I'm am officially hooked on Fallout 3 now. Nothing precisely got me hooked, probably just the fact that I am finally leveling up a character that doesn't seem to be broken. Because I'm having no problems in choosing skills and perks anymore like my other characters.


I didn't know I would be spending this much time exploring and not getting bored!

There have been a lot of people on the interwebz saying that the RPG layout for Oblivion works so much better in Fallout 3, but I have to disagree. By this time, I was hooked to Oblivion, but right now, I'm kinda getting....ooo, I really don't want to say tired, but I have to. I'm desperately looking through the wasteland looking for something to do, somewhere to go. But I think that...I never thought I'd say this...Fallout 3 is TOO big. There's so much nothing and too little everything. There are only two real cities, and all the small settlements have one quest attached to them and then they do nothing. The Vaults at first are super interesting, but then you just start to notice that all it's showing you is more bloodshed, and very minimal story. The mainstory has a lot of interesting parts to it, but the fact that you can't continue after you beat the mainstory.

And the fact that there is a level-cap makes it so you can't be an all-powerful badass, and by the time you reach level 8, your pretty much setting a straight path for yourself. And besides, it's so hard to find quests that you might have no use for a level 20 character anyway. And even if you do manage to reach level 20 for you PS3 owners out there, you've got very little to do, and you get no DLC whatsoever. I know how you guys feel now, sorry for all the bragging, PS3 owners.

I think it would've worked much better if it was like Oblivion, where you were allowed to fast-travel to the cities at the beginning so you could have a lot of other things to do instead of the main quest, or just either really short miniquests(repairing the pipes, I'm looking at you), or wayy tooo long quest lines(Wasteland Survival Guide). There are a lot of good quests out there(Big Trouble in Bigtown, Blood Ties, the Beggining parts of Wasteland Survival Guide, and a few more), but you HAVE to look pretty hard. And if your good or evil, if you are just one or the other, the quest lines that could be really long could be really tiny, for example: You have to find somebody and bring him back somewhere, but the fact that your a good guy makes you just bring back some fake evidence that he's dead and the quest ends. He is alive, and you know it very well, but you don't want to enslave him. And I'm not even going to talk about Paradise Falls.....

I also miss the houses in Oblivion. I know there are houses in Fallout 3, but there are only two, you either disarm or detonate Megaton to get each one, and the furniture is only slightly interesting...I like the theme idea though, I haven't got enough money to buy one yet...:P

And the fact that this game made me realize that I'm not as good at FPS's as I thought I was without even a little bit of auto-aim.

I dunno, maybe I'm just playing it wrong. I never used repair, and I learned how great that is only recently. I'm only starting to make weapons. OH! That also reminds me. I wish this game promoted melee weapons more. Those are awesome! Seriously, the Shishkabob is super-awesome, and before I got that, I though using a Chinese Officer's sword was cool. The problem is, I don't have any skill points to spare for melee weapons...maybe I am playing it wrong.....

If you read all of this, thanks! :)

Note: Just before I explain, I just want to explain the post the other day. I just got a little hyped up because I heard they were doing some interesting things. Such as showing an "Actual 12 Year Old Girl"'s Level made by Boku, Microsoft's Free Littlebigplanet. Except you make games, not levels.

Anyway, to the topic.


This is my basic layout of 2009. It's kinda clear that 2009 isn't going to be a 2008 or 2007, where the biggest and awesome-est of games came out all at once. No, it's going to be a couple of big games, and the rest is mostly shovel ware.

My plan is to rent every single game I WASN'T able to play that came out the past two years that I really wanted to play. And this is my current list of things I want to rent (R) or buy (B).


Left 4 Dead(B)
Mirror's Edge(R)
Saints Row 2(R/B)
Call of Duty 5(R)
Orange Box for PC(B!)

and some other games I'll list sometime over the coming weeks. I can't WAIT until summer!

P.S. I needed a lot of courage to post this, and I probably might remove it soon. I just wanted to test my scanner out.

There's some awesome crap I wish I had the time to post to show!

I really would like to go into this thing called "PC Gaming". I heard it's a very interesting community. Less kids, more innovating things, although not really innovative, just new. Steam seems like the best place ever! They are selling all the games I ever wanted but never had this thing called "Money" for! Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People, Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress 2, Audiosurf, Fallout 3, Warhammer Online (I'm serious), Mass Effect!!!

And then there are Mods! Mods were the things that almost made me buy Oblivion AGAIN for the PC. Something I wish I could have used.

I played Fallout 3 on the PC, without mods, but with the console(it's pretty much a thing that Bethesda has put in the PC versions of Oblivion, Morrowind, and Fallout 3, where you could kinda type in "codes", even though you were actually changing the coding of some of the game, not major. Check GameFAQS to see how easy these codes are to enter), and editing things in the game that you couldn't do in the console versions of the game were AWESOME! And I played Oblivion with some mods(including a mod where my friend looked exactly like Cloud from FF7, and had Cloud's sword), and although it didn't change the gameplay, it made the game SOOO much more interesting.

There is also this thing in a lot of PC games I've played(usually first person games), called "noclip" or "noclipping", which pretty much let you float. I had BioShock and they had a noclipping feature, and it completely expanded my thought of the game, and I'm not saying that in the "Braid is DEEP" sort of way, but more like "I HAD FUN" sort of thing.

In an also somewhat related tangent, I'm also getting a lot of movies and music for my PC. My PC has finally sort of become a little part of my life, instead of just plugging in my iPod to sync some songs, and then turning it off. My PC has finally become a platform. I have been using my PC for a lot of things now, INCLUDING watching movies, FINALLY getting more than 100 songs in my library, and getting some really awesome pictures onto my computer.

Computer gurus, you must think I'm a noob and you don't want me part of your circle. I know I'm one of those little kids that you don't want to meet online because he's is a fu(*&(*^ pain in the @$$ and is one of the sole reasons you don't play on consoles.

But I want to be part of your group. So live with it.


P.S. This post was supposed to go up some much earlier and I was supposed to get a much better sleep. But instead, I stay up for an hour trying to get the internet to work so I could post this, because I needed to find someway to thank you whoever is clicking my ads a LOT. See? Money inspires me. I'm THAT egotistical prick.

Thanks to whoever is clicking on the ads, and thank you for supporting my site!

i dont have much time, but i have recently found another educated super mutant who has given me a huge amount of information. nothing revealing or extraordinary, but just a few leads, but very interesting leads. ill talk more about them after i find the G.E.C.K.

wow. what a surprise. forget all the other ones i've told you, this one is crazy. i have to find a way to enter vault 87, but the entrance is so irradiated, you'll die in about 10 seconds. so i had to go into a cavern called Little Lamplight. it seemed like a normal cavern, except that I could hear galaxy news radio blasting a loud echo throughout the cave. it didn't take me a whole while to find out where it was coming from, as i saw a metal gate blocking my way. now this is where it got weird. i saw the patrol going up to the top of the gate to greet me, as usual with most gated cities, but freaked me out was when i heard the guards voice, it sounded like a little kid. i got a closer look and i saw that it was a kid! a kid in his pre-teenage years , but boy, if i could slap the little punk's face if i didn't know that he was my only way into Vault 87. they made a whole f****** city down here! a bunch of kids! im quite impressed but every single kid down here is an @$$hole. they call adults "mungos", and they kick anyone whos over the age of 18 out. i was lucky enough to pursuade the kid to open the gate for me, thank god.

i recently came to a raider camp at evergreen mills while heading to vault 112 to find my dad. i saw a couple of slaves and i figured, hell, i should rescue them. this was probably the largest camp i have found yet. what stood in the middle of the camp scared the f*** out of me though. there was a super mutant behemoth! i have only seen two, but these things are huge hulks, and they are a forced to be reckoned with. luckily, it was trapped in a electrified cage, but i saw the generator sitting right next to it. so after i cleaned up the whole camp of raiders and freed he slaves(and got a nice shotgun), i decided to take on the beast. i planted at least 8 mines, took out my new shotgun(which packs one hell of a punch), and shot the generator. i was so damn close to dying in the battle, but i was able to take it down with a few dozen shotgun rounds to the head. time to pack up and head to vault 112!

so i was out heading for a place called Minefield, this woman is having me do some awkward chores to help her out with her "wasteland survival book". i came across a strange sight, a super mutant fighting two other super mutants. i did not find it strange at the time, but when i got closer to the fight, i noticed the my pip-boy was not displaying the first super mutant as deadly. so after the fight ended, i decided to make contact with the super mutant. i was amazed! it was a friendly super mutant! he told me his name was Uncle Leo, and when i tried to ask him where he got his name, he was unsure; telling me that his name might have come from a book he read. fascinating! he has also confirmed some reports i heard, about super mutants taking other people to a secluded location, but what surprised me the most is that apparently all the captives they take are turned into SUPER MUTANTS! i have to remember this.

I have been recently been playing a little bit of Grand Theft Auto IV just because my friend got me into playing again. It actually hit me as a pretty interesting game after I started a new save file, but it seemed that the only thing that was keeping me interested was either getting new trophies or getting new weapons. It actually feels like a very rewarding experience after you get new items or features, which I never noticed or experienced before because I used cheat codes a lot after the game started to piss me off. I'm actually attempting to complete the whole game, but I know that is going to be a boring-as-hell experience.

I also have been playing a little bit of Mass Effect, working on trying to get the Extreme Power Gamer achievement(getting to level 60), and ALSO trying to complete most of the side quests and all the extra stuff(which would also lead to me getting the completionist achievement and one of the Ally achievements(playing most of the game with a certain teammate)).

That's pretty much it! Goo bye!

XBLA in Brief Spoof: Small Arms from Kaillif on Vimeo.

I really want to f****** get Fallout 3 now. The first 30 minutes of the game has hyped me up to the point that the second I get $60, I am walking at least 2 miles to the nearest Circuit City and picking it up. I have to say a few things though:

The character models aren't good, but they aren't AS BAD as Oblivion.
People were right, you do get desperate in the game, sometimes, especially when you have no med-packs or bullets, you really want to avoid almost every enemy.
VATS is...thank, god...NOT the perfect kill-everything button, which I like.
The GOAT didn't fulfill my life's dream of becoming a marriage counselor.

That's all I have to say for now. I recently picked up a used Mass Effect and continuing my old character to get a few more achievements. Bye!

Sorry I wasn't here to celebrate my blog's first anniversary/birthday on December 20th of last year when I finally decided to start this shindig. Now it's time to set some goals for next year:

1.At LEAST a hundred posts before my baby's second birthday.
2.Don't burn out.

I combined two things that will probably never work out with each other, but are going to have to work out. I'll start right about...now.

I just bought two new video games, Call of Duty 5 World at War and Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2009. One you probably have heard of and one you probobly havent. but its strange that I think that these two games are about equal. for starters, and dont lie to yourselves, if youve played World at War you know by now that its a little overrated. Its a good game and all, i just dont think that its worhty of all the hype its getting just because of the franchise. In almost every regard Treyarch just tore off Infinity Ward's work and glued it to a sheet of paper headed WORLD WAR 2.....AGAIN. I love ww2 and all, actually i love any sentence with WAR in it, unless its preceded by the word NO. But i was foolishly expecting a future Call of Duty... or at the very least an American revolution or Vietnam game. I mean come on! there's sooo many wars (YEAH!) and they go back to the same Bonzai's and Heil Hitler's. Seriously....its not that i dont like Hitler or Mussolini or Hideki Tojo or Good Ole Joe.... But really.... what about Robert E. Lee or King George III as an enemy?

It’s the same question I’m asking myself. I can watch 90+ episodes of Naruto in a week then finally burnout, but I can’t watch a little more then 25 episodes of Code Lyoko in about a month and THEN BURNOUT?!?!

It’s probably because my temporary internet provider is probably one of the slowest piece of $|-|1Ts I have EVER used. When I was watching all my Naruto episodes, I only had to wait about a minute for the video to buffer enough so I didn’t have to stop in the middle of the episode. Currently, it takes about 10 minutes for the video to buffer so I can get at least 1/3 through the episode without stopping. I despise you temporary dial-up.

Everything in my house should be up, ready, and clean by next week. So either expect meaningful updates or never seeing me again now that my video games are back.

Remember the first posts on VGNO close to a year ago? Well, in one of those posts, I posted Armake21's review of Halo 3. I wanted to go back and see his videos again, and I found out his profile was deleted, so I spent about 20 minutes trying to find his new videos(because EVERYONE does that), and I found out that many people(including me)compare Armake21 to AVGN, which I think is really cool, because he doesn't seem to get paid or doesn't seem to be a very large celebrity either, even though his reviews are just as great. I also learned while looking through all the praise of Armake21, I found out about a jack@$$ named Irate Gamer who seems to be an attention wh0r3 that spams both Armake and AVGN and calls them $h17. I watched his videos for a few minutes, and I think they are terrible rip-offs. I don't hate Irate because his videos are bad(because I really can't find a reason to call them bad, seriously.), I just hate him because they are basically ripoffs of Armake and AVGN and thinks that his videos are better. Anyway, I found his new profile and started to watch a series I used to love by him, Games That Suck. The title is true to the videos, as he reviews terrible games in a very comedic way. I think that this was the first video I saw by him, and it's still one of my favorites.

To see his new profile and his amazing videos, click here. WARNING: Not suitable for children or people easily offended by swearing.

Thanks to a recent RedRant podcast I listened to a few days ago, I found a nice video podcast/show that is pretty funny and has some good humor. It is called Awesome Video Games, and it’s about some kids that are played by 20-something year olds that are in the 8-bit era and a dad(also played by a 20-something year old with a fake mustache) which is really funny. What is also really cool is the camera work, as the camera zooms in and barrel-rolls around their faces in a really cool way(since the cameraman knows the script). It starts out chuckle-funny, but as you watch through the series, you will be LOL'ing at their hilarious stupidity and their pretty cool editing skills later on in the series. Check out the first episode up there ^^^.

Ok, if you ever have been on the homepage on DeviantArt.com, you probably have already seen a few of Bleedman’s pics but have never noticed it. Bleedman draws a lot of fan pics, and just as much original drawings, too. From what I have seen from his pictures, is that he takes a lot of cartoon shows and draws them in a style that makes it look like something like a professional manga, but still keeps the appearance of the original characters. He takes characters like Dexter (from Dexter’s Laboratory) and The Powerpuff Girls(from Self-Explanitory), and even the characters from the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy and not only makes them LOOK like a professional manga, but also makes a story that SOUNDS like a cartoon manga. He makes stories out of crossovers(if I tried to detail one of the stories, there would be about 20 crossovers and about 5 original concepts) and combines them with an extraordinary art style.

And today I will end, with an epic video.

Angry Video Game Nerd, versus Nostalgia Critic.

Yay! Time for a progress report in Code Lyoko.

Skipped Episode 24 straight to 25 because I kind of got tired of the filter but the concept of episode 25 sounds pretty cool and I wanted to know how they would solve that. After watching about the first 15 episodes I REALLY wanted to watch Code: Earth where the series actually takes a dive for an actual plotline. I really have nothing else to say about the show but I think I will have more to talk about when there is I get to the actual plotline(like how many people talk about the downfall of Heroes).


Sorry it’s so short, but as you might notice in a while, both of my websites will be getting updates. This will go on until the first of December, when I choose…something. I’m actually thinking about how I could keep both websites alive. As you also might see in this game, the focus of this website is changing, Instead of being a complete video game blog, this is more focused on internet culture that normal people with normal live(who think the internet destroys societies). You will be seeing a lot of other features on this website that aren’t really video game related. And who knows? This probably might only last until I start playing video games again, which I am expecting to be somewhere in early November. Anyway, enjoy the new features when you can. They might only last a while.
