Music Madness Pilot

I decided to do a new little feature where I pick 3 video game tunes I adore from the past and present and talk about them and the games they are apart of etc. The pilot episode is a start and hopefully I will be a bit more critque in future episodes but for now, here you are. Enjoy and if you want to post music that I would like, feel free to do so.

Toodles.

Something big is coming!!

If you know me on here or elsewhere, you will get an idea that I buy a lot of games etc. Sometimes, I buy them purely on impulse and sometimes, I get something because I want to get it. Well, I have got something, which is definitely part of the former part. What is it you may ask?

It is this...

SUCKERS!! :P You will have to find out in due time. One person already knows but I told that person to keep it a secret for the time being and I am sure that person will do so no problem.

Let's just say it is going to be an unpackaging of epic proportions. Toodles.

Enter Video Game Soundtracks

Surprise to see me again so soon. I certainly am. Well, I decided to do this short video just to show you guys my latest purchases and my first steps into buying video game soundtracks because well, video game music for the most part is awesome. Some people will recognise the music in the video (I mention it anyway) instantly, as its from one of the soundtracks I got. Anyway, I hope to pick some more up in the future and also would like your suggestions as to what soundtracks I should get. Eternal Sonata/Trusty Bell is one I am gunning for and Chrono Trigger also especially if there is some sort of orchestra version since the free CD I got with the game just showed me how awesome that CD would be.

Anyway, enjoy and keep on gaming good people. Toodles.

Darro's Pickups 29/6/09

First of all, your eyes are not deceiving you. I did in fact make a video under 10 mins for the first time in a LOOONNNNNGGGGGG time. Not much to say about it anyway apart from I totally love playing Tales of Vesperia (11 or 12 hours thus far) mainly because its characters to me are likable and like to know what happens next. It doesn't have a fantastic story by any means but its one where you want to know what occurs next nonetheless.

So sit back and enjoy as usual.

E3 Thoughts

Hello once again, fellow gamers. I have been updating more frequently that I have done over the past 6 months, which is a bit of a surprise in itself after all. This time round, I give to you my thoughts on E3 09 (mainly the press conferences) and tell you some of the games I am looking forward to getting after this year's event (forgot some but you always do). Anyway, enjoy the videos and keep on gaming!

Click here for the first part and check the channel for the other part. :)

E3 Predictions

Since E3 is right around the corner, I decided to give you guys my thoughts and predictions on the upcoming show. I could have done a better job perhaps but I didn't want to end up doing 50 million takes. I forgot to mention Brutal Legend in the last part since that is a game I am looking forward to seeing more of and I know there are other games that are there that I forgot also but can't wait to see nonetheless. Hope you guys enjoy and feel free to post your thoughts and predictions on E3 by text or by a video response.

Click here for part 1 and check out my channel for the rest. :)

Collections, Pickups and Backlogs!

Hello to anyone out there that still cares about me here (not being grouchy, its the truth after all). I haven't posted on here for nearly a month now due to the fact that I just couldn't be bothered. I have been posting elsewhere but thats neither here nor there.

So what I have done in terms of videos and the like over the past month. Well if you want to find out, click on my YT channel right here. In it you will find 3 videos I did yesterday consisting of a 2 part pickups video where I show my latest purchases and a video response to Stephanie's (you may remember her as princesszelda here) backlog video. I also have done 3 collections, which were of the Nintendo DS, Playstation 2 and Xbox 360 so if you have like over an hour to spare then feel free to watch them and let me know what you guys think.

Anyway that will do for now. I will try to post on here more often but its not really worth it if you don't get people to comment.

Toodles.

One Year Older..

Today, I am officially 24 years of age and it feels good I guess. No one really likes to get older but its just a way of life. One of the good things though about this birthday is I ain't working on it, as opposed to last year where I was and it pretty much stank because of it. You might be wondering what I got for my birhtday. Well check the videos on the blog before and you will know since they are pretty much what I got since I just wanted money to get various games that caught my eye during my trip into town on Monday. Also, got two t-shirts that you can find right here & here from my mother (would like show pictures of me wearing them but the computer ain't processing the pictures that I am taken for some reason. I wanted them for a while since they are pretty awesome looking shirts in my honest opinion and well, I have got back into WWE again so why not.

Got a game called Rhythm Paradise ala Rhythm Heaven in the post today and man that game is tricky. Its quite hard to get the timing down in some of the mini-games I have played thus far but I am sure with a little bit of practice, I will get better at it. Banjo-Tooie came out on XBLA and got it and will actually try and complete that game since I never did on the N64 (got to the 6th world before I stopped playing it).

As far as what videos are coming up from myself, well I am going to go the Talor route and start doing collection videos since I am pretty much near the 500 game mark after the barrage of games I got in the past week. Some of them are of course XBLA, Wiiware and Virtual Console games but the majority of them aren't (Well, duh). Will be doing gameplay videos again and anything else that comes to my mind.

I am having a relaxing birthday this year, which is nice to have and I have another 3 days off work before I go back on Sunday then have another 3 days off. Anyway, take care guys and keep on gaming!

To Youtube I will go!

I have come to the conclusion that there is no point in me doing videos primarily for GB and GS anymore mainly because they are always the same and have got too boring by a lot of people's standards hence why not a lot of you out there still watch them, which I do appreciate. After watching a guy by the name of Pete Dorr's (check him out) videos over in Youtube last night for 2 hours and others including my old GS friend, Stephanie (princesszelda), I have decided that it is the best place to do videos now and come across great people who enjoy gaming as much as I do. I have a channel already, which has several gameplay vids up and responses to GB Qotw stuff but over the next month or so, I am hoping to make it full of videos like impressions, collections and pick up vids like the majority of gaming users do on YT.

Also, with the exception of Denis, Eric, Talor and Michael, no one else I know tends to do video blogs on a consistent basis anymore and its quite a shame since it was the reason I became good friends with some of them. I have been introduced to new ones like JonnyAvacado, Shred and others over the past 6 months and appreciate that I'm being introduced to more great people elsewhere now.

So if you want to continue watching my face rambling on about games, then Youtube will be the place to go (but I will embed the vids here like Talor does). The first video will be coming up tomorrow with my recent pickups and there is a few thanks to said user I mentioned above.
