The Bastard Gamer: Final Fight Streetwise

By The Bastard Gamer

(You want another smack?)

You know, if you actually sit down for a few minutes, put aside all the negative bullshit this game gets from gaming websites give it, and try to ignore that it steals shitty elements from the GTA series, and you got yourself a pretty impressive action game.

I also apologize for the lack of videos lately, my job has been keeping my free time so low that I only have just enough free time between college and work to sleep.

The Fallout 3 Experience Part #1

By OD

( If you’re a addicted to it, why not write about it! )

Hello Readers! And welcome to “The Fallout 3 Experience!” This is an article that goes through what the player and I would think and go through during the game. So let’s start with the basics. Fallout 3 is an Free-Roaming Action/RPG that was made by Bethesda Game Studios, and they’re the same mind’s behind Oblivion, matter of fact, they are using the Oblivion engine in Fo3, but it’s been upgraded very drastically.

Fallout 3 takes place in post-apocalyptic Washington D.C in the year 2277. Man is at it’s knee’s in agony and the world is filled with raiders, mutants, wild beasts, and people just trying to survive. You play the role of a Vault dweller who escapes from “The Vault” (A massive under-ground shelter that is housed by a community of people and was built for whenever the nuke’s hit the ground). You have the chance of choosing your characters name, sex, skin color, look, attitude, and stats.

During this article there may be parts in the game that will spoil the story of Fallout 3, if you are planning to play Fallout 3 in the future; then I highly recommend you black out all the stuff that’s going to spoil the story for you. Or you can just read it and white-wash yourself after reading.

Misc. Gaming – Chuck Norris in Fallout 3

By OD

(Left 4 Dead and Fallout 3 should not be taken together, for it may cause an addictive habbit of playing both constantly)

*sigh* While there hasn’t been a new comic up for awhile, I have a good reason why I haven’t made one recently. I mean, I’m addicted to the 2 greatest games to come out this year. Well…..addiction was never a good thing really. ANYWAY! Fallout 3 and Left 4 Dead are just plainly fun and addicting. And that’s why it’s been so hard for me to make a comic! I mean I’ve never played a game that dragged me in, and I could never put it down until the very little ounce of strength in my body had to say “stop”. I keep saying “Oh hey I’m gonna play this game for only an hour then work on the comic!” But instead I spent the whole day playing Fallout 3 and Left 4 Dead. Is it my fault that after I work I wanna go home play Left 4 Dead and just shoot some zombies in the head? Or launch an RPG at an old lady in Fallout 3?

So you already know how awesome Left 4 Dead is, let’s switch over to why Fallout 3 is awesome. 1 reason why it’s awesome. Is because it has Chuck Norris in it. Enjoy!

Under the Knife – Desert Strike (SNES/Genesis)

MY AVATAR (GONZO)by Beeslo

(zombie wants gggggaaammmeeessss)

undertheknifegamesLet’s take a moment and look back to the age of videogames that existed during the early 90′s. Families were split. Friendships destroyed. Groups of people divided. It was a turbulent time during the Nintendo/Sega War. I was a Nintendo fanboy to the core. Mario vs. Sonic? Well, one battled an evil, obese scientist and the other battled a fire-breathing dragon/dinosaur/turtle tyrant who has spikes on his back. Exactly.

But I did have some friends who owned a Sega Genesis, deep in denial over their silly purchase (3 buttons? Wimps. Try six.) but one of my misguided pals did have one certain game that I instantly fell in love with. Nope. Not Vectorman, Sonic or any other lame Genesis game. But an awesome game called Desert Strike. Read More…

This moment of amusement I shall pass unto you tonight in the form of an award. So without further adieu I present

Under the Knife – Berserk

By OD

( Does man control his own destiny? Or does God? )

Quiet possibly. The best anime ever. Berserk was an amazing anime that delivered both action and drama with a stunning effect of making audiences cry in awe and woe. If you haven’t seen this anime yet, you are missing out!

The Berserk anime is based off the Japanese manga created by Kentaro Miura in 1989, and is still ongoing with over 300 books. The anime wasn’t made until 1997 and was shipped off to  televisions across the world. The anime follows up the first 100 issue’s of the Manga, and is more like a large prolouge rather than a story. And while the Manga is based soley on Paranormal beings, Berserk is more based on the nature of humanity and war. But there are still paranormal assets in the anime that follow up to the manga and plays a large role. Berserk is very well known for it’s intense gore and action, and it’s very unique way of showing drama, but the drama doesn’t give you that sick “oh we know what they are gonna say or do already” stomach feeling like what you would see in watching a Soap Opera. The anime is heavily famed by anime fans and casual watchers of anime and fan art, cos-players, and franchise’s can prove just how much people love this anime. And it’s not a fad anime at all like, Naruto or Inuyasha even though they suck. Berserk is basically like “The Godfather” to movie lovers, as Berserk is to Anime lovers.

The Rant: A Game Can Too Make You Cry

By GamerChris

(So seriously ill…)

So, I’m currently freezing my butt off, coughing up a lung and my nose is exploding every 5 seconds (Now that’s a visual…) but I recently (and by recently I mean 2 minutes ago) came across a blog article talking about how games have never made you cry or at least, talking about crying because of a game is pointless. I would like to say that this claim is not exactly true. In fact, it’s a totally relevant discussion and crying because of a video game has been present in the history of video games.

Lets All Go to the Movies – The Punisher: War Zone

rusty2

By: Rusty (I came here to do the Superbowl Shuffle)

movies

Last friday yet another Punisher movie opened in theatres. Punisher: War Zone has nothing to do with the 04′ Punisher movie, as it is yet another reboot. The film stars Ray Stevenson (who was in Rome, an great TV series) and Dominic West. Stevenson plays the role of The Punisher, while West takes up the part of Jigsaw (one of The Punisher’s few recurring enemies). This movie is  extremely bloody and gory, much like the current Punisher MAX comic series. Does all this add up to a better Punisher movie than the first two? Yes it does. Read More…

Nurse Joy’s HealingTouch News: Updates


by Nurse Joy
(SUMIMASEN!)

Hi folks, just wanted to make this quick. We apologize for the ever decreasing amount of post counts. With the American economy in it’s current status many people are losing jobs and/or struggling to keep their jobs. Many of our writer’s can no longer afford the luxury to have free time and write whenever they feel like it, or even be able to keep up with their schedules.

We thank you all for your support, and we will continue to write articles, but unfortunately they will not be as frequent as you are used to. But, never fear, hopefully in the somewhat near future (a few months) things will get back into gear and we’ll be a pumping out fresh content for you on a daily basis.
