Ikaruga

2007-02-16T10:53:00.000Z

I could not let this pass by.
After talking about shooters i had to talk about Ikaruga.

It is made by the best -> Treasure <- RESPECT!
It is the best shooter out there that you can still play on the web, on the Arcades, Dreamcast and Gamecube. And i also heard something about Xbox Live Arcade. You will ear that Radiant Silvergun is "tha winna" or something like that, but its bullshit. Ikaruga rules tall and proud.

You don't believe me?
Hardcore action right here.

Double action on the Arcade from ONE MAN ALONE.
Thats right, one man, two sticks, two ships and one screen.

Red Ranger tells you to learn more about the best shooter in Wikipedia and here. Where "here" is a fan made website with scoreboards, downloads etc.

Red Ranger tries to repair his Dreamcast and fails...

Super Mario Feet

You think you are good with your feet?
You think you are good with Super Mario?
Think again.

Feet power ahoy!

Warning Forever - boss rush!

2007-02-13T14:22:00.000Z

Rangers need to target practice.
A Red Ranger needs to keep his reflexes sharp to catch those popcorns!
I feell the need... the need for... SHMUPS!

Yeah baby YEAH! - Warning Forever - rules! I shit you not! Warning Forever is a freeware 2D shoot'em up for Windows written by Hikoza T Ohkubo and released under the name of his software house, Hikware.

You can download Warning Forever here! DO IT! NOW!
Access the Japanese website where you can find more sweet, sweet shooters here!
And some weird shit here -> han? (i said it was weird...)

Red Ranger level up!

Hot Coffe 4: The Revenge of the Hot Pixel

"Katamari" ad

2007-02-05T13:31:00.000Z

The title of this tv commercial is "Snowball" but I'd rather call it "Katamari" ad, for the obvious reasons! These guys must have spent some quality time playing the real thing ;)

Check it out, turned out really coolol, have fun:

Yellow Ranger tries to roll himself up!

GTA San Andreas bike stunt

2007-01-31T13:49:00.000Z

Check these guys out, real pros! They're taking GTA fun to the next level...

Yellow Ranger wants to play GTA once more just to prove he's not that crappy doing some of the coolest BMX moves!

Nintendo screWii...!

2007-01-30T13:16:00.000Z

Remember when I said in my last post that we're already used to get "screwii" by Nintendo around these parts! Let me prove to you guys that this is not just something that I came up with... Nintendo Wii was launched in Europe on 8th of December, just in time for Christmas! until now and let me remind you guys that we're already in February, in Portugal it's still not possible to try the "wiimote" and is umbilical bro "nunchuck", not even at stores like Toys 'r' us... and to prove it, let me show a pic (taken by the Blue Ranger while shopping ;) of the Wii section on one of the greatest stores (Fnac) here in Portugal!

Voila!

Yellow Ranger "nunchucks" his knees! (Whatever that means!? sounds cool dough ;)

At last! European PS3 launch

2007-01-27T20:02:00.000Z

After being delayed, seems like this time there's no turning back...
Sony announced (like 3 days ago!) that the PS3 will be launched in Europe on 23rd March 2007. It was about time, seems like "everyone else has had more Fun than me!" for the last couple of months...

We're already used to get "screwii" by Nintendo around these parts! let's hope this was a one-off from Sony and that won't happen again for at least the next, let's say... 60 years ;) I'm joking of course! but nobody likes to be left to the last and unfortunately it wasn't the first and it won't be the last time something like this happens, anyway, moving on...

Its kirby Gangsta!

Red Ranger out.

Xbox 360 Tilt Controller!

2007-01-19T15:40:00.000Z

What!?... yep! it's true, seems like nowadays everything imaginable can be conceivable, well more or less (where's my time machine? and my Warp 10 intergalactic spaceship!?) sometimes you're not sure if you're actually infringing some patents (btw, this reminds me of Gamasutra's article - "The Ten Most Important Video Game Patents" nowadays, everyone wants to patent something, even if it's something really ridiculous, like patenting the way you throw a brick! - you may be thinking "- that's a complete nonsense!" well, not actually... with a piece of paper explaining how you throw the brick and a little bit of blabla talk! and you may manage something out of that!) It's "amazing" (not to say another word) what people can register... Videogames are not different from the rest, there's also some "crappy" patents haunting this particular world, nothing we can do about it! Just try to go around it or as we say: "pay the man!"

Well, one thing's for sure, nobody can take Adam Thole's newest achievement away from his hands, he invested two and a half weeks of his worthy time, to came out with this fully functioning motion sensor with a 2-axis accelerometer (it's not quite like the PS3's 6 axis motion sensor, but hey! better this than nothing!). There are more details (including video demos) on his site for those looking to emulate this mod, and Adam claims that he may even hack a wireless controller for version two! and what about that!? (I'm just gonna sit and wait for the rumble feature to be implemented on the PS3 controller... did you read this Adam? ;)

Yellow Ranger compares his PS2 with the PS3 controller... and cries!

2007-01-19T14:12:00.000Z

Are you one of those people that buys "action figures"? And then never opens them and keeps them on the wall etc? Then my friend, get help.

On the other hand if you like Lego and i mean LIKE Lego and play video games, you will definitly want one of these, courtesy of the Arcade Flyer Archive

Capcom and LEGO joined forces in 1999 to bring you Strider Hiryu and some colored bricks. Awesome. Just awesome. Now, if only my Ranger salary allowed me to import such a thing.

Red Ranger looks at wallet and cries.

Micro-Gimmemoney

2007-01-17T15:43:00.000Z

So, i finally gave a run on the Xbox 360 Live thingy to try everything, and i mean EVERYTHING. I played Gears of War online, offline, online co-op, offline co-op, splitscreen and multi-shit. I tried Arcade Live's Geometry Wars, been on the ranking boards, talked trash on the microphone to other players and downloaded every piece of crap i could find.

But then something happened.
I saw something called "microsoft points" and i went "what the fuck?".
The shit had hit the fan.
I was confused, i finally started reading words and phrases and soon found out my Gold account was free until the end of the month. If i wanted more online love i would have to pay up. This was weird since i already payed for the console, the games, the internet connection and for some stupid batteries for the pad (batteries on the pad... some sort of joke) and now i will have to pay every month for this?
Plus i tried to change my account name and guess what? You pay for it sucker!

Oh well, at least i had fun while it lasted, i mean, on the PC i don't have to pay to play online, on the PS2 and PSP i never had to and on the PS3 i wont need to either, so why pay on Xbox Live?
Besides, a Ranger salary is very good but keeping our suits and spaceships working is expensive, we can't afford this type of things.

Red out

We are back.

2007-01-12T18:04:00.000Z

At least i am back. After half a year in hiding i want again to write stuff on the web for you to read. There were reasons for me to hide, plenty of them, the launch of a new console is always scary, take this example.

This is reason enough to have a blog in blank for six months isn't it? Well, i think it is and now i am back. The other two guys must still be on the forest fighting the middle bosses or something.

I am afraid.
