Oblivion


Oblivion, the cornerstone of rpgs.
If your a Rpg newbie, or even a veteran, you cant go wrong with oblivion.
It will eat hours of your life without you even knowing it, and the graphics are simply amazing for a game published in 2004. It may not be Half life 2 or Crysis, but its still amazingly real.

The game is amazing in terms of gameplay; people will run away when attacked, or if they are brave enough, they will fight you to the death. The city guards have amazing fields of view, so try not to be too obvious if your trying to steal everyones' possesions. ^^

Playing through the entire game, including all the extra quests and dungeon crawling, it would take a very long time to complete. Most of the time, you sort of forget about some quests, and just go hunting to increase your levels.

Theres four main paths your character can go down: A Fighter (good at absorbing damage, and dishing it back out), A Mage or Wizard (bringing the elements to destroy their enemies), a stealthy character (exceptional at sneak attacks and stealing others possesions), or a hybrid of these three main paths.

From the moment that you create your character, you can tell that the game will be an amazing and enthralling experience.

The best way to increase the games replay value is by downloading mods. In this game, mods are essential there to fix the little things that Bethseda Inc missed.

Out of 10, I would give this game a 8 1/2.
It has times where the gameplay is dull, and you feel lost in the immense world, but there is also times where you feel that you cannot be beaten with your Armor of Ownage, and your sword of Nooblet Bashing =3

Catchya later, Thantos

Team Fortress 2

Sorry for the delay, I got sidetracked. Anyway, Team Fortress 2. My history of online FPS's consists of Unreal Tournament 2004, a little bit of Quake 3 at a friend's house, Half-Life 2 Deathmatch, and Team Fortress 2. Since I have no history with class-based fps warfare, I will just say this: Team Fortress 2 is fucking awesome. Balanced classes, intense combat and a touch of humor are what give this game its extreme awesomeness. The classes in TF2 are thus: The Scout for swift scattergunning action, the Pyro for burninating ferocity, the Soldier for good old-fashioned RPG firing havoc, the Heavy for some Russian-themed, dumbed-down minigunning, the Demoman for k'boom blammo stickymine nadefirin' explosive combat, the Engineer for sentry-centered lying in wait, the Medic for healing/needling, the Sniper for crazy headshots, and the Spy for backstabbing supremacy.The maps are pretty good, but they do get a bit boring after a long time of playing on them. To shake things up, there is a custom maps option for bizarre variations of TF2, such as birthday party TF2, low-grav TF2, and instant respawn TF2. Another fun thing to do is check out the custom maps- my personal favorites are orange_x and duel_duel2.
As a final note, I would say this game is extremely competetive as a multiplayer fps. It has a low entrance barrier (see my esteemed coleague Draztak's run-down of fps's at www.draztakblog.blogspot.com), so little noobs should consider this as their first adventure into the online fps world as opposed to COD4 or Halo 3. That's all for now, this is Jimbo, signing out.

Ow.

Well, it's official. I have braces. You may be thinking to youself, gee, I wonder why that muscly hunk of literary genius got braces when his teeth seemed okay to me. Well, apparently (thanks for the compliment, by the way), I'm an imperfect being. I've been one my entire life and just recently found out. Now that my braces are yanking my teeth back into a natural position, however, I shall soon be a perfect being.
The process of getting the braces on consisted mainly of strange women sticking little metal things in my mouth and then shining a big heat ray onto them, all the while cramming my gullet with foul-tasting cotton swabs. It took about an hour and a half, and I came out looking as good as new. At least I think I did, my reflection cracked the mirror and I couldn't see it all that well.
