Manny Escuela – GTA IV Latin Character

Friday, April 4th, 2008

If you haven’t, head to Rock Star Games and start getting a load of all the fictional marketing on Liberty City.

The city map as expected resembles quite a lot the maps of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and New Jersey.

I found this on the Bronx like area of Liberty City, it’s some kind of Latin character called Manny Escuela, it seems they’re recording some kind of Reggaeton Music Video during the game:

So far I’ve seen videos of other ethnic mafias, such as Italian (Jersey-like side), Russian, Albanian, Jamaican and Irish.

The similarities between Liberty City and New York are amazing, this is a picture of the main character flying over the city and looking at what in real life is Queens and northern brooklyn (where I live)
See how they made a building resembling the Queens Citi tower.

The game is finally coming out at the end of this month, it looks light years ahead of anything else that’s come out for any console, can’t wait to be playing it with my friends (yes, its the first multiplayer-gta)

Playing Gears of War Split Screen on XBox Live

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

For the longest time I tried playing gears of war split screen (since like a year ago), and I was not able to intuitively try the stupid “Guest” profile that shows up when you press “Y” on the menu. I’d try having a Silver Xbox Live account join controller number 2.

Anyway, I’m just posting this as a reminder to myself for the future, hope it will serve some other people having he same problem:

1. Turn xbox + controllers on, with one of them linked to a single gold account
2.Main gears menu -> Versus -> Xbox Live Player Match
3 you will now notice, at the bottom of the screen “Y Guest Sign-in. Press Y on the 2nd controller, one not linked to xbox live
4. This will bring up a tab where you can select a sign in. Select “Guest”
5. Done, find or create your player match!

Now, does anyone know how to play Call of Duty 4, online, with split screen? I want to play with my friend at home, with other people on Xbox Live!

Justice for All en Rockband – Drums – Xbox 360 (Chupate esa mandarina Wii-Lover)

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

Aqui puse un video para demostrar que en Xbox 360 uno se puede divertir muuuucho mas que con la consola de juguete llamada Nintendo Wii. Jeje. Esto es en realidad una respuesta en video a un hilo de conversacion muy largo que llevamos en la lista de correos de wedoit4you.com sobre si el Wii es la consola gay y si es divertida o no mas alla de unos 15 minutos de gameplay.

Aqui queda prueba de que puedes simular de forma bien divertida lo que se siente tocar una cancion de metallica en la bateria, y aprendes a mejorar tu ritmica mientras pierdes unas cuantas calorias.

Video Review: Rockband – Gubatron plays the drums to Metallica

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

MyBloop.com – Upload unlimited files for free

Download this video in full quality (MPEG-4 ~ 33.2MB)

So here’s my pro’s and cons of Rockband, and why I still enjoy Guitar Hero more.

PROS:

  • The guitar is awesome, it doesn’t make as much noise as the regular Guitar controllers
  • Good Multiplayer, a lot of fun in quickplay with all songs unlocked (UI a little confusing at first though)
  • The Mic gameplay is amazing, exceeded my expectations (although I was scared for a while cause I plugged the mic and it said it wasn’t plugged, and it wasn’t until I read on the internet that I had to plug the gamepad as well…, the game should say… the mic is in but you need a gamepad dude!)
  • More people get to play

CONS

  • Songs available are not as cool as Guitar Hero, maybe cause they tried to balance the coolness between drums and guitar. The Guitar player will get bored if it’s experienced in guitar hero, most songs are just dumb chord strumming
  • They promoted the game with Welcome To The Jungle and the song isn’t there, that was dissapointing after clearing all the songs
  • When playing the Tour in multiplayer, it’s a pain in the ass to unlock more songs, and you’re forced to play the same songs over and over again, and you get bored and stick Guitar Hero III for another 2 hours
  • 2 Friends from PlayMor.com reported on their podcast their Guitars Broke, I can’t say the same yet
  • The noise of the drum’s is very annoying to even the drum player, no matter how loud you play the game you’ll still hear the TAC-TAC-TAC,
    then your neighbors will complain, and then you’ll have to play with headphones, which is the best solution so you don’t hear the damn plastic sound.
