I'm tired of looking at my **** standing on a football field everytime I look at my profile, so I'm just here to make a quick blog about nothing. I haven't really had anything profound happen recently, so I haven't "blogged" anything. Although, I can still say, if you haven't tried Lost Planet multiplayer, you really should. Everyday I see new players online that picked it up for $5-$10. That's cheaper than renting it!
As for the future, I'm really looking forward to Dark Void, Bionic Commando (multiplayer), and Street Fighter IV. That may sound like a biased comment (especially here on Capcom-Unity), but it's true. And, I'm not even including the obvious Resident Evil 5...
Capcom is going to rule 2009. I have no doubt about that. The latest Game Informer listed Capcom as the #10 best publisher of 2008. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that they are in the top ten... but with all the work they have done on the Xbox Live Arcade and PSN side, I really think the should be higher on the list. The digital download sector of games is really taking off and will soon be a new area for developers/publishers to fight for supremacy in. It may seem like a small area with small profits, but just imagine... If 1,000,000 people download something for $10, that's $10,000,000. And, it helps if it's not a half-assed attempt at entertainment. Capcom is leading the way in all areas of the video game industry. Everyone else should take note of what they are doing, and that's just a fact.
For whatever reason, I've become more and more interested in football these past few years. I remember watching the Houston Oilers when I was younger with my family, but when they moved away, I lost all interest. The Oilers moved to Tennesse to become the Titans.
After a few years, football was back in Houston. I wasn't too excited at the time... but now, I love it. Why? Who knows? But, I do know that I watch every Texans/Titans game because of the history of the two teams.
Today, I went to my first Texans game... and WE WON! Not only that, apparently my boss's brother (in Colorado) is somehow friends with Nick Ferguson (number 25), Texans' Safety. I got to meet my favorite players and go out on the field. It was a day to remember for so many reasons! It was great!
No, not Snow Infernus... although that would make more sense... It snowed today. It never snows in Houston. Well, I guess it does, just once every 5,000 years (which is weird because I've seen it snow here three times, and I'm only 27 years old, not 15,027). Maybe my Lost Planet dreams are coming true...? Needless to say, it was awesome even if it was just barely enough to stick to anything. Enough built up on my car, so I made some snowmen. Little did I know, they can get pretty violent:
What's the best thing about the snowmen on my hood? They stayed there on the drive home. They're pretty strong, able to withstand 50 mph. But, I did slide off on the last turn. The other jerks are still there. :(
I love snow. People tell me that's just because I haven't had to shovel a lot of it. Meh, I'd still like it.
1up.com has a Black Friday Video Game Cheat Sheet. Steve Watts was nice enough to get all the best video game deals together for one big list. I was browsing through and it looks like Circuit City has fantastic deals on two fantastic CAPCOM games!
Dead Rising (XBOX 360) for $9.99! And Okami (Wii) for $19.99!
That's two of my all time favorite games ever. If you haven't played either, I really suggest that you do. You won't be disappointed. And, for that low of a price, how could you pass that up? Well, I guess if there's not Circuit City around you. We still have one over here.
Also, it looks like Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 is on sale on the PSN as well for $4.99! Wow, don't you just love sales!
Ahh... Thanksgiving. What a wonderful day. It's a day that we can get together with our families and give thanks. We can enjoy time together while stuffing our face with delicious food... and lots of it. I'm sure everyone has such fond memories of Thanksgivings that have past. Like that time Grandpa bit the turkey before it was cut... and his dentures got stuck in it. Or that time, Aunt Ruth ate 17 pounds of cranberry sauce.
Well for me, Thanksgiving means one thing:
LOST PLANET
Two years ago, the Lost Planet multiplayer demo was released on Thanksgiving. From that moment on, the world of multiplayer video games changed forever (and for the best). This Thanksgiving, I invite you all to share in the thanking of Capcom for giving us the ultimate multiplayer experience. Give thanks to me for sniping you in the head from all the way across Frozen Wasteland. Give thanks to me for stomping on you in my GTB-22. And give thanks to the Energy Gun, so you can kick me out of my GTB-22.
Thursday. All day. Look for Urkel Jerk on XBOX Live. And no, we don't have to play Pirate Fortress all day to relive the demo.
