And so the Gears of War stop turning.
Epic released their not so epic update to Gears of War today, fixing many glitches and adding a new game type. Another thing they “fixed”, despite it being perfect, was the game’s roadie running system. Where once it was that you could run across the entire map without having to worry about getting stuck to something, now all you can do is run 5 feet with nothing but worry of getting stuck to something. They supposedly adjusted the roadie running system by “reducing frequency of accidentally grabbing cover while running” but it seems they did just the opposite.
I just finished playing Annex for nearly 3 hours and found that every time I tried running around the map I would do nothing but get stuck to something at the slightest movement. At one point Gears of War was good, now it’s a piece of crap. Good luck getting people to pay for your new maps now that you’ve made the game a huge steaming pile.
No More Downtime
The servers have been switched over so you don’t have to worry about any downtime. It appears that the transition went very smooth.
Video Game Development
Ever wanted to look into the world of developing video games? I’ve brought over my old blog called Video Game Insider and merged it with StuffWeLike.com. All of the previous posts appear now in their original categories. I’ll try and continue with this and write some new posts that might inform you all.
Burger King, haunting your dreams for the rest of your life.
Burger King, back when they released a series of Xbox(360) titles that outsold Gears of war, were holding contests to win a 360 gift pack. It seems they kept their word on the contest, leaving one 360 faithful(among a probably dozen or so) with a nice little package. One winner, named David(not Rodgriguez), obtained one of these prizes and was terrified by what he saw(at least I’d be). Sure, he got a brand new premium 360, 3 extra wireless controllers, 13 free months of XBL, a vision camera, a free faceplate, a wireless adapter for this 360, and a 50 dollar BK gift card, but he also got a horrifying item that would give even Chuck Norris AND Bruce Campbell nightmares.
He got this:
Yes, a Burger KING mask. I’d probably burn the box right there and scrub off several layers of skin off in the shower.
