I'm about to make my podcast debut.
For a couple months now, I have been writing off and on for gaming website Aeropause.com. This week I joined their mostly-weekly podcast for some chatter about Metal Gear and such. Watch Aeropause for podcast episode #35! Maybe I'll become a regular...
DC remembered Mr. Terrific is an atheist.
The current Kingdom Come/Gog storyline in Justice Society just keeps getting better. In the latest issue, Gog rises out of the ground, proclaims himself a god, and toolboxes like Lance start believing it. Mr. T points out that the JSA has met plenty of gigantic powerful entities before and none of them were supernatural deities. I love that guy.
And then Mr. Terrific tries to talk to Gog, but Gog can't or won't hear him, but Gog does listen to "believer" Amazing Man... which leads to some hilarious back-and-forth.
Local Disney Store closing.
Bit of a shock... the Park City Disney Store has been in operation for at least 15 years. It was the site of a semi-famous college gag where me and some pals tried to walk from the front of the store and back out without being confronted by a cast member. All but one of us got tagged almost immediately... and the guy who got through couldn't attract their attention no matter what he did.
We just happened to stumble into this store's last day of operation yesterday... I snapped a couple pictures of the barren shelves and was yelled at by the clerk.
Buffet = gateway song.
I doubt anybody was expecting a trio of Jimmy Buffet songs to hit Rock Band but it happened. I picked them up, happy to support something that isn't bland indie rock or obnoxious metal. On easy and medium, the Buffet songs are roughly equivalent to the easiest thing in the world, which makes me think they're intended to be gateway songs for Dads and Grandads who have never played Rock Band before.
Nice: unlike many Rock Band songs, this pack is pretty much the artist's greatest hits. You can probably guess; Margaritaville, Cheeseburger in Paradise and Volcano. I think they are all new recordings by Mr. Parrothead. Volcano at least is, because Jimmy has changed a line in the middle to specifically mention Rock Band.
12+ hours into No More Heroes.
I'm up to assassin rank 3. There is so much greatness in this game. I want to list everything, but it all deserves to be protected as spoilers. Plenty of swearing, truly bizarre cutscenes, clever boss fights, sexy ladies, collectibles, fun combat, nice use of Wii features... it all more than covers the ugly graphics, repetitious sidequests and lame open world.
I will say that it took me about eight hours before I realized you can kick dumpsters to find free money or secret t-shirt designs.
