There’s a new podcast i’m excited to talka bout called Ready Up Radio. This podcast features some respectable deathmatch player names like; apheleon, lsv and nineX. The first two podcasts featured discussions about Duke Nukem Forever, Quakelive, apheleon’s unemployement (get this guy a job!) and more. My favorite discussion was in the second episode about how Quakelive should think about a LAN client for other’s to host Quakelive LAN tournaments.

Think Like a Professional Street Fighter 4 Player
Since I picked up my copy of Street Fighter 4 for xbox 360 on Tuesday I have done quiet a bit of research on playing Street Fighter a highly competitive level and here are some resources I have found be be very informative. Though some of these may be Street Fighter 2 tutorials, the strategies still very much apply to Street Fighter 4… Read More
Street Fighter 4: First Thoughts
After a long day at work I drove over to my local gamestop and got a copy of Street Fighter 4, the latest and one of the most anticipated Street Fighter games of the series. I put in a good two hours lastnight and here are my initial reactions.
First off the whole feeling of the game screams arcade. From the way the menu feels to the online play. The coolest feature is to allow other players to challenge you while you’re playing single player arcade mode. This is like when you are at an arcade and another player walks up while you’re playing and puts in a quarter. This really adds to the whole arcade feel.
I haven’t had this great of an arcade experience from home since the golden area of the dreamcast. I highly recommend this game to anyone who has been a fan of the series or anyone interested in competitive fighting games in general.
I Got an XBOX 360… Here’s what I Think
So I finally gave in and got myself an xbox 360. Coming from a PC gaming background it’s hard to except the fact that console gaming is taking over. After playing; Bad Company, Halo 3 and Unreal Tournament 3 on Xbox Live it is clear that PC still has the advantage when it comes to FPS control. First Person Shooters require quick reaction times and a steady hand but with a controller it requires a steady thumb, which I find to be much more difficult.
Overall my experience so far has been good and I look forward to playing more games.
What I’ve got so far…
- Skate
- BF: Bad Company
- Halo 3
- Unreal Tournament 3
- The Orange Box
- NBA 2k8
See you on xbox live!
Pro Gaming - What Happens Next?
Lastnight I was reading about what’s going on in the Pro Gaming industry and most of the news I found was bad news. Yes there are a few gamers making a living from pro-gaming while others are barely getting buy and being ripped off by team managers and sponsors. There are so many leagues now that it’s nearly impossible to keep up with them all, and each of them are claiming to be the best.
