So it would appear I have taken control of Digital Chaos Media for my own. The power is making me crazy…
You know what else makes me crazy? When I get a new videogame and I can’t withstand the impulse to immediately search the internet for hints, tips, tricks, and cheats. Luckily for me, there are no lack of sites that cater to people like me. I am willing to admit that I am a cheater. Not always, but sometimes, and especially when it is necessary (LucasArts, The Dig, crazy color button puzzle, I am looking in your direction…). Sometimes I don’t cheat when others always do (GTAIV, story mode, I don’t see the point, the game is that easy) I am a sucker for a walkthrough (Zak Mcracken and the Alien Mindbenders, Maniac Mansion) but I never cheat when it involves hardware (Halo modders are assholes) So when I am looking for a little info on a game, maybe pre-release, some forum chatter, or just a little thing we call invincibility code, I check out GameFaqs.
For this thumbs up I can’t quite see if he even has any fingers, but I imagine he is giving me the thumbs up for entering the most memorable cheat code of all time.
So there is Bill (or is it Lance) giving it up for Gamefaqs.com!
So I came across this website today, not all that surprising considering I am constantly searching for the best and brightest for posts here at Digital Chaos Media, called www.top10series.com. Now this website could be any number of listing sites. You could be thinking “Does it list the top 10 hottest models?”, or maybe “I bet it lists the top 10 restaurants in New York, I mean, come on, this IS Von Heezy.”The answer however is not either of those, but rather my other favorite pastime. Halo of course! The newest ranks the top 10 splatters in Halo 3 according to Vigga their website. A splatter, for n00bs our non-halo 3 playing readers, is when you run someone over with a vehicle in the game, but sometimes the hilarious non-driven object can splatter you as well. We here at DCM are avid Halo 3 in-game drivers, so I take special pleasure in presenting after the break: Top 10 Halo 3 Splatters: Episode 12
P.S. Please come back soon to read about the New XBOX Live Experience (NXE) which yours truly, Von Heezy, has been afforded a special preview.
So we here at DCM are avid gamers (well not all of us, but most of us) and can often be found on Xbox LIVE fragging and lagging and bragging. There are a ton of new games coming out this fall, such as the new Guitar Hero that Vigga is so anxiously awaiting, Gears of War 2, Fallout 3, and Call of Duty: World at War. There are others however that you have to wonder about. I mean I love Mortal Kombat (Get over here!) and I love DC comics (except for that new Superman movie, that shit was whack), but did I really need a crossover game…
I give you the trailer for Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe…
I’m as excited as anybody for the new Guitar Hero game to drop - it’s a game that I can actually play with my girlfriend, as opposed to say Halo, where she runs around alternately looking at the sky and the ground, spraying off rounds at her own feet and being murdered 25 times without killing anybody. So I’m trying to get my girlfriend hooked on video games, I’m a nerd, but whatever, watch the video. It’s no Kobe, but I think it works:
And, for the record, I would wreck Heidi Klum at Guitar Hero. Or Seal. I bet Seal sucks at video games. What a loser that guy is.
Well guys, halloween is just around the corner and normally I am the first one to run the comfort of my house, throw the ole xbox on overdrive and laugh as the little trick or treaters ring my doorbell and wait, wondering what the smell wafting from under the door is, only to have their parents drag them away as they begin to feel light headed. This year however I may have to join the rank and file as I found this costume online today. For only a little under $700.00 US I could be gallavanting around the city in an authentic Master Chief costume and possibly fufilling my fantasy of bumping uglies with a Sarah Palin outfitted co-ed with a plasma pistol in one hand and a candy apple in the other.
While this probably won’t happen I am still shocked at what people will pay for a costume that they will probably only wear one freakin day of the year (unless they are some kind of halo freak who goes to those E3 conferences…weirdos). Whats the big deal with this made up holiday anyway? Valentine’s day gets a bad rap for being overly commercial. Christmas has lost all of its religious signifigance. Yet Halloween is still loved by many and disparaged by few.
Well unless someone buys me this costume, I think it is safe to say you will find me ordering take out chinese, curling up with my new R.L. Stine Goosebumps book, and waiting for November 1st.
As some of you may know, former Knick Allan Houston is attempting to make a triumphant return to the National Basketball Association.This of course means he will make a highly anticipated return to NBA video games. As you can see from the clip posted above (sorry for the poor quality), Houston’s one last shot at glory has already taken a turn for the worse.Perhaps this is one programmer/Knicks fan’s way of lashing out at Houston for the millions he set the Knicks back or their inability to pull through in the playoffs during his tenure.I can see the developer now, tucked away in a cubicle lined with a plethora of Red Bull, Butterfinger and anime posters, laughing to himself as Houston’s pixels spread across the screen, making it nearly impossible to play with him in NBA Live ‘09. Maybe the XBOX does not have the processing power to comprehend why Houston is back let alone why anyone would actually put him in a game.Either way, this is not a good sign for this year’s comeback kid.I will put the over under on his playing time at 200 minutes, anything more than that and the wheels will fall off.
