So many thoughts, not enough brain power to write a proper article. Being hungover would do that, but I'm still awake enough to put all my opinions together into one neat package. And..... GO!


XB Del-Ay

The only Xbox LIVE Arcade titles I care about right now are Bionic Commando Rearmed, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie. Where the hell are they? It seems like Street Fighter and Bionic Commando are getting perpetually delayed. Even right now I'm reading articles in which Bionic Commando has been delayed again and that Street Fighter's Beta has been extended 'till September. Why does it just happen to be the games I care about?

Every week some random garbage comes out, and just when I thought I was gonna get "SOULCALIBUR", I find out the game's single player content has been dropped! I'm gonna have to buy Battlefield: Bad Company or something if I don't get some new achievements soon. I'm so close to 8000G, but there's nothing I want to really play right now.


Tonight's Lotto Balls Are:

5456 0840 0675.

Not really. That's actually one of my friend codes, but who can tell? A friend of mine cringes at the thought of entering Friend Codes and said the Lotto line to me on Windows Live Messenger. I thought it was a very funny comment, but unfortunately it's all true.

Reggie continuously states that Nintendo are doing something about it, but they've been saying that for ages, similar to the Wii's internal storage issues.


WiiWhere?

Since WiiWare has started up, Nintendo's online releases have actually gotten worse. What would have been Virtual Console titles releasing weekly have been replaced by single releases of crappy versions of games that we've all seen on XBLA, except they cost more and have less features, and that's basically all we get every two weeks.

I heard on a podcast that a WiiWare specific media summit of some sort was coming soon, so maybe we will get all the awesome information and announcements we all want. Just like E3, right?


Curse You, Vista!

I was all set to record a video for this blog on Thursday, but NO. Denied, by Vista. I had my entire template set up, including the intro, outro, skits and general rundown of how everything was going down, and as I prepared to record on my Vista laptop, I find that Windows Movie Maker's webcam recording feature has been removed in the Vista version. What the hell?

I did intend to use Sony Vegas at first, but it's just too damn complicated. I don't have a choice now, so I guess it's back to the drawing board for my video content.

It was gonna be really cool, I swear!


Giant Beta

I've jumped aboard the Giant Bomb ship and I'm enjoying uploading what I have to give. The community was a total mess when it started, but since the GameSpot haters have cooled down, profanity lovers have gotten their fix and pornography posters have fixed themselves, the community has turned into a calm, peaceful place where we can say evil forbidden ear-shattering words like "style" and "class". Where one can write up something and not be told that "No valid tags were found" and where our HTML IS well formed.

From this point on there can only be improvements, so it will be interesting to see how Giant Bomb evolves over time. The only thing that's really irritating me is an error that's preventing me from viewing my pending submissions. That, and the fact that some of my submissions are taking up to four days to process.
