Epic Game Night of Fail…. Two…. the Bloodening.

I found this image by googling fffuuuuuuuuuuu, which is also one of the phrases people have used to find our site. Who would've thunk it?

Okay, I rarely rant (don’t laugh). What the fuck is with tonight?

Every freaking game Matty and I try to play just will not work. And it’s a fairly even distribution of whose machine is the cause of lack of gameplay.

Matty came around after a bit of site work, and we hiked up to my place to play some gentlemanly games. We’ve been really keen to crack at Section 8 Beta, so we can review it… And a bit of DoW2. My xbox is still at his place (until the kindly return of his RRoD’d console), so it was a pc affair (even though, my pc, is secretly a mac in disguise, now with iMoustache and everything)

1. Section 8 Beta. We (after like 5 minutes of copying the game, plus 15 minutes of installing the game, plus 1.28 minutes of unskippable movies) load up the game. And it won’t fucking play. Why? All the Australian servers are full, and then it says that I couldn’t find any. Most displeasing, Timegate Studios. Shame.
2. Dawn of War 2. Ok, so its not that long a wait, and we can boot the game. Then Matty’s new lappy won’t play it. True, he is using a rubbish machine with a poor at best video card. Funnily enough, his choppy graphics slowed my machine down as my considerate Mac tries to make it an even playing field. Then my machine crashes, in a pure emulation of a PC’s solidity. Fail, THQ. Shame.
3. Quake Live. Download the awesome plugin (3 minutes), because renowned game publishers id tell me to. Then download the game content (14 minutes, with 13 left). And its still going. Fuck you, id. Shame

The summary of the story?

Well, let me tell you.

Play fucking console games. Yeah, they have their problems from time to time, but seriously, and please listen to uncle Mark:

It’s…way… fucking… easier.
