Portal 2 Opinion about Glados

Spoiler




You know, after playing Portal 1 you hate Glados and she's always discouraging you and trying to make you feel horrible about yourself. Then you play Portal 2 and it's like, oh hey some more discouragement, and then BAM! When you switch Glados and Wheatly I felt bad, she like screamed and stuff. Then the potato =P I thought that was really funny. Especially when we were falling after that part. "How are you holding up? Because I'm a potato." =D But I mean after beating the game you finally like Glados I suppose because it's more so Caroline you like as opposed to Glados. Glados doesn't completely become Caroline when a potato, but she's halfway there and it lets you see the soft and good side that actually wants to work with you. Instead of destroying you. Glados actually lets you go, even though as your leaving it looks like BAM turrets, game over, Portal 3 now. But nope, they start making music go figure. Weird song they made, but it was cool with the synchronization and everything. After seeing a bit of Caroline come back to Glados, it turned out I liked Glados by the end of Portal 2. Anyone else feel that? Sorry Wheatly for putting you in space =P Suppose greed can get to you. Well that's my opinion on Glados, thanks for reading.

Cya later.

Portal 2 Comments

Heya guys, just beat Portal 2 on PS3. Which also means I have it for the PC and can play it in fact. If anyone is interested in playing coop with me feel free to ask. For anyone whose stuck on the campaign there are tons of walk throughs on the internet if you search in google, had to find them for a friend. =P A couple parts got me really confused though. The game is definitely very fun and I would recommend playing Portal 1 first to follow up with the plot. You can play Portal 2 though and get kind of an idea of what Portal 1 was like in the first quarter of the game or so. Nice twist midway in the game, you can get attached to the characters, I liked the soundtrack a lot personally. As I was playing this a few times I thought about how a game that is just a ton of puzzles and makes you really think is somehow fun. The single player campaign and coop campaign are separate so they're their own thing. Play with a friend or find some online, it's definitely worth playing. Pick it up at Gamestop or on Steam. Nifty little thing is PS3 players can play with PC players for coop. Not sure if 360 works to PC as well. Well that's just some of my comments without ruining anything in the game. =]

Colony of War Blog/Review

Colony of War

Heya everyone, I played Colony of War in the technical beta personally under the name snakester95. I practically owned a union called Union of Hearts for anyone who may of known me, we made it to the 10th rank. Currently I'm playing in the open beta, leading my union Ravens. We're ranked 3rd right now with a 100 or 200 population lead. The game is fun at first, space is definitely a fun part, but after a while construction, research, and unit production becomes enormous time lengths. Which is something various browser games like this are known for, but the time lengths definitely hold you back a lot. Personally, I may only play a couple more weeks, considering in a week some of my buildings may take three days to finish and it wouldn't surprise me. As the game has only been out 10 - 13 days, it still has some bugs here and there and is being worked on. If you've played Evony, I would say it's very much like that in the Colony area. But then there's the space, but once you get into space you'll learn you should party up with people for most killing quests and the rest of the time doing five 2hr harvests throughout the day. So basically it's a big waiting game and if you're a weaker player as to your army, once your 7 day peacetime is up, there are people who may farm you for resources. Anti-matter and sol are resources many players will attack your colony for as you can't get it from many different sources. Currently in the game I've been attacked multiple times by the same player as I just passed his union in the ranks, so he's farming me basically. Part of the game is unfortunately very unbalanced due to nCash users, making this a buy to win. It may be less as bad in the future though. Right now my Colony Hall is upgrading to level 11 which I think I have four hours left and total it was a 21 hour wait. My research is currently only 1hr as opposed to my usual 12 hour one. Often I've got a 1 - 3 hour wait for making my armies which is lovely. Then while all this is going on I get to go and do 2hr harvests. The game is very fun and you'll have to rely on the community for certain times of boredom. What is going to probably get me to leave soon enough, is in a way the grinding of the game. The constant wait time of doing absolutely nothing. It's like alright, lets start my construction, research, army building, harvest, and then come back in maybe two hours for another harvest, or come back tomorrow and just check into the game once a day to do daily quests and those things. Therefore it's going to get boring quick.

Cya later. =]

Hello FFR

http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/
http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/~velocity/

It's been a while my good friend. For anyone who played FFR a long time back you'd know the website crashed, I believe it was because the owner didn't pay for the site anymore. But regardless my brother and I used to play it 6.15 years ago apparently. Noticed it back like a month ago and started playing it again. Got home from somewhere like an hour ago and played FFR for an hour getting in a good 41 games and a nice amount of score. I'm no pro, but I can do I suppose like 6 difficulty and some higher. My brother is better at it without a doubt. My name there surprisingly is Snakester95 and my brother's is RyMan91. Basically for anyone who doesn't know what FFR is, by the way when I saw FFR I mean flash flash revolution. Flash Flash Revolution is pretty much Dance Dance Revolution but with the arrow keys. Arrows go up the screen from the bottom and you have to press each arrow in rhythm with the arrows as they reach the top. They have tons of different difficulty songs for those of you who aren't good and tons of difficult songs that you will probably never be able to do. There are tons of different categories of music and you can try to compete on the leader boards. So it's easy to find new and cool songs based on your interest, find songs based on your skill, and overall have fun. Should go check it out for sure.

"ZitS the Saviour - act1" - NG Flash

ZitS the Saviour - act1

Heya guys, just played this flash real quick. It wasn't anything too interesting, but it was kind of fun. Hence Act 1 it's kind of small, but it's a top down zombie shooter game with a plot. You start out in a helicopter as a man named Jim and you'd like to go find your family but the army tells you that either you work with them and help them find their General that's gone missing or they won't give you any equipment and will drop you off with no help at all and pretty much put you on your own. For the most part you'd be screwed. So you say yes and figure you may come across your family while looking. In act1 you save a couple people, but for the most part are focusing on finding your family. Play through and you'll see what happens, it's a bit fun, but it's also a bit repetitive in each building pretty much the same thing. And as many games are, if you want the bonuses you have to go completely out of your way spending time to get that extra experience so you can upgrade your skills. Which can significantly help I'll admit. By the end of the game I was one hitting everyone and getting head shots like 1/3 of my kills. Maybe better than that. The game is a bit laggy on aiming regardless of quality or hardware. Another thing that bothered me, after completing an area you're back at the helicopter but have a mini-gun in the chopper and lay down fire on tons of zombies. Probably like 50 or so. You can use the ammo wisely and kill all the zombies but when they drop you off in the street there's over 50 zombies back in the street. It gets your kill count up to give you the 1 exp per 100 kills, but regardless it's a little stupid. Also if you don't use up all your ammo the chopper won't land, even if you have killed them all. So you have to empty the rest of it still go figure. Otherwise the game was a tad interesting and I'm looking forward to Act 2.
PS: The dog dies.
PSS: There actually isn't a dog.
PSSS: Or is there?
PSSSS: That's a lot of s's.

Thanks for reading guys, cya later.

Colony of Wars - Browser Game

Colony of War Home Page!

This game is finishing up it's closed beta run on the 18th, so there's only a few days left. It's closed beta, but if you go to the site and register, you'll get in. Go figure, I don't get it either. There are codes for it but the codes just give you like a starter package in the so called open beta. I don't believe there's a date for it yet, but it should be soon after this ends. Well anyway, Colony of War, it's a MMORPG browser game where you can easily connect by making a NetGame account or joining through Facebook. I mean you can make an account on anything nowadays if you have a Facebook, you know it's true. I started playing this game a few days back, I think Sunday when it started out. If you've played Evony, it's similar to half of this game. Half of the game is played in your colony where you learn the layout is extremely similar to Evony but different in small ways. The other half is where things get interesting, upon reaching level 5 you can create a "Unit" more simply known as a robot and you can pilot it into space. Go to 0:34 and 1:25 of this video to see part of the moving around in the game: Teh Video. With your unit you're able to move around outside your Colony/City which is part of a station. Pretty much the size goes Galaxy/Zone -> Space -> Station -> Colony. Colonies are player owned and are connected to a station where you can buy various things and an auction house deal is. Anyway, you can leave your colony and go into space and do quests such as go kill five of these or ten of that and get this item off of them. Considering there aren't as many quests currently it may jump from an easy quest to a hard one where you can't do it alone. But wait! Parties, oh mah gawd. Yeah, parties make things interesting, you can have up to I think five people in a party including yourself. Myself I've been helping out other players with most of the space fighting quests, people talk frequently in parties, it makes everyone able to help each other on quests, and allows you to get to knowing new people. Nobody wants to play alone in an MMORPG, massively multiplayer online. Hence the name =P Perhaps join a union(guild) and get to know your small group of friends and talk amongst yourself away from the public chat which can be nice as well. I don't own my Union but the leader isn't doing much and I might as well own it, but anyway, I've been helping people and talking to people in my union quite often. It makes things interesting for wait times and just while you're screwing around or if you have a question. So for the space portion as you need to be certain levels to enjoy certain parts of it, so far I've been killing tons of mobs with people and helping them with their quests. As well as an interesting thing called Harvesting. Which you can do five times a day. You can find asteroids that are always there and each time you do it currently it has like four different passages they'll tell you, you answer how you'll react to the situation, and then you can choose a time period ranging from five minutes to two hours where you'll gain a load of experience and pretty much gather resources depending on the type of asteroid. This is a good thing to do when you get off for an hour or two while waiting on a building. It brings in loads of experience for sure. Hmm.. I've found the game to be relatively fun, I'll be on during the rest of the Closed Beta and the Open Beta when it arrives. I'm currently snakester95 and am part of the Union of Hearts in the top 10. When the Open Beta arrives, I'll be back to my old clan name, Ravens. Make sure to keep an eye out for me. I'll be making a stand there for sure. Give it a look, even if you make an account for 10 or 20 minutes. Check it out and if you don't like it then at least you'll be able to trash talk it and know what you're talking about. If you like it, then wonderful, I hope you enjoy it for sure. This article is just a blog/review I'm writing and kind of just me rambling as you can see. =D Alright thanks for reading guys.. erm.. girls too, if they exist.

Battle LA Minigame

http://www.youtube.com/battlelamovie

Go to the page, then click the "Play the game" tab and you'll be able to play the game. It's a quick and easy FPS defender. I didn't actually die so I wouldn't say it's hard. Pretty much, shoot robots, seven waves, a new gun each wave. After each wave they give you a score based on who knows what. You can move left to right and hit space to crouch. There's one concrete barricade you can hide behind for cover if your health gets low or to prevent it. This game is relatively easy. They know so well how to make the final wave challenging. Pretty much they give you a weapon that targets every robot on the screen, give or take five at a time. And shoot them with a rocket that takes maybe 2-3 seconds to hit them and massacre them. Yeah, this invasion will be really tough as you can see. Anyway, I came across the game because I saw the advertisement for the trailer on the youtube front page. Went to the trailer, came across the game, figured what the heck. Saw that you got a weapon each round and that there were seven weapons and figured seven rounds. So easy enough, played it, beat it. 38,750 as a score. If you get something different be sure to tell me, I'm lazy to play through it again to see if everyone gets the same score or not. I doubt you do, but who knows. My final rank was Colonel, curious if you can get higher ranks or not as well. Well that's just my quick little run through of the mini game. Little thing to promote the movie I suppose. Well anyway, I shall see you in my next post.
