What you are seeing here folks is the next generation of console-map

As a man who goes on Halo3 all day, making his own maps with crates and walls, I can now make maps with actual trees, houses, bridges, PCs, chairs, desktops, buildings, sniper towers, weather effects, sun location, rivers, mountains, and NPCs.

The result? This is, officially, my #1 most anticipated game of 2008. Period.

Today is the day on where the Xboxlive Arcade strives in variety and excellence. I have downloaded Braid yesterday and Bionic Commando today. My impressions on these babies is nothing but excellence. Braid is an intelligent performer that's full of time controlling craziness that can fuck up the minds of normal people, like me.

Braid will make you think. If you thought Valve's Portal made your mind implode, prepare for your brain to destroy your whole entire state once you play Braid. The game keeps changing as you go from level to level, making repetition get pushed down a cliff and get fucking ripped in half by alligators within that pit. Also, Braid throws a grenade down that pit, making repition fucking die in the bowls of Hell. Once repition dies and he goes to Hell, Satan-...

...Okay, I am done with insulting Mr. Repetition. I'll continue with my impressions.

So yeah, Braid's awesome. Buy it. If you played the demo and you think the game is boring, don't let those feelings trick you. Buy it. I had the same reaction by Braid's trial and I regret it.

Now then, Bionic Commando: Re-Armed.

It-fucking-rocks.

The one thing that you may love once you play the game is defiantly the soundtrack. While it's a remix of the NES classic's soundtrack, it's just rad. I always bobbed my head to the techno when I went up platforms and killed off bad guys. Another positive feature is the humor. When you hack into enemy networks or get information from your HQ, the comedy comes into play. I cannot spoil anything, but you will laugh.
The only problem I really see with the game is it's tight learning curve on the control mechanics. You will bang your head on the controller for a while until you actually get the hang of it. Once you do, it's a blast.

Best ten dollars you can actually get rid of at this current month. Buy the game. It's radical.

 Simply. Phenomenal.


Listen to "In the Arms of a Mother". That's 100% epic right there. This is complete originality in music gaming fonts, except that B-movie orchestra (*cough* Gears of War *cough*).

The game itself? I tried out the trial and I didn't really like it that much. The puzzles seem very innovative and the story takes Princess Saving to a whole new level. But the gameplay itself doesn't appease my taste. If you love Portal and you want it to be more challenging, I think you might like it.

Why do all male anime characters have no mustaches or beards? Do they ever hit or pass puberty?

Despite my camera giving out a blue tint around everything, my eyes really look like the only red spots on my face. I don't know if I have been rubbing them like crazy during sleep, but I defiantly think my coordination with my PC monitor and my TV are giving me the aches.

For the main point, I need to take a rest from the computer and the 360. Everything in my body seems to be healthy except for the eyes, and that's a very important part of the human body. I have been witnessing some odd visions of black dots on the walls and the outside world being pitch black, only to see it reappear in my eyes (even weirder was that it was through my window).

I just don't know what to do despite playing video games and searching the net. The outside world isn't as fun as it was anymore. If you don't have money, there is no reason to go out and do stuff. Heck, the only thing to do with that money is buy food from a restaurant. Seriously, there are TONS of restaurants in America and it makes me sick. There are other freaking reasons to make money!

Speaking of currency, I didn't get a part time job this Summer. I tried two times: One application to my nearest Grocery store, second to my nearest Gamespot. Both of them did not accept. I was going to try a third time by signing an application to another Gamespot that's a little further away from me, but since Summer is almost over, why do it? I might as well get my wait till the next year.

Saturday, my Mother is starting a BBQ party with some of her work friends at our house. That might be something to get me occupied from the computer and my 360. But since the party is in my house, I doubt it.

C'ya later my brothers. Going to listen to Martin O'Donnell's composition. Orchestra FTW!

Oh, and Geometry Wars2 rocks my socks. Maybe the game's colors are causing my eyes to hurt. Hmmm...
