My favorite retort to bitter Nintendo fans about Rare:

If Rare was still at Nintendo, all of Kazooie's moves would be replaced with a spin move that you do by wiggling the wii-mote.

Oh my. It's been over a month hasn't it? I apologize but in all honesty, Azeroth is far more compelling then this site or any other site for that matter. I'm only here typing this up because my playing time is expired and I really don't feel like doing summer work.

World of Warcraft is AMAZING. I don't know where to start. I suppose I can continue to talk in short, general sentences with no meaningful thought or development. Initially, I rolled as a Blood Elf Warlock named "Ginnyweasley" on an Oceanic server. The first thing that struck me was the art in this game. The architecture present in the Blood Elf Starting Zone is so mystifying and unique of any game I've played, and it looks so goregoeous on my Laptop that is in no way conditioned for games. Silvermon City shares the same look on a grander scale. Beyond the graphics though, choosing your class and race is a very intimate experience. I ended up choosing a warlock based on the description provided by the game and the ability to always have a pet summoned to fight for you. I got to LV 36 before I decided to change it up a bit and decided to move on to a PVP server and roll as a Human Paladin. Being able to run into battle with some of the heaviest armor available is a stark contrast to the way you play a Warlock. I managed to get my Paladin up to LV 22 before my free month subscription ended and now I have to wait until I get payed on Thursday to pick up a Player Card from Radioshack or somewhere. But enough MMO talk for you console kiddies, let's move onto E3! Let's go in order of the confrences I was most happy with to the ones I was least happy with. With that said....

I think Microsoft had the strongest E3 by far. Whenever I watch a conference by them, I feel like I made the right coice each and every time. The constant stream of high quality titles coming out on a monthly basis is uttterly insane. Fallout 3? Do want. Resident Evil 5 with online co-op and hot new female lead? DO WANT. BANJO KAZOOIE: NUTS AND BOLTS AND THE ORIGINAL BANJO-KAZOOIE COMING TO XBLA WITH REDONE TEXTURES, STOP N SWAP, LEADERBOARDS, AND ACHIEVEMENTS. DO MOTHER******* WANT. *ahem* Seriously the content is insane and Rare is delivering a new downloadable title, new Banjo, and new Viva Pinata within months of eachother? *explodinghead.gif* The cherry on top was the announcment that Final Fantasy XIII would be multiplatform. While that is certainly exciting, I'm more excited for Versus XIII (which is essentially Kingdom Hearts) but I'm happy more people will get to enjoy the game, and if the combat is horrid, I'll pick it up as well.

I'll abstain from commenting on Sony's conference because I don't own the PS3, however I was mighty impressed by Little Big Planet, Resistance 2, and MAG. If I was a PS3 owner, I'd be content with what was shown.

Ready for some Nintendo hate? I'm feeling the flames itching on my fingertips and when I post this blog over on Giant Bomb, I assure you this will be uncensored and much more rant-filled. I don't go into E3 conferences with big expectations, I want to begin my analysis with this. After Nintendo's E3 2007 love fest of Wii Fit, I figured 2008 was going to be the same. But boy was I wrong. Nintendo was flatout EMBARASSING. Wii Sports Resort: The Tech Demo with a peripheral we are going to force on you for our future games! Animal Crossing: City Folk; the third game in the series that looks EXACTLY THE SAME as the previous two entries and no evolution such as MMO capabilites! And finally, Wii Music! The latest in the Wii Blank series that serves no real satisfying gameplay and can be summed up like this:

If anyone is anticipating Wii Music, please doing the following:

1. Using your computer, radio, iHome, etc. choose a song you want to play to.

2. Grab your Wiimote and wave your hands around wildly while holding down the "A" Button.

3. Congratulations! You are playing Wii Music! Yay!

Nintendo...WTF? I didn't expect Zelda, Mario, KID ICARUS REVIVAL OMFG111. I expected a short teaser trailer with the likely showing of Pikmin 3 or lesser franchise (not demeaning Pikmin in anyway). My issue with the Wii is that 1 high profile game gets released and then it is drought time. I bought Smash back in March and it's almost August; I have yet to purchase a new Wii game. The fantastic thing about the 360 is how so many high quality titles are coming out on a monthly basis. In July alone, Civilization Revolution and Soul Calibur IV are landing onto the scene. My Wii purchases for the year are done. No More Hereos and Smash Bros....that's it. The lack of high quality, consistent content is what pisses me off about Nintendo.

*end rage*

Some side notes:

  • I will post on your blogs later tonight! I can't play Wow, so nothing is stoping me!
  • The Very Best...I will PM you TA2 details in the near future.

Later guys and gals!

Here I am on Giant Bomb!

This was my first time actually editing together a video, so don't kill me because it's barbaric transitions. At least I know how to edit audio.

Feedback and opinions of GTA IV yourselves please.

Now this is a story, all about how
Spiral Mountain got flipped, turned upside down
Now I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there
To tell you how I got my sister back down from Grunty's Lair.

In south Spiral Mountain, born and raised
With Kazooie was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool
An' peckin' some carrots and swimmin' in the pool

When an ugly old hag – she was up to no good
Started makin' trouble in my neighbourhood.
She flew away with my sister and Kazooie got scared;
She said, "You'd better get us movin' right up to Grunty's Lair."

I whistled for the mole and when he came near
I said "Yo Bottles, show us some new moves, you hear?"
If anything they weren't good enough for this bear
But I thought, "No, forget it. Yo home to the lair!"

We got up to the tower around seven or eight
And I yelled to Gruntilda, "Yo hag, smell you later!"
Kicked her right off, she didn't think it was fair
That she'd been outdone by a bird and a bear.

Some people just don't have opinions. Like ZeldaMaster32.
ZeldaMaster32 must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could ZeldaMaster32 possibly have for not rating a single film?
