FNVS – Part 3 – Blue Moon for the Blue Powder Gang

Posted on October 28, 2010 by JamesInDigital

I made my way south along the remnants of the old highway towards Primm. With only my machete and a small caliber pistol, I was careful to avoid some of the wasteland inhabitants I could see in the distance, taking out only a mole-rats who wandered across the roadway.

Star Wars the Force Unleashed II isn’t in the budget right now, and I don’t know anyone who has put in the purchase yet, so I can’t comment first-hand on the game. However, I think I end up being glad that this wasn’t the pre-order purchase that I was hoping to have on my list. The collective reviews are not looking good for the game thus far. Typically I don’t form any sort of opinion … Continue reading →

Posted on October 21, 2010 by JamesInDigital

Some people have been asking how to get in-game screen shots from Fallout New Vegas for my Fallout New Vegas Stories feature without having to do a print screen and drop out into Photoshop or MS Paint and then saving them out.  It’s pretty much the same as taking shots with Fallout 3.

Sorry for being a little late with this one, things have been hectic.  Didn’t actually get to watch the episode until last night, and what a good episode it was.  Dexter dealing with the trapped woman at the killer Boyd’s home has kept him up all night, and Deb worked the Santa Muerta case as an all-nighter as well, meaning no one came for Harrison.  The baby sitter quits, although Dexter is able to get … Continue reading →

Red Jackass, Red! – Red Film Review

Posted on October 18, 2010 by JamesInDigital

I’m trying to decide whether or not Jackass 3-D making $50-million is a sign of the apocalypse, a statement about the movie-going public or a simple representation of inflated ticket prices for 3D films. Most likely it’s a combination of all three. So, grab your kids, your laptop and head to your nearest wireless capable fall-out shelter, and have a looksie at my thoughts on the film that came in second to Jackass with a … Continue reading →
