The 6h05t Asks: Who are you rooting for?

Before you answer this question, hear what I have to say, eh?

For years I've been a hardcore Nintendo fan, ever since I got an NES from my late uncle in the early 90s. Favoring the SNES over the Sega Genesis later on as well as the Nintendo 64 being my all-time favorite system, and being a supporter of Nintendo's handheld from the original GameBoy to the Nintendo DS: I always thought Nintendo did good for this industry.

Up until recently Nintendo has been having a difficult time selling Wii hardware and Wii software, having the console to "stall" at this point. A few people claimed that the Wii may outsell the PS2's lifetime sales, but Sony's successor to the PSX has a worldwide sales count of 140 million units. Even though Nintendo broke records in game sales and being one of the most innovative publishers on the planet, as far as I'm concerned, I am dissapointed in the lack of good games third party developers have created, thus drifting me away from getting a game for the Wii (in fact, I haven't even bought a new game in over a year for the Wii!).

Since my purchase of the 360, I've played that console more than the Wii and DS combined. But the only thing that kept me away from Microsoft's system is their online service. I don't want to pay extra for online gaming. It's like a gaming divserified system (Silver not getting online play whereas Gold has everything else), even though I hardly play online games, but you get what I mean.

But ever since I purchased a PS3, I've been playing on Sony's system more than 360 at the moment. I do plan on getting games like Demon's Souls and Arkham Asylum in the future (if I can afford it). So far I only play LBP, a few PS1 games, and PlayStation Home (and some demos here and there), and I want to expand my library for this console.

Even though I'm a hardcore Nintendo fan, in this gaming generation I have to yield their support due to lack of good quality software. But that's not stopping me from not playing on their systems (my primary reason for the Wii is c1assic games, and I still play those games on the Wii), I once in a while play a game on the Wii here and there.

Even though I like Microsoft's many options on content (games, movies, TV, music, etc.), in this generation I have to give my support to Sony. What are my reasons why I prefer Sony over the other two, you ask? I believe they have potential to succeed ever since they changed their marketing strategy when they released the newer model of the PS3 as well as forcing Microsoft and Nintnedo (and probably scaring them too) to compete with their demands.

Now that you know who I'm supporting in this gaming generation, who are you rooting for? Sony? Microsoft? Nintendo? Let your typing be heard !!!

See Ya!

Probably the biggest reason to buy it on Blu-Ray

I've only watched District 9 once, and I enjoyed every minute of it.

After finding out that the Blu-Ray version will include the God of War III E3 demo just a few minutes before posting this blog, now I have reason to watch the film in HD as well as trying my hands on what I describe as "a mature version of Zelda." But that's just me, eh

I do plan on getting the God of War collection next month since I desperately need another PS3 game than what I have now. (Haven't played much of LBP due to playing too much of PlayStation Home.)

That's all I have to discuss for today. See Ya!

Mastering Time, The Hard Way

NOTE: Having some problems uploading images via Photobucket, saying that the upload failed.

Anyway...

After years of searching this one particular game, I have finally purchased The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest for the Gamecube.

Right now I'm on the first dungeon (Deku Tree) and I'm at the water platform room at the moment. I'm scratching my head on trying to solve this puzzle. I can see why you have to be a master of the original game. All in all, it's interesting just to solve these puzzles that are 10x more complex.

As for Ocarina of Time itself, I have the N64 version, the Collector's Edition via GCN, the Wii Virtual Console version, and now the Master Quest version. The only versions I don't have are the N64 gold cartridge version and the 64DD version of Master Quest (which this is impossible since the 64DD Drive was somewhat of a debacle in Japan and never made it way outside of the country). So I have 5 different versions of the game (4 = Original; 1 = Master Quest).

I guess that's all I had to say for the time being. See Ya!

Perhaps I should... Maybe... idk :(

Been thinking about trying out Warhawk for the PS3. Saw it for $20 at my town's Walmart. Thought about buying it this past weekend.

Unsure if anyone still plays Warhawk (since it's online-only). Trying to figure out how many units were sold for this game. I never even played the PS1 version (I think it's available as a PSone C1assic download via PSN).

I'll give it a rent before making my final decision. See Ya!

The 6h05t Asks: Texting in Games

Which method of texting on your favorite gaming systems do you prefer: controller or keyboard?

For me I cannot stand using the controller (the Wii is an exception though) so I recently purchased a USB keyboard to type whatever on PlayStation Home, search for levels on LittleBigPlanet, etc. etc.

See Ya!

About Me

UPDATED 9/20/09: Welcome to my video game blog site. I'm a fan of drawing, writing, comics, and once in a while enjoy a good cup of coffee. I am aiming for a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design since drawing is my passion (it has been for a very long time). In terms of my gaming life: I have played over 700 games with a game collection of 140+. I own an SNES, N64, Wii, GBA, GBA SP, DS Lite, PS2, PSP, Xbox, Xbox 360, and a PS3. Zelda is my favorite series. The Nintendo 64 is my favorite console.
