Also, Scribblenauts is awesome. I'd recommend it to any gamer, casual or hardcore.

eh

Hey-o, Bloggers. I got a DSi. Woo.

Also got the starter kit. Came with protective screens, extra styluses, carrying case, ear buds, car adapter, and game card cases. I'd say it 'twas a fairly good investment. Don't wanna scratch up the touch screen, especially since I didn't pay the extra 20 bucks for 2 year warranty..

Annnd I picked up a 2 GB SD card at Wireless Toyz and tried out the DSi store.

I linked the DS to my Club Nintendo account, downloaded Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again, Bird and Beans, the Internet Browser, Flipnote Studios, and the Facebook app for the camera. It was all free of charge. Woo.

I probably wouldn't have payed for that stuff anyway, though.. <.<

Games I've Been Playing:

"Drawn to Life" - Despite the game coming out like 2 years ago, I only just got it.. mainly because 1) it was only 10 bucks (used), and 2) it's from the same developers who are working on "Scribblenauts"-- 5th Cell.

In the game, you play as the creator of the world. You create stuff by drawing doodles in a book. But one day the book is stolen, so you have to make a hero to get it back.

From an artist's perspective, I must say the game is pretty impressive.
But from a gamer's perspective.. a little on the kiddy side.

They have a really cool concept, it's just.. the gameplay isn't there. And you get the feeling that it's skewed for a younger age group. You can do some cool stuff, though. I drew my cartoon character "Piggy" as my hero.

It's probably worth trying out. Nice little rental for a rainy day.

"Peggle Dual Shot" - You probably have heard of Peggle before, it's been around since loike 2007, but it just came to DS early this year. It's from Popcap, makers of "Bejeweled". It's kind of like a cross between pachinko and pinball. Here's teh basic idea: You launch a silver ball into a maze of pegs, and try to hit the orange ones. The concept is simple, and a lot of the game is based on luck, but it's really addicting. Finishing off levels feels very rewarding; when you hit the last orange peg "Ode to Joy" starts playing.

"Team Fortress 2" - I'm not even a big FPS fan, and love 'dis game. peoplez at valve is genius! 'Nuff said.

Games I'm Highly Anticipating:

"Metroid Prime Trilogy" - Comes out tomorrow. I didn't reserve a copy, though. Probably will get it but not opening day.

"Scribblenauts" - Preordered this like a month ago. Looks amazing.

"Mario and Luigi Partner's in Time" - Veddy nice. I clicked "intend to buy" on my club nintendo account. :o

I cleaned out my closet yesterday...

I was cleaning out my closet yesterday and I found a lot of old junk. It's so old, that it's almost like brand new. For some reason, I felt the need to share it with you guys. (and I took pictures. :D Isn't this blog just riveting?)

A VHS of an episode from the old legend of Zelda cartoon. Excuuuse me, princess!

Two bags of skittles (empty) :(

Ahh, the GBA.. So many memories...

Link action figure. :O

Hip flask

Ol' Spider-Man comic

Chase truck. Made of foam. It's like a stress reliever thingy...

My old CD player..

Old picture of Piggy. From 2003, I believe.

My movie ticket collection! You probably can’t tell what they are from the blurry photograph, so I’ll list them: star wars 3, the nativity, dark knight, iron man, the hulk, eragon, wolverine, pirates of the carribean 2 and 3, the incredibles (my oldest one, I think), star trek, superman, Indiana jones 4, king kong, spider-man 3, and terminator salvation. And then there are two that are too faded to read.

A yu-gi-oh card...

<.< >.>

…I admit it. I was a fan once.

Broken glasses

Mario action figure. I think they were selling these at McDonalds or something.

Broken Yoshi wind-up toy.

Ice kirby. Awesome.

That's pretty much it.
If you made it through this ridiculously boring blog post, you should treat yourself to a cookie. :P

Summer Movies

Yoikes. It's been too long, hasn't it? <.< Well, I'm not dead. I'm here with another bloggity blog. A special bloggity blog, actually!! Today I has a triple-movie-review-featurette for you, my two or three readers!! Let's start with X-Men Origins Wolveriene:

It was okay. A little corny, but it tied everything up nicely. I liked it better then X3 (which isn't saying a lot) but it definitely wasn't as good as X1 or 2. It had a completely different feel to it. Kinda goofy but you could tell the movie was trying to take itself seriously.

I didn't like how {spoilers} his girlfriend just pretended to die and came back at the end. It just added pointless drama to the story. Why does Wolverine still hate his brother after he found out that he didn't actually kill her? Ugh.. The whole thing was completely pointless. {end spoilers} And the special effects were lacking, as well. It was fun, though. Some pretty cool action scenes.

All in all, I give it 2 out of 5 stars.

Star Trek was amazing. Had a different feel to it then the old Trek movies, but it still maintained some of the elements. There were a lot of small references to the show. It was kinda weird how {spoilers} it was set in like, an alternate reality. But it works, because now it doesn't interfere with the Original series's storyline. The hardcore trekkies are still happy. {end spoilers} Abrams really walked a fine line between tribute and complete reinvention. I applaud him for it.

All in all I'd give this movie 5 outta 5 starz.

Finally we have Terminator.

This movie was okay. Kiiiind of a disapointment. Not as good as the first or second, but I'd say it beats the third. I liked the first Terminator the best because it had a good story and it was kind of a horror. Salvation is all action. Good action, but still..

I'd give this movie a er uh.. 3 outta 5 stars. A respectable score.

Quick Lil' Rant on Blu Ray

Blu Ray:

• It's expensive
• It's not half as big of a jump as DVD was from VHS
• It's on PS3. >=\
• It's higher def. Big deal. What are we? Eye doctors?
• It's just an excuse to resell all teh old vids again

It is a rich man's privilege and I refuse to support it!!
