Gaming: Alien vs Predator

STORY TRAILER

This is the latest storyline trailer by Rebellion on Alien vs Predator. Just when you thought the game had no storyline, well, this trailer will put the naysayers to rest. Lance Henrikson continues to spook and whoop us with his fatherly mercenary type voice and I (as a fan) welcome it. Who else is better suited to play the role of Bishop other than the man himself? Oh man, I can't wait for this game to come out. The gaming world needs its AvP goodness back.

Castle Age on Facebook

With a minimum amount of coaxing, my friend managed to get me to play Castle Age and for now, I find the game interesting enough to keep me playing. I just downed my first summoned boss, which yielded a nice finisher story which you can read below. Btw, my character's name is Capricious Bull.

"Gildamesh sweeps his axe in large arcs as he rushes at you and Celesta. Celesta dodges his blows but suddenly falls backward as she trips on the jagged rocks below you. The Orc King grins. Your party is busy fighting his minions. You know this has to end soon. With blinding speed, the Orc King raises his axe and rushes at you again.

You dodge swing after swing until you are cornered. The Orc King raises his axe and brings it down. Suddenly you see Kiana rush up from the side and deflect his blow. Maximilian comes up from behind and bashes his shield on the Orc King. Your friends have defeated his minions! You take the opportunity to attack!

You stun Gildamesh with the blunt side of your weapon and with a quick motion, you bring your weapon down a second time, piercing his armor.

Gildamesh Grunts: You've proved yourself a worthy adversary, Capracious Bull...But we shall meet again!

A burst of intense light blinds you and suddenly, the Orc King is gone.

You have defeated the Orc King and already claimed the Crystal of Fire. Now it is time to journey to the Land of Earth and search for the Crystal of Earth."

Updates

So after a long time of not updating my blog here are some updates:

Modern Warfare 2

Believe it or not I have abstained myself from buying this game simply because of the shoddy response they are giving to PC gamers in regards to their no community dedicated server stance. I heard a lot of good reviews on the game though, which I know is true. Anyway, just putting my foot down on Infinity Ward's stance even though I know it won't matter in the long run.

RIP WIFI Router Modem

My router modem got fried last night when I was surfing the net during a storm which I thought was letting up. Apparently it didn't as it gave a lightning strike near the vicinity of my house, tripping the circuits and my router modem literally popped. Suffice to say, I could only stand half an hour without the net before I went to the nearest mall to get myself a replacement. Phew, all is right with the world when I finally got my net back.

Games I am playing

I gotten back to playing Champions Online after some week of absence. I have stopped playing Dragon Age: Origins because it something I always go through with deep RPGs. I have to stop myself because I tend to always want to restart the game (I want a perfect character, dammit!). So I stopped and played a bit of Torchlight and now I am back on Champions Online.
