Thanks to the holiday sales I’ve got a bunch of new goodies to go over with you. Stay tuned for a write up on these little diddies, with some gamplay viewable at twitch.tv/serinitism and youtube.com/syntheticx Alien Isolation GRID Autosport Metal Gear Rising Revengeance Octodad Dadliest Catch Ryse Son of Rome Shadow Of Mordor There is so much to love about the latest set of games. The nextgen systems have hit and the high quality textures are flowing. The graphics are amazing, incredibly detailed. 4K is almost native and you can even use some NVidia magic to render at 2 or…
Cyberlink MediaEspresso v7 is a CROCK!
JUNK! First I was unable to convert to h265 and then it can’t read my FRAPs recorded videos?!! For FSM sake, even Microsoft Movie Maker can read them. So lame. They call it “next gen” and “easy to use tool” Media Espresso v7 which is $39.99 “retail price” but it was so conveniently included with my $70 Cyberlink Power DVD v14.
Extra Life | Gaming for Charity | Donation Drive
Hey everyone, felt like doing something good with my time so I figured I’d drum up some possible donations and such. There will be various tiers, of benefits depending on the amount, but seriously a dollar is support. Of course after $20… things get interesting. 1.) Live hangout of the event. You can be part of it, or you can simply watch it. 2.) Sponsorship. I will wear your shirt, or you may sponsor a section of a shirt. I’ll mention your cousins name in the live feed, substitute their name for any curses… that sort of thing. 3.) Choice…
Back to Basics
I have spent 6 months of Elder Scrolls Online-ing. It ended last night. Because of the solitary game mentality that subscription games give me I have not played much else. As it ended yesterday I’ve been looking through my available collection, and because my physical collection is packed at the moment — that leaves Steam and any other digital versions of games I have. I’ve been trying to revisit some games played, but not completed. Well, Tomb Raider is completed but still had the save where I was going back to get all the little shiny jimmies. It’s SO pretty…

It’s Official: Next Car Game is… Wreckfest.
True to its name — and a wonderful combination of physics and artistry. Tonight I played it with a force feedback wheel and it was amazing. It plays wonderfully too, which is more than I can say for Carmageddon but they appear to be holding back so I expect improvements to performance when they roll theirs out.

Superpoints
You know those things that promise rewards for basic things like surveys or offers? I found a legit one, for reals. You’ve got all that plus a wheel like thing you can try 10 times a day. So far I have gotten a ton of points, $10 amazon gift card and $25 target card, and that’s just off the wheel alone. Give it a shot, sign up, spin the wheel. Keep going if you like but otherwise there’s no commitment and always a chance to download an app or something else for some extra points redeemable for all sorts of…
The other side of Elder Scrolls Online
Horses and catapults and castles. It’s always been my dream since I was little. I had Legos to build the castles and countless battles on their walls. Entire stories would unfold on that coffee table. It is only now why I realize it couldn’t just stay set up there all the time. I have enjoyed the knights and castles games of previous yore, experienced the endless grind of WoW and played anything that smelled of questing. Oblivion won me over with it’s expanse, it’s lore. The story is told nowhere else other than though the game, many games, which all…
XBOX 360 PC Wireless Gaming Receiver – Drivers for knockoff
I bought the thing on ebay, exactly like this guy did. Essentially here are the steps: – (optional) I already had it installed because I’m replacing the legit receiver but you can: Install the official software: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/xbox-360-wireless-controller-for-windows – Start -> Search for “Device Manager” -> Open it – Find the “Unknown Device” -> right click -> properties – Driver -> Update driver -> Browse my computer -> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer – Double click “All devices” -> Search for “Microsoft” in the left pane and select it -> Search for “XBox 360…
Emulation Nation
I spent much of today scouring the internet (it wasn’t that hard) for ROMs. I have NES and SNES on lockdown, I believe I have 99% of the NES and maybe 85% of the SNES. Choice Genesys, 32X and during my last ROM run a few months prior I even found Dreamcast and PSX. I have all these systems, but they’re in storage, all nicely tucked away not taking up any actual room. I’ve been wanting to play some older stuff but they’re so low bit being blown up to modern TV size doesn’t really make it any more visible.…
Titanfall not so much of a Titan.
Found this old unpublished post and wanted to get it out there. I did end up getting the full game for,y birthday after it came out because my son wanted to watch me play. ~~~~~~~~ Pre:release thoughts on the beta: I don’t feel like I was as impressed with Titanfall as I should have been. I think people are still going gaga for it, I haven’t checked in again to even see if the beta is still up and running. I played it a bit, I wanted to give it a fair shake but it really felt far too COD…
