I figure I might as well do an update too...

Posted by Lollybomb on 9/28/2008 8:43:00 PM

I've been doing a bit of stuff in my free time. A System Shock 1 speed run at this link.

Also a few more images in the Brawl Gallery.

Until next time!

Consumer whores, assemble!

Posted by Frankie on 9/23/2008 2:24:00 AM

What a crazy couple days it has been.

1: Toonami is now dead. Way to go Cartoon Network for giving us the heads up 15 minutes left in your final broadcast. [link]

2: Mega Man 9 comes out with DLC you have to pay for. I am going to end up buying it all because I am a consumer whore. I plan on purchasing Mega Man 9 for the PS3 instead because after buying WiiWare Helix, I need to ration all the free blocks I have left on my Wii. For the Mega Man purist who complain that Mega Man should only be bought on a Nintendo system; remember that Mega Man 8 came out for the original Playstation. link

3: And on a personal note, I finally got to see the entirety of the 1983 Dragon's Lair game. Pretty cool stuff for a 25 year old arcade machine. [link]

Enjoy your new week everyone!

The Fun is Back!

Posted by Frankie on 9/16/2008 3:35:00 AM

Summer is over and so are all the vacations. If there is anything I excel at, it is playing extreme catch up! Be it catching up on 3 months of school knowledge 10 hours before a final exam or several months of art projects in 3 days. I am awesome under pressure!

Regardless, the fun is back!

-later days people!

Alone in the Dark on Citadel Station

Posted by Lollybomb on 7/16/2008 2:48:00 PM

Two things I'm making note about. The first, I've finally figured out an effective way to play and record System Shock 1. So I'm going to. This new project of mine will be called "System Shock: A moderately quick run" because if I called it a speedrun I'd by lying, and I can't exactly do it in the same vein as Reductio ad Vis because there really is no "wrong" way to play the game. Also it is my understanding that at the time of this writing there is already someone else on youtube doing a commentary run. That's fine. I don't care. I'm still going to do one myself. It's still up for debate the details, but it will be done, and it will be done moderately quickly.

That aside, here's something else, Alone in the Dark as reviewed by Yahtzee. Apparently instead of adhering to the idea of survival horror or some such, they went to rival Superman 64. At least, that's what one would assume when they advertise built in level skipping as a feature. Freaky.

Maybe I'll also start posting up some funny scenes that I've recorded from TF2, or instead play Opposing Force or Blue Shift and comment those. Of course, if I'm to ever post anything from TF2, it'll have to happen while I'm recording. Which never seems to happen...

What? More Updates? Really?

Posted by Frankie on 7/8/2008 6:11:00 PM

Another day, another glorious update. Giving everyone a one-two punch combination, here is a second anime review by DireWolf for Origin: Spirits of the Past (Gin-iro no Kami no Agito). Two days in a row of review epicness! ...(I was just informed "epicness" is not a real word. I say "Blahh" to people always correcting my grammar!)

Either way, a quick direct jump link can be found through the power of this [link].

The Vacation Is Over...

Posted by Frankie on 7/6/2008 12:10:00 AM

What happens when the world is against someone who trying to make a difference? It all depends on that person's perseverance. Ninja Pirate Dog has been one tough ship rocking back and forth between good and bad constantly. A slow but steady fan base has been growing and I have failed in keeping this ship sailing straight; maybe I have just been drunk at the wheel. I wanted to just issue a formal apology and thanks to those faith viewers who keep coming back even though things have been rough. (...yea ...yea excuses, excuses, you want results.)

Expect things to start back up come this Monday and keep your eyes peeled for all the constant changes. I will always make sure that we provide you entertainment in its various forms always free for you to enjoy!

For now, one of our new visitors (who I have learned to fear) when seeing our famous dogs list made sure to give her opinion and demand I update it to her standards! So give it a read, you might learn something. I, on the other hand, need me to get a copy of Animal Farm to read!

There is no title, there is only HTML

Posted by Lollybomb on 7/2/2008 12:21:00 PM

I feel somewhat bad posting this up for a few reasons. One it marks three weeks in a row where the only update is something we didn't create. Two it hits somewhat close to home because video game comics are one of the things Frankie is supposed to be doing around here. Three Frankie hasn't been doing his comics, though he says that he has been working on a new layout.

Still with no games to critique, Yahtzee shifts his sights to, you guessed it, video game webcomics!

I'm trying to do stuff too, but you have no idea how hard it is proving to be to get System Shock 1 to run in a virtual machine. I'm limited so far to either choppy high resolution play, or smooth low resolution play that makes youtube look like Bluray. You ever play a game at 320x200? It's not pretty.

4 Solid Gears of Metal

Posted by Lollybomb on 6/25/2008 2:17:00 PM

According to Direwolf, Frankie has been stopped at the border on his way home from two weeks in Mexico for reasons unknown. This means that today's post is a veritable insult to injury. I'll fill you in.

MGS4 came out one day after he left for Mexico. Because of this he had me preorder and pick it up for him. It has since then been sitting in my room on a shelf being not played because I'm not a fan of the game. It has been sitting there taunting him, and today he was supposed to be coming home. But now he has to wait until tomorrow. So close, and yet so far. Still worse, can you guess why I'm saying anything about this in the first place? Because this week's Zero Punctuation is about MGS4! There's your insult to injury. It's like everyone and their dog has played this game, except Frankie. No matter. You can watch the video too.

I have to agree, I didn't like the game for the terrible story to gameplay ratio. Watching the movie version of MGS3 was great, and this would probably be even better, but I'd pass on it as a game. I'll probably watch Frankie play it though.

Drugs are bad, mmmm-kay?

Posted by Lollybomb on 6/18/2008 1:55:00 PM

Unless of course they're provided to you by your employer for the express purpose of perforating those they have classified as "bad." Still at least sometimes the designers will penalize you for the use of drugs. Like System Shock 1 would hinder your sight after the sight enhancement patch wears off, and the strength patch makes you see freaky colors, and I swear that the mind enhancer would upgrade the graphics...

. . .

What was I talking about again? Oh, right, Zero Punctuation and Haze. Do drugs, kill people, and don't do like Xenos and overdose repeatedly. On purpose. It annoys everyone.


Seriously Xenos, just play the game properly and stop trying to act retarded.

New Team Fortress Vid - Meet the Sniper

Posted by Frankie on 6/17/2008 2:05:00 PM

Value's latest video depicting one of the classes in Team Fortress 2 has such a cinematic flair, that it would be terrible to not make mention of it. Which is why it deserves the front page news that it is getting.
