'Sup my GB peeps! It's been a month or two since I have done a update so here we go!
 

Games

Like in my last update, I haven't played many games lately. Bowling, work and school have taken up all my time, in fact I'm holding off studying for my Econ test to write this up. But I have tried to get some gaming in there and here's what all I have done. I downloaded Burnout Paradise on PSN, the one that comes with the Party Pack, which I have yet to play. I was a bit nostalgic of that game, can you be nostalgic on a two year old game? Anyway, I played it when I had my 360, but sold it along with my 360. So I decided to drop the 30 bucks for it, and I'm still impressed with that game. It's a racing game that I like, and I am not really a fan of that genre. Not that it isn't a great one, some of the best looking games I have seen have been racing, like GRID, or DiRT. I'm just not too great at them, I tend to run into walls and hardly make it very far before I say, "whatever! fuck this shit!" and turn off my PS3 and bitch about the game for a half hour. The soundtrack is one of the best as well, I know that's a weird thing to praise for a game but hell it has some hot tracks. Crashes look better then ever and cars look nice. The thing I like about the game best is that Paradise City feels alive if that makes any sense. With the other cars, and the announcer (who I like damnit!) the city feels alive, if not alive at least has a great atmosphere. I've played about four hours of it, and only about an hour is spent on events. I've drove and drove around in that game, I'm trying to get all the bill boards and gates. I'm definitely looking forward to spending more time with that game. I also traded the shitty game Far Cry 2 for Resistance: Fall of Man. OK before I get bitched at for saying "shitty game Far Cry 2" let me go off track and explain. It's not a terrible game, it's a fantastic looking game and has descent gameplay. But enemies are kind of dumb, the game only has one quick travel system (which still doesn't take you everywhere), and the driving is off. OK now that I explained myself back to Resistance. Wow, I'm very impressed with this game. I'll admit when I had a 360 I was a fanboy. I always said that new games for the PS3 were shit and I didn't care about them. I have since grown up and learned that that's not true, which was the case with LittleBigPlanet as well. I fell in love with Insomniac when I played some of the Ratchet and Clank games, and in fact Tools of Destruction is probably my favorite game on the PS3. I'm only about a couple of hours into the game, but I'm liking the shooting right now. I'm sticking to the machine gun more then the alien gun, but both work and feel fine. The story of Nathan Hale and how they present it is really cool and something I want to follow. They play it off a lot like District 9 did with the character Wikus van de Merwe, in fact they both are kind of similar. Both are infected but don't know it, and both get significant boosts in abilities. Anyway, I'm really liking the game, I'm not a fan of the whole "monsters are coming to take over the world" premise in games, like Resident Evil, but this has pulled me in.  For the most part, that's all I have played. I've gotten some Dragon Age: Origins in, but not too much.
 

iPod

I've been trying to save up for an iTouch for what seems like forever now. This weekend my sister sold hers to me, so now I finally got one!! And now my chance to finally listen to the Bombcast has come again. I sold my iPod Classic to my friend in I believe July, so it's been like seven months since I have had the chance to listen to it. I did today, and boy did I miss it. Randomly laughing fully knowing that people are probably thinking mine crazy, which I don't care if they think I'm weird. I probably won't try to catch up on all that stuff, but I'm definitely going to start listening to it every week. Also I'm probably going to listen to David Ellis' podcast 4 Guys, 1UP. I've always been a fan of his, but I've kind of stopped going to 1UP ever since EGM stopped production. If anyone has listened to it, let me know how it is :) 
 
 
 
Thanks for reading, and let me know about any cool apps or game for my iTouch.
