Wiiwaa-aaat the F*ck?!?

So in my exploring of the web I stumbled upon this game/stuffed creature thing for the Wii.

Apparently you stuff your Wiimote down this stuffed animals throat and then use the stuffed animal to handle basic controls of the character on screen. All in all I feel like this will be a great game for a couple of 5-7 year old kids.

Now if only they would spend more time making games for teens-adults as well. Or perhaps Nintendo can invest in some better graphics. Now that the Nintendo Wii has lost some of it’s luster from the new motion controls there isn’t much to do with it other than have it serve as a dust collector. Perhaps like in my case it serves as a hazard on the garage steps.

Well check out the video. Which is just a bit scary for me.

Borderlands for PC

Well played Borderlands for the PC. Or at least I should say that I tried too.

Basically we loaded it up on the PC and Laptop, played about 10 minutes in and couldn’t stand anymore.

To start with, the mouse feel is horrible for a shooter. I suppose there was no actually testing of the game done when they ported it over from a console. Or perhaps they tested it using a console controller connected to the PC. Either way it just feels off in all sorts of the ways.

Graphically it is okay with all the settings on high, which one would assume my PC could handle. But in multi player they running around with two people caused the game to become lag-tastic. Not sure why though. Even with some of the settings turned back down a notch it still wasn’t that great. But I suppose we can’t always expect the best programming for companies.

All in all we didn’t even get past the first little city area before saying F-it and moving to another game.

JKII kicks Borderlands ass in gameplay. And it is like a decade old.

For the past week or so, i’ve been locked in my room playing games all day. Its finally taken a toll on me as I usually don’t get to play online games in Korea because I want 20-40 ping matches, not 100+. I’m finally getting bored after beating Army of Two, Uncharted, Batman Arkham Asylum, Lost Planet, finding a way to own with the warrior in Fat Princess, Tekken 5 Online, raping Lumines, FFXI, TF2, and the list just goes on and on.

So, today I went and researched things on linguistics. First, it’ll help you learn any language and second I like military sounding words because they sound cool. That opened up a huge can of worms in itself. It has sparked my interest and i plan on reading up on it while practicing Korean. This actually caused me to miss the Jay Leno show tonight unfortunately…BUT I DID SEE CEDRIC THE ENTERTAINER WRESTLE CHAVO GUERRERO! AND HE HAD A GOAT!

I’m still wondering when Hulu or USA will have the Bollywood Homicide episode of Psych. I think Edwin is the only dude to watch it. I also decided to cut protein out of my diet and so far I havent been suffering after working out, but DURING my workout haha. Maybe i should cut the intake to 1/4 of a serving.

Ooooyeaaa, Since Beatles Rock Band was so great, I tried RockBand again, and man..I spent more time making a character than playing all the gay music. Now they might be doing a Pink Flyod one, which will be interesting too. Also, DJ Deckstream is freakin’ sweet, hailing from Japan, he was on Nujabes’ Label, Hydeout Productions. Nujabes is the dude who made the Samurai Champloo soundtrack…and now I feel like watching Samurai Champloo dammit!

Off to watch Ben Stein’s documentary, Expelled: No Intelligence!
