"Every Bullet Counts" - New Adversary Game Mode in Grand Theft Auto 5 - GTA5

Looks like the maps are quite small, you only get TWO bullets per round and ONE gun!  You have to make your shots count, or restort to melee weapons (if turned on).  Read more HERE!

Two bullets. One life. No mercy. The assemblage of GTA Online Adversary Modes for PS4, Xbox One and PC grows stronger today with the release of the brand new Every Bullet Counts - an intense Last Man Standing variant with a unique twist to keep you on your toes and constantly on your guard.
With no safe place to hide, four players go up against each other in a confined space with a very limited arsenal, just one Marksman Pistol and two bullets to take out three opponents. Once you've exhausted your ammo, you'll need to resort to crafty melee attacks with your Hatchet or Machete to make it out alive.

GTA Online Freemode Events DLC Live!!!

The new DLC for GTA Online has been released and is live, while going through the world you can
toggle the events to trigger for you or not, so you can do your normal harassment of other players ;) and not be bothered by these new features, but from the sound of them they're going to be very fun to play in.  Penned In sounds exactly like Battle Royale in H1Z1!!! Check em out!

Penned In – A vehicular free-for-all to stay inside an ever-shrinking and always-moving dome. If you're caught outside the dome for more than a few seconds you'll blow up and be eliminated from the competition. 

Criminal Damage – Rack up the biggest property damage bill you can before time runs out. Equip your biggest weapons and go to town on anything and everything in sight. 

Hunt The Beast – Players team up to track and kill the beast – a randomly selected player with superior speed and extra health – before it can collect 10 checkpoints scattered around the world within the time limit. The beast is invisible on the mini-map save for whenever it collects a checkpoint, which will cause it to blip for 10 seconds (and increasing in duration with each checkpoint collected). 

Challenges - Longest jump; longest skydive; longest wheelie; most vehicles stolen; most near misses; lowest parachute deploy; longest bail from vehicle; furthest distance low flying; and more. 

Moving Target - A vehicle is blipped on the map, the first player to deliver it to the marked destination wins. 

Kill List - A vehicle is blipped on the map, once the requisite number of players enter they must take out as many waves of enemies as possible. 

Kill List Competitive - Same as above, but multiple vehicles are blipped and players compete against each other to rack up the most kills in the given time limit. 

Checkpoints - 120 checkpoints spawn in a quadrant of the map. Players compete to collect the most in the given time limit. This mode comes in two variants: land & sea checkpoints and air checkpoints. 

Time Trial - A persistent blip on the map where players can try to beat the Rockstar par time and world record on a route that changes weekly. 

Hold the Wheel - A target vehicle is blipped on the map for 5 minutes. Players compete to be the one in the vehicle when the timer expires. 

Hot Property - Players compete to control possession of a blipped briefcase. The longer you have it, the more points you earn. 

Dead Drop - A briefcase is blipped for players to collect and deliver to a location. Players compete for the chance to deliver the briefcase. 

King of the Castle -The first player to a blipped location becomes King, and gain points as long as they remain King. Players compete to kill and become the King.

Video - "Mis-Adventures In Rimworld s01e01" - Testing Out Youtube's Gaming Channel And Live Streaming

So I decided to try out the youtube's gaming channel and streaming service, and see how it compares to the twitch streaming experience.  

Overall I think I kind of like the youtube aspect a bit more, however the processing time it seems to take is a bit much.  I think I'd still just stream live, but then do all the editing and posting after the effect rather than wait for youtube to process the video and their editor isn't the greatest in end use as well, when compared to the likes of premier.  

With that said I'd still maybe do the straight to the web, for maybe like live little quick bit shows like maybe live Q&A's, etc.  We'll see! :)  I'll certainly continue to play games and stream when I've got the time.  I really like playing Rimworld in a frustratingly satisfying way, whenever I feel the need for some survival game pangs.

Video : Minecraft - Story Mode!!! Say Whaaaaat?!!!

So this happened.  I'm both excited and a bit nervous about how this might turn out.  After all this could be epicly good like the Lego Movie, as good as the episodic games of Last of Us/Walking Dead, or could be a real fart burner like one of the lesser animation studios Pixar rip off movies, or Cars/Cars2! ;)  I myself I think am tending toward the former than the latter.  I certainly enjoy watching Red vs Blue, and Yogscast's Shadow of Israphel series.  Here is the Video for Minecraft : Story Mode!

Video : Mis-Adventures In Hearthstone s01e01 - I Finally Win One With My Hunter Deck!

So i've been playing a bit of Hearthstone : Heroes Of Warcraft, essentially its Blizzard Entertainment attempt at Magic The Gathering, however its more MTG "Lite".  Don't get me wrong I love to sit down and play for 10 min and bust out my "dailies" in Hearthstone, a mechanic they carried over form World of Warcraft.   Just there is more overall complexity with MTG than their is with Hearthstone at this time.   

Its certainly lots of fun to play just like magic, and you get somewhat the same thrill of gathering and collecting cards as well as having the ability of "crafting" cards by "disenchanting" either multiple of cards you have or ones you dont wan to use which isn't something you can do with worthless common cards.  However there is no "trading" in Hearthstone.  So really the only thing you can do is disenchant for "dust" which then allows you to craft cards you might not have yet.

Its estimated that 20 million people enjoy the game and .5% of that playerbase has reached "Legendary" status (winning over 500 times in each character class).  There are both PC clients as well as apps for both android and ios!

So Here is one of my initial wins using my Hunter Class "Beasts" decks.  Feel free to comment in the video description.  While I pull out a win, I make a ton of mistakes along the way, and hey upon reviewing these mistakes its already made me a better player :)

I've been playing H1Z1 and streaming on Twitch ( < click to follow me there for upcoming livestream of gaming!) This is the gameplay video from those sessions edited down with some added flair, hehe.

Here is episode Three!, "Chipmunks Of Doom!"  This game play was a bit long, so I sped up the footage, which turned into hilarious hi-pitched voices.

I started out at a spawn point after dying from a previous session, to which some idiot savant spawned next to me and of course tried to do a beat down.  After loosing "Mr. Special",  I was hold up waiting to meet up with a friend at an industrial complex.  A bit of confusion ensues on my part as what I assume is my friend running up on me ends up being another player, luckily he's a terrible shot and doesn't kill me at point blank range! (not even sure if he hits me).  Well after a bit of trying to actually save and work with other players my friend shows up and we're forced to kill the other players.  For once we go out on top!

I've been playing H1Z1 and streaming on Twitch ( < click to follow me there for upcoming livestream of gaming!) This is the gameplay video from those sessions edited down with some added flair, hehe.

Here is episode Two!, "Dance of Death!"  A friend and I are looting some apartments in a complex and we run into a reallygooddancer and his friend, ultimately another player serves up our "just deserts" as even the moves we gleaned from a reallygooddancer isnt enought to evade arrow fire from the player with the high ground. Two headshots later and the session was over.

Video : Elite Dangerous Official Trailer! Looks Awesome!

I've been playing Elite Dangerous for awhile now, and although I don't have an oculus rift head set, the game is still beautiful to watch and play and this trailer shows off all its glory!

VIDEO : Mis-Adventures in Battlefield 4 - Open Beta - Skyscraper Falls!

So yesterday Oct 4th, until its release Oct 29th, for the pc you can go onto Origin (yah I know, origin sucks, trust me if you could get it from anywhere else for the pc!!) you can go and download (5+ gb) the new Battlefield 4 open beta demo.  I believe its only one map, Siege of Shanghai, with two game modes, conquest and domnimation.

I hopped on and played a little, its certainly a battlefield game, and certainly fun in those aspects, plus the multitude of things that can be destroyed is pretty fun, but I was hoping for more in the way of destructibility.  I mean when you spawn in there are vehicles you can't do dick to that are strewn in the street and they are normal cars something an AK would go through like a hot knife through butter, but if it's a vehicle they don't want you to destroy it ain't going to happen.  Don't get me wrong, like I mentioned there is a ton of stuff you CAN destroy, I just was hoping it was more along the lines of common sense believably.  Then again  the skyscraper at the end of the video does go down pretty darn quickly without much debris or smoke.  Hehe.

Sorry for the crappy video quality, My video card was on the low end for battlefield 3 to run on ultra, and its looking a little long in the tooth by battlefield 4 standards, with that said I also had to turn down the settings to get a decent framerate out of fraps when recording and playing.  Also didn't have my headset on my pc so I was just using my webcam mic for audio capture.

VIDEO : Grand Theft Auto 5 - Wade Can't Stop A Toilet Leak!

This was a fun little play session.  I'm trying out my new El Gato Capture Card HD that I picked up for recording console game play.  Check out the video below.  The video has some of the cut scenes leading up to a big heist, but I took out most, if not all, of the actual game play of what you need to do to get to that point. So the video is relatively spoiler free.

Video : MisAdventures In SimCity! S01E02

While everyone else was busying looking at wait queue's to get into the game to play yesterday and today or are completely locked out I was able to load up the game and give a little tour of some of the newest features as well as a tour of my smallish town.  If you like the videos please head over to my youtube channel and rate and subscribe! (sorry this was at 2 am when i got in so I yawn a bit here and there, and a few times when I'm zoomed in all you can hear is the sirens, will try to compensate for future videos)

(ALSO IF YOU  ARE GOING TO MONITIZE YOUR VIDEOS TURN OFF THE IN GAME MUSIC!!! YOUTUBE IS FRICK'N SAYING THERE IS A COPYRIGHT DISPUTE ON ALL THE VIDEOS, INCORRECTLY!  ITS "IN GAME" MUSIC! BASTARDS.)

Video - George Lucas On The Lucasfilm Disney Buyout!

 George in the depths of a wretched
 hive of scum and villainy

Over at StarWars.com's youtube channel, they released a three minute video of George's take on why this is a good thing for Lucasfilm, *cough* Sorry just had a tickle in my throat, its was as if a million 70's era kids just felt their childhood *shat* *trampled* upon, *cough*.   Here  is the video clip:

So as Lucas is stepping down/retiring, a Mrs Kathleen Kennedy takes the helm. George  goes on to say "When I first made Star Wars everyone in Hollywood said that this is a movie Disney should have made." 

But George, I'm sure your younger-self , purer, albeit much poorer self, would have scoff'd at that idea. Was't that idea, to hell with Hollywood, and its perception and methodology of making films that you as well as the cadre of young new film makers back in the day strove for, to essentially "prove them wrong".  Not sure if this is wisdom or a brain vessel pop'n...

George goes on to say "Well, I said I'd never do any more Star Wars Films, BUT that doesn't mean I wouldn't let others do it!" Kathleen says "We're ABSOLUTELY making more Star Wars Movies". Kathleen goes on to say that its important to "protect" these characters, which I read as we'll be lawsuit crazy if you anger the Disney entity and send cease and desists on anything vaguely star wars-ish. DIY, Golden "Leia" Bikini, DENIED!  I hear there are lots of European and Asian people served with papers to stop using the name Han! (just kidding)

Kathleen earlier indicated that  "Disney defines Family Entertainment." Or put another way, what ever brainwashed version of what Disney is promoting these days as "Family Entertainment."  I mean it seems they've had issues with what "family friendly" is since Disney's inception, but for a more recent view just look at the tripe that is on the Disney /ABC Channels. This "entertainment" is pitched to their demographic on a daily basis, a demo which they created called the "tweens". It should never had been one.  I curse Disney and Nickelodeon for "tweens". 

I'm not hopeful of the future of the Star Wars brand, perhaps they will leave Lucasfilm alone like they've done with Pixar, but I doubt it.  There is to much cash to be made from the public masses.  As an example, the last few Pixar films have been "meh", Brave? It was visual eye candy only, the story was pretty much Finding Nemo for tween girls.  

So be prepared to get your jedi robes all in a bunch as we're going to be seeing Episodes 7-9, 10-12, 13-15... coming to a theater soon, then on dvd, then on blue-ray, then on dvd/blue-ray box set, and whatever media format we have by them. I can't wait to see Grand Dad Skywalker talking about how in the old days you had to stack rocks, run around with little green dudes on your back, and lift x-wings out of swamps to get your force cred. Ug.

Makes me want to go check out a Star Trek Convention! (kidding!!)

Video Game : Slender - The Eight Pages

So here is something that is totally perfect for Halloween full of spooky and scary fun!  

The game is called "Slender - The Eight Pages" and its pretty freaky to play.  It's a single player game and the idea is that you are investigating the myth of the slender man and you've tracked him down and are collecting evidence to prove his existence via 8 notes/scribblings that you find in the game, the bad news is that slender man is always watching! 

As you progress the music gets more dire and things get more intense, and then you find your second note/clue! BOOM! He's behind you! RUN! Don't LOOK BAAAAC!!!  *ssssshhhhhh......* 

To get the most bang for your buck (um its free!) definitely play with the sound up, and all the lights off in your house and see how far you can get before the slender man gets you!!!

Official Site and Game > Here
Fan Site With Info > Here
Slenderman Myth Wiki  > Here

There are some priceless videos of peoples reactions to playing Slender which you can check out one of the videos below:


(skip to 9:53 for the scary game goodness)
