I picked up Resident Evil 4 Wii Version
Asides from pointing and shooting via Wiimote, the Shenmue-esque Quick Time Events are the biggest change. It may not be drastically different, but swinging the Wiimote back and forth to outrun a boulder is just more exciting than yamming on a button. Consider me hooked
Little seems to have changed outside of the controls, but that’s hardly a complaint. The game looks good, controls smoothly and is still fucking fun. Capcom, I salute thee.
Simple and Clean sounds more like a commercial song for a sanitary napkin, but what do I know? Really now.
Starting up Kingdom Hearts 2 a while back gave the impression that Chain of Memories is vital to understanding what the shit is going on in the game. What I found in Chain of Memories was surprisingly a good time.
At completion, I have about forty hours nested into this little GBA game. Overall, quite the pleasing experience, even if I did have to study the battle system mechanics a bit to get a hang of how to play. I’ve long since lost the instruction manual (Damn you cardboard packaging!) so I’m not sure if it’s my fault or the games, but I don’t think you can just “dive into” Chain of Memories.
But since I’m one of the few nuts who actually enjoys card-based games I stuck with it. In the end, I’m glad that I did, because Chain of Memories offers a fairly unique experience in the Kingdom Hearts world.
So, I’ve seen photos of my soon-to-be apartment. Out of courtesy to the current inhabitant, I won’t be sharing those photos here, but I’ll throw some up after I move in. Anyway, it’s damn nice looking.
Also in the recent details coming my way, it seems I will be teaching at elementary schools. Nine of them. I’m quite psyched about this, actually. Working with the little kids will surely cause me to be tired at the end of the day, but there is no way this can’t be extremely rewarding. I remember working with the first graders in my own grade school in the eight grade and that was great fun.
Sure, I think I’ve got a huge hurdle to cross in the coming months, but it’s actually quite thrilling. I just hope the kids are as excited as I am.
Since Best Buy wants me to be a good little consumer whore, they fatten my inbox with coupons every so often. I decided to be a lovely little lad and pick up some things for friends and family utilizing these coupons. Not being entirely selfless, I snagged a nice little two gig memory stick for my camera. $25! Can’t believe how cheep that stuff has gotten.
So anyway, we are standing in line at Best Buy. We being myself along with Paul and Robert Smith of the Cure. Waiting for the register monkey to do her thang with the customers before us, my comrades begin delving into the “shit we want to get rid of” box in front of the register. It’s almost like candy, but instead games that everyone has given up on. The people in front of me finish buying their shit and I move forward, leaving my scavenging friends behind.
So I get my shit rung up, and of course in Best Buy’s glorious fashion, none of the coupons actually do what they’re supposed to. Waiting for the manager, I see my friends giggling behind the stack of shitty games. Finally when I’m done buying my shit, they come up and plop down another game for me to get.
!That’s right folks. I got carded for the Bible Game.
Oh. The game sucks malted fuck balls, just in case you were wondering.
