Diablo 2 Ladder Reset on March 25th 2010

Posted: Tuesday, March 16th, 2010 @ 08:21 AM under Games

It appears Blizzard is finally planning a Diablo 2 ladder reset on March 25th, 2010 (3-25-2010). It's been a long time coming. Does this mean the release of the 1.13 patch? I'm not sure, but probably. I'm a bit excited, and a bit annoyed. I'm excited for the economy but I'm annoyed because I've not finished the version 3 site of the [link=http://www.d2supplies.com/]diablo 2 items store[/link] I will really have to set a side a few hours this week to try to g...

Playstation 3 is becoming a joke

Posted: Monday, November 23rd, 2009 @ 09:41 PM under Games

Look, I know it may seem like I complain about my playstation 3 a lot and I must say you don't even know the half of it. This thing has turned in to such a piece of shit that I'd fucking break it in two if I didn't have $2,000 worth of games for the thing. Like most everyone else you'll find if you google [link=http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1W1GFRD_en&num=100&q=playstation+3+wont+load+games&aq=f&oq=&aqi=g1]playstation 3 wont load games[/li...

CoD MW2 coming and my PS3 is broken

Posted: Friday, November 6th, 2009 @ 11:46 AM under Games

Yeah, so, I broke my PS3 the other day trying to clean it. I've isolated the issue to when inserting a disc it doesn't properly get seated in to the reading mechanism(ish) thing. So you put it in, it makes the 'insert noise' about 5 seconds to long and I got no top right loading icon. Of course, if the PS3 wouldn't of stopped reading all my discs I would of never had to take it apart, AGAIN! Afterall, I'm pretty damn sure I just [link=http://www.bterrill.com/blo... (post trimmed)

Been a while, but CoD WaW still sucks

Posted: Saturday, October 31st, 2009 @ 10:06 AM under Games

So I've not played in 2-3 months and I decided to revist the land of CoD and see how many people still suck, and more importantly, if Treyarch has learned to fix anything (must of got their programming degrees online, muaha) Anyways, nothings changed. I'm still the best, everyone still sucks. Treyarch still is trying to force us to buy their shitty maps, and since it doesn't work you can get them 50% off right now. Wow, 50% off of a pile of shit is still 50% shit last time I c... (post trimmed)

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

[b]YES![/b] I have it. I couldn't wait on GameFly. Well, actually I somehow lost the shipping sleves and can't send anything back to them is more like it, but alas I broke down.

Treyarch keeps dropping the ball on CoD WaW

Posted: Wednesday, August 26th, 2009 @ 06:53 AM under Games

You know, I've not been playing much Call of Duty these days. Ever since the enabling of map packs you may not own in the map rotation is making it all but impossible. So lately I've been spending more time doing work and revisiting the lovely land of [link=http://www.bterrill.com/blog/games/04-2009-i-really-enjoy-sid-meier-s-civilization-revolution.html]Civilization Revolution[/link] (one of the best games on PS3!).

Do you need to buy a Diablo 2 CD Key Set?

Posted: Sunday, August 23rd, 2009 @ 07:10 AM under Games

I just launched the [link=http://www.diablo2cdkeys.com/]Diablo 2 CD Key Store[/link] that can meet your needs. Unlike most of the places to purchase [link=http://www.d2supplies.com/]Diablo 2 Items[/link] this website deals 100% only in D2 CD-Keys. I only spent around 1 1/2 days on the site but it's up and running. I need to spend a bit more time compiling a better FAQ and such but you know how that goes.

Playstation 3 Broken? Games not loading?

Posted: Wednesday, July 15th, 2009 @ 07:12 PM under Games

I can relate. Correction, I [b]used to be able to relate[/b]. I've finally fixed my PS3. It's as good as new. Did the Maxell lens cleaner do it? Unfortuantly, no. It did make a cool sound, but I think my problem wasn't dust. More on that later. [b]The Problems...[/b] First, I must say that the problems were sparatic far before they became constant. It would be anything from loading games slow, to not recognizing them at all, to skipping/freezing during game loads and/or play,... (post trimmed)

CoD WaW: I hit Prestiege 10

Posted: Friday, July 3rd, 2009 @ 05:18 PM under Games

So finally I've done it. Woo hoo. I stopped at level 13 but I plan to play after this post. I've not played since yesterday and I want to hit 65 and just be done man. It'll be so nice not to start over. I got tired of it after the first time. It's not fun. Boy, I tell you, I've come a long way though. I came from PC gaming to the console last July when I bought my PS3 and HD TV. I never played online really either until I got CoD World at War. I've played CoD 1/... (post trimmed)

I made too many noobs cry on Double XP

Posted: Thursday, June 18th, 2009 @ 02:43 AM under Games

So it was a jammed packed weekend on the virtual battlefield. I played way too much Call of Duty World at War, but that's not my fault. They extended the double xp by one day. So what started as a 4am "I'll play till they stop at 9am" turned in to so many hours of playing (because they didn't shut it off) that it's almost embarrassing how long I sat there owning noobs. Now, I like to own noobies like everyone, but not the low level guys. [b]No one cries harder t... (post trimmed)

Uncharted: Drakes Fortune Review

I signed up for [link=http://www.gamefly.com]GameFly[/link] last Monday. I've thought about it for a while, and finally decided too many games I've bought weren't worth but a fraction of the price. Anyways... I had originally played the demo of [b]Uncharted: Drakes Fortune[/b] through a free download on the Playstation Store. I really liked it so it was my first game I got from GameFly. Well, as you know (if you've played the demo or anything) the game is basically abo... (post trimmed)

Call of Duty WaW Double XP Weekend

Posted: Thursday, June 11th, 2009 @ 07:23 AM under Games

Finally, we're getting a double experience weekend for call of duty world at war! I've been waiting for a few weeks for this. It's supposed to start today (hasn't yet, even though it says it has..) with the launch of the new [b]Map Pack 2[/b] -- I won't be buying this map pack. I've got little interest because the last one only had one good map in it and there's too many issues with the game yet to be resolved. Some are supposed to be with the new patch, bu...

Treyarch: A bunch of noobs, Call of Duty WaW not worth $10

So, I'm sure you might remember my other [link=http://www.bterrill.com/blog/games/04-2009-call-of-duty-world-at-war-on-playstation-3-is-irritating-me.html]Call of Duty World at War dislikes[/link] but it's gotten so much worse. I was hoping for some Double XP weekend to come around but it hasn't. They generally announce them a bit ahead of when they run them on the call of duty website, so I loaded it up to take a peek.

Diablo 2 Ladder Reset with D2 Patch 1.13 Official

I had heard through the grapevine yesterday that some activity over on [link=http://forums.d2jsp.org]d2jsp[/link] might of indicated that a Diablo 2 reset was coming, but I hadn't heard anything confirmed. If you play Diablo 2 online than you know that this is pretty much the biggest deal in the game these days, and obviously this peeks my interest due to my [link=http://www.d2supplies.com]Diablo 2 Item Store[/link] which is pretty busy already but is majorily busy on reset times.

I really enjoy Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution

Posted: Saturday, April 18th, 2009 @ 07:18 AM under Games

I don't have an extreme amount of PS3 games, around 25, but many of them lack replay value. One thing I love about PS3 is the free online store (and free online in general). You can download lots of demos and such for free. I often check out the PS3 game demo section. One game I tried out around 2 months ago was [b]Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution[/b]. I remember playing Civ on the PC god knows how long ago. I'm sure some of you do too. Now, I was having a bit of nostalgia and... (post trimmed)

It's Double XP Weekend on Call of Duty WAW!

Posted: Friday, April 17th, 2009 @ 11:44 PM under Games

Just letting everyone know it's Double XP weekend on Call of Duty World at War and it couldn't of come at a better time. I just hit prestiege level 3 and I'm level 26 so maybe I can jump to 50 or something before the weekend. I hate leveling past 40 or 45 to be honest. See you on the battlefield soldiers.

Call of Duty World at War on Playstation 3 is irritating me

Posted: Monday, April 6th, 2009 @ 06:55 AM under Games

Sometimes it seems that the world is against me when I try to play Call of Duty World at War online. It's not that the game isn't good or anything there's just some issues I have with the game and the Playstation 3 Online in general. First, PS3 online is free which is awesome, but it seems that this means players host the servers for games vs a real server (ie on the pc). There's so many times I try to play a game online and get "Game Lobby Closed", or better ye... (post trimmed)
