In the seventeen years that South Park has graced the airwaves, fans have been subjected to the horror and torment of a wide assortment of video games that were palatable at best and flat out blasphemous at their worst. They lacked everything that makes South Park fans tingle with excitement: gratuitous amounts of foul language, over-the-top violence, crazy characters, blatant insults veiled behind a mask of satire, and the raw unapologetic use of every conceivable taboo with the intention to offend. But years later it seems that our cries of injustice were finally heard. Here it finally is, the definitive South Park experience chock full of enough smut, vulgarity, and sexism, to satisfy the sick twisted bastards that we all are.
So, South Park:The Stick of Truth came out last week. Having beat the game, I can say that it's really fucking good. A little too vague, particularly with the puzzles and the fart mechanics do not quite work as well as they should, but that doesn't change that the game is every South Park fan's wet dream. It doesn't ignore any of South Park's past, jokes, gags, and characters they don't really touch anymore such as Mr. Hankey and Professor Chaos are present. It's just great.

I've been a bit busy lately. I want to game, but I hadn't had much time to do it. I have more than a few games set up though. As time becomes available, I put in a few mintues here and there when I can.
South Park: Stick of Truth has been heavily butchered from the inside out like the hooker from Se7en because it was censored in Australia. It also doesn't come out for like 3 more days here. So, naturally, I pre-ordered the game on Xbox 360 (both of my brothers are huge south park fans, so I want them to be able to play it) and pirated the PC version so I could play the game uncensored and unraped by sexually repressed religious nazis..
Fuck this game. Fuck it up it's stupid fucking ass. I was having a tonne of fun with it until the fucking quick time events, which are FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE! Seriously, it's broken. No matter how hard I hammer the buttons I just can't get passed them. It's fucking ludicrous. Hammer S as hard as you can. I hammered it so hard the key came loose. Still nothing. I plugged my gamepad in. Still no luck. HOW THE FUCK DO I PASS THIS SHIT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Hey Pixlbit. It's been a while since I've posted something on here. I've just been waiting for South Park to release so I can write about it. From the very first announcement of this game, I've been anxiously waiting to play it and it's finally here! If you're a fan of the South Park show, you'll definitely love this game. For those who don't really watch it, this game is still fun, but you might not get most of the references the town of South Park has as you progress through the game.
Well, I think we can say BaD was a rousing success this year. Not all of us finished a blog a day (I didn’t – missed one or two) but that doesn’t matter. For those that did, I commend you. There were some great blogs this month, with standouts by Greenman and Gigantor, who managed to write deep, industry related blogs every day. Then there was Travis’s Kong a Day (crippled by that infernal Frothy Bird!) which I enjoyed as well. I can’t remember everyone’s blogs, but I made sure to read as many as I could, and commented as much as I could. Some of you gave up, some of you tried your best, some of you managed to do all 28 days. All in all, I think it was an exceptional turnout, and really an example of how awesome this community is.
So I'm going to take a short break from Crash because I'm mentally exhausted right now and frankly, the last two Crash blogs deserve a Greenman at the top of his game, or at least one of them. I'm going out of order for them to end BaD with a bang, because I have.....things to say. So today, I'm just going to go with something mindless. And since I'm psyched for South Park: The Stick of Truth's release next week, I'll talk about the show.
Just looking through the games coming out in March. Question is, which do I buy day-one and which do I wait for? It's a really tough decision. Buying all of them would probably cost $250 which is way beyond my budget. One, maybe two of them is possible.
Hello Pixlbit. Hope everyone had a good Friday. The weekend is almost here which means I'll have some free time to post some stuff. Just thought I should write a blog before the day ends. I was just curious to find out what games you all are looking forward to this year. Feel free to list everything. There might be a title that I could look into that will catch my interest.
Hey Pixlbit. Hope you all are having a great week so far. So lately I've been putting most of my gaming time with Bravely Default and Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag. I recently paid off South Park: The Stick of Truth and have Titanfall pre ordered. For some reason, something came over me and wanted to get a game that's coming out next week, which is Thief and Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare.
Hey Pixlbit! Just wanted to give you a recap on how this week went. So from my last post, I talked about the debate between Bravely Default and Toukiden: The Age of Demons. Well I finally decided and picked up Bravely Default. I cannot tell you how great this game is. Even thought I haven't played the older Final Fantasy games, they really feel like the type of turn based strategy battle system it uses. The story so far (I've only put in 4 hours) is great! I love the story behind each character and their personalities. Toukiden I will eventually get if I see it pre owned at my local Gamestop stores to try it out. Besides, I read some articles stating that Playstation has announced a Sly Cooper and God of War collection for the Vita so I'm very excited to get my hands on those.
2014 looks good, but after 2013 it's pretty clear that any year after would be a step down. Still, here's a few of games I'm most excited for. Can't really think of ten games I'm super excited for, so here's eight
I remember the first footage I ever saw of Bioshock Infinite. It was awesome and I really got pumped for the game. Then I found out that it had been delayed to later that year, and then delayed to the next year, and then delayed a month later. All of these delays tempered my enthusiasm for the game. It was no longer a Day One purchase for me. The only reason that I had picked it up within a month of its release was because of my birthday. The biggest disappointment that I had with Bioshock Infinite is the fact that the initial footage that I saw never made it into the game... I bring this up because I am worried that something similar will happen to South Park: The Stick of Truth. Now that it has been delayed to next year, I am no longer excited about the game. There is something else that might be affecting my excitement for South Park and that is...
My Xbox 360. The 360 is currently my only means to play these big multi-platform releases. This is fine in and of itself, because it is a great console. The problem is that I no longer enjoy playing games on it. This feeling has been sitting with me for the past few months. In fact, I am sure that this feeling can be traced back to the announcement of the Xbox One. I guess that I do not want to give Microsoft any more of my money. I don't think that they deserve any of it. Last week I went and picked up a copy of Arkham Oranges... for the Wii U. I do not even own a Wii U, so why would I ever buy a game for it? I do want a Wii U, and will hopefully have one by the years end.
There is a bright spot in what appears to be a fairly depressing blog. My love of videogames has not diminished. I just have been focusing my attention onto my handhelds, both the Vita and 3DS. I have found myself taking a break from EOU to play Kid Icarus and Arkham Origins: Blackgate. There is a sprinkling of El Shaddai in there as well.
My love of playing games does not fix the apathy that I am currently displaying towards my 360. I am working through potential solutions, but only one seems to be sticking out as the best course of action. I am going to have to pack it up and put it into storage. I do not hink that I can do it today or tomorrow, but I will do it soon. There are a couple of games that I would like to finish, or replay before I say goodbye to my 360 for an extended period of time. I would be remiss if I did not finish El Shaddai, and with all of the Batman talk around the internet I would really like to play some Arkham Asylum. oh, and maybe a little bit of Dark Souls, I hear that game is awesome.
I will finish up with a little something that happened the last time I was in Gamestop. While talking with one of the employees, the topic of next-gen gaming came up. I said something about not being all that excited about that this year. I am much more excited to play Super Mario 3D World. He came back with a wonderful response along the lines of... ... Nintendo, they are still good for one thing, fun games. I guess that is what I really want from the next generation. I want fun games, which is probably why I want a Wii U because those games look fun to me.
Well hello! Long time no blog, Setz, you say. Yes, it's true that I have been lurking more than writing. Plus I still don't have internet at home, so that's a downer, but now that I have settled into my new place and started working again, I'm hoping to be back participating in discussions like misogyny and retro games on a full time basis before the year is out. What I want to share today is what I am looking forward to this holiday season before the year is out. Call it a wish list if you will. Let's start.
First off, let me just say how insane 2013 looks. This is one of the craziest Falls I have seen in a long time, for me at least. So I thought I'd put the games that look at least good enough to pick up around day one for now for the rest of the year.
I was reading an article on Game Rant about 3 titles that have been kind of in limbo for a while that might make an apperance at E3. How they came to this info is quite interesting because I went to the site they talked about and it shows whos attending E3 and some show their products when you click on the link for them. Im gonna post a few with their products under their name. The 3 games by the way are Warriors Lair, Beyond Good and Evil 2, and The Last Guardian.
I know some of you see the TBA ( To Be Annouced) on the side of some games being developed. Well sometimes that TBA means That Bitch Aint coming out. Look at some of the games this recently happened to.
