Why does Valve always make good games
I did a study on how Valve makes the best games and my results were that Valve has the best video game makers who know how to make the best video games.
So I dunno, maybe if you can get REALLY good video game makers, you can make good games. I'm sure there's some other dynamic variables, statistics, and number crunching algorithms as to how to make a good video game. But I think it all goes back to being good at making video games, which is what Valve does.
So for you nerds out there, I did this math problem for you
(v)*(vg^m+g)/(vg)=
Thanks friends!

left 4 dead
i like a lot of things about it, i love the sniper, the lvl 2 shotty, the boomer, the witch, the tank, gas tanks, subway cars, dismemberment, pipe bombs, saying i found a pipe bomb that looks like a bike, bill, louis, shoving and shooting, headshots, healing, and duel wielding.
but what i love most of all is the community. sure pushing a hunter off a buddy of mine is pretty cool cause its like "HAI AMIGO THIS HELPING 'CHTHER THING IS MEGA SUGOI AMIRITE?! ^U%"
but when you start a game making fun of a guys screen name and end it feeling like youve really survived a apocalypse while still being a jerk the whole time talking about halo and smash bros is really cool. for me, BITCH!
and i think what does it is the frequency of boss zombies who keep reminding you, hey broo i jut got smoked help me the fuck out! not many games make you feel so important, something valve seems to make a practice of hl2 and tf2 being other examples.
basically if you want me to feel like im playing a bad ass game make me feel as though if i wasnt in your make believe world all hell would break loose. other games like halo or mario make me feel like, if i die they can just send in a squad of soldiers or luigi.
i need to feel as though im their only hope, i want to be obi wan. to make tyler happy just make the premise on the back of the box sound cool

When FPS' are "bad ass".
Killing every single demon that walked out of Hell and destroyed your space station on Mars? No, that's not nearly good enough. Afterwards, you walk straight into Lucifer's doorway and blow every god damn demon, succubus, and Cyberdemon back to fucking Jesus Christ himself. All for the sake of saying you wrecked Hell with just a double-barreled shotgun.
Or maybe planet earth did get invaded by aliens. Maybe they were more powerful in numbers, intelligence, willpower, and strength than every single human ever. All except Serious Sam, whom steamrolls the entire fucking race carrying a monolith that shoots cannon balls at 88 m/ph, all while wearing a white t-shirt and jeans. Look at that SERIOUS face.
What about a bad ass who already died? That's not gonna stop Daniel Garner, who sets up a deal with Mysterious Faggot from Faggotville to kill all of Hell's strongest generals with a laserropesawblade, a freezerayautoshotgun, a shurikenthrowinglightninggenerator, or a jesuschristfuckingminigunturretrocketlauncherareyoufuckingkidd
ingme. God wins, again.
Or maybe, just MAYBE, it's a summer afternoon, doing your daily jazzercises, baking some bagels, and having a generally super day. Until you get teleported to an arena designed by Satan's personal cabinet, and get blown up within half a second before you realize you're somehow ressurected, and then get blown up again. You try and figure out what the fuck is happening before some guy, who you're pretty sure is smoking a cigar, jumps - yes jumps - faster than freeway traffic and blows your head off with a shotgun. Then you're ressurected and this repeats itself around 30 times until you realize you have no more aspirations, goals, desires, or purpose to live anymore. Your only choice, is to kill. Your only goal, is to kill. Your only desire, is to kill. Your aspiration, is to kill the best. Kill them good.
Oh, but those are old games. Damn those are old. They're not good anymore. If you like them, you suck. Because they're old. The definition of old is: not quality; the opposite of quality; shit. So what's a NEW bad ass game? Something that breaks the boundaries of awesome, you ask?
This game. THIS game. Are you serious? Seriously? Yeah I am. What's more badass than my step-father, that guy who belongs in Office Space, a bi-curious tattoo salesman, and some sandwich making bitch putting away those retarded stereotypes I just made up, because the entire country's been infected with a virus that makes them want to kill everything that's not them. Not eat, not rape, not infect, kill. By the by, only you guys and probably 0.5% of the population are naturally immune. So what you gonna do?
I tell you what you gonna do. You gonna take a pistol, a med pack, some pills, and a gun of your choice to blow away every fucking zombie that comes within 5 miles of you. You will be strangled, vomited on, and fucked in every orifice, but most of all, you will survive. You'll survive when sixty zombies break through a wall you thought was safe from breaking. You'll survive when that retard sets off the car alarm and you have no med packs, no pills, and are hopelessly limping on one leg. You'll survive when you hear the deafening scream of the horde come at you, and ONLY you, because everyone else is dead. You'll survive when the director decides to be a dick and have a smoker strangle you away from the group, with boomer vomit following suit.
You'll also survive when this will happen differently every single time the game is played, but is no less challenging. It's four people against the world, and it is bad ass.

So lately!
- Final Fantasy IX is so good. Zidane/Kuja would be one of the best main characters/villains in the Final Fantasy saga if they didn't have the most retarded/homoerotic designs ever. It's neat though. Not too many random encounters, not too much grindan, old school setting, cool characters, cool music, cool story, bro.
- Prop 8: Hodie - I HATE ALL MARRIAGE
- I really need to work on school stuff.
- Mother 3 translation is out holy shit. This game has like awesome music and I like to listen to it. Good writing too. The Staff did an incredible job. Let's just hope now that Nintendo doesn't re-release Mother 3 and instead make a Mother 4. I honestly think Mother 3 does a lot more things right than Earthbound; so it does exactly what I'd expect from a sequel. Earthbound is still awesome though in it's own respects.
- I've been playing more StarCraft lately. I might wanna get good this time.
- I've been saying this to everyone for awhile now, but I really want just one MMO that dominates the market that's NOT World of Warcraft. MMORPG's are a fantastic genre that've brought some of the most memorable video game moments in my time. However, with video games being a business business, MMOs bring in the most revenue due to its subscription based play. There's like 50 thousand Mumorpaguhs out there(free and not free), and when you spread the player-base around like that it kind of takes away the 'massive' feel. Plus MMOs have been using the same god damn formula since Everquest, Asheron's Call, Anarchy Online, and Ultima Online which I consider to still be the best of the genre. And those were in their prime like 10 years ago.
- My life's that of a teenager. Ergo it's not very difficult or interesting, like at all. So I don't have much to say about me. In 20 years or so I see myself dead, because I killed myself. Before that I think I was homeless or not going to college and having a minimum wage job. Or maybe I moved to Florida and continued to be unlikeable and have no friends. When in Rome!

Nintendo: October 2nd Press Conference

Freeware Games: Survival Crisis Z
^FUCKING STUPID^
You play as a guy who shoots undead things with guns. Or blows them up with things that blow up. Either way, you get set in this haunted randomized city with safe houses and not-safe houses scattered around. You can enter every building, in which you can scavenge for food, materials, money, guns and ammo or whatever. You'll come across some random hordes of zombies as you're exploring. Shoot them. You can talk to safe house owners to trade, get a random mission for money, or to compromise. By compromise I mean take the safe house over. When this happens however, it's just you against a horde of zombies that come in through every single hole in the wall of the building. If you can defend it, you get the safe house along with all the bonuses (a ready squad, you get money per zombie kill, etc.)
You can also make a bunch of shit to wreck with. Turrets and Molotov cocktails are a few examples.
The game's use of sound is crazy, which totally makes up for its graphics department. You have to play for yourself.
At midnight game-time, the city gets fucked up and you'll get teleported in and out of a silent hill-esque area. Shit is scary.
You're scary.
This game is scary - -
scary AWESOME
Only works with XP though.
http://skasoftware.com/files/scz.exe
Oh yeah there's also an arcade mode where you just keep shooting zombies with pick-ups and stuff. Just play the game already god damn.
I'M OUT
God damn bitches

television was called books
i don't even like reading these days because there is nothing shocking: i'm just going to read infinite Jest over and over. when i'm reading real literature/articles/news i read so quick and i get to like twothirds-done and i stop because i understand the meaning of the literature/point of the article/relevance of the news: the end of things seems like insurance-of-beliefs for everyone around me
class feels like seven hours of being chained-down so i can't work to make money to buy bad things. but now with this new feeling about reading i don't even enjoy outside of class enough anymore.
last night when i went out to write and be drunk and cold all i could feel like was this:
'I DON'T KNOW YOU GUYS, BEING GOD IS A BIG RESPONSIBILITY
"I've just got this thing to show you. You have to come and see it."
"I have a bus to catch."
"You can get the next one."
"They're every half an hour," he objected.
"Please stay. You never stay."
"This had better be worth some of my time."
"Darling, just..."
Arnold was then just-inside the still swinging-doorway when his wife, whose face was still tear-stainedly-red whipped into their bedroom. He sighed. She passed through the hallway calmly, her footsteps even and relaxed; he didn't look up until she thrust the pocket-sized catharsis into his free hand, which, electrified by the sterility of the plastic, jolted up quickly to his eyeline for inspection. Behind it he thought he may have seen her teeth sneaking from the corners of her widening-lips.
"Wait, the plus means pregnant?"
While the months of resentment and true "getting-to-know-one-another-via-living-with-each-other-and-being-married" were to be turniqueted by embracing-arms, a jet-plane crushed their ceiling and smashed right into their bodies.'

This is a graph showing increase in dopamine levels in the brain over time after being administered cocaine. if you'll notice, the dopamine levels actually rise just before being administered the cocaine also, clearly demonstrating something. Also! lincoln would be way grosser to fuck than douglas, it's not even questionable. this circle thing shows the demographic clientele ratio for public transportation. i've never understooden how 2% of the planet can just be 'other.' also what is 'home.' while you're think about science, get some andrew jackson:

SPORE: Before you buy.
- It's getting pirated out of every oriface.
- 8 hour game to Space Stage, even if you spend time creating shit.
- It's exactly as they promised, which might seem like a lot, but every phase is a dumbed down mini-game.
- It's fun seeing your friend's creatures and creations, and space stage is actually kind of fun.
- Super underwhelming. Over hyped by the consumers, not the developers.
- 8/10.
- I love you.

gaming worse than farting? we'll look into the subject at 11 o'clock
Freeware Games: Knytt and Knytt Stories
So, many of you have probably heard of the Grand Theft Auto series. The series is famous for the immense amounts of controversy surrounding the adult content while still being partly available to minors.
Oh hey, Earth to press? Hello? I'd like to inform you about a "game" called Knytt.
I mean, I've been on the internet. I've been using the internet for over 7 years in fact, so I'm basically an internet adept (or whatever you security programmers call it).
And I've seen some things.
But holy Christ.
Brace yourself.
Let's take a look at the main character for Knytt Stories.
Oh god. Oh fuck. I get sick just looking at that. I mean not only is the character in the nude, but look at the expression on its face. It's that terrible mix of pride and arrogance that makes you really think about our world today. Perhaps he caused 9/11. Perhaps he is the one keeping tobacco legalized. Perhaps he is responsible for the dark forces that motivate the sick intentions of pedophiles. Oh I know that feeling. It feels as if your dick is about to cry. Those aren't tears.
So you may ask, with such an appallingly explicit character design, what could you possibly do in this game? Well I'll tell you straight up, no bullshit, no strings attached, no fluff, this is exactly what you do:
Explore.
Let that settle in the kettle for a moment, I know. What kind of game would just have you explore? What incentive could their possibly be? Well fucking hold tight, cause I'll tell you.
So your main character is relaxing after, what can only be assumed, a rampage of killing deer, throwing away blank sheets of paper, and creating greenhouse gases. Out of nowhere, a latino time-traveling immigrant comes on a futuristic airship, bringing future technologies, philosophies, books, and ways only to better our lives.
Of course, Knytt isn't gonna have any of this.
Without hesitation, he throws sticks, rocks, and his mother's favorite china at our poor amigo, which inevitably leads to his ship exploding. The latino, firmly believing in a little thing called justice, tells Knytt to go and find all the ship's pieces or else he'll scold the young boy, perhaps a few spankings. Knytt only laughs in his face at this remarkably tame and good-mannered punishment, right before you gain control over the game. From here, you basically explore the entire world in search for the parts, only to sell them on the black market. The areas you explore are absolutely breathtaking, that is, before you get there. "Music" plays every once in awhile depending on what area, but hardly even passes as music. Imagine the sound of a man being forcefully fucked up his mouth, ass, and ear, by a horse who's suffering from downs syndrome and has gashes with puss that gradually waterfall into the man's mouth as he's screaming. Sodomites.
Each time you sell a part, the game goes to a cutscene of the latino crying one tear. One, solemn, genuine, tear. I can't even go over what happens when you sell all the parts. Let's just say the Japanese people wouldn't be phased at all.
It's honestly games like this that ruin the industry. Games that deserve to be in the spotlight, games that genuinely show that the medium should and can be treated with respect, are forced to rest in this game's shadow.
If you have connections, please, I and all sane people beg you, order a hit on Nicklas Nygren.

This Weekend, 2cb (?), with good times and good people.
Kris and Dano like to overhype stuff in their spare time, which is all the time.
Dano's face makes me laugh.
I finally remembered the whole experience. Very strange. Won't forget it.
If Kris is interested, we'll talk about it.
God I'm hungry.
Very tired. Very slow.
Will Wright is a dick. Seriously.

Osu!
http://osu.ppy.sh/?p=download
Before you go in, you should know what you're dealing with. Probably one of the best rhythm games ever made, is now available for the PC freely. It has a Stepmania-esque community where you can download custom and already-done songs for Osu!. There's multiplayer, online rankings, why the fuck aren't you playing it yet holy shit.
There's no words to describe this rhythm game. It's fast, it's fun, asian's love it. Derek, I'm talking to you buddy.
I have no wit tonight, sorry ladies. See you after the weekend.

ok so this is gonna be my last post for a while
4chan: Secret Club of the internet.
Hey?
Wanna know something?
You just lost the game.
Lol.
See what I did there? You just lost the game. See, that's a 4chan joke. You're from 4chan. Me and you, we understand each other. Not like these uncultured fucks who don't know an inside joke when they see it. Think of how confused they are by the concept. I bet we have so many other similar interests, such as beating dead horses. Hey, wanna know somethin' else buddy? Shoop da whoop. Oh lol. Did you catch that? That's another 4chan joke. I think they call them "meme"s right?
Oh and how about those pictures huh? Pretty gross! Of course I like to stick D batteries up little girl's snatches so they don't affect me whatsoever. I'm totally desentized from going to 4chan. Hey y'know what I did to my friend the other day? I meatspinned him. He got so grossed out! What a fag.
Y'know what else is for fags? Morals. See, I learned this from 4chan. I can be a jerk to anyone, because why should they care? If they don't humor me, they're bitches. Simple and plain. Fuck bitches. I was on stickam the other night with this bitch, and get this, all I said was "do u like mudkips???", like, y'know, that 4chan meme. Fucking bitch told me to get out. Can you believe that? Talk about overreacting! But me and you, we're different. We're above that. We get things that no one else does.
You and I, we're gonna be best friends, I know it. Do you understand how much we have in common now, that we both go to 4chan? Because see, the difference between us, and them, is that they overreact to everything. If someone gets killed, we laugh, but they cry. We're above that. We can make jokes about rape, sexism, racism. We can be bigots. We can talk as foul as we want, because we're above that. Why is everyone else so afraid, so weak. Why make a fuss over little things.
Why don't they understand?

Castle Crashers: A biased and unprofessional review.
Of course I jest. This is probably the best beat-em-up to come out, like, ever. It's the ultimate homage to beat-em-ups. You won't play a better 2D beat-em-up ever. Y'know why? 'Cause unfortunately, the genre's a dying breed. Yeah, people don't like to play good games anymore. Shocker.
