Some Video Game Art/Wallpapers

What's up guys, instead of actually taking my time to write out a post, I decided to share some artwork in the video game category that I thought was cool/interesting. Of course all of the credit goes to the original artists, I didn't draw a single one of these and I never will be able to.

First is the concept art from Infamous. Infamous is one of my favorite games and I've always been astounded by the comicbook-esque art they had in the cutscenes. Here are some pics.

Next is some Legend of Zelda art. Again, Legend of Zelda games are also one of my favorite games, and this picture makes me think people went to college to learn art for making LoZ art!

                              Just amazing!

And here is some Minecraft, another one of my favorite games.

And here is some alternative Pokemon art.

These alt-art pokemon pics always seem to scare me.

Some Team Fortress art everyone has probably already seen, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be shared!

I love me some mash-up art.

That's it for me, enjoy these art works.
An update for my computer
I'm getting most of my computer this month, it will probably be built by at latest Friday, so I will post pics, and some Minecraft posts for the next few weeks. But unfortunately I will be rocking an IGP for a month, so  the most graphics-intensive game I will be able to play is Left 4 Dead, maybe Portal 2. But next month around this time I will be getting my new graphics card, HIS 6790 (for now, might change it up soon idk), so then expect a lot more gaming reviews and maybe even videos.

Mister Fantasmo

Hey guys, I want to tell you about a Youtube commentator who is probably one of my favorites, if not the favorite. I don't really watch commentaries on Youtube for the gameplay unless it's a new game, so watching some commentators put the same game over and over again becomes annoying and tedious. MisterFantasmo mostly puts CoD videos, but he also has a let's play channel where he put up several Dead Island videos, and he's going to continue his on hiatus Amnesia, Minecraft, Terraria, and SuperMeatBoy videos.
He is a college student studied for something that he has never said. He plays the PS3, so it is a nice break from all the XBox commentators. He calls his audience "nuggets" for a reason I don't know.
Overall, his personality is great, he's humorous and random, and his videos turn out pretty funny, and he can continue to entertain you even if the gameplay is too short and he puts a black screen up.

Here is a video he put up a couple of days ago, portraying both his thoughts while playing games and the BS of Black Ops, it's only 2 minutes, so I suggest you watch until the end to see the truly funny part.

He also made a couple of skits with his friend KidLazer, who is also very random like him, and imo seems to have no neck.

Minecraft 1.8 finally released

I know, I know, so many freaking posts about Minecraft, but this is important. As you know 1.8 was prereleased last weekend, but now it was released for real.
Notch's tweet confirms this:
We just uploaded Minecraft 1.8, but minecraft.net isn't up right now because of web ops stuff.
Well have fun playing legit 1.8!

Minecraft 1.8 LEAKED!

I know, I know, so many posts about Minecraft 1.8, but this is important! Minecraft 1.8 has been leaked!

It was leaked on Reddit, but later Notch said that it was OK that people used it. Jeb, a Minecraft Developer was most likely the one that leaked it, he said that he would release it if he solved a problem for "expert users". 

Here's the link: http://assets.minecraft.net/1_8-pre/minecraft_server.jar

I didn't download it (because I don't have a Minecraft account lol) and I don't have a computer good enough to run it, but you can have fun with it!

Minecraft 1.8

Minecraft 1.8 looks pretty cool! The thing that looks awesome is sprinting. I really don't know why Notch didn't add this before, but it's finally going to be here. Before, you walked oh so slowly to your destination, but now you can cut that time and get to your destination much faster. You can also attack enemies while sprinting, which launches them back, which will be useful for spiders and creepers. Another thing I like is that the biomes are are larger and much more defined, unlike before when you would get a 4x4 area of sand with one cactus, and it would be a desert. The ravines look cool, but look like they could also be an annoyance, if maybe you are walking around rendering more map and a ravine appears right in front of you. The endermen are very strange, but probably won't be annoying, unless you accidentally look at them and they start attacking you. AND FINALLY ZOMBIES WON'T DROP FEATHERS!!! Why it was like that, I have no idea. And chickens and cows will drop their own meat. There are also silverfish, which are little bugs, which I hate irl, they're just creepy and disgusting. Also blue spiders, which will be more rare but stronger than normal spiders. You can charge up the bow, which makes sense, so using a clicker or whatever people use to make their clicks faster will not work anymore. And they added critical hits, kind of like a very subtle trickshot from CoD, where you jump and hit. There is also more farming options, like the melon and plantable pumpkins. There is also a new food consuming animation, and you can stack food. 

Looks awesome!

Minecraft

Hey, I'd like to talk about one of my favorite games, MINECRAFT! I haven't been able to play Minecraft, due to my laptop blowing up (I actually broke the screen pretty badly in a funny way). But as you may know from one of my older posts, I am going to buy a new computer soon, and I will finally be able to play Minecraft again! YAY! Secretly, I just downloaded an updatable torrent. I feel bad, and it kind of sucks, because Minecraft is much more fun with friends. I will buy it when I get my new PC, as it is only €14.95 or $22. I really like this game, I understand why people might not, but I don't understand why someone would hate it. Playing by yourself, you might get bored, once you do everything and you don't want to no life it up to create a huge castle or a replica of the 7 star hotel in Dubai or something. But playing with your friends is a great experience, as you will be able to build, mine, explore, or just mess around with your friends.
