I’m addicted to Collector’s Editions

Hi. My name is Jermaine Pulliam and I’m addicted to collector’s editions. More specifically, I’m addicted to limited editions of anything. I’m not sure exactly when my addiction started nor do I see an end coming to this horrible problem in the foreseeable future. I can’t explain why I’m addicted to collector’s editions but I can share my experiences so that you know that you’re not alone.

And the gamers who play them: Survival Horror

Maybe this coincides with the fact that I hate horror movies, but I cannot play through survival horror games. I’ve played the demo of Condemned, Fear for the PS3, Code Veronica, Fatal Frame, and even Resident Evil 4; I’ve beaten a total of 0 of these games.

From here on out, videogame is one word!

How many times have you typed videogames only to be told by FireFox or Word that you’re an idiot? I’m sure plenty; it sucks and it’s changing today. Will this catch on? Probably later than sooner. Will you look like a d-bag for typing videogames as one word and not two? Possibly for the foreseeable future. But in order for change to happen, you might have to look like a d-bag for a while. Imagine how many times the first genius who decided to milk a cow got flamed. I’m sure people made fun of him until he died because you can’t let something like that just slide. That would be like if I thought soy made you gay….Seriously though, why in the world would you just decide to milk a cow? What in hell was that guy thinking? On second thought, I don’t want to know.

Today will no longer be known as February 25th, but as the day the world declared in one voice: “We will not go quietly into the night!” We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!


Blast from the Past: The Sega Channel

Some of you might be to young to remember this but back in 1994 Time Warner and Sega teamed up to create what was something very very forward thinking and ahead of it’s time: The Sega Channel. “What is the Sega Channel?” someone of you say. We’ll let’s take a little trip down memory lane and dissect what was one of the best ideas that was lost in the wind.

2007: A great year to be a gamer.

Damn it feels good to be a gamer. Just this week two huge titles are coming out: Super Mario Galaxy and Assassin’s Creed. This year has already seen some innovative, amazing, and down right epic games which have pushed the industry even further.

Join me as we take a brief journey through what this year has offered us and will offer us as this year comes to a close.

Note: Not all games this year reflected in this video nor are all platforms represented. I really wanted to use this song in a video and I couldn’t think of a more perfect way. I mean I could but this will work for now until I can get my hand on some expensive fireworks. Enjoy.


This is why I’m not buying Guitar Hero 3

At least not for the 360. You know why? Because the achievements are gawd awful. Now don’t get me wrong, if you are l33t in the ways of Guitar Hero, you might look at this list and ask me why am I complaining. But for those people like me who can beat Hard mode and skim by on some songs on Expert see this list and see a list of failure that will forever be on our gamer profile. And yes, I care that much but stick with me here.

So I was bored and…

I decided that I’m going to try and do a video review of games that I own or will own. Something really quick and not to in depth. We’ll see how it goes.


The reason I still have a Wii: Comes tomorrow

MP3

That’s right, tomorrow the game I bought the Wii for comes out. That game is Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Pushed back almost a year from it’s original intended date of launch, the game built from the ground up with the Wii controls in mind comes to us August 28, 2007. I can’t exactly describe in words how excited I am for this game. I’ve played every…EVERY Metriod game in existance and have beaten them all with the exception of Metroid Prime: Hunters; which I do intend to beat.

I love everything about the Metroid series from the exploration of vast levels, leveling up Samus, the epic boss battles, and even backtracking. Yes, I like backtracking. I’ve been playing BioShock but that’s going to have to be put on hold until I beat Corruption. If you’ve never played a Metroid game, I’d advise you to head over to GameTrailers and check out there 5 part Metroid Retrospective. If you don’t want to watch all five, at least watch the last one. It’s worth it.

Apparently I Like First Person Shooters … a lot.

There are so many games I want to get in the next few months. Too many. So I started making a list to keep all the release days straight. This is the “I-have-to-get-or-I-will-die” list, so there are a few more that I want, but probably won’t get. It comes out to almost $500 in video games, time to start saving up.

Xbox 360

  • 08/21/07 — BioShock
  • 09/25/07 — Halo 3
  • 10/09/07 — The Orange Box (Half Life 2 - Episode 2)
  • 10/17/07 — GTA IV
  • 10/??/07 — Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Wii

  • 08/20/07 — Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
  • TBA 2007 — Super Mario Galaxy

DS

  • 10/01/07 — The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

PC

  • TBA 2007 — Crysis

At least I’ll have lots of games to play while everyone complains about how I got them lottery tickets for Christmas.

My Top 5 Video Game Podcast

Being that the iPhone is coming out tomorrow, you might need some content to fill it up with right? Sure there’s music and videos, but have you heard of a little thing called a podcast? Imagine all the news that you want to know, portable, in nice thirty minutes or up to two hour chunks. There are podcast for everything from calculus lecturers to cooking. I’m sure you could even learn how to speak another language from a few of them as well.
Today boys and girls, I would like to give you my top 5 favorite video game podcast. I’ve listened to a lot of podcast geared toward video game and I think that these 5 outshine all of the rest. Yes they are ranked in order and no I don’t care if you agree with me or not. Interested? I thought so.
