AHH! NEW! GOLDEN! SUN! - Monday, June 21, 2010
Last week, as many of you know, is E3 week. E3 is where gaming companies show off their latest wares. I have all 3 major consoles, so I was hoping that Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo would bring the awesome. Penny Arcade pretty much summed up their press conferences quite accurately. I hate Nintendo’s ability to make me give them money, because that’s what’s going to happen. Also, they’re finally releasing a new Golden Sun game! I have said that I would rage quit life if the third Golden Sun game didn’t come out by the end of this year. Nintendo has made sure that I don’t commit the angriest seppuku ever, at least for another year. Sure, the new Kirby game looks beyond awesome, and Zelda is always an insta-buy, but neither are Golden-frickin-Sun. It’s been 7 years since the last time I got to enjoy Golden Sun! 7 long years. The only thing I’m more excited about is the Nintendo 3DS. I will be in line at midnight. I will have it the day it comes out and life will be better. Food will taste better. Colors will be more vivid. Microsoft left me really underwhelmed. Sony did better, but I barely cared about their conference because it was after Nintendo’s conference. I hope Microsoft doesn’t embarrass themselves again next year.
Speaking of embarrassment, I’ve recently started playing Starcraft again. This time, I’ll actually beat the game instead of rage-quitting during the last Zerg mission (I lost my entire army and now I have to defend this point? Rage!). Then I’ll break Brood War over my knee. Then I’ll think about playing online and laugh once I realize how bad of an idea that is. Some 5 year old Korean kid will drop siege tanks in the back of my base 5 minutes into the game. I need to find someone who sucks as much as I do to play Starcraft with. I need to do a lot of things, like continue playing Picross 3D. It’s like crack you don’t have to do shameful things for.

You know what I love? Doing nothing. You know how I spent my Memorial Day weekend? Mostly inside my apartment. 4 days of not having any responsibilities. Yes, 4 days. I took Tuesday off, just because I felt like it. It felt good having time off that didn’t require me to travel somewhere and/or do anything. I just sat around and did enjoyable stuff. I played so much Super Mario Galaxy 2. Nintendo made sure that beating this game completely would not be a simple task. I tried to record some music, but things were giving me grief. I could use Windows, but I don’t enjoy using Windows. I also spent a large amount of my mini-vacation doing a large amount of game programming with OpenGL. Right now, I have a tank shooting…things. Really.
It’s pretty much the next Team Fortress 2, except completely not. Speaking of Valve games, I’ve had Left 4 Dead 2 for months, but I’ve yet to play it. I don’t know why I haven’t even bothered to go through part of one campaign. I should find some L4D2 buddies with mics. I need to practice my 12 year old kid voice. They’re gonna love that so much.
You know what else is horrible? Dr. Horrible and his sing-along blog. That’s not exactly fair. The only part that I don’t like is the singing, and there is a lot of singing. Yes, I know Felicia Day is in it (which doesn’t impress me). Yes, I know Neil Patrick Harris is in it (and he’s pretty much superior to me in every way). I do not care about these facts. Every time they start singing, I just wanted to rage-quit life. In general, musical numbers and I just don’t get along very well. People say Glee is great, but I can’t get past all that singing. I watched an episode, and that was the last episode I’ll ever watch. Every time I see a musical number in Family Guy, I just fast forward (with rage). But I digress slightly, Dr. Horrible would have been awesome if it wasn’t a sing-along blog. Now if you’ll excuse me, it’s Saturday morning. Time to veg.
