Suicide is man's way of telling God, "You can't fire me, I quit!"

"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character,
give him power." - Abraham Lincoln

  It finally happened. After laughing at everyone else get the RROD, it finally came back and bit me in the ass while at the shore this weekend.

  In Heavy Rain...the possibilities are endless.

  At long last, Heavy Rain has returned in the form of a new trailer at Leipzig GC '08. Alas, once again the new demo does not have any relation to the actual game, but now that they have shown the gameplay, I am more excited than ever.

  The demo depicts a woman named Madison riding her motorcycle into an unnamed town. She pulls into a standard suburban neighborhood, arriving at the dingy house of a taxadermist who has become a prime suspect in the case of the origami killer. Madison is an investigative journalist who has taken it upon herself to find evidence on whether or not this man is the killer or not. Madison makes her way into the house through the kitchen window, which was left ajar. She looks throughout the house, in which you can interact with almost everything. Making her way upstairs, what else does Madison find but...the corpse of a woman in the bathtub, and two woman in another room who have apparently been stuffed...by a taxidermist! Just then, the taxidermist decides to arrive at home. Here's where things get interesting for me. In the demo, Madison is discovered by the taxidermist, which results in a QTE of Madison trying to escape the house with the taxidermist hot on her heels with a knife. BUT, that is only one possible scenario of what could happen. According to David Cage, writer and director behind Heavy Rain, there are many different ways in which that scene can turn out. Madison can escape the house without alerting the taxidermist, or she can hide from him in around 30 hiding places. She can also be killed, and the story will still go on. In Heavy Rain, says Cage, there are no game overs. Sounds intriguing...

  If only they would release that demo on PSN!

  I'm so far in debt! (...though not in real life!)

  Fable II Pub Games was released a few days ago, and I must admit, it is addicting. I much prefer it to the frustrating turd Braid (no offense to those who rotted their brains completing that piece of crap.) I just wish I'd known beforehand just how easy it is to get so far into debt.

  It's simple, clever, and enjoyable. Too bad there's no multiplayer. Nonetheless, it gets me even more excited for Fable II's release. Speaking of which, I don't even know when that is!

  Aside from that, Nemesis has been giving me a hell of a time in RE3. STOP STALKING ME ALREADY!!! I started reading The Call of Cthulhu just in time for Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth to ship from GameFly. H.P. Lovecraft is a genius. Reading his stories really makes me regret selling Eternal Darkness however long ago. My favorites so far include The Rats in the Walls (those who played Eternal Darkness know will love this story, as one level was based on it), Pickman's Model, and In The Vault (which actually had me nervous to go to sleep).
