Girlfriend...

Hello everyone. I have some sad news for all my blogger friends and my clanmates.

You probably all noticed that I wasn't posting that much this last days.

Well I kinda have a girlfriend now and as you know it can give a huge break to a gamer's life.

But don't worry it won't be so. It's just the beggining but I can still play with her.

So keep waiting I keep playing and I'll give big update soon.

See you soon mates.

Recettear + No car refund :/

 

I'm back from a festval so sorry for the waiting but I'm back on tracks.

I even took contacts with several old clans I was in to participate in my blog posts.

I finished the first part of this game RECETTEAR a while ago and I have to admit that it is enjoyable.

You get really charmed by the atmosphere inside the game. Classic Japanese RPG style with wonderful characters. But the gameplay is unique.

You are a Item SELLER and you see the adventurers as your clients. So basically you can finish the video-game by setting prices for individual clients and take the most profit of it. The first goal of the game if to refinance loans to your investor. You can adapt to the market prices and even recognise the pigeon in every consumer.

There are also parts of the game where you can play dungeons as an adventurers but in the end you don't really feel like finishing everything.

I have to say I loved it but it's still a capitalist game and as you're probably aware of I'm against the monetary system so I wanted to make that post and uninstall tne software from my computer.

And would also like to express my rage about what happened.some months ago. I parked my car in front of my home in town. And some garage owner parked his car INSIDE mine. I waited but I get no money from car accident lawyer. So I may have to invest in new parts soon. But I want to buy a couple of games soon so I may wait for the price to go low. I'll talk about them soon ;)

Braid

I'm pratically sure this post will be useless cause I guess this game will stay in every hardcore gamer's brain. But if not why didn't you try Braid ?

I won't even spoil the key to the gameplay for those who are discovering the name.

But trust me you will remind forever this game.

It will muscle some part of your brain that you had no idea they was there.

I finished the game a long time ago but I still don't have all achievments. One of them is for the semi speedrun of the game so it won't be easy.

This looks like Mario and it is like Mario but as I said earlier there's a major change in the gameplay that define the essence of Braid.

Has anyone heard about some custom mapsby the way ?

Portal update and Online Key Store

Just a quick update my friends to show you my own screenshot of my Portal completion.

Here it is:

I miss the selected chamber on silver to reach the achievment but I'll soon get it.

I also tried the map pack that add the flash game's level. And as I heard it really is the best map pack ever. Also better then Portal 2 in my opinion.

Talking about Portal 2 I have to recommand a very good website.

Online key store    or even OKS

I bought my Portal 2 key and had to wait a bit before they shipped it to me but still it went so nice that I think I will buy again over there next time. I get it for 35E and it was 32 the day after. I paid by credit card and I was satisfied with the transaction. Try it if you want Portal 2 as well.

For all those who thought PORTAL 1 was short and easy !

I'd like to make a point about PORTAL 1 today.

 

I've started playing it when buying the new Orange box as many of you surely did. And I went through the game having much fun for 4/5 hours but then nothing. I tried the avanced map wich are 6 maps of the game remixed to be a bit harder. And a bit weird sometimes so not much fun in the end. But still it is a game you can't forget.

And I know most of my friends played the game this way !

But long ago going in a local oraganised LAN I was so fed up that people played counter-strike all day long that me and a friend started playing PORTAL 1 in the middle of the day. (Marv Lap1 was present this day ;) My friend told me : Hey ! Ever tried the CHALLENGE maps ?

Since the avanced maps didn't give me anything to dream on it was true that I didn't even tried them.

So he started showing me what it was really all about.

To explain shortly you have the 6 individual maps with challenge attached to it. Look at this picture:

Yes it's this screen that give you the real game in the end. Many people didn't even tried it myself included. But you have to by exemple finish one map with 10 portals. Wich gives you the first bronze medal (next medals are hidden wich is great when you dicover the next goal) And it goes decrescendo to reach by exemple 4 portals to have the gold.

Wich leads to many surprise of how the HELL you can finish the map with less steps less time or less portals.

It will makes you find inside yourself techniques that was totally not needed in the main solo game.

I started playing that challenges again this days cause it still not is over. You'll need so much time compared to the max 6 hours of the main adventure. For now I finished the first 3 maps all in gold and I get the all bronze achievement.

So my question to all you gamers and then probably possessing the first Portal.

Did you tried the challenges map ? And if no you definatly should.

TOKI TORI !

I bought this game on steam not really knowing what to expect.

The ad came from Rush an other great game.

But I was really really well surprised by it.

Look at the next picture

 

Looks like a plateforme game right ?

Well it's not. It's a puzzle and high reflexion game.

The goal is to reach every eggs on the map.

As in Braid you can rewind but most of the time you have to analyse the level really long and then you can take the perfect way.

Every object you can use modify the whole gameplay.

It was included in the Steam's potato sack promotion and I personnaly think it's a must have. Some new levels are added and I didn't even solve one HARD level. Yeah they are THAT HARD !

I'll post about my improvment on it soon cause I'm really into this game this days.
