Gaming Addict

First off I guess a quick mention that my Wii is now back with its rightful owner and my Wavebird has come in from eBay so now I can really get down to playing some Brawl. More impressions on my time with the 360 in another post which I get the feeling will come right after this one.

So the Wii is back, but I haven’t gone right to playing anything on it really. I may have played 30 minutes of Brawl in the last week simply because something else has been holding my attention. It’s a gaming gem from Square and Jupiter entitled The World Ends With You. It is by far the greatest and deepest action RPG I’ve ever played and it has an engaging story to boot. Since I don’t want this post to drag on and on because it would literally take me at least 10,000 words to fully describe WEWY considering all the different mechanics and battle styles within the game and I’d be here writing until tomorrow afternoon.

Fortunately for you there’s an easy way for you to absorb the game’s combat system at the official website by just clicking on “Gameplay”. That’s about as much time as I want to spend trying to explain the game and simply want to say that it’s a must have for any DS owner and it would be incredible if The World Ends With You were to become the next big franchise from Square Enix.

I had originally planned to go with a WEWY banner and color scheme but due to my lack of knowledge of using Gimp among other things such as editing themes in WordPress I decided to go with a built in theme that I found. I would’ve really preferred to have done my own things but this will do for now.

And just one last thing; Okami or Mario Kart? I’m only going to get one for the time being with the other coming later but I’m having a hard time choosing which one I should get. Help me out a little.

And so begins one of the traditions held between a neighbor and I. For what usually winds up being a week we’ve exchanged consoles. Meaning that he now has my Wii, and I have his Xbox 360. Fortunately I was able to get the 1 month free trial of Xbox Live with my own new account so for the short period of time that I have the Xbox I’ll be able to enjoy the best online console experience around.

I played through a lot of Portal previously but never got a chance to finish it so I’m starting a new game in that and then maybe later I’ll take a look at the rest of The Orange Box. There’s also Call of Duty 4 and Mass Effect which I can’t wait to get into, and unlike every other 360 owner and their dad I’m not all that excited about Halo 3. That one will probably get played near the end of the week after a lot of time with CoD 4 and Mass Effect.

So for now my XBL Gamertag is Kindrik1042. I honestly can’t believe that there is actually someone else out there that uses Kindrik. I think that now I’ve seen everything.

A tiny change to the site with the RSS subscription link now over to your right.
Real post later, too busy with Brawl, PES, and sobbing over the fact that Windows got corrupted and I lost everything I had on my laptop.
