EA Loves the MicroTrans’

In a move that should surprise no one, EA has decided to milk… I mean provide their fine customers a chance to enhance their purchase of Battlefield: Bad Company with a selection of several additional weapons via the various digital marketplaces. It’s common knowledge that EA, Namco and really just about all the big boys nowadays, have learned to embrace the digital distribution channels available with the current gen systems, but some have made their offerings more consumer friendly and or worthwhile than others. I mean who can forget Oblivion’s horse armor? It was armor… for your horse… that, unlike in an MMORPG, no one else but you would ever really enjoy, and served no practical purpose in the game.
Here I am…
I know, I know. You’re all wondering where I’ve been this past week or so. Playing a boat load of games maybe? Reading “How to Blog about games for idiots” perchance? Maybe working on my own design doc for the next great game? No… I had to have a bunch of dental work done. Not very exciting I know. But I did bite the bullet and decided to get a more up to date PC rig.
Lost Odyssey Journal – The 1,000 Year Old Virgin
The fires are starting to burn out, the dogs tied up and Kaim and company are coming home. Finally on the 4th and last disc of this Odyssey that while not lost most assuredly will be missed. There have been some recent twists and turns in the plot but nothing that would surprise most people that have played any other RPGs in the past. Even finally starting to grind a bit due to the last half of the 3rd disc being chock full of cutscenes. Out of the few complaints I have for this game that would be a big one.
