I realized I haven't posted in about a month, and so much has happened since then! Sorry I haven't given any TGS updates, so hope you guys were checking out the event page instead 
I haven't even had a chance to sort through photos, butI'll be sure to post some tasty-looking food pics here eventually! Overall, TGS was fun, but not as fun as last year. Mostly because the show was a bit sad with less publishers and people.
This isn't going to be a very interesting blog post without pictures, but I'll try to organize my stuff this weekend and post something next week. In the meantime, I had a chance to play New Super Mario Bros. Wii and I love it! It's a lot like Super Mario 3, which is one of my favourite games of all time (Mario World comes very very close). The multiplayer is a bit chaotic, like Little Big Planet, but the controls are tight and it's everything you love about 2D Mario.
Have you guys been watching TOTS? It's getting better don't you think? I'm sorry I haven't been catching up on your blogs, I'll try to get around to that soon. Hope everyone is doing well and participating in the All-Time Greatest Game Hero thing... I can't believe Mario is NOT winning!!! Makes me sad 
Maybe if I actually played Half-Life I wouldn't be as upset, I'm sure Gordon's a fantastic individual.
On a random note, I saw Zombieland last night. I don't like zombie movies, and I never watch them intentionally. I am Legend is the only one I can think of, and it kind of threw me off guard because I didn't realize there were zombies until later 
I generally avoid scary horror movies, even the really fake ones. But I thought Zombieland was hilarious, even though I was grossed out by some of it.But it wasn't one of those horrible movies where it's so bad you think it's funny, I thought it was genuinely funny!
Rule #1 to surviving Zombieland - Cardio.
Rule #2 - Double Tap.
It doesn't seem like anything else is worth watching in theatres at this point. The last movie I saw before Zombieland was The Proposal--which was cute btw.
Have a good weekend!

Do you think New SMB Wii would be fun if played alone? I'm worried I won't enjoy as much as most people if I buy it.
I'm really enjoying TOTS. The show seems to have found its groove lately. Everyone's doing a great job of squeezing as much info as possible into their short segments
Also, I didn't realize what a cool acronym the show had until I saw it in your blog just now.
Mario not being in the lead saddens me. Why can't the internet share all of my opinions and values?!
And I agree with you about the Internet.
I am also shocked about Mario for not going in the lead, I hope he can recover though. Have a great weekend as well.
Well You know it Valve is cheating, It's promoting Freeman on forums, One good way to have a fair competition would have been that users at lest 3 month old only would have been able to vote..............
Still Freeman is great character but nothing huge then solid Snake & The Legendary Link, Who can say that Link or The big daddy of gaming world Plumber could have been beaten........
Only good thing wee can expect from this competition is that Valve realizes it & release Half Life 2 Episode 3 soon.............
Have a good time
.....I'm glad to hear good things about Zomebieland, the trailer looked pretty funny.. but I've been hurt before.
Probably because they're wasn't a live show which use to show quite a bit of it off
The Greatest Hero thing... I don't know. I feel like I should care about Valve campaigning, but every company had the opportunity to do it. Valve was just the only one to actually take action on it, and they reaped some massive benefits. However it turns out, there were some genuinely interesting matches going on and some real surprises.
I wasn't too interested in NSMB Wii at first, but as more has come out, I've warmed up to the idea. It sounds like it's a lot more challenging than all the recent Mario games, and that's good, because a lot of them felt really easy, like Super Mario Sunshine.
What was your favorite thing at TGS this year?
At first I was skeptical seeing as it initially looked like the ds version ported up to the wii...but I think it looks so fun that I think I'll be able to over look that.
The Studio Ghibli game, Ninokuni looked great too. Those were the highlights of what I covered.
If you're referring to the more recent release of "I am Legend", I'm not sure it can be classified as a zombie movie - the "infected" of the original book were victims of vampirism (as disease), and although Matheson's narrative also included a second, distinct group of undead more closely resembling the zombie stereotype, that distinction is not explicitly made in the Francis Lawrence version of the film.
If you'd like a good, though funny, zombie-apocalypse movie (in a typically British under-stated manner), try Shaun of the Dead
Apologies ... occasionally the pedantic geek within emerges!
I have not tryed the new mario, so will check that out. C U!Ps God bless!!
yay another Canadian!
