Howdy guys and gals. Welcome to yet another chapter in my ongoing epic. This is a very special installment. Not because of what I've chosen to discuss below, but because this is the blog that helped me to realize what my function in the universe is. Yes, at long last I've figured out why I am here, and I am eager to share my findings with you.
It's quite simple really. I don't know why I never realized it before. I was put upon the earth to perform one act and one act only: blog. It suddenly became clear to me, and my life is forever changed. I no longer think of this as a hastily written and often asinine piece of e-doody. From this moment forward, it will be my love song to the cosmos; the deep, long sigh of my soul as it sings of the weight and value of existence.
Come on. Admit it. You're a little jealous, aren't you? It's not like just anyone can blog.
"Happiness..."
......is a warm probe. Picked up "Mothership Zeta" this morning, finished it roughly an hour ago. Not bad. Not my favorite episode of DLC, but it's worth the ten dollar price tag. Those of you out there who might be itching for new alien gadgets, a surprisingly large ship to explore, or just more of that Fallout 3 goodness might want to check it out. I will say this though: the content is more in line with Op Anchorage in terms of its gameplay focus. Expect a lot of action, only expect it to be handled in a more intriguing fashion.
I've heard rumors of this being the final installment of DLC for the game. I'm not convinced. I'm fairly certain that one more episode will come out. It will finish off the remaining allowance for achievement points, raise the level cap to forty, and introduce a new weapon: the Radscorpion Launcher.
Similar to a mortar, the Radscorpion Launcher fires live scorpions at unsuspecting enemies from several hundred feet away. Though the details of how the player will manage to snare the deadly critters are still unavailable, it's doubtless that this weapon will find a place in the hearts of fans everywhere.

Movie Time
Finally managed to catch "Coraline" last week, and I must say I was really surprised at how good it was. I had kind of sworn off animated films for a while. It seems three out of every two are about animals. Out of all the math out there, this is my least favorite equation:
Animals + Doing + People Things = Funny.
I disagree.
And speaking about animated films, is anyone else stoked about "9?" It looks amazing. I just hope it has the story to back up the visuals.

Three Reasons Why I am a Jerk (Game Related, Gears and Fable 2 Spoilers ahead)
---(major SPOILER for Gears 2) When Dom had his little encounter with his wife, all I could think of was "That should be an achievement."
---I thought the same thing when Tai did his thing. I thought it should be called "Tai-Burger" and should award the player 20 points.
----(major SPOILER for Fable 2) I laughed when my dog died.

The Joy of Soap
I have a theory. I could write a four word editorial that says nothing more than "Games be good, ok?" and somebody would find something to get upset about. I have no problem with people disagreeing with a particular point of view, but when you write a blog that is based simply on curiosity, and someone takes the time to argue with your "opinion," well, that's the internet at its funniest. I guess they could have made the argument that I wasn't impartial enough when it came to describing our playing habits, but those weren't even the points that were criticized. Ah well.
"I be in ur page, not readin' ur whole blogz."
Guess that's it for now folks. Thanks as always.
Comments
I always love it when I post something that might be a page or two if it were a paper for school and people claim that its too long. No wonder kids today are so damn stupid... they're too lazy to be smart. Perhaps if we started writing blogs using that crap that kids type when they text we'll get more views.
As for Fallout 3 - it's never really appealed to me but if they did introduce a radscorpion launcher then I'd definitely pick up a copy
@nicklech16: I agree: 3D would be fantastic. That's how I watched Coraline, and it was pretty impressive.
@eajack: Now that was a cool gun. I wish they'd make a sequel to that game.
@rebelway: That's one of those movies I like to watch when I can't decide what I want to see. Seems like I never get tired of it.
@laughlyn12:You may be on to something. Maybe the future of succeful blogging is in the butchering of the language. We could all start typing like we're creating personalized licence plates. I cant w8 2 c if it werks.
@Dinkyfish:
@floristandbicyc: You mean like a severed arm with razor blades taped to it? That could be pretty funny, actually. I guess the closest the game gets is the Deathclaw Gauntlet.
green+scorpion+that kills+fast=radioactive scorpion :s right ?
As for the Fable II thing... I really wish I had not read that as I don't like spoilers too much.
@payne6705: Hehehe. Tai-Burger.
@Sandpiper121PP: I'm actually a fairly sensitive guy for the most part. I just have a really hard time caring about characters in video games. And sorry for the spoiler.
@TheLonlyPenguin:I love that scene. "Everybody spread the word. I live in my sister's basement."
@bacchus2 Regarding Fable II: choose wisely
@tprezzy12: It feels good to know that my puzzle piece fits somewhere.
The Radscorpion Launcher is a weapon that sounds amazing. I also like the sketch you have of the launcher in action, trying to kill a mole rat! Very nice. 9 looks like an interesting film. What, did they decide to do Little Big Planet in cinema form?
@david_lck: I'd use it. A lot.

Oh no, I read the Fable 2 spoiler, I couldn't help myself
I think you may find the internet at its funniest at bash.org
