So, Im pleased to say I finally beat Klungo Saves Teh Universse!

It was arduous. It was grueling. It was ssssuper frussstrating. However, after a short breaking (including one full nights sleep, a regiment of cleaning, a day of work, and a nap), I was able to beat that most awful of levels: Uranus. Trust me, if youve never played either of his two games, youre doing yourself a favor and preventing thoseextra grays.

But hey, I finally did it, and in doing so, managed to get my first 100% complete non-arcade title. HOLLA. Always thought it would be one of my other games, but hey, me likey gamerscore. I no complain.

I really have to admit, Rare really knows how to do dlc. "Lets take the worst, most frustrating aspects of BK: NAB and make more!" I'd be willing to be that sentence was thrown down sometime during production. Why on this green Earth would anyone want to make more of the crapfest known as Klungo Saves the Earth? Klungo Saves the Universe is even worse, so once again, congrats Rare. Thank you for continuously making me want to throw my controller out the window and do unspeakable things to the developer who decided to bring Klungo's game back.

Really, I cant say thanks enough.

hated a game company so much before as I HATE, HATE, HATE Rare for giving us the piece of trash known as Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts. Due to my enthusiasm for getting achievements (aka Im an achievement whore), I decided to get them all, including the DLC. The fact is most of the challenges are racing andd the vehicle physics in this game absolutely BLOW! On top of that, they decided to force their awful vehicle upon us which handle like sh**.

Thanks Rare! Thanks a lot.

So, I have to admit, despite the multitude of leaks before E3, I was still pleasantly surprised by numerous announcements, both for good and ill.

One of the first surprises felt like "ITS ABOUT TIME!" Alan Wake. I had a strong feeling it was coming, but hey, with this game, you never could tell. Small bits of info were creeping out but you had to really pay attention to notice them. The other surprising game was Golden Sun on the DS. That one threw me for a curve. I've been waiting ages and ages, and if Im being honest, that game being released was mostly dream. As excited as I am to see my favorite GBA series return, Im really nervous. DS games in 3D usually look awful and thats how theyre doing it. Considering it has taken this long, hopefully they know what theyre doing.

The other surprise was the lack of HL2: Episode 3, replaced by Left 4 Dead 2. Most people would tend to agree with me onthis one. Honestly, do we really need a new L4D so close after the last one? New dlc was just released not even a month or so ago. Consider this: the three episodes were episodic content, meant to be released in short intervals, the final being out by Dec 2007. Its been two years since the second in Dec 2007. Valve sucks with episodic content. Rather than release a new L4D we should have had this. Heck, we should have had some update to anything else, like Portal or Team Fortress but not L4D, only one year (to the exact day) after its original release. Way to blow E3 Valve.

So yeah, E3 has definently been good so far

Post obligatory zombie picture here

I just finished Bioshock not evenan hour ago, I jest you not. "Never one to challenge Providence,"I join the masses in total praise of the game. Much to my chivalric honor, I witnessed the ending after saving all the little sisters, those sassy little dames (And i do mean ALL 473 little sisters). It made me feel both warm and fuzzy yet also a little empty now knowing I have to find another game to play.

I'm afraid of what might happen if they make a sequel. Little sisters grow up, maybe?

Ouch.

Hmm... great first game for my new 360, but what will be able to follow its act?

Make sure you see The Simpsons Movie. This movie is sheer and utter brilliance! Humor is boundless, whether it be one of the many witty social parodies or just Homer bumbling through his daily life. Due to the recent onslaught of horrible TV-to-Hollywood movies (*cough* TMNT), one might be skeptical about this movie as well. Fear not, however, as this movie is not only a great example of a movie based on a TV show, but it is also one of the better comedies made this year.

For me, this movie really shined in its brilliant political and social satire. It is so well-scripted that to pick up on it, you really have to be on your game. For instance, during mass at church, Homer is fruitlessly flipping through a Bible, claiming, "There's no answers in here!" However, sometimes, it does seem to be ineffective unless you are up-to-date on current events. The presidential aide makes a brilliant reference to the post events of Hurricane Katrina, comparing an actual dome placed over the Simpson's town of residence to the dome, other Superdome, claiming that people got out of the dome before and the people of Springfield can get out of theirs.

After seeing this movie, I have become a believer of the power of The Simpsons. Whether you're a long-time fan, just getting into the series, or have never watched an episode in their life, this movie has one thing to set it apart from the crowd this summer: an angry, pitchfork-wielding mob.

Last time we saw a mob like this, we were given Resident Evil 4. An indication of quality? I think so.
