EA, LucasArts and BioWare collectively hates Australia, Latin America and Asia…

Good news everyone! I just pre-ordered a copy of the Collector’s Edition of Star Wars: The Old Republic!

I’m sure everyone concerned has learned that only a list of 20 or so countries from North America and Europe get to pre-order the game and will be the first ones to have access to it while the rest of the world has to wait for an undisclosed period of time. After all these years, more waiting… but worse! A lot of people will be waiting while people from the luckier countries or people like me who pre-ordered copies from overseas get to play it while they don’t.

I’ve felt a disturbance in the Force. As if millions of voices cried out in unison…

It’s called being fashionably late, fuckface!

Oh hey, it almost slipped my mind that Twilight Lynk’s third anniversary had just come and gone… well, better late than never, I guess.

I won’t bother doing the whole No More Heroes style introduction like I did with last years entry and the first entry for the site and get straight to the point…

There’s actually two things to celebrate in this entry, the first being our third anniversary, the second thing being that the The Nintendo Wii U tablet controller needs some changes entry was our 100th entry since Twilight Lynk began.

Ow, my spleen!

The Nintendo Wii U tablet controller needs some changes

I’m sure by the time Wii U launches some time in mid-2012 there’ll be a few design changes that were implemented since the big reveal during E3 2011.

However until that happens, it’s up to us to nitpick while we still can. In this entry I’m going to go into some detail on the U Controller’s features, what needs to change on the controller and why. Some of it will be things that are universally agreed upon, other things will by really nitpicky, but whatever.

This is a shop. I can tell by looking at the pixels…

E3 2011

Man, I’ve been as sick as a dog the last week which is why this entry is so late… You better be prepared to do a lot of scrolling cause just like last years entry, this one is going to be about as long as longcat… maybe even longer.

Actually, last year I mainly focused on which of the big three console manufacturers “won” E3. This year I’ve decided to post up two entries, one that will resemble the style of last years and another one focusing on all of the things that were shown off during the event that weren’t mentioned during press conferences for Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo. I want to give some love to the PC gamer fans out there too.

So, here we go…

Kinect me to your Vita for some Wii U… and more!

Game Spotlight: Duke Nukem Forever

There are very few people who thought this game would ever be released, and apparently there are plenty of people who never wanted this game to be released ever. Generally, the reviews posted about Duke Nukem Forever have been extremely negative, however I find it a little strange that some of the reviews I’ve read are talking about Duke Nukem being offensive in terms of his lack of political correctness rather than focusing on the flaws present within the gameplay itself.

With that in mind, I’m going to attempt to write up my own views of the game as a fan of Duke Nukem and as someone who has being enjoying video games over a period of 20+ years. Did Gearbox Software do the right thing in bringing Duke Nukem Forever back from the brink of death? How does Duke Nukem Forever hold up against Duke Nukem 3D? Will we see more of Duke or was this a one off event? Can I stop asking one question after another like an idiot?…

Political correctness is for pussies!
