And Another Thing...

I meant to study Japanese tonight, I truly did. But the internet was especially fruitful this eve. This scratches me in almost all of my itchy places. The music is superb, the idea is wonderful and the execution of it is pretty damn good. Plus it has some nice ideas in it. Parts are a little forced or 'joke-y', but no in any way big enough to detract from what it is trying to achieve. I love this stuff, using games in ways not intended. I love that a game about shooting as many things as many times as possible can be used as a platform for intelligent discussion. Awesome. Teh Awesome, even.

While I'm Here...

I meant to post this a while ago. It is a perfect distillation of the modern gaming environment, hot chicks and rag doll physics. It is nigh perfect in its focus. Seriously. I really like how every factor in this game is "weighted" to keep the action going, to keep the good times rolling. And if she ever gets stuck, just give her a tug and off she goes again.

But as with almost anything pure and beautiful, politics had to get involved. This is the exact same thing, only with Bush instead of bush. I can't say that I like the substitution. I'm not even sure I know what this political statement is stating. Bush is tumbling like the economy, like his approval rating, like foreign relations, like all of the above? But then, I've never been much in to politics.

Why Was I Not Informed?

There's a new Serenity trailer out there. And it is good. So here is a link to the new serenity trailer. And here is a link to the international trailer. I recommend watching both. Many times. I am giddy. Giddy I tell you!!

Also, I finally got an S rank in Double Dragon Advance. 102 was my tally. Yay me.
