OK well it's not my birthday but today is officially...*drumroll* ICandee, You Game's 3 Year Anniversary here at MSN Spaces! Boom, roasted! That's right, 3 years ago-2/5/2006 I created this blog and wrote my first couple of entries. I felt immediately welcomed when I first joined up and have always enjoyed writing here. Whether or not anyone reads my entries, I felt part of the gaming community and that's what matters. I never tried to be a gaming news or review site. I just wanted to blog about my adventures in gaming, which I have been for 3 years now. In that time I've gotten married, had a baby and if that wasn't enough life changes, I also experienced my launch 360 go the way of the dreaded Red Rings of Death. But through it all, 2 Spacers in particular have always been with me: TormentX, who started his Space in April 2005, used his first post to write about the launch of the 360. Superghost, who also hit Spaces in April 2005, posted about Ubisoft's ...298 days ago
Not being able to play much Fable 2 lately, I've been focusing on Animal Crossing: City Folk on the Wii. I've played all 3 versions on this game and although a lot of things have changed for the better (easier letter writing and instant fossil identification for starters), I still see so much more potential for this franchise. Don't get me wrong, I have still put hours and hours into Animal Crossing: City Folk and will continue to do so. And if they never change anything, I'll probably still spend hours catching the same old bugs and fish and running from the same old bees in future installments. However, there's one thing I really miss from the GameCube AC and that's the music. Don't ask me why because I don't have a clue. I remember first starting AC: Wild World and being disappointed that the music wasn't there. With City Folk, I was hoping they would combine the GameCube music with the DS music but instead we just got the DS music again. They have expanded how much ...302 days ago
Playing Fable 2 the other day, I noticed that I was inching closer and closer to the 10,000 gamerscore mark. This being a major landmark in my gaming career, my mind began racing with thoughts of how I could earn those final few points to finally break 10k. Fable 2 has a multitude of easily attainable achievements so obviously this was my first choice to get those final points. I just got married so I could have a child...but I'm not ready to be tied down with children in Albion yet so I could finish up the part of the main quest I'm currently on but I'm having too much fun buying up every available bit of property so nuts to that idea...I could shoot the weapons out of a Hollowman's hands then shoot...blah blah blah...nah nah nah...hmmmm... Long story short, I finally broke 10,000 gamerscore by getting married again and attaining the "Bigamy" achievement...Woo hoo! In your face monogamy!309 days ago
My favorite game developers are those that "get it". They not only make great games but there's something about them that tells you they would be cool to hang out with after the gaming is over. One prime example is Tim Schafer and the staff of Double Fine (creators of P sychonauts, which if you haven't played...shame on you!), whose humor and "get it-ness" is almost the best part of the game. It's when you find glimpses of inside jokes, culture spoofs and references (done with a light hand of course) that really make you think, "These guys are cool, they get me!" I guess my point is this: As if I needed another reason to love Fable II, I found a beer called "Hoptimus Prime" and a perfume made from the musk of balverines which include these fine words in the description: "60% of the time, it works everytime"...Thanks for getting it Lionhead... P.S.-If you don't get the musk joke, slap yourself full across the face and then go ...
