The Life Of Deaf Gamer: Hello (Introduction & NOBYNOBY BOY)

Thought I'd start up a public blog because, well, why not? Here, I'm going to - yeah you guessed from the title of the blog - talk about videogames, one of my hobbies.

And I'm also deaf gamer, to boot. So not only you get to hear (or should that be read? Ha! Shit joke) opinions from a gamer, you get to read deaf gamer's P.O.V of the games! Exiciting, no?

...No? Oh well.

Anyway, thought I'd start this blog off with Noby Noby Boy, which has just recently released on Playstation Network, for £3.19 - basically, the developers who are behindNoby Noby Boy is also known for their recent games, Katamari where you play as this little guy rolling the ball picking up stuff, which is addicative & fun.

However, as much as wacky Katamari games are, you don't see it all unless you play Noby Noby Boy. It's really, really.....wacky, to say at least. Basically, you take control of BOY, stretching him by controlling his upper body & lower boy with two analog sticks, eating stuff (including people) to fatten to help NNB to stretch more & eat bigger stuff....and you keep stretching, so you can help GIRL - whom can't do all the stretching (probably her excuse - forcing BOY to do all of her work. Poor BOY) - by reporting to Sun, and if you do this you'll be also helping other people to reach new worlds, which means new maps for you to mess around in.

There's no goal, you can just keep stretching.... at first I thought it was pretty... disappointing, at least. However once I just play it more and more it becomes one of addicative games I've ever played in my life, on PS3 that is. There's always been moments where it made me giggle like idiot, basically knocking over a guy and chasing him all over map via "Pac-Man NOMNOMNOM" style. When it doesn't seem there's much to do, you do not need to make sense out of it, because after few hours, I still don't get it unlike Katamari series, it's that wacky. The camera is huge issue in this game, but after while you do get used to it...I do wish it'd be better, it got me felt annoyed on few moments when I was stretching it'd be centering to middle of body - which is annoying especially if you're trying to just have highest stretching BOY without shrinking him. Other than that though, the game plays very well.

Seriously, if you are Playstation 3 owner, and you'd like a game that allows you to relax, stretching BOY all day when laughing at little stuff that happens in the game......go to PSN store, add £5 to your wallet & buy it. It's only £3.19, when there's no demo version of it (yet), isn't that much, so if you don't like it..you won't be wasting alot of money anyway..and if you do, great! Help other BOYs to grow GIRL some more, and reach new planets and all that. Go and do that now.

Oh, also, forgot to say... with recent PS3 firmware, it allows you to upload Youtube videos from your PS3 to your YT account, which is one of my favourite features - and Noby Noby Boy is first one that takes advantage of this feature. Here's my videos if you want to see:
