Friday Flashback: Jedi Gym
When 3GK first launched in about ’09 we used to have a forum where members could exchange videos and one of the classics that was posed was a video called Jedi Gym. Now for the longest time I couldn’t find this gem because I kept searching for “Jedi Academy” which of course yielded nothing but FRAPS footage of that old game. Now, finally I found it on YouTUBE and with nearly a million hits I would say that...
Caterina Sforza of Assassin’s Creed II
Caterina Sforza was one hot blooded Italian bird I tell ya. It was late in the game and her city was being sacked, children kidnapped by some thugs who sought to use them as a bargaining chip, and all hell was breaking loose. Climbing atop the parapet of the tower facing the men that barked threats at her to surrender the piece of Eden or see her children die, Caterina threw up her dress to reveal her crotch and shouted down to...
NCAA College Football 09 FLASHBACK
In order to play video games online it takes a certain confidence and bravado because you are stepping in the arena with an unknown quotient in a lot of cases. When it comes to sports games people like to talk trash as if they are right there in your living room, but that is the fun of the entire thing. Well I was on a winning streak in NCAA College Football 2009, and had vanquished my last five opponents thoroughly enough that...
Face Off – Chun Li vs Chon Li
One’s a brutal champion of the Kumite, the other – an Interpol Detective, both have damaged their opponents in competition and have reputations worthy of respect. But who will win this face-off? There can be only one in the battle of similar names, will it be Chun Li or will it be Chon Li that walks away with the prize?
Round 1 – Nemesis
Chon Li: In Bloodsport (the movie this character derived from) Chon Li was...
King of Fighters Perfection Was In ’97
While followers of SNK’s King of Fighter’s series may disagree with me on this, for 3GK The King of Fighters 97 was the apex of perfection for this series. Having played the games since my arcade face-offs with Gal Fighter© Team Europe (reppin dat Mai) in KoF ’94, I have always found the games to be one part silly story (omg Rugal’s throwing a partay let’s fight!) and another part Fatal Fury styled combat. Coming off...
Face Off – C.Viper vs C.Viper
One’s a Secret Agent Mom, the other’s a Sci-Fi Legend, both are masters at their craft whether it be making toast or baking toasters. But who will win this face-off? There can be only one in the battle of similar names, will it be Crimson Viper or will it be the Colonial Viper that walks away with the prize?
Round 1 – Use of Fire
Colonial Viper: The Viper heats up under fire and on take-off so flames are a bad...
If You Doubted Megan Fox’s Nerd Cred…
Are you a Megan Fox hater? Then go ahead and kill yourself I hate you. Just kidding but as one of her few nerdy fans I know that Megan Fox is a bit more than meets the eye (pun very much intended). After defending my right to having her as #20 on my nerd celebrity list, it was such a pleasure to wake up this morning to her “nerd raging” on Facebook. Her game of choice? Apparently Halo… Ok so which one of you losers...
Friday Flashback: Crystalis
For anybody that knows me, you know that I am a huge SNK, or “was” a huge SNK fanboi back in the day. One of the first games that started this love affair I had with the company was a role-playing game by the name of Crystalis. In Crystalis you were the standard spikey haired hero on a quest to rescue a damsel in distress. What set Crystalis apart from the other role-playing games is that it’s setting combined...
FF: Romance of The Three Kingdoms
Although the series: Romance of the Three Kingdoms has gone on to make many sequels that have been for the most part successful, for me there is nothing like the crude original. While the original had it’s flaws and shortcomings, it was still one of the most fun forays into history that I’ve ever had in a video game. I think what I liked most about the original is that it got straight to the point. While many looked at it...
Mass Effect 2 – Tali’Zorah
Tali’Zorah Vas Normandy – The Exile
There’s something new about Tali’Zorah when Shepard runs into her in Mass Effect 2… she’s no longer nervous, or as introverted as she was in Mass Effect. No this new woman is on a mission and she is pretty determined and strong in her own nerdy little way. From the evidence scattered throughout the old world of the Quarians, we learn that Shepard had an effect...
