Video Game Venn Diagrams

Made these for a Cracked Photoplasty. I thought I'd stick them all up on here since only a couple (if any) might place. (Hit the jump to see all of them.

Classic Venn plots.

I Stabbed Him, Then I Stabbed then I...

After playing for a meager (in Skyrim time) 12 hours I've realized that the world Bethesda has created is so vast that I could probably create a blog solely covering my play experience and Skyrim related stuff. I've decided I am going to post about it again when I start the main quest line.

I'm going heavy armor/ two-handed and using conjuration (necromancy) to become the Lich King of ~~Skyrim~~ New Northrend. I have been enjoying my play time but first two criticisms, the default UI sucks, it sucks hard, changing weapons and into magic is clunky and breaks game flow horribly, take a lesson from Bioshock guys. (Thank god for modders) The game also has finishing blow animations (which I really think games need to stop), I understand the theory. It is supposed to spice up the game and give you that sense of badassery whenever you land a fatal blow on an opponent. The VATS system in the new Fallout games were downright fatiguing in this way. (A raider's head flying off his shoulders is hilarious, but somewhere around the 50th time it just loses something). Skyrim tries to address the issue by putting in a few different finishers, however my character obviously has a favourite. I took a few screenshots to illustrate this.

The pointy end goes in.

Here is hoping this is something that can and will be modded.

Till the next post.

Abstracted Sailor Moon Poster Images

I do not have a lot to say about these. I was playing with some filters on photoshop and made them on a whim. It only too me 45 minutes or so in total (they're mostly just made from filtering images). Sailor Moon and Samurai Pizza Cats, introduced me to the world of Japanese animation. Anyway I just wanted to make something simple and colourful highlighting the characters. Hit the jump to see all 6 (the Sailor Scouts, Sailor Moon, and my favourite villain).

This Week in the Chop: Obama and George RR.

I started this week a little sad. Kotaku's contest judges don't share the same sense of humour as me. I had to rethink how I approached their contest this week. I dropped subtlety and went for very visual jokes. Cracked.com didn't have topics I could get into this week (it's been awhile to be honest, I'm much more into video game and movie topics.) Hit the jump to see the shops.

DCU Online: Playtime

Sadly due to circumstances beyond my control I lost my screenshots with the now departed Herr Mummy. This is ok, my existence as the ancient Egyptian crime fighter was short and brutal. I made the grevious mistake of rolling on the PvP server. The PvP play experience can be summed up with the following equation; Player 10 levels above you + Flight = dropping dead 5 times before finishing the 2nd quest.
So I dusted poor Herr Mummy and made a new character.

He's just the right kind of 8-bit cute.

MGD Caption Contest

A challenge from Maxwell!

Let's say I put a picture up, and we find out who can make up the best caption for the picture. Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

Me and Tylorp thought up some quick captions for this sample pic:

And I'll be godamned if that walrus wasn't the best
damned floutist I had ever heard.

Roger was always jealous that Mr. Tusks was first oboe.

Let's see shamoo top this!

"Play Free Bird!"

How come I always have to be the egg man?

You get it.

Hit the jump for the much more video-game related picture after the jump, and start making your captions. You have one week to enter as many as you like, or as much time as you want.

Monster Dash and Axe Cop

Today will just be a quick post about the two things that stole my evening away from Skyrim, Monster Dash and Axe Cop.

Tools of the Trade: Research for Fun and Savings (Profit?)

So, as was shown before, the jaded man-child that is theperrysaurus typecasts himself pretty hard.

Exhibit A (the only one that matters):

Original Ninja Info Via Nintendo Power

Was going through some old Nintendo Power Magazines yesterday (looking for Nintendo Player's Challenge's) and realized there is a lot of stuff that needs to be brought back. So I scanned a sweet "Infographic" from the Ninja Gaiden II edition of Nintendo power. I edited for a more friendly web format. Enjoy. Hit the jump to get your learn on about ninjas.

Gaming Necromancy: Yu-Gi-Oh Dungeon Dice Monsters

So I ended up at the gaming store around home (it's called Wilkies' Wonderful World, it recently relocated closer to Lunenburg). While looking for sleeves I managed to find something quite surprising. Most people will scoff, but I assure you this one item is surprisingly good for where it comes from. This is the item in question:

This Week in the Chop: Tats of the Old Republic

This week I only made three photoplastys for cracked. I ended up with two placings. I just discovered Kotaku holds a weekly shop contest. Here is this weeks.
