No idea. It just installs it once you put the disc in for the first time.

 Alright. Thanks.

 That's about 2 months worth, so it's not that impressive.  As for Magna Carta -- I may get to it next year, but I have to play the first one yet.

Hmm I see Galaxy 2, good, Mass Effect 2, good man, good. KZ2, 3D Dot Game Heroes, FFXIII, all interesting pickups. 

Deadly Premonition? Sounds interesting, in a "so bad it's actually good" kind of way. 

I'd like to give MC2 a try.

Some of the ones you can't make out are Mega Man Zero Collection, Golden Axe, Frontlines Fuel of War and Velvet Assassin.

The guys at Warning a Huge Podcast are huge apologists for Deadly Premonition.

On one of their podcasts (I think it was 5 hours long) they spent an hour talking about what was wrong with the game, then an hour and a half on what was good with the game, followed by a 45 minute - 60 minute interview with the creative behind the game.  So after listening to all that I pretty much HAD to get it.

 It was $9.63 USD.  I think the highest price I paid out of all those games was SMG2 for $40 (after credit).  Most of them were around $26.

Pretty goood box O games my brother.  Think I'm going to pick up Metroid Other M from Best  Buy with my 15$ off rewards  zone coupon.  Probably trade a few games in at GS to get Halo Reach in a week or two.

I wouldn't go that far yet...

I understand where the over-dramaticism is coming from... Samus was raised from childhood to be a cold, hardened hunter. Something was touched in her heart when the very thing she was sent to exterminate, imprinted on her and saw her as its mother. The emotion of seeing something like that for the first time in her life, then having the baby not only sacrifice itself for her but then getting brutally annihilated shortly after, left an impression on her. It haunts her. I get it.

I'm thinking the way it is portrayed is a bit of culture shock though. The monologue, the monotone... it's often seen in Japanese anime and movies...

I dunno. Metroid from the beginning was almost seen as a "Western" styled Nintendo game. Where Fantasy was the norm, Sci-Fi was what made Metroid unique. I believe a lot of people began to associate Fantasy to the East, Sci-Fi to the West. Seeing something like Metroid with such "Eastern" presentation in the story-line... It just seems... off.

If the story is interesting enough, I can forgive this and may actually enjoy it a lot. (I'll admit I felt something when I saw the intro with Mother Brain and the Baby.)

It's just DIFFERENT right now. Different isn't always bad. It just comes across as something you're not expecting from a Metroid game.

We'll see...


 So it sucks badly. Panic! I should sell my unopened copy! AHHHH!!!

Nyaa I'll play later.

 Thats what I did. You buy the magazine right there and it comes off to saving $10. (well maybe you can sneak and rip out the coupon)

 You can do all of the 2 player parts by yourself if you have two controllers. If I had a working PS3 I could be 2 players, you could be 2 players and we could do it but that is not possible for now.

 GOTM has a good set list. LOL  I saw it in my Fry's Electronics in California for 7 years and did not get it so decided to finally pick it up. Sadly it is not  the version that came with a mic.

Can someone explain to me why I know about Hi Hi Puffy Amiyumi?  It had to be on before or after a show I watched regularly.

Tom McShea has some reasonable coverage of Other M on this week's episode of the hotspot )gamespot.com.

It's the first topic they cover, so you should be in and out of the cast in under 30 minutes.

$20 off coupons for: MGS PW, Red Dead, FFXIII
$15 off coupons for: Splinter Cell Conviction, DQ9,  Kane and Lynch 2, Metroid Other M
$10 off CoD MW2

You need to be a Best Buy Gamers Reward Zone member to use them (totally free, you sign up online)

I need a leo
I'm holding out for a leo 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta have impressions from the fight
I need a leo
I'm holding out for a leo 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

(I should be studying but as you can see I am procrastinating)

EDIT: Taken out of context those lyrics sound kind of dirty. LOL
