Megaman9 – May Dr. Light be with you (with xbox/wii comparisons)

UPDATE: It seems setting your Xbox to 480p and normal screen settings helps a little bit with the blurry factor of the game but still doesn’t quite bring it up to the Wii version crispness.

Ah Mega Man 9, long awaited sequel to the one Mega Man series people my age grew up playing. Last we saw, our hero Mega Man was battling Wily in the 32-bit era with Mega Man 8. Waiting this long for a revival of the classic Mega Man series might have been one of the smartest decisions Capcom has ever made. Going back to the retro roots would be another, but there are many people who are disappointed thinking of the MM9 that could have been. Personally, I think it’s great they went back to the roots. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

10 ) The police came knocking on my door with a warrant for its arrest

9 ) It failed at an attempt to start a Yo Mama joke game show

8 ) It started rumors about Paul Ruben exposing himself to children in a theater

7 ) It makes Micheal Jackson look like an othodox saint

If You “Love” Something, Let it Go (in for repairs)

UPDATE THE SECOND: Tried turning it on this morning…. it’s completely dead now. Get the disc making it’s, “I’ve got power” noise but no screen or anything.

UPDATE: AAAAAAAND it’s dead AGAIN. Playing ffxi and the screen shut off. No sounds nothing. Dead. I force power off and it comes up to the Apple loading screens and goes out AGAIN. I left a message for the rep. I am really, really annoyed with this. This will be a 5th repair. This is “THE WORST SERVICE” I have ever had. Apple really appears to not know how to fix anything…

Or in my case, not so much that I love it(hence the quotes in the title), but that it’s a necessity. Once again, my macbook pro had to be sent in for repairs. Twice. Again. That puts me at 4 repairs on this one laptop in the span of a year. You’d think they’d just replace it by now, but apparently not.

Please get your kids out of my online games

by gerry on August 22nd, 2008
Posted In: Blogs, Blogs, gerry

gerrySo I have a question for you. Your kid is 12 or 13 and there’s this really bad ass movie coming out. Let’s say it’s based on a comic. Let’s also say this is a very mature comic so the movie gets an R rating. You wouldn’t let your kid see it right? Or at least the theater wouldn’t unless you were there too. So why do I have to put up with your snot nosed bratty like hell spawn in my online games? The way I see it, letting your kid play an M rated game targeted at adults where adults are playing is like driving you child down to the strip, picking out a bar and telling little johnny-bastard pants, “Have fun!”

Summer Tiiiime

gerrySo I’m getting my summer vacation on in good ol’ Buffalo, New York right now. This is why I haven’t been making many posts. I do hope you guys have been enjoying the Deadbox Comics I’ve left behind for you guys. So far, I think they’ve been pretty humorus. Hopefully y’all think so too. Anyway, I have a party to attend to and hope everyone had a good 4th of July. See you guys on the 11th.

Oh and grats to Helen on the Dino Dig!

The Bold Truth

gerrySo, a lot (read: no one) of people have been asking me how my xbox broke. Well, the truth is, Zangief came over and atomic piledrove my xbox. True story. The above illustration is a dramatic re-enactment of the event.

I’m not bored or anything.

UPDATE: Incidentally, I was reading through the warrenty. I couldn’t believe it, but in the warrenty, it explains they cover just this occurance. It’s in section SSF2HTFHDR2.5; The Zangief Clause. I looked into it, and there’s actually a story behind why they do. You see, it appears they pissed off Zangief at one point. They had pened a deal to bring MvC2 to the 360 and Zangief would lead the marketing plans. He was going to have it all finally. Fame, Fortune, a Decent Move Set. But things fell through, and while I couldn’t find the details behind it, Zangief blamed MS and vowed to get revenge. Since then he’s been seen doing carnival shows where he wrastles the hulky ps3′s and from time to time shows off his Atomic Piledriver on 360′s.

But all is not bad for Zangief. He is back on the Street Fighter Tournament for the upcoming Street Fighter IV. Maybe with this, he’ll have less time to Piledrive 360′s.

Preemptive Strike!

Arrrgh!

gerry It’s gonna happen to you one day Phil. Mark my word. It’s going to happen. Although, as you can see, Phil’s don’t cry. They just give evil drunken stares.

This gives me an idea actually! I think that there need to be a contest of sorts going on here! It’s the “What-would-they-look-like-if-their-360-broke photoshop contest!” Maybe we can even dig up a prize, but there’s no gaurentees. Got photoshop skillz? Good! Don’t need’em. Why? Because this is a contest to find the most terrible, humorus picture around! Rules after the jump!

And the heavens shall tremble

gerryHell sudden froze over and then rapidly unfroze this morning in Paris as Diablo Mother Fucking 3 was announced. After a week of speculating on the mysterious image over at Blizzard’s site, first thinking it’s just an announcement for WoW: Wrath of the blah blah, then thinking it was Diablo 3, then thinking it was Starcraft 2 release date, THEN thinking it was Lost Viking 3, and FINALLY coming back to Starcraft 2, it was unveiled that Diablo 3 was in the works. And man, not just in the works but coming along nicely. The videos shown are of a game at least 5-10 years in (that’s a Blizzard 5-10). What I’m hoping, is they were waiting to announce until close to release. I don’t want to wait another 2 years from now to play it. The one year we’ve known about Starcraft 2 has been bad enough.
