Where have games gone wrong? Podcast 9 is here to explain!

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

Sometimes good games go bad.  No, not in a Will Smith “bad means good” kind of way.  We mean they suck.  In this week’s podcast the GNSU Crew has a round table discussion about some pretty awful entries in popular franchises.  Three words: Mario’s Time Machine.  Need we say more?

We also give our thoughts on the new TF2 update and Crackdown 2′s multiplayer components.

Got any feedback or questions for us? Hit us up on the contact page!

Videos relating to the podcast after the jump.

Good Grief: A brief break from E3

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Let’s take a brief break from E3 – shall we? I came into work today and sat down to go about my day with my iPod on shuffle to keep me from bludgeoning myself with a stapler when this gem came on:

what…a song from the SMASH 90′s hit family sitcom “Dinosaurs” it was none other than Baby Sinclair singing “I’m the baby, gotta love me…” etc.

How would something like this happen you ask?  Simple.

It’s all Arien’s fault…

Half Life 2 still getting updated, Valve is still kicking ass

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

This is the sort of reason we love Valve.

Years after release they’re still adding little touches to make their popular titles even better.  While they might be minor changes it still says a lot about Valve’s dedication to the people who matter most – the fans.  Aside from releasing Half Life 2 on the Mac platform a number of other changes have been made including:

-Achievements added to HL2

-Improved graphics in HL2 + HL2:Episode 1

-Some other things!

This is one of many things Valve has done to show how much they actually care, and to be honest the little things matter.  For instance: see here. We’ve had our own experiences with Valve, even.  When GNSU made a Team Fortress 2 munny we sent the images off to Gabe and Robin Walker who both answered the e-mail personally to comment that they enjoyed it.

While this post was meant to simply report on the HL2 update I did have to put it out there that Valve is pretty goddamn awesome.

And not Activision.

In other news I am starving.

Team Fortress 2 Heavy Munny

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

heavy1 copy

Here at GNSU we like to find creative ways to entertain ourselves when we’re not finding the latest information on your favorite (or least favorite) games.  So I decided to take a crack at making up a TF2 Heavy kidrobot Munny.

What are munnys?  They appear to be the former meathusks of alien babies sent to us to paint with glorious acrylics and make into our own earth trophies!

I purchased some supplies to paint my small alien child and make him into the angry Russian man he ought to be.

BABIES!!

BABIES!!

His head is HUGE. It is like a tiny giant babyhead.

I then began to paint the small alien child.  Thank God it was dead because it would be really creepy painting it if the thing were alive.

A big jump from the other picture but let's be honest, he looked weird naked.

I discovered that you do not need a primer for painting acrylic onto vinyl!   I was aware of this heading in but some idiot on the internet recommended doing it anyway.  Do not listen to idiots on the internet.  It is so much easier without the primer!

I was super excited! This was only two days in (I am very busy!!!!)

Okay, now we add a beard and a vest.  So exciting!

Okay, now we add a beard and a vest. So exciting!

Nearing completion I get very excited and decide to have several beers.  Horrible antics ensue and I  decide against documenting this portion of the process.  Moving right along…

Add some details and...

Add some details and...

IT IS DONE.  I still need to figure out how to fashion him a little Natascha but I think he’s pretty cool for the time being.  Sorry for any aliens we offended in the making of this TF2 Heavy.
