A Day to Remember – I’m Made of Wax Larry (Guitar Cover)!

So I told you guys that I would be embedding videos from my YouTube account, DistinctGuitar. Well I am still working out recording the Overlord theme song from Zelda, but I do have another previous YouTube video I would like to share with you.

This video is of me covering I’m Made of Wax Larry, What Are You Made Of? by A Day To Remember. Like my other video, I figured the majority of this song out by ear or by watching other covers on YouTube so I do not have tabs. I recorded using a Guitar Hero Mic on a Line 6 Spider IV amp. Hopefully you guys will enjoy this cover, and in the future I will put up more covers so look forward to that. But first, let me know what type of music you listen to. Do you like A Day to Remember or any other bands in that scene, or do you listen to stuff completely different? leave a comment!

And Goodbye (console) Fallout

I suppose this is much more of a hello, than a goodbye, for I sadly haven’t been playing fallout at all. So that will make this transition easier and harder. Since I haven’t been playing Fallout at all it will be refreshing to play it again, but on the other hand I have put much more time and effort into my Fallout avatars than my Skyrim avatars.

My first Avatar, Vittor:

He is completely righteous and primarily uses guns, and unarmed.

My other avatar, Scarlet:

She only does things if it benefits her, she uses energy weapons, explosives, and unarmed.

So yeah it will be hard to part with these two wasteland Juggernauts, but I’m sure I will make equally badass and awesome avatars on my PC.

What do you think about PC vs Console, fallout, or games in general? let me know in a comment!

The New iPad is so Revolutionary Apple Forgot to Name it!

Apple.com

The new Apple iPad is here… so what does this mean?

Well lets start off with talking about the new features that this iPad will be featuring. First off, the new display is over 3.1 million pixels (4 times more than in the iPad 2). This means clearer text, pictuers, videos, apps and anything else you care to load on your iPad. It also has an A5X quad-core processor, which means better, faster and more powerful. Infact the new iPad will have mroe proccessing power than the leading gaming consoles on the market (Xbox 360/PlayStation 3).

The camera is now 5 mega pixels, with improved video recording quality (1080p HD) and the camera has many features of a real digital camera such as white balance and face detection. It also comes in a 4G LTE version which will allow for fast internet connection anywhere there is service.

The Wifi only versions start at $499 for 16 gb, $599 for 32 gb and $699 for 64 gb. The 4G LTE versions start at $629 for 16 GB, $729 for 32 GB and $829 for 64 GB.

My personal opinion on the iPad is that it is very a fun product, but it is not a useful or productive product. I don’t like how it still does not support flash, and the IOS operating system lacks a lot of functionality that the normal OS (Mac Computer) has. Overall I know I will definitely not be buying this product, but thats just me.

What do you guys think about this new release in the iPad family? Will you buy it or not? Tell me why in a comment!

Goodbye (console) Skyrim!

So naturally, with the arrival of my new gaming laptop, I am switching to PC for all of my RPGs. Mostly because of the awesome mods you can get on PC. I have already installed some simple mods just to make sure I could get it to work, and I must say I’m very excited. Mods will give me endless things to do, because on my console accounts I found that I was pretty bored after I beat the main story line.

It does kind of suck that I must start from scratch, but I’m being optimistic about it, I think it will give the game completely new life for me. And besides I didn’t spend too much time on my skyrim avatars. I only have two high level ones, and one of them I used the book shelf glitch with so that account is kinda ruined. But yeah here is my main account on my Xbox, Retille.

As I said, I believe PC will give skyrim new life for me. Because I really haven’t been playing it all that much lately, so hopefully that will change.

Where do you stand on Skyrim, Console vs PC, or games in general? let me know with a comment!

The Debute of the Assassin’s Creed 3 Trailer!

So last week the cover art for Assassin’s Creed 3 was accidentally leaked on the internet, well now the first official trailer is actually up! Here it is!

If you know anything about the Assassin’s Creed series than I am sure that this trailer gave you chills! So many questions and so long to wait till we get the answers.

The first thing I noticed was how different that map layout seems. Instead of buildings scattered everywhere, this map seems to have trees that you can use to free-run. And then there is this new mysterious assassin! Who is he? What is his role in the assassin legacy. Finally the trailer ends with a quick shot of the American Revolution. Although this trailer reveals little about the actual game, it is still incredibly exciting to know that the next installment in the Assassin’s Creed series is on the way.

So what do you guys think about this new setting for Assassin’s Creed and the new assassin that seems to be replacing Ezio? Let me know in a comment!

Watch Out PC Gamers!

Because here comes Ryan! With the arrival of my new Alienware laptop I have officially moved into all mediums of gaming.

It has taken me a little while to adjust to a PC from a mac, but I think I’m learning quickly. The main games I’m looking forward to playing are RPGs and Battlefield games.

I also got an awesome mouse for my laptop. All in all I am extremely excited in the places I will go with PC gaming. It seems extremely fun.

Top 5 Zombie Killing Devices

Your in the midst of a zombie apocalypse, what kind of heat should you be packing? This list will let you know!

Image From http://www.theolivepress.es/

Number 5:

A hand grenade can be a very effective weapon (with tons of splash damage) in taking out a group of zombies at a distance. I repeat, at a distance! The obvios drawback is if your dealing with one of those more agile zombies in an up-close and personal manner, a grenade will not help in the slightest. So in conclusion, a grenade is a good weapon to have for certain situations, but not as a primary weapon.

Number 4: Flamethrower

Setting a zombie on fire is a sure fire way to kill it, and you can easily set many zombies on fire at once. The only problem is, flaming zombies. Being set on fire hardly stops a zombie in their tracks, they still run towards you while still on fire. Granted wielding a flamethrower during a zombie onslaught is probably the most manly and badass thing you could ever do, but you need some distance between you and your brain-hungry enemies.

Number 3: Chainsaw

Chainsaws are one of the more classic zombie killing machines. Being torn apart by a chainsaw definitely stops zombies in their tracks. Chainsaws also dont run out of ammo, but a chainsaw isn’t good at killing mass hordes of zombies. With only a chainsaw You would easily get overran by a mass amount of zombies.

Number 2: Shotgun

When you think of killing zombies, you think of a shotgun, and for good reasons. Shotguns tear apart zombies enough to usually kill them in one shot each. The biggest problem is the reloading aspect of a shotgun. Under the pressure of zombies attempting to eat your brains, I dont believe you will be able to reload a shotgun very quickly.

Image From http://www.callofduty.wikia.com/

Number 1: Wunderwaffe

The Wunderwaffe is the ultimate zombie killing device. By hitting one zombie with the chain lighting, mass groups of zombies and instantaneously killed. Reload time is a little lengthy, but after gaining a little breathing room with the Wunderwaffe reloading is a very doable task. 

So those are the best zombie killing weapons of all time. What weapons would you bring into undead combat? let me know in a comment!

The Long Awaited Halo 4 is Finally Here!!

dasdhfjbaskdfbasdkf!!!!! The First Look at Halo 4 Video has been released and Ohh my Gawddd!!!

 

Ok before a dive into this post I’ll just throw in a little bit of back story for anyone who does not know about Halo’s history. The first three Halo games, Halo 1, 2 and 3 were all created and developed by the company Bungie. These first three games completely revolutionized first person shooters and all video games in general, with the first release being all the way back in the year 2000. After Halo 3’s release in 2005, a new company, Ensemble Studios, contributed to the Halo legacy and released a real-time strategy game based off of the Halo series in early 2009. Later that year Bungie continued its evolution of the Halo story with the release of Halo 3: ODST. I made a blog post with my opinions on this game which you can check out here is you are interested. After this, Bungie announced with was going to release its final installment into the Halo series, Halo Reach, and that after this the rights to the game would be sold to 343 Industries.

As of Saturday, 343 Industries has uploaded a video showing what they have been working on for Halo 4 which is set to be released this holiday season. This new Halo is supposed to really focus on the backstory of the infamous Master Chief, and to bring light to certain elements of the story that you can only find in third party content outside of the actual game. They have also updated the graphics so they are up to par with 2012 gaming standards and they have made many weapon changed, including bringing back the battle rifle.

There is no real way to tell if this will be a quality game or not, as it will be 343 Industries first release of a full game all on their own. I don’t know exactly what to expect, but being a huge Halo fun I am sure I will be buying this game as soon as it comes out.

What are your guys’ thoughts on the this new Halo game and the Halo series in general? Do you think it will live up to the previous Halo games even though it won’t be released by Bungie? Let me know in a comment!

Assassin’s Creed 3 Has Some Pretty High Expectations To Live Up To

I’m not worried about the game living up to the high quality gameplay, setting, or plot, all of these I believe will be fantastic. I am talking about the main character.

Image From http://www.assassinscreed.wikia.com/

The transition from Altair Ahad (the most uncharismatic man in all of history) to Ezio Auditore (a badass charismatic italian) was incredibly well received. And who would expect otherwise? Ezio is simply awesome in every way.

Image From http://www.assassinscreed.wikia.com/

One reason I believe it will be hard for gamers to part with Ezio is because they have been through so much with him. Gamers were with Ezio from the beginning, when he was just a young man without a care in the world. They were with him when templars murdered his family, and when he was thrusted into the secret order of assassins. Gamers were with him from the begining of his assassin life all the way till the end

And now gamers must accept a completely new face to the Assassin’s Creed franchise. I do have high hopes for this new assassin, even if he does not live up to Ezio’s greatness, I’m sure he will be an excellent addition to the series.

All in all I am incredibly hyped for the new Assassin’s Creed, let me know what you think about it in a comment!

A Quick Review of the PSVita!

multiplayerblog.mtv.com

I know that the PSVita has been out for a while now, but I just recently got a chance to play it for the first time. I was at the mall when I decided to make a Game Stop trip, and the first thing I saw was when I walked through the doors was the PSVita. In fact, that is all I saw. Sony went all out on their advertising, and made it pretty much impossible to go into any gaming retail store and ignore their product.

The first thing I noticed was just how big the console is. It is not necessarily bulky, just big. I don’t think this is really a downside because it allows the device’s display to be much larger than the older handheld Playstation consoles. The next thing I saw was the second analog stick they added. I think that this is one of the biggest improvements because it allows the handheld device to be more like a real gaming controller.

The graphics were improved as well. I only played one game, Gravity Rush, but I thought that the game did a good job of showing the full potential of the PSVita. I don’t think I will actually be buying this console as I am content with holding on to my original PSP, but who knows, I might change my mind later on.

What are your opinions on the PSVita? Do you like it? Do you hate it? Let me know in a comment!
