The end of user videos??

Right, what is going on now? I go on to my Gamespot profile like I do every morning and to my utter horror I see that the latest video I did was not there but instead a message saying, "Sorry, this video was deleted by its creator". I was thinking, "What the Hell?" and checked my video section only to see that all the videos I have done since June were completely gone.

I thought this was a problem with my own profile but then I checked NeoJedi's profile to see the same thing and that is no video but the same message. Also, checked a few more and the same thing again.

What is going on here seriously? Is this another glitch courtesy of the Gamespot website or shudder to say, the end of user videos on Gamespot? I seriously hope it is the former and just a glitch but what kind of glitch deletes every user's videos they have done. Then again, they might be reworking on the user video system but maybe not. Is this the end of user videos on Gamespot? I seriously hope not because I love doing video blogs and watching my friend's video blogs here on Gamespot and half the fun I have on Gamespot will be taking away because of this.

Please don't let it end. If any of you guys know what's going down, let me know because this is getting ridiculous.

EDIT: As I expected, it was probably a glitch or something and that the servers were down because the videos are up and running again. Phew!

Darro's Delights Episode 1

[video=ciRiwzTw5bkPuDPW]

Well, here it is folks. The first episode of Darro's Delights featuring Klonoa: Door to Phantomile. With gameplay footage, which is not entirely great since it is on a webcam but soon I will get a video capture device for games and have better footage of course.

So watch and enjoy! Also, please leave questions for my video blog please!

EDIT: I made a mistake in the video after watching through it. When I talked about his jump similar to Yoshi etc. I meant to say Luigi from SMB 2 instead of Peach.  Also, the citizens you rescued are not always in the eggs but in these bubbles that show the logo corresponding to that area.

Darro's Delights Later Today

Hello, guys and gals. Darrogamer06 bringing you an update on my life as well as the go ahead for my new weekly feature, Darro's Delights!

The first episode of this new feature will be done today and as I stated yesterday it will be a PS1 game that will be on it. For the record it is not any of the following games:

Final Fantasy VII, VIII or IX or any other FF game I have
Metal Gear Solid or the VR Missions

It is not a hugely popular game by any means. It is a game known as Klonoa: Door to Phantomile and is somewhat of a platformer you may say and a really enjoyable one at that. It is not wicked hard now but quite easy. More information about this game will be in the episode but if you want to know more, check out the review here!

In other news, I played on the Xbox 360 and played some Saint's Row with Andy and Thorpe, members of the Franchise and did alright although one of the matches was a nightmare (3 on 4 and wouldn't let us have a bloody chance). Then played some co-op Gears of War with Mr James "Jimb0" Logan and had a blast! Played with him from the end of Act 1 with the Berserker to the end of Act 2 with that annoying vehicular part with the junker and the blasted Kryll. Did a good job overall although we did get killed a bunch of times and some of them were bit accidental. I see he went on with someone else since he has completed Act 2 so hopefully I can continue with him later on today in Act 3.

BTW, if anyone would like to play some co-op Gears, let me know as I would like someone to help me through Insane difficulty because for me at least, that is the difficulty that you MUST have someone with you to play co-op with. If so, I will be very much appreciative of it.

Anyway, that is the update of my gaming life so until later on today, Darrogamer06 is signing out telling you all to keep on gaming and to ROCK ON!!!

New Feature!

Hey guys.  I am here once again to bring you another blog.

I am thinking of doing a new feature in addition to my weekly video blog and I just have the idea of picking out some games to play that people might or might not know of in which I consider them as great games or classics.  I have a name for the feature and it is pretty stupid but here goes:  Darro's Delights!  Told you it sucked.

Anyway, if you guys are up for this then I will do a pilot episode of it this week with a special PS1 game and no it ain't Final Fantasy VII.  First I will talk about the game and why I think its great etc.  Then I will show some gameplay footage if that particular game.  Like Darro's Den but not in 4 parts! 

Played some WoW last night with the  guild I am in and we did the Deadmines, which was fun and got some good items to sell off to auctions if possible.  Just wish I can play with some of my friends here on GS on the US servers but unfortunately, stuck on the European servers. 

Well until next time, keep on gaming!

What the Hell??!!

Once in a while, I check on ebay to see what the prices are going for games like Paper Mario & Castlevania SOTN.  Wasn't a lot of auctions for SOTN but I came across this one here:

Ebay Auction for SOTN


Ok, is this guy seriously taking the p***?  Why in the hell would anyone want to pay that much money for 3 PSX games especially that 2 of them probably suck.  I checked auctions for those two games and they are going for cheap prices so what is this guy's problem?  You can get a Wii at that price here and you are better off doing that instead of wasting £180 on that disgrace of an auction.  Whoever actually buys on that auction is a idiot and basically wasting money. 

Yes SOTN does go for around £60 on ebay when I see them but this is just ridiculous.  Let me hear your thoughts on this auction.

EDIT: I checked this guy's profile to see what other items he/she is selling.  Some of them are just plain ridiculous and you can probably get the majority of them at half or a third of the asking price.  If you want to see for yourself, click here!

The Cannon is Loose and Royal Rumble thoughts (PPV)

Hello, once again fellow Gamespotters. It is Darrogamer06 bringing you once again another wrestling-related blog. Why you might say? Well, I have nothing really else to talk about in terms of what games I have been playing etc so I might as well give you an update of some sorts.

I downloaded the Royal Rumble last night and watched all of it and have to say it was pretty good overall with the Last Man Standing match actually surprising me. It wasn't the best Last Man Standing match by any means, but it was a solid effort by John "I Can't Wrestle" Cena and Umaga. Hopefull, Cena will actually improve this year but I highly doubt it. I still think he sucks and will have to do a lot more in order for me to change my mind on him.

The Royal Rumble match was passable to good at best. It was better than last year for sure and really like the last 10 mins or so because it was like a mini-match between Orton, Edge, Taker and Michaels. I predicted Taker would win and glad to see he did, as I wanted him to win over Michaels.

Other matches ranged from ok (Hardyz vs MNM, Batista vs Kennedy) to awful (Test vs Lashley). Seriously, what is the f'ing point with ECW when their matches are not under ECW rules. And the reason is that this is not ECW but WWECW or ECWWE (whatever way you want it, its the same thing). Just dump that brand because no one could care less about it and definitely won't be missed.

In other news, a DVD that I ordered that my brother paid for came today and it is a wrestling DVD. I did say about how I barely watch wrestling nowadays and all that but I like getting these bio-DVDs detailing a wrestler's career and all that with some great extras. The one I got was Brian Pillman: Loose Cannon, which was released last week here in the UK and I heard good things about this DVD and got a good score in a wrestling magazine my brother picks up every month.

I watched the documentary on the DVD and I really enjoyed it now because I didn't know a lot about Brian Pillman except he died on October 5, 1997 (same day as the WWF Bad Blood PPV), teamed up with Austin and became the Hollywood Blondes in WCW and had this infamous Gun incident on RAW in 1996 with Austin. If you like these kind of wrestling DVDs, I recommend you pick this one up. Haven't watched any of the matches but I am sure they will be good nonetheless. I have several of these DVDs and they are mostly enjoyable anyway. Would like to get the McMahon one but rather download the documentary than actually purchase the DVD.

Anyway, that is what I have done. Please leave me more questions for me to answer for this week's blog and will give a big shout-out to all of you who gave me questions after all this time on it. Until then, keep on gaming and ROCK ON!!


Rumbled Out!

Hello once again.  This is Darrogamer06 giving you my thoughts on the Royal Rumble results and not the PPV (didn't watch it).

So the Royal Rumble has come and gone once again and now they are on their way to the Road of Wrestlemania.

Personally, I did not watch the PPV because I couldn't waste 15 quid on it where I only really wanted to see the Rumble match.  I love the Royal Rumble match itself even though last year was pretty crap thanks to the winner who did hardly anything in it and yet is the person who has the longest time in a RR match.  I do not care if Mysterio does have this record because Ric Flair and Benoit lasted over a hour also but yet least they did things in the match.  I liked the last several RR matches before 2006 especially 2004's.  92, 98 and 2004 will be my favourite Rumble matches.

Well I checked out the results of the show and wasn't surprised of course that Cena would retain the title because of the way he always has to be the underdog with something with this stupid fake injury crap (it might be real, I don't know but I doubt it).  Cena cannot wrestle to save his life or cut a promo to save his life and the only good matches he has had are with better competitors (Jericho, Cage, Angle etc).

Why did the Hardyz win? Like Jeff Hardy has practically won most of the matces him and Nitro have had over the past few matches and they beat MNM at December to (Never) Remember and had to win again. 

Again, Batista is going to keep the title until at least Wrestlemania because meatheads is Vince's fetish and rather have untalented crap at the top than talented people. 

I am glad to see Undertaker won the rumble now because Michaels has won it twice already and Taker has never won it therefore it should be someone new instead of the same RR winners.  Also, I checked the time the match lasted and unfortunately, it wasn't a hour so I am a bit disappointed with that because RR matches to me are better when they are over a hour long.  Take a look at 2004 and 1992 to see how great those Rumbles are.

Couldn't have cared less about the ECW Title match because to me that brand is six feet under and then some.

I will download the Rumble match to see how it was but hopefully it is not as bad as last year's. Taker vs Batista is happening whether you like it or not and if Batista beats his streak, then that would be the end of Taker's career then.  If he were to lose at WM (chances are, he will never) it should be Kane for me since he lost to him twice and 3rd time he beats him (a la Rock and Austin).

What other matches will occur? Again, probably won't bother getting WM because I think the card this year will suck and it would be a shame since I have stayed up to watch every Wrestlemania live since 2000. 

If you watched the RR PPV (I am talking to you Denis), tell me how it was especially the RR match itself. 

Also, thank you very much guys for leaving me questions now for me to answer for next time and please leave more questions for me to answer as I would like to answer a good number on next week's blog. 

Until next time, this is Darrogamer06 telling you to keep on gaming and to ROCK ON!!
