A Gamers Console

For All you PC gamers out there, you know that with each new game released will come packed with new technology. And keeping up is a bit of a hassle. You will always hear us complain, but you'll also always see us first in line picking up the upgrades to play the games. Here's one very nice Desktop PC bundle for the true gamers.

TigerDirects CybertronPC – X-Plorer Gamer Intel Pentium D. Now this thing is gorgeous. Sleek blue and black colour case, speaker and sub-woofer. Powered by an Intel D dual core processor. With a 160GB harddrive and 1 GB of RAM at 400MHz and a 256 graphics card all for about $1000 CAD. That isn't too bad for you Canadian shoppers. And for those of you who dont like the blue it comes in a range of colours from green, gray, to red and yellow. For true hardcore gamers you may want to upgrade that graphics card, but it should run fine when playing your current favourites. Check out the bundle below.

E3, Wii, Halo 3, WoW

E3, Nintendo Wii, Halo 3, and World of Warcraft are currently the most searched for gaming related topics. Hopefully i'll get a chance to update you all on all of them. I'm a fan of all 4.

E3 is always great. A fun and exciting place to find out whats new and whats to come in the video game industry.

Wii, as I've mentioned in a previous post, is the new Nintendo console. Looks great. Can't wait for that to come out.

Halo 3. If it's anything like the first and second one it should be loads of fun. Especially the online play. It's always fun playing with real people then AI.

Which brings me to World of Warcraft. I've been in this realm for about a year now. Absolutely amazing game. With coninuous updates, the world just gets bigger and better with time.

4 great topics to talk about. Drop by soon for continous posts on the topics. In addition to my game development posts of course. It's coming along, but I'm far from creating games related to any of the 4 topics. Maybe someday....sooner than later =)

Fun Filled FLASH!

Wow, it's been some time since my last post. I'll skip the details and go right into my post.

I've decided to create my CEO requested project in FLASH. I have to admit it's coming along quite nicely. It's pretty fun creating graphics and animation with FLASH. So much so, that I've recently ordered 2 new books.

1. Macromedia Flash MX 2004 Game Development by Glen Rhodes and,
2. Flash MX 2004 Savvy: Also Covers FLASH Professional by E. Watrall, N. Herber

You'll notice they're moderate/advanced level books. I've found that practically all the basic knowledge you'll need to be comfortable using FLASH is already included in the software through lessons and tutorials.

It's unfortunate that I can't share my current work with the rest of you. Company/business policies. You know how it is.

So to conclude for today. For those of you that dont want to dive to deeply into heavy coding or have very little to no programming experience I do recommand starting with FLASH. FLASH's action script is not a full-fletched programming language just yet, although, I must admit it does act like one sometimes.

Revolution has a new name! NINTENDO Wii. What is Wii?

Nintendo Revolution has a new name. NINTENDO Wii. Pronounced 'We'. Why the sudden change?

"While the code-name "Revolution" expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer.
Wii will break down that wall that separates video game players from everybody else.
Wii will put people more in touch with their games...and each other. But you're
probably asking: What does the name mean?"

Check it out Nintendo Wii

It's an interesting concept. Strange yet cute name. Nothing surprising from those wacked out minds who created 2 ass kicking plumbers that ate shrooms to gain super powers.

I've always been a big fan of Nintendo. Hell, I grew up with it. Great fun and always different from the rest. Can't wait to see what the minds at Nintendo come up with next.
