Chaos Theory

April 7, 2005

I am now the proud owner of SC: Chaos Theory. Expect to make a habit out of killing me in embarassing ways any day now.

The First Woman of gaming is making her way back to the gaming world. Tomb Raider: Legends is in development, hoping to pick up the fledging series. When I say fledging, I really mean terrible. Its harder to impress audiences now a days then creating a hot piece of CG, and utilizing 3D to do some platforming, so I expect the development team to reach down deep and try to break some ground.

I for one hope they take their time, get the game right. How many people are screaming for another Tomb Raider? That should give them leeway to create a game and not be rushed, patience is a virtue and well appreciated in gaming. Lara is getting another make over but looks pretty damn good.

Happy Anniversary

Many of you are probably unaware and may not even care but today is the day that Dots and I celebrate 2 chaotic years of marriage. 2 down, infinity to go.

New Avatar

April 4, 2005

You should now notice that Pretzel has a new avatar. His old avatar was based on the Panamanian drug lord look which couldn’t be further from the way he actually looks. This new avatar is almost frighteningly close to what he really looks like. Feel free to give him a hard time now.

ACTION!!

Just read an update from Peter Molyneux’s next game titled “The Movies”. Being a movie lover and somewhat of a semi-indi filmmaker , this new game should really change things a bit in the industry. You can literally create any type of film, with any type of story you want. They are also talking about letting famous film festivals accept entries from “The Movies”. The screenshots look very cool! Anything that allows you to build a small time extra into a huge star is also very cool. One thing that took me by surprise is being able to import a picture of yourself and having “The Movies” mapping it into a character. This is not a game that will play like The Sims with all the management of taking care of each individual person. You manage your studio and your films. The Movies is slated to be released in August.

In other news, Battlefield 2 is upon us, so the crew is gearing up for some really intense gaming. Upgrade your rigs guys, this game is going to be awesome.
