Your Friendly Neighborhood Video Game Nerd?

Alright, so the post from just before [Silly Heathen!] is for yesterday. I think I've decided on a general "schedule" for this blogging thing... Monday-Friday. Weekends are drinking days and I'm afraid of what I would post up here, under the influence. God, am I afraid of that...

Anyway! Some of you [all... 5? of you readers out there] should notice something is... Not quite as it was before... Hmm. Strange. [Dr. Strange, that is! Sorry, couldn't resist... I love Marvel!]

The "new" thing is the "Headlines" part of the blog, look... It's right ->>>>>>> thattaway. Nifty, isn't it? I can put whatever kind of genre I want into it and it pulls up Google news articles ABOUT that genre. So, say... If I wanted to know more about "Porn"... I'd just type in "Porn" and BAM! Sexy news. Literally.

Now, there's a few genres so far... World, Technology, Crime, and War. If anyone thinks of a really good one [I swear to God, people, I hate each and every one of you already thinking of commenting the word "Porn" to this post. You suck.] just let me know in a comment.

So. I missed yesterday's post and barely posted over the weekend, BEFORE I decided on the schedule to not include weekends... Why, you ask?

Spiderman.

Yeah, that's right. Spiderman. Web of Shadows, to be precise... For the 360! Yo me gusta Spiderman! WOO! Now, I've been a huge fan of the Spiderman games since the first one. I think I really fell in love with them in the second one, though, when they HUGELY improved the web-swinging, which is every young web-head's dream [actually doing it, anyway]

The recent fad of these "open game, you can decide to be good or evil" games really struck gold with Spiderman WoS. You get multiple chances to choose between good [symbolized by the red and blue suit] and evil [symbolized by the black suit] and, naturally, I chose to be evil more often than not. It didn't seem to affect too much, except the cutscenes. In the end, I got all of the same allies [which you unlock as you come across famous Marvel characters... Vulture, Wolverine, Black Cat, etc. etc.] Oh, and of course it affected how your game ended. I was an evil son of a gun by then, so naturally I wanted to rip the teeth out of little kiddies after defeating Venom. I was surprised at the ending, though, it definitely wasn't what I was expecting... Which is awesome!

Now. All of the cool stuff aside, I need to load the game back up and look at the ending credits, find out who they hired for voice-acting Spiderman and personally hire an assassin. God. Awful. I hated every time the damn person spoke... It was nasally, it was annoying... It made me want to stab myself in the ear with a pen.

Overall, the game was great. If I had time [or motivation] I'd do a proper Pro/Con list and write a review... BUT! Hey... Hmm. I don't have a witty one-liner for this particular situation. And you know what? I'm not gonna bother sitting and trying to think of any, because let's face it. What are the bloody odds, now?!

Think on THAT philosophy, why don't ya?
