The coolest song in Audiosurf

So, in celebration of one thing or another, Steam decided to put Audiosurf for $3. Audiosurf is this game that generates a track, based on a song you choose and you ride the track, collecting points. I chose on old favorite, "Lip Gloss and Black" by Atreyu. And oh mi gawd. That song is amazing. Both by itself and as an Audiosurf track. It generates tunnels when things are intense in the song and when Atreyu is yelling "Live. Love. Burn. Die", tunnels appear. And it's just a cool feeling.Other than Audiosurf, I've basically been playing WoW, Geometry Wars, World of Goo and Call of Duty 4. I decided to play COD4 again on a whim and I really enjoyed it. It's not so much a shocker on why the game is so popular, because it is intense and unforgiving.

World of Goo!!!!

I went out on a limb the other day. I bought World of Goo. I tried it out as a demo and absolutely loved it. It is a wonderful creation blending imagination, art style and humor into one game. For people who have not played it, the game is an engineering game. You start out a level with lots of goo balls and a basic structure. You place to goo balls near the existing structure and it adds to it in a way stated upon screen. You are always building toward a pipe that you will "escape" the level from. Your goal is to build to the pipe in the fewest amount of goo balls possible, with each one you get increasing your score. This sounds sounds easy (well it did to me) but the game of course throws in curve balls. You have to build over obstacles, some which will pop your goo balls. This game is so different from all the other games I've played recently. I don't really spend a lot of money on games and this game is actually a reason why I do not. The vast majority of games are all the same. Sure, a lot of them are like "Oh oh! look at how our game is so much better! We have 500 player multiplayer and introduce this new gameplay mode called Traffic, where you are all in cars and you try to get to a building to go to work. The more damage on your car, the worse your score". Okay, so? World of Goo is so much different that any other game I know. World of Warcraft is very similar to Runescape, Ultima Online and Everquest. Team Fortress 2 is very similar to most other First person shooters. I cite these examples because I label them my most played and therefore favorite games. The reason WoW and TF2 escape the current of mediocrity is because they do so many things right and their little things are what save them. WoW is such a polished game in so many respects that it differentiates itself from the pack in that way and TF2 's classes go that extra length to make it feel that a scout plays very differently than a heavy. World of Goo is such a departure from modern gaming in general. It's graphics are not stunning although they do add tremendously to the feel and atmosphere of the game as a whole. It's concentrates on a game that asks you to use your mind. Portal is actually an example of a game that was so unusual that people were really taken aback by its quality. 

I also bought Geometry Wars and a wired controller. I don't know where my wireless connector went and so I decided to splurge and pick up a wired one. Geometry Wars is very rare because it is such a compelling game. You just want to play it over and over again. It gets you hooked and doesn't let go. I also found out that my roommate plays Geometry Wars, and so he has been playing it too. He beat my high score :(. O well, that means I'm going to have to practice and beat that. I think 1,500,000 will do. ;).

Geometry Wars

The need for my 360 has finally been quenched. I was able to procure Geometry Wars for the computer. This is also really gives validation to my purchase of the 360 controller receiver for my computer. I am using my controller more than ever. That game is basically an intense acid trip were you fly around and kill shapes. It's a trip.

I have also been playing a lot of Call of Duty 4 recently as well. I am currently level 48 and counting. I have all the guns to look foward to: the P90 and the M14. Well, I'm still waiting on the Barret .50 Cal Sniper rifle, but that's not as anticipated for. So now, I'm just going for M14 headshots. I am almost convinced that I like the red dot scope more than the ACOG. But, I'm going to play more and then we will see. I think it's because I can see more when I'm scoped with the red dot. I hated the iron sights for the M14. It drove me insane. When I hit level 55, I think I might just vagugly attempt to get all the achievments, you know, unlock all skins for all weapons and do all the challenges. But, not activly and not just for that. Otherwise, it would be boring. I have a couple hated maps: Bog, Overgrown and Downpour. I dislike Bloc and Wetwork, but there is not hatred there.

Close shut the jaws of Obilivion

XBOX 360

Well, I finally got a Xbox 360. It's as awesome as i knew it would be. Everything, especially because I got everything needed, such as an extra fan, wireless adapter(which works perfectrly) and another controllers. I obtained Gears of War, so I am playing that a lot as well. I have gone on a mad South Park shopping spree, and bought lots of them. Right now, I am downloading Dead Rising, GRAW 2 Multiplayer, Saint's Row and The Outfit demos. Xbox live pwns.
I was play Dawn of War, and I realized something. If two people are good, the war becomes World War One. It is just a constant stalemate. Obviously, this is a deficiency in dynamic stratagy, but I was unable to puch past it, except at the end, where I suspect that my friend had stopped playing.

Gears, I am playing ranked matches non-stop, hoping to get the achievement. Does anyone know where you can get your stats about that? DOW, playing against people, online. Geo Wars, when I'm bored. Heavy cause I want gamerscore. WoW is not fun, at all.

Playlists

I realized a lot of this is for me. And that no one really reads this. Anyways, rite now ive been playing a couple things:

• WoW: Burning Crusade
  
• GTA San Andreas
• And if it will ever stop, Gears of War
• Stronghold 2 on occosions
• If i get to, Geometry Wars

So, basically, WoW is a behemoth of a game. You think it can be beat by willpower. No, never you always want to play more. If even you don't want to play, you get on and just play. GTA is an awesome game, simply becuase it is so big. Current progress: 86.6%. Gears of War is just Gears of War. Nothing else really servers it. If you have not played it, then you can't know the the joy. Play it. Stronghold 2 is good. Finally a good city building sim with a nice military incorporation. Geometry Wars is just addicting
