As many of you know I recently purchased a Wii with a copy of Super Smash Brothers Brawl. The gameplay is great, however, the online play is lacking. By lacking I mean there either isn’t much of a challenge online or I will lag a lot when someone else has a bad connection. For this reason I have found two alternatives to play 1v1 in Brawl with little to no lag. The lag mostly depends on how close, or far, you are from the person you are playing.
The first way is to visit SSBBPlayerswhere all you have to do is place your Wii profile name, your Friend Code, and your location. Once done you can now challenge anyone online to play a direct connection.
The second way to play people online 1v1 is to visit SmashBoards where you can find more people willing to play you. After you visit Smash Boards, make an account and then go to this thread. I will warn you that the majority of the players there are quite good. So bring your A game.
Now I do not play Halo 3. In fact, I played Halo 1 and 2 but I did not get an Xbox 360. I do, however, try to keep up with everything related to games which is why I present to you one random betrayal.
I own a Wii and not a gamecube but I still use the controllers. I personally dislike using a Wii controller for Super Smash Brothers which is why I prefer the gamecube controller. Recently, I have been using my controller quite a lot and I started to notice that the controller will continue in one direction even after I let go of the joystick. Meaning, I press right on the joystick, my character continues to go right even when I let go. I tried everything to fix it but the only way I know how to fix it is to reset the gamecube controller. To do so, all you must to is hold the X and Y button as well as the start button. Hold it for 8 seconds or so and your controller will be reset.
Unreal Tournament has probably been dubbed as one of the best games on the PC to be ever created, as for me I always thought Tribes>UT ;). Since then when Tribes died, I can admit that I like Unreal Tournament, and the UT3 is no exception, it is pretty fun. New vehicles, can be modded, and same gameplay to some extent. The price is not to bad, as with any game it usually runs to about $50. There are like 40 maps with several various gameplays.
First Person Shooters are one of my favorite genre of games to play for either console or PC. The story behind Fuel of War is that the world’s remaining superpowers are split, and factions among them are fighting one another. The game play is somewhat like control points, in order to win the match you must basically control the entire map. The maps are pretty cool to play, but the bugs can really hinder on gameplay.
Backgammon Masters online game operator has applied for a Guinness Gamer World Record in farthest backgammon dice toss. The purpose of the event to announce and promote Backgammon Masters Backgammon Freeroll tournaments held every Tuesday and Friday at http://www.backgammonmasters.com . The plan is to toss 2 backgammon dice out of a helicopter 200-300 ft. up in the sky onto a 1 acre-sized gigantic backgammon board-shaped field in a HUGE backgammon tournament, and huge here refers to the size of the playing field and dice, checkers and the event itself.
In the tournament, 2 well-known world backgammon champions will play a full match on the huge acre-sized field using a helicopter to toss the dice and a staff to move the checkers communicating with walkie talkies. The size of checkers to be used is 3 feet in diameter. The winner will get to keep the dice which are valued at 1,000 Euro. The backgammon dice are custom made out of a special inflatable material to withstand the impact of the fall.

I must say this is one of the best fan made CGI videos I have ever seen. The animator goes by the name Monty Oum and he is famous for making Haloid, the mix between a female Master Chief and Samus Aran. Now he is at it again with a 2 videos (so far) called Dead Fantasy 1 & 2. From what it seems, it is a mix between DOA and Final Fantasy. Check the two vids after the break:
Part 1
Part 2
All I must say is those are some sick fighting scenes.
Microsoft just released a new customized Xbox 360. In fact, there are only 500 of these in circulation. These are the Xbox 360 Elites with a customized paint job using “automotive-quality” paint. It also comes with a briefcase of items such as a controller, webcam, and headset. Seems like a major waste of money to me but then again, I am not the biggest fan of the GTA series. Maybe the readers will find it more glorious then I will. But it is a good way to get fans hyped for the GTA game that releases April 29th. Take a look:
