Playing Around With War Games

August 23, 2010 / coklat posted in Hit Man / No Comments

Games are a popular past time for many teens and adults. It’s sometimes confusing to figure out just what each game offers and the risks of playing each game. With today’s world focused on reducing violence while still allowing creative freedom, it is up to the individual to remember that a game is just that: a game. Before you choose to allow your teen to play a more violent game, remember to make sure that they understand this concept.

Games of war are extremely popular-games with shooting, killing and violence. The kids love them as well as some of the adults. These are graphic and should be monitored by an adult. We have reviewed several of the most popular choices in order to give you a glimpse into the world of war games before you decide to play. Levels of violence vary from game to game and so do the graphic nature of the games.

Tactical Assassin 2 is a violence rated game. You are given a mission in which you are told who or what to kill. You are given your guns and ammo and sent out to find the target. The first time you play this game, you must get through training in order to be able to continue. This game is all about taking the shot at the right time. Killing with the first shot gets you points as well as killing within a specified time limit. Good luck Mr. Assassin!

Bowman 2 is all about shooting an arrow through the heart of your opponent. Very graphic and disturbing. In order to shoot the arrow; you must use your mouse and your left button. Clicking anywhere in the game window (making sure that you always have enough room to adjust the strength and angle of the arrow), you must move your mouse back and down to get the correct angle and strength, then release the left button and your arrow flies. You are hoping the arrow will fly right into the heart of your enemy, thus killing him.

You can choose to go bird hunting by selecting that option. There will be birds flying all over you. Take good aim and keep pulling back to get a lot of strength. If you do not have enough strength, then your arrow goes up just a bit and falls right down next to you! You must remember that you will always have to shoot in front of the target some to allow the arrow to climb to the correct height and still hit your target. When you do hit a bird, then it does fall out of the sky with blood dripping out if it-very graphic for younger players. In fact, after quite a few kills, we found ourselves surrounded by blood spills as well as the dead birds. If you have had a very bad day at the office this could relieve some stress.

Clear Vision II is a hit man for hire. When you enter into the game, you are asked if you will take a mission and it is explained in great detail. The first mission we did was to kill an x-wife of someone because they thought that she was crazy! They will pay you so much money and then you must hit the accept bar. After accepting your new job, you will stalk the target by looking through the spyglass. After finding and entering the “kill zone” you then take the shot. When you kill the target, blood shoots out where the bullet hit and the target falls. You calmly walk away and back to the office where you will collect the money from the grateful client. You then have the choice whether to go home or take another job. This game is extremely violent and isn’t one that kids or teens should play because of the graphic nature as well as the level of violence involved. Clear Vision II is an adult only game.

As you can see, the most popular games of war are also some of the most disturbing games that can be played. It is imperative to ensure that your teen understands real life does not work the way the games do. If there is any doubt, skip these games and opt for more realistic ones as games of war can become deadly if transfered from the screen into real life situations.

Zany Video Games From Insomniac Games

April 16, 2010 / coklat posted in Hit Man / No Comments

On the market today there is now available some crazy and zany video games that can enhance the video gaming experience for gamers. These incredible video games have the ability to cause the villains within a video game to begin dancing to disco music.

The most bizarre of these newly bizarre video games are produced by Insomniac Games, who also produced the Ratchet And Clank Future – Tools Of Destruction video game. Within this video game was the introduction of the Transformer that had the ability to turn enemies into tiny, little penguins and the Gelanator that could trap its enemies in ice cubes that were made of lime gelatin. Their whimsical look on video games has enabled the majority of their video games to become top titles on the bestseller charts by the gaming industry.

The magical and advanced technology that is used in creating special effects in many movies are the same ones that are used to create the realistic graphics and life like animation within many video games produced by Insomniac Games. Insomniac Games is one of the few independent video game developers that are still battle for their place among the big league names of Activision and Electronic Arts Incorporated. Already two top independent video game developers, Pandemic Studios and BioWare Corporation, have sold out to Electronic Arts Incorporated.

Insomniac Games is a company that has reserved the rights to keep to their roots as a goofy and informal company that can focus on creativity and fun. This company was founded in 1994 and has been going strong ever since they released their very first video game demo entitled, Disruptor. However, it only sold close to two hundred thousand copies, which is not great, but for a first time video game it is not too shabby either.

The second video game that they released was Spyro the Dragon, which featured a friendly purple dragon and it was a runaway hit. This video game was so incredible that between 1998 and 2000 there were three more video games created that were based on the Dragon Spyro. The sales of these video games reached close to twelve million copies actually being sold.

Then in 2002, they created Ratchet And Clank, which was about a furry yellow creature and his robot sidekick. This video game was such a huge hit that it sold more than twelve million copies. The major video game they released was a more mature type of video game known as, Resistance – Fall Of Man. This video game became one of the best selling video games for Sony and its Playstation 3 video game system.

Insomniac Games develops video games for only Sony, and since the Playstation 3 video gaming system has fallen way behind the sales of the Wii and Xbox-360 they have truly been affected. However, they are not considering selling out to the larger video game developing companies. In fact, they will consider developing video games for other video game system manufactures first.

They have created such fabulous video games as Spyro the Dragon in 1998, Spyro 2 – Ripto’s Rage in 1999, Spryo – Year of the Dragon in 2000, Ratchet & Clank in 2002, Ratchet & Clank – Going Commando in 2003, Ratchet & Clank – Up Your Arsenal in 2004, Ratchet Deadlocked in 2005, Ratchet & Clank Future – Tools of Destruction in 2006, and Resistance – Fall of Man in 2007.

Dice Sports Games That Are Fun; The Baseball Game

March 2, 2010 / coklat posted in Hit Man / No Comments

This is the third installment in a world of incredibly fun sports games played with dice. In the first installment I taught you how to play the college version of Dice Football. Then in the second you learned the Pro Football dice game. Now it is Dice Baseball, which is the first dice game that I ever invented. Just as in my football games you will need two dice, notebook paper and a pen or pencil to play dice baseball.

You will recall that in the college football game you got your box score set up so that you can begin the game and just take turns for four quarters. In the baseball game you will have to make a box score sheet that has nine boxes split in half. These two halves represent the home team and the visitors. Remember that in baseball the home team always bats last and should be on the bottom of the two box halves.

As in real baseball each team rolls for nine innings. The exception of course is the home team. If the home team is winning after the visitor has finished his half of the ninth, then there is no need for the home boys to roll the ninth. Just like in real baseball the game is over and the dice can hit the showers.

Batting is pretty simple. Each team gets to start their half of an inning by rolling the dice once. If the two die total an even number then they can roll again. That is because even dice totals equal one single. An even dice total will be one of the following combinations; 1+3=4, 1+5=6, 2+4=6, 2+6=8, 3+5=8, 4+6=10. If the next roll yields an even number then there has been another hit. Now in baseball terms this means that there are, two men on base. The rolling player now gets a third roll. As you can see where this is going, another even number means that the bases are loaded. A fourth consecutive even dice result will bring home the first run and each consecutive roll will continue to bring home runners until the roller finally rolls an odd dice total.

Any odd dice total represents the end of an inning. Thus, if a player rolls an odd number on his first roll, then that inning is over. The odd dice totals are as follows; 1+2=3, 1+4=5, 1+6=7, 2+3=5, 2+5=7, 3+4=7, 3+6=9, 4+5=9, 5+6=11. A really cool thing to do during this game is to see if you can get a no-hit game. You can do this by simply putting a dot in the innings that a player rolls an odd number. You can start this on their initial first inning roll. Each consecutive inning thereafter that the player continues to perform a first odd roll continues the no-hitter up until the player finally rolls an even number. If they fail to roll at least one even number in nine innings that means you pitched a no-hitter. Time to call Cooperstown!

So where are the homeruns? I bet you are glad that I asked. Any time a player rolls a double-dice roll, he has hit a Homerun! That is all that it takes; doubles aka, two of a kind. Better yet, if there are any men on base then they score with the homerun. Yes, with the bases loaded a homerun is a grand slam.

This is an example of how the baseball game can be played. Let us say the visitors roll a 2+3 on his initial first inning roll. The visitors inning is considered over and with no hits. The home team rolls a 4+6 (10) on the first roll. That represents a base hit or one man on base. The home player then rolls a 3+5 (8) thus getting a second man on base. Then he rolls a 1+4 (5). The inning is over. End result of the first inning is 0 to 0.

The visitor starts his second inning with a pair of threes (3+3). Boom, he hit a homerun. He then rolls a 2+5 (7), which means the inning is over. The visitor has scored a run in their half of the second and leads the game, 1 to 0. The home team starts with a 2+4 (6) single. Then on the next roll the home player rolls a pair of fours (4+4). The home player has hit a two run homerun since there was a man already on base. The next roll is a 3+4 (7) out and that ends the second inning with the home team ahead, 2-1.

Now for the rest of the game neither team scores again until the ninth inning when the visitor strings together six consecutive even numbers before rolling the inevitable odd number. That means the visitor scored three runs and now leads the game, 4-2. Then the home team follows with three consecutive rolls of doubles (homeruns); which means they won the game, 5-4. What a comeback!

If the score ends in a tie after nine innings then just keep playing one inning at a time until someone finally wins. That is what baseball calls, extra-innings. In the next article I will attempt to teach you about the college basketball dice games. Till then, keep on rolling.

Introduction to the Game of Carrom

February 25, 2010 / coklat posted in Hit Man / No Comments

The game of Carrom, often described as finger billiards, is an indoor game played on tabletop. This game has a strikingly similarity with other table top games like table shuffleboard and billiards. The details about the origin of this game is hazy although some sources claim this game of Carrom has an Indian origin, while others say that it has a Chinese origin.

The basic item needed to play a game of Carrom is plain plywood board which is square in shape and about 74 centimeters or 29 inches. The playing board is framed on all four sides with wood bumpers. Here unlike balls used in billiards, wooden disks are used. The disks are called as Carrom coins or Carrom Men. There are four different color coins – black, white, red and a striker. The aim of the game is to strike the coins with the help of the striker and push them to fall into the corner pockets. The red colored coin is called the ‘queen’. Carrom can be played with two to four players.

A carrom-man is a usually wooden or sometimes plastic, uniform small disk. The Carrom-men have a smooth movement in a flat position on the surface of the carrom board when hit by a striker of standard specification. The carrom-men traditionally come in two colors – black and white – denoting the two players or in doubles play, the opposing teams. The opener always plays white. An additional, special carrom-man is colored red and called the “queen”. The accepted specifications for Carrom Men are – diameter of not more than 3.18 cm and no less than 3.02 cm, and thickness must be between 7 mm and 9 mm, with a weight of 5 to 5.5 g.

The dimensions of the queen must be the same as those of the other carrom-men.The queen is the most powerful carrom piece and usually red in color. It is placed at the center of the circle. If a player wins the board with the queen, this adds five queen points to the player’s total score. A player pockets the queen and to cover it provided a carrom-man of the player’s own has already been pocketed.

The striker is a larger and relatively heavier disk, flicked with the finger to hit the carrom-men and knock them into the corner pockets. The striker has to be smooth and round, with a diameter not more than 4.13 cm. Its weight should not be more than 15 grams.

High quality powder, most commonly boric acid powder is used on the board to enable the pieces to slide easily. In the UK and other European countries, many players use a version of spray powder from the printing industry which is made from pure, food-grade vegetable starch.

The rules of the game are promulgated by the India-based International Carrom federation. The organisation also ranks players, sanctions tournaments and presents awards, and has many international affiliates.

The aim of the game is to pocket one’s own nine carrom men before one’s opponent pockets his. However, before sinking one’s final carrom man, the queen must be pocketed and then “covered” by pocketing one of one’s own carrom men on the same or subsequent strike. Fouls, such as crossing the diagonal lines on the board with any part of one’s body, or potting the striker, lead to carrom men being returned to the board. The player is allowed to shoot with any finger, including the thumb known as thumbing.

Dkoldies Epic Tale of Where They Get All Those Classic Video Games

February 15, 2010 / coklat posted in Hit Man / No Comments

Everyday we are asked this question. I will tell someone what I do for a living and the first question is always, “but where do you get all this stuff”. To be honest I could never tell them the truth because they would never believe me and I was always scared of ridicule. I would always tell them I had wholesalers or I bought stuff on the Internet or garage sales. This would always hold them off long enough for me to change the subject to their job or family. After years of keeping this secret I am finally ready to spill the beans of how I get thousands and thousands of rare classic Nintendo Video games everyday.

It all started one day I was lost in my back woods about 7 years ago. My dog had run off and would not come back so I had to go in after him. I never walked in my woods before because of all the pricker bushes, they were everywhere. This time I decided to suck it up, stop being a puss and go get my stupid beagle.

It was late fall and most of the leaves were off the trees, I could see out pretty far but there was no sign of him. I stopped yelling because he is obviously not listening anyway and I felt it would be better to listen for the jingling on his collar. I walked about 2 miles out and still no sign of him. I could no longer see my house and I got turned around a few times so I didn’t really know if I had been walking in circles or not. I think I heard the old saying about someone who gets lost a lot that “he could get lost in his own back yard” or something like that. Well here I am lost in my own back yard.

Anyway, back to the story. I was lost in the woods looking for my stupid dog who was probably at home by now sipping tea and eating out if the butter dish. I had just decided to turn what i thought was back when I heard a noise. It was a loud, not thunderous mind you just a loud sound of someone that was all pissed off. It was a strange sound to hear out in the woods with no one around for miles. I followed the sound to a small clearing and a hole in the ground. A light shined out of the hole and the sounds were definatley comming for in there. I yelled down, I said in my suttle yet soothing voice “Yo F*$^ers, what is going on down there?”. Now this is where things get nuts so just stay with me. I hear a rumbleing down there and stuff comes flying out of that hole like a grenade just went off. And out of the whole come this… Now your gonna ask me if I’m serious and yes I am dead serious so don’t question it. Okay, out of the whole comes a giant “Frog Man”. Yes, a Frog Man, he had legs and sneakers like a man and actually everything else was like a man but he just looked like a Frog and I thought it would be cool to say a giant Frog man came out instead of some crazy dude that sorta looked like a frog. So, you were right to be skeptical. Here is a studio photo of him:

So, to finish up. The crazy giant old Frog man guy comes out of the whole and laughs at me. I compose myself and say “Listen dude, I’m sure your just lost or something and if you want to hang here a while with your frog wife and kids its cool, but I need you out of here by night time or I’ll call the cops.” He laughs again and says, and this I will never forget because it changed my life forever. He said, “never forget this moment because it will change your life forever.”, and he was right because it did and I didn’t. He took me down the hole, and oh when a giant frog man beast in your back yard woods comes out of a hole I do not suggest going down there with him. Actually I do but my lawyers said I have to have that disclaimer in so kids don’t follow and Frog men down holes.

Down in the hole he showed me what all the fuss was about. He took me down a long corridor, we had to be like 30ft below the surface because my ears were popping and my ears always pop at like 30ft. I know this from my previous deep sea adventures but that another story for another time. So, down the corridor we come to a room and there is a hole in this room that my new frog man friend tells me goes on almost forever. He tells me that whatever I wish for will fill this hole to the top. He said he has been here for 17,000 years using up the contents of this hole and it is now time to leave. Normally most people would not belive this story from the Frog man and call the cops and leave, but I being in similar situations believed this guy right away.

This was easy, I had one wish and I could fill this crazy giant hole with whatever I wanted. When I was a kid I thought if I had a million dollars I would buy as many 1 cent gum balls at the grocery store gumball machine and just lay around in them eating gumballs all day. But those are dreams of children, so I wished for the hole to be filled with old school Nintendo and other various Classic Video Games Games and systems and stuff like that. At that moment the hole was overflowing with video games and systems from all consoles. Super Mario 3, Contra, Megaman 1 through 6, Chrono Trigger and more. Every game system and controller filled in a hole in my back yard deep withing the woods. As soon as this happened the frog man slapped me in the face and said I am a F(*&ing idiot, something about human kind and mortallity and all that but all I was thinking about was playing Double Dribble and hitting threes all day long. I was like “Don’t judge me Frog”, what did you wish for? He said he had wished for love, peace and to be one with all that is and ever will be to be filled in that whole and he has spent all his days of those 17000 years in it. I laughed and said I think we both know who came up with the better wish. He smacked me again but I let him because he was old and looked like a frog. As I left to go back home I hired the frog man to work for me and we started www.DKOldies.com an online Classic Video Game store that has every game you could wish for, literally.

Now even though the Frog man died days later from being over 17,000 years old, he did leave me with dream of froggy goodness for all mankind. Before he took his last breath he did agree that this wish was good and that www.DKOldies.com would be good wishes and cheer to all that took a visit and this was also good. Come visit www.DKOldies.com and see for yourself, if you would like to sell your games please goto our site and send us an email.
