Outlaw’s Angry Dome

So the buzz on the internets is that there will be a new Gyakuten Saiban game titled “Perfect Prosecutor” in which Miles Edgeworth is the star.  I’m not sure about how to feel about this.  Part of me is thrilled to have a new game in the series announced because the Ace Attorney games have become one of my favorite gaming series of all time.  But another part of me is sad to see a game that’s not focused around Wright or Apollo.  I’m really more interested at the next installment in Apollo’s saga since the ending of Apollo Justice left so many questions unanswered.  I know that the sequel is coming, but I’d rather have it sooner than later.

I wonder how gameplay will exactly work in this spin-off.  Usually, the prosecution doesn’t have much work to do since defendants are guilty unless proven innocent.  A new investigation mode has also been announced and I’m guessing a new court system also has to be implemented.  Going by Edgeworth’s story, and these new gameplay revelations, it’s probably not far off to think the game will happen during Edgeworth’s international travels during the second and/or third Phoenix Wright games.

In any case, I bet Oldbag is happy her Edgey-poo is back!

Really?

This is why we can’t have nice things people.

I’ve frequented GoNintendo and listened to the podcast for all my Nintendo news since late 2005, so it’s sad to see that Buddy the Podcast Dog passed away today. I’ve never had a much loved pet, or even family member, pass away so I can’t say I can relate to what RMC must be feeling, but I send him my regrets. The podcast wont be the same without Buddy barking, snoring, or farting throughout the entire show.

Oh god fucking damnit.  God damn you Oprah, and god damn you Rachel Ray.

The whore is getting her own cartoon.

Yes, I did it.  I rented Avatar: The Burning Earth for the easy 1000 achievement points.  I don’t feel guilty at all about it.

But is it wrong that I ended up playing the game for hours?  Admittedly  it’s a mediocre beat-em-up that is incredibly easy, has camera problems, and has ugly character models, but my love for Avatar is so deep that I can’t help but keep playing.  The same thing happened with me and Chocobo Racing, which has a metascore of 61%.  It gives credence to the thought that review scores mean nothing if you’re actually interested in the franchise.

Probably wont help with the whole Sonic Unleashed thing though.

Ok.  So Sonic finally confirmed the rumored Sonic Unleashed, whose screenshots have been floating around the internets for a few weeks now, and I can’t help but not care.  When is Sonic just going to give up and die?  He’s a bastardization of the brilliance of what he used to be; remember when he was cooler than Mario?  Now the series is full of bad voice acting (bring back Urkel!), overdramatic story lines, horrible camera, and a new batch of furries for every new game.  Sonic Unleashed is supposed to bring the series back to it’s roots with 2D gameplay in a 3D environment, and I’m slightly optimistic in regards to that, but…Were Sonic?  Really?  Really?!  Sonic Team couldn’t come up with better shit than that?!

…I’m probably going to buy it.

Well it’s Friday, which means I listen to the CAGcast on my way to and from work.  This week CheapyD said that he is the biggest fan of himself, and he scours the internet looking for any mention of himself.  I think I’ll try an experiment and see if I can manipulate his Google Alerts:

CheapyD.  CAGcast.  CAG.  CheapAssGamer.  Japan.  Poop.  Porn.  Big ass chains.  Youtube.  OG.  Tampon string.  Shit.  Red ring of death.  Frombie.  Fanboy.  Pot.

There.  That should definitely bring my blog readers for this post from 2 to 3 once he wanders here looking for an ego boost.

About two weeks ago, I got No More Heroes from Gamefly and I’ve been loving it.  First of all, it’s good to have a mature game on a Nintendo console.  The blood fountains and head flying all over the stage are just a breath of fresh air.  My favorite thing about the game has to be the protagonist Travis Touchdown (what kind of name is that by the way).  It’s not often you get an otaku character in a video game that isn’t a fat, sweaty, dork you beat up for information or something.  I can’t believe there’s so many people out there that refuse to try the game because they don’t like Suda 51 because of Killer 7, or because the graphics aren’t top notch.  It isn’t often a Nintendo console gets a third party game worth getting excited over.

Sometimes I really wonder how the DS is outselling the PSP. Not because of the games or anything; DS definitely has the superior library of games. But I almost never see anyone in public actually playing a DS. As I pointed out in an earlier post, I ride the bus everyday, and I often see one or more riders either playing a PSP game or listening to music. I even saw a guy with a full head of gray hair playing one today. So where’s all the DS’ at? I’ve tried to help the cause by playing Apollo Justice and Professor Layton on my hour ride, but other people need to join in. Can I at least get one other person to play with on the way home?

I hate Michael Moore.  I really, really hate Michael Moore.  Unfortunately, I have to watch three Micheal Moore movies in my Health class this semester, and I’m just dreading it.  We had to watch Bowling for Columbine recently and do a page reaction to the film.  Now, I’m normally a slacker when it comes to writing, but my hate for Michael Moore got me to write twice that much, most of him lambasting him for being the fat douche he is.  I mean, I agree with some of his viewpoints but his films are basically propaganda that give the right plenty to pick apart.  I can’t tell you how happy I was when he blew himself up in Team America: World Police.
