Thecoldblade is in!

Hey guys what's up? Before I start, I would like to say that TheStranger forgot to add me to the Blog and only added me today.... after constant pestering on my part. Was he expecting me to post without adding me? Seriously man!  Anyways, I always wanted to expose TheStranger... this is what "he" really is:

OK, just kidding he's not really a Falmer... He might even be more hideous...
-__- TS)


Its winter in the southern hemisphere, which means I am really strong this time of the year... In summer, well that's another story - I put my blade in the freezer (guys u have to admit this is cool, literally).


Moving on, I will give you a website that will be quite useful to any gamer. The website is called "Gratis Juegos". You can access this website by 'Googling it... or just click here. From this website you can literally download anything you want. From games on any console to movies and premium anti-virus guards. (Just use this for test purposes and then try buying the actual game... I don't wanna encourage getting everything for free... what would Notch say?). Okay so all you have to do in this website is type the name of the game you want to download on the search bar that says "buscar"on the top right corner of the screen (its a Spanish website by the way, but the search results come in English).


Almost all the games are downloaded part by part so i really recommend that you use this application called "Jdownloader". 
What this downloader allows you to do is download a lot of files from file sharing sites without you having to click on each link and wait for the loading times. How this works is you copy all the links and paste it on the Jdownloader's download tab. All files will be downloaded automatically... this method would help a lot if you have a slow Internet connection.


Some games would be downloaded part by part which also means that you can download the game partially during a day and then continue downloading the next day.
If you have an Android or an Apple device, you can also get iPhone, iPad or Android games using this website.


I have never gotten a virus by using this website, but be sure to have a good anti-virus software installed. if you don't have one, then use this website to get one... once again i would like to mention that I don't particularly encourage downloading everything for free.
I might be reviewing Far Cry 2 next week so keep an eye out.


This is Thecoldblade, sending a chill down your spine -)>>

The review system!

Hello everybody and welcome to Strange Sundays! (Copyright reserved) nah just joking :p This is TheStranger and today is my day! But jokes aside the schedule is working great cause now there is no more confusion on who's posting what AND we post everyday. So I'm hoping you guys are enjoying it more.

Anyway back to my topic, I have made the review system and I think it will cover pretty much everything you need to know but please if you have any suggestions or anything that you like/don't let me know at the email (which will be at the end of the post) or comment. 

It is as follows :

There will be five categories, namely:

1. Story (The main plot / story-line, we all know that the story can make or break a game.)
2. Gfx (Graphics, what the game looks like, we are all looking out for the next titan that tests our hardware. )    
3. Gameplay (What the game feels like, it's nice when someone breaks the rules and creates innovation that the players enjoy.) 
4. User-friendliness (I was contemplating making this just user-interface but I think this covers a broader section. Pretty much "how easy is it to use?" PS: this includes glitches etc.)
5. Miscellaneous ("Does the game have any other redeeming qualities or liabilities?", PS: this could include if it has LAN or not.) 

That is the system, it is rated out of 50 (Each section out of 10) then multiplied by two so it gives a percentage. This should make it quite easy to see what we thought about it. How it is going to work is one (or more if it is agreed upon) person will review a game and say what (in their opinion) they thought about it. THAT person will review it but ALL of us will look at it just to make sure there is no bias, if there is, we will make some slight alterations because we all are different and some people might like a certain game more than others.


All of our reviews from now on will use this, we also haven't tried it yet so it will be subject to change.
Tomorrow Thecoldblade will be posting (I am sorry for posting that in the schedule before even introducing him :p) so keep an eye out ;) 
Like always any suggestions etc. send me a message at TheStrangerHazardous@gmail.com or comment here. 
Enjoy it :)

Borderlands LAN

Ghost signing in.
Today i am going to tell you about the most creative FPS ever made imo, Borderlands. I have only met one person who did not enjoy this game and that was due to the re-spawn timers of the enemies. The game is the most easy to set up LAN game in the world, no fixes or anything.

 The veteran bus driver, Marcus Kincaid drops you and 3 friends know as Vault Hunters in the wasteland called Pandora. Every mission from there is FUN, there are very little repetitive missions, and the ones that are get better each time. This game is like the Fallout Environment feeling mixed with Diablo RPG system. 


The problem with the game is that its so fun you might just play the whole LAN, like what me and Nightmare did.... Even after the LAN its the only game that I wanted to play, and that never happens. The MP system lets you drop in and out of the game at any time and you can even switch right back to single player.


 The most memorable experience I have about it, is when me, TheStranger, Nightmare and Titan were playing one of those missions where you just have to enter the area with full clips, kill one hugeeeeeeee monster and leave with no ammo. We were fighting Skagzilla, and with 4 people in game he is pretty damn hard. Titan who was Brick tried to punch him to death while TheStranger went invisible......I the soldier trash talked the mutated skag, and Nightmare decided to use a gun to try and kill him. 10 minutes and a couple arguments later that Skag was dead together with all his puppyies. It was the 2nd greatest feeling I've felt, right behind getting a buzz kill.

And the gun cases, ah the gun cases, opening just slow enough to keep you guessing whats inside.
That is Borderlands, if the bandits don't get you, the wildlife will.

Modding

Right so as most gamers have realised occasionally vanilla gaming (stock gaming) as it comes in the box or the download can become boring. There are only so many things you can do in a game even if it's a game like Skyrim where the quests are almost endless, they get repetitive and thats where most gamers such as myself and others here at HAZ turn to mods...


Mods are (in a brief description) when one alters game files to either add items to the game, enhance it visually or just make some changes that cannot actually be seen but just improve the feel of the game and remove known bugs.


You can get a mod for almost any game, just google it, but in my opinion the two games with the largest modding community are Skyrim and Minecraft. Of those two Minecraft has the largest community. Mods allow endless addons to your game.

 Adding cars to Skyrim :D

Adding planes to MC

The possibilities are endless... seriously just search for the mod you want and (odds are) you will get a hit, but be careful as awesome as mods are, it can lead to ruining your favourite game by making it too easy for example, Too Many Items in minecraft.

Before you use mods make sure that you understand the risks of what you are doing. Adding mods does alter your game file so it can lead to corruption of your game and this can be tricky to clean up, so back up before you do anything.

DeathStrike

What an epic night!!

I was bored. Hazardous was bored. What do gamers do when they're bor3d? They have a LAN! That's exactly what we did over the last weekend of our holidays. And it was amazing, I tell you, although we only played MC (Minecraft for the nonbelievers) once, it was one of the funniest LANs we've had because of a single game we played for over 6 hours. Supreme Comander: Forged Alliance. This game is, in my opinion, one of the best RTS games ever created, I mean, if we played it for 6 hours, it has to mean something right? It was mine and DeathStrike's first time playing so things were complicated. Really complicated to the point that we just clicked on the stuff that looked cool, we still kicked their asses at it though XD!

In other news, Hazardous will be attending the biggest LAN (I think) in the Southern Hemisphere. Yes, I'm talking about the NAG LAN at the rAge Expo this year, over 2400 gamers will be connected to the same network, shooting, knifing and killing each other for the sheer enjoyment of this glorious thing we call gaming, for 3 days straight, I dunno about the others, but I can pretty much do this with no sleep necessary, just give me a sixpack of bee- Monster, I mean and I'll be good to game. 



You could give us a comment to let us know if you'll be going or not so we know who we're shooting at...or in TheStranger's case, riotshield-bashing against. (Still pwn you either way :P. TS)
HighVoltage says GG. (Good Gaming for the n00blets)
