Beating a boss is a thrill!

For me it´s always a thrill to beat a boss that´s so much bigger and stronger than you, but even with those benefits you still manage to beat him (or her). I think I found one of those big bosses first in Zelda games, this time it wasn´t about just hacking and slashing but learning the movement of the boss and strike when you have the opportunity. It seems simple but sometimes these bosses can keep you busy for quite some time, especially if you can´t figure out how to beat him (or her).


The bigger they are, the harder they fall? I guess that makes sense, usually a boss that is big is also more difficult to kill. Especially when the weak spot is in a spot where you have to climb and that the road to get there isn´t that easy, I think anyone who has played Shadow of the Colussus knows what I´m talking about! But don´t be suprised if a boss goes down easy, some might look intimidating but that doesn´t have to mean a thing! The same can be said about a small boss, because eventhough they don´t look intimidating they can fuck you up if you´re not careful. Size isn´t everything!


I think a lot of gamers enjoy winning, that feeling of accomplishing something and getting past a difficult obstacle. If it´s an obstacle that doesn´t fight back then it´s maybe not that impressive, but when the obstacle is a huge boss that does everything in his (or her) power to stop you then I´d say it´s quite an accomplishment to beat him (or her)! Right now I´m still in a very positive mood for beating the Kraken in CoD Ghosts Devastation dlc Extinction ep 2 Mayday. Beating a creature that is so much bigger and stronger is a good feeling, especially when you do it solo without any help of others. Because if others take the glory then it feels a bit tainted to me, of course it´s nice if you have friends that help you and a shared victory is still cool. But I can´t help help but feel less thrilled when someone else beats the boss for me, I guess I´m a bit selfish in that way that I want to be the one that brings the monster down!


A shared victory is still a victory? Absolutely, don´t get me wrong I enjoy playing with other people and if we can bring down a difficult boss then that´s cool. But sometimes I do enjoy going on an adventure just by myself and beating bosses on my own. Because that´s probably one of the best feelings for me when I play games, beating the impossible all by myself!

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Movie Monday: Mr & Mrs Smith

There are movie that might not look good at first, when you hear about it, but once you see the movie then you know that it's a fantastic movie. What really made Mr & Mrs Smith so good was the acting of the two main stars in the movie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They had so much fun making this movie that it's an absolute joy to watch the movie. Which is good news for people that are looking for a fun movie to watch! Married to a spy? The story of Mr & Mrs Smith is pretty simple, a man is a spy and marries to a woman not knowing that she's a spy too. Apparently both of them are unaware of eachothers activities until their paths cross in their spy life, which leads to a lot of fighting and explosions. It's really not the action that makes this movie so much fun to watch but it's the humour. Mr & Mrs Smith is the type of movie that shows that a movie can be ten times better when the actors are actually enjoying themselves making this movie, instead ...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...
