I'm LazyI'm really digging Puddle of Mudd. At first I wasn't so sure, but the more I listen, the more awesome they become. That took up less space then I thought. I guess I could talk about it.

I've only listened to their CD, Famous so far. I like it. A few songs that stand out are "Psycho," and "Merry-Go-Round." There's others but those were the two that came to mind right away.

I also got more into Breaking Benjamin's Phobia. It's OK. I listened to it a few times, and that's all I got from it, is that it was OK. For some reason I liked the song "Diary of Jane." Just sounds cool.

Right now, I'm listening to Juliana Theory's old CD, Understand This is a Dream. I just wanted to listen to it. The song "Duane Joseph" got stuck in my head for some reason. I miss The Juliana Theory. My regret is that I never saw them in concert. Yeah.

Let's do some Hellgate London news. Well Flagship Studios news... kinda. Anyways, I told you that the end was nigh for Hellgate. The servers are still up actually. Happy news. Namco Bandai stepped in and are running the servers. YAY!

Mythos's, the other game that Flagship was developing, servers went down though. Oh noes. I played a little bit of Mythos, and many people enjoyed the beta, but I liked Hellgate more, despite it's glitches. Anyways, after the layoffs, the team that built Mythos, (Flagship Seatle they were called) made a new company called Runic Games. They're gonna make another Action RPG MMO. I guess. I'll keep my eye on them, but I'm not making any promises of going crazy over their games... for now.

Anyways, the fate of Hellgate London is shrouded in secracy, and peppered with rumors, right now. I'm sure Flagship is working with lawyers right now. Rumors say that they are either negotiating to keep Hellgate, or they are negotiating to sell it for money. Who knows. The evil overlords of Hanbitsoft wants the IP. I don't trust them with Flagship's precious. I really hope something good happens. That's all I have to say on this subject for now.

Alright, now to my happiness right now. Resistance Fall of Man. I'm on Chapter 18 of 30 right now. A little more than half way done. This game just gets more fun (is it funner? I seriously don't know anymore. People say it both ways so much I forget which is right).

Quick side note on the subject of Funner and more fun. Apparently there's an english language forum. Who would have thunk (haha i'm funny)? Anyways, in a discussion abut this subject, "funner" or "more fun" should not be used and you should rethink your phrase to something like "more amusing."
End side note.

Continuing on with Resistance. The story is unfolding more and more. I'm getting new guns, such as the sniper rifle that can slow down time with it's alt fire. Yes!

With new guns come new enemies. Holy crap did I find a new enemy alright. It's a taller, and skinnier menial. That runs at you and pimp slaps you.

Story time again. Ran into my first frustrating moment with the game. I first met this new enemy in a experimental labratory labeled "Biohazard." Let's go in that room shall we. Anyways, I open the super secure doors to this room, and a British soldier was shooting at something. Lo and behold, it's one of these creatures that i described (looked it up and they are called Gray Jacks) walking towards this unfortunate soldier. It grabs him. I have a few seconds to save this dude and have a companion to fight with for a few minutes. I whip out the sniper rifle, slow down time with my alt fire and shoot this mother in the head. Score. I get a friend.

A friend that will stop me from screaming when a test tube floats up from a chamber in the ground loaded with another Gray Jack. Ready the sniper rifle for when he pops out of his tube, and the second he steps out, BAM headshot. Then several more tubes float up, all carriering the tall buggers. Some of them two at a time. I had 8 bullets for the sniper rifle, and used one most of the time (sometimes two though).

I replayed this part several times. I got through it the first time easily. It's the second part that was a pain. The developers should have put a checkpoint after killed the 10 Gray Jacks. Yeah it only takes one hit with the sniper rifle, but I don't have the best aim, and there's two extra Gray Jacks anyways. So I used my heavies rifle, and tear into them with it. I use at least one full clip of this rifle to take one down. They are strong and they charge at you.

Anyways, I said there needs to be a check point after this part because the next part is a pain. You fight against a room full of weaker enemies, with a mix of stronger enemies carrying the gun that can shoot through walls. They don't miss usually. I died several times and had to refight the Gray Jacks, only to die again at the hands of these enemies. I got frustrated and said "I quit!". But then I didn't quit. I said one more time, and expected to die again. Boy was I lucky. I got it, barely. And was rewarded with a cut scene furthering the mystery of this story. Fun times.

Sorry for the long paragraph [I broke it up into six]. Moving on.

I've been keeping an eye on Resistance 2 (looks more enjoyable then the first one). New guns, new enemies, and apparently the first one leaves a cliff hanger of sorts. I don't know yet.

Anyways, with the new game coming out in November, Insomnia Games has put out several mysterious, marketing websites. I hate them. I hate mystery websites that make you click around to solve the mystery. It bugs me. They're in Flash. So I have to explore the area and find documents and read them and sort out the mystery. I hate it.

Donnie Darko had one, so did Portal, and several other sites.

If you're interested, there are 4 of them: Project Abraham, America First America Only, Get a War Job, and SpraNet [broken links - all four removed]. All with the pretty Resistance army logo. Yay.

Anyways, I think I'm done here.

Bye.
