Here Comes The Pain!

Suddenly WWE '12 just jumped up on my list of games that are coming out in November. In case you haven't a clue as to who this monster of a human pictured above is, that is former UFC Heavyweight Champion as well as a former WWE Champion, Brock Lesner. What's so important about this guy? Well hell... in the WWE, he was one of the youngest to ever win the WWE Championship. In the UFC he rose up to win the UFC Heavyweight Championship not long after debuting for the company. From a gamer standpoint, he is in a WWE video game for the first time in a very, very long time!

How in the world can I make use of this monster? At the very least, I'm thinking I know who I'll be crowning as one of my world champions in Universe Mode 2.0 this year. From there? A revisiting of the rivalry between himself and The Rock? Or maybe face off against Stone Cold Steve Austin? Or maybe Mark Henry or Sheamus? Hell, maybe another match against John Cena would be in order as well...

The possibilities are endless... and I can only wonder who else is still hidden that'll round out this year's roster. Rob Van Dam last year was a surprise, but Brock freaking Lesner? In a WWE video game? That is HUGE. I can't wait for November!

Something New, Something Different

Yes, the changes being made to this blog are still going and am I happy with the way things are looking now? Maybe, maybe not. Am I ever really happy about these sorts of things? Simply put, no... I can't say I am ever really satisfied with these things. I am always wanting to change something, just because at that moment I think it'd look good or might add something to the mix.

So now with this dynamic view business in use, I think I am kind of liking the way things are looking right now. But could it use more options for customization? Absolutely.

Regardless, it looks like this might be the look I'll be using for the foreseeable future unless something else pops up on here that changes my mind. It could happen! Though I am a little disappointed that I don't have any of my many useful links cluttering up the face of my blog anymore...

Hour One: RAGE

Trying out a couple of new things here for this writing (using a cut off point, so maybe I won't have any long winded posts clogging up the entire length of my blog) and hopefully this post will be a little more coherent then my usual fare. I've been trying to gather up my thoughts better on singular subjects, though that ended up being much easier said then done. Anyway, onto my thoughts on my first hour in Rage.

So now that I've gotten through my first hour in Rage, I think I have at least a mild idea of what's ahead. Despite what is being said out there, I can't help but feel like I am on Pandora (Borderlands), though I admit the looks of the Wasteland is quite nice though baron as it might be. I've caught myself admiring the scenery a time or two and both times I've snapped back to find a bandit charging right for me. So note to self: Kill first, admire the scenery later.

Brain Could Be Melting

A random post just because I'm at work, on my lunch break and am pretty much just bored out of my mind at this point. What to do?

I have gotten Rage and am about an hour and 30 minutes in so far. I started a little write up about that, but that post is still a work in progress. More on that later today me thinks.

One feeling I cannot shake off while playing Rage is just how familiar everything is, in so many ways like Borderlands. The quests aka jobs I've gotten so far are extremely similar, most fetch jobs or go somewhere and kill all bandits/mutants or whatever might be there.

Beyond the wastelands of Rage, it looks like my end of the year gaming frenzy will include only Skyrim, Saints Row The Third, WWE '12 and maybe Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. A smaller list this year, but hopefully it'll be a good bunch nonetheless.

Others that were on consideration but fell through for various reasons were: Assassin's Creed Revelations, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary and some others that don't quite come to my mind right now.

Edit: This was suppose to have been posted a few hours back, but apparently mobile Blogger and I are having some issues right then. On top of that, it did a terrible job at saving what I had written. I might have to reconsider this blogging on the go deal or at least find a better means then this.
