Weird Noises and Fart Sounds

Can't we just be friends?

Well I can’t really call this a rant, and before people get up in arms about which I feel is better, I’ll disappoint you all RIGHT now.

They are BOTH great games.

Right…Are the fanboys gone? …oh good they have lost interest.

So, rarely I pick up and play a game just because someone told me I was retarded for not having played it. So I grabbed a copy of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and stole my girlfriends DS. (Yes, it is hers. Shut up.)

The game is basically a graphic novel that you get to control - generally you play as the rookie lawyer Phoenix Wright, and solve crimes and such and so forth.

And it is stupidly fun.

I mean seriously, how you question people is just fun, with the clever and witty writing of the characters, and visually watching witnesses start to sweat on the stand as you pick apart their testimony is amazingly satisfying - but I am not going to lie, there are a few frustrating parts. I not going to spoil anything, but at a particular part you are actually REQUIRED TO FAIL to continue with the court case. So I exhausted every avenue, presented all evidence, questioned every goddamn thing the lying bastard said and got NOTHING, and all I needed was to GIVE UP before the game progressed. And I had to discover that in a playguide. I feel dirty.

But I just can’t stop playing.

I’ll have to be honest here, I had not shown alot of interest in Fallout 3 until I had seen some of the junk members of the modding community had done - and to be even honest-er* I showed even less interest when I found that buying a copy for PC in my dingy little corner of the world was about as difficult as dipping your balls in honey and avoiding bees in spring.

Not that I have ever done that, mind.

But after finding an exceptionally rare copy of the game at my local EB, (which is inhabited by some very magical and friendly folk, who make hundreds of dollars vanish from my credit card ever other week - and I am okay with that) I umm’ed and ahhh’ed and eventually decided it was time to see what all the fuss was about.

I must be some kind of super idiot for not picking it up sooner. Within an hour of starting the game, I had drank from a very unsanitary, and colourful…toilet.

Radioactive Toilet....DETECTED.

Who would have thought “Activating” a toilet would make me crouch and take a hearty and audible SLURP. And here I was, stupidly trying to empty my bladder.

After killing a legion of Mad Maxx style punk rock cannibal men in a local supermarket, dressed in police riot gear and a Jason Voorhees hockey mask, I found myself slurping away at every toilet and sink I could find, and throwing the ever growing surplus of grenades I found hidden in every drawer and metal box at local wildlife.

I even found myself flinging open other toilet stall doors, hoping to find a golden toilet to drink from that may bestow me some kind of greater super power - but no such luck.

Kicking the doors in, Action hero style.

It was right about this point that I realised I was thoroughly enjoying myself - and it had also dawned on me that the game had barely started. There was still a wealth of content ready for me to unravel and NOM upon like some kind of boiled sweet that small children are usually forbidden from enjoying before bed. I was getting very excited, considering I had just finished getting severe radiation poison for a nice lady I met in a shanty town, when I headed off towards my next adventure to dance in a mine field for the same nice lady that asked me to poison myself.

When suddenly, while enjoying the incredible landscape - the game froze.

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t mad though. I had just saved after a rather big trip, so nothing was lost - and it gave me the time I needed to take that long overdue toilet break I was meaning to enjoy several hours BEFORE I had decided to install the game.

Plus, it was nice enough to freeze at a particular pretty scene, so it wasn’t too infuriating.

Well the finale has come and gone, and I can safely say I was not disappointed.

Now, I will be honest - I sat down to watch the final episode of Season 8 with a great resentment towards the episode, getting ready to be unfulfilled and generally disappointed.

Instead I was moved, deeply. I had a huge grin on my face for most of it, and was almost shedding MANLY TEARS at the end.

Everything they did was executed perfectly, Now I am not going to go into detail because I hate spoilers as much as the next guy - but if you want to know what I am talking about, and don’t want to wait for it - click the top image for the last few minutes of the show.

The characters, the symbolic ending, and the music were done beautifully - and the level of fan service (which I don’t use as a derogatory term) was top notch. They tried to make sure everyone who has ever enjoyed scrubs, even for a minute, was catered for. I could not fault it.

Bravo Bill Lawrence. And nice cameo, you magnificent bastard.

See after the jump for more scrubs moments.

Blogging on the internets. Seems that every crazy kid and his dog has an amazing story to tell. Well, I don’t - but I am more than happy to clog the tubes with whatever pops into my head that I feel free to ramble about.

I mean I am a 20-something internet addict, might as well contribute something.

A blog about life, amusing this-and-thats, and video games. I may even have the occasional ranting bitch session. Sounds fun, eh?

Lets kick this pig into high gear.
