BREWTALITY Update

I added a new layout for the site.  Looking at some Gallery2 themes or plug-ins to use light box instead of the, now, clucking interface that it uses.  It was a perfect thing for a long time but so much has come since I started using it, I just don’t want to convert things, so if I can figure out a nice clean easy way to do it, I’ll stick with G2 otherwise I guess I’ll look at a gallery conversion at the end of the year.

Beyond that… nothin’ new other than Call of Duty: Black Ops and all the lost hours I have in it the past few weeks! :D

Looking forward to it! Winter 2010 baby!


Hail To The King, Baby!!

w00t!  Sometime in 2011 it will finally be a reality!  Apparently it was nearly finished and Gearbox is porting it to the Xbox 360 and PS3 as well as doing some finishing touches.  Is it true? Can it be real? Pinch me!  Not only that but I love reading that a PC game is being ported rather than the other way around!  I only hope that you don’t play a good game only to have it looked rushed towards the end levels.  Either way, I’ll be playing the moment it’s available, I’ve been waiting for 13 FREAKIN’ years! :)

The news is a few weeks old but I finally remembered to post it… :P   Read more at Duke Nukem Forever‘s official site.


Bad Company 2 WTFs

I don’t get the players half the time in this game anymore.  It seemed at the beginning that people played as a team, took the shots together and got the job done.  Now it seems that everyone wants to preserve their KDR and could give a shit about wins in both Conquest and Rush.  Panama Canal is a good example, you have 4 players on your team, you take a tank out and no one ever spawns in the tank, well that is unless you’re about to take a point and then it fills up and immediately empties when the point is taken.   Half the freakin’ team is snipers at this point in a lot of games that could care less if we take a point or not as long as they finish with a good score.   After the game they seem to pat themselves on the back as if they were the single thing that won a game and if not, it’s complete silence or “my team sucks”.

The game is set up so well for team play, unlike MW2, and yet they play it like MW2, forgetting that there is an objective to this game. that isn’t won by a KDR.  I’m only assuming, but thinking, that a lot of MW2 players have migrated as MW2 has grown old and they’re looking for something new to play and completely disregarding that THIS GAME is team and objective based.

Just getting really tired of joining a squad and finding that my 3 teammates are all snipers or like being a camping engineer with a Gustav.  I blame EA/DICE only for the freakin’ run and gun that seems to exist with the sniper kit.

Wolfenstein

I finished up Half-Life 2, Episode 2 this past weekend and started on Wolfenstein.  I have to say that I’m impressed by it so far and surprised that it didn’t get much fanfare.  I’m probably 1/3 of the way through and I’ve had a lot of fun with the balance of Nazi and paranormal.  I remember 3D went straight from being a WWII shooter to weird crap and didn’t seem to teeter back and forth, where this has, at least better than it’s predecessor.   I just completed the Church mission and you keep rather busy, especially when you’re suppose to be looking for gold and intel.  I did well on the dig site but not so well with the church on getting the bonuses.  But that’s fine, I’m having fun with this game and while a few things irritate me (like losing gold/intel after dying) it’s been a lot more enjoyable than I thought and I wish I would have played it when it released.  I have a few vids that I’ll probably post at some point as well.  One of them was a quick run through using some of the veil powers and making quick time with the Nazi’s. :)

Until next time….
