Posted by spiii on December 15th, 2011 @ 23:10Nana-nana nana-nana nana-nana-na — BATMAN!
Seen spiii playing nothing butBatman Arkham City and wondered—“is he gonna spend the whole Summer of Ben 2011 playing only one game?” Perhaps. But is it a game for everyone? There is only one way to find the answer—switch on detective mode, it’s time to compare heroines!
| Weapon of choice | |
|---|---|
 This kitty has claws |  Zoey’s trademark pistols |
| Shoes make the man | |
 Knee-high kickers |  Runners |
| The hunt is on! | |
 Catwoman is a hunter |  Zoey is the hunted |
| All tied up | |
 Catwoman ties ’em up |  Zoey is constricted! |
| Kiss the boys and make them cry | |
 Kiss + trip critical strike |  Not that again! |
| Best in Lego | |
 Official Batman Lego and an official Lego Batman game |  Minifig excellence—but no Lego game! |
| Best fan video | |
| Stunt studio remake | Fake movie trailer |
| Random quote | |
 Arkham thug: [window shatters offscreen] It’s Batman! [Catwoman walks into view] Arkham thug: What the h**l? Catwoman: Sorry to disappoint you boys. It’s just little ol’ me. |  Francis: Hey, watch out for that Steam pipe. Zoey: Man, I love Steam. Francis: Yeah, Steam’s alright, I guess. |
So isBatman Arkham City worth your dosh? (What is dosh anyway?)
If saying “I’m Batman!” every day to friends, family and social networks is as important to you as it is to me, then you are probably Bajo yes.
Holiday LAN time!
Posted by spiii on November 29th, 2011 @ 13:14After tofu fell asleep at work, I realised it was time to go on holidays!! And holidays means LANS!
LanSmash have announced SantaSmash 2011 which may or may not involve Nintendo Sixty-FOOOOUUURRRR! It’s the 10–11 December weekend.
No official word yet on Auld Lan Syne III, however my money’s on a mashup that mixes classic lanning with a euphonium-powered nerf war. Even google cannot tell you exactly what that is, but if you watch these 2 videos simultaneously you will get the idea…
Possibly a new trailer for SWTOR

Like all the important stuff, you’ll find it on geekologie.

happy holidays folks!
neat twist

I wonder if there *is* a Twilight MMO?
Turn the brightness up.
j/k I dunno what it would be. how’d you post a screenie if you can’t see?
For the rest of us, there’s always youtube!
what’s the verdict?
I thought the opening cinematics were awesome, although a little long (watching isn’t playing after all!). Sadly, they stole the show from the in-game graphics, which look pretty dated. Like Jedi Academy quality (which was good looking in 2003). Worth watching the cinematics though, the production values there were awesome!
I went with Sith and got given a practice sword. That put paid to my early hopes of yelling “I’M FIRING MUH LASER SABRE!” I picked a class with dual wielding light sabres. Not practice sticks
There is a dance emote, but it is not as good as /jig in global agenda.
I guess this is more classic RPG control based? I know now how much I prefer RPS over RPG. Let me point and click to shoot—not point and click to select and spam 1, 1, 1, on the keyboard to swing a practice stick. Wah! I was expecting gameplay like Jedi Academy (which is awesome).
It probably gets better when you get light sabres and spaceships. I assume you get that by grinding.
I liked the first couple of missions in the jeddi faction better than the sith. The sith have to run around in a temple killing crab worms. Also, all the other sith are unfailingly polite in their polished British accents, even when making threats. I expected to see more force choking!
The jeddi get to run around a forest killing large pig-men and rescuing holocron discs. They are pretty much exactly what you’d expect.
I haven’t seen enough to judge the quality of the story.
I don’t have any RPG cred, but I played both Witcher 1 and 2 this year. This game plays like Witcher 1. Witcher 2 kicks butt in every aspect: graphics, controls, fighting, bad-assery.
Sorry Ali! :]
Did you get further into it? What were the highlights?
I don’t think we’ll really know if it’s worth it until we can compare Zoey and Chewie in a blog post
and I’ll look at it the year following that, when it goes free to play and I can afford it ~:)
BF3 is so 2011! GTA V is where it’s at!
