Gaming nostalgia, a look back at the most memorable games I’ve played (part 4)

Ever since I pumped a quarter into my first pinball machine I’ve been a gamer. To help kick off the new year I’ve decided to have a look back at my gaming past…

PART FOUR: THE NEXT GEN

Xbox 360

So bongo, bongo, bongo I don’t want to leave the congo. Oh no no no no no. Bingle, bangle, bungle I’m so happy in the jungle I refuse to go. Don’t want no bright lights, false teeth, doorbells, landlords. I make it clear. That no matter how they coax him. I’ll stay right here. ~ Civilization, Danny Kay with the Andrews Sisters

Fallout 3 is a game I will remember playing on my deathbed. It’s a masterpiece. I had the previous iterations of the series on PC way back when, but I never got into them. Fallout 3 had me entranced for hours, days, months even. I’ve always had an obsession with apocalyptic settings and this is a well crafted story surrounded by a living and breathing virtual world. I’ll never forget that moment in a burnt out supermarket when a Raider announced over the speaker system that he and his pals were gunning for me. Or the pang of guilt I felt when I realized I wouldn’t be able to save the sheriff and a little virtual boy would have to spend the rest of his virtual existence without a father. If you don’t like this game there is something intrinsically wrong with you.

Of course, you know, I have to mention the Bioshock games here, that wonderful and immersive voice acting will stick with me for a long, long time and be the yard stick I measure all future games to. But I’ve bantered enough about them on this blog, so let’s move on.

And the last game I’ll mention is Batman: Arkham Asylum. It’s the gameplay mechanics that stand out the most and the talented Mark Hamil voicing the Joker is a bonus. This is the first superhero based game that I feel really lived up to its namesake. Taking down the bad guys in this game was just as fun as killing Nazis. Hang one from a gargoyle, wait for his buddies to come investigate, swoop down and BAM! Two for one. This too was another well voiced and immersive game.

An honorable mention should be extended to Rock Band. More so for personal reasons. It was this game that helped me get over the grief of losing two dogs. Creating a band based on my pets, calling it Graham and the GUNKS (I spent a lot of time grooming Graham, specially his ears which always had gunk in them) and playing bass as Oliver Twisted (our wheaten terrier that passed away a year before we adopted Graham) was a good healing process for me. Even if the game has worn thin on me now I will always remember the GUNKS.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

Let’s hope the Mayans were wrong…

Gaming nostalgia, a look back at the most memorable games I’ve played (part 3)

Ever since I pumped a quarter into my first pinball machine I’ve been a gamer. To help kick off the new year I’ve decided to have a look back at my gaming past…

PART THREE: THE REIGN OF SONY

Playstation 2
The only games that stood out for me on this console were GTA Vice City, Metal Gear Solid 2 and Dynasty Warriors 4. Vice City provided me with much needed stress relief at the time, there was nothing like the mayhem a floating smiley face would allow you to wreak on the pixelated denizens of Vice City. This game saved quite a few of my co-workers lives back then (I’m not a violent person by nature, believe me, these guys were assholes.) Metal Gear Solid 2 was a great game and the first–and last–stealth title I’ve played all the way through. I think it was the political and social aspects of the story line (information is power, the control of the flow of information) that made it most memorable for me. Then there was Dynasty Warriors 4. I had a bang up time playing this button masher. I remember having so much fun playing this game that I’ve tried various iterations of it on the 360 to no avail. I recall the gameplay and graphics being far superior on the Ps2 than what I’ve experienced in the various versions available for the 360. Maybe it’s because when I played DW4 I was still smoking weed and had access to Humboldt quality dope but after viewing the gameplay video on YouTube I’m convinced the graphics and gameplay of DW4 for the PS2 are far superior.

Xbox
Another GTA title, San Andreas, will dominate my memories here. Wasting time exercising your virtual toon with virtual weights on a virtual beach was oddly, quite fun. Mercenaries was hella fun too. Blowing shit up in North Korea was a satisfying experience. Not that I really have anything against North Korea, I just liked blowing shit up. Fable was another standout here though Fable 2 would disappoint me (don’t promise an open world and then put me on rails.) And I shouldn’t forget Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2. Wielding dual light sabers was great.

I nearly forgot about Spider-Man 2. I’ve always been a HUGE Spidey fan, even back before being a Spidey fan was cool. The best thing about this one was the web slinging. I must have spent hours just web slinging across Manhattan… A guy has to have his hobbies, right?

PART TWO: THE ERA OF PERPETUAL UPGRADING

PC Gaming
Enter the mid 90′s and my obsession with building the perfect computer to play the perfect game, NHL 97. The moment I saw the 3d graphics on the back cover of this game I had to have it. I spent about $300 that day, for the game and the necessary upgrades so my PC would run it. Then there was Interstate ’76, give me disco on its own back then and I’d puke, feign a headache and ask you to turn it off. But add in cars with machine gun and rocket launcher attachments that could spill oil slicks from their rears and throw in some fantastic game play mechanics and suddenly the name Groove Champion didn’t sound the least bit cheesy. This game made me respect Disco. Maybe that’s why I’ve been listening to Abba lately…

And then there were the WW2 games, like Medal of Honor Allied Assault, a game I’ve played through more than once on a few different systems. There’s something about killing Nazis that never gets old. I also remember, in great detail, the hours I spent playing Red Baron 3D, probably one of the greatest flight sims ever. I can still hear the the creaks and moans of my wooden plane as it strained against the tight turns of combat. I can still see no man’s land as I flew over it. And how could I ever forget the one game in which I didn’t mind playing as a Nazi, Aces of the Deep. Patrolling the Atlantic for supply convoys was so much fun, despite the guilt I felt because my Grandfather had been a merchant marine in the war.

Then there was EverCrack, I mean Everquest. I have vivid, vivid  memories of playing this game, memories that often leave me feeling like I was actually in it. Most of them involved sitting around a safe area with a group of people, chatting and waiting for our health and mana to replenish so the puller can pull another beast for us to slay. Or sitting around the Freeport gate yelling for a group. And then there was that whole losing a level and two days worth of experience because some idiot trained a Sand Giant on you while you were resting in the Desert of Ro. Not sure how many keyboards and mice I broke in fits of rage due to this game but it was quite a few. Evercrack was definitely designed with the sole purpose of keeping you playing and paying monthly. The quintessential classic skinner box. Then came Asheron’s Call, I think I remember this one mostly because I got to play it a lot with my brother, Bowin. It was a great game and a lot more forgiving than Evercrack, though not as diverse in character building. But the fact that you didn’t have to rely on a group all the time was a huge bonus.

Gaming nostalgia, a look back at the most memorable games I’ve played (part 1)

Ever since I pumped a quarter into my first pinball machine I’ve been a gamer. To help kick off the new year I’ve decided to have a look back at my gaming past…

PART ONE: THE EARLY YEARS

ATARI 2600
I was a latecomer to the Atari scene. By the time it became affordable for my working class parents the ColecoVision was the latest and greatest thing. Regardless, I was happier than a pig in mud the day I got it. The only games that I really remember vividly playing for hours on end were the arcade classics; Asteroids, Pac-Man, Missile Command and Defender. I also remember the painful blister I got on the crook of my thumb after playing for 3 days straight. No, it didn’t stop me from playing.

ColecoVision
My parents picked this one up for me when they saw it at Odd Lots for dirt cheap. I was never a big fan of this system, I always thought the controllers were perfect examples of human engineering skills gone horribly wrong. It was as though they designed them with the sole purpose of fitting them neatly into the system’s casing, any case for the practical use of them was abandoned for the sake of aesthetics. The only games I remember playing on it were Venture, Donkey Kong and oddly, Smurf: Rescue in Gargamel’s Castle… I was heavy into Dungeons & Dragons so computer gaming was taking a back seat at the time.

Nintendo Entertainment System
I started working full time at the age of 16 to help my mom out. Nintendo was the first system I bought with my own money and the only game that really stands out in my memories is Zelda. Was it the gold covered cartridge or the fact that you could save the game? I don’t know, I just remember playing it.

Sega Genesis
The moment I purchased the 32X for this system its life span was finished, this near turned me off consoles forever. Still there were a few good titles for it. I’ve never been much of a fighting game person (I hated Mortal Combat) but I played the hell out of Eternal Champions. My first basketball sim was on the Genesis, I can’t find record of it on Wikipedia, the earliest one they show from EA is Live 95 but I know I had one as early as 1990 or 1991, this was also the last basketball game I would enjoy playing. The Genesis also introduced me to my life long obsession with hockey sims. NHL Hockey is one of the greatest games I’ve ever played and, back then at least, each new year’s iteration got significantly better and better. NHL games had me feeding the EA corporate machine money with every new release for years to come. I even tried out EA Sports Rugby on this system, but only being able to pass the ball backwards when I needed it to go forwards was a little too much for my logical brain to handle!

CAMPING: The FINAL & ONLY Definition

WHAT IS A DIRTY CAMPER?
The only time a player can legitimately be called a dirty, low-life, scum-of-the-earth camper is in a Team Death Match or Free For All game.

Finding your own corner of some room or an enclosed space on a map with your ADS trained on the only entrance to the area in these game modes takes ZERO skill and is just poor sportsmanship (even when there are two entrances.) If everyone one did this in these game modes we’d all be sitting around pulling our peckers for 15 minutes. While some of you may find that fun, I find it just gets the controller all sticky.

THAT WHICH IS NOT CAMPING
Setting up camp near an objective, a flag in Domination, the flag in Capture the Flag, the bomb site in Demolition or Search & destroy, the M-COM station in Battlefield, IS NOT CAMPING. This is defending or guarding your objective.

Patrolling an area (larger than a room, about 1/4 of the map,) going back and forth and eliminating any enemy that tries to piss in your territory IS NOT CAMPING. This is controlling or holding down an area.

MIGHT AS WELL TALK ABOUT SPAWN TRAPPING
It is only spawn trapping if an ENTIRE team is camped in your spawn grounds keeping your team pinned down. Not a very sporting strategy but a viable one in certain circles.

ONE or two guys wreaking havoc and confusion in your spawn grounds are not spawn trapping you. Seriously, how can one or two guys spawn trap an entire team? Unless your team sucks that bad it’s not possible. Those guys are keeping you busy while their teammates attack the objective. Providing a small distraction is sound military strategy.

HOW TO DEAL WITH CAMPERS
If the camper is having a good day (notice that I did not say he is “skilled,”) the little shit probably has host advantage (in Black Ops.) The only thing you can do here is warn the rest of your team where his lair is and avoid him. No sense in you adding to his slow and steady killstreak, of which you can be sure will end in dogs.

In Battlefield the situation is not as cut and dry. The maps are larger with lots of prime sniper real estate. A skilled sniper overlooking–or a lone wolf controling an area near–your objective must be dealt with. And they are probably going to have to be dealt with more than once. Avoidance is not a viable solution here.

Use a camper hunting class. In Black Ops, Ghost Pro, Hardened Pro and Hacker Pro. Equip a Silencer and use Counter Spy Plane. Ghost Pro and the silencer keep you off the mini-map. Hardened lets you shoot through walls, campers will always hide in a corner to reload. Hacker Pro keeps you invisible to Motion Sensors, a favorite tool of professional campers. Hold on to your Counter Spy Planes and throw them up only when there is a Blackbird in play. Professional dirty, scumbag campers are killwhores, they won’t run something as useful to the team as the Blackbird, they’ll be running something like Attack Chopper and Dogs. Equip C4 and use it as an extra grenade. Toss it inside a camped room and set it off right away.

In Battlefield 3 there is absolutely no such thing as camping but there are those jackass snipers who like to hang out in the boondocks and pick your team off one by one. Anything that keeps your team from accomplishing its objectives becomes part of said objectives. On some maps dealing with skilled snipers is as simple as informing your own snipers to look out for him and kill on site. If someone has spotted him and/or you are absolutely sure of where his lair is, you can have someone blanket mortar the area. On some of the larger maps it may be necessary to dispatch a squad to deal with him.

Noob tube the fuck out of him, ’nuff said. In Battlefield 3, hop in a tank or some other ordinance ladened vehicle… You get the picture.

Learn the maps. Once you know the maps better you’ll be more aware of where campers like to take up residence. Go into Combat Training in Back Ops and learn to think like a camper. Those bots in combat training always use the most traveled routes. Finding the best places to hide and pick off a bunch of easy targets running by will show you where the best spots are to camp in any game mode.

Also look for the obscure, out-of-the-way camping spots. The ones that overlook the roads least traveled. These places are haunted by the lowest type of camper there is, politicians and lawyers have more scruples than these campers. I’m talking about the chicken-shit, avoid all confrontation, my-testicles-haven’t-dropped-yet, feckless camper. These guys equip sniper rifles and ghillie suits, hide in bushes on the outskirts of the map killing the odd passerby, and patiently build up a killstreak that will end in dogs. You need to find the alternative routes to these places because he will get you every time you come back at him from the same direction, mostly because that’s the only direction he’s looking in.

Once you’ve eliminated a camper from an area, stick around. Find a place to lay low. Campers are generally idiotic creatures of habit. Rest assured, he’s coming back. That should be another easy kill for you. Alternatively you could leave a claymore in that area if you’re fairly sure of the path he’ll be taking to get back.

In Battlefield 3 there is no safe way to learn the maps. Just relax and keep playing. Enjoy yourself and don’t let the game frustrate you. You’ll be surprised at how much faster you’ll get the hang of things simply by enjoying yourself. It is just a game.

WHAT NOT TO DO WHEN ACCUSED OF CAMPING
Just because you get called a camper by some guy frustrated with his inadequate performance or some dumb-ass, clueless teenager does not mean you’re a camper. Stop rushing off to some internet forum to whine about how you got called a camper when ‘you’re not.’ It’s just going to be another useless thread on the same old tired topic of camping and, quite frankly, it makes you look guilty. If you’re questioning whether or not you’re a camper then so are the people reading your post. Brush off his comments and try not camping in the next game.

HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH CAMPERS?
I would like to hear how you guys deal with campers, please leave a comment if you have the time. Not only will you be helping the gaming community, you’ll also give me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

Black Ops: Tips for Playing New Maps

While looking for information regarding the new Black Ops map pack, Annihilation, I found the following video by Matroix. He offers some good advice on how to play a new map pack. While this video was made for Escalation the advice he gives can easily be applied to any new map.

WARNING! – Definite spoilers in this part of the guide.

Been playing through the New Vegas wasteland for a couple of weeks now. I’m not finished with the game but my character is level 29 as of this writing and I thought I’d share my train of thought as I developed the character with you.

Armand Geddon, wasteland courier, gunslinger and lucky ladies man!
STARTING CHARACTER STATS
S-4. P-4, E-7, C-6, I-7, A-5, L-7. Tagged: Guns, Speech, Survival. Traits: Small Frame, Four Eyes.

CHARACTER STATS AT LEVEL 29
S-6, P-6(+4 eyes), E-8, C-7, I-8, A-7(+ small frame), L-8

PERKS	SKILLS	IMPLANTS
2 – Lady Killer 4 – Educated 6 – Comprehension 8 – Gunslinger 10 – Finesse 12 – Cowboy 14 – Toughness 1 16 – Action Boy 1 18 – Action Boy 2 20 – Grim Reaper Sprint 22 – Toughness 2 24 – Center of Mass 26 – Intense Training (+1 STR) 28 – Commando 30 -	Barter – 55 Energy Wpns – 20 Explosives – 65 Guns – 100 Lockpick – 80 Medicine – 50 Melee Weapons – 75 Repair – 75 Science – 50 Sneak – 50 Speech – 80 Survival – 60 Unarmed – 29	+1 Intelligence +1 Agility +1 Strength +1 Endurance +1 Charisma +1 Luck +4 Damage Threshold

WHY I DID WHAT I DID WHEN I DID IT
Starting assumptions – I made my Strength a low 4 because I knew where to pick up my first companion (ED-E) and planned on getting him right away to help me carry stuff (which I did). I tagged Guns because tagging your main weapon is a must and Speech because I didn’t want to shoot my way out of every situation. Survival was tagged because I’m playing in hardcore mode. Small Frame and Four Eyes made up for my scavenging Perception and Agility.

Perk progression – Selecting Lady Killer at level 2 was more of a role playing choice than anything else. Educated at level 4 is a no-brainer, nothing else at this point is worth selecting unless you’re role playing a cannibal (eww!). Comprehension was selected at level 6 to give me an advantage when using skill mags and allows me to max out most skills at 80; whenever I need a skill higher than 80 I use a skill magazine. Gunslinger at level 8 was another role playing decision as Armand pretty much only uses That Gun. Finesse at level 10 because an extra critical chance is always nice and it fit with the role play aspect of Armand being a lucky kind of cowboy. I picked Cowboy at level 12 because it increased the damage of the weapons I’m using, I had to plan this one ahead of time and throw a bunch of skill points into melee at level 11 to meet the 45 melee point requirement. Toughness at level 14 because cowboys are always tough! Also had this idea in my head of running around in a Sheriffs coat and hat for most of the game; yeh… that dream ended when a Deathclaw handed me my ass in two swings! I picked the Action Boy perk for levels 16 and 18 and Grim Reaper’s Sprint at 20 because I prefer to be in VATS. Toughness at level 22 because cowboys are tough (I told you this already, geesh!) Center of Mass at level 22 because +15% damage is +15% damage. I took Intense Training at level 26 and added one Strength to make up for a poor primary stat decision. That Gun needs a 6 Strength to function at maximum capacity, I also wanted to trade in my fully modified Cowboy Repeater for a much more powerful Brush Gun. I could have taken the Weapon Handling perk but increasing Strength allowed me to carry a little bit more and increased my melee damage as well (I’d been using a combat knife on the weaker hostile denizens of the wasteland ever since I picked up the Cowboy perk, no sense in wasting good ammo on a dumb ass.) At level 28 I picked Commando to give me an edge in VATS with the Brush Gun in ranged fights. At level 30 I will probably pick Adamantium Skeleton but I may change my mind.

Skill point allocation – I didn’t keep a detailed record of what skills I allocated points to and when. I concentrated on Guns, Speech and Lockpick first and raised the others when I needed to. I threw a bunch of points into melee at levels 11 & 12 so I could get the Cowboy perk. I raised Medicine when I was at Nellis and couldn’t bare the thought of not being able to save one of the sick Boomers. I raised Medicine some more when I was on Veronica’s quest in an abandoned irradiated Vault. I got Repair up to 50 fast so I could make Weapon Repair Kits easier thus eliminating the need for Jury Rigging (hint: pick up every duct tape and scrap electronics you see).

So there you have it, that’s my toon at level 29. As I stated before not scavenging your Charisma is a good thing. It makes your allies that much stronger and a lot more dependable in a fire fight. There is no need to make such drastic base stat decisions when you create your toon. Rolling a balanced character will not hinder your progress in any way during the game. Your only major concern at character creation is what combat skill will your character be focused on; if you’re making a Gunslinger then Agility will be important, if you’re making a Martial Artist then Strength will be your priority.

Tips for Playing To Win With General Population

I’m writing this because I hear a lot of self proclaimed “great” players whine about how they can’t win when playing with general population. If they are such “great, uber” players then shouldn’t they be able to carry a team to victory no matter what the odds? I’m here to tell these people, your team doesn’t suck. You do. Well, more precisely, your attitude sucks. I believe you have a decent chance to win any game if you have a good enough player who is a better leader than he is an egotistical shit.

Don’t be a Captain Sobel. These asshats are the reason no one uses their mics in Black Ops. Everyone wants to win but what most of us want is to just have a good time. Please respect that. Good natured jibing is one thing, abusive, foul-mouthed taunting is another. Yelling and screaming at people, despite what you see on reality TV, accomplishes nothing. The one thing great leaders have in common is confidence. Great leaders inspire confidence in others by encouraging words and positive action. Yelling and screaming at people makes you look infantile. Lack luster. Pathetic. Just because you don’t see anyone with a mic on does not mean that some of those people are not listening. A lot of them are and they are waiting for leadership. The truth is yelling and screaming just brings everyone on the team down, you may have 30 kills in that game your team lost but all that whining and whinging from you during the match contributed more to the team loss than the kid who got 3 kills and 40 deaths.

Mike Keenan didn’t rant and rave, he simply told his boys they should be proud of themselves. He told them to play hard and enjoy the moment.

Don’t be that guy on the team that thinks he’s “Gods Gift to Gaming” and everyone else on the team sucks. He’s not part of the reason the team is losing, the rest of you are. Being confident is one thing, being an asshole is another. In the 1994 Stanley Cup playoffs, the Rangers needed to win the next 2 games or loose their shot at the Cup to the Devils. Before game six Mark Messier stepped up to the plate and guaranteed the win. Mark scored 3 goals in that game and the Rangers won. When Vancouver forced a game 7 after the Rangers had been up by 2 games Mike Keenan didn’t rant and rave, he simply told his boys they should be proud of themselves. He told them to play hard and enjoy the moment. That this is what they all dreamed about, playing a seventh game on home ice to win the Stanley Cup. The Rangers broke 50 years of “bad luck” and won the cup. There is no arguing that there was a boat load of talent on the Rangers that year but the Canucks weren’t a bunch of scrubs either. Leadership won the Rangers the cup that year, above all else it was the leadership that prevailed.

All men and women may not be born equal but that does not mean they don’t have the right to be treated as such.

If your team is doing bad, don’t get frustrated, don’t yell into the mic for people to get out of your way. Encourage the team, nurture them, guide them… LEAD THE WAY. Call out enemy positions, tell them you need someone to help take Flag B, say confidently “Who is going with me to get that flag?” You’ll be surprised at how easily this approach will turn the tide of the game. Talk to the team even if you think no one is listening. Talk TO the team, not AT them. All men and women may not be born equal but that does not mean they don’t have the right to be treated as such. Treat people with respect and mute the ones that don’t return it. Never waiver from your determination to win, never whine and show weakness. If no one showed up to help you cap the flag don’t ask, “where the fuck where you guys?” Say, “OK that’ didn’t go as planned, lets try this again, who’s with me?“

As the self proclaimed messiah of gaming it falls on you to gauge what the team is doing. If three or more guys are focused on capping then be the stalker. Circle the map and take out the enemy on their way to the objectives. You have to adapt to your teams play style. If you can’t go from being a rusher to being a tank you won’t do well in gen pop, you have to be versatile. You have to be the one to try and make up for your team’s shortcomings.

If you can’t do this, do us all a favor then; STFU about how great your are.

Gaming Scribble Sh33ts
