Project Time

Edit: Screw this, I'm using GameMaker.

      Since I have all of this free time, I have decided to learn a programming language and, hopefully by the end of the summer, code an entire game. I realize this is an exceptionally overwhelming task, but there are  two reasons I have an advantage over those who have failed.

1. I have never not been unsuccessful at nothing.

2. My buddy, who actually has a blog at http://goldenfarmproject.blogspot.com/, is assisting me; it's a two-man operation.

Introducing...

    Every Sunday I'll be doing some sort of top 5 list. I could not think of some sort of clever alliteration between "Sunday" and "lists," so it will be called the Sunday 5x, unless you or I can come up with something better. With that all said, here is the first Sunday 5x!

 Top 5 Pieces of Video Game Music

1. What else did you expect?

Wii U at E3

     I think it's safe to say that Nintendo dominated E3 this year with its unveiling of the Wii U, and, honestly, they deserve. I was thoroughly impressed with the console, especially its controller.

Badass.

My 5 Favorite Games that are Not Bioware or Pokemon (1 of 5)

      This list is pretty simple. I'm listing my favorite games that were not made by Bioware and involve no Pokemon. If I allowed those two, they would compose the entirety of the list. With that said, in no particular order, here they are!


 Half-Life 2 and its episodes, Valve

     A lot has been said about Half-Life 2, with good reason too. If you've played it, you know how it feels. Whether you're destroying Striders or running out of ammo in Ravenholm, the game, for the lack of a better term, succeeds. For those of you who have not played it, do yourself an immense favor and set aside some time to do so. I promise you, you will not regret it.

    I am not a fan of FPSs, but while I play as Gordan Freeman, things are much different. The atmosphere is so Orwellian, so revolutionary that the story challenges that of story-driven RPGs. As you play, you'll journey through a variety of environments, utilize several vehicles, use dozens of weapons, and probably definitely fall in love. Go play it now. Oh, by the way Valve, when the hell am I getting Episode 3?

Goodbye Strangers

       Despite the fact that the rapture has arrived, I'll be giving you 3 posts this weekend, count'em 3! The first is about why EA is the one of the worst corporations in the United States. Yes, I realize that's a wild overstatement, but that's how I feel. My main complaint with them is their acquisition of smaller developers and how they ruin them. I'll use my all-time favorite developer Bioware as an example. Before becoming a part of EA, Bioware was making the most in depth RPGs on the market. I still, to this day, play Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Baldur's  Gate. Their games were known for close attention-to-detail and incredible story lines. However, this all changed when EA came along.
