I have an idea.

You know what there aren't much around here? Game sites for casuals.

The already outnumber the hardcore gaming community 4 to 1 (if sales of the Wii vs both 360 and PS3 combined can be believed).

Why aren't there more sites appealing to these people? Nintendo took the first step. We should turn them into gamers.

I want to make a new website (more of a blog like Kotaku) for them.

Thoughts?

I bought a new game!!!!

It's a game that is historically very special to me.

It is Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002:

Me and my cousins bought this game when it came out, in 2002, and we loved it. Unfortunetaly, our computer couldn't run it. So we had to settle for the old Flight Simulator 98.

When we got a new computer that could run it, we found out that the disc was damaged (we put it away until we could find a new PC), so we couldn't install it. And by that time, later versions of Flight Simulator were released, so we couldn't buy 2002 again.

So 8 years later, in 2009, I found the game at Toys R Us! It was at a great price ($10), so I got it, and I can now play at full graphics!!!! It looks WAY better than 98.

AWESOME Trivia for System Wars: The Game!

I know everybody who reads this already played System Wars: The Game from beginning to end (if you haven't, play it now). So I wanted to pleasure you with some interesting trivia for the development of System Wars: The Game.

  • The game was originally supposed to be twice as long, 8 chapters instead of 4.
  • They were supposed to include the sheep invading the Cow Colosseum, Jeff Gerstmann having his own chapter, more System Wars battles, and a chapter for old Sega fans (which I merged with the chapter for Lemmings in the final version).
  • The reason I had to cut it was because otherwise the game would be in development for another year.
  • I was originally going to have more items to be a more fuller RPG experience, like weapons and armor. For example, the Sheep would be able to use the Nunchuck, the Lemmings would use a Chainsaw, and the Cows could use Twin Swords.
  • I was going to make all the cutscenes as animated cartoons, but the file size would have been HUGE.
  • I originally wasn't going to use real people from Gamespot to join your team, they would be original characters.It wasn't until I realized how many of those characters were based on real people that I posted a blog here to see who wanted to be in the game. After 64 comments, I narrowed it down to 7 people, and they are now in the game as promised.
  • The game was easy to make, since I knew what I wanted. It was just time consuming.
  • Remember the prophesy stone at the top of the Newbies Building? It originally predicted all the flops that would happen during that generation. Each chapter would start out by a flop. I abandoned that idea because I wanted to tell the story of the hacker.
  • The hacker is based on an actual Gamespot user, called grey_Fox, that made a thread on System Wars asking for a hacker. Look:
And that's about it. I do hope you enjoyed the game. Maybe if enough people play it and want more, I will make a sequel. Maybe.

The Wii is still better. Here's why.

So yesterday we had another party.

It wasn't supposed to be a Wii party, but only 2 hours into it, everybody was bothering me to let them play Wii. So we started playing, and we played all the way to midnight. The party started at two.

We went from Wii Sports to the Sonic and the Secret Ring's multiplayer to Mario Kart Wii then LEGO Star Wars and then finally to Brawl. It's a good thing I bought rechargeable batteries the day before, because we ate those batteries up.

It was great fun. Just that morning I bought World of Goo and quickly forgot it on the awesomeness of Mario Kart and Brawl. This is the reason the Wii is doing so great, and why it's considered the best gaming console ever made by almost everybody that owns it.

Oh well.
