taste of something so fun you can suddenly feel the weight of the money in your wallet and get you to immediatelly relieve yourself of that excess burde

There seems to be a lot of thoughts and opinions swirling around the whole DLC pricing issue at the moment.  I stated a bit of mine in the post below but I would like to delve a bit deeper into this as I really feel it is the beginning of a disturbing trend in the console arena.  I don't really have the time at the moment but I'm working on getting my thoughts into a coherent rambling and will put them into print later. 

What are your thoughts on DLC?  Good, bad, indifferent?

Micro -

1. very small; especially : MICROSCOPIC
2. involving minute quantities or variations

This is the definition that is listed in the Merriam-Webster dictionary and I guess that's what those crazy Chromehounders at From Software (or maybe it was their pub Sega) read when they priced their recent DLC for the game.  For those of you that aren't aware already the premium DLC that is up has a pretty heafty pricetag on it, IMO.

Have you ever noticed how little time it takes for your H2 skills to start sucking?  Well, for me it is obviously just a couple of weeks.  Last night was the first time I had played in a while and, man, did I suck some hind tit.  I have been a hardcore H2 player since the release on that cold November night (I was at the midnight release with my folding chair and thermos of coffee like a true geek).  Hell, I didn't even get broadband until a few week before the launch and the only reason I got it was so I could play H2 when it came out (and for the porn...dial-up porn is so 90s).  Lately, thou

No, not like that. Get your minds out of the gutter (although I actually am a BIG man ). I'm actually talking about the fact that I can admit when I'm wrong.

You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have...


No, not the facts of life but rather the perfectly evil entity that is Microsoft (hereafter to be referred to M$).  There is no other company in the world that I have such a love/hate relationship with.  I am a huge fan of the Xbox and the 360 and consider M$ to be an extremely good game company.  The XBLA is a wonderful idea that is really starting to blossom and is going to get even better over the next few months.

There are times when I just can't stand myself and now is one of them.  After all of my protesting and soapbox lecturing about this subject to anyone who would listen, or at least stare at me blankly while I ranted, I find myself consdering the unthinkable.  I am actually considering getting Madden 07.

To my fellow adult gamer, clan brother, and friend BioSlayer for the incredible help with the blog pics. I asked for help and within a few hours he had pics for me to look at and after a few additional requests on my part you are looking at the final products. I think they kick ass and are exactly what I was looking for. You're Halo 2 skills (which are near pro level) are only surpassed by your creativity and good heart.

Some of you may remember me but most of you probably don't have a clue as to who I am or why the hell you should care. Well, honestly, there really is no reason to care. However that won't stop me from acting like this is a big comeback and announcing that I'm going to start my blog once again.
