Okay! So where have I been for the last few weeks? Gone of course. But I've been playing Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G! (Long name, I know). If you support the MH series, you should buy the UMD from Japan and read up on how to apply the English patch since it's not coming to the U.S., shame isn't it? I've taken a lot of ingame screen shots, they're not really of the epic sort, I don't take good shots and I always leave up the hub which kind of ruins the view but at least you'll see a lot of dead animals. Wooo.

Left 4 Dead !!! It's a multi-player/co-op Zombie FPS SHOOTAN GAEM by Valve with an AI director that spawns infected according to how well you and 3 other players (or computer AI) are playing, along with boss infected to make things more interesting. It'll be released in 20 days but before then there's a demo coming out on Nov. 6th if you pre-order. So whether you get it for the 360 or PC (... I recommend PC :D ) pre-order through Gamestop or Steam!!

Anyway, one different thing Valve is doing differently with marketing is actually spending $10M on an ad campaign. So I've been on the look out for billboards and ads around my area since they've been targeting major cities.

Show me your S4! I've been waiting for the final game to come out which is why it took so long to get this post written.. The beta ended around the 25th of August and the final game opened up October 7th.  If you're interested you can register and download the game here. It's free and at least it was pretty fun shooting things up in the beginner servers.

I only got to make up to level 6 but the character designs and clothing are nicely done... and it just makes you want to keep playing to unlock the clothing you want, upgrade, get better weapons, and acquire new skills. I'm sure you can find other sites for more info so I'll give a quick overview and elaborate a bit on the art style.

Papercraft! It's quite the hobby, there are so many templates out there of pretty much anything - gundams, tables, dolls, weapons, consoles... anime characters.. paperweights, etc. Every once in a while I frequent the /po/ board (aka, Papercraft and Origami) just to see what people have been making. At the time (around November 2007), Portal was a huge hit and this craze for the Weighted Companion Cube spread everywhere.
