Posted by Twinkling82 On January - 18 - 2010

PSN recently added a new feature to the avatars life, called HOME.

For a small fee (4.99$) you can buy the new addition to HOME. It’s called London Pub, and it even contains a dart game you can play with your friends! It’s a personal space, therefore not accessible from HOME square. Read the rest of this entry »

Natal release leaked?

Posted by Twinkling82 On November - 11 - 2009

The UK MCV website posted today that they have caught some leaked information on the long-awaited hardware extension for the XBox 360, called Project Natal by the developers of the device.

Appearently their sources say that Microsoft has settled a release date which is a year from now, sometime in November 2010, and it will be a worldwide release, so no one feels left out.

The article also mentions that Microsoft has now shared technical details and information to game developers, so they can prepare games that works with the device.

Microsoft plans are to make 5 million units for the worldwide launch, with a price of 50$ for a unit – which is a significant lower price than people all over the internet has been guessing. Let’s just hope that this guess is a fact and not just a rumor. If the price is this, I will definitely pre-order one.

Remember to follow my Facebook Natal Fanpage.

Posted by Twinkling82 On November - 9 - 2009

Since the start in september, I have been working on this site periodicly. I’ve added some stuff here and there, when remembering or getting aware of a good function.

10th september I added counters, both flag counter – which I later on decided to remove because the design of it – but also dacounter, a free counter with lots of info on visitors which I love to use.

Later on, I found some share buttons, which I hope you all will use to show your gamingfriends the website.

If you wish to get updated on every post, you can either use your Trueachievements account and get in the leaderboard for the site and follow the website update thread, or use your Playfire account and get member of the group and follow the website updates thread there. Or you could simply use your Facebook profile and get fan of the page to get updates. Website updates will also be posted via Twitter.

The newest addition is probably the mark on pictures to show you, the reader, if the article is a review, impression, news or something completely different – with color code!

Hint for the next GTA game?

Posted by Twinkling82 On October - 30 - 2009

I think I’m gonna need the Pointer Sisters to justify my joy when reading this news article. Someone, try and keep me from singing “I’m so Excited”! It might just be a hint, but we all know how the developers at Rockstar love to tease us with this kinda stuff. And most of the times it ends up to be true, or at least, partly true.

According to gamespot, gamers around the world, who have waited patiently (not to buy the Lost and Damned episode from Marketplace), nailbiting with high hopes that the exclusive extra content for the X360 coming into disc. The wish is granted. When the second Episode, named “The Ballad of Gay Tony”, got released on Marketplace, Microsoft also released a disc version with both episodes.
Then they noticed something exciting in the manual. A little “ad” with a broken heart and the GTA IV artwork inside it. Below the heart it says; “Liberty City, it’s over!”, a hint that there won’t be more GTA games in Liberty City – at least not in this console generation. Further down, the ad is ripped, with some sort of bow in blue colors, and yellow and grey background – and the text next to the rip says; “Next stop.”, a hint that this might be the hint of the next Grand Theft Auto game!

One can only hope…! I certainly know I do – can never wait for these games. Anyone knows of a subscribing service to pre order the games and get the news as fast as possible?

What do you guys think? True or untrue?

The annual FLAG event!

Posted by Twinkling82 On October - 15 - 2009


Source; trueachievements, flagtournement, Xbox Live.

For the fourth time, the FLAG (Fight Like A Girl) tournement is on. This is how we gaming girls roll I guess. Hardcore gamers don’t bake, so we can only bake goodies for our guys or shoot the head off them in games. These girls chooses the latter – I’m crap at shooting games (don’t buy these games) so I won’t participate, but I will participate in posting the news and telling people about it.

Origins
This tournament started as a simple idea to get a girl out of having to bake cookies to raise money for breast cancer research. Some girls just can’t bake. Some girls however, can shoot enemies all day and night from the comfort of their home.

Our Goal
We will prove to the world that gamers do more than just sit around eating chips, drinking Kool-Aid and playing games. While we may in fact love chips and Kool-Aid, there are thousands of us who are ready and willing to give. This tournament is a testament to that.

- sweet, ain’t it?

This tournement raises thousands of dollars in about 3 weeks – every year. You can pay for each event you wan’t to participate in, or buy a three-day pass to be in every event.
