Were Probably Back And Maybe Better Than Ever?

Hey, wow, so long time no see.
None of us have been present on here in a long time and I mean long time in internet years. Here's the typical excuse; we were busy. In all seriousness though, school has really eaten up a lot of our time. All four of us are entering the big senior year and we have been pretty focused with after school things and grades, all that good stuff. But hey, what time is it? Summer time! (High School Musical reference, I'm really sorry about that) Anyway, it's summer time. We will have ample time to post about games. So look out for reviews, upcoming game posts, and some Let's Plays!
This isn't the last you've seen of us. We'll be back.
They always come back.

News for the new year!

So I've been doing some hard work lately, and because of it, we get a podcast! That's right, soon, you'll be able to listen to me, Cassidy, Kamu and Emalie talk about games, tell jokes, and just do whatever we want. Trust me, it'll be entertaining. If all goes well, the first one should be up on January 1st. Fingers crossed! Also, the third episode of "Let's Play: Saint's Row the Third" will be out sometime in the next few days.

Heso.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
Episode IV, A NEW HOPE It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire’s ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet. Pursued by the Empire’s sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy….

Also I can post now.

I'm dumb

So I just realized that if you were to send me a steam game (see my last 2 posts for details) you would need my e-mail address. Well, it's wonkyace@gmail.com Feel free to e-mail about other stuff, like suggestions or questions about the site. Thanks!

New Lady Gamer!

Hello, I'm Emalie!
Cassie and I have been playing video games together since we were eight years old when we first met. It all started out with Jak II and Sly Cooper. However, on Jak II we just threw people in lakes and stole their cars! Now, we play the big kid serious games, like Call of Duty (Soap is our Scottish prince) and we plan to live together in New York City, where we shall have a successful career in video games! It's pretty awesome and exciting.

Overall, I'm looking forward to sharing video game greatness here on Kill-Screen ;D

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

The Best Has Yet To Come!

Stop crying. We know you've already finished MW3 and Battlefield 3. You're currently trying to further advance yourself in Skyrim and perfect your skills in Zelds S.S. So what's next for you? The most awaited games have come out and you seem to have nothing left to live for. To make your sad little nerdy selves a bit happier, we've compiled a few things to brighten your geeky lives (for now)!

1. Upcoming Games To Keep You Going: 

• Mario Kart 7 (12/4/11)
• Mass Effect 3 (3/6/12)
• Halo 4 (Available for Pre-Order)
• Final Fantasy XII - 2 (1/31/12)
• Sly Cooper 4: Thieves in Time (2012)
• Mario Party 9 (Pre-Order)
• Animal Crossing 3DS (Pre-Order)
• Bioshock Infinite (2/1/12)

   2. Black Friday / CyberMonday:

News is, this year is supposed to be the biggest blowout with CyberMonday and Black Friday. GameStop is staying open late as well as several other game stores with massive deals on newly released games. Trust me, if you have a low budget for games, these are two opportunities for you to grab hold of the games you've been longing for. I know I'm going to get Just Dance 3 so Riley, Kamu, and myself can have a dance party, maybe even make it into a video of weekly arcade if you're lucky! Either or, games like Battlefield, MW3, Uncharted 3, are supposed to be ten to maybe even twenty dollars off so go wait in the massive Best Buy line and get yourself a good game for cheap! 

   3. An Idea

Neither Riley or Kamu know about this but I'm thinking of maybe developing an App for the site. It's not huge by any means, but my friend Rilea is actually a developer and makes Apps for people. I will definitely pitch the idea to him to help make a user friendly App for anyone who frequently checks out the site!

New Video Series!

Well... Sort of... This is just a trailer for the new video series coming soon to the site. It's a Let's Play of the greatest game ever. And this will be the greatest Let's Play ever.

It's been a long time.

Well, I guess I'm back. After a long time of thinking about it, I need to get back into the habit of this website. I never really thought of how important this was to me. This, my baby, turned into something bigger and I wasn't here for it. Like now, we apparently have another person on board which I wasn't really clued in on for the most part until Riley just kinda told me about it one day in a French Club meeting. I feel like this still is my website, although Riley might beg to differ, but it's mine none the less.
Considering the fact that I'm going into computer software & gaming engineering, this website might be one of the best things under my belt and I really do miss having the motivation of coming on this everyday and trying to build it up. So enough with the excuses, the commander in chief is back in town.

News!

Ok, so I have some news. First of all, I know there wasn't a Weekly Arcade this week. That's because I was busy filming and editing some new Let's Plays. Second, there are some new Let's Plays coming out very soon. Two to be exact. Also, there are two people editing these, so it will take less time to get content released. Third, you can now follow me on twitter @RileyHooper to get updates about the site, like when new things are released, or when new content is being made. It's great! Also, you can stalk me, and learn about my personal life! Awesome!

More News!

In my last post I hinted at a new series of videos revolving around Metal Gear Solid. It was going to be Let's Plays. Unfortunately, after playing through half of Metal Gear Solid since that post, I have come to the conclusion that a Let's Play in that game would be a terrible idea. It is a game wrought with cutscenes, which are harder to commentate on, since I don't want to talk over any of the characters. Gameplay happens in short spurts, so I just wouldn't have enough time to be funny or entertaining. I am still working on a few other things that should work though, so keep checking back for more.

MIA

So I've been gone for personal reasons, one being school starting up, and I'm really sorry. I don't know if I'll finish the Childhood Games posts just because things have gotten so hectic around here and with school it's going to feel impossible to put anything up. Now and again I will post, but for now I'm taking a small break just to adjust to the flow of school.

News!

I just wanted to let everyone know that there won't be a Zelda episode out today. That's because I'm working very hard on two new series that will start somewhere in the next few days. Here's a hint: Steel Cog Liquid

Zelda Update

Today is Tuesday. There was supposed to be a "Zelda" episode yesterday. There wasn't. Unfortunately, I have gone back to school, so it will be a few days before a Zelda video is uploaded. Simply put, they take up a lot of time that I don't have right now, especailly since im taking some of the hardest classes that my school offers. I'm sorry, but in the meantime I should have a few articles up throughout the week. Friday night, there will hopefully be a new Zelda episode out. Untill then, keep checking back everyday in case there's a surprise for you guys.

So there are some missing posts...

The upload schedule of the Let's Play Zelda episodes is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. There wasn't an episode yesterday because my computer was broken. I fixed it today, spent hours uploading the third episode, only to find that it wasn't editied, so there were 2 minutes in the beginning of me setting up the video. I just took it down. Now I have to re-edit the video and re-upload it. It takes 3 hours to upload an episode of Zelda. So, episode 3 and 4 will be posted tomorrow, barring any more unfortunate events. I am extremely sorry for the wait. As for the Top Ten Childhood Games List, those will be caught up tomorrow. Again, it's due to computer issues. Also again, I am very very sorry.

Quick Update

I was supposed to post a review and two games from my top 10 childhood games list. Unfortunately, a bad storm knocked out my power today. It took all of my time and effort to post the first episode of my new series, but I promise to put all of that other stuff up tomorrow. But for now, enjoy the video below this post!

New Series To Come:

I thought up a new series that will only last for ten parts which is going to be called:

Top 10 Childhood Games

This is kind of like a stupid tag you see on Facebook only it isn't annoying or completely irrelevant to the website it's on. 

Everyday I'll make a post (counting down from 10-1) about my absolute favorite childhood games that I could never put down. Who knows, maybe this will spark a light in your memory of your favorite games!

I've Got Bad News, and Good News...

Ok, so Let's start with the bad news. "Game Time!" is done. Forever. No more Darksiders videos. I do have another 40 episodes that were filmed, but I'm going to delete them. I hated the way it turned out. My ipod just doesn't work for what I wanted to do. Now for the good news. I'm starting a new series of "Let's Plays". I don't know what I'll call them. I'll either stick with "Game Time" (removing the "!"), or use something new like "Press Start" or just the simple "Let's Play". This new series of videos will have a much higher quality since I will be using a capture card and a real microphone instead of my ipod. Also, the videos will be funnier since I've had practice. They might be longer as well. With my ipod, I was limited to 10 minutes, but now I can go to about an hour, maybe even longer. I'll experiment with video length, but expect 20-30 minutes, which I'm sure you'll enjoy. 10 minutes just doesn't seem long enough for something good to happen in an episode. This new series will begin either next week or the week after, depending on when my equipment arrives in the mail, and how long it takes for me to lean how to use it. If you were a fan of the Darksiders videos, please tell me. If there was a fanbase, then I'll probably restart it, using the much better equipment. For now, look forward to whatever game I choose to go after first.

More good news! With the capture card and microphone and everything else I'm getting, I'll be able to do a lot more than just "Let's Plays". I'm talking about video reviews, game spotlights, and maybe even machinima. That last one is least likely to happen because it would be the hardest to create. But, it is a possibility, and something I'd love to make. If you don't know what machinima is, look up "Red vs. Blue". It is easily my favorite machinima series of all time. And if you don't want to look it up, then machinima is when a film is created using a video game. Essentially, I would have footage of game characters talking to each other and doing stuff, except I would do the voices, write the dialogue, write the whole story, etc.

But yeah, that's a lot to look forward to. In the meantime, I'll be writing reviews. I'll definitely have one up every Friday, and try to put another one up on some other day. I might put up some news stuff or something funny too.
