" These controls are frustrating, actually. I also like how they never mentioned to tell there's a fucking block button until I failed a boss fight like two times and then they're like, "YO DAWG MAYB U SHULD TRY THAT BLOCK BUTTON DAWG." "

" I wish there was a simple "press up and shoot directly up" mechanic. I think it's dumb that it's like, "oh, shoot these meatslabs, but oh, you have to shoot them angled to hit them, good luck figuring out how to do that while this guy kills you over and over. "

Now that's discouraging knowing what's up ahead in terms of platforming and other random deaths (rockets anyone?). 

" It's a beat em up, of course it's repetitive, what did you expect? That's like complaining an FPS is repetitive because all you do is shoot people. "

" Surely it takes more time to grind for the late fees than to actually finish the game. "

Are we talking PS3 exclusives here? If so, then:  

1. Uncharted 2
2. Metal Gear Solid 4
3. Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time
4. Valkyria Chronicles
5. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

• Pixeljunk Shooter
• God of War III
• Killzone 2

Maybe it's because I'm fortunate enough to own all 3 consoles, but I don't get all this fanboy bullshit. They're all pretty damn sweet if ya ask me. 

I had an issue with the PSN card two weeks ago, where I got an error message reading "could not add funds to wallet at this time, please try again later" after I entered my code. My friend tried the same card on his account and got the same message. I e-mailed Sony Support, had to fax them the front and back of the card, then they activated it for me. Apparently, Best Buy may have gotten a poor batch of cards or something. Whatever, it works now, so try giving Sony a call.

Oh, wow...I didn't realize there was such a anti/pro-Cera War going on out there. I liked the kid in Arrested Development, Juno, and Superbad, but he was pretty terrible here in Scott Pilgrim. Maybe I would've felt differently if I haven't read the comics, but he just didn't fit the role. Mary Elizabeth Winstead, on the other hand, was perfect. as Ramona.
 
Overall, I'm not surprised the movie didn't do too well. It's very much a niche movie...and not particularly a great one at that. 

Yeah, I'm really diggin' all the in-game references as well (my favorite being its [spoiler] Mega Man 2 ending). For the most part, the homages aren't so much about simple name-dropping as they are alluding to the games with their own unique slant, and I think that's why it totally works for me. I also appreciate that they remembered they're making a game first and foremost, and didn't let issues of trying to stay absolutely loyal to the source material get in the way. In the end, it really does feel like the team created their own entity as opposed to just another game adaptation of a comicbook/movie. 
 
It'd be a fun idea if the GB community banded together to create a big ol' guide of homages for the game. It'd be great just to see how broad their scope really was, and to also point out all the little nuggets we missed out on during our own playthroughs.

" Thanks guys for all your help. My local Walmart was selling Final Fantasy 13 for $40 and Oblivion GOTY for $15 so I picked those up.  "
