Eine Kleine Nachtmuzik

When I was jumped by a bully in middle school, while he sat on my chest throwing punches toward my face, he said two phrases:

“Hold still!”

“Put your hands down!”

I did neither.

My friends pulled him off seconds after his third repetition of those words.

I’m here to tell you what bullies will say when they hold you down, to better beat you before help can arrive.

You did remember to make friends on the way to this ambush, right?

And, the most exquisite CODA cum finale:

Kinect Is Your Mom…

…and the bitch won’t shut the fuck up about cleaning your room. Or at least, won’t stop making it a way to blame YOU for anything that goes wrong.

This is why having a glowing ball at the end of a wand may LOOK silly, but it’s actually better overall. If you played Tony Hawk’s Ride (we sorry bastards), you know how fucked up these req’s are. Hey MS, what about my checkerboard carpet?

To the extent that they again seem to be biting off more than they can chew as well as feebly trying to one-up the un-one-uppable, this just might the relevant formula:

Kinect = Microsoft Bob + Games For Windows

Have fun having fun with that.

Now Playing – 7/19/2010

Filed under: Games,Now Playing — Tags: — Saint Waldo @ 2:44 PM

PS3:

  • Red Dead Redemption – Daily – AKA Grand Theft Pony. Somehow the western setting is more immersive for me than any of the modern setting GTA titles. The plot has a few typical forced RP breaks (what if I DON’T want to steal that fucking horse?), but so far Rockstar manages to pack a compelling story into the plot missions that doesn’t feel like a two-path, GvE trope traipse.
  • Rock Band – 1-3hrs Daily – Full Expert Singing, ~95% Hard Drumming , and BTW, would you fuckers out there please pick your band name and do your gear shopping before you join the multi-player queue? Thanks. Douchebags.

PSP:

  • Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalker – Near Daily – Stealth mission games are amazingly tailored to bathroom playing, just saying.

PC/MAC:

  • WoW – 2-4hrs/week – The Panther Modern crown is mine again. Now to make plans for our mayhem in Cata.
  • Dragon Age: Origins – Twice Weekly – It’s still awesome, even if that bard won’t sleep with me, dammit.
  • Civilization: Colonization – Twice Weekly – Because every young gamer should know how to build a sanitized triangle trade.

PS3:

  • Dragon Age: Origins – Daily – This is the version my GF plays, and I pretty much watch it flow by. She likes the more action oriented style of the console version.
  • Rock Band – 1-3hrs Daily – Full Expert Singing, ~95% Hard Drumming (that’s what SHE said), patiently waiting for RB3 with vocal harmonies, realerer drums and OMG STRINGS ON GUITARS!

PSP:

  • Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalker – Daily – Wow. I never thought aiming with the buttons would be so good. Hideo-san gets paid for a reason, folks.

PC/MAC:

  • WoW – 2-4hrs/week – I quit the PvE guild. Drama and in-fighting just made everything, even the small successes, not worth the time or effort. I’m laying low until Cataclysm.
  • Dragon Age: Origins – Daily – This is the version I’m playing, taking full advantage of the richer tactical options available with mouse and keys.

As always, if you think a platform is missing, by all means, send one to me.
