Anticipated Games

I did promise I would write this.

Spore -
i got the creature creator, and i have to say i am like WOW! even with the 25% body bits the amount of creations possibly is practically infinite. this is an amazing bit of kit and could possibly change some games in near future.
cos if some of my games knowledge i know that the on the fly animation of whatever creature i make is amazing achievement, it can cope if i stick on 8 legs, or but legs on shoulders n arms on the hip, just have arms etc. things like making that work (okay its not perfect, but close) would take weeks of animation by hand, n here i can knock it out real time.
i have tried to get my mates to try it, mainly my gaming course mates, but there gonna hold off, but i don't see why, its not like its not free. summit to do with keeping it a surprise.

Battlefield Heroes-
found out about this when it was first annoucned, and I'm mainly intrigued with the sort of TF2 type play, but for free, on relatively week PC's. i saw this as a great way to keep up on some multiplayer gaming with my mates, but apernalty there not so bothered by it. hmm.
so here's for hoping the open beta is soon, then soon followed by RC.

Final Fantasy XIII, it may be unlucky for some, but hopefully this will be brilliant, and make my £300 purchase of a PS3 worthwhile. I've read the reviews , n what square have been saying they want to throw in, such as the real-time rendering of Advent children quality characters, a real time fighting system form XII souped up a bit, for cinematic battles etc. This should hopefully just blast the Xbox out the way form all the screenshots comparison.

Assassins Creed 2
this is relatively new for me. borrowed assassins creed, heard it was quite good, and i thought the game play was amazing, the whole jumping form one building to the next, n the leaps of faith, i do have some quibbles, but i wanna see them take the play to the next level, as well as find out what asbergo want to do with pieces of Eden, n what the writing on the wall means.
thx's to tom for introducing this to me.

Doctor Who(oooo, hey! doctor who!)

I'm now back online after an argy bargy. brb, need minstrels, and a coffee. with my isp. turns out if you complain as much as possible n mention ofcom, they bow to your every desire.
so yeah, as the title may tell you, Dr who is the main topic of this post.
thought midnight was very good with the whole copy cat thing, n was definitely the better of the "different" dr who (ie the one with the angels, n the one with peter Kay go into that category, ones that aren't traditional kill the bad guy stuff)
so we are now rolling up into the three part finale, which with all the mentions of his name, Medusa cascade, davros, rose, no bees, planets ending etc is pretty sure destined to be big, my major hope is that it might bring back galifrey, cos ive reckoned all along it's dodgy that time war end's supposedly with death of daleks and timelords, yet the daleks have come back on 3 occasions now, but no sign of the Time lords.
and now were nearing the end, i have to say that Donna has actually turned out to be really good, especially at helping develop the doctor, and if she has to die dies than i might have a little sad. kinda rich rose telling Donna she has to die like, come on your not even technically form this dimension so its not like we'd proper miss you.

also on other news I've started playing oblivion on PS3 yes i know some mates would claim its better on pc cos of mods, but that was the only difference between the two, n of course the fact I'm borrowing it off a mate which makes it free. in theory its just a stop gap until FF XIII comes out!!! (still undecided on getting XII, then Versus, or getting both at same time, and though i won't be getting it i hope some sort of FF XIII PS3 comes out, seens they've been with Sony for about 13 games (counting ports and others) so if MGS can get one form 4 games, then FF deserves one as well, though i don't think all white with FF XII written on it would be way to go.

right I'm gonna stop here, though i think ill knock out another post about anticipated games.

Are we the only one's?

Reading various stuff recently on space n people possibly living in it.
Dunno if people have heard of the Drake Equation, basically it's to work out how many planets in the galaxy ( can't remember) may house intelligent beings. current figures put into the equation puts it at 2.3 (scientists obviously don't realise you can't have .3 of a species).
kinda depressing, the Fermi Paradox suggest there is no life at all or else we would have heard of them, or they might have come visited us (his glass was definitely half empty) but this is based on the fact that of out 3 million year existence in the last 80 yrs we have been broadcasting radio and TV ( i think Alpha centuria are currently getting the first colour broadcasts).
But I'm all hoping that were not the only ones, admittedly the "other ones" might exist both a) many many miles away, n b)many millions/billions of years after we're gone.
or theres a galactic consortium of higher beings else where having a good knee's up n were not included yet cos one of the planets hasn't been able to watch the end of Dallas n find out who shot JR.
Another thing I was reading today is that scientist have found genetic material in a meteor, further leaning us towards "the human race came form outer space on a meteorite" theory.
now the fact that some more genetic material has landed on this planet gave me an idea, an idea which started this post, what if we were to fills some steel/rock /whatever balls up with genetic code, or even amoebas, just semi smallish ball's n fire about 100,000 or more into space in every what direction, and i reckon give it several million years and their could be at least 10 populated planets. in fact we could use these as scouts so in a million million years we Can find the habitated planets, wipe out the previous life forms n colonize it. kinda creepy is if another race had this idea before hand....
ps in this post I've added links so other people Can read what i did

Bored

im bored, like really bored, like ive read an entire web page, played about 8 games of civ, watched nearly all my DVDs n have had to borrow some more/buy soem more. im so bored im past the stage of installign linux ( i noramlly do that when i get really bored)
currenlty wathing blade ruynner as a type this which is proving aquite alright, reminds me a bit like Brazil, also kinda freaky seeing a fly over of Boro at the begieng of a block buster film.
well i think my interents sorted so i cna play some games online wiht mates n stuff now, on the downside my ps3 won't connect so ive sort of lost my PSn gmaes n cant get the in game xmbwhen it comes out (im currnetly in talks with my isp to solve this)
also im currnertly a bit ill, jsut a bad stomach though so just a case of soem rennie every now n then.
also looking into getting oblivion, jsut dunno if i want it for ps3 or PC, its sort of old so i suppose graphhocs at 1080p aretn gonan changge much, jsut wiht PC i cna get laods of mods n what not, but with ps3 i can build up my game library on my shiny new console, also the ps3 version comes in black...decsoions desicions. ( ie anyone with either give a hand plz)
or i may get Mass effect PC, looked alright on 360, n id meant to be awesoem alsong wiht extra stuffo n pc. so i dunno, obliovn pc/ps3 or MEpc?

Terminator robots

been seeing a few articles on gun bots. first one i read was about one supposedly getting twitchy with the gun turret n spinning it on its own accord.
but im just wondering whether gun robots are morally right, okay it saves lives, but only on the side with the robots. surely it would make a n infite:0 kill ratio, cos liek 1 robot kills 10 people, then they "kill" it, then they 10 peopel short n other side has none left. obviusly other side coudl bring in robots too, but then it'd be robot wars, n whats the point.
obviuslly other prob is, "hey why are we controllign these dudes manualyy, why dotn we jsut jam some Ai in them, i jsut found htis disc for ..skynet, seems to run fine" then frm there history tells us what im gonan point out, what if they turn on peopl, we cant kill them. there machines, as long as thers metla nelectricty then there goign for ever, harsh enviormenst, no slepe etc.
pepl may have ssen animatrix n terminator.
anotehre problem wiht htis is most fears on killer robots stem form termintor n matrix n varios others, are we tooo taken by that to accpet thes creaitons into a modern army?
i persoally htink no, but im also agianst war, so im slightly biased.


oh n anotehr bit, why does Apple seme to have 2 weeks of blog sattributed too it? there not the onyl ocmpany in the world, if i had wnated an iphone 2.0 i'd probalbyl skip now cos its all ive bloody heard abotu for 2 weeks, n the netbooks too, i dont get why ther knockning up specs n prices, in a few monthws tehy'l be laptops agina, i want hte £100 netboosk we were origanlly promised. jsut sowmthign thqat i can surf webo n n store a few pics on, i dont neede XP, bluetooth, webcam, brushed aluminuim etc. jsut atom + ram + linux + screen + ssd/hdd thats it. nice n cheep

also im enjoying FF 3, despite the few flash bugs n no live mail. but im liking hte new OS based ui, n the built in history search with progressive searching, now ot add it to the main search bar.

Game Idea's

1. where the hell is the Doctor Who Video Game? come on, its practically ripe for a puzzle solving platformer type thingy. it probably doesn't even have to be that good just stick the name on a case and it will sell.
2. This is an idea I came up with while playing GTA. I was slightly disappointed that no matter how far you played, how many thousands of pounds you end up wiht (250) you were still jsut a hired thug.
I reckon there should be the abilty to work your way up the ladder, start off as a hired hand, build up your cash, get yourself a new place, better suits, get more cash, form a vague gang, maybe go do some bigger jobs, wiht more cash, get your self a pad n start hiring othere goons to dosome of yor work, decing on wthere to rob sons bank, o wethere to do a drug run etc. sort of a more traditional style RPG ( cos im pretty sure GTA is an RPG) gangsta thing. making a name for yourself would be nice too instead of " a cuacasion man today assasinated the ehad of a major rime ring/drug runenr/cop brother" etc. considerign theres very few of the head honchos left in the end im amazed theres no option ot take over.

but yeah if anyones wanting to pick up these ideas ( if anyone even reads them) go ahead take them, as long as tehre's a game of them i can play ill be a happy bunny.

jsut anotehre post

got internet up n running, went with the accommodations supplier ( best for short run)
ill get some snaps of my new place n upload them to facbook at some point in near future, still have odds n sods to unpack first though so let me get it tidy first.
im quite liking this blogging thing too. not so sure how long ill keep it up though, but ill try to keep it going, at least 1 blog a week, though ill try not to inundate people.
i suppose if i did slightly less i can make them more filling, i might start adding hte whole "my views" spin on the blog maybe too, everyone seems to be wantign to do that. oh yeah might even but up a how to blog upso peeps can have ashot at sticking up a blog on facebook
