Ramblings and musings of John Zeitler.
At 8:44p, I defeated the final boss of Alien Hominid HD on Xbox Live Arcade. This is the ninth game cleared in 2008. The next game that is queued for completion is Phoenix Wright: Justice For All (DS), followed by Band of Bugs (XBLA) and Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Subspace Emissary) (Wii).
Sorry, folks– ran into some chaos last night, and I couldn’t get a passable rant written up. I do find it to be a point of pride that I went over a month without having to resort to Bailout, but here we are.
I had a pretty good rant about how nothing in stores was really grabbing my attention here in the last week before Wild ARMs XF Super Smash Bros. Brawl hits, but to be completely honest that all got completely shot to hell last night when a couple of new titles landed at my pad courtesy some store credit and Gamefly. So yeah, we’re going to lapse a little into gaming news here on the main site for this week, but I think I could be excused.
( Gaming drivel about Ghost Squad and Culdcept Saga. » )
Anyway. Sunday evening I ran into some stomach trouble; I’ll save you the protracted explanation and just say that I don’t think that I’ll be going to that Mongolian BBQ place anymore. Or if I do, I’ll have to remember the Pepto chaser. Ugh.
Tomorrow on the LJ I have the February Anime Report, and Thursday… well, I don’t know yet what I’ll be doing on Thursday, but I’ll have something. Probably ranting about Fullmetal Alchemist. Ciao, folks.
There is a reason I have dragged my feet on playing and finishing the Phoenix Wright games. While I will admit that they’re wonderfully written, the two biggest things stopping me from actually going through them sooner than now are the fact that you have elected to make every case drag on longer than the OJ Trial did, and that you refuse to let me accelerate the speed of the text to a reasonable rate, which would be anything faster than the god damned glacial pace you set it at now. I mean, for cryin’ out loud, games taught me how to speed-read, so how about letting me use that ability once in a while?
I sat down to do Case 2 in Justice For All (yes, I am that far behind) last night at, oh, five thirty or so, and I finished it at nine thirty. Really, the writing is the only thing keeping me going– but it is quite worth it.
Also, could you guys please manage to make a Resident Evil game that a) doesn’t suck and b) has a difficulty level more along the lines of what reasonable people would want to play? Preferably I’d be happy if you re-did Umbrella Chronicles with an “Easy” difficulty that wasn’t an abject lie, but if you can’t swing that, how about maybe ripping off Sega and doing Resident Evil Teaches Typing? I’d so be all over that bastard. You do that and I might even forgive you for the lack of new Mega Man Legends*.
* THAT WAS A JOKE. HA HA FAT CHANCE.
At 6:25a, I cleared Stage 5 with both characters in Triggerheart Exelica on Xbox Live Arcade. This is the eighth game cleared in 2008. The next game that is queued for completion is Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles (Wii), followed by Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) and Phoenix Wright: Justice For All (DS).
