Two Reviews.

Decided it was time to be generic and put up some reviews of the games I rent, so next week, or perhaps this week, expect at least a review of Dead Space. I dont know if I can make it through The Last Remnant, I'll give it a few more tries, but man, that shit is bad so far.

PS. Sorry about the terrible show last night...I feel like I banged an asian tranny while drunk and Im just realizing it now.

FOURTH SHOW

Erik is an idiot, Jake has to work tomorrow. Show is today at 8:30 PM Eastern Time,5:30 Pacific, and 7:30 Central!

About that show.

Disregard it.

Fourth "Encore" Show

I was going to write a blog entry for the new gaming news that came out, but I thought it would be more fun to just do another show instead. So tomorrow, April 30th, at 9pm, we will be doing another show, with topics on much more recent news, including WET, Dead Rising 2, and Resident Evil:Darkside. Tune in :)

A Few Things

Thanks everyone who came out to the show last night, it was a bit better than before (not really), at least we had topics this time. They'll get better with time, or so I hope. As always, tell your friends, make clips, put em' on Youtube, help us spread the word, and thanks for watching us :)

I've pimped out the forums, it's not anymore complicated than that. Go visit http://cangamers.proboards.com/index.cgi to see. I'm not quite done, obviously we still have to get our own logo on with OUR name, but that's gonna be the layout until someone tells me it looks like ass.

Now onto the good stuff! *rubs hands together*

Today a wave of awesomeness came out to the gaming news world, as I visited IGN and saw a buttload of new videos and information about some games that people are/should be excited about. First off is the new Dead Rising 2 info and trailer

More Dead Rising 2 News & Previews

DR2 is being made by Blue Castle Games, a CANADIAN developer, and is looking pretty damn awesome.

This game is being made totally separate from the original, in that we will never hear of Frank, or Willamette at all. And by the way this game looks, I couldn't give a shit about the original anymore. Dead Rising 2 will feature Chuck Greene, whose profession I would assume has something to do with motocross, given the motorbike and the jacket. It will feature TONS of zombies, up to 7000, which was reinforced by a member of IGN actually ripping through a street packed to the brim with the undead. That makes my pants a little bit wet. I mean, I thought there were a lot of zombies in the first one, 7000 will be nuts. I'm hoping though that it doesn't become an even bigger hack n' slash than the first. I like a good bit of horror in my zombie games, let's hope they can put some amount of real tension and survival in here.

Apparently there is some room for weapon customization as well, or at least the ability to combine multiple items to create one weapon. IGN talked about the propane tank and a bunch of nails to create an IED. Sounds like fun. If done right, I'm sure we all could think of quite a few improvised weapons *thinks of a gasoline filled watergun+lighter*. Sigh.

The tech is pretty amazing, besides the 7000 zombies on screen at once, the zombies you kill will stay on the ground until you leave the area, after awhile creating a very disgusting, rotting, putrid carpet I would imagine. Sounds fun. The visuals I think are much better than the original. Not just the graphics, but the colours and style of everything is much better than the original, I was quite impressed with the detail of the zombies and Chuck.

I'm hoping, though I don't have many doubts, that this game will be 1000 times better than Dead Rising 1. I don't see a lot of room for disappointment, especially the fact that there's online multiplayer, which has been officially announced, but is being kept hush hush right now.

Third Live Show -Help Wanted

Monday CCG will be broadcasting our third discussion show. I AM making topics this time, so it will be much more organized. As well as the show, we will be hosting our first community game night, where we will be playing with everyone from the community who wants to play. Xbox, PC, and Wii only, sorry PS3 owners :( Speaking of buying a PS3, I've found some $300 used ones on kijiji.ca and I might save up for one :) So just wait patiently, I know a bunch of our viewers have PS3's and would love to play with us more. Sit tight, it's comin.

Im now inviting everyone who visits the broadcast to go to our archives and make highlights and clips that you like. We need more clips for the playlist and good clips to advertise ourselves on Youtube. It would be awesome if you guys could help us with that. Im also considering more mods, so now is your chance to suck up haha. The best thing you could do is advertise us wherever you can, make more clips, just help out in any way. Thanks everyone for watching us, as always, we want to hear your comments, so leave us messages, OR check out our forums and post in the feedback section. I'd like to kickstart our forums.

Second Show, Featuring Left 4 Dead Survivor Content!!!

Tomorrow seems like it will be a good day for luring new viewers into the channel, as our second show happens to be on the same day as the new Left 4 Dead Survivor Pack. We will be talking about all things zombie and then playing Left 4 Dead!!!! Be excited!!!! We will be broadcasting most of the day, but tune in at 8:30 PM EST to watch the live show.

First Live Show THANK YOU!

Last night was our first discussion show, I think it went alright. Thank you everyone who stayed and chatted with us, you guys are my heroes. We're getting a mixer really soon, since I will have enough money now, and we also may have acquired a video camera so we can do shows in decent quality. Stick around, keep spreading the word, help us out! Thanks guys! :)

First Live Show This Week

This week, Jake, Erik, and I are going out to a local music store to finally purchase a mixer. I know after I buy it I'll come upon an old one lying around somewhere. After we set everything up we will be broadcasting our first live show :) We'll be talking about some games that have us hot in heavy in the pants. For me it's Silent Hill:Shattered Memories. Not sure what Erik and Jake are thinking about, but nevertheless we invite you guys to join the chat on Justin.tv and give your opinions and talk to each other and us! As always, keep watching and spreading the word.

Broadcasting on PC is hard.

If anyone knows how the fuck to broadcast WELL on a PC, please tell me on my channel or this blog or the forums or anything. It's bullshit, it can't be that hard just to put up a shot of your desktop without it fucking up totally. Thank you and good day.

New Channel..Sort of.

I closed the old account and created a new one, just Canada Gamers. It sounds much better. Unfortunately I lost mah fans and clips, so I kinda have to restart :( Ah well, at least now we're on the directory of channels and viewers can no come in randomly and see that we are awesome. If you're reading this and you enjoyed the old channel, PLEASE favourite the new channel at the link to the right of the blog. See you again soon!

Lack of, thereof.

Many new games that have hit the scene in the past few years have been, let's face it, less entertaining than a dog taking a shit. Now respectively, there were a few that stood out from the crowd. Games such as Fallout 3, GTA IV and some other titles turn out to be pretty decent. However, as a general statement, I had more fun playing Supermario World for the SNES than I did playing Deadspace, or F.E.A.R.

My only hope is that video game creators out there speak closely to their muse's and start creating those magical games that once had me hooked for hours. No more of this sequal to a sequal bullshit we've all come to know.

Can't wait for FF25. I hear it's suppose to be better than the first 24.

Hannah Montana: The Movie... The Game.

UMM AWESOME!?

I don't know if you guys are big fans of the Fallout series, but if you know their history, you'll know there was supposed to be a little MMORPG called Project V13. But anyway, on Gamespot I saw a little news report that it is finally being made!! This is quite exciting for both people who love Fallout and love post-apocalypse themed games. This also means, depending on whether this game is a success, that Interplay could have a huge financial turnaround and start making the fantastic games it's known for making.

More shit is going on with JTV, a lot of the other channels are starting to hold off on their broadcasting as the channels are filled with bugs and stupid shit that should be fixed hopefully soon.

Sometime this week Erik and I will probably do a short little news segment, filled with what we're excited about right now. We're also going to let you guys choose what game I rent (gotta be for either Wii or Xbox 360, sorry PS3 people :( I'll get one eventually) and we'll go through the game and give a review.

As always, keep visiting this blog, visit the channel, though I won't be broadcasting for long periods until JTV is totally fixed, I dunno what the hell they were thinking with that stupid server switching. Leave your comments here, favourite the channel, spread the word. As well, enjoy the new clips, especially Dillon singing, listen right to the end. Massive fail.

JTV=Clusterfuck of GAH

We're not even going to bother broadcasting until JTV is fixed. It's just nuts. Balls. The site is reverting to old layouts, our text sections are all messed up, it's screwing up our archives, it's bad. Hopefully it'll be solved tonight so me, Jake, and Erik can play something tonight. Maybe some Super Smash Bros or something. Sigh. Keep spreading the word and visiting this blog as well as joining our forums. We can make Canadaland Gamers an awesome channel, but without an awesome community, we're done. We want to game with YOU! So visit often, I see a bunch of people who come in but don't register...REGISTER! Then we can chat and have a ball. Or two.

On another note, I'm going to start thinking up ideas for some discussion shows on miscellaneous things that are going on in the gaming world. I'll post those when I'm ready.

The First Broadcast

I'm gonna label it as the first broadcast, because I can. So tonight at like 11pm I decided it was time to let everyone who visited the channel know that there are people actually playing. I strapped on the microphone, started up Castlevania and began my 20-something minute monologue. It was really lonely, because most of the time there was only one viewer, me. In a nutshell I let people know that we are actually making an effort to get this thing goin, but we're gonna need help from viewers. We've got some stiff competition but I'm pretty confident that once we establish some regulars and get the shows goin, it could turn out half decent. The quality of the video is a bit crappy for some reason, I'll try and fix that. Sigh, this will be quite a challenge to make this work, but I'm pretty excited for it.

VISIT THE CHANNEL www.justin.tv/teapea
I think from now on I'll just broadcast with my mic on, cause it sorta picks up the sound from the tv, and it is REALLY boring just watching a video game. The commentary adds to the pizaz.

Also, I've created a forum, I know it's gonna be a long ass time before this gets used though. Can hardly establish dedicated viewers nevermind a fucking forum.

Great Success! Except for the whole viewers part.

Yesterday we installed the hardware and software to get this shit going, and it worked very well. I still gotta tweak it a bit to get what I'm playing matching closer to what is being broadcast though. Also, I gotta get voice working too. All in time though.

Tomorrow, First "Broadcast"

I know this is falling on deaf ears for the most part, but I don't give a shit. Tomorrow, April 2nd, will be our first "broadcast". We're not expecting much, it's basically us testing out the tv tuner and seeing how our voices will pick up, as well as how the sound from the tv will pick up. If all goes well we'll be gaming in no time, and hopefully a few people (mainly Steam friends) will be watching and chatting it up! Tune in tomorrow, around 7 pm EST!
