Lets Play: Mass Effect (A Sheep among Shepards.)
Submitted by Minibossweed on Fri, 05/01/2009 - 10:29So here it is the first lets play of mass effect.
This video is just the first 15 minutes of game time from character creation to getting used to the controls.So bask in the glory of the character creation tools and admire the musical score but don't forget to Tune in next time for the rest of Eden prime and the beginning of this massive adventure.
Go Shepard go.I sure hope Jenkins grows a beard at one point.
now any ideas on where to put the stat points. Plan a little ahead as i don't intend to stop and ask every time i level up. 50-60 videos would be a bit to much.
Lets Play: Mass Effect (sorry for the taking up so much of the page.)
Submitted by Minibossweed on Tue, 04/28/2009 - 22:55Ok its time to start off our lets play section of the website.
The opening act this time is a much beloved title Mass effect. This entry is all pictures at the moment but once i get the embedding down the later Mass Effect articles will all be hosted videos.
So lets begin.
The characters past and play type i will leave to you and your comments. The class will be soldier and play will be from the PC version of Mass Effect using my wired 360 pad.


Ok first things first we need a gender and toto give the commander a first name.As well as what he/she did before joining the alliance military.




Now a psychological profile this affects the way some characters may treat you as well as some addition quest lines later in the game. Its not hugely important but feel free to pick one anyways. 


Here we have a few Facial builds to show you how a face can be built with the sliders. This is not a finalized look so feel free to ask that i make the commander the ugliest SOB to ever walk on any planet.
In the name of Disappointment (or how i learned to love the world.)
Submitted by Minibossweed on Sat, 04/25/2009 - 03:59Disappointment were all familiar with the grunting sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach which is not quite the need to poop or indigestion. It lingers on and stick with you much like a child hell bent on ruining your day.
So here we have the 5 most recently Disappointing things.
5.The KIA
Perhaps the shock trailer of Mass Effect 2 showing up after confirming that we could transfer our original Mass Effect data and our commander Sheppard across kind of puts a damper on what it appears bioware has been trying to do. The idea that you will no longer play the much beloved created character from the first game brings back fond memories of Knights of the old republic 2.
This is bad because KOTOR2 was not as likable as its predecessor

Picture is fake and more likely a candidate for the Bam your gay article
4.Lego RockBand

Seriously

Is this what we the gamer who enjoys playing fake instruments because we are much to ham fisted, lazy and generally ashamed of our outward appearance? Is this what we have reduced the industry to? Yes and we should all be disappointed in ourselves.
3.Tales of Vesperia
Welcome to another SimpleCyanide top 10 list! This week we give you the Gayest moments in Videogaming.
If you are yourself gay then please don't be offended by this article, but instead feast your eyes on the sumptuous moments of gay gaming history. Heck, feel free to loosen those leather trousers, pop out the butt plug and have a good old rummage to these gayer than gay moment...
10) Fable - Experimenting
Fable, a masterpiece of a game - giving you the choice to craft your hero into whatever you desire, be you good, evil or gay...

More often than not, while dancing or farting for an enthralled crowd you would think yourself a big - manly man as every woman in the vicinity fell in love with you. But what's this? A heart over the head of a swarthy gentleman? Well i'm flattered but... oh you too? Well... i always open to new experiences...
BAM - you've taken him to a tavern for some sweet bum love and you're gay.
9) Halo 1, 2 and 3- Teabagging
Halo, you all know what it's about. Super soldier master chief blowing up the best part of a species once a game in an orgy of well orchestrated FPS mayhem. Brilliant games, until you get online...

You're just minding your own buisness when Bang! Some crafty beggars popped out from behind a rock and shotgunned you to death. Ah well - nothing to do now but respawn right?
Wrong. Mr. Shotgun comes up to your poor, defenceless corpse, and while you are forced to watch through the deathcam - gently squats on your face. Again and again...
BAM - balls in your mouth and you're gay.
I enjoy playing games where I mercilessly maraud around shooting futuristic weaponry at my friends hoping that my shots meet their target to dismember them. I rarely take a moment to think about the guns that I’m firing but upon reflection, here are my top 10 badass guns of all time.
10. Hammer of Dawn - Gears of War
Put simply - who wouldn’t want an orbital death satellite canon at there disposal?

Guns like this have appeared before in games such as the Ion Painter in Unreal Tournament, but the Hammer of Dawn has unlimited ammo if your not multi-playering and only limitations is the time limit on the beam and the fact you have to have a clear sky...
Apart from that its all good!
9. Redeemer - Unreal Tournament
The Redeemer, a hand held nuclear missile silo with a impressive blast radius - which you'd fully expect from a nuclear warhead.

Even better you can remotely guide the missile to your target, sneaky players could glide up to the other team from behind and let them know that they are there by making contact with a players head unleashing an utterly devastating explosion, just don’t let them see you while your doing it!
8. Spartan Laser - Halo 3
A big red death laser ... sounds right up my street. Designed for anti vehicle use but is also superb in anti personnel use. This highly charged energy laser beam will destroy anything you point it at.
Put in the right hands the Spartan Laser usually leaves opposing players waiting for their respawn.

Just image if you could dual wield it!
7. Lancer - Gears of War
In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war...
But heck - it's not that important a war, so budding commanders need only send a dozen or so men to win it - right?
Welcome to Dawn of War 2 - sequel to the game that pretty much revolutionized the RTS genre, making it more accessible than it had been for a decade. This time it goes even further in it's quest to draw in the wider audience by addressing the issues of what actually made the previous game fun. But lets not get ahead of ourselves, and talk about the game itself. Maybe with the funnies - who knows?
Just to mix this up - I'll look at some RTS conventions, and then show how DOW2 likes to bend them over and give them a good old relic style pounding.
First off we have base building!
Well as everyone knows, building bases, defenses and other such paraphernalia are essentially for homosexuals. As far as DOW2 is concerned if you want to play at real estate developer then go and play The Sims. DOW2's only concession to base building is that one of the hero choices allows you to build turrets, which are of course suitably manly enough to be permitted in the grim darkness of the far interior decorator.
So suddenly you're not looking at a traditional RTS turtling game, where you spend the first ten minutes of every match setting up pointless architecture that allows you to build slightly shinier pointless architecture.
You have one building. It's bum hard, defend it. Period.
This brings us to the units. Now we don't have to worry about managing our housing portfolio we have time to actually concentrate on the units.
Now this isn't Supreme Commander, or even the last DOW. You won't see four hundred units locked epically in pitched battle at any one time. The best results often come from maybe a dozen or so men who you carefully micromanage. It's all about tactics, and picking your battles.
