I've been way too lazy lately to blog and Tumblr doesn't help, but because I can't live without doing atleast a blog every month, here's a very quick update on some things from mid-April until now:
- I commented it here, but just for the people that don't know, I saw Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I already made a review here, but to put it shortly, it was awesome.
- The only other film I watched was a French (I think) film set in Tel Aviv which I think it was called Le Fils de le Autre (translated as The Sons of the Other). Nothing especial, but it was a good film overall. I didn't make a review on that.
- My boughts on Steam have been: Descent (which Matt R reviewed), Don't Starve, Portal 2, Retro City Rampage, the Big Band, Squigly and the color palettes from Skullgirls, thomas was alone (yep, low caps) and the most recent one, The Witcher: Enhanced Edition.
- I also never mentioned I got physical PSP games here on Europe (thank god for not having region block). They are: Tony Hawk Underground 2 Remix (my original Xbox copy had sadly died), Street Fighter Alpha 3 and that Darkstalkers collection I can't remember its especific name.
- Been mostly on a First Person mood lately and also some Bastion because I want to finish it before getting Transistor. Started Half-Life 2 (spoiler: it's incredible) and Dear Esther, been playing some rounds of Team Fortress 2 from time to time and continued some of Bioshock.
Anyway, that's just an overview. I've got many pictures I would like to show some goodies and I still haven't shown the mystery object from this blog, but don't trust me to have them as soon as posible.
Can't wait for those pictures you've got. From Belgium and whatnot, right? That's awesome.
I'm currently getting all my L.A. stuff into my Dropbox myself.
Yeah, Belgium, but also Amsterdam and Italy.
Sweeeet!
I love Half Life 2. I've been thinking of replaying it again. Timeless game.
how's Dear Esther?
Weird. I was just thinking about Half-Life 2 today. I thought about it when I saw some lawn gnomes for sale at Wegmans. I remember trying to carry that thing in the game all the way to the end to put it in the missile. There's an achievement for doing that. I lost it somewhere along the way though.
All I think of when I see lawn gnomes is.....fable 3......gnomes are evil!!!
Ha! I love those things in Fable 3. They yell at you and taunt you mercilessly. It really makes you want to find and destroy them.
Now that I saw the video, I also do want to kill those gnomes :P
Half-Life 2 is simply getting better everytime I play it.
Dear Esther is very relaxing, I really like the music, the scenery is nice and the story seems interesting. That said, the slow movement sometimes doesn't help.
Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome and awesome. Half Life 2 is timeless as Matt said.
Descent is a blast from my past I had nightmares because of that game. Not that is was necessarily scary, but I played it in the dark and was fully immersed in the game. Plus, there are enemies that silently stalk you.
I do want to see Winter Soldier, but have too much going on at the moment to even watch Thor 2.
So many good games for the PSP. I am not quite sure why Sony's handhelds don't do better, they do have access to amazing content.
I think it might be posible that Half-Life 2 just entered my list of favorite games. It just does most things right.
Take your time and then you can watch The Winter Soldier, which to be fair, I find MUCH better than Thor: TDW.
That just scratches the surface of games I want for the PSP. The PSP really has a great library.
Its good to hear from ya, glad your doing good! You picked up alot of good stuff recently. I really need toplay the half life series. I havent yet and everyone talks highly of it.
Now that i'm playing Half-Life 2, I can safely say that the hype is real.
It's an absolute crime there are no Half-Life games out there right now. If Valve hadn't done so well with Steam, I'd be all over their case about it.
Maybe Half-Life 3 will be the unexpected announcement on E3?
I'm not holding my breath.
enjoy that PSP. hope your able to score a decent memory card of there so you can have some digital titles for it.
You've fallen for Half Life 2 as well? oh when will the madness ever end?!?!
Considering that the PSN Store is now avaiable on Colombia, I may indeed need a new memory card if i'm going to spend games there.
Why do you hate Half-Life anyway?
