Miss Me?

Haha... so, I went on vacation! I had every intention of telling you before hand, but... that didn't happen. I went to San Antonio for a conference (great conference, iffy relations) and then I went to Florida to see my family! I got a wee bit of a sunburn and got bitten by a stingray all in one day! I had a lot of fun and am now in the airport on my way back to the Lonestar State. Philip picked up two rare games already in FL, and we're stopping at some Play-N-Trade's in the DFW area to look for some more. (Gamers, you can take them away from the system, but that just makes them cranky.) I also got some really cute shoes that are squishing my toes, but that's a bit off topic. Anywhos... I'm getting a bit hungry and we start boarding in a bit so I'm gonna go. Oh! Our last drawing winner was Sarah! I'll set the next one up once I get back home and get some sleep.

So...

Last night Philip started playing Heavy Rain and I was going to post my first impression of the game yesterday evening. That obviously didn't happen. So... here it is: Go buy this game! If you don't have a PS3, go buy one so that you can buy this game! I never posted last  night because I was too busy watching the game. I want to know who the origami killer is! This game is like a video-game-orgasm... you just keep coming back saying, "please sir, may I have some more." Seriously... go now to your closest gamer or electronic store and buy this game. Now.

Afternoon Quickie: Street Fighter

So... I won't limit myself to any specific Street Fighter as I have basically the same opinion of them all. Street Fighter is how pasty-faced gamer boys get out their aggression. These boys aren't going to go out and start fights all West Side Story style (they don't have the grace nor the body to pull off the tights). So what do they do? They mash buttons. If they're in an arcade, they mash bigger buttons. Street Fighter, I would say if anger management for the gamer crowd. Supposedly there is some sort of story, but who knows what it is. There's a lot of noise and not of all it is in English. Most of the time, they're just yelling at each other (the snapping and songs from West Side).  Now, the game has some risque parts. When one of the girls jumps up, you get a panty shot (compare this to the low-cut shirts of the Puerto Rican chicas). Basically what I'm saying is that Street Fighter is like a Japanese game version of West Side Story. No one knows why the characters want to fight each other, but they do and they make a lot of noise in the process.


Now to sit back and watch all the gamer's freak out that I just compared one of the most beloved video games of all time to a musical...

  

Wuv...
