Any last words? YES DAMMIT.
You know those times when you're casually playing a friendly game of Counter-Strike (or any other game for that matter) with your buddies, when suddenly some young competitive punks who think they're MLG material drop by to rain on your parade? Turning that fun-filled match into a swear-filled, sweat-producing and rage-inducing tournament?
A Gamer's Woes : Multiplayer Gaming In My Region
In this day and age, an integral part of gaming is of course, multiplayer gaming.
Who needs the Dragonborn?
So I was bored one day and decided to head back to Skyrim. The beauty of having endless user-generated mods is always a pleasure to try out. Especially this one:
The Rebel Moment
I was looking through my stash of old CDs and look what I found!

Well, if you're a victim of that, fret not! Watch this video and shed manly tears that these wrong-doers have at least been served justice! (Or just watch the video and laugh your heart out, your call. Still shed manly tears, though.)
So I was bored one day and decided to head back to Skyrim. The beauty of having endless user-generated mods is always a pleasure to try out. Especially this one:
It allows you to control almost ANY NPC's in the game. I figured I don't exactly have to be the Dragonborn to exact revenge against them bandits.

Its none other than my old copy of Star Wars Rebel Assault 2.It was probably one of the first games I've ever played on the PC. I think I was about 5 years old when I first played this.
I popped it in but since its old software, it couldn't run on my Windows 7 PC. I had to use a DOS emulator, called DOSBox.
I successfully managed to get it running, and here's some of the gameplay I compiled.
You, especially those who frequent on Steam, may have heard
of Sanctum. The prequel was generally well-received by those who played it when
it came out in 2011. Unfortunately, it didn’t garner as much popularity among
the community. My guess would be that many were probably unwilling to try out
an intricate formula. The thought of playing first person in a tower defense
game would probably put off most casual players.
I bought Sanctum during 2011 winter’s Steam Sale because it
was dirt cheap (then again, every game is dirt cheap on a Steam Sale). However,
I’ve not touched it till today for some reason. Every time I get around to
playing it, something more important usually slaps me across the face and I
forget about it.
So, when Sanctum 2 was released, I was definitely keen on
playing it. Bought it immediately on Day 1 and began installing it the very
next second.
I must say, I really enjoyed myself, even when I was playing
solo. It really is a refresher from “serious” first person shooter games, and
much simpler. Granted that they don’t possess the in-depth character
personalities that Team Fortress 2 has for its classes, or a huge array of
weapons like in the Modern Warfare series, Sanctum 2 comes with its own charm
that has got me head over heels.
It’s definitely more fun when played with other people. Coordinating
your efforts, sharing resources and the occasional “trying to kill your buddy
with the falling building placement” is what keeps you from growing tired of
this game. Especially in the last waves, where strong, durable enemies come out
to obliterate your core (the thing you’re supposed to protect); holding that last
stand with your teammates brings out certain camaraderie amongst strangers.
Definitely try out Sanctum 2 if you’re in need of a different
recipe for a first person shooter from the others out there currently. If you
have friends in the same position, I would strongly advise you grab them now and
blast some aliens away.
What happens when you have too many games on steam and don't know what to play?
Well, we played something that's entirely NOT in Steam........
I personally used to play the original Liero way back when I was a kid. It was pretty fun back then. I used to play split screen with my cousin.
Really glad that the game's still alive through this open source version, the amount of mods is really crazy and awesome. Fun game to play when you really don't feel like thinking too much.Mindless fun.
So we left off our hero, Artyom at Rigo Station. His heroic actions during the ill-fated cart ride has gained recognition around town, bringing him to the attention of a mysterious stranger...
Well, as most of you with Steam accounts are probably aware
that Metro:
The Last Light,the sequel to Metro 2033, is now
available. For those who probably figured this was some kind of morbid train
simulator produced by Tim Burton, I’ll try to correct that real quick.
The Metro series basically throws you back to a
post-apocalyptic Moscow, after Russia was bombarded to kingdom come due to a
nuclear war. The country is now severely radiated, making survival almost
impossible on the surface and forcing the remaining citizens to seek refuge
underground in the metro stations.
Meanwhile, those stranded outside, animal and human alike,
have mutated into vicious creatures or what the locals have taken to calling “Dark
Ones”. Those lucky enough to avoid such a fate now face a daily battle for
survival, scavenging essential food and supplies while avoiding certain death
by radiation, bandits or mutant claws.
Personally, I had Metro 2033 long before the sequel
came out. But one thing about me, I have this big phobia for playing horror
games. Ever since F.E.A.R (a very, very
scary game for you paranormal weirdos), I didn’t dare playing even Left
4 Dead for a while!
I’ve, however, heard good things about the Metro series, and
I’ll be damned if I let a little girl in a red dress prevent me from experiencing
it first-hand for myself.
So I booted Metro 2033, and decided to see what
the fuss was all about…
In this game, you play Artyom, a 20-year-old male survivor
who has lived underground his entire life. You start off in a prologue, where
you accompany Miller, another survivor, for an apparent mission…
The story then rewinds back 8 days ago. The story begins
when Artyom and his stepfather cross paths with an old friend, Hunter, who is
an elite Ranger and mutant hunter. Their brief reunion is cut short when the
mutants find a way to break into the heart of the metro…
The 20-year-old eventually leaves the sanctuary of his home
after promising Hunter to seek aid from Polis, another station, to counter the
growing mutant threat. He signs up as a
caravan guard for a push cart, which would take him north towards Rigo Station…
So our hero makes it to Rigo Station without any problems…
but his journey is far from over. Will he press on, despite knowing what danger
lurks in the dark, abandoned tunnels? And what were those visions he
encountered? Were they an omen for things to come, or simply hallucinations due
to the radiation?

Joking. Or am I? Hey... no wait! Don't close this page! Really, I was just pulling your leg!
Phew... well, it's our first post and, if our spare time allows it, the
sign of many others to come. I could welcome you all with an awkward
introduction of my long history with video games, but I'll cross that
bridge when the time comes. Promise and pinky swear.
Stay tuned for updates, we'll be putting out reviews, game play videos and opinion pieces for popular games in these few days.
