Let’s Go Raid Some Tombs

by Alxala

I dug up another classic game that I wanted to try out besides Quake: Tomb Raider. Not the DOS version, I’m talking about the Windows DirectX version. I managed to make my way past the first two levels in the game, and what I like about this are Lara’s angry face while she’s shooting and some various cool-looking textures. 😛

I’d say this is one of the best classical third-person shooters in history, and I like the cutscenes in this game too. 🙂

Welcome to the Metro (again)

by Alxala

I played some Metro 2033 Redux last night, and it looks quite similar to the original. What I like about this game is it has various features throughout the game like notes that are scattered around in different areas, keys and safes, weapon customizing, and it even has a feature that I can wipe blood off my gas mask. Now that is bloody good! 🙂 The graphics in this game look so nice just like in the original. Some weapons have different firing sounds like the automatic shotgun and the AK-47, and Artyom’s voice sounded completely different compared to the original.

I was hoping for Metro Exodus to become available soon so I can add it to my Steam library.

Tuesday Road Trip Open Thread

by Alxala

Today was a nice day. My family and I went out on another Coos Bay road trip to go grab some clam chowder, fish and chips at a restaurant called The Crazy Norwegian. That stuff is extremely finger-licking delicious. 🙂 Oh, while we were heading back to our homestead, we pulled over and I got out my camcorder and took nice pictures of a great sunset at the beach and a boat out on the water:

So anyways, our really long road trip went well as always. 😀

Happy Birthday to me!!!

We went out to an Irish pub restaurant on my birthday tonight, and we had some fish and chips plus cocktail drinks for Tomala, Papa Smurf and me. 😀 Plus we had cake and ice cream for dessert after we returned home. Here’s a picture of my birthday cake:

Yep, my birthday is going smooth as silk. 🙂

Friday Open Thread with moar cat pix!

by Alxala

It was another decent night from here. I decided to continue Shadow Warrior and managed to complete the eighth chapter after eviscerating dozens of killer demons and found more secrets along the way. I think I’ll get back into some more Wang Time whenever I feel like unleashing my inner Wang. 😛

Oh, I did get more nice camcorder photos of the adorably handsome kitteh duo:

Anyways, let’s get this Open Thread going tonight!

In tonight’s post: Epic Fails on Ellen’s ‘Game of Games’

by Alxala

After I played some Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and a few other games that I’ve recently played like Portal Stories: Mel, Quake and Tomb Raider, I was watching a video from the Ellen DeGeneres Show that includes various ‘Game of Games’ contestants giving the wrong answers and failing miserably:

I lol’d at the one part right at the very end where a female contestant plays a game called Hot Hands, where you can win money by guessing the correct name of the famous celebrity shown in the picture, but she fails to reach $100,000 and tells Ellen she’s sorry so many times because she doesn’t know any correct celeb names just about. 😛
