The Five Games that have Consumed the Most of my Life (According to X-Fire)
by Zypher on Nov.10, 2009, under Games, Reviews
We’ve all had that occasional weekend spree, ya know the kind. It’s raining/snowing outside, you’ve just managed to get a copy of that new game, and there’s nothing at all on TV. In a situation like that it’s more than acceptable to rack up 24hrs in a weekend, hell it’s respectable.
But then there’s the games, the true time vampires of the video game world, which suck the very soul from you when your away from them. This is a list of those very games, the very games which have, according to my x fire profile, leeched the most moments from my life.
5. Fallout 3
Honestly I’m surprised to see this game is only number 5. I feel I’ve lived vicariously in the shoes of the wasteland wanderer more even than I’ve lived my own life… Albeit that’s impossible, but you get the picture. With all there is to do and see in this game, it’s hard for me to put it down Once I start playing.
Volpin Props: Fallout 3 AER9 Laser Rifle

Volpin Props: Fallout 3 AER9 Laser Rifle.
Not to be confined into making large scale autonomous killing machines, Volpin Props designer Harrison Krix knocked out yet another awesome post in September. This one, well… It blows me away. An almost perfect replica of the Fallout 3 Laser rifle.
Now I only say “almost” perfect, because honestly… It’s better than perfect. He didn’t have enough detailed specs to design the prop and thus had to actually improvise a lot of the design elements. The results speak for themselves.
Keep it up man. I wish you had some free time on your hands so you could squeeze in a project for me. I could really use a scale model of the Rocket Launcher from UT3.

Volpin Props: Big Daddy (Bioshock)

Volpin Props: Big Daddy (Bioshock).
Harrison Krix posted two awesome projects back in september, the first and larger of the two, by far, is this Big Daddy costume. Accompanied by his “Little Sister” AKA his fiancee, Harrison donned this mammoth prop and strutted his stuff.
Kudos to Volpin Props for outdoing themselves yet again.

Tech Work/Out-Sourcing
by Zypher on Nov.09, 2009, under Everything
Don’t worry Loyal Listeners, in NO way do I intend to out-source this site. Well not in the common sense. Rather, I’m simply looking for some back-up to help me provide you with all of the cutting edge gaming news, reviews, and previews you crave. Plus, with a possible change in content on the way *cough* Podcast *cough*, we’re gonna need all the help we can get. So if you know any gamers with a knack for writing, send’em this way. Applications are to be sent to TimOtto@progaminglife.com.
Also, I’m still working on implementing all the old tech back into the new layout so don’t be surprised to see some major changes in the next few days/weeks.

Have a PS3 and want to take it on the road with you? Well, I don’t suggest it but, Ben Heck has got you covered.
By removing the original PS3 internals and stuffing them, plus a screen, speakers, and more into a newly made plastic body, you no longer have to be without your precious HD Frag Fests.

Mass Effect on Steam
by Zypher on Nov.06, 2009, under Deals and Steals
Mass Effect on Steam is 50% of for Steam’s Weekend Deal. Personally I have NO experience with this game, so I’m hard pressed to offer any advice. The steam forum for the game however seems to be thrilled by the sale and saying that it’s well worth the $9.99 price tag it temporarily totes. Ultimately my advice is to pounce if you’ve been waiting or just have nothing else to play, otherwise save up for one of the other great games that’s come out recently.
Edit: Got around to playing it this morning… Kinda like a halo/rpg hybrid. Ultimately I would say pass on this one, the interface is just to hectic.

Modern Warfare 2 Banned at ProGamingLife.com
by Zypher on Nov.06, 2009, under Everything, Reviews
Hey Loyal listeners,
There’s a big problem that cropped up during our down time, and plenty of people have asked my stance on the issue, so I’m gonna do my best to clear the air.
DO NOT buy Call of Duty: Modern Warefare 2. The game is the bane of computer games. It is as though god himself set a hit-man upon our beloved gaming rigs and we, as consumers, must confront and correct his path.
