Weekly Clix0rs – January 29th, 2009

Posted in Weekly Clix0r on January 29th, 2009 by Jade Robbins

clix0rThe Battle Of Pittsburgh, In Google Street View – Woot. Streetview catches a very intense LARP battle in the magical land of the Kingdom of Pittsburg. LIGHTENING BOLT! LIGHTENING BOLT!

Nintendo Sixty-FOOOOOOOOOOUR – Youtube. A child is quite excited when he opens a christmas present that is revealed to be a Sega Genesis. JUST KIDDING! Oh man I’m funny. My favourite part is how the boy’s sister jumps up and down feigning happiness just to be “cool” in the eyes of her brother. Seriously little girl, grow up and be your own individual, I mean what are you thinking?

Where the Hell is Matt? – Team Fortress 2 Style – WeGame. Great Team Fortress 2 spoof of the internet video “Where in the Hell is Matt?” Space invaders never looked so good.. . .

The worst games that made it to number one – GamesRadar. A look at WORST games that have made it to the top of the sales charts in the US. What have we learned from this? You could slap “Pokemon” on a dog turd and kids will buy it up like gangbusters.

Not Everybody Is Losing Money (Just Ask PopCap!) – Kotaku. While our favorite game studios arelaying people off, PopCap games is posting an 85% increasein sales. Great, hopefully other game developers don’t see this and start pumping out shovelware “casual” titles using thier popular franchises. Metal Gear Solitare? Half Lfe High Stakes Poker? *shudder*

Weekly Clix0rs – August 6th, 2008

Posted in Weekly Clix0r on August 6th, 2008 by Jade Robbins

This week’s Clixor is heavy on the video, but full of 12 year old goodness.

Temp Fortress 2 – WeGame. Hilarious little video about what happens when the Team Fortress crew loses their jobs.

The 10 Commandments of Xbox Live – The -Minus World. If you’ve ever played any game online you know that Xbox Live is filled with annoying 12 year olds and various other tards. This article addresses 10 things that you should be prepared for when using Live.

Soul Caliber IV Character Creator – WeGame. This is a video of characters created using the Soul Caliber IV character creator, the catch is that they are busy making fighters from other fighting games. I can’t wait for Mortal Kombat vs. Street Fighter vs. Killer Instinct vs. Clay Fighter vs. Primal Rage. It’s in development, I know it.

The Top 7 Games . . . that Don’t Deserve Nostalgia – GamesRadar. I wasn’t going to put this up (because really Oregon Trail is one of the best games ever), but number one on the list is Final Fantasy VII and putting that at #1 makes any other bad decision in the list null and void.

FYI I R Spy – WeGame. Sprays can be so distracting. . . .

Weekly Clix0rs – July 31th, 2008

Playing the Wii Leads to Animal Rape - YouTube. Some little shit is freaking out playing Call of Duty 3 on the Wii when his dog decides to make him his bitch, literally! GET HIM BOY!

7 ways to spot an impending crap sequel - Games Radar. I personally have seen very few sequels and I’ve enjoyed as much as the original. This article makes a nice little list of hints that you can expect to ruin a future sequel. I especially like the Sonic bit, it’s totally true.

Things the Force Unleashed Won’t Unleash – Games Radar. LucasArts is one of those funny “family friendly” companies now that makes everything stupid and for 8 year-ohh i’m olds. THE ORIGINAL STAR WARS GENERATION IS OLD ENOUGH, I THINK WE CAN HANDLE SOME DISMEMBERMENT AND BOOBS. Screw Jar-Jar.

Yes, Even Oprah has Purchased a Wii – Kotaku. This just further proves the Wii’s worthlessness. I pretty much hate anything Oprah likes, because, well she’s dumb.

Madden NFL ’09 – Gamespot. Now I’m not a huge fan of sports, but i love sports games. I don’t really know why. Either way I love football and video games, and can’t wait for this to be released on the 12th. You can probably expect a review!

Weekly (late) Clix0rs – July 25th, 2008

Posted in Weekly Clix0r on July 25th, 2008 by Jade Robbins

This week’s clix0r was late, but also inadvertently full of chicks in games. Keep your pants on, here comes the clix0r:

Mediocre Game Babes – games radar. This is a good list of the game babes that we have forgotten. Everyone remembers Lara Crofts delicious figure and the ass load of crazy Japanese babes, but these are the forgotten babes who just aren’t quite the hotties they should be.

The 8 Worst Game Character Makeovers Ever – GamePro. Funny list about game character makeovers that went bad. I agree with all of them except Lara Croft. I found a more realistic English beauty more enjoyable anyways. The original Lara’s ta-tas looked like breast augmentation done in a Vegas alley.

Attack of the Women Gamers – Cafe. Turns out the number of women playing video games is increasing. That is a good thing! That means less “stop playing games and come cuddle with me and talk about feelings” and more “okay whoever wins this round has to do the dishes”. I can’t wait.

AVGN Batman Part I – GameTrailers. The Angry Video Game Nerd (fresh off the horror that is Superman64) takes on Batman games in honor of the Dark Knight release. Quote of the Episode: “I AM BATMANNNNNNNNN”.

and to finish off this rediculously male-oriented clix0r:

Top 10 Most Ridiculous Undergarments Worn by Women in Video Games – Heartless Doll. This is pretty bad. When you look at this you can tell that a large percent of games out there aim solely to give boys boners. I think the velvet strip across the nipple character was made by a sexually frustrated 13 year old.

Weekly Clix0rs – July 17th, 2008

Being that E3 is cranking, I’ll attempt to stay away from E3 stuff and what E3 stuff I do mention isn’t the “huge” releases that you will see everywhere. This week we have a little crappy youtube video, TF2 spoofing, good ideas implemented poorly, nickel and diming gamers, and some classic crappy games.

E3 08: Duke Nukem Trilogy trailer is the worst trailer ever -  destructoid. They aren’t lying. This trailer tells us nothing about the “Duke Nukem Trilogy” other than the trilogy consists of Proving Grounds, Chain Reaction, and Critical Mass. Other than that there is just a bunch of hard rock with double bass and a bouncing Duke Nukem logo.

Neat Community Creations – Official TF2 Blog. Apparently someone made a fake website detailing the “Spy Update” which had the TF2 community quite confused. The creator’s fake site mockup is perfect and even fooled some of the folks at Valve.

Zero Punctuation: Alone in the Dark – The Escapist. Again our favorite Australian reviewer rips into a game with poor implementation. I of course haven’t played Alone in the Dark, but then again I don’t have ass-loads of money to blow $60 on games that almost everyone says is terrible.

Nintendo MotionPlus hands-on: blah – engadget. What? Nintendo announce ANOTHER peripheral for the Wii? I think thier plan with the Wii was to release it at a lower price with less graphical power and then nickel and dime the owners to death with peripherals that make it somewhat as useful as an Xbox360 (or god, dare I say) the PS3.

Angry Video Game Nerd: Superman64 – Gametrailers.com. The Angry Video Game Nerd reviews what a large amount of people consider the WORST GAME EVER. He doesn’t even get past two levels, which is saying something.
