Spider-Man: FWiiend or Foe

I originally hadn’t planned on playing this game until after I finished the ones I was currently playing. (Yeah, I don’t like playing several different games at once. I like to focus on one and play it until one of us dies.)

But during the Christmas break, a couple of my buddies came over and decided to give this game a try instead being good guests and let me play whatever I wanted to play. But despite my initial misgivings, we ended up playing it for I think 4 hours. We would have continued playing had it not for this stupid thing called the Sun which was threatening to shine and ruin a perfectly good evening.

After my buddies left, I found myself picking up the game whenever I hit a wall in whatever game I was trying to finish at the moment. I eventually noticed a couple of things about the game that could have been done better, but overall, it’s a worthy addition to my game library.

Beercast

This recording has been released for quite some time now but I held off from blogging about it because, well because I’m ashamed of it.

The facts are that San Miguel asked Jayvee to set up a podcast which they will gladly sponsor. So naturally Jayvee thought about enlisting the help of TMB for the so called podcast.

Since we were mostly drunk when we did the beercast, this recording is practically incoherent to anybody who wasn’t there. Which is probably why San Miguel hasn’t approached us to do another beercast.

Don’t ask me why I’m posting this. And why now. Because I don’t know.

Anyway, Mike blogged about what some of the highlights that happened that night. And Ade and Jayvee kindly shared the very unflattering pictures they took of us.

But if you still insist on hearing the podcast, here it is. But don’t say you haven’t been warned.

Oh and I almost forgot to thank Noemi and Lauren Dado for being such awesome hosts.

Avatar The Last AirWiinder: Burning Earth

The wife and I are huge fans of the show Avatar: The Last Airbender. I personally think it’s the most badass show we’re following right now, despite it being a kiddie show. It’s even more badass than so called “action/adventure” shows that never show much “action” (Yes, I’m looking at you Heroes.)

So can you imagine our excitement when we learned of the Avatar video game for the Wii? Well you can’t. Because our level of excitement can only be measured in ways humans haven’t discovered yet.

So anyway we popped the game in and was awesomed at being able to play our favorite characters. But that only lasted for a couple of hours. Eventually the wife grew tired of playing the game. And honestly so did it. Only a mechanical desire to see it through prompted me to finish the game even after it went from being entertaining to a tedious chore. I’ll discuss why in the following paragraphs. Because this paragraph’s already done its job. Also, the other paragraphs might get jealous if I used this paragraph to discuss everything. And this paragraph’s gone long enough. Like my penis. HUHLOLZ!
