So I've been building up my PS3 collection quite fast, can't deny this. I'll start at the beginning. And prepare yourself, as this will probably be one hell of a blog. I've probably done bigger in the past, but comparing this to myprevious blogs as of late, this one is a monster.
For some reason, we had a day off today. Yep, thing is, the client sent the project we were on in submission without telling us, so yesterday (which was Thursday, July 31st) basicaly was the last day on the project. Here's how it happened. The day starts, everything is fine, then maybe halfway through the day, we learn that there is a new check list, or new lkist of criterias if you want, to respect on the console. So hey, my PM (Project Manager) sends an e-mail to the client asking 'em if they want us to do start off new with the new list. What we got for an answer was "Nah, continue on with the old list, we've already sent the game in submission anyway." AWESOME! Thanks for letting us know in advance or at least taking the time to ask us our opinion, since we know the project will fail submission, awesome move guys.
All this led us to a day off today, four of us actually, since the fifth guy never does over time anyway and wasn't there when we planned the day off. It's all cool, I'm glad I got a day off cause I really need to relax as of late. Thing is I went crazy the other day at work right in my PM's face, all this caused by me being sick (I've got a cold that comes right from hell I tell ya), lack of time for myself, a hell lot of overtime which also leads to lack of rest for my mind and my body along with more personal stuff which I won't include in the blog, because well, it's stuff that I don't feel like talking about. So I can't say the day off, making it a 3 days weekend, wasn't welcomed. To the oposite, I greatly appreciate it.
Anyway, so my sister's birthday is right around the corner and I decided to buy her a Digital Camera. Yep, I'm that cool. I actually spend a lot of money whenever I buy presents for my sister, love her. So I went to FutureShop today, as well do it now, since I had a day off and it'll leave me the rest of the weekend to chill and relax comfortably at home. Thing is, me + FutureShop? How the hell am I supposed to come back with only my sister's gift for her birthday? Results: I came back with a brand new DualShock 3 controller for my PS3 along with two new PS3 games. Way to spend a few hundred bucks quickly! Especially with the price of games and that crazy, even insane price for a DualShock 3 controller that fails to even come with a USB cable to recharge it.
All in all, it was quite an expensive day. I'll let you in on the two games I bought today, I just couldn't resist. First game that caught my eye is Devil May Cry 4: Collector's Edition. HELL YEAH! I know, DMC4 will be around for a long time, plus I am only halfway through the third title so right now, the game is useless to me. Why did I buy it? Because the Collector's Edition is becoming rare lately and can hardly be found, over here anyway. The day I got my PS3 is the day that every single copies of the Collector's Edition version disappeared from the shelves. So, gotta say I simply could not resist the impulse this time around. Bought it. I was standing there, and I was telling myself "dude.. you're so going to be broke.. but damn.. I can't let this one slip through my hands!" True story.
Old pic, but it's the best I could find and that's pretty much what the box actually looks like, minus the Rating Pending.
Anyway, the Collector's Edition of DMC4 comes in a cool, kick ass tin case and contains the game, a bonus DVD containing an art gallery, the game soundtrack, a making of video and some exclusive PC content. Not only that, but it also comes with a second, yes, second DVD which is the first Volume of the DMc Animated Series, containing 4 full length episodes,exclusive videos and trailers of the game DMC4, and whatever else that I forgot. So yep, for any fan of Devil May Cry, this Collector's Edition kicks ass. Here's a pic I found on the net of the tin case when it is opened, which shows the front and back covers. Know that the blue, stylish cover is only some kind of plastic sleeve in which you fit the tin case.
Dante is the front, but they both fit in the small clear hole of the plastic sleeve, so you can half-customize the looks of the case when it is in the plastic sleeve lol.
Now to move onto the second game which I could not resist. he game in question is LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga. Hey, I just couldn't resist. I've been looking for that game ever since I got a PS3, and it's the first time I actually find it.Adding to the impulse of buying it, they only had ONE single copy of the game. Looks like LEGO Indiana Jones will have to wait, cause yeah, I do plan on buying LEGO Indiana Jones as well eventually lol. So yeah, why was this a must? Because it is a great game and on top of this, it is damn hilarious lol. This game definitely has way too many unlockable characters, it's to a point where it is ridiculous. It'll take me like what.. a life time to unlock all of these characters? Without forgetting all the extras and all these other unlockable stuff. Quite ridiculous, but awesome.
So, hope you enjoyed, because I rarely make such blogs anymore due to lack of time (too much work), and lack of.. happenings in my life. All I've been doing is wake up, take a coffee, chill around on the internet or the PS3, go to work, come back and open up a beer while playing a game for an hour or so, go to bed, and repeat almost everyday of the week. High season at work sure gives me alot of money, but it sure is hard to go through. Anyway, if anyone has Mortal Kombat II on PSN, holla at me, cause I'm going to receive my credit card next week, and MKII is number 1 in my downloads alongside Super Stardust HD, which I plan on buying the add-on for multiplayer Co-Op. So hey, Navigata, I don't know if you got the add-on for multiplayer in Super Stardust HD, but seeing how you love the game, you should consider it when I buy it! lol.
Thanks for reading this monster to anyone who reached the end.
