The List

If you have played many games and just start wearin gamer t-shirts and sporting some really neato pocket protectors and start slingin around that you are a gamer then you are a poseur my friend! So to help you not be backhanded for being a poseur in the future and prevent you from glamorizing retarded "omg meltfaces pokemon League" MLG I have compiled a list of games that you are REQUIRED to play in order to consider yourself a full fledged gamer. The age of the game does NOT matter, it is a simple foundation that shows you how games have evolved and copied each other millions of times.

Required Games:
1.) All Zelda console games.
2.) Zelda for the Phat grey GameBoy.
3.) Contra 1&2
4.) Metal Slug
5.) All Doom games for PC & the N64 version.
6.) Duke Nukem games for PC & PS
7.) Final Fantasy 1,5,7, & 8
8.) Legacy of Kain series.
9.) Tomb Raider 1 for PS
10.) Counter Strike
11.) Diablo 1,2, expo
12.) Starcraft & expo's
13.) Warcraft 2 & 3 + expo
14.) Morrowind
15.) House of the Dead
16.) Clock Tower
17.) Silent Hill 2
18.) Street Fighter 2 for SNES and NOT 360
19.) Mortal Kombat 2
20.) Killer Instinct Gold
21.) Metal Gear Solid 1 & 2
22.) Halo 1 & 2 storyline mode
23.) Fable
24.) Enclave
25.) Atleast half of the Dynasty Warrior games.
26.) Civilization 1
27.) Thief for Xbox
28.) Halflife 2

If you have played each and every one of these games for atleast a 12 hour period then you deserve some recognition for it. Dont sell this badge to any korean farmers k guy?

Old Roots & New Beginnings

So I took a long hard break at doing internet stuff's for a bit as you can see, but the plus side is I am ever so closer to moving from this stink hole of a town that I currently live in!

Anyways, when I got back I was thinking to myself gez I dont wanna get back to the daily grind of MMORPG's or get my face rolled in a FPS, which is pretty much all that is out there now a days for games that are atleast HALF decent (notice I said half). So then I thought hey I should play a somewhat oldschool style game with some roleplaying aspects, over the past couple years I have heard about this game (image to right) Shadow of the Colossus. It seemed to have a type of mystique about it that I couldnt quite put my finger on. So I picked it up at the lovely website Amazon.com, did I mention that I am strongly against buying any game from EBGames (Gamestop)? Yea thats a whole other story I will save for another blog.

This game has to be one of the most unique games I have played, it feels so familiar because it uses a lot of the elements in some of my favorite games but is completely in its own field. Basically it's Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask on acid. Lets say that instead of saving the princess from ganon or destroying a mask that you just get boned at every turn and get no gratification for it but you think afterward... WOW lets go kill babies again! :D

Anyway yea if you havent played that game its definitely a "Required Game to be labeled as a True Gamer."

So there I was on this ghetto rigged horse that cant tell directions worth a crap, I mean this thing seriously has nothing on Epona. Riding around for a bit until WAHZAM big ass pen0r flying in the sky with wings and diving in the sand of a desert wrapped around my whole being until I jumped ontop of it and stabbed the shit outta it!!!!!! <---- If that sounds pretty wicked tripped out awesome then thats even more backing for a GET TEH DAMN GAME.
