Random Injection #1

Okay so i've decided to create a small series called "Random Injection" in which i'll pretty much place a bunch of stuff that i find funny, interesting, or even bad!

~~~~ Let's go right up to #1! ~~~~
This video is hosted on Vimeo and its a really funny story about a guy, his girlfriend, and her cousin whose spending the summer with them! Yay! Wait... What's interesting about that!? Well, the guy keeps "bumping" on her cousin! Check it for your self!


That water scene was pretty nice... Giggity.
Props to the creative minds behind this video!


~~~~ #2 - Max Payne 3 ~~~~
So, do you even know what Max Payne is? Well if you don't, shame on you! But then again, if you're not a gamer, oh well, you don't really give a damn! You can skip this one.
Now, if you are, you ought to check Max Payne! It's a PC game, a Third Person Shooter, in which you can find the outstanding feature of shooting people in slow motion! I still remember when i was in 10th grade playing Max Payne 2, it was something else i tell you.



Honestly, i don't find the trailer all that good, but hey, its a new Max Payne, and its by Rockstars so... Yeah, i'm keeping an eye on this one.

~~~~ #3 - Damn sexy hair! ~~~~~
So, as i am male, i do appreciate women (no sh*t, Sherlock) and occasionally i find pictures of women that actually do amaze me with their 'choices' in what it comes to fashion. Now one of the things i really keep an eye on is for their creativity with their hair, don't ask me why, it's sort of my thing, and the most important part, is if they are crazy enough to dye it, in a totally different way, like this one!


Look at that hair! Psicodelic!

~~~~ #4 - My childhood! Legos! ~~~~~
Remember as a kid playing legos? Well, so do i! Just saw this video of a story made in lego and oh-my-god is it awesome or what!!! (Don't you dare say "or what?")



Hell yeah! I want to play Lego now... :(

~~~~ #5 - Glass Harp Mozzart ~~~~~
No time to explain, just watch it!



Whoa, whoa, whoa! Am i right?

~~~~ #6 - A Lesson ~~~~~
The relativity theory


Need i say more?



Alright, that's it! Hope you enjoyed it :)

Gaming news sources

So, finding hard to get news about games? Well, not me!

There are three main sources which i often recur to for all my gaming news needs!

- Total Biscuit -
This guy is pretty much an English reviewer, which you can tell by his 5-o'clock-tea accent! I found him early this year, while trying to browse information about the indie game Magicka, which is pretty much a wizardry game, in which you control a, well, wizard (or is it mage?) and you kill people and yadda-yadda-yadda throw spells, peew peew, you know the drill. The interesting part was that he was joking about his own title for the video "WTF is..." and that he would probably turn it into a video series... And so he did!


So pretty much i found his voice hilarious, and i actually felt a sense of "i know stuff!" in his attitude, whatever that means, and started to keep on viewing his videos, in that very same day, and well subscribed to him on YouTube.
He does a lot videos, mostly reviews, and also interviews on game developers, at places such as Gamescom and PAX. Now the good part is that this guy is somewhat über famous in the 'internetz', or so i am lead to believe that, and thus has access to lots and lots of games, making him a good source for gaming news! On the side note, he also reads emails from fans with questions, in a segment he likes to call The MailBox. The content of this 'series', i do believe i hold the privilege to name it that, can be pretty much resumed to the latest gaming fuzz, such as the whole Diablo 3 real money auction house deal. So, from that point you can pretty much guess this guy takes coverage of pretty much a lot of PC gaming, and most importantly, really fresh stuff!

- MMOHut - 
MMOHut is a website, which has a channel on YouTube, and it's interesting because, not only do they do reviews and 15 minute walkthroughs on MMO's that you probably never heard of, but they also do a Weekly Recap video every sunday, with all the news from that week, regarding Massive Multiplayer Online games.



I cannot recall when i found it, but i can pretty much guess i was bored to death and started browsing free to play MMOs and ended up noticing that all the videos i was seeing belonged to the MMOHut user on YouTube. Now, their website is not what i call one of the good ones, but they do have one interesting feature, as they have pros and cons for every game they actually reviewed.
Despite the fact i personally don't enjoy their website, their channel on YouTube is actually quite awesome, because as i mentioned earlier, they play pretty much every MMO out there, well... Available to the US. So, if you're one of those who is always after F2P MMO, this is surely your golden egg dropping duck.

- MMORPG -
Pretty generic name, huh? Indeed, fair Watson!
MMORPG is also a website, but this one i absolutely adore. Reason? Well, not only are their forums quite loaded with good conversation, mostly gossiping about WoW's 12 million subscribers, but also a lot of link spamming to YouTube videos that just got out for game x. Now, game x represents a lot of games! In my case, i recall last year's PAX, when i was so curious about Guild Wars 2 and i wasn't sure where to get the best videos. One would assume that just typing "Guild Wars 2 PAX" in YouTube search would suffice, but no! Instead i saw a topic somewhere lying around, in MMORPG, clicked it and voila! God, the time i spent that day drooling over the gameplay videos... One day, World, one day!
Beside's all the forumish goodies, the game always has the most recent news in MMO gaming, just like MMOHut, but i just find it neater. I even have it on Google Reader, that's how much i like it!

- Reddit -
Now, if you followed up, MMOHut and MMORPG match, they both have news on MMO's, Total Biscuit has information on all the other PC games, so to match up, i also have one great source, which i honestly find it to be pretty rewarding, and that is the sub-reddits of reddit.
But, what is reddit? Well, damn you for asking! See how people say that Facebook is like the center of the universe? Well, Reddit is like the other center of the universe, where you can find pretty much everything. From trolling, memes, AMAs, so many things which are NSFL. - Okay, hold on, Ask Me Anything and Not Safe For Life.

So, just explore it. Here's how it works:
"I want to see information about Skyrim!" - www.reddit.com/r/skyrim

"I want to see information about Diablo 3!" - www.reddit.com/r/diablo3

...

Got the picture? - It works for too many things, honestly, you can find so much the other day i started exploring sub-reddits and i just quit 5 minutes in, my mind felt too overwhelmed.
