For Now, Goodbye?

I didn't want to have to do this, but I'm leaving this blog at the moment. 

One might think, "Why are you leaving, because it's easy to post four articles a day!", but that's not it at all. I want to expand this blog, but it's not going to happen. I've tried forming teams, but nobody is interested. Doing this by myself is no fun anymore, because I want to see other consoles mentioned here too. Also, I don't have an audience either, which makes me feel hollow. 

For now, Gaming Controls is going to be left in the dust. Just like Mocha Mariners, just like Southside Sluggers, and just like Cut The Curse. Seriously, I'm such a terrible blogger. You might as well just ditch the next blog I do, because I might leave that floating in the air as well. 

PSN Is Back Up (Link to Polygon Article)

Well thanks alarm clock for not going off this morning. You had me quickly write an article before I showered, take a shower, get bothered by a texting conversation from a buddy (Dude we could just talk about Daughtry later! Gaming Controls comes first!), and rush to eat a bowl of cereal (while watching a video on a physco kid crying over video games being smashed by his dad). Seriously, I tip my cap (Mariners hat duh) to you alarm clock for making me type from my phone. 

Well here's what I'm going to leave you all with. An article on PSN being recovered after the DDos attack. You can just thank me later for not getting up early. It's probably my fault anyhow.  

(Polygon is one of my favorite gaming sites, so I hope you enjoy their content too.)

Rocksmith Is Tuning Into the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4

For those looking to learn how to play guitar or bass, Rocksmith on current-gen systems might be just what you need when it's released.

Over the weekend, the ESRB and Korean Game Rating Board both issued ratings for the game. According to PlayStation Lifestyle, the games have also showed up on UK retailer Zavvi, and in July was on an Amazon Italy listing. The Amazon Italy listing also noted that in the game players can transfer all their purchased DLC from the last-gen games to the current-gen games. Despite all the listings and news about the game, Ubisoft hasn't announced the game on their end yet.

Rocksmith is a musical game that allows gamers to use a real guitar or a real bass, and learn how to play them through the game. So far, there have been two games released in the series: Rocksmith and Rocksmith 2014 Edition.

PlayStation Home to Shut down in Asian Territories

PlayStation Home, which was launched as Sony's clone of Second Life, is now shutting down in Japan and Asian territories on March of 2015. 

Home began beta testing in 2008, and has been a broadcast location for Sony's press conferences and special events. The service is free-to-play, but the items that can be used cost money. Speaking of the items, none will be sold anymore after September 24, 2014.

So far, it has not been announced that Home will shut down in North America and Europe.

Get All the Loot With the Far Cry 4 Kyrat Edition

(Far Cry 4 Kyrat Edition Promo from Gamestop)

Once again, another collector's edition has been announced for a video game. But this time it's for Far Cry 4.

For those who insist on purchasing the $129.99 Kyrat Edition of Far Cry 4, you get a wide array of items. Along with the Limited Edition of the game (every other copy of Far Cry 4 becomes a Limited Edition with a pre-order), you get three bonus missions and a harpoon gun. Now for physical items buyers receive a figurine of the villain Pagin Min seated on an elephant throne. (the statue is 7.9 inches if you're so obsessed about it's height), a 16.5 x 30 inch Pagan Min propaganda poster, a travel journal, a map of the Himalayan open-world of Kyrat, and an exclusive collector's box. If you want more stuff, just pre-order the game from Gamestop to receive the Driller Machine Gun.

Far Cry 4 is an open-world first-person shooter, and it's pretty similar to this article. In the game you can do whatever you want basically, which is what I can do in this piece. The player plays a guy name Ajay Ghale (what kind of name is that?), who is traveling to Kyratt to fulfill his mother's dying wish. When Ghale arrives to Kyratt, he finds himself caught up in a civil war to overthrow the dictator Paga Min (wow this guy must be popular! I've talked about him three times already.). When Far Cry 4 is released on November 18, 2014, just pick up the game, and have a fun time (hopefully you do because it costs $60).
