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!

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.

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.
