Mince Craft: The Noob's Journey

Konnichiwa everyone! I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving break, but now it's time for school and work again (but not for long, 3 more weeks until winter break!). Your PurpleNinja has come to report to you, that after trying to find a way to play Minecraft for so long, thanks to SkyeBlue, I can now play it! And after playing for like, a day and a half, I feel pretty noobish. Like, the purpose of the game (at least what I know from it) is to mine for certain things (like coal and iron, steel, and other stuff like that) and create new items from it. I heard from Hardstyle21 that there is a boss battle with a dragon, but I don't know. I just want to mine in a cave without dying in lava.

So far, I built myself a house (still needs work to it)  and crafted basic materials for mining, like a pickaxe and shovels and whatnot. I've kept it on peaceful mode until I'm done with my house and crafting other basic necessities. The last thing I need is to be down in a deep (and I mean deep) dark cave being attacked by spiders or getting my house blown up by a creeper. I'm still trying to regain all the stuff I lost after burning in a pit of lava. (And I had so much coal too!!!) But all in all, it's a pretty fun, addicting and time consuming game. Seriously, I started playing at like 9 or 10 pm and I ended up playing until 1 am last night trying to fix up my house and make me a bed for it. Talk about being memorized by a flashing screen of wonders.

Buy Minecraft for $26.95 here or play it for free in-browser here. (Or you can be illegal and try to download a cracked version on the web somewhere. It's out there, I know it...)

And just a few tips before I go

1. Make a house from an existing hill: So much easier than building from scratch. If you dig deep enough too, you can stumble (or fall into) a cave for mining!

2. Carry extra supplies: You never know when you're gonna run out of something until you do and get stuck.

 3. Creepers explode: Don't get to close to them, they do blow up houses, and you!

4. Don't hit dogs: Hitting other animals is ok, but dogs fight back. Plus, they roam in packs, so if you hurt one, they ALL come after you. Not the best way to start off.

5. Have fun: Not a very hard tip to follow if I do say so myself.

Last but not least, make sure you're not playing it for too long. You get sucked in, and you just may not come out. EVER.

Sayonara!

Mega Man Legends 3 Cancelled?!

A picture of Rockman/Megaman

Many fans are disappointed because Mega Man Legends 3 project for the 3DS was cancelled, and the prototype was never released either. I noticed this when my younger brother was watching reaction videos to the cancellation, and they didn't sound pleasant. Capcom also says that there currently are no plans of restarting the project in the future. On top of that, the company also says, "Additionally, updates of the Mega Man Legends Developer Room will cease as of today, though the North American Developer Room and its forums will remain open indefinitely." This is very unfortunate, and this news have fans question what's going to happen next, since another Megaman title was cancelled earlier in the year: Megaman Universe. Capcom answered this question in a Q&A: " This is the second Mega Man game cancelled this year, what does this mean for the future of the Mega Man Franchise? "And they answered with "Mega Man is still an important franchise within Capcom’s portfolio and we will continue to pursue opportunities to create new titles in the series." So they are not just giving up the whole Megaman franchise, because it's so important to them. This would definitely set the fans at ease. See you next time for a new post. Peace!

Syndicate daily minecraft project (:

So here's the #1 subscribed Youtube UK solo gaming commentator and he just happens to post daily Minecraft videos called "The Minecraft Project"  he's very popular in the UK and the U.S. he's is very funny and cares  about his fans unlike other random people. He lets people download his world and then live streams some episodes so fans could comment and give him ideas he ask for the audiences' help and admits to his mistakes he sometimes does two Minecraft videos a day to keep his fans involved and interested and often hides annotations in his videos kind of as an insider joke. He often says that he loves playing Minecraft in one episode he mentions hat he kind if wants to be an architect and Minecraft lets him create his own world. He is the one who inspired myself to start playing Minecraft. He does get payed to play the newest games on Playstation 3, PC, and X-Box 360. Here's his youtube channel. I subscribe to him and look forward to his funny videos everyday as soon as I get home from school he often gives me ideas and although his world is great I've started my own world in a mock of his but his is far better than mine but still I try. Besides his daily Minecraft Project he also works on another minecraft project he calls "SyndiKate Adventures in Minecraft" where its him and a girl named kate working together in their own private server which is also quite funny.I suggest watching him if your a fan of Minecraft.-Hardtyleforlife21

Diamond Hollow II

title

gameplay

Diamond Hollow II was made with Flixel a cool new progamming thing made by Adam Atomic, one of the guys I interviewed. You are basically a guy lost in a cave when a gun dropped by the evil professor aids you in escaping and he helps you along the way. The gun was thrown down by the professor because it didn't want to kill a human. You journey with this gun while getting upgrades and new types like rebound shot, missile, 3 shot, and original machine gun. Through the levels you collect diamonds and battle slimes, birds, robots. Once you reach the end of a level, through which checkpoints are available, you fight the boss, which is normally a slime/monster but stronger and with other enemies that can't die. You keep going till you get to the last level. WARNING SPOILER ALERT: You fight the evil professor and once you finish he steals the gun from you and tries to reprogram it and kill you but, the gun doesn't want to kill a human so he uses an escape elevator and you leave. At the end it shows you and the gun says from within the cave, NO I DON:T WANT TO HURT HUMANS, then you desplay a frown emoticon and the game ends.
There are also other games in this game. There is one called Boss Rush that is basically all the bosses one after the other, while you keep all the equipment before stolen by the professor. To unlock this you have to beat the game. Once you start you have choice of Normal, and Heroic (gotten by beating normal). The bosses are stronger and more defensive in this game so watch out. Another game is Escape where you keep going up while fighting the slimes and lava slowly fills below you. You need diamonds to unlock certain checkpoints. Extremely hard, like the reverse of falldown except that you have to kill things in your way. The last two games are mini games. The mini games are Runner Mode and Tadpole Mode. To get these you have to get 15 gems and then 25 gems respectively. In runner mode you go forward without your control and you have to jump and shoot while dodging the holes that you can fall into and grabbing the gems to buy upgrades for your self. In Tadpole Mode you are a blue tadpole going against orange and red ones while collecting gems. this is really like copter, one click defies gravity. Took about ~3-4 hours to get all mentioned here also with a bunch of upgrades. If you have time to play do so, but only do story as it can be completed unlike the other never-ending games. The Link is Here> ?????? though I doubt you will be able to play it at school as AISD likes to be a dementor and suck the fun out of everything (YEAH METAPHOR). That is it I guess. Here is someone playing the TADPOLE game so you can get the gist of it> ??????

Review: Zombieville USA 2

Updated: Nov 12, 2011

Version: 1.2

Size: 53.8 MB

Language: English

Seller: Mika Mobile, Inc.

Zombieville USA was an early game available for the iPhone. You controlled an unnamed protagonist as he ran down the longest street in existence, using a vast array of weapons and looting houses for cash and ammunition, all while avoiding getting his brains eaten by the undead. It was a simple but fun game that was let down by a lack of variety. Levels got repetitive quickly and while money let you upgrade your weapons, once you had them all upgraded there was very little left to do. Still it was a good game and with it's simple cartoon graphics it proved to be quite popular.

So when the sequel to Zombieville USA came out, we all jumped at the opportunity to give it a try. So what’s changed?

The original was an iPhone classic.

Well for a start there's now a Y axis. No longer are you limited to moving just from left to right, you're given a greater field to play in. This makes the game look a 2d side scroller sort of like Streets of Rage, only with more undead. While this makes the game play more difficult it lends to more variety and provides the option to run away from the undead which was lacking in the original. You'll still find yourself caught between undead hordes but now you only have yourself to blame.

Much like the original everything looks like it has been lifted from a flash cartoon, it's simplistic but well done and seems to make the game more charming. There's a couple of changes over the original however to keep things interesting. For example there's now a number of protagonists to choose from each with their own funny back story though they all share the same abilities. The zombies have been given a massive overhaul as well, with each one getting a new and distinct graphic rather than just a simple palette swap. It makes it easier to recognise the types of undead you're up against and come up with tactics to counter them. Not to make things too repetitive Mika have also thrown in some extra zombie types such as the exploding zombie and the acid spitting undead. It keeps you on your toes and looks very nice but be warned, there is a fair amount of gore as some of the more brutal weapons take large chunks out of the shambling undead. This game is definitely not for the squeamish.

The bigger field of play makes things a bit hectic!

As you're allowed to select which level you play there's more backdrops to the game as well. No longer just a street view they've also added a town and shopping mall setting which keeps things from getting repetitive.

It's worth mentioning that the music for the game is also quite impressive. While there's not a great deal of variety it does make the zombie killings sprees more enjoyable. We were particularly fond of the shopping mall sound track. Combining a nice sounding guitar and elevator music sounds surreal but really gets you in the mood for shenanigans with a shotgun.

Game play has been spiced up too, money not only buys you weapons but can be used to upgrade them. There's also perks and special abilities that make life easier in game, like the weapons they can be upgraded too but again it proves to be quite costly. One tip. Invest in the “Daddy Warbucks” perk as soon as possible as this increases the money gained from the cash dropped by the undead or the objects you destroy during the game.

Our hero is back! Now with added mullet!

One nice addition that was lacking in the original is the use of multi player. You can now join a friend and take on the undead hordes together. While this does lead to some competitiveness as you start fighting over the items dropped or who gets to kill the zombies it makes the game last a bit longer and provides some funny moments.

Overall there's not a great deal to say about Zombieville USA 2. It's just an improvement over what was originally a very solid game. It's a shame that there’s no storyline to speak of but for a quick bit of mindless fun its ideal. If you don't have it already make sure to grab it today.  

Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Hey everyone! SkyeBlue here with some really epic news! I'm pretty sure you've seen this on Tv before, but I'd like to share that the new Zelda game, Skyward Sword, is coming out on November 20, 2011. From what I gathered from the Zelda wiki, the game takes place before the events in Ocarina of Time, and Ganondorf (or as I like to call him, GanonDORK!) will not be in this game, but they will possibly mention his appearance in Ocarina of Time. The gameplay consists of using the Wii Motion Plus for swordplay, similar to Twilight Princess. However, other items can be used with the Wii Motion Plus also, like bombs, slingshot, a whip, and others. In addition to the gameplay, Link is right-handed in this game as well to make it easier for the players. Now the music is what I'm looking forward to the most. The Zelda wiki says that the music is orchestrated (much like the music from Super Mario Galaxy). So I'll say I'm really looking forward to this game, and I hope I get this for christmas. C=
