If anybody still reads this/cares I've decided to do some more of my award winning reviews. So far my list is this:
Seeing how Soul Calibur IV comes out on Tuesday I figured it's time to get some things off my chest regarding the game. Firstly...
This makes sense. An undead pirate fighting a Frenchman in what I'm assuming a 16th or 18th century setting. Where as this...
DOESN'T! To this day I don't understand it. How can someone from like a million years into the future fight somebody with primitive weapons and still be a fair fight. Ontop of that Mr.Starkiller(guy on the right from Star Wars: Force Unleashed) as well as Yoda and Darth Vader all have Force powers to boot. It should be noted that they three do have a Force bar that drains with the use of each move and eventually their health bar drains after excessive use of Force powers.
I guess my biggest problem is that the inclusion of Star Wars characters in the Soul Calibur universe seems very out of place and it looks like Namco Bandai is jumping the shark. As far as I know time travel has never been a theme or mentioned in any piece of Star Wars canon or fiction. I'm not a super huge Star Wars nerd but I do have very fond memories of the movies and Knights of the Old Republic and Battlefront games. I also have very fond memories of Soul Calibur II on the Gamecube and I guess I'm worried about the balance of IV.
Despite my complaints I did put down a deposit on the game and will pick it up on day 1 and the best part is if I don't like it or whatever I can return it within a week to EB games and get a full refund which is pretty nice.
On Saturday (well technically Sunday morning) I made a thread about someone who keeps randomly showing up for a few seconds in the middle of MuchMusic shows(It's kind of like MTV but they atleast try to show videos). Anyways I was watching Much last night out just to see if my mystery man would show up and he did this time holding a sign with a website address written on it.
Site doesn't work atleast not for me but after the 1.5 seconds of Goggle searching I came to this.

^The face of the phreak.
The blog itself gives me some information. phreak615 appears (this being the keyword) a disgruntled Much employee who seems to be able to hack the Master Feed because from what I've heard this isn't just a Toronto thing. I'm not really sure what to make of this. If this is just somebody trying to push the buttons of a broadcaster who neglects actuall music videos for stuff like the OC and that damn Girlicious show then I'm all for it but I'm pretty sure this is some viral marketing stunt because we all know how much advertisers love those.
On a side note there is an e-mail given on it's Blogspot profile so I may e-mail this character and see what's what if I even get a real response from it(him/her? I'm not really sure).
I am a Wii owner and proud of it. My little white box has brought me much joy since I purchased it. Albeit, I don't own that many games for it and there lies the the problem. Wii games suck. I know what I said. The Wii (currently) is being treated like the Gamecube. Getting half-baked ports of older games (ie Mortal Kombat: Armeggedon, Prince of Persia: Rival Swords) or the crappiest version of newer games (Spiderman 3, Transformers). If it's supposedly the fast sell console in history then why is it everytime I have money to buy a game I always wind up buying a new DS cart. I find it sad when the best Wii games out there happen to be ports of games released on the Gamecube from either last year(I know the Wii version was first but it original started out as a GC gameso get over it fanboys) or two years ago (Resident Evil 4). Although times are changing, crappy Wii games continue to flood the market. Even Nintendo tries to pass off Pokemon Battle Revolution as a must have Pokemon Wii game. I call bs. Call it what it really is, Pokemon Stadium Pearl/Diamond. That brings me to another point. Where's the online play? 360 and PS3 had it right out of the box and we have to wait almost a year to get Wifi games coming out. In the past I've said that Sony needs to get their act together with the PS3 but now Nintendo is also showing signs of not caring about their consumer base. So here's a simple list of what ( I think) should be done to help the Wii stay a contender.
1. NO MORE MINI-GAME COMPLIATIONS!!! Seriously guys, if you want to avoid the gimmick stigma then stop letting developers release them on your system.
2. Fix online. The Wifi Connection works fine but friend codes are annoying. Surely it'd be alot easier to give each unit it's own little unique code instead of shoving a bunch of numbers down our thoats.
3.No more ports. As good as RE4: Wii Edition is the system needs more original games. I'm tired of developers trying to sell me an old game just because it's on the Wii. A turd is still a turd even if it's wrapped in gold fabric.
I'm not trying to hate but over the last little while I've been questioning my Wii's existence and contemplated selling it so I can buy a Elitel 360. So Nintendo, either shape up or I'm going to "Jump In".
That's right. I've official complied my own "On Notice Board" made famous and being held by Stephen Colbert. Sure it may look random but there are reasons for the names. First off...
I needed another excuse to post this. I'll elaborate later..
