PC vs. Console (5 comments)
Posted by G.I. Jonesy @ 05:08 CDT, 8 June 2011 - iMsg
Why people continue with this console madness, I do not know. The console cycle goes like this: new console comes out, all the console people measure the specs, the price and the launch-titles. Those are the factors that go into their approval or disappointment. With PC's, there is no 'new

The 3DS Failure (No comments)
Posted by G.I. Jonesy @ 01:50 CDT, 8 June 2011 - iMsg
Why do some people think the 3DS was such a disappointment? Because people are bored with the same old gaming platform. Because people consider all these new things, like 3D and motion-sensor wii-like gaming, to be nothing more than novelties and gimmicks. And you know what that means? It means, the

So apparently the web-browser comes without Flash or HTML5. That means, no web-video. It means the 3DS web-browser is a castrated bull. It's what the internet was like in 1996. It's what the web would be like, if net-neutrality was abolished, or the entire world was Chinese. Yes, it's

QuakeLive Addictivity - score system (2 comments)
Posted by cityy @ 05:01 CDT, 3 June 2011 - iMsg
These days, many games come with some kind of level system. Hitting good shots, having kill streaks and simular stuff gets you points that after some time make your player level raise. I think this is one of the main reasons for people to play games like Call Of Duty. Even in casual play there is so

Toxic says he doesn't like QL duel because of the maps. But why are the maps so shitty? Because of the timelimit. With such a short timelimit, it means, if you get behind, you have to either rush (making yourself vulnerable), or play defensive hide-and-seek to build up enough health and armo

Portable MMO's (No comments)

With a typical console-type controller, MMO's do not work well. With the 3DS's touch-screen, an MMO can work great. Let's take a specific example of how an MMO can work with the 3DS: Wizard 101. Now, if you've played this game (it is free to play), the game-mechanics are arranged

Alright. So we’ve had our four qualifiers, each with its own share of drama. We’ve had a live (or not) picking to decide who goes into what group and so jobless old me can now sit and break the groups down for all you people. And not only that I’m going to tell you who’s going to win all the money t

Think about it... you're on a road trip, in a vehicle of some kind, for 8 hours of driving a day. What does one do for such periods? Look out the window? Get truck-drivers to use their horns? Play eye spy or 20 questions? Or maybe, pop out a 3ds, with a 4g lte 30 ping connection and shed the ti

There are a lot of people who criticize the 3ds. They criticize 3d period. What are they really criticizing though? Are people forcing them to use 3d? No. Are people forcing them to buy the 3ds? No. Seems like, some people are so spoiled, nothing will make them happy. Unfortunately, many of those pe

The Problem With QL (11 comments)
Posted by G.I. Jonesy @ 20:19 CDT, 15 May 2011 - iMsg
To put it simply, the game is too difficult for new players. Did you start playing Guitar Hero on expert level? Did you start playing Zelda at the last boss? A game is too daunting to start at the end. You need to work your way up to that level, learning each part of the game little by little. Look

After using the 3ds for a while, I can better criticize 3d gaming. From what I can tell, it does not hurt your abilities. It either makes no difference, or might help. With 3d, you can better measure distance. I haven't tried any games from the first person persective yet. Maybe a boxing game c

A look ahead to CTF Draft 2011 (51 comments)

Since I was mildly jobless and lacked motivation to do anything actually productive, I decided to do a write-up on the upcoming CTF draft cup. This is primarily intended for the (nonexistent) Europeans and other miscellaneous organisms out there who might be interested in the cup and yet lack the ba

Introduction I just came back from The Ultimate Gamers Championship, the event organized by Alessandro "Stermy" Avallone. I though I was going there as Quaker enthusiast, to give a hand during the event. I had some expectations and hopes. It turned out, this would be the best Quake

So I got my 3DS today, and this thing is completely awesome.There aren't many games right now, but tons of great games are on their way. I'm not here to promote the 3DS though, i'm here to promote the possibility of QL in 3D (or, pro-gaming in general). With the 3DS, you have the o

Id software needs to stop dividing the maps. No one plays the premium maps. If you buy an account, you're paying for nothing. Look at every CA server, they never play anything but the shitty free maps. It's not because the pay maps are worse, it's because most people don't pay fo
