Pax East 2013 Bioware panel: Getting into the industry/ Bioware

 http://biowarebase.nerdappropriate.com/

 I'm listening to the podcast about getting into the games industry and I must say this is very uplifting and exciting to listen to.. Although I feel like my skills aren't "honed" that well I thought i'd still share this on my blog and see if anyone else agress with me...

 I'm also interested in maybe practicing with a character modeling program to maybe get that experience going.. Any thoughts?.. please share.

random update

 Just another block of text saying I've been wanting to post daily or every other day blogposts, but I just feel like i'm not doing good at this every now and again posting. Maybe it's because i'm not using all the options to their potential when I type this up.. or maybe just not that good :P..

 But I shall try to post more often, and if anyone wants to send me a tip or random whatever just msg me or post a comment..

 Before I go, I'll let you know I'll be getting Tomb Raider on Tuesday or Wednesday depending on how Gamefly works..

 Happy gaming!

Gaming urges

Isn't it cool how you've played an earlier game in a series and you thought it was okay, and had issues with it's combat or story etc. Then by listening or watching something you liked about the game makes you want to look at picking up the sequel or another title in the series.

 Feeling this now with Final Fantasy 13, feel like/hope the 13-2 is better that I'm willing to give it a go, and willing to endure the annoyance if it's not good..
Looking at review stars on sites though, says it's great.http://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&_dynSessConf=-6512769560803269757&id=pcat17071&type=page&st=final+fantasy&sc=Global&cp=1&nrp=15&sp=&qp=&list=n&iht=y&usc=All+Categories&ks=960

One reason why I don't like to buy pre-owned titles

 Big tough sticker on my blu-ray cd :(

TERA and Guild Wars 2

I'm obviously way more excited for TERA and have been waiting for it for over 2 years. I was looking up videos on tera to figure out what race I wanted for what class, and there are obviously Guild Wars comments that are saying hogwash. Soo I typed in Guild wars 2 on youtube and found a part 2 video of actual game-play of the more roguish stealth class with the flintlock sort of pistols.  Wow um since I have touched TERA I don't want to go to any other mmo, I'm always now saying to myself(what did/does TERA do in respect to this game?, What are the controls like?) Just a bunch of questions I'm running through my head and lots of the questions get meh answers.

 I got it, it's a video.. and that automatically isn't gonna be the graphics you will see on your own monitor. But really come onn, the grass, the landscape.. It looked worse then World of Warcrafts landscape(in any expansion). The thing that really made me churn was the movement when his character moved.. WHAT is that??! Any mmo I've played When you strafe or move toe the left or right your characters body twists and you are moving in that direction.. legs moving all that jazz. The character looked like she was skating across the ground.. No good walk animation, and when he was fighting and strafed around monsters he looked like he was skating again around the monsters. His legs moving slow as not to keep up with the run/walk animation and looks like he is skating/sliding.

 Lastly, they are comments but still a comment said look at this detail so much went into this.. Sorry it's real hard to pull off that much detail and small nice touches when the engine is very art like and more animated..
 COOL THING: The character screen.. you get a very nice open and detailed layout, and you get a 3d model of your character which is totally cool!!. Whether it is rotatable or not, I do not know..
Personally: 1 time fee per expansion, free after buying game, chat and supposed story with almost everything you interact with. So a game I see me picking up and playing off and on..

 Unless T.E.R.A. somehow fails like people are overactingly believing then I will probably move to GW2 and possibly back to The Old Republic.

pc's and consoles(mainly ps3)

im loading the battlefield 3 clip from jimmy fallon right now and these comments(also op) are saying "oh you know its not as good lookin as the pc, but its still great". I enjoy having a pc and buying parts for it, but have you thought about it a little more? A computer is a..computer its meant to do pretty much anything, and mutli-task things. Now if you're talking about a PC gaming rig that's 2k+ for something that can run Battlefield 2,3, starcraft etc on MAX EVERYTHING. Of course it's going to look crisp and clean when you've spent that much money on a machine.. Now speaking of the Playstation 3. It released at $600, which after slim its now $300 and some odd dollars, and it runs pretty much exactly like a computer on High maaaaybe a few maxes in there depending on the game.. And you cant really really tell the difference unless you put them side by side.

So im spending $300-400 on something that's non really that different then on a pc(2k+). Hmmm, it just erks me when people say oh it's not as good as on PC. Ok fine!, We got it, you can have extra cripsness and draw distance, etc etc etc. But that should be something that's already in our heads, why do you have to say it... Ugh..

KmartGamer E3

 Hi kmart.. So you wanna know why I'm interested in going to E3 huh, well it's quite obvious, but I'll tell you. 30+ gaming company's will be there, from all over the world. Showing off their products, and hoping to get good news by the end of the convention. To see and watch all this go on with thousands of gamers all around me, would take my breath away..(almost anyway). I would totally be excited to see and cover TERA from bluehole studios.. I've been craving the game when i found out about it 3 years ago.. So being able to play it and report my thoughts would be sweet. And the obvious choice would be SONY. last years home booth was alright, but to be there in person checking out all there latest and greatest games, along with Kevin Butler wooooo.. Twisted Metal baby!!.. also, I'd skip on over to Bioware and check out that astounding Mass Effect 3:).

As for how I discovered you guys.. here you go.

 you know you like that N7 persona :))

who wouldn't want to go to E3 with fellow gamers to blog about a big convention. ?
 Meet you guys who are so kind to pay for the flight, hotel etc.. to chill with fellow industry people would be "oh my god".

PS3 PS3! :D

also the genre which i think would be most interesting to blog about would be rpg's.

hi

hi this is my first blog post, but not last.
i'm still looking for a job again, and it's irritating. i'm starting to think about how I can get into the game industry, and figured this would be something I could show my passion with..


 So to hopefully an industry career in a few years.. *cheers*
