Dark Alliance 3's Story - Does Snowblind Own the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance

Well, I don't know the full story but I am going to give you what I know. Its codename was Project Joe Jackson minus the Joe.

In Dark Alliance II: Karne was looking to get the artifacts before the Harpers were. However, when the Harpers got the artifacts, Karne found out that somebody was spying on them and learned of Mordoc's plot. Now Mordoc wanted the Onyx Tower reactivated because he would be the only person who could enter it (He just had to add Mordoc's Gate to the tower) for his allies in the East. Now, Keep of Pale Night is located in the Battle of Bones. So that gives you Cormyr, not evil, Dalelands, Zhentarim controlled, Mordoc's enemies. If you go far enough east in 3E Forgotten Realms, you will get Mulhorand. In the Keep of Pale Night, skeletons come out of Sarcophagi, Egyptian themed. Mulhorand is also Egyptian themed. At the very end, it is confirmed, Mordoc's leader is a Pharoah God-King from Mulhorand.

He tells his cleric/or priest to ready the Tomb Soldiers and his Sun-Barge to invade Baldur's Gate and destroy the city for the sake of the Pharoah God-King's Sacred Mission. Now what could these Tomb Soldiers be? Probably just a whole bunch of those skeletons you see in the Keep of Pale Night but in greater numbers and possibly magic (Cant have a Faerun game without magic right?) Sun-Barge, this gives you few hints, other than he could be part of the Mulhorandi Pantheon, not likely, or an enemy of theirs, likely. Sacred Mission - Panago Pizza.

Now, like I've said before. I've tried to find out information on this canceled game's story. Its just not happened. Although, Chris Taylor did tell me it was in works at a time, he did not know the story or how far into development it was.

I have not read it all. But I think it means that Snowblind had the rights to make a Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance game or just a Dark Alliance game (No Forgotten Realms at all) for a time, but they were not able to and in late 2007, the rights went back to Interplay. I'll update this more later.

Online Multiplayer in Prototype 2?

Ken Rossman recently stated that there would not be any online multiplayer in Prototype 2. I, however, found two job offers (non-valid now) that said that Radical was looking for online programmers. They could be making an online mode for their next Crash game, this would not make sense as on facebook Radical Entertainment posted that Crash is at HQ, meaning that Activision is choosing how Radical makes Crash right now, and that they are working solely on Proto2. So, is there online multiplayer like Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, or not?

Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance III was in the works!

Well after asking Christopher Taylor about the story of DA3. He told me that he did not know the story and did not know who to contact. Therefore I told him to ask Herve or Eric Caen, or just look through Interplay's records. He did, however, tell me that the game was in the works at one time.

Now, in December 31st Ballerium was canned. So they likely started work on Dark Alliance 3 after that in 2005. It was probably about 25 % done when Interplay canned Dark Alliance 3 as they were not able to fund the game. Interplay themselves were likely developing the game and not Black Isle Studios as Black Isle's last game came out after the company's closure.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

This is not Call of Duty anymore. So why keep the title? People only refer to it as Modern Warfare 3. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is way to lengthy of a title. I mean honestly, way too long. Keep it short and succinct, Modern Warfare 3 works out just well.

Please, update the graphics. I do not want the same shit from Infinity Ward three straight games in a row. Now that there are three development teams, add all those Battlefield 3 features, you've got more than enough coders. Now do not give me a response, Infinity Ward, saying that it takes time and money. After Black Ops and Modern Warfare 2 launches, Activision has a shitload of money. Time, you have like twenty coders on your team Infinity Ward! Forty if you count the ones from Raven Software! Sixty if you count the ones from Sledgehammer Games!

Or, how about you get your ass over and back to ID Tech. That trash is way better than the IW Engine. The Frostbite Engine pwns all your motherfucking asses.

I wont buy the game but I will rent it to see the ending of the storyline and its other features.

WWE RAW 2011 Vancouver Review

This was awesome. Fricking awesome. First off, I don't care what people say. It's not fake. Yes, it's fake as in matches are predetermined and so is what they are supposed to do. But they do hit each other. WWE Wrestlers actually hit each other. I had front row seats I saw everything. The punches were real and unless you have padding under your skin, you can't fake a slam. And then Sheamus, really pale dude. Got hit in the back with a Cindo Stick that broke and you could see a red mark across his back. What would have made this event even better, if The Rock was there. But of course he's filming like ten movies right now and doesn't wrestle any more. And no I'm not reviewing the Diva's matches.

Match One: Daniel Bryan vs Tyson Kidd: I didn't get why everyone was cheering for Bryan. Kidd's the Canadian. Well this match was for the United States Championship so that made it a little enticing. But it was an overall good match. They're both brawlers so it's interesting to see how this would go. While Kidd held the advantage in the beginning, a fatal mistake made things shif to Daniel Bryan where things shifted for basically the rest of the match except for one small moment where Kidd got the advantage. Brayan wins but Kidd had a good run. But personally I would have chosen David Hart Smith for this. But the match was still awesome as Hell!

Primo Colon vs Zack Ryder in a Sing-Off: Well this was interesting. Zack Ryder sung the Star Sprangled Banner or however you spell it. In Canada. But it's okay because he replaced every word with Woo Woo and Woo. And then Primo sung salsa before beating up Zack Ryder.

David Hart Smith vs The Referee vs Ted Debiase in a Dance-Off: Well first Ted Debiase did some perverted dance that was funny and then Dave did a weird dance nobody's ever seen before, it's funny, and then the referee did a hip-hop dance that was humerous and won the competition.

Match Two: Dave Smith vs Ted Debiase well after the Dance-Off, they had a match. A very good one by the way. I would have replaced Dave Smith with Tyson Kidd for this one. But it is still very good. In fact it was neutral alsmost all the way until the end when Dave Smith did the superplex on Ted Debiase. When that happened you knew that Dave Smith was going to win. And during the match Debiase got a microphone and said: "I Hate This Country!" His girlfriend Maryse, a Canadian, came out and sat on Justin Roberts lap made Ted jealous and then Dave Smith wins.

Match Three: Santino Marella and Vladmir Kozlov vs The New Nexus well this match was funny and Kozlov is huge. I mean he's a giant. First off Santino started and tagged into Kozlov who was beating up the Nexus until Santino screwed him. This match was for the tag titles by the way. After Santino screwed Kozlov for the rest of the match Kozlov was getting beat up until he tagged into Santino who did the Cobra for the victor, I'm proud of this Canadian man.

Match Four: CM Punk vs Mark Henry well first off, CM Punk came in saying Canada sucked. Everyone booed him and he shut up. Then he said he had the best hair in the WWE, best looks, was the fastest and was the strongest. This provokes Mark Henry who says Canada rocks and challenges CM Punk. And Punk does quick swift dodges and top rope moves to take down this huge guy. And then Punk manages to take down Mark Henry for the victory. But he definately got hurt. And then when Henry is leaving the ring, he looks at me for five seconds and leaves. Doesn't shake my hand.

Match Five: King Sheamus vs John Morrison that's right folks and in a Stree Fight. Well it wasn't in the streets but used street weapons. This match was awesome. Especially since they showed all of their raw power before bringing out the Cindo Stick. They both hit eachother with the Cindo Stick for a long while until Joh Morrision hit King Sheamus in the back with the Cindo Stick and it broke. And you could see a big red mark. Sheamus then brought out a chair to smash John Morriosn with, but Morrison turned it around and hit Sheamus with the chair. Then in a tribute to the Vancouver Canucks, Morrison won the match after smashing Sheamus with a Hockey Goalie Stick.

Main Event: Randy Orton vs The Miz that's right and for the WWE Championship. Randy Orton and the Miz fought neutrally unitl stupid A-Ri  would interfere and hit Orton. And then when the match reached out of the ring Orton smashed Alex Riley into the the steel steps. And guess what happened before that, Randy Orton hit the Miz with the RKO and A-Ri pulled the Miz's leg onto the rope. And then Orton got ready to punt the Miz and the stupid Nexus interfered. And CM Punk tried to punt Randy Orton who reversed it and RKO'ed all of the Nexus. And then I got to shake his hand. So all you noobs got poned.
