PS3?

Hey, turns out Accent Core Plus is getting released stateside. Just another confirmation that Aksys is amazing where Sega/Sammy absolutely failed at life. =) Sadly though, I was a little sad as it's only for PS2 / PSP / Wii. IE no 360. Why would I be bothered by this, considering that I own a PS2 and PSP?

Well, just this last week I preordered my Street Fighter 4 Arcade stick at Gamestop, for 360. Justin was also talking about playing Accent Core Plus / Accent Core on his PS3, and i'd thought about how if i had a PS3, i could also have a nice sturdy stick to use for it. In addition, I'd get Blazblue too(as i'm guessing it's coming out for both consoles stateside) and life would be swell.

For a minute, I remembered that my tax returns were coming in, and I'd possibly have enough money for a PS3, assuming the "PS3 for 250$ with a Sony credit card" rumors are true. So i asked my good friend Justin.

Ed: so umm, yeah. PS3 still has no ps2 support on new models, huh?

Justin: nope.

And that alone reminded me one of the major reasons I own a 360. Sony doesn't care that I'd been an avid Sony fanboy for years, they didn't care that 36% of all my games owned are for Sony consoles. I'm rewarded for my years of commitment by them turning around, and giving me the middle finger. It's obviously my fault for not having bought a PS3 at launch, so there's no reason that I should have access to a single PS2 game on their new system.

Thanks Sony. I'd -almost- reconsidered my feud with your current system, and then remembered that you still don't give a flying fuck about your customers or what they want. Thanks for saving me the money I might have spent on a new console. =)

C&C FEST 09

I was looking over my Backloggery a few minutes ago, and realized how far I'd gotten in both C&C2 Tiberian Sun, as well as Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 but had never beaten either. In addition,  my PC game count is sickeningly unfinished. This got me thinking, and scheming for lack of better words.

The objective is simple, attempt to power through the Command & Conquer games I have yet to beat. I have constructed a to-do list to help hilight this adventure.

• Command & Conquer - Tiberian Dawn
• Command & Conquer 2 - Tiberian Sun
• Command & Conquer 3 - Tiberium Wars
• Command & Conquer - Red Alert
• Command & Conquer - Red Alert 2

Expansions will be played provided I have time of some form, and still have the willpower to sit through even more C&C. (IE i will play Firestorm after C&C2 if i'm still motivated, Yuri's Revenge after RA2, and so on.) 

--EDIT--

The original plan was to leave C&C and Red Alert for last. The simple fact however is that I am a creature of habit, and it simply felt wrong leaving the original games for last in a "C&C Fest". That said, I'm going with the new order as shown above. This way it'll also make more sense once I get to Red Alert 3.

--END EDIT--

If all goes according to plan (which is unlikely, but still worth persuing) I will have a job or money by the time these games are completed, and will use it to purchase C&C : Red Alert 3 to finish the series.

Wish me luck, folks. This is no small endeavor.

Blog Revision

As fun as the GG videos were, they were very short lived. The technology setup was established halfway to the last third of the year, and so much GG was played that the owner of the setup (myself) god burned out, thus ending playing in my room for quite some time.

Afterwards, we didn't get a similar setup working the next year (last term), and I have now graduated thus eliminating the ability to record matches with dorm members.

That said, I'll be converting this to a generally gaming themed rant-o blog or something like that. In the event I ever get a similar setup and fighting game competition in the area, I'll start recording and posting again. Until then however, expect text and the occasional pretty picture.
