I know, I can already hear you all muttering, "It's about goddamn time you posted again!" I've been pretty consumed with a multitude of things and have yet to post anything new, and for that I am sorry. But the last month has been so full of glorious things. Marvel vs. Capcom 3, GDS, Minecraft, Dragon Age: Origins(again), and so on. So, I will try to touch on as many of these things as possible. So, here we go, in no particular order...
On the topic of the internet sensation known as Minecraft, a new update was added. It wasn't some insane, 6gb update, though it made me play it like it was an update that large. The only elements they added, which are awesome, are the ability to create a bed, a new lighting system, new save system, and the ability to have more than 5 worlds saved. The bed is awesome though. It allows you to sleep though the night, just like a real bed. Sleeping in the bed automatically takes you to the next morning, so you no longer need to stay awake and fight zombies throughout the night if you don't wish to. A subtle change, but enough to suck me back in for several hours.
Then we had GDC, and to be honest, I found this years Game Developers Conference to be a bit lacking. There were some good announcements, and leaks, but overall it was a bit weak. All the Battlefield 3 info was amazing! And the leaked videos made me rejoice! But Bioware really didn't reveal anything, and that makes me sad, though PAX East is this weekend, and they are supposed to be making some announcements, stay tuned...
Dragon Age: Origins, my my. I just recently picked it up again in anticipation of Dragon Age II, but this time I picked it up on PC. I should have done this since day one, but then again, I did not have a PC that could run it at the time. If you haven't played it, do yourself a favor and pick it up, it is an amazing game. But it has once again been taking over my life, in addition to the other thing that has been keeping me from posting. And that brings me to...
Marvel vs. Capcom 3, holy shit! Is this game anything short of AMAZING?! It's almost perfectly balanced, which is a rarity in the fighting game world. I hear many people bitching about it, saying it blows, but these are the people that are angry that they can't use the team of Magneto, Storm, and Sentinal to completely wreck everybody. It's the best fighter Capcom has released in many years. Now, if they would just work on a new Rival Schools, I would be smitten...
Well, that pretty much has us caught up on what my month has looked like. I wanted to get this posted before tomorrow, because Dragon Age II will most likely rule my life for awhile. So, until next time...
