I have just completed the setup of the Terminus Est fantasy league!  All members of TEst and friends of TEst are welcome to join.

A bit about our league:

It is a head to head league with a live draft.  If you’re not available for the draft you can rank your desired players and the best available player on your list will automatically be drafted for you.  The date and time for the draft is set at August 23rd, 9pm Eastern time, but we can change that if it doesn’t work for people.

The buy-in is $25, which will go into a TEst account until we have a winner.  Four teams will make the playoffs, each of those teams is guaranteed their buy-in back, with the overall winner receiving more.  Obviously, the amount depends on how many teams we have. As it looks now, if we have a full league, the winner will be receiving $225. A small portion (looks to be about 7%) of the buy-ins are going into the TEst fund account to help with things like TEst FEst.

The points are totaled automatically by yahoo sports, so you don’t have to sit in front of the TV all day every Sunday obsessively tracking games.  Your biggest concern is the draft and starting the right players every week.  Also, trading is enabled for most of the season.

The league has room for 14 teams, and it’s first-come, first-serve.

I don’t think I’ve mentioned these guys, however… as many of us whom frequent TEst on a regular basis it should come to no surprise that we are a bunch of music lovers. Rock, Metal, so on and so forth.

As such, these guys deserve a plug. I’ve been listening to them for a few months as have a few others. Now, they have a tool bar so you can listen to them as often as you like. It installs as an addon right into your firefox browser, its easy to do, and you can listen to their tunes 24/7 on any webpage you browse.

Check it out here. They also have a DJ booth where you can request songs, which they plug on the radio fairly often. I encourage people to check it out and let them know where you are from.

So, today I’d like to take some time to talk about eRepublik and what we’re doing there. Some of you may know that TEst exists there and we’ve been growing steadily in the game. Join us over there by following this link.

Now, to talk about the game itself. Its a pretty neat game in my opinion, as it focuses mainly on politics, growing as a citizen of a nation, fighting in wars, and generally doing whatever you can to stay alive and working. There is a few tricks to this, and I’ll have a guide up shortly on our soon to be expanded forums.

as with most games, the most in depth and enjoyable part is that created by the players. You can become President of a nation, or congressman… so on and so forth. Which has given rise to ‘Blocs’ and some pretty intense propaganda and war. Mechanics wise, the game is pretty stable though slow to load in some parts.

They feature an in depth wiki which is under constant updates from players. a useful tool if you are looking for tips on how to get ahead, as well as a nice source of info.

Some of my favorite parts are the in game forums, as well as the ability to have a newspaper to publish articles for yourself, a party, or in general.

So, it’s 3:33 AM and I haven’t slept since I can remember. I’m a bit groggy, but also bored, and I just remembered I’m supposed to do something like this… So here we go. I will be doing the game review for this weekend. The title above says it all.

Game: Prototype (Available on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC)

Genre: Can’t really tell… or I can’t think of it due to lack of sleep, but I’d say an Action RPG. If I’m wrong, sue me.

Rating: M (Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Strong Language)

Publisher: Activision.

For those of you who haven’t even heard of this game, or have but have no clue what it is, let me give you some insight. Imagine taking Altair from Assassin’s Creed, giving him a black jacket instead of his white cloak, then giving him almost Spider Man like agility, along with some weaponry that remind me of God of War (Whipfist power) and Wolverine from X-Men (Claws power) and throwing that into the middle of a war torn New York City where the military is trying to kill you and an infection that is quickly taking over.

Now let’s get to the actual story.

You are Alex Mercer. You randomly wake up in a morgue, not having a clue how you got there or what’s going on, but you escape… only to be confronted with BLACKWATCH soldiers. Military soldiers who are trained specifically to take you down (a genetically altered human), along with the infection spreading throughout New York City. You quickly learn as you’re escaping the soldiers that you have special abilities and an excellent agility. Extremely high jumps. You’re quicker than any human. You can run up the walls of sky scrapers! And the juiciest part? You’re a shape shifter. You can call upon multiple powers to use, such as Whipfist, Claws, Hammerfist, Thermal Vision, Shield, and much more. After figuring out your powers, figuring out that you were used as a test subject against your will, and a few missions later, you finally confront with the infection, which leaves gooey patches like the Zerg across New York. Their tough Hunters and relentless numbers make them difficult to defeat, but enough patience and good planning (or dumb luck) and they will fall to pieces. Afterwords, you’re set out to do as you please as the game lets you roam NYC in an open-world experience so that you might kill with glee and cut people into bloody chunks, play through all of the side-missions and gain more EP (Evolution Points or E-Peen, as I like to call it) so you can upgrade and gain more abilities to cut people up with, or go straight through the campaign. It’s all up to you, just remember your one objective… Find the bastard that did this to you, and make him pay.

tl;dr: Run. Jump. Fly. Kill. Kill everything with awesome shape-shifting powers. The military thinks you’re the reason for the infection in NYC, so they will kill you on sight. The infection just doesn’t seem to like you or your jacket, so they will kill you on sight. Find and kill the bastard who made you like this.

I’m not lying.

Some may cry, however… this may be a good thing for the games we love. Both companies put out amazing games. Hopefully with the backing of a larger company, ID Software can expand like they claim and crank out some fucking amazing shit. On the flip side, Bethesda should be looking forward to a nice bump up in the graphics department.

Epic? Lets hope so.

Summer is here, and we’ve all got some free time to burn. As such, I’d like to get down to business with a few of you. No, not that kind of business. Lets play some games!

So, I’d like to hold a bit of a gaming contest. Let me know what games you have on steam, and if I have them… I’ll play you. 1v1. Why? Bragging rights. You know you want to be the one to say “Yep. I kicked Jodo’s ass.” Only thing is… can you do it?

So, for those whom accept the challenge, post up on here. No set times or anything as I’m not in a hurry to defend my crown. Whenever you have the time I’ll be here to kick your asses.

Just add me on Steam: Jodo195
Also, join our community on there. You’ll see the link right in my profile on steam.

Ello again my dear people, Gotooh here for another post \o/

Well I’ll get right to it. Overlord II is coming out in a few days and I just played the demo. I have to say that it is an awesome game, one that I will have to buy in….2 days. Sure it does seem like the first one, but there are some kick ass shit in here, like your minions can ride wolfs, kill seals, new units, kill seals, and you get to kill tons of cute animals.

I for one will be wasting my time killing the animals if you haven’t noticed, but I shall try my hardest at actually playing it right.

Also on another not, Steam games. I know some of you asshats have steam and are playing, I demand a friend invite and in return, I shall invite you to Terminus Est on steam. It’s not that I’m lonely, just need new peeps to play with, you know, new friends and all that shit. So come one, add Gotooh to your friends. It is the will of the Penguin Mafia (KoL shit)

For those whom witnessed the error and confusing front page, we have since corrected the problem at the source. It should not occur again.

Also, you may notice some of the graphics have been changed. This is because Phiney has been sacked in response to the sacking of our main page.

Ey you bastards, Gotooh again. That’s right, I’m making another post, but what for? Well, just to remind you all that we do have an IRC channel and that you should sign up on the damn forums. If you don’t, I heard Saeton (member) will find you then buttraep you. Also, he doesn’t use lube D:

So come on, what the fuck are you waiting for? get your ass on IRC and on the forums or you will be getting a visit from a buttraeping polarbear, and we know you don’t want that now don’t we?
