    Dear Shank

    Dear Shank

    I don't really mean what I said in the title it's just we have been dating for 3 hours now and I feel that it's over. We had some good times in that three hours but you kept saying the same thing over and over again and I have to move on and see other people instead of the same four or five guys you gave me. Yes, I think you are beautiful, it's not about that at all! It's not about looks! You want to know why? an example of why I am not happy with you? I nearly fell asleep when you told me about your past and I think in a relationship you should engage me with epic story telling.... and to be honest I don't mean to be cheap but for me to take you out on a $14.99 dinner on the first date and for you to not be around in the morning really hurt me inside. I wanted to introduce you to my friend who lives in another state and maybe after a few drinks the three of us could of had a good time but since you don't know how to use the internet you will never meet my friend but I'm sure you will somehow learn enough of the internet to sell me something down the road I am sure of it and then maybe then we can revisit our date and try and work something out. I did enjoy all the different costumes you wore and all the family members I had to fight but to be honest it felt like I was fighting children who were telling me their weakness. Don't bother sending me an angry response Shank with excuses about you being independent and that is why you can't help yourself we both know when I was dating Castle Crashers and we were just friends that she offered everything you did but she was exciting, never boring and yes she was a bit of a ho and let me and three other friends player her and she cost far less. I guess I shoulda put a ring on it. I waited a year to be with you and I can't believe how disappointed I am not angry with you just disappointed so lets take a break.... let's see other people and maybe if you come back a year from now a little bit more mature I'll give you another go. You can't get everything right the first time so please for me work on those things and maybe we can have a future together.

    With love Eight Bit Shik

      A Beatiful Excercise in Frustration and Monotony 0

      Shank has received a lot of praise for its uniquely stunning art-style which definitely amounts to what is a beautiful game. Despite aesthetic beauty and some well matched music, the game is an exercise in frustration and intense button mashing. It is a standard brawler with an amazing disguise that attempts to mask the fact that the game quickly gets stale and repetitive.It’s obvious that Klei Entertainment has a large and talented art/animation division because of the beautiful work they have ...

      Why I shut Shank off and Deleted it! 0

          As much as I really liked Shank to begin with.  The longer I played the game the more I felt like this 5-7 level game was being needless extended for the myth of a game has to be "this long."  Rather than coming to a natural end.  I loved the graphically style, the voice acting, and the whole Tarintino-effect that the game was going for.       But this effect can only take you so far before things like character skins and gameplay begin to get in your way.  Basically, what we get is by 2/3 o...
