Knights of the Old Republic online?

No penis, I don't want you to get awake like that right now. Yes, I know it's good news but down boy!

Getting back to basics with Company of Heroes

Company of Heroes reminds me why I like playing games. While I normally prefer the FPS venue, a simple and violent RTS can also help as well. Since CoH involves curb stomping Nazis then that is just icing on the cake.

Wermacht just get in the way of the real bastards of Waffen SS though. But hey, they all wear those gray/black uniforms and they're German so game on!

Rolling 10 Sherman tanks with artillery support all through the rear support units then pouncing on the enemy tanks is exciting. Graphics are top notch for an isometric RTS and watching Nazi bodies get turned into bloody stumps and then tossed 10 feet in the air is always a very good thing.

Basically what I'm saying is that shooting Nazis is a great pleasure. Although I am upset that the recently announced expansion of CoH doesn't include an Eastern Front campaign.

Oh god imagine THAT carnage, Russian barracks pumping out peasant soldiers and T-34s with a random number generator determining if the Russian foot soldiers have guns or not (maybe, maybe not). I would so eat that game up then proceed to eat the box it came in just to make sure I'm getting everything out of the game, including my daily allowance of fiber.

A slight uptick in PC gaming

I don't have much to say about this article regarding the uptick in gaming except that it highlights Quake Wars which should hopefully lead to more buzz for the game which means more sold (and therefore a further uptick in PC gaming) which means more people to play with and eventually teabag.

Anyway, don't even try blame the software sellers with this problem because they relegate the PC games to a distant shelf. Why should they feature them prominently when the PC gaming market has declined or been stagnant until recently? Make games that sell well and they'll give them frontage.

Also, the PC sales didn't include thing like online purchasing, something I've been using more as I'm sure a lot of other people have been doing. Anyway, rant done, go forth folks.

Oh come on Computer and Video Games!

Surely you jokers can make up better questions than this when you take up Paul W's time for interviewing him.

How much depth has gone into the vehicles?
Do you all live in a bubble? They've answered this about a dozen times. Vehicles are diverse for both teams. Heck, just looking at the Quake Wars website it seems to be that the Strogg have what appear to be lumbering beasts with an almost animalistic influence (insects mostly) that can switch from movement to siege mode. The Earth forces have a much more mobile force allowing for more rapid mobility along with transports for moving a lot of people quick if the need arises.

Dang CVG get with it and bring the thunder in your interviews.

More blahs

I'm sorry this isn't the most entertaining blog ever and I have shitty title names. Anyway, I tried to get my questions answered about Quake Wars but pretty much hit a big nada like the Texas Rangers. No big deal, I'm sure the Splash boys and girls are busy doing their thing. I do appreciate their public relations guy pointing me in the right direction though. Found out he lives around near me somewhere.

There's an offer on Fileplanet that if you sign up for their Fileplanet service you can get in line with 50,000 of your closest friends to possibly maybe download the Quake Wars demo if you are one of the chosen ones or something. Personally, I'll keep my seven bucks. I'm anxious for this game but I won't stoop that low to PAY to play a demo. A demo should be free. I'm sure this idea comes from the Activision and Gamespy group and not Splash.

On an unrelated note my buddy Maulf and I are still trying to get our shit together to play Company of Heroes. Ebay can be a pain the ass sometimes and now it is denying us our ability eviscerate Nazis. Being denied such a duty saddens me.
