I think it is an amazing game (the music is among the best) This game is a brilliant metaphor for humanity with surprisingly relevant messages about resource, industry, development, and progress.

When it came down to brass tacks, I had to go with Blow for game of the year I sincerely enjoyed every minute of and am mostly likely to go back and play again.

Pretty much anything is more fun to read about when the person writing about it uses the maximum number of syllables. :Dchade fallstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17600485457997218039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7344068351653946740.post-83714052558258530522008-12-26T21:46:00.000-08:002008-12-26T21:46:00.000-08:00@frakkin toaster: Sorry to hear that the bloom is ...@frakkin toaster: Sorry to hear that the bloom is off the Wii. in its defense Boom Blox is significantly more fun than getting hit with a bagel tho. I'll hit you up next time I'm in town (It's looking like early feb, maybe? Like, the worst possible time to be in Boston, but if you get your hands on one of those X boxes we will play fun games together, on the internet.)<BR/><BR/>Also: blashphemy!<BR/><BR/>@ben F: thanks man! Thanks for stopping by, you have a great thing going over there on the cutscene, what with that witty sonuvabitch Tom Chick. <BR/><BR/>@ben A: I'm going to plead ignorance on Audiosurf. Evidence that I'm not up on the PC scene: I installed steam, like, three days ago. Everyday Shooter is one of my all-time favorite games tho, it came out in 2007 or else it woulda taken some wards. <BR/><BR/>@daniel: I don't have a Wii, which is another reason I have no right giving out any accolades. If I ever cave in and get one (that No More Heroes is a GRAVE temptation) I'll put it on my list.Iroquois Pliskinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14324582950813408440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7344068351653946740.post-76916640330174064182008-12-26T21:01:00.000-08:002008-12-26T21:01:00.000-08:00Also, I thought Newton invented physics...Also, I thought Newton invented physics...Brian O'Blivionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04132415773450239595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7344068351653946740.post-86751921090046690632008-12-26T20:34:00.000-08:002008-12-26T20:34:00.000-08:00Speaking of synaesthesia, did you play de Blob, Ir...Speaking of synaesthesia, did you play de Blob, Iroquois?

And you're out there playing videogames all the time? I enjoy your blog, despite not having played any of the games you discuss, having spent my console budget this year on the Nintendo Wii, which due to its crappy game selection and inability to handle games like GTAIV, is considerably less fun than getting thwacked in the face with a bagel. I'm trying to work out a trade for a PS3 or Xbox so I can get down to some real gaming. I'll let you know what I end up with. <BR/>--Frakkin Toaster, MD<BR/>p.s.
