  TouchMaster 2 PsiPhiTy Gamestop Preview

  Some people are born with a gift, some with a curse. I was born with a little of both. My curse benig the ability to piss people off. I speak my mind, others take offense and the cycle goes on and on...ANYWAYYY I periodically put previews and Reviews on a few other sites and I have decided I will put the same oens ahere as well, making this a clearing houze for all of them over time. Here is a little BUZZ I wrote about TouchMaster (the first edition, meant to inspire people to get the TouchMaster 2 the sentiments are realistic for me btw. This is not meant as a full preview...

  TouchMaster 2

  Let this one touch YOU!

  With a great deal of doubt, based on the description of the First 'TouchMaster', I bough the first edition of this game... WOW. What appeared to be a casual game compilation of light fodder turned out to be a great group of about twenty or so games. Although you could easily play them without even thinking abut them, like doodling, with your attention divided between the game and something else, it promised so much more.

  Upon deeper consideration some of these games went as deep as a game of chess. There is a large variety and I would find it hard to believe that anyone could say there was not SOME game on it that grabbed their attention. It has a simple interface with a quick jump from turning on the DS to playing the games.

  IN fact, this compilation is a great reason to buy a DS lite in the first place if you do not already own one, as there are so many addictive games here, for every style and thinking depth.

  The instructions are simple two or three sentence ones, but that's all that's needed to jump right in. Don't let the apparent light-ness of the fare fool you though, these games have great depth as well. The last edition sported a Tournament mode where you uploaded your scores weekly and pitted them against your previous ones or the scores of a friend or just about anyone...Someone once .

  The same people who publish Touch Master 1 & 2 will be producing another game with a similar flavor called 'Mechanic Master' which I think you would be well advised to check out, if you find you enjoy the touchmaster type game compilations. Although it isn't a compilation it has a similar feel to it. Do You remember the board game Mouse Trap? Do you know what a Rube Goldberg is? if you have answered YES to either one of those questions, you owe it to yourself to get the game Mechanic Master Coming outh later this year. I will post a preveiw about it shortly.

  Have a great Day

  PsiPhiTy's Flog Blog CORRECTED...

  Tomorrow, I'm going to write a small review for Civilization Revolution on the DS and the Xbox 360. I just wanted to get that first post out there and actually find (on my screen) where the site blog was...

  Before we get started, be aware, that only nice people, people who are friendly are welcome here.

  I was getting out of high school before most of you were born, although there are a few of us older gamers out there/here. We started with games like pong, moving onto Pacman and so forth, many having been original Dungeons and Dragons players.

  Yet there are still pretweens, wet behind the ears, that think they invented gaming or that they know more than anyone else and then post a nasty reponse on a forum, hiding behind type written words because they really don't have the cahones in real life to say or do anything with the same conviction, knowing that in real life, they get their asses kicked for even coming close to having some conviction of character.

  What ever happened to being nice to people, giving them the benefit of the doubt and just saying something that can help someone? Everyone out there is so quick to hand someone there testicles in an effort to feel better about themselves by putting another person down. This, in my opinion and that of many others, is a false sense of security. It is in actuallity a brilliant show of INSECURITY, nothing more, nothing less.

  Many of these very same people will never make it to their next birthdays without having to take a drink of alcohol , get drunk or worse yet get high in order to quiet the voices in thier heads that keep telling them that they are really not that good and that someone else is better than they are, or knows more or is more deserving.

  Many of those very same people are creating patterns, habits, which will follow them all throughout thier lives, ruining any chances that might have previously resembled a sense of genius or ability.

  Get real people, words come from your mouth meaning NOTHING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, ZILCH, ZIP. yOUR ACTIONS MEAN SOMETHING, ACTUALLY, THEY MEANING ALMOST EVERYTHING. Show us how good you are by your deed, not relying on some 'bad words' that you copy, that millions of others ill-equipted like yourelf have also spoken in similar moments of weakness because you can't find the words. Be responsible for your actions. That means soemtimes saying "I'm wrong" or "I'm sorry" even if it's only in your own head that you admit it.

  Here's something new, try making a FRIEND, it's a lot harder and much more impressive than making an enemy, WHICH ANY WEAK WILLED LILLY LIVERED SELF PWNED INDIVIDUAL can do without even being awake.

  Want someone to respect you? Do something that deserves respect, something that earns it... if you really think you can! I doubt it...

  Now that I have successfully offended the (im)moral minority..and they are busy thinking an ill meant 'come back' to save thier mental stability which is at this very moment feeling attacked because they recognize some of themselves in what they have read... we can get on with some thing that makes us all feel better, not at anothers expense...

  Now that only the people who are looking for friends and good times.. are still here. let's get on with something fun like shootin' up something! Killing Somebody Yeahhhh!
