From Hollywood...

It's BAGSIE TIME!
with your very special host...
RuutAckses!

Yes, it's Bagsie Time again, gentlemen, another evening of pampering, playing and pigging out!

And with us tonight we have AndyBeta (alright?), K 0 0 k 1 3 (HELLOOOO!!!), and Munchk, welcome back. ;)

This time round is probably our last 'Fi Club on '09, so in round 1, we'll be asking you to tell us your GOTY '09.

Over to you...

Fiday 13th Bagsy

Due to Mrs Beta gahn dahn Tiger Tiger innit, I won't be able to leave the house on Friday 13th, therefore I'm getting in an early bagsy on this one.

I've done a couple recently, so if anyone feels really left out, feel free to override me, but I won't be able to come if you do.

Not sure what we'll do. Maybe another demo fest like the last one, which worked quite well. Maybe there'll be a Modern Warfare 2 disk knocking around, although we're too early for L4D2 or SMBWii unfortunately.

Any request for rentals - let me know, so I can organise it earlier in the week.

Holy Pieces Of Eight, Batman!

HeHeHe...

I wonder how though?

Buh-Buh-Buh-BAGSY

Late, I know, but we all know about it anyway.

Fi Club this week will be at my house - the beta 'bode.

Splosion Man, Worms, Fat Princess (demo), Grid, Donuts, Pizza, Beer.

Go on, you know you want to.

Just a quicky

Some quick links from this week.

First up Scribblenauts (DS) gets a UK release date of 25 September. I can see a Fi Club revolving around that alone.

Joystiq have a neat video of a fan-made Portal tribute for iPhone. Looks real, and real nice.



Eurogamer reports that Bioshock2 has been delayed until 2010.

More Fallout 3 DLC. Mothership Zeta. Looks like you actually get off-planet from the screenies. I still hear incidental music on TV and get a F3 flashback. I need to catch up with this DLC.

Another video caught my eye this week is Shadow Planet's "Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet." PC-only at the moment, but mooted for an XBLA release too... this looks awesome. Watch the HD version.

Baggsie...Old Skool stylie

This FiDay 10th.

If you fancy some old style gaming, ie: pre PS3, you know where to be.
Not sure what we'll play.
Let me know if you fancy this, or not.

And maybe we'll give one of our number the bumps, or something!

;)

Sweet !

Anyone fancy a SNES ?

The Last Guardian

You might've seen the Last Guardian trailer on the E3 feeds, but I just found it.



Given the pathos of the first two games, I'm not sure I can face what might come at the end of something as cute and compelling as that seems. As per Penny Arcade today.

Surfs Up, Dudes!

June 11th

Greedy!

Does anyone mind if I bagsy the next Fi on 15th May? Wifebeta is going out that night, so I need to watch the childbetas.

If not, that's cool, I'll remote in.

While my guitar gently weeps...

(...when it hears me sing!)

This FiDay 1st May, treat yourself to an unforgetable experience!

No matter how hard you try!

Shock and Awe, that's what you'll be feeling when you hear my rendition of System of a Down's B.Y.O.B. ;)

"Game experience may differ from individual to individual"

This time, I wont forget the game discs!!

Please bring a 360 pad as well.

This is my bagsy

This is my bagsy. There are many like it but this one is mine. My bagsy is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my bagsy is useless. Without my bagsy I am useless. I must 'fi my bagsy true. Before FSM I swear this creed: my bagsy is next Friday, 17th April. So be it, until there is no more pizza. Amen.

Streaming Game Service

At GDC, a hitherto unknown start-up made an extraordinary claim: They have the technology to stream video games, on demand, to your PC, Mac or TV. I'm not talking about downloading the game when you want to play it, like an ethereal version of Steam, but actually getting the game graphics and sounds streamed to your device.

Yep, I know what you're thinking, because I laughed too. But check out the list of publishers behind this plan.

So far ten publishers have signed up to provide titles for OnLive. They include familiar names like Atari Interactive, Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, Take-Two Interactive Software and Warner Bros.

Now think about it. That's when I stopped laughing. If this works, it's going to change everything in the home gaming environment. It still feels like a pretty big IF. Rendering and streaming full HD video and gathering numerous split-second responses back must be a tall order.

Supposedly launching later this year, I'll be very interested to see what comes of this. It could be the end of that noisy, fragile dust magnet under your telly.

The Watchmen Cometh...

March 6th is the UK premiere of Watchmen. 

I am proposing that Fi Club goes mobile, and makes a small visit to Gunwharf cinema, followed by a meal/drink (curry maybe)?

I will be buying the tickets on release, just confirm that you want to go...

Oh Damn!

Not sure how many of you played God of War on the PS2, but check out the trailer for GoW3 for PS3.

http://www.joystiq.com/2009/02/13/feast-your-eyes-on-the-titan-ic-new-god-of-war-iii-trailer/

GoW meets Shadow of the Colossus!

And me without a PS3!

Oh Damn!

This Fi' we Fi'ght!

OK, anyone fancy Feb 20th, my gaff, for some fun n' games?
There's GHWT and RB2, other stuff and I'll try to rent Street Fighter IV.
Should be worth a play.

Sorry though, NO LBP!

Thoughts?

Flower Coming to PSN February 12th

Ahhh, one of my most wanted games is coming.

Play as a zephyr in a meadow. Too cool. This is supposed to be the ultimate chill out game, and I can see it being a real time killer.

I want it now.

First of 2009!

the munchk’s cordially invite you to the first Fi of the year, 23 rd of Jan, @ Munchks Pimp palace. 

 

I thought we could mix the format up a little and go for pizza, snacks and games. Oh no, wait….

This sucks. This really sucks.

A couple of great insights into the planning and hard work that went into L4D. The second article about lighting is really cool.
