So I'm back from Vancouver, was a blast, seen some shit, not actually gonna talk about it in this post so deal.
Apparently when I was gone I missed a few developments in the gaming community. So in this post I'm just going to put together a few things I thought were pretty cool.
First, obviously, has to be all the fucking Half Life 3 conspiracies. From promotional graphics on shit and that fuckin post from Gamescom about it being announced that was apparently a "mistake". Just like dropping those dev iPhone's in bars was a "mistake" huh? And there was that guy on Reddit who posted a bunch of pictures of possible concept art for HL3. Anyway, I'm not even gonna bother posting links to any of this shit because anyone reading this for whatever reason has undoubtedly heard about this, or can go fucking Google it.
Second! A new Heart of the Swarm Battle Report with Day[9] and that Blizzard Dev who's name I can't remember right now came out. Go youtube that shit. It looks pretty sick to me, I've been a fan of Starcraft for a long time and although I've never been particularily good at the game, the gameplay changes in HOTS looks more substantial than I imagined and should bring some exciting new twists to the game. Also the campaign will hopefully be awesome. Also the Brotoss look awesomely OP with Tempests and Mothership Cores now which is great.
Third, uh what else happened.. I had a whole list of shit in my head but I didn't write it down because this isn't fucking english class.
Uh, well Diablo 3 just became a casual's game. Following in the steps of WoW, D3 is now free to play up to the skeleton king / level 13. IMO, this was a huge mistake by Blizzard. I mean the game has only been out for like 3 months now (wow like 3 months exactly today, that's kinda cool) and it was already tailored to the masses with every mode except inferno. This is the kind of thing you might release with an expansion pack maybe a year down the road to try and bring in those people who skipped the game but might consider giving it a second chance. You don't do that shit 3 months in Blizzard! Everyone knows about the game still, it was pretty hard to miss you even had TV commercials! And you've had nothing but bad press about it! From dupers, and bots, and people losing money, and chinese gold farmers, and all that shit. What you should be focussing on is fixing these problems, listening to your current audience so you can better the game, and NOT trying to bring in more players. Jesus Christ, I never even really got a chance to play the game and I'm still unhappy with what it's becomming.
What else? Well you see that motherfuck at the top of this post? His badass motherfuckin ruby red cape? Those souless unforgiving eyes? You know this kid? So many feels if you do man, so many feels.
For those who don't, that's "The Kid" from the game "I Wanna Be The Guy: The Movie: The Game"
This game, alongside cat mario (fuck cat mario), is one hard ass game. I spent a month of my life beating this game on fucking normal mode (AKA easy mode because it was the lowest difficulty) with a friend of mine. I still don't know why I did but it happened.
It's basically just a box full of rage that you try hard to impress so you can tell yourself you're good at things so you can sleep at night, also it was designed to rape your 'R' key.
Well guess what? Now there's a sequel!
I'll link this because you may not have heard of it!

I Wanna Be The Guy: Gaiden

I only found this game because I stumbled onto a TotalBiscuit video of him playing it. Please note I am not a fan of TotalBuscuit... He's not entertaining, he's not good at games, and his accent annoys the shit out of me (He kept pronouncing Gaiden like "Guy-Dan" and I wanted to shoot myself). I only found this in the related videos from a Nerd cubed video (This guy is pretty decent and he just hit 100,000 subs you should go check him out)
Wow this is a long post.
Bunch of other shit gaming related happened that I thought was cool but I don't really feel like writting about them.
Amnesia: China Town Wars showed some development stuff. TF2 Mann vs. Machine looks pretty cool, I feel like everyone is really excited about this but I've never really been into TF2, it just seems too casual. And yeah other stuff, but whatever I'm tired of this topic now.
Good bye.
