MasterAbbott

I’m Phil : but most people call me MasterAbbott. I’ve been a huge fan of gaming since the age of 3, when my dad bought me first ever gaming console: The CBS Colecovision.. The rival to the Atari 2600 at the time. The first game ever played on the CBS was a game similar to Pac Man called Mouse Trap, many hours were lost playing that great game. With my growing hunger for gaming I dont ever think I will ever tier of this amazing and enjoyable and hugely popular industry.

I believe I will always be a gamer till the day I die. I’m now in my mid 30′s .. (Yes Yes no old people jokes) .. Over the years of gaming I’ve come in contact with nearly every gaming console that was released in Australia, US and Japan .. I’ve collected and still have a fairly large assortment of old school games, consoles and arcade machines lying around the house. Oh and I’ve got at least two of the latest next gen consoles (yes I know I have major issues).

Three years ago I decided to express my passion to the world and create a Video Game / Entertainment site that covered everything that is video games/anime/technology and entertainment. Sharing the latest news, reviews and interviews from leading gaming developers on all platforms. Plus a whole lot of other weird and wonderful things.

We cover everything that is gaming and entertainment from the Xbox 360 all the way back to the Atari 2600.

If you find the stuff we do here enjoyable and entertaining subscribe to our official Twitter and also FACEBOOK page. We also have a very popular YouTube channel as well as a very informative and enjoyable weekly Podcast show.

All feedback is also greatly appreciated, email me at : info@capsulecomputers.com.au : I always reply to everyone. (even if its hate mail)

Thank you and welcome to Capsule Computers – Where Video Games Are Our Passion :)

And remember kids… PLAY HARD OR DON’T PLAY AT ALL!

Gamertag : Wolvespack88

Hello Everyone, the name is Travis. To say it simply, and currently am working on a degree in zoology, but on my off time I’m playing the Xbox 360, where you will find me at Wolvespack88. I’ve been playing games since I was 5 year years old and I first played a Super Nintendo system, and have played on every console since then. Occasionally I’ll take a break from the great games of today, to play some of the greats of gaming history. I play everything from console games to MMORPG’s. My favorite online game, is Ragnarok Online. Unfortunately I have never stepped foot into World of Warcraft, and I don’t have plans to. And to say the least there are many other great PC games.

I am a huge fan of achievements and will go out of my way in nearly any game to work on getting at least half of the achievments. The only time I don’t bother with them, is when they add together ridiculous amounts of online achievements for games that no longer have a following online. In other words, I am a major achievement w#$%^, though I do try to stay away from games that make easy 1k gamerscores.

I love games, so I decided to start reviewing games so I can share my thoughts with other gamers who are looking for whether or not they should give a game a try.

Gamertag : Discordman

Well, The name is Dustin and I am 22 years old and have been gaming for about 17 years. As a kid, I always ended up with hand me downs for systems, so I worked my way up from Atari from the get go in gaming. When it comes to games, I play it all. I look for unique, obscure games that nobody gives a chance because to me, finding a gem of a game is worth sifting through the bad or poorly designed. I don’t do system wars, as I think every system has it’s own pros and cons. I do remember banking in hours and hours playing Pokemon Red & Silver on my game boy, and hopping online for Socom and Smackdown vs Raw with my PS2 when online was new and exciting. Even now with Halo 3 and many other new titles. I never play online games to win though, just to kill time and meet some of the cool and insane people online. As the gaming industry evolves, excitement dies as fast as it grows, because of the next big thing is always right around the corner. Which is why I am with Capsule Computers, to be a part of the madness that is the industry and share some opinions of my own with all of you. Now by chance if you wanted to know anything else, catch me on twitter.com/discordman, my twitter is by no means pure excitement, but I will be keeping up to date with what I am playing, doing, twitter stuff, ect, ect ect.

Currently, I reside in a small town about 2 hours from Denver, Colorado. During the day, I work as a glazier and screen maker. At dusk, I transform into… a geek. With my dog as a sidekick, we do all sorts of things to make the world a better place. Whether that be making sure that at least one cat a day is chased, headshotting campers in Halo or reporting on the latest video game news, I like to think we make a small difference.

It was undoubtedly Star Wars which led to me to science fiction, science fiction to my love of technology, and technology to my obsession with video games. In addition to the aforementioned interests, I also enjoy the NFL (go Broncos!) and writing for the most awesome website ever.

Although I enjoy playing on my 360 the most, I will play nearly anything and find that I enjoy most every game. If you ever need someone to boost achievements with or discuss anything interesting, be sure to hit me up. I’m an advocate for online freedom, innovation and progress.

My names Luke, or perhaps you know me as The Future Frog, if you are one of my few friends on Xbox Live. I have been gaming my whole life, and been watching anime and reading manga almost as long. I’m what the blokes at school use to call a “geek”, I personally prefer “pop culture enthusiast”. Oh and before you ask, no I won’t date your daughter. I have a girlfriend and no she isn’t a character from that Love Plus game. But yes I am a “pop culture enthusiast”, and I swear I have never played Love Plus. If anyone tells you differently, make sure you ask them who told them because they are going to need an extra life once I find out. I’m Luke, keep on froggin!

Originally from Scotland but currently residing in Australia, I am a gaming/reading/movies nerd. My more practical geekery used to involve lots of anatomy and biochemical rubbish which I have since abandoned in favour of running around a cinema with a feather duster, making popcorn, and then cleaning it up again later.The moose-related thing is a nickname I picked up in primary school, which I am still having trouble understanding as I am neither Canadian, antlered or remotely interested in running in front of cars. Or kebab like, hmm.My love of games is lifelong, really starting when I picked up a N64 pad in Toys R US and collected a shiny star with a certain pudgy plumber. That Christmas I was the proud recipient of a…Playstation?! Non gaming mothers aside, I persevered with Sony, and spent a lot of my childhood with a dragon, bandicoots, worms and a weird guy with feet and hands, but no arms or legs. I have been writing for just as long and one day, one fine day, will manage to get one utterly amazing uber epic sci-fi novel down on paper, ha.Nowadays I’m an RPG lover, with a sideline in platform/adventure type stuff. I generally love all things entertainment that don’t include the words ‘romcom’, and own far too many consoles, DVDs and books – all of which are handily stuck in the UK. My house, in the far flung future, will require a hell of a lot of shelf space.In other random pieces of information you couldn’t possibly want to know – I have a strange, subconscious obsession with the colour purple, and a bad habit of doing this…

Gamertag : Enzo 2000

Hello all!

My name is Jack and I started playing games when I was 8 years old, with my first console being a red Gameboy Pocket with a copy of Pokemon Red- red must have been my favourite colour :p. I’d long been enjoying playing friend’s games before that though, until I finally got some of my own. This then led on to numerous other consoles, and eventually, the consoles from the current generation that I now own. My games collection has built over the years and I now have a vast array of games to choose from, with my most prized console, probably being a NES, which is in working order. My favourite genre of game is FPS although I enjoy most genres as long as the game is of good quality. The Halo series are my favourite games of all time. I used to be and still am a solid Halo player, and my best ever tournament result was when my team were runners-up in a 3v3 online tournament, narrowly missing out on some decent prizes. Coincidentally, it was through visiting websites for Halo that I became involved in the gaming scene and realised both my talent and my enjoyment for writing reviews, leading me where I am now.

Of all the poorly fashioned things to come out of the 80’s, three come to Jared’s mind, the hairdo, the NES and of course… himself. Appearances can be deceiving, having picked up the controller before learning to ride a bike; he instead learnt the sport of ‘pwning’. A well manufactured gamer from a young age, boasting a various range of consoles and even failed relationships with the engulfing world of MMO’s. The time has come to get back to the roots of gaming, away from the online grind. Some have said the 80’s are coming back. Be afraid… Outside the world of console gaming and inside the world of “RL” – You’ll find Jared muttering the word ‘noob’ under his breath towards people who can’t comprehend, listening to metal, sinking beers or working with design. Hoping to fuse two hobbies into one profession, writing and gaming, much more difficult feats have been achieved, such as beating Ninja Gaiden on the NES. Games seem easier these days, or maybe the developers are just… fail? For Jared, that question is always interesting to answer.

Matt Vella. Nineteen and when I grow up, I want to jump on turtles and bang my head against bricks like Super Mario!Most people know me as a guy who screams in a moderately successful metalcore band, but my true passion lies in both retro and new school gaming, mostly retro! I love all games that are creative and imaginative, but I also dig a good button masher when its combined well with puzzles and strategy.Im also into Anime, Manga and Super Hero-themed comic books, and even a few webcomics. I live my life pretending its like the movie Scott Pilgrim Vs The World, because the bathroom is more fun with a draining pee meter, and hitting things is more entertaining when you visualise large comic book font screaming out sound effects like a 1960′s Batman show. :)

Gamertag : Giancoli

Name’s Roger, fresh out of the high school. I’ve been gaming for the most part of my life, starting with counter strike at the internet cafes in year 4. The first console i owed was a playstation one imported from overseas which came with like two games (which is currently somewhere in the garage probably underneath some boxes). It was pretty good back then but you see the thing was that because it was from overseas, “local” games couldn’t work on it and we lost the memory card like within a week… so basically every time me and brothers wanted to play Crash Bandicoot we had to start from scratch on or load up the cheat codes but still GOOD TIMES!Anyway, I play just about anything I can get my hands on these days – xbox, playstation, wii. I’m more into shooters and RPG, I can’t say I like racing games that much. Anything related to movies, music or games I’m pretty much there, like already there.

Nintendo 3DS Mii : LinkageAX

I’m Linkage Ayexe, LinkageAX, Ayexe, or in reality – Benjamin. I have been gaming since as early as I can remember, but it’s probably longer than that. My earliest memories of gaming are watching my dad play through Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on the SEGA Megadrive (Genesis to everyone overseas). This is also probably the first ever game I played.

At the moment I’m a serious QuakeLive player, but not so serious that I attend tournaments and things… I will when I think that I’m good enough though :D Outside of Quake I play World of Warcraft, I’m ‘Ayexe’ on the ‘Caelestrasz’ server, hit me up sometime. As you can probably tell, I’m primarily a PC gamer but I do also play consoles and handhelds. My favorite console franchise is the ‘Legend of Zelda’series, which is (as we all know) the greatest franchise to have ever graced gaming. My favorite TLoZ game would be Ocarina of Time simply because of it’s excellent level design, memorable characters and it’s amazing settings. My second favorite franchise is of course ‘Megaman’ for it’s tough as nails platforming gameplay and entertainingly sci-fi storyline. I started with Megaman X on the PC and ended up moving on the Zero games on the GBA, which are to this day my favorite Megaman games. The ZX games are also pretty good, but I have a soft-spot for Zero.

I was an N64 kid as opposed to a Playstation one, so I saw more top rated games over the years. I grew up with games that were always critical successes on this console, Super Mario 64, Goldeneye64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and many other greats, like LylatWars (Star Fox64) and Perfect Dark (which was sooooo good that it got a HD remake on Xboxlive Arcade! :D ).

Thanks for reading my Bio everyone.

Hello there. My name is Kyle. I am currently working through a degree in media with a focus on video game research. So far it has been working out pretty well for me, mostly because I can play games and tell myself its research. I’ve never felt so productive before in my life!

It all started when I got my first Sega around the age of 5 and became “friends” with Alex Kidd. Needless to say, I was incredibly happy to find the Alex Kidd titles could be purchased as virtual consoles on the Wii. My preference in games leans towards platform and adventure genres, but recently I’ve become rather taken with the casual nature of gaming and portable gaming devices like the iPhone. Needless to say, I am still a fan of console gaming and almost any gaming genre.

Feel free to follow me on twitter at http://twitter.com/kylejmoore but don’t expect anything too insightful to be posted in the near future.

I’ve been gaming since the days of Lemmings and Wolfenstein, and writing since Scamper the mouse in grade three. Having completed uni courses in both of these passions, the inevitable merging of the two only came about recently. I’ve become very interested in the role that narrative plays in video games, fiddling with creating my own scenarios for Fallout 3. In particular, I love platformers, puzzle games, open-world games and shooters with some kind of twist (Up with Bioshock and Portal, down with Halo and COD – yawn).

Favourites would have to be: any and all Mario franchises (multiplayer Mario Kart and Smash Bros. NEVER get old!), the Fallout series (gotta love so much freedom over the storyline), Dead Space, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Destroy All Humans! And recently, I’m loving the creative, addictive iPhone apps – Game Dev Story, Angry Birds and especially Plants vs. Zombies.

Hi my name is Darren from Sydney Australia. I have been playing video games ever since I can remember with the NES being my first machine. I’ve owned pretty much every system even remember playing a PC Engine and Turbo Graphics long before 8 and 16bit machines were released in Australia. I own all of the latest consoles but spend most of my time on the PS3, still think Nintendo are the most innovative company. Haven’t had much of an interest in PC gaming I prefer the feel of a console and controller.Also don’t get online much I prefer single player games such as Resident Evil and Castlevania and no its not because I keep getting my ass kicked on Mario Kart Wii by kids lol. I think phones are for speaking to people lol so I don’t get involved in the iPhone phenomena. I have a degree in Commerce Marketing which I’d like to use within gaming industry. Apart from that I like pretty much all sports especially cricket soccer and rugby league and most styles of music

The name’s Michael if you’re one for being formal. Or Marr 117 if I’m on Xbox Live, and no doubt blowing your head off. If not, then call me by my most widely used name: Spike. I’m currently 22 at time of writing. I have been gaming for the past 19 years of my little old life. That’s right folks, I started my lifelong… er… let’s not say obsession, that’s an ugly word… FASCINATION. Yeah, that’s it. -Fascination with video games at the meagre age of 3. My first console which I started playing was the SNES, on which I played my earliest video game memory: Super Mario World! I think my parents have always regretted letting me have it, but from my perspective, buying me all those Sonic the Hedgehog videos didn’t do their argument any favours.To this day, I remain a HUGE HUGE HUUUUUGE fan of Sonic the Hedgehog. I’ve played pretty much every Sonic game in existence, (excluding the game gear titles). Even if some of the games haven’t been up to Genesis scratch, I still enjoy them, no matter what. That said, I still love to play games of all varieties, as long as I can get them on my beloved Xbox360. (But I will also settle for PC, Wii and DS.) Among my current favourite series’ would have to be Halo, Left 4 Dead, Sonic, Fire Emblem and Mass Effect. But don’t just limit me to those. I’m also a huge fan of anime and sci-fi in general. In particular, Gundam stands atop the rest as my favourite anime series ever. Giant Robots. I dig them. You dig them. Chicks dig them. What’s not to love?As you can probably tell, games and Anime are my passions, and I absolutely love being able to write and review them.

I’m dragged away kicking and screaming; ranting something about the Princess being in another castle—6 hour marathons can’t be healthy for a 5 year old kid. I should have known this was the path I would take in life.Being a New Yorker from the Nintendo Generation and a gamer in my 30′s; I have a predisposition to old school games. I purchase far too many games on my iPhone, I have a wild obsession with the emerging indie game scene and I dream in 8bit. Don’t get me wrong, I love the AAA titles of the world and nothing brings me more satisfaction than shooting someone in the face, but I will always have a special place in my heart for a good 2D platformer.During the day I’m a freelance writer and illustrator, while in the evening I’m an Evil Megalomaniacal Super-Villain hell bent on taking over the world.

Okay, here we go. Start writing… start writing… Focus. Think of something. Pancakes? No, no, no. Waffles. I want 8 of them. Drive to the diner. Order them succulent, juicy, delicious waffles. Wait. My ex-girlfriend works here. Cancel the order. Find something better to do. VIDEO GAMES + Code Red Mt. Dew = NICE!For those of you that do not know me, the name is Joshua Moris. I might not be the famous knight in shining armor you know about, but I’m the next best thing – a frog. That’s right a frog. If you played Chrono Trigger for the SNES, you might know what I am talking about. Currently I am hiding in the woods in Northeast Iowa. When I am not looking for trouble, I am usually playing games or getting yelled at by my fiancee to get off one. Occasionally, we play Champions of Norrath together, but she says I take her loot too much (so what if I mash attack and loot buttons at the same time O.o;;) Other than that, I grew up having to buy all of my systems due to my dad not spending money on that “stuff”. At least it put my priorities in line – get a job/ get paid/ get games. Can you believe I did that by mowing lawns. True story…

So my name is Jess and I am female gamer. Say whaat? Yeah, one of those rare species with ovaries and a uterus and all that business who, instead of having a penchant for shoes and fashion, love me some animated violence and good old RPGs. But hey, I’m no console snob, I’ve got to say social gaming is a really fun way to defeat all my friends and make them rethink their life decisions. My favourite brand of games are along the Oblivion, Dragonage vein, any game with a really solid story line which gets you involved. This is probably because I’m a writer, have been one for about as long as I’ve been able to formulate words on a page. I have to admit I first got into games by watching my step-brother own at Nintendo back in the 90s, but as I got older I’ve picked up the controller myself and – dare I say – have become a challenge for even he. I’m a self-proclaimed geek, but quite proud of it. Let your freak flag fly!

Josh is the name, writing is my game… well my degree will say that. But, when uni gets me down (and it does), there is no better way that to grab a chair, sit back and slicing up some Darkspawn.I started my gaming interest back in the good old 16 bit era with the Sega Mega Drive and Sonic The Hedgehog 2. I was roughly five years old. To this day I still try to fire up the dusty companion and speed through the wacky and bright levels, jumping on some Badniks, collecting those damn Chaos Emeralds. Then I moved onto Sony’s disk based console the Playstation (thanks to my uncle). Since then I have picked up each of Sony’s consoles from the 5th to current generation that has been released in Australia (with more to come).In terms of writing about games, I am quite new to the field.

I started out late last year with my own blog before deciding to move to greener pastures. I have written a few reviews for the Playstation 3 and Playstation Portable. Features as well. I hope I can flex my muscles while writing with Capsule Computers.If I’m not gaming, however, I’m writing narratives. I am currently trying to kickstart a high fantasy novel (which, hopefully, turns into a complex RPG) that I want done in five years or so. My passion of writing has been there for a long time and has flourished as I grew. I’m into the fantasy genre, both games and novels, and thoroughly enjoy a deep and complex RPG, whether it comes from the East or West.Oh and anime is awesome!

Bio: Born in South Africa, I was whisked on an international adventure at the age of one, travelling from there to France to Italy to Florida to California and, finally, to Australia. Through my travels I picked up one dirty little habit: Gaming. It started innocently enough with Age of Empires, but soon I was playing shooters, RPGs, and MMOs.Next thing I know, I’m in Syndey, my games library continuously expanding. I wish I could build a shrine to Bioware and I study Journalism at the University of New South Wales.

Oh and that annoying guy who calls you during dinner for the Guide Dogs? …That’s also me. I hope that one day people will WANT to hear what I have to say by writing about one of the things I am really passionate about: video games.

My first venture into video games was Star Fox on the SNES and I must have been four years old. It was purely chance that my dad brought home a SNES that day. It was pretty cool and I enjoyed playing it once in a while, but then soon after we got a Mega Drive that came bundled with Sonic 2 and that was pretty exciting, I was immediately hooked on it and found myself playing it far more frequently than I did the SNES. However, it wasn’t until the year I played Sonic & Knuckles with all its lock-on shenanigans that I really became an avid gamer. That game, together with all the Mega Drive Sonic releases, defined my childhood. Sonic 3 & Knuckles, from that point and till this very moment, became the best video game I played.

Video games (Sega in particular) became a big part of my life, and the 90s was a glorious era. That era was something else, gaming was still a niche hobby and the true spirit of gaming was alive and kicking, none of that Hollywood gimmickry, Achievements/Trophies, micro transactions or social RPG network nonsense. It was a time when both gamers and developers alike were truly passionate, and games were being made by diehard gamers for diehard gamers. Not to mention, video game publications were free from the jaded internet keyboard warrior.

I miss the time when game journalists were passionate and enthusiastic about the medium. It was great reading that kind of work and GameFan (later succeeded by Play Magazine) became my favourite publication, and back then it was my dream to someday write about games.

Towards the end of high school I finally took some steps to get into game journalism, it started off with me making contributions to local zines and that carried on for a while, a few years later I was lucky enough to join some serious publications, and really set my foot into the video game industry and witness the inner workings behind it.

Hey there. I’m Tom. And I’m a gamer. [claps]

When I was little, I was always jonesing to go round a friends who had the wondrous N64, complete with Mario Kart 64. I sucked at it, but it was a good suck, and I enjoyed crashing into lava and getting blown up by a rogue Green Shell.

Fast forward 10 years, and I’m working as a web developer, blowing most if not all my hard-earned cash on all the consoles and games I could get my hands on… Yes– that means PS3, Xbox 360, AND Wii. (I even dabbled in the PSP and DS worlds from time to time.)

Eventually, I managed to not blow all my money on games, and get myself a decent PC rig. I could finally play Portal without suffering the wrath of the BSOD ruining my day… And then on to L4D and it’s successor. Since then, I’ve got more and more interested in the indie scene: Nitrome, Capybara, Nifflas, thatgamecompany… And, being a code-monkey at heart, started looking into making games of my own with XNA, and recently, HTML5.

The other side of my brain is steeped in anime and manga goodness. Naruto, Bleach, Death Note… Studio Ghibli. I’ve picked up a modest knowledge of anime-related japanese, and have found myself shouting “kshaw!” at a Game Over screen from time to time…

Over the years, I’ve wanted to share my thoughts on the various games and media I’ve consumed; and so, I look forward to sharing them with the world.

Hi all, my name is Jorel. What’s that? You don’t know anyone else called Jorel but it sure sounds familiar? *bells ring* That’s right, I was named after Superman’s father, the one and only, Jor-El! Yeah I know he’s dead but he’s Superman’s dad, and that’s what counts!Basically I’m just your humble university student working on a degree in IT with a lot of time on his hands. I primarily play rpgs, but I also like playing action-adventures and strategy games. I have a love-hate relationship with first-person shooters and fighting games because I keep dying, like all the time, I’m that bad at them! But that doesn’t stop me from trying and trying, humiliating myself in front of friends!

I also love anime and manga!! If you go to anime or pop culture conventions in Sydney, chances are you would have seen me before…in cosplay!! Yes I regularly cosplay, attend photoshoots, and enter cosplay comps, and I know what you’re thinking, “What a geek!” Well what can I say, I like shocking people with my crazy wigs and out-of-this-world attires while walking the streets of Sydney! The stares and weird looks fuel me!

Well that’s it for now folks. If you see me at a convention, don’t forget to say hi!

Outside of gaming in real life (It actually exists! mind BLOWN)  I’m 29 and hunting out jobs wherever they may lurk, its not easy but the gamer mantra is work, get payed, game and now that I’ve joined up with Capsule Computers I get to work, write about industries I love and game (points if you C whut I did thar.)  Not that I’m bitter, Capsule is going places and to be a part of something like that and to contribute as an actual member of the team is not something money can buy, its a priceless part of my existence as a gamer, moviegoer and gadget nut and a way to express my love and slaver. Servit. Addict. I mean devotion to everything gaming, movie and gadget alike.

So follow Capsules lead, stay clear of the walls and remember. If it gets dark, you won’t be eaten by a grue. It’s a blackout you fool :P

I couldn’t let MasterAbbott have the only picture with a weapon in it, so I pulled out one of my katanas and had my girlfriend take the picture. In your face MasterAbbott! I’ve been gaming since I was 6 years old. My uncle started me off by giving me a GameBoy (yes, that big fat grey one) and my first game “Skate or Die”, from there my passion kicked off. I’ve owned pretty much every console and handheld system out there. Except for Sony consoles, I don’t like them. For some reason I get super mad when I see a PlayStation and thus never bought one.Aside from gaming I am currently working towards my degree in computer science with an emphasis on game programming. You’ll be seeing indie games from me eventually and I’m extremely generous so I’ll give out tons for free.

I began writing reviews and game related articles during my English Composition classes in college. I discovered that a slight format alteration can turn a game review into a fully fledged discussion paper and from there I haven’t stopped writing them. Discussing a video game is easier and more fun than discussing the legal court system (That was an actual topic my teacher suggested to me).You can follow me on twitter at RadicalDylan.
