Join My Agency Outer Heaven

Anybody reading this and who has a PS3 is probably psyched about the new MMO The Agency right? So, whenever the game comes out I need some recruits to join my team when we are allowd to form one in the game. Its gonna be cool. It'll be like Outer Heavenin the PSP vers, of MGS OPs where Big Boss enlists mercenaries to help him. With our team we'll be sneaking in and stealing every other agency's donuts. Hahahaha!

Don't Bother Writing a Review

I'll say it aloud because I feel like it but, since about a year ago, I have no respect for GS reviews. Why? because they're unfair and poor judgements about mechanical aspects of a game. Look on IGN, they devote almost three pages all the time for reviews regardless of how crappy the game is. They don't stick to the 5 or so categories and rely on a overal average in those areas to bring up the score, when in reality those values don't represent how the game quality is at all. A score could be 5.0 in graphics and 7.0 in gameplay and other decent scores in other areas, but the overall score is what the reviewer thinks of the actual game, not a reliance on some half-assed average of separate scores. They care. GS won't even devote a whole page to some games, especially those on platforms outside of Xbox. Why the hell does Forza 2 get two pages, while Motorstorm gets one. Forza 2 does last a while unlike Motorstorm, but are you gonna talk about car customization for an entire page. Oh and environments in Forza 2 suck compared to the beautiful landscapes in Motorstorm. Car detail in Forza 2 is also bland as ever.

So, gonna change? Most likely not!

Am I gonna stop then? Bet your Xbox I'm not.

Get High on Haze

Haze, PS3 exclusive! Not for 360 or PC. 4 Player Co-op=awesomeness! Getting high on Nectar=Fun! The Halo for PS3? Nah, but I can always play Halo 3 on 360.

M$= sex scandals.

Madden for Xbox- Includes 2 hr long porn vid. (Actually happened. Read Game Informer)

Zune for my 10 year old daughter- Includes Gay Fivesome. Running Time: 3 hours.(Also really happened, watch ABC 7)

Halo 2 for PC- Includes strip tease performed by Master Chief and Friends. (Believe it or not, there was a partial nudity glitch in the first batch of Halo 2's for PC. I was expecting to see the Chief's face...not his *ahem*. Look it up on Kotaku)

360 Premium- Complete with HDD filled with porn vids. (I'm telling you, there are some sick people at M$)

Craaaazy party!!

Got back from a friends house at like 11:00 at night. We arrived at like 3:00 and swam, played bump (basketball) for 3 straight hours, played pool, foosball, ping pong, Guitar Hero, and ate Korean Galbi which I brought. I live for days like these.

TOS Viiiiiiooolatioooooon

Well, I have violated GS again. I guess they find that their fellow 360 fans don't need to experience my agonizing flaming of...shoot I have no idea what I wrote, oh well. Wow, I have been demoted too. Guess my last post was bad. Who cares, life goes on and they can suck it.

TOS Violation AGAIN!!!!

Alright I admit the first violation was pretty insulting. But this violation OMFG. What the hell did I do this time. You have been branded for DISRUPTIVE POSTING. What in the world does that mean. All my comments are nothing, but fair or positive feedback since. GS is too uptight about this and it's ticking me off. Geez...slam me for a "close topic", what ever the hell that means.

Xbox 360 Disc Drives Replaced

Remember when all all those 360's came with noisy as he** DVD drives. Well guess what? Hackers have found that all 360's manufactured after Nov 2006 sport a new BenQ VAD 6038 compared to the Samsung/Toshiba Hitachi drive. It's A LOT quieter and even loads FASTER than before. Sorry you early Xbox adopters, but you got ripped, but hey there are other methids of blocking out that noise. Got Earmuffs or a pillow to suffocate that 360?

Game Scoring on GS

Alright this is not post that insults GS in any way or form. its just simply a thought. Anyway, has naybody noticed that the scoring system is really low. I mean a lot of games deserve scores in the 9.0 range but they never really get there. You give a 9 on gameplay 10 on Graphics, Something else and something else, and then two  or one 8 its still is something like 8.8 or 8.9.  i don't know about you but that is really shallow. With the official reviews by GS, do they just input numbers on that same scoring system or is it more customized so special areas of the game standout and boost the score more than other aspects.
Please I need Comments on this desperately cause the thought is killing me!!!!!!!!!

This is not a demand to GS or anything, but I do question their grading methods on all games. Now many games that deserve high scores never get it. Games deserving 9.0 always get a 8.6 or something. Now if I were to put in a 10 for almost everything except for two 8.0 in the categories then the score would be like 8.7 or 8.9. I have never tried it but you get my point. Some areas of gaming are more important than others. I would not say that sound is better than gameplay ever. They are all needed, but putting them on equal levels produces inaccurate results. I believe the reviewer should grade each aspect of the game, but put a final score later on NOT automatically generated by the system. Also do the official review crew from GS use the same scoring system users use where the score is automatic or is it more fine tuned than the one's we use?????

Please give me some feed back because this is killing me!!!!

I Apologize to GS (nobody is reading this probably)

It seem I violated the terms of agreement with GS and now they don't like me. A recent post insulted GS, so got points off for that. Sorry GS, I reread the message and it was indeed insulting. Guess I was too flamed. Won't happen again. Sorry for spamming too.

                                               Sincerely,

                                                 Happy GS member
