FEAR 2 - Colorful Commentary Chapter 1

Ok so once again my local BlockBuster is all about not having any new releases available, so I decided to pick up a "somewhat" newer title. since I loved the original FEAR, I figured this couldn't be too bad right? right? We'll see. Oh and there is a BBQ that has been going on outside for the past hour and the music is obnoxiously loud. And I'm 17 stories above the party.

11:04am Clean pair of pants and I'm ready to go.

11:07am Mmmmm Blood

11:10am Was following a little girl - Alma - and now chillin in...something...getting briefed. Apparently they want this "fuck up free" lol

11:12am OK so it was an APC I was in. Funky. Now Jankowski and I are off to nab - I mean protect- some girl named Genevieve and then hook up with our team. Easy peasy.

11:14am Got a call that some people had died in the hotel we're in. it was only a janitor. Still easy peasy.

11:17am Met up with the team in the hotel. Stokes is hot. The dead guy on the counter is not.

11:18am Rolling out and a baddie shot a teammate. "he's bleeding". No kidding. Maybe the fact that he is laying on the ground because he was SHOT had something to do with it.

11:20am Hotty and I are off to investigate on our own. Kinda funny riding in an elevator with a corpse and hearing cheerful muzak.

11:22am Woot. First firefight. Nothing tough.

11:24am Found a dead janitor. I hope it's the same one they were talking about or else it's not looking good for the rest of the cleaning staff.

11:30am Found some nades and armor and I shot a guy who bent over backwards in half - sprang back up - and continued to shoot at me. That was odd.

11:35am Reached a bar in the hotel. Much glass breaking going on. Lizzie would be proud.

11:39am Few more baddies. Nothing special. Walked into a pool and a ko0ky cut scene played.

11:45am Walked onto a balcony and I am enjoying the view. *sigh* Welp back to killing.

11:47am Dammit Beavis! A guy just popped out of a door and scared the shit out of me.

11:48am Hrmmm. Alma appeared and played with a music box. I think I'll piss her off and close it. Oh look, it opened a secret passage.

11:51am Found Genevieve and hotty she is not. Alma's playing tricks now and it looks like it's time to leave. Reached the balcony again and now there is a naked older Alma on it. Sweeet. Oh crap. Nuke. Not sweet.

11:52amAfter the enigmatic cutscene, apparently the Interval is over.

11:59am Party outside is still going strong. Sounds like Caribana down there.

12:00pm Woke up in a hospital room with no guns. Boo-urns.

12:04pm Walking through the hospital, following a naked girl and a blood trail.

12:06pm God dammit. A woman just put'em on the glass and scared the crap out of me.

12:09pm Genevieve just warned me about the soldiers in the building, then I picked up a piece of intel - from Genevieve - that told me the exact same thing she just did. That was worth it.

12:10pm Oh noes. We has a spy on our comms. But he did warn me of an upcoming ambush. That was nice of him.

12:13pm Found some guns finally and the mystery man said his name was Snakefist. Well I know it's not really because I already read an intel that said his real name.

12:19pm Reached an elevator and got attacked. Bitches broke my glasses.

12:20pm Reloaded and hopped on the elevator. Followed the hallways around a little and found more enemies. *yawn*

12:30pm Still wandering. Alma is leading me to a nasty morgue where the doors just flew open in a hissy fit.

12:35pm Found the other elevator I needed and then ran into Hotty and Notty at the lab. They made me step into a capsule and after that I have no idea what the hell happened.

12:39pm Had a face to face with some douche and stumbled out of my tube.

12:42pm More baddies to kill. Nothing to see here. Move along.

12:45pm Apparently I`m being corralled into an air vent. found more info on Alma and back out we go.

12:46pm And there she is again waiting outside the vent.

12:48pm For a freaky psychotic chick, she is quite helpful. Opened a door for me to let me access the staircase and end the interval.

Taking a break for now. Baseball game is on and me be hungy. BTW FEAR 1 is so much better than this.

9:44pm Not playing FEAR just yet, playing 1 Vs. 100 right now, but just wanted to mention, that the BBQ that was going on with the pounding music just stopped about 2 minutes ago. Almost 12 hours straight. Not bad.

Terminator: Salvation - Colorful Commentary Chapter 9

5:00pm: Great now I have more people bitching at me to get moving.

5:01pm: Hrm...sure are a lot of RPG's in this next room.

5:07pm: Lots of RPG's to deal with the lots of terminators. And dealth with they were. Oh look wasps. haven't seen them in a while.

5:13pm: 6 terminators later and Conner does some fancy computer hacking to disable all the robots. O Rly?

5:15pm: well that's as big of a let down as there possibly is. To escape Skynet, you had to run past deactivated terminators and jump in a chopper to end the game. Whoopdie doo! No boss, no nothing. What about the Harvester at the beginning of the game. Christ, we could have fought that. Shit, fuck that, I want to go back and fight it. But guess what? 360 points for finishing the game on hard. Know what that all equals? 1000 GP. Tee hee.

5:30pm: Credits finished rolling. There sure were a lot of people that contributed to this piece of crap.

Terminator: Salvation - Colorful Commentary Chapter 8

4:36pm: We are still on our way to find this survivor that called us way back at the start of the game. Seems kind of a weird plot for a game doesn't it? Well maybe not for this game.

4:40pm: we now have three more people tagging along with us. Three don't make up for Angie! I miss her crazies :(

4:45pm: well they didn't last long. I was about to say that it's quite amazing how my squad can take any damage and still live. Apparently those three new guys however cannot. I raped them of weapons and am continuing on.

4:56pm: Room after room of terminators. Nothing to see here. Move along.

4:57pm: well that was kinda easy. The survivor gave me a hug. Awww that was gay sweet. What a way to end the chapter.

Terminator: Salvation - Colorful Commentary Chapter 7

3:32pm: Made it to the tower. "No robots." well that should make for an easy level shouldn't it?

3:35pm: What happened to no robots? oh that's right, you set off an alarm trying to pull out a hard drive that you even said yourself was redundant. well that was worth it now wasn't it?

3:50pm: An assload of terminators and spider bots just bit the dust. Can we have a moment of silence for the fallen?

3:52pm: now we need to escape the tower. I don't know why we aren't just running full tilt. I don't think I've ever seen those metal skeleton terminators run. How hard is it to get away from something that takes baby steps after you?

4:04pm: The onslaught has been repelled. On our way out Angie got trapped and we left her behind. Oops.

4:07pm: Seems we have a big tank or something that we hot wired and Warren has come back with his tail between his legs. Good timing there Warren. Why didn't you come back earlier so Angie wasn't left behind!?! Eh?? Bastard. and Geez... 9-2 Braves.

4:23pm: god this game sucks.

4:27pm:
Had to drive the tank through 4 AA turret sections and try to avoid having your guns overheat. Not so easy but finally did it. Huzzah. "Conner, you're getting pounded!" I swear woman, if you yell that at me one more time, you're getting pounded. Oh and since the tank is getting a beating, Conner decides it's best to go in on foot. What? End of the Chapter btw. know what that means? yessir...80 GP.

Terminator: Salvation - Colorful Commentary Chapter 6

I stopped playing to watch a bit of the Jays game. Now I want a Blimpie. No idea what a Blimpie is but I want one.

2:59pm: "Robots don't sneak around" No Kidding. Because I can hear it stomping around from 50 feet away. More terminators and more spiders. Ho hum.

3:02pm: WTF you fucking game. How do I keep dieing when I have full health? GOSH!

3:09: Three "skin jobs" down, three spiders down and three areostat wasp things down. Lets roll! and by roll I mean walk four steps to the next wave of spider bots and skin jobs.

3:15pm: Why hallo thar! Found me a grenade launcher. Of course it outlived its usefulness in about 5 seconds with the massive amounts of ammo it had in it. *frownie*

3:19pm: The outdoor areas of this game are actually pretty impressive looking. Indoors, not so much. And yay 2-2 Jays and Braves.

3:25: 3 more skin Jobs and why for the love of christ can't Conner jump?!

3:31pm:
"Here we go again!" You said it Barnes. And 80 Points for the end of the chapter.

Terminator: Salvation - Colorful Commentary Chapter 5

Ok back at it again. I don't know why since there is a baseball game on at 1:30 I want to watch but we'll see what happens. Checking my email while it loads. lalala oh another follower on Twitter that I have absolutely no clue who they are. But she's cute. Anywhooo...

12:43pm: OK so we are still looking for that original survivor. oh boy! I hope we can meet more along the way! Not really, well sort of. They end up dying which is a blessing for them not to be in this game anymore. Oh look, the women are still telling me to get moving.

12:47pm: Ut oh. Angie is getting all reminiscent. I think she is going to wig out soon.


12:49pm:
Hrm. Lots of RPG's and grenades lying around. Hope it's another boss fight because the last one was easier than anything in the entire game so far.

12:52pm: Angie is talking to Blair about people eating each other. Boom chicka wow wow.

12:55pm. well that was anti-climactic. Instead of a boss I found a group of resistance fighters that made me go all emo and cut myself.

12:59pm Oh noes! I've led the machines to the resistance camp. har har. That's what you get for making me cut myself. Now I have to hold off the machines so everyone can escape. Wut? Why can't I just run away like everyone else?

1:01pm: Oops...back to the grenades and RPG's to kill some robots. "Did you just call them robots?" Ace dialogue, I'm telling you.


1:07pm:
Enter 9 more spider bots which have been easily taken care of by the women. Boobs and guns high five.

1:08pm: Annnnnd here comes 4 more. and a terminator. I have a sliver of health and I have managed to piss it off. Nice move Conner!

1:20pm: Fuck.

1:25pm:
Another 2 terminators and two more spider bots.

1:36pm: Ok two terminators down. 2 spider bots down. Annnd here come more spider bots. Can you say "dragging the game out for the sake of making it longer"?

1:42pm: Wewt. All machines dead and Barnes' charges killed off the rest...that were in a cut scene. Way to help out when it doesn't matter. How about killing the ones that were, you know, killing us. BTW, Barnes looks like a skinny Suge Knight.

1:49pm: all aboard! Riding on a subway car while using a RPG with infinte ammo. Where were you 10 minutes ago? terminator motorcycles are chasing us.

1:52pm:
well that was easy. This train is making stops to pick up survivors. *sigh*

1:54pm:
Survivors loaded onto the train and it keeps showing angie curled up with her head down. She's gonna pop I'm telling ya. The crazies are going to let loose. I can feel it.

1:58pm: The train is back in motion and the motorcylce things are back. And super. 2-0 for the Braves in the second inning. Booourns. :(

2:02pm:
So the train made it out of the tunnel and then derails and flips. That was helpful. Uhm...where are all the survivors we loaded onto the train? The only people who got off were the girls, barnes, the leader Warren and myself. Warren asked if everyone was ok and they all replied yes. I guess he meant if the people still alive were ok, because apparently all the survivors are dead. or they vanished.

2:06pm:
Now I'M REALLY CONFUSED. We are driving in dune buggy type cars protecting a school bus which apparently is full of survivors. Maybe they are like Optimus Prime's trailer that would just appear out of thin air whenever he transformed and then would magically disappear when he turned back into a robot. the survivors magically appear when the game needs a plot device and they disappear when they aren't needed.

2:12pm: Huh. well I failed in protecting the school bus and watched it blow up, but apparently the game forgot that happened 5 seconds ago and is continuing on with the mission with the bus fully intact.

2:16pm:
The bus made it to safety somehow and now Warren is telling me how utterly impossible my goal is. Thanks for the pick me up, dickhead. Barnes and Angie are coming with me and ditching Warren. Har. Now we have decided to go blow up a tower. What happened to that guy we were supposed to rescue? Anyways...guess what? 80 gamerpoints and onto chapter 6.

Terminator: Salvation - Colorful Commentary Chapter 4

Ok not sure how far I'll get into this chapter since it's 3:30 am but omg, the game is sooo good I can't stop playing! Ok, not really. But once I start something, I like to finish it. Let's get some coffee, a smoke and keep on rolling through the crap that is Terminator Salvation.

3:39am: Angie's giving me shit. Typical.

3:41am: So for the record, it's now Blair, Angie and me. If you stand still, to say...type or something, they both actually start bitching.

3:44am: Oh look more spider bots. Go get them my ladies while I chill behind this slab of concrete. muahahaha

3:45am: More wasp things. ladies, you know what to do. Conner is such a pimp.

3:51am: Conner has the goofiest animation when he runs from cover to cover. He runs in place for a few steps and then goes. Like he's building up speed lol

3:58: 3 more spider bots down and now the girls are arguing. Catfight!

3:59am: "It's a Trap!" no stealing lines from Admiral Ackbar there Conner. Oi, more terminators. "I'll take them out" says Conner. I'm sorry, I agreed to no such thing.

4:02am: Terminator punched me in the head. It's not bad enough that you have a friggin chain gun on your arm, but you have to humiliate me, not by shooting me, but by punching me.

4:08am: Terminators 0 - Conner's Girls 2.

4:15am: I swear to god, if you girls don't stop bitching, I'll turn this game around right now!

4:23am: The dialogue in this game is pure gold. When enemies come near the girls they say "leave me alone, I'm reloading", "don't come near me" and "no, help, wasps!" I shit you not.


4:30am:
After 8 more spider bots and who knows how many wasps things, we have reached the tower. I guess that was our goal. I really wasn't paying attention.

4:32am: Ut oh. Lots of RPG's laying around. That's never a good sign.

4:37am: Wow. I really hope that wasn't considered a boss fight. The HK - Hunter Killer - took 3 rockets to kill it. I could see 6 RPG's on the ground from where I was standing. Not a hard battle at all. But now we are on our way to the subway. LA has a subway? Who knew?

4:41am: Another 3 spider bots and more areostats. Ho hum. But Angie is going on about having a shower. Puuuurrr.

4:48am: Huh. Fighting more spider bots and went to get some cover behind the fight and a warning came up NOT TO LEAVE THE FIGHT AREA. good gravy, man. What is with this game? I was like 20 feet away.

4:59am: Another thrilling showdown will more spider bots and aerostats. Did they have one guy designing the enemies in this game or what? One guy that was on vacation during the entire development?

5:02 am: I have reached Union station, which is apparently a hole in the ground. Meh, it could be a fat naked guys ass for all I care because it nabbed me another 80 gamerpoints and the end of the chapter.

5:03am: ok that's all the excitement I can take for one night. Time for sleep. I'll pick this up later today.
