Source Filmmaker Initial Reaction


Just like everyone else I got Source Filmmaker the other day. I can safely say I have no idea what I am doing.

I jumped in the air when I saw SFM in my steam list. I have been waiting for the beta invite for a while now. Once I downloaded everything and installed I quickly realized after watching some tutorials that all my “amazing” ideas were going to be hard to make.



When you first open SFM, everything seems fairly simple. You have the Work screen, where you can move your camera and explore your game world, the timeline, which pretty much explains itself and the box on the left side where all your assets are held. SFM is set up like most programs so you won’t be too surprised by everything at first.



Making a scene: Without any help I did not have a clue what I was doing, I just flew around the map until I got bored and exited out. I did not realize that extent you had to go through to make even a simple scene. I learned that you had to go into the game, F11, set up your character, switch back into the editor, hit record, run around and then hit esc to finish your scene.  If you want you can make any character or object move anyway you want it to without acting it out in game. It will just take much longer to create.

I haven’t got into too much editing and film making to give a proper review, but the different videos I have seen make the possibilities of SFM endless.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation


Recently a new mobile suit game was released on the Japanese PSN, Its a f2p game and the Play Station 3 is region free, this means as long as you make an account with your locale set to japan you'll have access to the Japanese PSN. The game itself is in mostly Japanese with a few menus being in English, however even for people with no knowledge of Japanese should be able to easily find their way around, if not there are translations of the main menu on game spot, and other places no doubt. The game is free to play, but you have limited energy, one match costs you one energy. To get more energy you can win a match, or level up this will get you one more games worth of energy. You can also buy energy, but only if you have yen in your psn wallet, the game cant use money from your non Japanese account. You can however play on any account you like once the game has been downloaded.
I found what i have played of the game to be pretty fun, I'm about 6 games in and level 7, you only start with one mobile suit for each faction, and unlock more through playing along with weapons and other various upgrades. Its a little difficult to figure out what most upgrades do, but the weapons are pretty straightforward. The game also allows you to exit your MS and play on foot, which allows you to repair your mech, enter other vehicles, (Ive seen a bike and a tank) capture points that allow your team to spawn around the map, and set bombs on your enemy's base. Mobile suits can be re colored ,I dont know how to re color them but im sure its a paid /unlocked aspect of the game. Since you can buy new mobile suits and weapons with in game cash the paid aspect isn't so bad aside from limited playtime.
The controls are rough at first but become pretty natural with time, and they can be easily figured out by testing them in game, on foot the game will prompt you when you can capture points and enter/exit vehicles. Weapons seem to do little damage alone, so its best to stay with a buddy and seek out lone players attempting to capture points since its not team death match and more of a take and hold game, its best to concentrate on keeping points under control. There are currently only 2 maps available, but I would guess they will add more if the game is successful. Im also not aware of how many different types of MS you can unlock, but i have seen at least 4 for each faction.

Here is the trailer for the game.

Back with that Swtor Swag [Jedi Knight]


Hey guys I know its been awhile since I posted and so with the semester finally coming to a close I think its time to start this up again. For those of you that don't know I'm a huge fan of star wars and have been hooked since day 1 on Bioware's Swtor (Still haven't forgiven them for ME3's ending, but more on that later)

So without further delay please enjoy the class progression trailers that I'll be posting daily until I run out and come up with something else! (Btw the music for all of these trailers is by Two Steps from Hell, which only makes them more epic. Comment if you want a link to the name/download of the song(s))

Jedi Knight


One of my mains so far is a Jedi Guardian plus I also have a Sith Marauder which in mechanics is basically the same thing as a sentinel so I've got some measure on the class already. Probably the biggest draw to the knight isn't game play but rather the story associated class which you may have heard plays out like your standard bioware game. Overall this hook is pretty effective. The characters you'll meet along the way for the Knight are some of the most entertaining in the game if not all of Star Wars.
That being said the knight doesn't really feel that exceptionally powerful in game play. The guardian has a reputation of being the weakest tank in the game and that respect its sadly but barely true. The dps options too. while powerful, don't really stack up to some of the other classes, despite doing some pretty nice single target true damage.
While everything I've just said is true, don't be in any way discouraged to play the knight. No other class can quite equal the thrill of force leaping into battle and dishing out righteous justice to the fools that might stand in your way. As one your first companions is fond of saying "Eat lightsaber jerk!"

New champion: Leona



this picture just goes to show that leona is not only a great tank, but also a support. 2 for 1! she has a shield that at lvl 1 adds 30 armor and magic resist making her the best tank for early gank. (ive played against leona's who dont take it at lvl one and they ALWAYS die first). She has 2 stuns, one on hit and another long range AOE that stuns slows and does damage. this aoe stun can make or break a fight, while playing some 3's i would stun 2 or even 3 people at the same time and turn a loosing battle into 3 free kills. her zenith blade ability is really useful for ganks, and to get to pesky ranged damage in the back for an easy stun. As for building the recommended build has most everything you need, wich is CD reduction and lots of it. my normal build is Dorans shield> Boots> (ill get mercads here if they have an AP heavy team or alot of CC)> Kindlegem> Glacial shroud> Wardens mail> (if i dont get merc treads ill get ninja tabi here) >frozen heart> Randuins omen> and if you still haven't won trinity force is good.

Also disregard the loss, we had a bad game against a crit runed gangplank, theres really not much you can do about that.

Starcraft 2 combining regions


Blizzard is planning on combining some of Starcraft 2′s region-specific servers. It’ll result in an improved player experience no matter where you’re playing from. Personally I'm gonna hate the BR's if i have to play with them. Who really wants to hear "HUE HUE HUE Jajajajajajaja, give me money or I report you?"

The wider audience will result in less waiting time for ranked games and more accurate matchmaking, no matter what league you’re in. If you’re a chatty player you could potentially make a bunch of new friends too.

Region management appears to be a contentious issue for e-sports developers. Blizzard combine, but League of Legend’s Riot Games separate.

ModernWarfare3.com LOL


When you go to Modernware3.com you redirected to Battlefield.com.
Their shit got slapped!

Infinity Ward = (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

TEAM WORK!


An amazing game between Me (Maokai), Jello (Brand) and Telos (Jax).

The Maokai and Brand combo was too much for Akali and Alistar and we end up slapping their shit and taking their tower at 5:30. We have an amazing start, but it kinda slows to a crawl near the end of the match.

7 Win streak so far!

The replay is here if you want to watch it: http://www.mediafire.com/?iduf9iku9dqbbc5

Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom FULL REVIEW


Score: 89/100

Summary:

A spate of mafia assassinations occurs in America, the work of the mysterious organization named Inferno. "Phantom" is their strongest and capable assassin, however a lone tourist witnesses Phantom's latest act of murder. He unwittingly exposes the top assassin's true identity, a young girl named Ein. Witnesses are usually killed, but the man is captured and taken to be brainwashed into "Zwei", Inferno's newest assassin, with no memory of who he is. From this point on, Zwei is drawn into a world of conspiracy, deceit and violence.
(Source: ANN)


Overview

Pros:

Intriguing Plot
Great Music and Sound Effects
Art Style

Cons

Plot Irregularities
Horrible Dub
Obscurity
Too Short

Story 22/25

Split into three parts, the story of Phantom Requiem for the Phantom is refreshing and intriguing. It avoids many typical Anime cliche's, such as Big breasted super woman with super accuracy and overactive tentacle sex desires. Instead, Phantom: Requiem for the phantom provides us with characters that have depth and character; even though they have lost their memory and start out with no hope and no direction(other than what they are told). Perhaps it is due to this fact that the Anime creates characters whose outlooks and emotions you can relate with, because you see what they had to deal with. However due to the whole "Oh man i got amnesia! whats going on" the first two episodes are spent explaining this fact and makes it frustrating. This is balanced by the fact that one of the characters will regain their knowledge of their life early on, and this creates a new moral dilemma for the character. The stories not perfect due to an ending which leaves some plot holes and a few plot devices which leave the viewer saying "oh yeah right, how the hell did he survive that". While the anime doesn't try to be completely realistic, one part of the story may leave some feeling that the outcome shouldn't have favored the protagonists.

Music & Sound 22/25

The Anime's orchestral score coupled with its supurb initial opening and sweet character backdrops makes one want to obtain the soundtrack. If you enjoy an Anime with good music look no futher. That being said, the English dub of the series is one of the worst I have EVER seen. The emotional subtext and drama of the original Japanese version(which i watched first) conveys the emotions of the characters much more eloquently than the English dubbed version. Even though i cannot understand Japanese, reading the subtitles and hearing the voices gave more emotional information than the English dub, which i felt interpreted the voices and motives of the characters in those voices poorly at best, and abominable at worst. if you want the full effect of this Anime do not watch the dub!

Art Style 25/25

The art style of Phantom Requiem for the Phantom captures modern Anime's clarity and detail. Watching the high definition version of the series makes you appreciate the beauty of the cities and the grunge of their underbelly. Taking place across America and Japan and other places gave the series unique and varied environments, from the Beaches in LA to the sky scrapers of NY to the Suburbs of Japan and more. The art style isn't unique, but its caliber and polish allows the series to shine.

Lasting Appeal 20/25

Phantom Requiem for the Phantom is not one of the big three and is not the most well known Anime out there. This is a mixed blessing, as the fan community for Phantom in America is hard to find, and merchandise must be imported. This is slowly changing and therefore more American fans are most likely going to pop up soon with the advent of the dub(unless they hate it because its such a horrible dub. However, being less popular has blessings, chief among them is your ability to show people an uncommon Anime and show them that its not all about big breasted woman fighting tentacles or heroes wielding huge swords that are twice their body weight.

Back in the Old Grind, Ravage and i have a rough comeback


After 2-3 consecutive fails, ravage and i decided to go zerg, and be those guys. we were gonna six pool. yet we decided we should win fair and square, even though it was against 2 toss players. needless to say, one of them goes air-phoenix and void rays, and the other goes stalks, zels, and immortals. we did a pro strategy and massed queens, and then the game was ours. i supplemented my queens with teced hydras, while ravage got mutas. my favorite part of this game is when they attack my rich min expo, and i get about 100 hyras to just surround their army, and i eat them. take a look at one of our first games in SC2 for the new season-season2
