We've found the latest cool game to spend our time with: Frets on Fire.
Very similar to Guitar Hero, this music game is played on the computer, and with your keyboard!
Also, it has a song editor, so we can rock out to songs that we know! As of now, Overtake You by Red is available to play, and Frontline by Pillar is almost done. Check it out!
We're avid video gamers. We don't play the bloody, gory games but we're still avid. Games like Call of Duty and.... StarCarft. Oh, no. Can't get me started on StarCraft.
Man, this game is so incredible, and here at home we've got it set up so we can play together from different rooms. I guess we've all got our own favorite race, but mines is Zerg. The awesome power of cheesing it with a million Hydralisks. Unlimited power. Really.
Anyway, we've all got our reps; who not to attack 'cause they'll obliterate you in an instant; who to attack because you'll obliterate them in an instant....stuff like that makes multiplayer gameplay with the same players over and over so fun.
Basically, Daddy (or Jesse, we're his kids so it's kinda weird to say Jesse), any way, he ranks high up the ladder and whenever we play we're all like: oh, no, Daddy's gonna build a million Carriers and wipe us out! So we huddle in our corners and build a million Photon Cannons to no avail. It's sad, really, but we have fun all the way.
Just today, we played StarCarft,(this is a daily thing for us) and it was a free for all. I'm building up my mass force, fending off measly attacks when suddenly we see something unexpected: jesse was eliminated. jesse had left the game.
For a full minute we sat with our jaws on the floor gawking at the incredibleness of that sentence. Never before, in a free for all, had Daddy been eliminated. Jessica and I were in the living room, Priscilla, Mateo and Daddy were in seperate rooms. Jessica and I looked at each other (subsequently looking at each others screens) in pure shock. Then, I got over it and slaughtered up Mateo and Priscilla. It was really, quite fun.
After watching the replay, Daddy wasn't well defended, at all, so he kinda just died when Mateo's Lurkers came and cut up everything in his path. I guess it's kinda over the top to say this was video game history, but for us, who's history is made while playing video games, this was, indeed video game history.
I guess it goes without saying that I've never written a blog before, but it's never too late to start. Unfortunatley, I probably won't dish out anything worthwhile, but it doesn't really matter, does it?
The latest project from Newbie Entertainment(which is the name of our "company") is a movie made solely with the Call of Duty engine. We're basically using Modern Warfare, and it's gonna be a lot of work. I've been watching tutorials and stuff for film making so we can put the shots together nicely. I believe it's going to be really cool and I'll post updates about our work whenever we get them.
Well, I guess that's it. Maybe next time I'll write something of substance.
