Screaming Repulsive Symphonies of Void

Johnny Rock Dawson, again, this time with Brandon Wright, performing “Meet Me By the River’s Edge” on my front porch.

Johnny Rock Dawson: Roger from SummerFest’s Rent and musician from the groups Partly Cloudy and Waiting For Patience, performs “Kentucky Thunderfuck” in my living room on the banjo. A song that he wrote in only thirty seconds, give or take.

If it shakes from my laughter in some sections: I apologize.

Borderlands… What is there to say? If I go into too much depth with it you’ll think that I’m exaggerating to the point of being crazy.

“Oh, no game could ever be that great, Hayley. What the Hell are you smoking?”

Think again, Peeps. It can, and it is! 

So, check it:

1. The game’s got role-playing game qualities similar to Bethesda games (Elder Scrolls, Fallout, etc.).
2. It’s a first person shooter, with more guns than you can keep track of. With qualities, again, throwing back to Bethesda games. Qualities like finding better weapons out in the wild versus buying them, weapons that have elemental advantages (fire, electricity, radiation, etc), and the ability to carry way more than your standard “two” with the beloved (and overrated) Call of Duty games.
3. Limitless play time. If you beat the story line (which is fabulous) you can play through again at the same level you ended with in your first play through. Keep leveling up, baby! Leveling up equals fighting stronger enemies which equals being rewarded with weapons that cause more mayhem which in turn equals fantastically thrilling fight scenes.
4. Vehicles. Psst: Fallout game-designers, GET A CLUE!
5. Online Play. Psst: Bethesda game-designers, GET A BIGGER CLUE!
6. Co-Op Splitscreen. I just want to refer to number 4 or 5 here, but I think my point has been made.

All in all I would say I’d give this a 4.5 out of 5 stars. I refuse to give them that extra half a star for one reason, which is the comic book-style look to the game.

Granted, it’s a pretty cool idea and an interesting spin on a game. It was a nice try, but no cigar. The realistic appearance of role playing games and first person shooters is what keeps me playing them for months straight. Cartoony, fun-graphics are only what I want to see in side scrollers, simulation, puzzles, etc.

2K Games released this game on 10/20/2009. Download content is available.

Ok, so most of you have seen this trailer on TV and you’re like, “Ooooh, yeah. Another vampire movie, this time with kids. I am not paying to see that piece of shit.”

Yeah, you guys are sadly mistaken. If this movie ends up being half as good as the original version called Let the Right One In, which is done in Swedish with English subtitles, then it’s going to be well worth the cost of a movie ticket and then some.

I just saw a preview for the new Splatterhouse game, and all I have to say is: “HOLY SWEET-TITS!”

This appears to be quite a good follow-up for the arcade and Genesis games. I can’t wait… No, really… I can’t. Who wants to help me hijack a truck that’s hauling copies of this?

This trailer was released at comicon for the new AMC series, The Walking Dead, based on the comics by writer Robert Kirkman and artist Tony Moore. I’m so freaking excited.
