HOLD UP! This guy spent HOW MUCH? To play NO MAN"S SKY???

So apparently this moron wrote an article bragging about paying over 4 G's just to play No Man's Sky, of all things.

Some Lack-Wit PAID $4,000 to play NMS

 MAKING BIG WAVES!

The Switch Effect!

Gaming News YOU NEED TO KNOW!! || Nintendo Switch

O...M...G!!!

I just got watching the trailer for the new Nintendo console and I'm LITERALLY holding down my  excitement boner as we speak! They dropped the NX code name and called it SWITCH. Picture this; you take a WiiU, a 3DS and a controller put it in a blender and hit AMAZING, then you get this!

The entire console fits inside a screen roughly the size of the WiiU remote and it sits in a special cradle to play on your TV. Then If you're going somewhere you can take it out, slide on the two side pieces from the controller that comes with it and play lit like a handheld! Best thing is you can take to a friend's house, give him one of the controller side pieces and destroy him in SMASH BROS! 

AND IT'S ALL IN THE SAME COMPACT CONSOLE PACKAGE! 

Every other system out there is running back to the lab like

NINTENDO JUST TOOK A HUGE, STEAMY SHIT OF AWESOME ON THE WHOLE DAMN GAME!!

Don't take my word for it, SEE FOR YOURSELF! >>  

~~(Gaming Radar)~~ The Maestros on STEAM Greenlight

PER the post on STEAM

"The Maestros was started by a handful of intrepid students that loved RTS (real time strategy) games like Warcraft 3 & Dawn of War, but were deathly curious to see what would happen if they dipped the genre in a light, airy fondue of the high-octane playmaking you might see in a first person shooter.
First, they took an axe to 10-minute ramp-up times.
Next, they swapped ten-tier tech trees for combining robots in the heat of battle and genetically mutating animals on the fly.
Finally, they strapped a Tesla coil on a robot-unicycle, embedded a rocket launcher in a tortoise’s shell, and said a Hail Mary or three.
And thus, The Maestros was born. A multiplayer RTS Arena about beating down leafy monsters so you can combine clunky robots, mutate adorable animals, and team up with your friends in a magnificent deathmatch. Pick a commander from the dieselpunk Knights of Teutonia or the futuristic Alchemists of Regalis, and guide them and their squadron of wildy cuddly and mildly vicious minions to glorious, glorious victory.
Three years, thousands of playtesters, and a whole lot of caffeine later, those same guys want to bring this game to Steam. So, what do you say?"

You can find the game and info HERE!

After reading this, I'm reconsidering buying a new gaming console. I'm a big fan of Sony's Playstation brand and really wanted to get the newest one, but if my system is going to be obsolete within a year, I can't justify the cost.

Take a read and give me your thoughts!

Gaming News YOU NEED TO KNOW!! || Pokemon Uranium gets taken down!?!?!?

IT'S A SAD DAY FOR GAMERS AND POKEFANS EVERYWHERE!

The fan game that took almost a DECADE to make and reached 1.5 million downloads has been taken down by the developers today.

In a statement Uranium Team released:

"After receiving more than 1,500,000 downloads of our game, we have been notified of multiple takedown notices from lawyers representing Nintendo of America.

While we have not personally been contacted, it’s clear what their wishes are, and we respect those wishes deeply.

Therefore, we will no longer provide official download links for the game through our website.

We have no connection to fans who reupload the game files to their own hosts, and we cannot verify that those download links are all legitimate. We advise you to be extremely cautious about downloading the game from unofficial sources.

We are blown away by the response this game has received, and we thank you all so much for your outstanding support.
We will continue to provide Pokémon Uranium-related news and updates through our official channels.

You are welcome to continue discussing and sharing content related to the game on our forums and Discord, where there is a very active community.

Thank you for reading, and let’s share the love of Pokémon!"

It's a shame that folks won't be able to get to play and enjoy this Fangame masterpiece, but I'm sure they'll be places where it can be downloaded from.


Like, say, right Here!

Gaming News YOU NEED TO KNOW!!

 So apparently, Microsoft has some cross-platform initiatives in the works between the XBoxOne and Windows 10 (OOH BOY), but aside from that, they also are hinting at a possibility for cross-CONSOLE capabilities as well! Is this a last-ditch effort to stave off the #PCMasterRace? Is this good or bad new for you? Not sure what I mean?

Here's the IN-DEPTH SCOOP!

This is something that ALL PC (MasterRace?) Gamers should worry about!

Def GLad I don't have Nvidia in my system, but  still something to think on. How do you feel?

[{o-.o}]~~ Games I'vePlayed recently... Onion Force

The Developer, +Queen Bee Games  was kind enough to reach out to me on email and gave me a key to play this. Before doing so, I took a lil look at the other reviews of this game. Almost completely down the middle in terms of Positive and Negative reviews!

Needless to say, I was intrigued and played it myself. Here's how it turned out...

The game from every standpoint has the makings of an Indie HIT! The only thing in it's way is the controls! But, fear not! At this very moment the devs are hard at work fixing that and once that's done, LOOK OUT!

Folks, definitely love this, innovative spin on the Tower Defense/Strategy Genre.

Play this for yourself and see!

Now if I could only get this track to divert to my YouTube, I'd be set!! LOL!

Subscriber Struggles...

"You should have/deserve more subscribers."

If I had a subscriber/dollar for every time I've heard that line, I'd have...a few more subs than I do now. It seems like an uphill battle to get anyone to subscribe to my channel. I'm not sure what I've done wrong! 

Am I not screaming enough? Not funny enough? Is it the lack of cuss words? i try to share my stuff as much as possible to other but it seems like no one is interested. I don't think I sound any worse than other YouTubers out there. I conquered the awkward silences and can literally talk about whatever comes to mind during gameplay.

I tell stories from my life. Maybe I should try to stay more on game when I commentate? Who knws.

But it's not all bad. there are those few folks who like my channel and all I do and they make things worthwhile. I feel like I can keep at this because they value my work. And that keeps me trying my hardest to improve the channel for them.

So I'll keep at this for another year. And maybe over time I'll gain another few subs. But that's fine. As long as my fans keep coming back, it's still a win in my book... 

Five NEW sUBSCRIBERS in like 2 days!!! XD

Gotta thank the Most High for this! May not seem like a big deal, but it is for me. I always feel so invigorated when I get new subs. Especially when they're in groups! Seeing things like this, keeps me motivated to producing content for folks to enjoy.

GOD willing, I keep this momentum going and generate more views/subs...

Looking Back...

It's a little more than a year into this whole YouTuber thing. I've only really gotten gained a little over a hundred subs.honestly, I feel like quitting, No one watches my stuff and if the do, there's no commenting. I've held contests with mediocre results and my tweeter is so-so in terms of getting the word out. But somehow, I feel like giving up will have me miss out on something AMAZING. Like I'm just about to turn the corner into AWESOMENESS and make this channel successful.

Originally, the subscriber count was like 0, but since that boost from my short time as a member of SotoNation. (Tommy gave me a boost in subs with a shoutout and it went up to like 109). Since then, I've spent hundred on equipment, games, Skylanders and advertising and results are slow, but growing. I've gotten some help from other YouTubers I watch (+ExileonZTube, +B4NTO and others), and my social media presence is helping. I think what I need is a new ad campaign and a new gimmick to catch folks attention.

I have some ideas cooking up in my brain. I'm not licked yet....



ONWARD AND UPWARDS!!!
