Video Game Fails
Post your biggest video game fails. I'll get the ball rolling
Croc on Sega Saturn. A common glitch was that the models wouldn't load correctly, so Croc would be nothing but a backpack, a pair of eyes, and feet. The Gobos were just eyes and tails... Yeah nothing had a body. The only way to get the game to load the models properly was to start your Saturn without a disc in it, open the disc tray with the console still on, put Croc in, and load it from the Saturn's HUB menu. And this wasn't just my copy, this was every PAL copy of Croc on Saturn. To my knowledge, the PSOne version didn't suffer this.
Batman: Arkham Asylum, forgetting that some of the gargoyles later in the game have explosions rigged to them. Come to think of it, even on the hardest difficulty, I breezed through that game and only ever died due to my sheer stupidity.
Halo 3 ODST, going for the Vidmaster where you hafta survive until the end of the fourth wave on the fourth round of Firefight on Heroic difficulty or above. Me and my friend were dead, leaving it to my other friend. There were only two Grunts left to get the achievement, our friend had a Fuel Rod Cannon. He shoots, he misses, the Grunts stick grenade him, we cired.
Brawl. Fucking Sonic spin dashing off the edge of the stage!
Tom Raider Underworld, getting stuck on a particular jump and dying multiple times before randomly jumping off the ledge backwards instead of left and landing on a platform out of camera range that bridged the gap (this is the fault of poor game design) also not realising I could climb some moss or some shit on the wall to get past a pit because I couldn't climb any of the other moss that looked exactly the freaking same (again, bad game design) and facepalming at the recycling of Natla and Amanda (bad writing). Damn I'm glad I traded that piece of shit in.
Sonic 2. Tails. That is all. (Sonic only mode FTW)

MCM Expo
@ Gale: You should come in October, it's a great weekend!
@ Darken: Thanks. My first attempt at styling a wig. Rushed in not knowing what I was doing then spent two weeks screaming and swearing at it trying to fix it before I eventually figured out what I was doing XD
@ Booble: I didn't even see that guy until you just mentioned him. I honestly had to scan back over the pictures to find him

MCM Expo
October's rumoured to be running Friday, Saturday Subnday as opposed to the usual Saturday Sunday.
Here's some photos for you Booble =) (I didn't take many because of the costume only had internal pockets so everytime I reached for my camera I probably looked a little perverse)
*Waits for PhotoBucket to do it's job*
Jo, in her Roxas costume with Laura, in her Sora costume
Awesome Gundam cosplayer (Phoebe)
Transformers: Man, our new game sucks!
An ODST
Me with a female Goku (Sarah) and SS Vegeta
I hate that hedgehog!
Ka-Me-Ha-Me-Ha!!!
Androids!
A sweet Freeza
A Vegeta vs a 17
This totally outranks my own armour

MCM Expo
Back from this year's MCM Expo and just blogged up about my weekend. I can't be arsed to retype it in a way that works for those who don't know who certain people are etc so this is literally a copy paste. Sorry.
Oh man, right, I'm going to try and write this whilst it's still semi-fresh in my mind, but bear with me if there happen to be huge gaps in time or I forget to mention someone's awesome adventures.
Also, Tonyo, I'm stealing your format of going from Friday through to Monday, I apologise for that now. I'd also like to reitterate Tonyo's point that if you don't currently get to Expo on Friday and leave on the Monday - shame on you!
Friday
I'd booked me and the missus a nice and early train, so off me and Jo went with our bags to the station for 12:00 noon. I felt particularly guilty in the train station, as before we boarded our tickets were checked by Marc, who was supposed to be coming with us until his workplace changed his shifts. There is nothing more awkward than that I assure you, and I'm sorry Marc, we truly missed you over the weekend, Rachel too.
We got into London and navigated the tubes easily enough. On previous occassions, we had been in a much larger group with Jenny, Emma and Luna, but this time we'd arrived solo and I was in charge of getting us from A to B. After looking at the map (something men suppoedly can't do) I found a route that's much quicker and easier than the one we usually take when following Emma. No offence Emma.
First time staying in the Ibis too. I gotta say, check in was painless, the room was clean, the bed was comfy. I was quite happy with it. Of course, Friday night tradition is to head to Namco, so off we went.
Namco was fun. We got a lot of tickets, from which Jo now has a cat plushie (I wanted to get more tickets and try for the Sonic plushie, but noooooo), spent maybe a little too much, participated in Tonyo's air hockey tournament (and got obliterated), fun times.
Saturday
After very little sleep I got up with Jo, slipped into my Goku costume, and headed for the Sunrise meet. Someone must have neglected to tell me it was being held the other side of the ExCel, but I found it eventually. After a little bit of larking about and realising it was too cloudy to see the sun, I went back to bed, not regaining conciousness until 7 to queue.
I met up with Matt and Jenny in the queue, got a hallo from Dragon Ball Abridged's Masako, and started slowly shuffling forward when, out of nowhere, laura appeared in her Sora cosplay to say hi to Jo, who was in a Roxas cosplay. I had spoken to Laura on Facebook before and bought a Computones book from her but she didn't seem to recognise me, at any rate her and Jo started talking and formed a new friendship.
When we first entered I considered getting a ticket for the masquerade but I'd had issues with previous masquerades and felt that with the EuroCosplay qualifiers going on it would be packed and probably last longer than usual, besides which I was going to be participating in Sunday's masquerade so I passed.
I left Jo and Laura to it and disappeared to hunt down goodies before the halls got too cramped and flooded. I was victorious in claiming a Real Works Vegeta figure I'd been wanting for a while, as well as a HSCF Goku and Vegeta. I met up with the missus again and we decided to drop our goodie bags and purchases off at the hotel so we'd have our hands free.
I came back and realised that Expo had gotten more attendees than they had bargained for. The place was packed! It didn't help that the skys decided to open either, with the rain everyone ran inside. Sardines have more wiggle room, believe me!
I bumped into Sarah, a female Goku cosplayer, and her friend, a Vegeta cosplayer, and had a photo taken with them. They seemed quite nice and the entirety of Expo it felt to me that the usual hunderds of "Can I take your picture? Kthnxbai" had been replaced with "Can I take your photo please? How did you make that? Let's have a chat" which, whilst much less frequent, was really refreshing and I quite enjoyed actually talking to new people, so I'd just like to say thank you to everyone for the change of attitude.
Seeing as I'd already hunted down the souveneirs I'd wanted, and Jo was quite happy hanging out with Laura and the Kingdom Hearts group, I decided to go try some games out, hunt down Dragon Ball cosplayers and be merry.
I played the new Transformers game, which takes place on Cybertron, and I must say I was disappointed. Compared to the other Transformers games on 360, this one felt sluggish, and at times it seemed I was fighting the controller. The pacing was off, the combat was dull and I really didn't think much of it.
I got my photo taken at the usual Neo sponsored booth (still waiting for CPU to post those up, come to think of it), had a quick chat with Masako, played some Smah Bros and met a Fascha cosplayer. It was awesome to see someone doing a commonly overlooked character. She decided to join me on my hunt for Dragon Ball cosplayers, which turned up a pair of Androids, a Kuririn and Yamcha, a rather unresponsive Vegeta, and the best Freeza I have seen yet.
After me and Fascha parted ways I bumped into Sarah and her friend again, who seemed to be having trouble with a Tony Stark cosplayer. He wanted to take five photos of him getting nearer and nearer to Sarah's chest with the last two frames being Sarah punching him, from which to make an animation. I gotta say she didn't seem too comfortable with this, but went ahead anyway, warning she'd punch him for real if he actually grabbed her! Me and her friend were kinda waiting by the sideline to see if we'd hafta jump in but thankfully he turned out to be relatively harmless.
I also watched the Naruto voice actors give a hilarious panel, but I forget if that was Saturday or Sunday. Either way it was awesome to hear "If I met Sasuke in real life? I guess I'd pet him softly on the head and tell him it's all OK."
Honestly, I don't remember much else of Saturday. Me and Jo went for drinks at Novotel. We could hear the party next to us but it didn't seem like much of going on. Laura confirmed this when she turned up, went into the party and came out five minutes later with her boyfriend Terri saying it was crap. Also had a chat and a few jokes with a couple of northerners.
Emma, Jenny, Craig and Matt didn't wanna come out so we wound up at PTI with Tony (not Tonyo - Tony) fro a few drinks. Left my passport on the bar, but thankfully someone returned it to me. Thanks again for that =)
Sunday
Me and Jo thought we'd get bad places in the queue Sunday on account of not getting up very early, but we ended up right near the front. The place seemed dead (possibly because everyone was hung over from Saturday night?). Usual queue goings on, games of bogies people yelling "card games on motorcycles" "Buttscratcher" and playing bogies. There were also some people putting nanny McPhee stickers all over the floor, and whilst I hate Nanny McPhee, I don't hate the ExCel cleaning staff who hafta peel those off.
I went in, Jo got a ticket to watch me in the masquerade later and I went and signed in for said masquerade. Then went over to Cosplay Fever and got a photo in with them, hopefully I'll get into the next book in October, and spoke to some of the indie comic guys in the artist alley.
Having just finished art school, and being very interested in starting my own comic, talking to these guys was invaluable and true to form, these guys knew how to talk for England. Jo can talk to her horsey friends for hours, I can talk to comic and games lovers for hours.
Jo went off to see the Kingdom Hearts group again while I went and got judged for the masquerade - and the guys waiting in front of me to be judged, a Chris and Jill combo, were the ones who'd found my passport the previous night! Small world.
A big hand to the guys on the cosplay desk. They were running around getting us sweets and water and chairs, they were brilliant! Thank you and well done to you guys, you rock!
After judging I had about an hour to spare before the actual masquerade, so I went and saw Jo for a little bit before going to enter my first masquerade.
The queue was actually quite fun, as was backstage. Again, the cosplay desk were attending to everyone's needs and giving the best hospitality I have seen in a long time, and cosplayers always being friendly, were up for a chat and a laugh. Particularly Ronald McDonald and the Colonel of KFC fame, those guys were epic!
I was impressed with the masquerade this year. It ran a lot more smoothly than before. Cosplayers were allowed to come on one after the after, there was less 'banter' inbetween costumes, the seating had been rearranged to resemble a catwalk, so everyone wasn't looking at your costume straight on. Oh, there were also no badly fan dubbed skits, no yaoi kisses and only one dance, plus all the costumes were awesome! Huge improvement there.
Sunday night was a bit slower for me. Jo ran on outside with Laura to play with glowsticks, while I had a quick drink with Matt, Jenny, and Terri. I didn't have the energy to join in with the glowstick fun, so I had a quick chat with Dan in the lobby and called it a night.
Monday
There's not much to say about Monday, we were sad to leave and knew parts of the tubes and DLR would be shut, but bar a replacement bus and having to switch trains half way home, it really felt the same as Mondays always. Shame on those who stayed the extra night to avoid the supposed hassle of the bank Holiday Monday, there was none! =P
Jo's made a new friend in Laura and they've now set up a Facebook group for all UK Kingdom Hearts cosplayers, I had a fun time and met some new people. All in all a good weekend and I'd like to say thanks to everyone who made it brilliant!
Oh man, right, I'm going to try and write this whilst it's still semi-fresh in my mind, but bear with me if there happen to be huge gaps in time or I forget to mention someone's awesome adventures.

5 Reasons It's Still Not Cool to Admit You're a Gamer
When I was in school, sure, being a gamer was a bit uncool. We ended up in our own little clique, a group of about ten of us who loved video games. Then we realised that actually made us one of the bigger groups in our year, the UK equivalent of your jocks had about 17, the special needs kids only had about 5, and the girl groups kept splitting up over fights about My Little Pony figures.
Then, when Pokemon came out when I was ten, owning Pokemon and being enough of a gamer to beat the non gamer groups made us slightly cool, and during the heydey of the Pokemon card game, I'd walk into school to find everyone huddled around in circles trading cards, again, our popularity went up.
Hell, in Year 6 (4th Grade for you guys, I think we start earlier and finish earlier), my teacher used to take me aside to ask me how to get past bits he was stuck on in Tomb Raider XD
Me and most of my friends are now in the group of 'acceptable' gamers. We have jobs, and girlfriends, our own places and lives, but we still play a decent amount of games with a decent amount of skill. I do however, know a large group of people who play games a lot more frequently than me, are single, live with their parents and on one occassion were amused for over half an hour by blowing projectile peanuts out of a rubber vagina, and will complain for hours on message boards if a game has even a tiny fault. I'm guessing those are the people this article is more geared towards.

Need a New Game
I've beaten Mass Effect 2, DLC included.
I went with Red Dead Redemption in the end. So far it's holding up well, though I do wish the pace would speed up a little bit. I've spent more time herding animals than having wild western shootouts so far =)

Need a New Game
Might go for Red Dead, if anywhere has the damned thing in stock. Seems there are tons of PS3 versions and no 360 versions everywhere last time I checked.
I was looking at Blur and Split Second. Apparently they're a lot like Burnout back when Burnout games were still good (Paradise ruined the series for me). Anyone got any opinions on those?
And yeah, I've not been keeping up with gaming the past two/ three months due to uni work so I'm a bit out of the loop for what's out/ coming out. All I know is Dead Rising 2 in September XD

Need a New Game
So I just beat Splinter Cell Conviction, and I've still got Mass Effect 2 sat around having completed that and all it's DLC, was thinking of trading them in tomorrow for a new game, just can't decide what to get.
Here's a link to my 360 gamer profile. Don't suggest any games on there because I already own them or have owned them in the past XD

Making a Game
post=140686post=140664
What happened to the Fenrir sequel?!
:(
It went through planning, then went through planning again, then a bit of a rewrite, then an engone change, then a graphical facelift, then a bit of kicking and screaming, then a bit of "Oh hell, I have uni work I should have been doing..."
It's currently scheduled for release when I next visit either of my parents for a holiday with a laptop in tow and remember how boring those guys are.
Making a Game
Definately taking the advice of strike while the iron's hot. The plot I have in mind suits a three act story better, but it wouldn't be impossible to do as a free roam game, but then, a three acts tory would essentially be making it as three seperate, smaller games, yet in the plot there'd be no reason to return to certain areas and plenty of reasons why you wouldn't be welcome to return (maybe I've said too much).
As for VX... I never warmed to VX's mapping, and I know a lot of people say this, but I'm not just talking about how blocky the presets look and only having one chipset. I could easily and happily make one giant chipset with everything I needed, but I noticed when I last gave VX a chance that it likes to make assumptions while you're mapping as to what should overlay what and I really didn't like that. It's not that I disrespect anyone who uses VX, and it's not that I think it's a bad program, nor am I too stuck in my roots to give it a chance, I just tried it and didn't think it was for me.
