Help Keep Me Alive!

2010-02-16T10:42:00.000-08:00

Alright guys. My PC is sorted out and now I will update the blog every day.

Now, for this.

Guys and gals, I do this in my spare time. I receive no payment for all of my studd that I buy and has to be bought every year. It really is economically challenging. I am asking that some of you be generous and donate to me. I don't care how much or how little, anything helps!

It will go toward these things:

*Yearly editing software
*Capturing hardware
*Payments for future games to review

And much more. In addition, if enough people donate, I'll start a server for games liek Team Fortress 2.

Everyone, please help out! This will increase my productivity tenfold!

Thanks everyone!

Why Call of Duty Needs to Die: Part 1: A History

2009-05-07T18:23:00.000-07:00

This is the first in a series of posts of why the series we've all come to know and love, Call of Duty, must die.

Please note Infinity Ward is creating their own series that is the successor to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (appropriately named Modern Warfare). It is an independent series, until the inevitible hijack by Activision.

Call of Duty is a series that has stood the test of time. It's been on the PC for over 5 years and is still a successful series. It's the textbook definition of an FPS. Started by Infinity Ward, it was created by a branch of people who worked at EA during production of the original Medal of Honor. Some of the team branched off to create their own game, which resulted in Infinity Ward being formed and the original Call of Duty coming into creation. And from this, another team branched off to create Gearbox Software (Brothers In Arms).

Now, the original Call of Duty was sold on the line that has made Call of Duty what it is today: cinematic intensity. It brought us closer to the visceral actiuon of combat than ever before. It was amazing for the time.

Here's where we cut into modern history. For an expansion pack titled United Offensive, a new company named Treyarch entered the field to create this. Viewed as the best add-on to Call of Duty to date, it added vehicles into multiplayer and an additional campaign. The original PC Call of Duty had alot going for it.

Tune in next week for a look at Call of Duty 2, a milestone in the series, and then the dramatic fall and rise of the series since.

Great Find

2009-04-06T17:20:00.000-07:00

Hey guys. Not much to report today.

I was googling music for future videos, and stumbled on, quite possibly, the greatest music collection of all time.

http://www.imeem.com/people/lGzWPN/playlist/Od2Ojmbf/epic-music-music-playlist/

It has over 100 of the most epic music songs ever created: from Beethoven to Metal Gear.

I suggest checking it out.

On Vocation...Somewhat

2009-03-21T16:04:00.000-07:00

Once again, sorry for the lack of posts. Been very busy lately. As Summer gets closer, I'll post more.

Good news, people of the world wide web! I've gotten my beta key to the Battlefield Heroes Beta! Thanks again to my good friend and loyal YouTube subscriber, Erghantar :D I'll be occipied with it on weekends for a while. I'd love to tell you about how it is, but it's still under NDA.

I can tell you that it's one of the funnest games I've ever played. Why? Because it's about FUN. Not hardcore shooting and weaponry, extreme gore, and too much cussing. It's about having a good time, being open to everyone, and working together to create that unique Battlefield experience.

Until next time, folks!

LOTR: Conquest Review Canceled!

2009-02-06T07:40:00.001-08:00

I've decided to cancel my LOTR: Conquest review. I've not had enough time, and parts of it got deleted. I've just decided to have a written review. That will follow soon.

So be prepared, I'll be updating with up-to-date news, and things about exterminat in general!

I'm Still Here...No, Over HERE! Ugh.

2008-12-22T15:14:00.001-08:00

Yes, I'm still here.

I'm very busy, but you know the routine. Over the next two weeks I should be on more.

Well, my Merry Christmas video is up!

Have a good Christmas!

Make sure you check my YouTube frequently. I check it every day and it's the best way to get in contact with me if you need.

For those wondering, I am indeed working on trying to create a good Halo 3 Machinima. Elites vs. Spartans...just never happened. It wasn't a technical problem, we just had a major member of the cast move from his house and now can rarely access Live. We just decided to scrap the project. Maybe we will go back to it in the future. But, for now, consider it gone.

I am exploring my options. I'm writing stories that come to mine. I'm currently working on one dubbed 'Forgotten.' Expect it, if I can get it to work, sometime in Q1 2009.

I also am considering making a sequel to my first great machinima, CSI: Resistance. I still view that as one of my best videos. The only thing holding me back is the fact that Resistance 2 doesn't have a spectator mode like R: Fom. Hopefully this will get patched in EVENTUALLY. I'm counting on it. Expect that to be made EVENTUALLY. Whether Insomniac releases this feature or not determines if it will suck or not. Let's hope for the latter.

Oh, and one last thing: I do have a MySpace. Feel free to add me:

KEEP IT CLEAN!

2008-11-06T17:53:00.000-08:00

Sorry guys, but I don't have much time to update the update the old blog anymore.

Well, I just uploaded my Resistance 2 Review on YouTube. Name is exterminatthewise. Oh, and don't forget: the second coming of Jesus (aka Gears of War 2) is tomorrow. Don't forget to partake in the amazingness :)

2008-08-26T04:42:00.000-07:00

Hey all. Sorry for not updating regularly, but expect at least a few a month.

Well, Mercenareis 2 is coming out Sunday, and then the public beta of Socom: Confrontation starts Monday, Labor Day, in which I have no school. So unless you have Mercs 2, please don't try to play with me as I will be bilding a fort around me and building up the defenses for two non-stop days of gaming.

See y'all online Monday!

2008-08-03T21:05:00.000-07:00

2008-07-31T20:25:00.000-07:00

Hey all.

I've been away for a while, and I'm damn ashamed of it. I will now start posting again regularly.

Well, I've accomplished alot in the few months I've been gone. I've purchased a capture card, made video reviews that are highly praised, started several Halo 3 machinimas, and just today, received the RRoD!

In close, I'm back.

Sorry! Again!

2008-05-08T04:57:00.000-07:00

I have had so much school work in the past few weeks. I get out next week, so I will be able to update the blog nearly ever day.

Well, GTA IV is out, and I'll have my video review sometime in the next few days. On another topic, Gears of War 2 gameplay on Gametrailers TV Friday!

6 Days and Remorse!

2008-04-23T14:33:00.000-07:00

6 days until GTA IV. I would advise you to ignore any and all GTA IV intro/gameplay videos. Please. Save yourself :(

I am extremely sorry for not posting. I have had lots of school work, and will keep you updated until GTA IV comes out. Then I will disappear for a while until summer, and I will be here daily :D

19 Days and New Video!

2008-04-10T04:49:00.000-07:00

I made an analyzation of the new Gears of war 2 scans. Youtube is being gay to me, but I'll post it whenever it decides to drop the act :)

Resistance 2 Trailer Friday!

2008-04-08T04:43:00.000-07:00

Emergency post: a Resistance 2 trailer will come out this Friday! Look for it first on Gametrailers TV at midnight on Spike TV this Friday. Then, you will see it on the interwebs later. I believe this is manditory:

2008-03-31T14:01:00.000-07:00

Sorry for being away...I've been deep in development on new videos (and playing Vegas 2). My newest video is up:

It's called a Screedio...a music video, but with screenshots. This is a new idea I am testing out. If it goes well, I'll make more. If not so, I'll stop it. I'm testing new ideas right now.

In other news...yes, another countdown...this time much bigger. 29 days until GTA IV! More on that later.

Finally, the TLM clan for Vegas 2 is now up and waiting for tryouts! Message me on Live if you'd like to try out. Tag is TLM exterminat.

Today is the Day...or Maybe Tomorrow.

Today is the day...well, technically tomorrow is the day that RB6V2 will be out. Once it come sout, I'll have a review.

Sorry for the recent shortage of news and posts, been really busy lately.

1 Day...or is it?

2008-03-17T17:45:00.000-07:00

Tomrrow Rainbow Six Vegas 2 will arrive! Sadly, it only ships tomorrow. If you get it tomorrow, you honestly can kill yourself as I won't get it until Wednesday...:(

The Top 10 Best Music in Games is coming along greatly. The final edits are being done as we speak...or type. The final list (in random order)

* Gears of War 'Mad World'

* Portal 'Still Alive'

* Halo Series

* Kingdom Hearts Series

* Marios Bros NES Version

* Dynasty Warriors Series

* Medal of Honor Series

* Call of Duty Series

* Final Fantasy VII 'One Winged Angel'

* Legend of Zelda Series 'Gerudo Valley Theme'

These are subject to change, but very unlikely.

5 Days and BioShock 2 CONFIRMED!

2008-03-12T17:11:00.000-07:00

I have to do this one in advance since I probably won't be on tomorrow.

5 days. I am jumping up and down in my seat!

Now, most of you have played BioShock and beaten it. It has the single greatest story ever told. On March 12, 2008, BioShock 2 was confirmed.

'Take-Two Interactive announced today that BioShock 2 was officially in the works, under the development wing of the recently formed 2K Marin studio. The sequel—rumored to actually be a prequel—to the Xbox 360 and PC shooter is planned for a fourth-quarter fiscal 2009 release date.'

Here's the link for those who won't believe me:

I made my own announcement trailer to celebrate:

6 Days and SSBB Montage!

2008-03-12T04:48:00.001-07:00

6 days. I honestly am speechless. Seriously, I have nothing left to say.

Sorry I haven't been able to update every day. It's been a busy week.

Well, here's an excellent Super Smash Brothers Brawl Montage I made:

8 Days and More Video Updates!

2008-03-10T14:04:00.000-07:00

8 d4ys. 13374p34k 15 4w350m3!

I have bad news: due to our laptop needing to get fixed, The Top 10 Best Music in Games will be delayed a few weeks. :'(

9 Days and Army of Two (yes, more)!

2008-03-09T11:50:00.000-07:00

I just beat Army of Two on Contractor. I'm going to finish the game on Recruit, then start co-oping Professional mode. If you'd like to co-op professional with me, message me on Live.

10 Days and Progress Report!

2008-03-08T18:10:00.000-08:00

10 days. w00teth.

Alright people, progress report time!

*Top 10 Best Music in Games - in the finishing process. 'Twill be up in approximately one week.

*Second Army of Two Montage - in the planning stages.

*Halo 3 Machinimas - several on the drawing board, still under debate as to when to start.

*SPARTANS OF THE CARRIBBEAN - I capatilized it because alot of you wanted to see this happen several months ago when I initially announced it. I said it would be made in January. Well...nope. I put it on hold until I get my capture card this summer. Something this good does not deverve to be brought down due to the shitty quality of a camera. It basically will be a spoof movie of all the greatest moments of the Pirates of the Carribbean movies.

Stay tuned!

2008-03-07T05:36:00.000-08:00

Before you watch this review, I just want to say that Army of Two is amazing. The co-op is as good as or even better than Gears of War. Sure, the story isn't that great. But the game has amazing graphics, fun multiplayer, and an amazing co-op experience like no other.
