So, MGS: Risings' release date. [Shortblog]

My Advice for Sony

Long time no blog Dtoid. It's been nearly a month now since I last blogged as I've just been lazy and playing games, as well as having nothing that sparked my mind into creating something. I'm not sure how to start this so I'll just delve r...

 
 
 

Sony Patents Objects [Shortblog]

Wow, feels like it's been a long time since I blogged, and it's only been two weeks and two days. Playing games, replying to people on here and finishing off college has been a big time eater, but well worth it. So onto the topic, which I'...

 
 
 

Shoop or no shoop? [Shortblog]

Whad'ya think ladies and gentleman? Shopped or not shopped? (Edit: I'm actually finding it hard to find these two pictures of the actors on the internets, also, not hotlinked anymore) Even though they may not be the best suited acted fo...

 
 
 

Why I should start collecting....

VIDYA GAMEZ!!!!!!! First off I'll say this, props to Funktastic, ChillyBilly and everybody else who collects or religiously collects games. One day I will (hopefully) be like you; gods of memorabilia. Now in England, where I live anyway, ...

 
 
 

Why Killzone 2 has changed a lot

in the last 1-3 weeks. The reason being is because of updates. For those not in the loop what happened is; 1) the Air Support was made "better" by improving how much damage it did. 2) the Assault class was made weaker Now by all means th...

To save or not to save?

So it's nearly 4am, I should be working, and I'm playing my beloved Commander Keen 4: Secrets of the Oracle. And as I progressed through the game I thought to myself; Where do you draw the line on saving? As people who have played Command...

 
 
 

First off is Music, but not what you'd expect. After looking at Kojima's Teaser site for the umpteenth time to decipher some more stuff, I started to listen to some music in Winamp like I do everyday. But I forgot to close down the website...

Hey :] Call me Zippy :]

I have been told I'm an odd fellow, which is nice :) Loving Dtoid, been here for nearly a year now and I'm so glad I found a real community :D I feel more welcomed here than I have anywhere else.

I love all games new and old hence why I still have and play on my Spectrum, SNES, N64, PS1,2, Gameboy and more. I also have the rest of the N64/SNES games that I don't have in Physical form in Emulation form. I play PC a lot too. Check out Mame32 for a lot of classic very old arcade games.

On PC I mainly play TF2, GTA and L4D1/2. On PS3 I mainly play Killzone 2, Street Fighter 4, Mirrors Edge, Little Big Planet and a load more. Plus a lot of mini games, I play those a lot too.

I've currently just finished studying a BTEC in Game, Art and Media Design and now enjoying my holiday.

What I am playing at the moment (Steam ID: The_End21 or |LZ| Zippy):
Team Fortress 2, Worms: Reloaded

PSN: Gladiator_21

What I am reading at the moment:
Bill Hicks: Love All The People (a foreword)

What I am watching at the moment:
A lot of films.

What I am listening to at the moment:
Shpongle, The Knife and Felt.
