it's all fun and games until I pull up with THIS abomination.
no, there was no specific reason on why I did this. I just thought it would be funny

DiRT 3 Brain rot
I usually do not post on this account unless I am posting a larger post, but I am hyperfixating on a game called DiRT 3.
Brief context
DiRT 3 was made in 2011 for the Xbox 360, Ps3 and PC by codemasters and it was removed off of steam in 2017 presumably to expired car licenses. And codemasters was acquired by none other than EA in 2021.
I got reminded that i had the game by a song that sounded similar to the DiRT 3 OST and so I listened to the DiRT 3 OST on spotify and I just fucking had to play it again, that was yesterday, or technically two days ago, it is fucking midnight but I must rave on about this fucking game, and today or technically yesterday I got the steam key as I wanted to play it with Jolly and Beeeq.
THERE WERE PEOPLE JOINING OUR LOBBY
a game that has been out for over a decade, removed off steam, has players in 2023. I mean people talk about how DiRT 2 was great and how DiRT 4 and DiRT 5 suck ass which to my knowledge do. but holy shit. And this shit does not look like a fucking Ps3 game I mean it's litearly fucking better than the sequels? it's 6GB and the complete edition was like 2,50€ something on G2A I saw in Google you can get it for free but my fucking download paranoia says eat pant and so getting the steam key was the best option.
GET THE GAME.
rant over~
Well played Xbox...
For years have I wondered if the game was real or not, and I'm still unsure if it is, so I thought I'd come here, in hopes I'm not the only person thinking about this game.
The game is certainly not Minecraft and I have large reason to believe that it's not Castle Miner; That reason is simply because of online play and the fact that you're able to carry weapons (like guns) and there are all sorts of monsters, like dragons and zombies.
The game I remember had many different blocks than Minecraft, it had realistic textures on every block, and there was never any sort of animals or other creatures around, but sadly that is the most I can remember.
If it helps any, I grew up on Xboxes, we had the original Xbox, Xbox 360, and the Xbox 1, no Playstations, so any Playstation exclusive games are out of the question.

The dialogue options in Mass Effect seem to get really freaky when on a Renegade playthrough.
Games I Played in 2010...
After a brief look through this page, I decided to do my own mini review of the games I played that were released this year... 'cause I can...
Dark Void (Xbox 360)
I must admit that I was somewhat skeptical of this game when I first bought it (I got it second hand on a whim) but after a bit of play, I really enjoyed it. Something about this game screams low production values - some of the controls are somewhat clunky and the graphics aren't exactly up to scratch, however the flying mechanics are this game's saving grace, making the whole affair seem intuitive and fluid without being overly complicated.
Mass Effect II (Xbox 360)
I got ME2 with my '360 and it seems to be one of the games I keep coming back to. I'm a huge sci-fi nerd and this game just has everything I want. The graphics look smooth and realistic and the game play manages to be fast paced whilst staying laid back and enjoyable with a very engaging story.
Star Trek Online (PC)
As I said before, I'm a sci-fi nerd, primarily star trek but I've never before been able to really enjoy a star trek themed video game, their lack of production values has tended to destroy any immersion that I might have felt. While the ground segments of this game felt unwieldy and awkward, the space segments more than made up for this short-coming and kept me immersed and lost in the endless nerdgasm that this game rightfully induces.
Sims III (PC)
While not actually released in 2010, the awkwardly titled 'high end loft stuff' expansion was released in february. While the Sims III certainly brought a lot of extra features from the Sims II, it did regress in quite a few key areas. For a start the whole game feels heavy and sluggish when compared to the ballerina that was the Sims II - the loading screens grate on the nerves and it just doesn't feel as fluid as its predecessor. Admittedly a lot of the missed features will probably be crowbarred in via expansion pack, however until that happens and the game loses a few pounds in the process, I'll stick with the sims 2.
Formula 1 2010 (Xbox 360)
Being an avid formula 1 fan and a recent 360 convert, I couldn't resist buying this game, for once I actually paid full price on the day of release - so eager was I to get my hands on this game. And for once I found very little to be disappointed about. The graphics looked fantastic, nearing a level of photo realism that certainly impressed. The weather effects too are amazing with dynamic weather meaning that no two races will be the same. I wasn't impressed with the rule enforcement mid race, meaning that certain accidents that are infact the fault of the AI cars are treated as though they were deliberately instigated by the player. All in all though I have enjoyed this game, though there is perhaps a touch too much of a role-play aspect, this is a small price to pay for a fantastic F1 sim.
Smackdown vs Raw 2011 (Xbox 360)
Sadly I used to be a fan of this series but unfortunately it stopped being quite so fan after 2003 when it stopped being about gameplay and fun and turned into yet another way for the WWE to make money following the madden principle of keeping the core game exactly the same as it was the previous year, introducing a few peripheral components like some slightly different match types and then updating the roster to match the current year's crop. It was the stagnation of innovation in this series that made me stop buying them in 2008... unfortunately such is the draw of this series that it caught up with me this year when I bought '10 and then '11 - the only real reason I play these games now is in order to make my own characters and then match them up against each other... yeah... not really that good a reason to buy a game series, is it? I'll try and give smackdown vs raw 2012 a miss.
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (Xbox 360)
I must admit I have barely played this game as I was bought it for Christmas and haven't had much time to devote to it however I have watched my Girlfriend's sister play it quite a bit and the animation and attention to detail is fantastic, even aside from playing through the main story, the free-roaming sandbox aspect of renaissance Rome and the ability to dive from a roof top solely to end a guard's pixellated existence in a stylish and amusing fashion just never gets old.
Minecraft Beta (PC)
this song says it all, there are few words to describe the sandboxy awesomeness of this game, I doubt it will ever get old.
Scarily enough, that is all thus far, I still have a ton of games that I've bought and not played... I guess that'll have to be next year now :P

30-Day Video Game Music Challenge (Super Hard Mode) Day 2: Opening level music From Eschatos (Xbox 360, 2011)
This song sold me this game. I don't mind hearing it every time I have to start over. Super Hard Mode means this will be my only pick from any Xbox 360 game.
