Video Game Memories Part 1

Video Game Memories

In these series of posts, I will be mentioning some of my video game memories.

Growing Up Playing Video Games

Unlike the older generation, most of us today have grown up playing video games. I remember as a kid playing games such as Pacman, Space Invaders, Dig Dug, and Pong. Back then these video games were very advanced, and we were very excited to get them.

First Experience With Video Gaming

My first experience in gaming came from a small handheld Space Invaders video game I received from my parents one Christmas. I was very excited to receive that, and spent hours a day playing it with my brothers. The graphics were very simple, just small pixels on a small screen... but that didn't matter. I hadn't seen anything like it before. There were buttons on each side of the handheld game, so I would often compete with my brothers. I would mash on the buttons as the music from the device rang through our ears.

Those were good memories, and one which anyone growing up back then can relate to.

This is the New Space Invaders Extreme for DS...

Searching for Free Video Games Downloads?

noreply@blogger.com (Graham Matthews) — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 00:18:00 +0000

There are lots of places online to download free video games.

Downloads free for video games are very easy to find.

Here are the steps I use to download free video games...

Open up Google Search or your favorite search engine
Do a search for any of these search terms for popular free video games
free video games downloads
video games downloads free

free downloads video games

Any of these should do to search for free video games downloads!

A word about torrent sites
Stay away from torrent sites!
Torrent sites for video games torrent are full of viruses for the most part...
and they are completely illegal.
Support the people who create video games by purchasing the game!

Happy searching!

Fixing Common PS3 Problems and Solutions

noreply@blogger.com (Graham Matthews) — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 19:25:00 +0000

If you had a PS3 for long enough, you have most likely experienced some common problems, including:

Lack of upscaling: If your HDTV does 1080i but not 720p, then expect to play your games in 480p, as the PS3 will not upscale the graphics to 1080i.
Overheating: A lot of retailers are reporting test boxes overheating.
Backwards-compatibility: Several PSOne/PS2 games don’t work correctly with the PS3 yet
Won't read games or blu-ray movies. Or dvd, or cd, etc., freezing, choppiness, sometimes it works / sometimes it doesn't, etc.
The XMB bar / Menu freezes, any kind of freezing.
No Power, red blinking lights, three beeps, etc.
No audio or video, distorted video, lines, weird colors, no hdmi, only hdmi, etc. USUALLY users with this problem will get the Yellow Light of Death
Overheating. (PS3 works longer when you first turn it on, then shuts off when it gets too hot.)

Below is a solution to common PS3 fixes from a guy on Youtube.

If your problems are still not fixed, you may want to consider:

Review Of Battlefield 3 - A Game Of Highs And Lows

noreply@blogger.com (Graham Matthews) — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 18:59:00 +0000

Author: Chad

Battlefield 3 is the last in the long line of modern day military shooters, which was popularized by Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. It's been hyped as the new king of the hill, and EA has very deliberately positioned it up against Call of Duty, with the marketing tagline being "Go beyond the call" (Subtle, guys. Real subtle).
Now the game is here, ready to impress us with gorgeous graphics, a compelling campaign and orgasmic multiplayer madness. Or that is what the hype would have you believe at least. Read on to find out if Battlefield 3 is going to leave you with a warm fuzzy feeling of delight, or the unpleasant buzz of frustration.
With the PC being my gaming weapon of choice, buying Battlefield 3 has meant that I have also had to get EA's new Steam competitor, Origin.
Origin has gotten a lot of hate from the general gaming community, and I feel that a lot of it is really just knee jerk reaction hate towards not being able to get your games from Steam anymore. But I will say that Origin does not feel as fully thought through as Steam does. After downloading and installing Battlefield 3, I got a nice little shortcut icon on my desktop.
Clicking on that shortcut however, does not simply launch the game and take you into the world of crashing jets and fragging newbies. Instead Origin starts up and goes into your game library, where it then automatically starts up Battlefield 3. Then you are taken to the "Battlelog" page, which is the browser interface that Battlefield 3 uses to present your multiplayer stats, and which you will also use to select singleplayer, co-op or multiplayer. That process seems a bit fiddly, but I do actually like the easy tracking of all your stats that is available from Battlelog.
I started out with the campaign. From the clips that Dice have been showing off, it looked like the campaign was going to offer a great thrill ride, letting us drive tanks in the desert, participate in a large scale attack on Teheran, and generally feel like we were in the middle of a war zone. Something that has been the trademark of the Battlefield multiplayer experience ever since Battlefield: 1942.
So have Dice managed to create the next step in military shooter campaigns?
In one word: No.
In a few more words: Not even close, buddy.
Now, the game looks amazing. Really incredibly fantastic, if you're playing on a fairly beefy PC. And for the first couple of campaign missions you'll be too busy drooling over the visuals to really notice that nagging sense of deja vu that slowly starts spreading from the back of your head. But soon it becomes all too apparent that the campaign of Battlefield 3 has nothing to offer you that we have not already seen in Modern Warfare 1/2. In fact I would say that the Modern Warfare series does a better job of creating interesting set pieces that continually makes you go "holy hell that was cool!". The campaign in Battlefield 3 has too few of these moments, and ironically my favorite moment, launching off an aircraft carrier in a storm, is actually not even a sequence where the player has any control.
Oh, and then there are quick time events. Terrible terrible quick time events. They feel horribly forced down into the throat of the game, and stick out like a transvestite with a beard at a girl scouts meeting. The sequences usually last maybe 20-40 seconds, and through that time you may be required to press anywhere from one to three buttons, so it's really just watching a (bad) cut scene with the occasional button prompt.
One positive note on the campaign is that it does a great job of showing off many different environments, from the open deserts to the cramped city streets, and through lush fields and forests. It helps keep some variety going and at least you are looking forward to seeing the next level, just for the sake of seeing the setting.
Overall then, if you're playing alone, then there is little reason to pay any heed to Battlefield 3.
But any long time follower of the Battlefield series should know that the heart of a Battlefield game is in the multiplayer. And this is certainly also the case with Battlefield 3.
There is another attempt at stealing Modern Warfare 2's thunder by implementing some missions that you can play co-op with a friend. These drops you into various scenarios from the campaign, with a small tweak, and lets you work together to try to complete the scenario. It is certainly more enjoyable than the singleplayer campaign, but it's still not really anything that is going to set your world on fire (unless you're prone to spontaneous self combustion, in which case you may want to don your asbestos underwear).
Where Battlefield 3 is head and shoulders above the competition, however, is the competitive multiplayer modes. For my money, there is simply no better FPS experience than the one you find in Battlefield 3. The Battlefield series has a proud tradition of making players feel like they're really on a..erm... battlefield.
The sense of destruction and chaos that Battlefield 3 manages to convey in the multiplayer matches is just incredible. You'll be ducking in your chair as you sprint across an open field, running for cover while you hear bullets whizzing by you and explosions from tank shells kick up dirt and smoke uncomfortably close to your feet.
This is made all the better by the patented "Holy crap!" moments that Battlefield multiplayer games are so full of. Like driving towards an enemy objective and suddenly seeing two jets pass by overhead, one of them taking a hit and crashing into the ground 50 meters in front of you in a giant ball of flame and smoke.
Or sniping at a hovering helicopter and getting a lucky headshot on the pilot and seeing the whirlybird crash magnificently into an oncoming enemy jeep.
These are moments that never cease to bring a grin to your face, and in Battlefield 3, you'll probably experience at least one in every match.
There are several different multiplayer modes to test your mettle in. From the capture and hold gameplay of "Conquest", to the objective based "Rush", and the straight up killing frenzy of deathmatches. So no matter what your preferred multiplayer experience is, there should be something in Battlefield 3 to tickle your fancy.
Of course, being a modern multiplayer game, there are plenty of unlocks and leveling to do in Battlefield 3's multiplayer, so if these insane moments of awesome aren't enough to keep you coming back, then maybe the promise of a new unlock will be.
Wrapping up, I have to say that Battlefield 3 is both a tremendous success and a big failure. I feel that EA tried very hard to market Battlefield 3 as both a compelling singleplayer and multiplayer experience, and the game falls flat on its face in that regard.
It appears that Dice are simply not that good at putting together a singleplayer experience, and I almost wish that they had skipped the campaign entirely and focused on multiplayer only.
The campaign is not completely atrocious, but it's bad enough to give people a bad impression of the qualities of Battlefield 3, and I think that is a shame.
The multiplayer is a roaring success, though. This is the next step in modern military multiplayer experience, and I think that the imminent Modern Warfare 3 is going to have a very hard time changing that.
Battlefield 3 is possibly the most fun you can have with your PC and an internet connection. At least the most fun that requires both hands on the controls.
If you have a passionate hate against playing with other people, then there is nothing in Battlefield 3 that you really need to see.
But if you have even a passing interest in multiplayer FPS games, then I implore you to buy Battlefield 3 and join the war. You will not regret it.

Role of The Druid WOW

noreply@blogger.com (Graham Matthews) — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:37:00 +0000

By: Hunter Crowell

Of the many different character classes in WOW, each having a different accepted role, there is one lauded as superior by those who play them, and scoffed at by those around them. There are a few responsibilities that must be filled for a group of adventurers to succeed in a dungeon. There must be a "tank," someone who gets the attention of the monsters they are attempting to kill. A healer is important to keep the group alive. There are damage dealers who are primarily responsible for slaying the monsters in melee or from a distance. Characters in charge of crowd control stall certain targets to make taking down others easier.

Each class generally fills one role with ease and can switch to another if it is needed. The Warrior, for example, is first and foremost a tank. Warriors are given the most abilities to generate and maintain the focus of the foe. But in a group with two warriors, or if another class wants to try their hand at tanking, the warrior can be used as a damage dealer. The WOW Paladin, normally used in instances as a healer and support character, can generate cause enough threat to hold the targets attention.

The Druids of Azeroth, made up of the Night Elf and Tauren populations, have an interesting mix of abilities. To WOW, they are the shape shifting Jack of all Trades. They can heal the party, with efficiency topped only by the Priest. In Cat Form they can deal melee damage and sneak around their enemies with the guile of a Rogue. If shifted into Bear Form, they are capable of performing tanking roll of a Warrior. While in Moonkin Form, they can dole out massive damage by raining down arcane and nature spells on the target. This wide range of abilities makes the druid the ideal member of any party, if one person fails, the druid can switch over to the vacated role and pick up the slack.

This is not often how the party views the situation, however. In small instance groups of five people, the druid is often taken only if they are willing to be a healer, despite their versatility. A druid desiring to fill another role, especially the popular role of damage dealing, is shunned. The WOW developers gave druids certain abilities, such as moon fire or faerie fire, which are very visible spells. These spells have beneficial effects for the group, but a druid casting them on a target will often be ridiculed from the party for 'wasting mana' that should be reserved for healing.

The issue stems from two major problems in WOW. The first is the lack of healer classes. There is only one class out of eight on each faction that is a dedicated healer, the Priest. There are two other classes on each side that are capable of healing, the Paladin for Alliance and Shaman for Horde, then the Druid. The low amount of available healers leads to less players playing them, which feeds right into the next dilemma. The second problem being that most players are too shortsighted to see beyond the Druids healing ability. There are many people with the immutable mindset that if a druid can heal, he should heal. While they are an effective healer, they are quite effective at every other role they can fill as well.

No one would ever accuse Blizzard entertainment of being hasty with their decisions. WOW and their other games have had their release dates pushed back many times. In the past hardcore fans of Blizzard's work know that this delay is for the best, the company labors to produce the finest quality product. The Druid went through months of internal testing and balancing before the concept became a reality. By giving the druid all the basic abilities of a rogue, a warrior, a mage and a priest, it is quite clear they had a greater intention for the class than staple healer.

What’s the difference between Call of Duty: Black Ops and a restaurant?

A restaurant usually has a good host and servers that work.

Apparently it’s frowned upon to bring “personal equipment” to Laser Quest.

I just thought an assault rifle and a few live rounds would’ve livened things up a bit, that’s all.

You know you’ve been playing Halo too much, when the weatherman announces flood risks and you get out a shotgun.

My mate told me today; “You’ll never get a girl if you stay on that computer all the time.”

Tell that to my Runescape girlfriend.

I’m convinced Mario is a hobo.
He wakes up everyday in the same clothes, runs around in sewers, and collects coins for a living.
At the end of the day, he uses the coins to buy mushrooms.

(1) ONLINE GAMING
Play is an important contributor to human development, maturation and learning. That is why games are an essential ingredient in the curriculum of every school and college and also a popular pastime for adults.

This is when the internet comes in as a saviour to all those sports freaks who lack the opportunity.

Yes, online gaming is here to stay! Though computer games have been around for as long as there have been personal computers, online gaming is an increasing pastime and is popular due to the convergence of virtual worlds, games and social networking spiced up with Rich Internet Applications. Thousands of players from all over the world come together in one massive web that knows no team, nationality or boundaries. It is just a one to one challenge in a click’s notice!

The expansion of online games is largely an outcome of easy internet access and ever growing social communities on the net.

Common PS3 Problems and Solutions

noreply@blogger.com (Graham Matthews) — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 19:57:00 +0000

Author: Chad

The PS3 console is a popular household gaming console owned by many. As a PS3 owner you are very likely to experience some common PS3 problems ranging from flashing lights to Red screen or even YLOD (Yellow Light of Death). Some of these common PS3 problems can easily be fixed without invalidating your warranty (if your box is still under one) or having to wait for between 2 - 6 weeks if you send it off to Sony for repairs.

Here are a list of some common PS3 problems:

1. Freezing: Don't panic you can fix this problem by holding the power button down until it powers off. If freezing persists another alternative will be to boot your PS3 into safe mode and try the options here (You can use the last option on the menu to format the entire system and reinstall the firmware, if the previous options on the menu do not resolve the problem).

2. Overheating: This is another common problem with the PS3. Usually this can result from poor ventilation. You will need to ensure that the room is airy enough as well as keep your console away from other heat emitting gadget if possible. If this does not help it is possible that you might be experiencing some hardware issues.

3. Problems Reading discs: If when trying to play a disc you see a blank screen, there are a couple of things you can do. One is to check that your cables are not loosely connected especially the cable that goes from your Blu-Ray drive to the console. You can also clean the disc and try again. Sometimes playing a different media CD or DVD can fix the problem.

4. Video Distortion: Video distortion is another one of those common PS3 problems. The fix for this problem is to check that the cables are properly connected and not damaged. Also a wrong display setting can affect your video quality. This is because PS3 retains the display setting of the last television it was connected to. So when you connect it to a different TV you must remember to reset the video display setting.

5. Blinking Red Light: This might be as a result of either a damaged or loosely connected cable to the console. Check your connections to ensure the cables are properly connected. In case of damages you will need to get a new one. The problem can also result from poor ventilation and accumulation of dust. Take for example you have your fan vents blocked by placing it against the wall. You need to remedy this and clean off any accumulated dust on the console.

6. XMB not Loading?: To fix this problem under your settings, select system settings and restore PS3 system. This should restore your PS3 setting. If not you might require Professional help.

So the next time you have a PS3 problem don't panic or get frustrated.Check to see if you can fix the problem but bear in mind that opening up your console can invalidate is warranty (if your console is still under one).

Learn how to fix your PS3 Problems now.

Funny Dear Garge Letter/ Tall Giraffe

noreply@blogger.com (Graham Matthews) — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 11:35:00 +0000

Dear Garge Letter

A young Newfoundland girl,
on a year training course in South Africa, recently received a "Dear Garge" letter from her boyfriend back home in St. John's. It read as follows:

Dear Mary,

I can no longer continue our relationship. The distance between us is just too great. I must admit that I have cheated on you twice, since you've been gone, and it's not fair to either of us. I'm sorry. Please return the picture of me that I sent to you.

Love,
Garge

Upset, Mary asked her colleagues for any snapshots they could spare of their boyfriends, brothers, ex-boyfriends, uncles, cousins, etc. In addition to the picture of John, Mary included all the other pictures she had collected from her buddies. There were 57 photos in that envelope...along with this note:

Dear Garge,

I'm so sorry, but I can't quite remember who you are. Please take your picture from the pile, and send the rest back to me.

Take Care,
Mary

Following Doctor's orders can be a 'tunderin' experience...

noreply@blogger.com (Graham Matthews) — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 21:33:00 +0000

A Newfie was terribly overweight, so his Doctor put him on a diet.

“I want you to eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for 2 weeks. The next time I see you, you should have lost at least 5 pounds.”

When the Newfie returned, he shocked the Doctor by having lost nearly 60 pounds!

“Why, that's amazing!” the Doctor said, “Did you follow my instructions?”

The Newfie nodded. “I'll tell you though, by the tunderin, I t'aut I were going to drop dead dat 3rd day.”

“From hunger, you mean?”

“No, from skippin'!”
