That guy's a Maniac...

Yes they are. Remember when everyone was all about the "yes games are art, yes they make you cry". Who ever cried at a game? The nearest I came to crying was when Richie and I were two-TV, no save, speed running Resident Evil 2 and I died at the end boss. Damn, now I'm welling up again just thinking about it. However, there is a new platform of media that makes people cry. I give you: Pokemon the first movie. Watch it and cry* like a girl unless you are so heartless. Cold and heartless heathen . *Not gay crying you understand. Fake allergy crying. We've all got them right? Right?

Sup maniacs? We were at GDC and we've had precious little blogging time so here's a brief catch up in the form of a numbered list: 1) The Guiness World Records: Gamer's Edition is now out (already reduced by 33% in many shops) and it is worth picking up in the future when it is somewhere around the £5 mark. Packed with a lot of tenuous records and inaccuracies but it's worth ignoring the blindingly obvious mistakes (Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 are not PlayStation2 games, why didn't anyone consult us?) to discover some lesser known gaming related gems. So for example, did you know that David Lynch directed the PS2 'Third Place' adverts? Or that the PSOne could connect to a number of Sony mobile phones? I don't know what they could do when they were connected but you could do it. In Japan. 2) Both myself and Richie have had our IPs banned from the Resident Evil Wiki for trying to add the articles "Jill Sammich" and "That G

You know what has been bothering me for a while? Aside from the gradual decline of our ecosystem and natural resources.... Why doesn't the 360 have a web browser? I mean its connected to the net, it has that controller addon-keyboardy-thing. surely just getting Internet Explorer (or even Opera god-forbid) on there, wouldn't be the craziest idea. 360 browser Pros: 1. Online sign ups for clans. 2. Youtube. 3. thatguys.co.uk on your 360. 4. Email with background notifications. 5. Direct links in-game to Gamer sites for 360 content. 6. Achievement points. ( Achievement Unlocked : You looked at porn 10 Gamer Points) ( Achievement Unlocked : You looked at Nintendo's website 0 Gamer points) 7. Online Rankings without going in-game. 8. Settling IMDb arguments. 9. Xbox live bandwidth could be transferred to different sites/hosts. reducing the lag on XBLA. 10. Porn. Luv n' hugs. Richie xxx

On our trails through the blogosphere we stumbled upon this site: Racoon City Times . Of course straight away we were amused to see another Resident evil themed blog. Immediately, of course, we at TGAM chuckled at the glaringly obvious typo of "Raccoon" but with only one "C". As no strangers to tyops ourselves, we decided to overlook this and check out the content. As we are a games blog we shall review this blog in a games review style. When you first start Racoon City Times there are a few things that strike you: The site is black, blatantly a rip-off of the old TGAM layout, even down to the font. The Silent hill Banner gets you confused as to what message this blogger is sending is it a resident evil site, is it a Silent hill site. And finally if you are going to use an obscure off-topic banner, at least try to make it fit the rest of your blog. The Racoon City Times name conjures up images of a news report site from with in Resident evil, perhaps even a them

Today marks an important day in the world of bloggers, Today TGAM and UK:R * have found a jpg which we could both Fap-off to, a common ground to spill our seed on. Resident Evil meets Sonic! *For those of you who dont know, UK:R is a lesser known video games blog, they are like us, but not quite as funny, and rather than being obsessed with Resident evil, they are obsessed with Sonic (ghey). Luv n Hugs, Richie XX

Yay! A resident evil post. Been a while... This time annoyingly its a non-canon film related post. This Monday marks the release of the third resident evil movie. In celebration of this, the UK website has a competition where you train up your Zombie in anticipation of "Alice" charging in and killing all the Zombies, the last one standing will win home theatre kits and copies of the movie on DVD and BluRay. There are 2 things you can do to train your Zombie: 1. Feed - increases your strength. 2. Keep Fit - increases your agility. Though one does counter the other, if you feed, your agility goes down, and if you keep fit, you Strength goes down, so in theory a balanced Zombie will have 50% Strength and 50% Agility. I have no idea what the most beneficial stats would be. in anycase Monday 9 am Alice gets let loose. Good luck and Laters. Richie xxx

Yes it is. Five points if you can get the reference.
