This was not intended to be my first blog post, but Ghost’s Porn post inspired me to share my feelings on the subject of Porn. Nerds and porn go hand in hand. I have friends who have HD after HD of porn. Every year a group of online buddies of mine have social gathering. We all haul our computers halfway across the world to meet in person to have meat, beer, and to get our game on. This usually lasts about a week. About half that week is spent trading porn. They organize it according to type, style, and what general mood they are in for the night. Most of these guys are in relationships or have wives. This is what baffles me.
If your in a relationship, no, scratch that, even if you are not in a relationship and over the age of 21, what the hell do you need porn for? Once you have felt the touch of a woman, you want to go back to your hand? I can understand porn when you are a young teenager, and finding a nice warm, tight space to park your penis is few and far between. At the age of 21 you should be socially mature enough to get as much ass as you want. When your married, there should be no excuse for porn. If I am feeling in the mood, all I have to do is look toward my bed to see that I have as much willing naked nookie as I can handle.
Maybe I just do not undestand the obsession to collect porn. Why does one want to stay at home and look at women having sex with each other, men, donkies, and whatever else they can stuff in themselves, when you have a vast sea of willing naked nookie right outside your front door?
It is a rough first post, I know. I promise they will improve as I write more. I am a speaker, not a writer.
Some very creative (?) people have put their talents to good (?) use by manipulating facial features for their Mii avatars to resemble pornographic imagery. The gallery can be found here, but proceed with caution… The image posted above is possibly the safest of all to display if at work or have young ‘uns running around.
The site encourages you to send in your own creations, if the mood should strike you.
Just a quick note, I’ve added a contact page, for anyone who’d like to send me an email. Also, I updated the “About This Site” page to include some staff info, since I’m hoping to have more than just myself contribute to this site.
Obviously, some of the following links may be NSFW.
Game Daily posted a photo gallery featuring porn stars commenting on video games. Some had witty comments, whether they play games themselves or not. A common question asked was whether the girls mind if their boyfriends play games or not. Some said that they don’t, others told the truth.
One notable mention is the post for Jenna Haze–probably the only name I recognized–who claims that she’s a big nerd herself. I can easily believe that she’s into vampires, werewolves, and the like…but I’m not buying the gamer nerd act so much. Then again, she’s a self-confessed stoner with a steady boyfriend. Regular gaming might in fact be in her life.
If you want to talk true game nerd porn stars, you can’t ignore Asia Carrera. This porn retiree was/is big into the first-person shooter community. Especially Unreal Tournament. She even made her own custom skins, which only beefs up her gamer cred’. Sorry to say, geeklings, this one’s married.
Hungry for the new Ace Attorney game? I know I am! Capcom released a flash-based demo for the game, much like the one released in Japan months ago before their debut of the title. I haven’t tested it myself yet, but I’m just about to. I wanted to post it here to share with others first. Whether you’ve been a fan from day-one or if you’ve never tried any of the games before, I hope this is a treat…
One video that’s been shared for a while now is getting it’s turn here. If there’s one community bountiful with wasted time and creativity, it’s the MUGEN crowd. MUGEN is a do-it-yourself fighting game software that allows you to create your own custom fighting game. Your own characters. Your own moves. Done your way. The possibilities are endless. You can form any dream match that you can imagine, intellectual property laws be damned.
One such dream match that I find link-worthy is one of Peter Griffin (of TV’s The Family Guy) vs. Street Fighter’s Sakura. Sakura is more or less as she’s always been seen in previous games. But Peter’s character was done with a great deal of effort. The voice clips and sound effects match perfectly, save for his normal fireball fart. The only other issue appears to be the painful lag just before Peter’s vomit hyper-combo. It also looks like you can program gender-specific intros and win animations. Otherwise, that Quagmire victory animation could get kinda weird…
Today I saw for the first time the trailer for the upcoming Highlander video game. Apparently, the clan MacLeod is a vast one, hosting many a generation of immortal. Connor MacLeod was born into it. Duncan MacLeod was adopted. Quinten MacLeod…I dunno, since the animated series is ass anyway. Then last year, we were introduced to Colin MacLeod, who was deemed an honorary member of the clan for his heroism in the animeHighlander: The Search For Vengeance. (Which, by the way, was really just Fist Of The North Star with swords.)
Now we have Owen MacLeod, the lead character in the new Highlander game. I don’t know how they’re gonna do this. On the one hand, you don’t really need a MacLeod to have a Highlander plot. But on the other hand, Highlander: The Raven didn’t have a MacLeod and it was ass too.
Plot aside, making an action video game sounds cool for Highlander, but I can imagine it would be difficult to make believable. Cuz either you have hundreds of immortals that you cut your way through in each level, or Owen will slaughter hundreds of mortal civilians before reaching an immortal boss. Either scenario sounds excessive in the accordance of Highlander lore. But I suppose if there’s a will, there’s a way…
One game that seems to have stuck out beyond any other from last year, praised by the likes of David Sirlin and Penny Arcade…and that game is Portal. Just from seeing the trailers alone, I love the idea of Portal. I really want to play Portal. The trick is, I can’t buy Portal.
Not that it’s impossible for me to obtain it ever, but I mean that I can’t just buy Portal. I gotta buy The Orange Box if I want to play it. I’m not a really big fan of FPS games and Half-Life 2 doesn’t really interest me, as much as people seem to enjoy it. And while I like the look of Team Fortress 2, it’s another game that doesn’t tickle my fancy. So I can’t find myself feeling justified in slapping down $40-50 for five games (which at first sounds like a sweet deal), when I’m not even going to touch four of them. I’d rather pay maybe $15-20 for Portal by itself. It’s all or nothing. I can’t even find anyone selling just the Portal disc on eBay.
As of this writing, I’ve not yet heard of Valve releasing Portal by itself, though I have heard talk of a sequel in development. I’d rather not play the second game without having played the first, since the first not only would get me in tune with the basic gameplay, but it’s already been established as a hit. It’s similar to how even though I felt We Love Katamari was the better game, I still appreciate that I played the first game to prepare me for it’s predecessor.
I can only hope that in the new year, my luck will change. Either Portal will be released as it’s own title, The Orange Box will drop below $20, or someone will hawk the disc on eBay. Think of the possibilities…
Just about a month away, Capcom finally sent out it’s official release date for Ace Attorney 4, “Apollo Justice”. I can’t tell you how much I’m excited about this game. I’d just completed the third Ace Attorney game a couple of weeks ago and I’m already feeling the withdrawals!
From the looks of the official announcement, it looks like everything is about the same as the previous titles. Some of the elements that were introduced in the special 5th case in the first Phoenix Wright game will be exercised in this new game, since it’s the first of the series to debut on the Nintendo DS. What interests me is a new feature, called the “Crime Recreation Mode” in which you’re able to seek out clues by recreating the scene of a crime. Kinda like the flashbacks you see in an episode of CSI when they’re explaining a hypothesis, I’d imagine.
Either way, I’m stoked. Many of my peers are just discovering the series and are getting hooked. One of my favorite online resources of Ace Attorney-related material can be found is Court Records, which is currently holding a contest regarding the present whereabouts of past characters in the new game’s time frame.
As the administrator of this site, I have to make sure that it’s as accessible to as many people as possible. So far, I’ve been managing the code as if the only web browser that people use is Mozilla’s Firefox. It’s only now occurred to me that the majority of people on the intertron still use Internet Explorer as their browser of choice. So out of curiosity, I pulled up this site in IE and I’ve learned that it doesn’t quite look as good when viewed that way. Especially the Radio Show Archives page.
So I’m going to look into fixing the code so that it’s viewable for both of those browsers. Since IE and Firefox are the Big Two in the web browser market, those are what I’ll be focusing on almost exclusively. Though if you are looking browsing the intarwebs using IE, please do yourself a big favor and switch over to Firefox. It’s free and well, better.
