standing in the shower….thinkin

So I am sitting here at my computer wondering what I can talk to you about…about our game.

And then it dawns on me…wtf am I doing? I am actually trying to come up with content; I should just talk about what’s on my mind and see if anyone out there can connect.

I mean s%$@; we all are gamers here yeah?

Halo 3….are you REALLY excited or do you actually THINK you’re excited because its “Halo” and everyone loves “Galooooo” and if you don’t you are considered “insane” or just an idiot who doesn’t know better.

Me?…
feh…I want to see the world they built, I want to see how much more immersive I can get inside this universe and really…that’s it.

Halo 2 to me was thin, multiplayer is insane and I love it and I cry tears of wonderment and joy whenever I play over my buddy Raymond’s house on one of the 15 big screens in the house, yes it’s that sick and yes it’s the most godly experience next to this, that you can actually get.

But really….it was thin…when you played the game for the story and you really PLAYED it …feh

It looked rushed, it felt rushed, don’t get me wrong. Bungie is an extremely talented group of individuals, but I’d bet they wince in certain areas of that game.

We all do.

Everyone whose ever made a video game that was not under the perfect conditions: a fat schedule, a healthy budget etc etc.

a Bioshock is a great example of something that lived up to the hype. Bioshock to me is game of the year…no…game of the next 2 years.

Yeah that’s right…I said 2 YEARS!!! It’s that good. And so what that it’s basically System Shock 2, its a great ride. The world hooked me in and made me forget whatever s@!#$% thing was going on in my normal real life.

I get like that with Turning Point, but for a different reason. For me, it’s because I am connecting with it. Being a native New Yorker I connect with the situation that arrives in Manhattan in our game. I feel like my home is being taken over by hostiles.

I don’t know, it’s odd. Something as small as a games context can make you immerse yourself and forget about the day.

I got into videogames because I wanted to give people something that would take them away for awhile. Something that would help people just escapes for a while, like a good book, album or movie. Hopefully I can make some of you “escape” for a while, that to me…would be the greatest reward for a job well done.

I’m recording some stuff this week; if anything is worthy I will post it here for you. Please bear with me…..I am just getting into video editing and what not on the pc for real now. So the old hack methods I used to do…just won’t cut it.

I want to post some footage of me running around in the game and then post it here. Let me know if you wanna see it and more specifically WHAT you wanna see.

New York levels?

Washington levels?

England maybe? hmmm…..so many choices
