Conversations with IrishPride Episode 24

/
Hello everybody and welcome to a long overdue episode of Conversations with IrishPride.  Today I am actually going to give a quick book review.  That's right, an actual real life book.  Well, technically, it was an electronic book on my Kindle app, but a book nonetheless!  Believe it or not, I do read when I get the opportunity to.  So without further ado, I give you my quick review of Ernest Cline's novel, Ready Player One.

Conversations with IrishPride Episode 22

/
Has Hell frozen over?  Quite possibly with another new installment of CwIP less than two days of the last.  Welcome everybody to Episode 22 of Conversations with IrishPride.  At this rate, I'll be hitting episode 100 in no time!  I wouldn't hold my breath though.  Today I'm going to ramble about a game my Dad and I have created awhile ago and it's just too stupid not to share with all of you.

Conversations with IrishPride Episode 20

/
Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of Conversations with IrishPride.  It's been awhile since our last episode of CwIP, so I'm hoping this one will make up for the break.  Today I'm going to talk about Nintendo and how almost every other video game site are absolutely bashing them and saying how they lost E3.  Well, I'm here to actually defend Nintendo and explain to all the other "giant" video game sites that you are absolutely wrong.

ZombiU - E3 Preview

/
When Day 2 rolled around for Assimilator and I, we had a plan of action in place to check out the West Hall which contained the big guns of the video gaming industry: Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony.  Upon entering the hall, I immediately lost track of Assimilator because there was one game I really wanted to try for the Wii U and that was Zombi U.

Nintendo Press Conference 6/5/12

/
Nintendo came locked and loaded to show off an array of new Wii U titles, as well as a few 3DS titles, for gamers everywhere.  I will admit, last year, I was weary of the Wii U and the Wii U gamepad.  Well, after getting to go to the press conference, I am now extremely excited about the Wii U and the new options the Wii U gamepad gives gamers everywhere.  Below you will find a list of some of the games that Nintendo showcased at their conference and a couple of bullet points for each title... Oh, and Zombi U looks awesome and my inner child totally wants to play Lego City Undercover.  Good job Nintendo, you now have me excited about the Wii U and looking forward to check them out on the E3 floor this week.

To Research Or Not To Research...That Is the Question
 
Hello everybody!  In the words of GLaDOS, I am indeed "Still Alive!"  Welcome to episode 19 of Conversations with IrishPride.  I know, I know, it's been a long time since your eyes had the pleasure of reading useless comments that come out of my brain and onto this page.  Today will be no different as I think I'm going to talk about, I don't know, let's say...Diablo 3?
 
Sure, let's talk about Diablo 3.  I admit, I'm excited for this game to finally be released.  I absolutely played the crap out of Diablo 2 back in the day, but, I feel I haven't been doing my due diligence on this title.  I haven't been keeping up to date with the progression of the game, I didn't play the open beta (I tried, but for whatever reason, couldn't get the thing to download) and I cannot even tell you the different classes.  Now, I know I will buy Diablo 3 and I will probably enjoy it as well.  My question to all of you out there is this: Should I do some research on the game; look up the different classes and abilities so I'm prepared when the game is launched?  Or, should I continue my current path and not look anything up online and go into the game blind making my choices "on the fly" if you will.  Part of me wants to look at the different classes and abilities so I can prepare how I want to build my first character and to see which one is best.  The other part of me likes the idea of doing no research on the game and simply jump in and see which class/abilities speak to me.  I'll leave it up to you, the beautiful readers of The Gameslave.  So, should I research the different classes or just jump into the game?  Leave your comments below and this is IrishPride, (I am very much alive) signing out.  Until next time, whenever that may be, May the 4th be with you!

Mass Effect 3 - Review

/
Anybody who knows me or has been reading any of my past Conversations with IrishPride articles, knows that I am absolutely enamored with the Mass Effect universe. Well, I just finished Mass Effect 3 and I come to you with a review of the final chapter. Does the conclusion of Commander Shepard's epic trilogy end with a big bang? (See what I did there with the big bang comment, it being a sci fi game and all, I know, I'm weird!)
