I tried to play Dark Sector, but my daughter was running around... and from the first scene where the guy snaps the neck of another guy, I figured I couldn't really play it... so I will have to wait until I get some time alone. :)

While the kids took a nap I got a few hours in on Warhammer... made more progress in PvE... really close to the next level too... the next time I play I will get it.

It was also the GamerDNA community night for Team Fortress 2. I jumped in for a few rounds, but ultimately had to head out and pay some bills... Quicken FTW.

Warhammer was tons of fun... and I made a ton of progress... I finished up the quests for chapter 4... and headed over to start on Chapter 5... I did a ton of quests in 5... and attained level 13. I also picked up a ton of new gear which you can check out in my latest character photo.

I also headed to the Inevitable City and did all the quests there... as well as bought out an auction for a sweet new Axe. All in all a really great solo night on Warhammer... My Marauder is finally starting to look awesome.
Thursday, October 02, 2008 | angry | Advanced Wars: Days of Ruin
Advanced wars is a good example of a title that just gets too annoying to play by the last mission. As if the game wasn't "fun" enough, they had to throw in all these elements that make it very frustrating to play in the later levels... culminating in suckiness on the last mission.

There are far too many "super weapons" that deal out random and semi-unpredictable damage to your resources. It isn't enough they give you way too few unit against the enemy but also throw in all these auto lasers, infinite enemy producers, and random grenade launchers that deal out 50% damage to anything coming out of your factory. I mean seriously? WTF?

In the end, it made me throw down Dual Strike in disgust. It just isn't fun to play when the external elements are what holds you back... and you feel like you have no control over the onslaught of random damage being dealt on your from an untouchable place.

Sure, I could power through... figure out a strategy... but it just isn't fun... so for now... I'm leaving it... one mission away from completion.

It has been quite a while since I turned on the Xbox. I had 32 live messages! :) I haven't picked up Rock Band 2 yet because of all the Warhammer Online I have been playing. But we did play some Rock Band 2 at work the other night so it made me want to jam a bit. So it was a good time... and Hannah and Lucy like it too... so it still remains an activity for the whole family!

Q. When you are not playing games, what do you do for fun? (Answer!)
A. Hanging out with my daughters... I use to DJ Trance music and write a little music, but lately that hasn't been happening. :)

Q. Have you ever had a memorable real-life meeting with other gamers? (Answer!)
A. Yes, I have had some great LAN Party moments... playing Desert Combat Mod for BF 1942... using the C-130 with a team of 4 friends laying waste and listening to people across the room hate all over us. Good times.

Q. How many hours a week do you play? (Answer!)
A. 5-10

Q. In real life, are you male or female? (Answer!)
A. Male

Q. What are your thoughts on roleplaying in games? (Answer!)
A. The best part of role-playing games is making the characters. :)

Q. What is your first computer or video gaming memory? (Answer!)
A. Playing ET for the Atari 2600. I remember getting it for Christmas and thinking it was the VHS (or beta?), but then being pretty stoked when it was for a game console! Regardless of what the critics say about that title, I will always have a soft spot for it.

Q. If you could cancel any online game, which would it be? (Answer!)
A. I am typically not a hater on any game... i believe in something for everyone.

A. Why my mobile smart phone of course!

Q. Beside GamerDNA, what are your favorite websites? (Answer!)
A. 360voice.com of course!

Q. If you could meet any game developer, who would it be? (Answer!)
A. Probably Cliffy B because he seems really awesome... but then I would feel dumb saying "Oh hey Cliffy uh.... what's up?" so instead I might try and talk business with him... like how we can work with Epic to do rad things in the area of gaming community.

Q. What are your thoughts on player-made mods/addons for games? (Answer!)
A. Some of the best gaming memories I have are on player made maps and mods, so I have high respect for them and the people that take the time to create them.

Q. If you could bring any book, movie or comic to life in a game, which would you choose? (Answer!)

Q. If you made your own game, what would it be like? (Answer!)
A. I would make a super rad SHMUP

Q. How do you feel about playing characters of the opposite sex? (Answer!)
A. I typically play the character that looks and acts the most like me... so I really never do that.. .unless it is a 3D fighter... Chun Li FTW.

Q. What is the most memorable flamewar you can remember? (Answer!)
A. I don't believe in flamewars.

Q. Do you feel relationships within games are meaningful? (Answer!)
A. Of course! The games you like tell me a lot about who you are.

A. I like PVP as long as it is real-time FPS style... turn based RPG-ish PVP, not so much.
