Chicken Butt.

I just got off my suspension last night. I was suspended for over 7 days because I told someone on system wars they were acting like a moron. Big mistake. Never point out the obvious. But it angers me I didn't even directly call them a moron, though he totally deserved it. Gamespot moderators are a joke. I sure hope I don't get suspended for saying that.

Speaking of system wars I don't understand the whole fanboy thing. What is so great about having an exclusive? Does it really hurt you that much if the game goes to another console? You don't need to justify your purchase of the system by having the most third party exclusives. If you really care why don't you get 2 systems? Or for the really hardcore, all three? They really aren't THAT much money. You can get a 360 for a bit more than the price of 3 new games for it. Of course not everyone should do this, but if you're upset enough to complain then you ought to. And all the system bashing and stereotypes are real immature as well.

I've been playing Ninja Gaiden II, No More Heroes, Metroid Prime 3, Super Mario Galaxy, Peggle, Soul Calibur II, Street Fighter IV, Halo 3 and Brawl this summer. Ninja Gaiden II and No More Heroes remind me a lot of eachother because they are both action games that definitely have their appeal, but they are VERY unpolished. Ninja Gaiden II is a lot of fun, but there is tons of slowdown and the ai is so cheap it's ridiculous. Whenever you walk into a room there's someone you can't see at first going to attack you. So much for being a ninja right? On top of that enemies spawn behind you and above you coming out of nowhere to surprise you. Most of the damage you'll take is either from the annoyingly cheap grab attacks from some of the fiends where they grab you and repeatedly beat the crap out of you and then throw you back or the ranged attacks. You are constantly being shot at by fireballs, arrows on fire and rockets. I wish I could post a video of the annoyance I had in a few parts of the game where you're having a projectile fight. You'll get hit by like ten rockets and then you get up and are about to shoot and then ten more hit you. Or when you're surrounded by flying fiends it's the same thing. Also whenever you get close to a rocket guy in hopes of killing him he'll launch em right before you get to him so you always take damage. I should probably mention the camera. It's cool that you get control over it, but the game could atleast point you in the right direction every once and a while. Moving the camera while your fighting is frusturating. It's official, Ryu is the worst ninja ever.

But complaints aside it's still an enjoyable game with hilarious gameplay, long chapters, awesome weapons and great graphics. No More Heroes is interesting because it's half tedious half awesome. The bosses are among the most enjoyable I've ever played and certainly the coolest cast of bosses. Travis himself is pretty awesome too. The gameplay has a good system going for it too and the story is great. The graphics are low quality but there's a big emphasis on ****over substance. This games got **** However the openworld parts of the game are so boring and tedious that you wonder if you should just stop playing. There's not much to do except take jobs and do some assassin jobs to make money. These are okay, but you end up doing the same thing over and over again and everytime you fail anything the game makes you drive all the way back there instead of just letting you restart. The overworld is awful filled with glitches too which is weird because it's so simple. I have faith NMH2 will be a much better game.

I recently got a membership at a gym. Been going there almost everyday. As far as movies, Transformers sucked something awful. Harry Potter and Bruno were pretty good though.

I got Peggle which is awesome I reccommend it to anyone with xbox live. It's one of the most addicting games I've ever played. And I started some of my old games. I forgot how great Metroid Prime 3 was and I can't wait for Trilogy. I finally got all 120 stars in Galaxy and unlocked you know who. The greatest character ever.

Oh and shout out to 2good2betrue who recently came back from the dead

Stay out of caves. That will be all.

Welcome back and glad you enjoyed the game.

I honestly don't bother going to System Wars. You don't understand the whole fanboy thing because it's pointless, plain and simple. The people who argue about one console's superiority even though every console has something unique to offer just don't have anything better to do. There's some good people in the System Wars boards but too many that aren't worth going there for.

Also, I totally agree with you on No More Heroes. I think I talked about this in my blog

Squirrel Butt is much better than that of a chicken!

GameSpot mods could be a lot better. Some are just plain biased, but I'm not into the whole System Wars thing anyways. Sorry to hear about the suspension.

NMH was plain awesome, one of the best action games out there and certainly the best on the Wii. The motorcycling parts were frustrating, though.. Hopefully those won't be in NMH2.

Hmmm. Who exactly did you unlock in Galaxy??

He unlocked my favorite Nintendo character as well!

Yeah NMH was really fun at parts and undeniably awesome. I reccommend anyone who hasn't played it to rent it. I don't think it's worth the purchase, but I get the feeling NMH2 will be worth a buy.

And as far as the character in Galaxy, it starts with Lou and rhymes with Schmuigi.

I totally agree with you aswell. It's super easy to get suspended on System Wars aswell. And Welcome Back to pure awesomeness on Gamespot!
