RIP TPB

So.. I just found out The Pirate Bay has been acquired and the new owners wish to turn it legit. As in no more pirated stuffs. A sad day indeed for P2Pers everywhere. I believe the reason why someone would want the site is directly related to the amount of press and visits the site sees per day hoping to capitalize on its notoriety in time before the transition forces the community away and all interest is lost. I predict shit tons of adverts on the site in the coming months. Truely earth shattering.

Linky Of Sadness.

Edit: Upon further reading they say "may be" changing owners. However the extent to which they are pleased with this possible venture it is almost certain it will happen if it hasn't already.

Where have I done?

Okay so big week and a half or so. Ready for bullets?

- Finally acquired an Xbox 360. Bought it used and has a Falcon Mobo with a 60 gig HD. I am now officially a cool kid.

- First game I bought? Gears Of War 2. Looks like Warhammer 40k took a shit on a bunch of football players and their surrounding environment. Horde mode is the bee's thorax.

- Bought a Wii Motion Plus. Played T-Woods 10 with my GF's Pep-pep. Baller game fer sher.

- Monster Hunter Freedom unite came out today/yesterday still hunting feverishly for a torrent.

- The Conduit comes out today. I think it might possibly borderline on perhaps being okay to play.

- On a whim I picked up Burnout Paradise from the bargain bin. It's great, It's Burnout. Made me think about when I am going to mod me box so I wont have to buy games all the time.

- Laughed at how the whole Project Natal thing seems to be a bullshit joke-a-thon and seemingly all the things that were touted as being Wii killers are in fact not real. Such as the whole creepy Milo thing.

- Currently compiling my greatest games of all time list. Hopefully I will post tomorrow. We shall see how that goes.

Toodles Pipski.

Powder

I have recently discovered I have an immense liking for Rouglikes. More or less because they are really impressively complex pieces of programming yet somehow easy to pick up and enjoy. That and I do enjoy the random things that take place at any given time within the game world. I have found two that I appreciate considerably:

Wayfarer. Which is currently and continuously in development. I love the style on this one, looks intentionally like classic old Ultima.

And Powder perhaps the most solid of the two. Also the one of which I can play on my PSP and do so quite frequently.

This isn't a battle anymore, It's a motherfucking war...

E309....yay...

Yeah super exciting for the gaming world in general. Announcements for new titles and tech. But for me E3 spells anxiety. Why? more shit for me to keep up with. More games to try, new things to buy. I will say however the announcement of the PSP GO and the MGS for 360 and pc sound hecka tight. Maybe some other stuff. That and the Wii's death is apparent.
