    Just posted somerhing about the game, price drop... http://bit.ly/hiQFLX Not good, no?

    For those who are curious, Josh Olin, Treyarch's Community Manager was asked about Frostbite 2. http://bit.ly/hQtAqn Bonus points that Daniel Matros, DICE CM, also commented as well. Blasphemy I say!

    Holy shit those character animations are really adding a whole new level to the immersion that I never would have guessed. I'm guessing MP info will be out by E3? I want MP INFO NAO!

    Honestly? Not much. I'm hopeful and thankful my EIC doesn't know about this site...I think. I can do whatever with the layout but the system we use pretty much relegates it to what I just did. Distribution-wise, I tried to have the next part up next week or have it in chunks for easier reading, but no dice. Actually amazes me that "fluff" pieces I post garner way more hits than original content. I asked the other contributors and they say it's the same with them. One of 'em interviewed Uematsu. Final Fantasy music legend and it barely scraped over a 1000 hits! Fuck it! From my understanding, everything I write on the site is exclusive to them for 6 months before I can post it somewhere else. I actually told the other contributors that I'm already dreading that my Jaffe interview will be bypassed for the latest console, etc. argument post. Kinda disheartening to be honest. I mean doing original content. Mostly doing it for a few fans and for myself. Hopefully, that's not always the case. Otherwise I'd stop doing articles and just post random Call of Duty crap everytime.

    Ok. Just tried the PS3 demo. Only got to connect to one friggin' game for 20 minutes. Anyone else still experiencing this?
  6. excaliburps
    Did not see your post. If only I was editor, dean. If only...

    I honestly am super stoked for this game. This, along with BF3 should satiate my shooter fix. From customization to new game mechanics, it's also a class-based shooter that doesn't concentrate on the usual fragging.

    Haha! Was that true? So, TAY friends, what's up with Homefront? MP any good? I just found out there is no bullet penetration of any kind. Even on leaves! WTF? Shouldn't we have progressed enough that penetration should at least be standard? Really torn between this and Crysis 2.

    Second part of my US military interview is now up! http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/84753/exclusive-interview-with-off-duty-gamers-part-two/ For those concerned, it's way easier reading than the first one. Cheers and I hope you guys enjoy it.
  10. excaliburps
    Yeah. It's a blessing and a curse. It sadly wasn't as well-viewed as I hoped. Although I might plug it this coming weekend. I think the piece was a tad too long and people didn't want to read that much. Good thing part 2 is way shorter and asks the good questions like "which FPS game is the most realistic?" or something to that effect. Kinda odd not seeing anyone reply to it here. Was expecting a few people to rip me to shreds or something. I actually edited a lot more questions out. It would have made the interview way longer. Was thinking of doing it in segments. say 4 parts? Would have been better, but it's the editor's call. Yeah. Know what you mean. They really do know their stuff.
  11. excaliburps
    Hey! Interview is now up! http://bit.ly/fWcjJd It's a bit long but it's cohesive enough and it's nowhere near Tim Rogers long. So, hopefully you guys read it and tell me what you think. Part two will be up this week as well. It's lighter reading and I think most people would appreciate it more. Feedback is appreciated, but please keep the flames to a minimum.
  12. excaliburps
    Haha! I highly, highly doubt that. What do you mean by TAY newsfeed? For someone who's into videogames I have no idea what that is or how it works. One of the articles I wrote was apparently linked by someone from Destructoid. At least that's what a commenter from Kotaku told me.
  13. excaliburps
    @dean Thanks a lot, man! That really helps a lot! I actually haven't contacted Jaffe yet. Been so very busy posting news. Have to edit the military interview a bit as well. Will email him this week and ask when's the best time to do it though.
  14. excaliburps
    Welcome everyone! I'm loving it that more and more people seem to be coming here. And yes. Most of us know who you guys are. I know this sounds tedious but the thing I miss about not going to Kotaku anymore is the community. The commenters made the bland posts, usual PR releases, etc. Much more bearable. I might comment there from time to time but I doubt it's going to be anywhere near prolific as before.
  15. excaliburps
    Hey! Yeah. I think there is! I might use Skype to call him. I'll email him once I get all my questions checked and raring to go. That way if he gives me a schedule I'll be ready. So, anyone here with any more insightful questions?
  16. excaliburps
    I wouldn't worry about it too much. The devs had said that more players doesn't automatically equal=more fun. I'll wait and see first before I pass judgment. But to be honest, it could be BC2 with better graphics, new maps, new kits, etc. And I'd still get it. BC2 is still my fave MP game this gen. Only concern is the player count and how it will translate to the maps. For the rest of the things? I'm kinda optimistic DICE can pull it off.
  17. excaliburps
    What? Damn! Ah, well. Doubt they'd take the time to check it anyway. I also won't post anything that will instigate flaming. Just to be safe. What do you think of the site so far?
  18. excaliburps
    Haha! Thanks! To be honest, I'm kinda nervous because he's one of the biggest celebrity devs out there, but at the same time I also don't want people (You guys. readers. my editor) to say "You asked that?" Or felt I was either too aggressive, or too passive. Or that I keep asking non-gaming related questions. In short, looking stupid. Oh, anyone here who knows how to record a conversation over the phone or Skype? Assuming he doesn't say yes to an email interview.
  19. excaliburps
    You have anything specific about his clash with press? That would be a good subject to touch upon. Also, you don't follow him on Twitter? Nah. He doesn't tweet that much. If he does, it's mostly game related so it's all good. Id' say he's loving twitter. He even does some quick, focus testing there. Just for random, small stuff.
  20. excaliburps
    Keep the questions coming! Most definitely going to be able to use some of the ones here. @excel excel: I will definitely ask that. Was wondering about that myself. Ok, minor glitch. Got a response and he said he thinks a phone interview would be easier. Fuck! Thought it was email. Problem is I'm in Asia, no idea how to record whatever it is we'll talk about. Can I record it if I use AIM, Skype or Yahoo Messenger? Anyone know how? Or I'll try and ask him if email works. Thanks for the support and acknowledgments, guys. Keep the questions coming. I do have a few I've thought of already but it's always good to hear what other people have in mind. Almost always they think of something you didn't even consider. Also, I'm nervous as a freshman in prom!

    Hey! Very sorry to start another topic but I think this warrants its own thread. David FUCKING Jaffe agreed to be interview by me! Holy shit. Would never have guessed he'd say yes. He shot me an email. Only thing off-limits are: - No TM questions as he's not allowed to divulge anything. Sony is the one who has that authority. - No "how did you get started in the biz?" "Why did you leave Sony" etc. Basically, questions that are a bit bland and he's answered a million times before. So, if you have good questions to ask, now's the time to have them answered! It would also be a good sounding board for me to talk to you guys about it a bit. Oh, and he also said it's ok to talk about other geeky stuff aside from videogames. Very happy and quite nervous when I think about it. *Dean, can this be under Gaming General Discussion? So more people can see and contribute to it? If not, it's alright.

    Actually you're not anonymous. It's just that no one probably checked but might be best to nip it in the bud before anyone notices . If you follow your profile link on the article, it takes us to the staff page which basically has your name and two links. Your name links to excaliburps and your posts link to the stuff you've posted. Just saying if someone wanted to connect the two it's not that difficult . Huh? What? I tried it and doesn't direct me to the things I posted. Maybe because I'm logged in? Damn! Good thing I haven't commented anything bad or something. Thanks for the heads-up!
  23. excaliburps
    Haha! If only I could! I'm sorely tempted to! But I think the EIC might reprimand me for trolling the people or something. If only I were Plunkett... @MaliciousH Some of the commenters there are also um...Not that good. To put it lightly. Not saying he is, but there's always a tool or a troll whenever comment sections are around. Which reminds me, any of you ever registered or commented there before? Just asking.
  24. excaliburps
    Just wanted to add this http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/84412/new-game-engine-counter-productive-says-infinity-ward/ Robert Bowling's reaction to CoD fans seeing BF3 and wanting a new engine for CoD... Please stop me before I post anything snarky in the comments section! I'm serious here. Too many jokes about 2005 tech, CoD fans wanting something new and Bowling's reaction. Dear god! I might get reprimanded if I start posting shit up and rile the people that's commenting.
  25. excaliburps
    I so wanted to say something like that. If only! Oh, thanks! Nah. I don't do so good. Sucks when an editor finds a ton of things with what you wrote. Learning process I guess.
