Jetpack 2 in the works!

I read this article on techcrunch.com about a young lad at the wee age of 16 years old who set out and made a game called Jetpack.  He published and distributed the game on a floppy disc.  Well now my friends, he is all grownz up!  He’s single dad now and he is finally ready to make Jetpack 2!!!!

He needs our help! He is looking to raise $40,000.  if you donate just $15 you’ll get a copy of the game when its released and some other goodies!  Help a fellow gamer out.

Send some loot his way at Kickstarter -> Project Jetpack 2 and tell em Robbiegod sent you

I’m back*

So, after moving my website to a new server and realizing that i hadnt written anything in a couple years I’m going to write something about games in my next post. For now, I will tell you this, if you come to my website and you post garbage comments, I will just delete them.

Turns out I had over 7,500 comments that were detected as spam and 500 posts that were just clever enough to get by the spam filter.  But maybe what you don’t know is that I at least scan each comment before i make it live on the site.

Do me a favor and leave my site alone, unless you really have something good to say, then be my guest and post a valuable comment, otherwise, go somewhere else.

Thanks.

Just got Borderlands for PS3

Yes sir, I just went to Best Buy near my house and purchased the new game Borderlands.  Honestly, I hadn’t even heard of it since last night. I spent a few minutes today watching videos on YouTube about the game. I also took a look at IGN (they have some funny material about this game, visit http://www.ign.com/)  and Twitter to see what the buzz was all about.  I think the average score for Borderlands was 8.8.As I sit and type this, Borderlands is installing on my Playstation 3.I’ll be back (maybe in a few days) to offer up my some opinions on Borderlands.In the meantime, if you want to get to know me better, why not follow me on Twitter?  I’m always looking to link up with other gamers playing the games that i am on. Look for me in Borderlands!

Spore Creature Creator Trial Version – PC

August 5th, I downloaded the trial version of the Spore Creature Creator.

Here is what makes this game excellent.  It’s marketing is top notch.  Instead of make a “demo” that lets you play the game for a few minutes, instead what EA has done is allowed users to begin creating creatures for the Spore universive using a handy little tool that is packed with an incredible marketing functions.  I’m impressed by Spore Creature Creator.  Basically, what Will Wright and company over at EA has done is given the Spore community the keys to the Ferrari and are letting us take it out for a spin unsupervised.

So, what do you do?  Go download the Spore Creature Creator and install it.  Its free but you don’t get to use all of the features.  You can purchase the full version of the creature creator for $9.95.

After you download it and install it.  Load it up and begin experimenting.  If you have a YouTube account you can record a movie in the creature creator program itself and then upload your video directly to YouTube without leaving the program.  It makes distributing and creating characters a snap.  If you have a YouTube, find me on YouTube under RobsGamingBlog.  Feel free to post your videos in my comments area on my blog.
