Wailing Butt Rock- Starring Jake Muller

      So Resident Evil 6 has Sonic Adventure style wailing butt rock. The kind that wouldn't be out of place in a Nickleback album. Like really. During one of the credits sequences they have that wonderfully awful deal. So then I went back to Super Meat Boy after a year. I know McMillen gets a lot of credit for Isaac nowadays (Reviewed on my old blog, heyyyyy) but Meat Boy's still awesome. When I first played it about a year and a half ago I got a bit discouraged from dying six million times, but that really is the entire point. Instead of making any actual progress I went back and got all the extra hard stuff from the easy levels for babies. For ten bucks the amount of content in that game is kind of overwhelming. The only other thing I can really compare it to is the Undead Nightmare expansion for Red Dead, which really is an entirely new game. I've had an incredible urge to play that again too, mainly because it has El Chupacabra. Goats.

This is a blog post.

      So lately I haven't really been moving much so suffice to say I haven't really played any video game type stuff this week. Well, that's a lie, I played some stuff on the PC without any audio because of a weird issue, but I've been sorta really impressed with some of the mods that've come out lately. I know I'm late to hop on this Half-Life mod bandwagon, but Grey (the survival horror type deal mod thing) reminds me too much of Silent Hill for me not to love it, and Black Mesa (the Half-Life 1 remake, even though my computer sucks and has some trouble while running it) is sort of mind-blowing. Apart from that it's been relatively low gaming lately, but Zone of the Enders HD comes out next week, so I have that to... Look forward to. Speaking of, I've been thinking about Mr. Kojima a lot lately. I've been scouring the web with very low effort to try to find a good version of Snatcher because it's like... Good. And I've been hearing a lot about Policenauts lately so I sorta want to check that out too. Japan. Arrivederci.

Video games are a thing and I play them sometimes

     Last week I played through the first 2 acts of Dishonored and I sorta love that game. It's like Deus Ex if I was semi competent at it. It really is pretty similar to Human Revolution, with all the different ways to complete each mission and the upgrade able superhuman abilities. It's a bit like Assassin's Creed in that you get a target for each mission, but the ways you can deal with them are actually kinda cool sometimes. In the case of a non-lethal playthrough, you can (tee-hee) dishonor them by like, playing the confessions of a dictator over the loudspeakers, or sending away a lady to live with her obsessed admirer. Or you can just go  stab everything like a mongoloid. Either way, it's pretty solid, even if it does go by fairly quickly, even while taking a stealthy approach. It could do with out the requisite zombies that appear in every game, but apart from that it's one of the best new IPs I've seen in a while. Anyways. Video games are played on a screen. Ciao.

Some October stuff, I guess.

     So I sorta wanted to talk about the end of the month releases coming up in a few weeks. I've been playing Resident Evil 6, which is pretty much Gears of War with less tentacles, but anyways, Zone of the Enders HD Collection is dropping pretty soon with the Metal Gear demo, and I hear those games are great, so I'm really excited for that. Also, Assassin's Creed 3 is totally on the way. I haven't been following that one, and I never played Revelations, but what little I've seen has been pretty impressive. Code of Princess is a more recent thing as well, and it's apparently like an RPG beat em up from the fine folks at Atlus? Whatever it is, it's a supposedly really awesome 3DS game so I'll keep my eyes peeled for that one. Other than that, Dishonored came out, which I have a feeling I won't get around to playing for a long, long time. Long. Adios.

Resident Evil 6 is a many video games

     So lately I've been playing a wee bit of Resident Evil 6, and it's kinda strange how it manages to be like 4 different games, yet none of those 4 are truly Resident Evil. I would say that true survival horror is dead, but then I would play something like Lone Survivor which is (relatively) recent and see that people can still do it right. So by that logic I suppose it's fine if Capcom wants to turn Resident Evil into an entirely action-based series. There aren't really any scares anymore but all the sort of action-y elements they added to the gameplay work pretty well. You can move and shoot now, which people have been complaining about since Resident Evil 4 but I never really had a problem with, but the big thing they've done is make a character in a survival horror game sort of mobile, unlike the tank controlling heroes of the past. It's interesting for sure, and there's a lot I've yet to see in this here game. Adios.

October has mucho thangs.

     So Borderlands 2 hath been completed. Kind of incredible. Review of that up soon. Resident Evil 6 is out, and this is the time of year when you have to make the tough choices, the kind that lesser folk shrivel away from. The last third of the year multiple awesome games a month choice. Resident Evil 6, or Dishonored coming out in a week. I've been following Resident Evil 6, but I haven't really been paying attention to Dishonored up until recently. It looks like it could be awesome, but I'm a bit iffy. Then again I'm a bit iffy on Resident Evil 6. Bah. Zone of the Enders HD Collection comes out at the end of the month as well. Video games.
