http://thomasjay.com A Waste of Perfectly Good Time and Space Thu, 30 Jul 2009 19:54:51 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en If the actual game turns out to be just half as awesome as this trailer, Borderlands will make me a very happy man. http://thomasjay.com/2009/07/borderlands/ Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet looks amazing. I really hope this game gets the funding it needs. I’d buy it now if I could and will definitely be there for a day one purchase if and when it gets made. http://thomasjay.com/2009/07/insanely-twisted-shadow-planet/ I just did a mission in RF:G in which a group of NPC's tortured an EDF leader to death while my character defended the vehicle we were all in from the pursuing enemy forces. When I received my payment at the end of the level, it put my total salvage ... http://thomasjay.com/2009/07/red-faction-guerrilla/ Oh, man. You gotta check out the Battlefield Heroes trailer. If this had been a Saturday morning cartoon, I'd have been up at least an hour in advance to make sure I didn't miss it. http://thomasjay.com/2009/06/battlefield-heroes/ I've been playing quite a bit of  Broken Picture Telephone lately. It's a lot like the old party game Telephone except instead of whispering your sentence into another person's ear, you take turns writing and drawing. It's very easy to play and the results are often quite hilarious. http://thomasjay.com/2009/06/broken-picture-telephone/ I wish I had known about YouDontKnowJack.com while they were still producing new episodes. At least they're still up and available to play. http://thomasjay.com/2009/06/you-dont-know-jack/ Tertis is celebrating its 25th anniversary today. Wow, has it really been that long? I don't think there's any other game in history that's aged as well as Tetris has.  To celebrate, why not play a few games? Happy Birthday, Tetris! http://thomasjay.com/2009/06/tetris-turns-25/ I'm excited as hell about a new Metroid game, but I'm not so sure on how I feel about Team Ninja working on it. I'm pretty sure that one of the biggest complaints about Ninja Gaiden 2 was the fact that the camera was ass. Also, I heard the game ... http://thomasjay.com/2009/06/metroid-other-m/ I downloaded Windows Live Writer and I’m just trying it out to see how well it works. So far, I’m actually pretty impressed by how well it’s integrated itself with the site. It synced up with all of my blog’s settings and even downloaded the theme so I can preview ... http://thomasjay.com/2009/06/test/ I'm extremely impressed with what I've heard of Microsoft's Project Natal, so far. I'm just curious as to how soon after its release we'll hear about someone putting their shoe through their 72" HDTV. http://thomasjay.com/2009/06/project-natal/
