i was watching the news the other night while waiting for top gear to come on on bbc knowledge about and update about the battles and shit going on with gaza and israel, and everyone is so cought up with hating on israel for some reason and arent or wont realise that Hamas, who are the other guys, started all of this and has shrugged up israels offers of peace, they keep launching rockets into israel and the world hates on israel cos they defend themselves, granted civilian casualties are a tragedy, but the same civilians are being killed by Hamas and no one seems to give a shit, it's all about "israel did this, israel did that" and no one is looking and saying 1: why the fuck are we not getting angry at hamas for FIRING ROCKETS AT ANOTHER NATION and 2: what would you do if your nation was being attacked aswell? like when america was attacked by terrorists on 11/9 they went and started a fucking war in the middle east, but as soon as israel decides to defend itself against a constant threat all the news are reporting israel is the attacker, and completely ignoring all the real terrorists that is ISIS and hamas and focusing solely on israel, my point is, NEWS IS BIASED AS FUCK.

"Why Steam Needs To Give New Releases A Chance"

(By John Walker on July 21st, 2014 at 5:00 pm)

it was a good read, talking about how if your game aint selling well within the first few hours of it being released in steam, then it would get drowned out by the hundreds of other games that are selling well as there are certain, automatic, requirements that you have to meet to get your game on the front page and whatnot.

but it just goes to show that even if your game isnt on the front page, it doesnt mean its bad, it just might have been a slow day for steam or the day before payday for everyone and totally ruins those peoples chances at getting attention simply because they released at the wrong time or didnt get the word out quick enough.

A game that i enjoyed.

Lets the Races begin!

Timesplitters future perfect, a great shooter with a comical theme, has an inbuilt map maker which is simple to use and easy to get the hang of.

I remember back in the day when the Original Xbox was the current generation and my brother and I would play that game religiously, we would open the map maker and create race tracks for the few vehicles that the game had. One of those vehicles was a Remote Controlled Cat named Strudel. At the time the xbox couldnt support very large maps so we had to find a away to have big race tracks using the small pieces, so we would drive the cats around an obsticle course.

it was the first time we had ever seen a game with its own map maker. we spent hours making more and more maps, untill we hit the "budget" or the maximum allowed placed blocks from then we could go no further.

timesplitters was set in multiple time periods, meaning they had a miriod of choices to choose from when choosing a setting for thier game, from future themes, to medievel and even the 60s.

It Begins...
