How to Kill Your Brand

Image
Well well well. After my last post I was planning on going into how I was the biggest Xbox fan back in the day and then have just lost faith in them and now Sony decided they wanted to be a disappointment too. I guess I’ll just try to go in chronological order and start with the 360 and get to now and Sony.             I got into Xbox back during the original Halo CE. During an event at school, my friends had secured a room and several TVs and brought their Xboxs to LAN Halo. It was my first time playing Halo or an Xbox but I was hooked. I can remember playing Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow, thinking of what my gamer tag should be. The 360 came out and I still think it's one of coolest consoles we’ve had. I liked how when you played co-op games on the same Xbox/TV your controller would show you which player number you were, I’m assuming that it corresponded to which screen you were on the split TV but I don’t know for certain, it wo...

Xbox Can't Stop Shitting Themselves, Restarting AC Shadows and GTA 6 Goes Digital

Image
              Helloooo. So Xbox is doing some dumb shit huh? Like, it’s really hard to like them right now. I’ve been interested in Fable but it’s kind of like I don’t want to support Xbox right now because of their dumb practices but at the same time I want to support the devs and maybe by buying the game it would help but it could sell amazingly and then they’d still lay the dev team off like they did to Tango Gameworks after the success of Hi-Fi Rush. I really like Ninja Theory, I liked the first Hellblade a lot, bought the second but admittedly haven’t played it and they go and announce another one and Xbox is going to shut them down? Makes no sense, I don’t even know why anyone still works as a dev for any of their companies anymore. I’d be out of there. Xbox also seems to think that Gears of War is what will get gamers to their console. Personally, I would keep Halo as an Xbox exclusive and have Gears be the multiplatform...

Not E3 2026

Image
                 Hello. The not E3 season has more or less come and gone. Personally there wasn’t a whole lot that got me excited, which is fine, I don’t know what it’d be like if there was a ton of games I wanted to be honest. I’m fine with a few here and there. I think that Xbox’s showcase had the most interesting things for me but I find it funny also that almost all of their games aren’t exclusive. There’s almost no reason to have an Xbox at this point, but that’s beside the point. I’m interested in the new Plague Tale game, the Doom DLC story and so far, still Fable. I’m not a huge fan of Dark Ages gameplay but from what I’ve played so far the story is interesting and the story still seems interesting in the DLC. I like the direction of Fable’s antagonist being the only hero the game needs and your character is just a joke. When she first showed up I was like “Why is she hot? Did the internet win?” I was thinking maybe it was a Crac...

Fun NG+ Options/Cheats, Not E3 2026 and Chill Games

Image
               Hello. I was adding reminders to my Wish List 2026 post that I’ll make later and it kind of dawned on me that a lot of what I want could more or less exist within current games if the developers put in cheats or different rules after you complete a game. I started playing Breath of the Wild on Cemu because I wanted to be Linkle and I was just collecting things on the Great Plateau really. Bugs, lizards, frogs, butterflies, you name it. I was kind of thinking about a low/no stakes game where you just ran around and collected shit and then I thought, that could just be in this game if you removed all the enemies . It would be cool if after you beat Breath of the Wild that you could turn off all enemies and then just explore the game. I would love to walk around all of Hyrule without the annoyance of Chuchu’s showing up or stal enemies popping up out of nowhere. I was thinking too it would be fun to have an infinite shield cheat so you...

Multiplayer Difficulty Scaling, Current Events and Personal Rants

              Hello. Nothing really going on just thought I should post something since it’s been over a month. I have been working on another WoW post but I’ve been busy playing WarCraft and not really wanting to finish it and half of it is probably obsolete anyway at this point so mehhhh. I will talk about it a little though just because there was something I just found out recently but uh yeah, I guess I’ll just get into that.             @NEETproxy and I have been playing WoW pretty regularly the last two months or so, whenever Midnight started, and I was hoping that @PoeTomic would join us at some point but he still hasn’t picked up Midnight so. Between doing delves and prey hunts I had figured we could join a PvP group and camp those crates that show up during War Mode but. So anyway, @NEETproxy and I have been doing the things, doing tier 11 delves and it goes a...

WoW Times 9

Image
  Hello. More WarCraft. I’ve been playing Midnight and I’d rather be doing that right now, I really want to get my first character to 90 so I can move on. So let’s just start with giving players buff Trolls. Actually, first of all, I think Blizzard needs more devs on WoW with the different versions they have out, things they are working on, player character meshing with armor correctly, and various other things. And I mean I don’t know, I don’t know how big the team is but with all the things mentioned above plus all the different aspects of the game and players wanting new character models for various reasons I just think they need more devs. So anyway, buff Trolls. With the new Amani Trolls we do quest for, people are once again hoping that we can get Amani Trolls as an allied race or at least an option for the Darkspear Trolls. Now I have to stop everyone right there because the buff Trolls are not Amani specific, all the Troll races have buff Trolls as well as skinny, scraggily...

Classic Plus

Image
              Hi… Sooo I’m back, already, with some more thoughts. I think this will be better, but I am a little sleep deprived at the moment so who knows. I do like my weird FPS version of World of WarCraft from my last post but the more I thought about the possibility of Classic Plus and that they supposedly hinted at in the latest State of Azeroth my mind has been more focused on that.             I had heard either from that State of Azeroth video or somewhere else that the Season of Discovery servers were still up but no one was on them so I hopped on and sure enough it was dead. Dead dead. I’ve never seen WoW so empty before, it was weird; went into Thunder Bluff, type /who and nothing, no one, spooky. Sad. While looking for info on SoD I was coming up with people talking about Classic Plus and I wasn’t sure what that was supposed to be at the time but I think o...
