Well I suppose I owe an apology to anybody looking forward to that Top 10 Funny Games thing I was planning on doing. I think I may have bit off a little more than I could chew with that one. I had no intentions of disappointing anybody so as I began looking at games and your posts I figured that to be impossible. Instead of slapping together a list that would probably get more criticism than compliments I decided to just skip it and not create one at all. On top of all that my computer died, I had a change in hours at work and several other smaller things happening at the same time. Of course I would like to update this blog regularly but it isn't exactly on the top of my priorities once the chips are down. So I apologize to anybody who wanted to see that list, because it won't be happening at least not any time soon. However I may do something similar just showing off a few games that are funny, numbers always make things more complicated than they need to be.

Alright, now that is out of the way I'll give you guys an update on what exactly I have been up to for the past month, at least as far as gaming goes. I'll start with games I've purchased since I've not posted. Since my 360 is my only "next gen" console I'll start with...and finish with that. I actually ran in to pit of a gaming rut there in late December and early January, I'm sure I wasn't the only one to notice the lack of decent games. That pretty much came to a screeching hault about three weeks ago with Burnout Paradise.

Burnout Paradise is actually going to go down in my life as one of the most memorable moments in gaming...no not just gaming actually one of the single most memorble experiences in my life all together. Now most of you are probably like, "what? Burnout wasn't that good!!!1111!!1" you'd be right, that isn't what makes this game so memorable for me. I was playing online late one night just doing some challenges with some random people, nice people too, and out of no where a new player joins. Well this isn't usually too big of a deal, but then I read the gamertag, "GameSpotting". I was instantly like, "That's Jeff Gertsmann!" I had to make sure, so I took him down, and as the picture flashed on my screen I saw none other than the grinning mug of our favorite former GameSpot editor. It wasn't enough that he was just in the room with me either, over the next few days I managed to join several rooms with him(via the recent players list). We talked about Rez HD, Achievements and our concept for a dirt track owner simulator(think Dirt Track Tycoon). Eventually my players list became full of other random players and he was bumped off, but that will easily become one of my most memorable moments in gaming and even life.

Just last week I picked up Devil May Cry 4 and have yet to finish so I'll wait until a future post before I go too in depth on this game. However I will say that the story line has had more "oh that was awesome" moments than I can remember from the past games.

I have also been waiting for Turok from Gamefly for about two weeks now too, but the massive popularity of the dino-hunter seems to be getting in the way of my knife killing needs. I have had that game in my "GameQ" alone for about two weeks and the "very low availability" sign next to it is starting to mock me. Although I have had a chance thanks to GameFly to play one of last years overlooked titles, Eternal Sonata.

Eternal Sonata is not a game you'll want to pick up unless you have a very large attention span, as of four hours in I'm pretty sure I've spent more time watching than playing. I think I can handle it though, this game literally revolutionizes the turn based RPG. Seriously if you are fan of turn based games and you haven't played this you are doing yourself very poorly. I have yet to complete this game either, so until then I'll remain vague on the details.

So as you can see I've got plenty of game ahead of me, so I should probably get to it. Again sorry to anybody expecting that Top Ten Funny Games list but I may get something related out eventually. I'll try to get back into updating this blog weekly and thanks to anybody who is still willing to read.

Until next time.....that was SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
