Still on Portal 2 at the moment and I finally found my partner in science who helped me through the co-op who is none other then the famous Rydou !

Yeah you probably remind him from the well-known clan CVF

He played the P-body bot and I did the wonderfull Atlas.

<-----------

He decided to buy the game and we played it once for now. We will get the achievments soon. But I'm kinda disapointed that he felt necessary to get spoiled on the solo achievments :/ (I know, I know I wonder my friends)


  Apart from some 4/5 rooms that made us perplex it was kinda fast and too short as usual but still it was great !


Anyway it would always be too easy for the dream team that we are
Can you immagine the combinated power of two major gamers of all time ?



I can even tell you that we hugged many times and I think I even had a boner for him.
I'll tell you more later.

Portal 2 !



Dudes I get it yesterday in the morning ! At least my morning but I had so many crap things in my mind full of... that I started it last night.

I'll make a full report when I'll have it "completed" but as far as I reached I'm kinda disapointed by it. I saw that there's no medals like in the first one and the main adventure feel more like you discover the wonderfull views (they are) but don't solve master puzzles.

I bought it on an online store that sells keys and I get it for the preorder price even if it was past the steam prorder.

I'm even looking for a co-op partner so fill the form to be in the 1337 team ;)

More of AC 2.5

Ok sorry everyone I have not been here that much this last days.

But I haven't been doing nothing !

I "finished" Assassin's Creed 2.5 and I'm still trying to get the pure 100%
I realised by playing that you can buy some maps wich reveal every places where there's the rare item to find.
So to follow the second opus I bought the ones that show every treasure places but not the feathers and flags.

I'm not done about the game right now but here's some stat I reached by finishing the main story.


I get as well 8 feathers on 10 and I miss 3 treasures. Wich lead me to 89% of the game.

I will buy the maps as soon as I searched the last secret locations.

And I post today to show the other Zeitgeist messages I could find in the puzzles.

Hidden messages in Assassin's s Creed ?

I'm still playing Assassin's creed 2.5 this days and it's so wonderful ! Really the ultimate AC for me. I may even try to get the pristine 100%

But something catched my eye going through the game.

Has every gamer who played the serie knows there's a feature not necessary to end the game that's called "The truth"

It's some sort of riddle that leads to a fragment of video. If you find them all you get the whole video.

In this opus the riddles are getting extremly hard and I still didn't take the time to finish them. But I noticed something.


 Look at the subtitles ! Behind the idea in the game that templars are behind every conspiracy we actually believe in our own world. I think here that the conceptors of the game try to give a message. 
A message that is non politic nor religious.

I've been interested this last months on a movement called the Zeitgeist movement.
This particular movement is made of scientists who show that labour today is modern slavery and that removing the monetary system and replace it by a ressource base economy would remove the cancer of our society. Like hunger poverty war and politic.


Here as well you can see the message similar to Zeitgeist.


I think it's awesome to share that idea in one of the best game of the year. And I don't think it will stop ! The movement is grass root and it will lead to many form of art.

If you're interested here's the link of the video that explains the movement.


There's subtitles in many languages.
So what do you think ? Are they sharing the ideas of the movement ?
I'll keep posting screenshots about it as I go through the riddle but they are really hard this time :) 
I love it.

Fallout


I guess all of you know the Fallout serie. Everytime you talk about it with gamers it reminds of our own childhood mostly for the first and second opus.


To me it was hell. Every time I tried it I failed. It was long ago I don't really know the reasons anymore. 
I remind going too fast to the last zone, running out of time. I even guess that time thing always worried me too much. So basically only fails and I forgot about the game.


But some years ago a friend of mine told me : "Hey you should try boosting Agility"
I tried and yeah it wasn't much a talent I would upgrade in the beggining. Here it changed my game and I managed to finish it.....so quickly. Because yes Fallout 1 is short but really good.


And has all of you probably knows it leads to something huge :)

Zork ????


Ok here's the most uncommon classic. And it will be the only screenshot to show. 

Zork is a textual game where you basically type what you want to do and it writes back what happens on this wonderful DOS window. Even as a child I played some Amstrad games like this where you had to choose between 6 choices all the time. But here you have to actually write the whole sentance. I used to think that a game made that way couldn't have a nice gameplay. But I was wrong !

The way you use the verbs in Zork is really user-friendly and the game understand so many different way of saying anything that you don't even think about making the computer get what you want. I'm stuck not that far in the game so I can't really talk about the scenario but I played other Zork games and the background is gold ! Most of the game happens underground and there's many humoristic and satiric characters.

Last word will be that this game is extremly hard due to the variety of actions ! Even with drawing a map you get lost and some things are really hard to figure out. I think this is the only game I can't play alone. I heard a whole team managed to finish it and I guess you need several minds to end it.

Here's a link where you can play it on your navigator:
Try to find the manual online it's better being a bit prepared at least to save the game.
If anyone wants to join  teamspeak on a regular basis to finish it you're welcome.

Trackmania United Forever !



This days I'm going to present first the games I kinda pwn. And this one is one of my heartbeat cause I have a 8th position for one map on world ranking. I have as well loads of good times but this is my best one.

For those who don't know trackmania is the perfect car game for those who doesn't really like car games. This is absolutely not realistic (You can still accelerate or slow down while in air) so it's just fun. There's only 4 buttons but the game is played at ESWC every year and the E-sport dimension is huge.


To be short I bought tis game something like 7 years ago and even if I don't play more then 4 times a year when I do it I do it with passion and it still is a game I don't get tired of.

When I first started playing there was a tournament in a well known European store. There I went with some friends to win but I had a big surprise ! When I arrived my friend who came earlier told me that there was no hope winning. I couldn't even believe him so I did my best and made something like 35.xx secs on the map pwning my friends. But then I checked the score on the board and it was written 32.xx .........
3 whole seconds I couldn't believe it ! I asked who was the alien and they told me it's this quite guy on the bench over here. I went to him and said: "From witch planet are you from ?" then we started talking about the game and we agreed to play after the tournament exchanging contacts. He beated the world record playing on  the map this day. I kept contact with him and he was often showing me results of trackmania tournament with France written, I thought he was showing me some stats of his little team.

This is where it gets fun ! 6 months later I look at the ESWC video and what did I see ?????? This guy from my region who won 1st place ! He then made 2nd and 4th every other years.


Sometimes I smile when I see that I beat one of his times ;) But enough for the epic stories. This game is so much worth it. It's 30 Euros since it's out and there's every game on the serie compiled in one. The whole stat system is the best I ever see in any game. I don't get tired of it after 7 years. There's a load of mods that I even prefere to the normal game wich already includes 7 differents types of gameplay. Plus try to immagine that the demo version had 9000+ maps coming out every DAY ! Needless to say you can't even put a number to the hours of fun you can have with trackmania forever.

Science and Industry.

Since this blog is about my video game career I have to say that I've been and still am world champion of this Half life 1 mod: SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.


The main purpose of this mod is to make more money then the rival company. To do that you must have more scientists working for you. So basically it's a capture the flag with humans as a flag. My role in the team is to attack so I do capture them.


But it doesn't stop there. Many things changes the course of the game and each map has his own specialities but the most interesting is the vote system. You start with only a briefcase and a gun to defend yourself. But the scientist are actually making reaserch for the team so every reaserch round there's a vote. The result of that vote leads to the next technology. It can go from new guns to new legs to go faster, jump modules, armor, and even upgrading the cofee strenght to make scientists work faster. It changes the whole strategyt at every game.



We still play on every sunday evening where there's a semi organised match taking place. This is an under appreciated mod but the fact is the community is made of the best elite of gamers. We even had 2 of the speedrunner from half life 1 playing.

No need to say you have to try it.

Assassin's creed brotherhood

Well yesterday I started Assassin's creed brotherhood wich is the 2.5's opus of the serie supposed to be a trilogy..



I don't know if some of you played it but the first was kinda lame but the second gives life to the whole serie. I really enjoyed playing it but it still was kinda quick to reach the end.

But with this one I really feel like I'm gonna spend some time on it. Missions ask for special objectives to finish with 100% and the beauty of it makes me wanna find all the crap hidden on the whole map.

I feel like they gave interest to every single crappy aspect the last games had.
I'll give a screenshot with everything finished when it's done but I can say that apart from the 100+ objects to find everywhere I finished the 2 first games 100%


I'll post a recap anyway but for now I'll have to play some nights ;)

The wonderful end of the world


Well yesterday I finished this game with all achievments

(Special tribute to Rydou ;))

Took me 6/7 hours but still I really enjoyed it !

The game is a remake of the playstation's Katamari, wich was needed for a true PC gamer. The game isn't as huge as the PS one but basically you start being a buch of molecules that sticks everything you pass on. You can start little as a model car in a mall and end the level eating the whole shop.

The game has a time attack functionality so if ever anyone has good time don't hesitate challenging me it'll motivate me to build good performances.

I strongly recommend to try it even if the videos don't really show the fun you can have playing it !

Best achievment ever !


I've never been so proud of anything. This achievment was hell to get.
You can check the 3 levels to get it on youtube.
It is actually a group of levels inspired on "I wanna be the guy" wich is one of the hardest game ever made

If you don't know super meat boy it is the proof that old fashioned game can bring you more fun than fancy graphics games.

Best game I bought in 2010 I strongly recommend it !
It is so complete (500 levels + editor)





For those who don't know Buckethead is my hero !

Even with his blinding speed he keeps notes into pure emotions.

But this is one of the most peacefull he ever made.

Good to rest and dream. Have fun friends.
