MAG

More...

Well its about time i write a new article to bad i wont be doing a full coverage of it until the end of the beta cause that's all I'll be playing. But until then ill report on what I know right now and how to get into the beta.So far from my sourses that i have gained i can say that the beta itself runs at a smooth 30 fps with 256 people. Also I have not yet heared of connection failures in a match. Character custimization has been designed so detailed from the weapons you will use, to the looks of your character. Something Modern Warfare 2 seems to be lacking in showing us espesially so close to release. This custimization will give you loyalty to the faction u pick to fight for. Whether it be the militia gurrila fighting SVER, the more modern army Valor, or the high tech pussies known as Raven. With it closer to beta time for me I will do a final report on it soon, please check back in on the 24th to read how mag stacks up.And to get into the MAG beta u need a annual subscription to qore and you will get an email giving you the beta code. NOTE* You must purchase qore before September 17th because thats when the beta opens and you must enter the code within 24 hours or the opening or you just wasted 26 dollars. P.S About time you guys are gonna get a ps3, and it's even better it is a slim.

Finally Something PS3

Uncharted 2 was a big hit at E3 2009. And who wouldn't be blown away at what this game has to offer. First off, the graphics in this game look amazing and it puts games like Killzone 2's graphics to shame. Everything down to Nathan Drake's hair is detailed, and it is truly showing the power that PS3 has to offer. But the graphics are not the only reason why Uncharted has captured the attention of so many people.

A new feature to Uncharted is the online play which looks promising, with a coop story in which you and a friend can play as Drake and some other person that is to be revealed. There are are also your standard team deathmatch, deathmatch, and other new modes that will be shown as the date of release gets closer. One mode that I enjoyed was where two teams have to fight to grab the treasure and bring it back to their base. The only thing is that when you are carrying the treasure your speed drops dramatically and you can only defend yourself with a pistol, so teamwork will help you and your team succeed in your missions

Overall with a cover system that feels like Gears of War and a much improved melee system than the first installment, Uncharted 2 looks to be a promising game this holiday season...

Mission Accomplished.

Last night we had our 7th discussion show and I think it was our best. It seems we work much better off of you guys and your questions than what we prepare ourselves. We definitely need work still, but we're slowly getting better and better at talking about things and going from topic to another.

After watching the show last night, I really want to do an extended show just for our top games. As I start thinking about more and more games, I want to go back and change my all time faves. I'm sure everyone else will be up for it as well.

Last but not least, the show is on JTV in our clips section, sorry about the 10 min thing, I didn't feel like editing it a bunch of times just so I can put it on Youtube, and of course it is on Youtube at http://www.youtube.com/user/CanGamers ! Leave your comments, join the channel, and of course keep spreading the word about us :) Thanks a bunch from CCG!

Busy Busy Busy.

Few things to tell you guys about in da blog. First, we changed the layout, hope you like it, because we're not changing it. Second, we're coming up on the date that our dad moves out and me, Dillon, my girlfriend, our older brother, and his girlfriend rent the house. So we might be off and on for the next week or so until everyone moves in. As well, our older brother Brandon will be joining CCG, he's pretty excited.

I'm not sure yet, but we may be without internet for awhile, our local ISP, Cogeco, has fucked us in the ass and I'm not taking that shit. No pun intended. So now I'm looking for a new ISP that has a bigger bandwidth cap and better service than those clowns. I'll be sure to notify everyone if we have to stop broadcasting for a few days. Or more...

I just wanted to thank everyone who faved us and the people who come in and hangout and play with us. I was feeling kinda crappy because there's so many shitty channels that have so many viewers and faves, yet they do absolutely nothing, while we try to be somewhat entertaining to you guys and ourselves even. I then watched 4PP's very first broadcast and felt immediately better. They are basically 3 dudes behind a camera, Travis and Nick weren't even there! So yeah, I think CCG is off to a good start, 151 faves in a month or so, without having to play AVGN!!

Now for a more serious topic. I know that I play a lot more than everyone on the feed, because I have a LOT of spare time. But there are 3 other members of CCG. So for the sake of all our sanity, please do not assume I am playing all the time, and PLEASE don't turn me into Brad. If that ever happens I will stop being a part of the broadcast. I swear to Galactus. I do not do everything on the broadcast, in fact I do pretty much nothing except play the games and write in this here blog. Dillon is responsible for ALL the designing and awesomeness of everything. Seriously, all of it. Jake and Erik, well, they don't do much lol. We're actually thinking about getting another capture card so that Erik can take his home and start broadcasting so that all members of CCG get some play time and so everyone realizes that it's more than just Dillon and I.

Final note, DISCUSSION SHOW TOMORROW :) 8:30 PM EST

Super final note, IT'S SPELLED D-I-L-L-O-N not DILLION!! We're going to timeout people who deliberately spell it wrong, it's infinitely annoying.

Untitled Blog Entry.

Dill and I are going to be in Niagara Falls, Ontario from this Friday until Monday, so unless Jake or Erik steal all the shit for the weekend (which would be cool) there will be no broadcasting until next Monday.

I want to take this time to strongly encourage people to join the forums located on the right side of the blog, or here http://cangamers.proboards.com/index.cgi . The forum is going to be an invaluable tool in making the broadcast and the discussion show better. We will check the forums daily for new topics, and we'll start some more to get the ball rolling.

I hope by the time I get back we're unflagged. Cause it sucks.

-Tyler

Poop. And Lots of it.

So we're flagged. Again. Apparently you do need to be flagged multiple times to actually get flagged, so that sucks. I've messaged the admins and whatnot and all I can do now is wait. It'll be kinda dry for a few days until we get unflagged. I also posted on the JTV forums(if you could call them that), and am trying to get them to change the system. I urge everyone to go to http://www.justin.tv/networks/justintv/forum/topic/3b4e16bd59806de2/we_need_some_harsh_punishment_for_false_f?page=1 and give you opinion on this bo schitt. The flagging system is very flawed and needs to be fixed.

And now, more things.

The discussion show sucked. I gave up about 2 minutes in, when there were 5 people. Basically it was pretty pointless as we had NO topics, and we weren't listed on the live channels. Ah well.

We are going to be filming our intro video in a bit, we're just waiting on Dill for more details.

Special thanks to Cmm1990 in chat for donating 2 bucks!!!!

As always, keep visiting, commenting, and SPREADING THE WORD MOST IMPORTANTLY!

Tuesday we will be having our 5th discussion show at 9:00 PM EST. Topics will be Red Dead Redemption, Bioshock 2 Multiplayer, CoD MW2 Trailer, and other stuff. Tune in, tell your friends!

CCG Apparel!

We are currently working on setting up an online shop at www.cafepress.ca to help us get some revenue so we can keep making our broadcast awesome. Plus, it's money in our pocket. All kinds of Canadian Couch Gamers clothing and miscellaneous things will be available, so stay tuned for the launch :)But don't worry, if we start making enough money we will be giving back to you guys. I realize that we have some kickass fans and the ones devoted enough to help us out by buying merch, donating, and just helping advertise us and stuff, I wouldn't be able to thank them enough. Dill and I have some big ambitions for this live broadcast, so just wait and see.

We will also be giving away our merch for free in contests and stuff in the future, so keep watching and playing :)

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.

-Tyler

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

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.

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.
