Vaping Everywhere.
I read an article today about a man ejected from a flight for refusing to cease using his ecig on a plane. The link to the article is here: Man booted from flight after refusing to put out electric cigarette. I being an avid vaper and member of the Vaping community as well as a CASAA supporter, thought this was a perfect time to comment on the “Vape everywhere” pseudo-movement in the Vaping community.
Gender in Gaming: The Glass ceiling.
Let me get this out of the way first. I am a male. I am also not a white knight. I feel the internet is a no holds barred Thunderdome where only one man leaves any altercation the same way he came into it, complete with shoulder dwarves and 80′s hair sporting Tina Turner. We are all gender-less here, with only our keyboards as weapons. I game with my wonderful partner in crime and parenting DizzyAustere. Wonderful lady and general bad ass gamer. we play everything from L4D2 to Bejeweled 3 not to mention various MMOs together and it is a blast honestly. I never see her as less than a gamer or any less competent than I am when it comes to “getting it done” in whatever game we are playing. Despite my views of being gender-less in video games it is sadly not the norm. denying that there is a “glass ceiling” in gaming would be a lie. There are a few schools of thought on reacting to “girl” gamers.
My start in Gaming.
Once again I am inspired by reddit to write something. I was as usual per my morning routine browsing the scattered remains of links that I haven’t clicked on at reddit and stumbled on a thread about What Started Your Love for Gaming. I made a short reply as usual then i started thinking about it. There is a lot more to my start of gaming than I realized.
The thread in question is: Reddit.com
Bioshock Infinite Trailer
A new trailer has appeared for the next installement of the wonderful Bioshock seris. I am greatly anticipating what they do with this game! The last two throughly impressed me, despite some of the issues i had with the DRM in the original.
So watch it. Would you kindly?
Diablo3 Opening Cinemetic at SpikeTV
So I am sure you have all heard of the Spike Video Game Awards. Aside from Skyrim winning the only surprise I had was the Diablo3 opening cinematic appearing to remind me yet again we aren’t actually playing this game yet. Why? NO idea maybe creating the console version is important o some knuckledraggers but to thsi longtime Diablo connoisseur Blizzard needs to release it already! I AM SALIVATING LIKE SOME SORT OF SALIVATING MONSTER. I yearn to waste the next 5 years of my life doing Mephisto runs, but instead of Mephisto some other badguy with good loot, maybe this one has a hammer instead of angel fairy magic.
Epic Vapey Mark’s Mod Giveaway Entry
I decided to enter the Epic Vapey Mark’s Mod Giveaway Entry , using the skills that I have, I made a game! I made all the graphics myself, which is why they are terrible. It is a very simple game which i will try and release maps for on a semi regular basis, if there is a CORE game update it will be released as a patch. Run the EXE and extract it into a directory of your chosing. AND PLAY!
The objective is to collect all the scavenger hunt items on each level as quickly as possible while picking up juice bottles for bonus points!
