  Video games, steak, more money, and more women

  More awesome, super manly blog titles! First off, I'd like to apolagize and say Mass Effect 2 was the true number 5, and GoW3 should be kicked off the list. I am, of course, speaking of my recent "Most Hyped Games of 2010" list. Anyway, I'm sick. I have a cough and thus was dismissed from school. My body is aching, my nose is stuffed up and I can hardly breathe through it, I have to have a cough fit every 3 minutes, but it's a great day so far. I've been playing Super Mario Bros. 3, Earthbound, Conker's Bad Fur Day, and A Link to the Past, as well as watching all Season 3 of South Park, as opposed to being in school. Speaking of which, is it Thursday or Friday? I totally forgot.

  Aside from super killer retro games and my sickness, I'd like to announce that I discovered something truly amazing. I've discovered how velcro works! Yes, the mythical fuzzy stuff that sticks, but isn't really sticky. For millenia, this ancient wonder of stickiness has baffled the human mind, but my friends, I know how it works. Observe:
  
  One end of the velcro is a series of tiny hooks, which are prickly to the touch. The other end is a bunch of fuzzy hairs. Now what happens is this: When you press the two together, the hairs latch on to the hooks, and the hooks firmly grasp the hairs. Thus, a reliable sticky solution for anything that need be stuck. I nowawait my Nobel Prize for a breackthrough discovery.

  It's 5:14 PM right now, and it's pitch black outside, and according the weather, freezing. Chicago: Gotta' love it. Jeez, the least we could get is snow.Well, that would be really bad now that I think about it, since I'm sick, and I wouldn't be able to go outside. Well screw that, had it snowed today, and school was closed, I would have frollicked outside anyway. Actually, I don't live in the city of Chicago, I live 30 minutes away in a suburb part of the Chicago area.

  That's all. Thanks for reading, please comment, and PM me if you want to know a great guy on YouTube who does Nintendo centric Let's Plays. No annoying accents or anything, unless slight southern accents bother you. I out.

  Guns, explosions, women, and money

  I thought that title might appeal to you. Speaking of guns, explosions, women, and money, GTA4 is awesome. Now, on to LISTS.... Don't you love other people's lists? They only represent their opinion and not your own, and therefore are worthless. But whatever, here is my TOP 5 MOST HYPED GAMES OF 2010:
  
  5: Metroid: Other M

  4: Super Mario Galaxy 2

  3: God of War III

  2: Halo: Reach

  1: Final Fantasy 13

  Yes, FF13 is my most hyped game. It WILL be awesome. Mark my words...

  Halloween!

  I hate it.

  Why?
  
  Because of trick-or-treaters, namely little kids who demand you give them candy without thanking you, or obnoxious teenagers who also demand candy or they'll egg your house. So I'm just not answering the door.

  But I hope you have fun.

  ...Just don't stop at my house.

  South Park: Let's Go Tower Defense Play!

  

  I thought I should try and get this game out there. It's a really fun tower defense/action/co-op game. I'm on Hells Pass Hospital level right now, it's a lot of fun. Basically it's like any tower defense game, but a lot more fast paced and you have more direct control of your playfield. You can choose from any number of South Park characters to play as, like Cartman, Kenny, Timmy, Wendy, etc. You directly control these characters and you serve as a mobil tower yourself. You can throw snowballs at oncoming waves of evil beings, and charge your snowball to make a yellow snowball, which does extra damage. If you do enough damage to evil beings, you can use a special ability (each character has a unique one) that can help you in a time of desperation.

  You must also plant different types of towers and walls to impede the beings' progress. There are cannons, cherry bomb launchers, missile launchers, and standard walls, as well as many others. You can upgrade these towers by simply going up to them and pressing X, then selecting upgrade, as long as you have enough coins, which you collect from destroyed beings.

  

  The story is extremely simple: South Park is being invaded by deadly beings, ranging from old people to gingers to little garden gnomes,and you must stop them before they destroy South Park. There is some great new voicework for the game, and it can be downright hilarious sometimes, as you'd expect from South Park (like when the chinese City Wok owner starts ranting on about his City Wall, only he says city like... ya know...). Unfortunately, there isn't any original animation, but the story is told through little comic panels, which is plausible. There are quite a few levels in the campaign to play, as well as 3 difficulties. You can go back to these levels to increase your score and get higher trophies. As you go on, you collect videos, pictures, and biographies from the South Park show and about the game. For even more replay value, there is a challenge mode where things get ridiculously hard and you have to survive as long as you can.

  The best part of the game is 4 player co-op. It's hella fun with friends, but if you don't have any, you can always just join other people's games from around the world. It's definately best played co-op, so get a few friends to come along fro the ride too!

  What can I say about Let's Go Tower Defense Play? For just $10, you can't go wrong with such a sizeable and fun package. Ladies and gentlemen, the first really good South Park game is here, and it's on the Xbox Live Arcade for just 800 points. Get spending.

  That's all folks. Thanks for reading.

  I have been tagged....

  Hooray for stupid internet traditions.Interesting facts, hm...

  1. I'm 13. Fear my pre-adolscence and gangster wannabe jokes!

  2. I'm only 5'. Pretty sad.

  3. I have an incredibly high metabolism.

  4. I had heart surgery at 9 months of age to patch a miniscule hole in my heart that was leaking blood.

  5. My favorite bands are Metallica, Iron Maiden, DragonForce (yeah, I liked them before Guitar Hero 3...), The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Immediate Music/Globus, Two Steps From Hell, Slayer, and Blind Guardian, as well as some classical.

  6. I'm a huge fan of Lord of the Rings and Star Wars.

  7. I like to RP with my friends in Halo 3. (pretty sad, I know)

  8. I'm a decent artist.

  9. I love to read, and not the crappy 13 year old kind of books. My favorites are Catcher in the Rye, 1984 (currently reading), Harry Potter (I read the second one in first grade! ), Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, and Lord of the Rings.

  10. Twilight is a disgrace to vampires as WWE is to real wrastling.

  Super Bonus 11!: There was a South Park reference in #10 (I love South Park, my favorite TV show)

  Now because I'm so rebellious, I'm not tagging anyone. Why? I found the cure to the infection. But I can't tell you what it is, but it doesn't matter, because I'm cured for ever.
