Basically, what I'm trying to say is that this game is massive. If you ever happen to have lost your life and have hundreds of free hours and an Xbox 360 or PC handy, BUY THIS GAME. If you have a life, I advise you to STAY AWAY. Because it will consume you, digest you, spew you out its rear end, and move on to some other helpless victim.
Oblivion, however, was not the reason I started writing this post. No, this was supposed to be an update on what is currently pissing me off. So I will begin now.
The movie industry seems to have it right. Films are always released to the theatres on Friday, or sometimes Saturday. They know that that's when people have the time to go see a movie. They understand this, and it allows them to make bucket loads of money on their opening weekend.
For some strange reason, though, the videogame industry hasn't quite caught on to this concept. They seem to think that buy releasing their games in the middle of the week, people will have time to play them. This pisses me off.
No, Mr. Miyamoto, TUESDAY IS NOT A GOOD DAY FOR ME TO PLAY ZELDA. I HAVE SCHOOL AND/OR WORK ON TUESDAY. TUESDAY IS NOT GOING TO WORK. Seriously, have you ever noticed that games NEVER come out on weekends? You don't believe me? Okay, I will list off a FEW of the upcoming offenders.
-Bioshock, Tuesday, Aug. 21
-Metroid Prime 3, Monday, Aug. 27
-Halo 3, Tuesday, Sept. 25
-Batallion Wars 2, Monday, Oct. 29
-Super Mario Galaxy, Monday, Nov. 12
-Assassin's Creed, Tuesday, Nov. 13
-Super Smash Bros Brawl, Monday, Dec. 3
These are not games I specifically picked because they all come out on Monday and Tuesday. I thought of each one randomly (they all look like they're gonna be awesome) and checked a calendar to match up their release dates. I don't understand it. There must be some reason for it! Why would they all come out at the beginning of the week, just so we have to wait around until Friday or Saturday just to get in a few hours of playing time? I think they're taunting us. They know we can't do anything about it, so they release them on TUESDAY and watch us squirm for the rest of the week. The love it. They get a kick out of it. Those bastards.

Deleted. For future reference, if the length of you comment ever rivals that of my actual blog post, it will be deleted. Like just now. Also, learn to use a god damn paragraph break. And Stop have conversations with yourself; it's creepy.
hmm...I wonder if the queen will read this post too...
Btw, THIS IS HOW WE FIX THINGS IN RUSSIA!
I am going to send my Xbox to the magical land of Microsoftopia, and there it shall be over hauled, and new shit added to it to make it le uber. Unless the new one breaks down, then I'd get a game of my choice, so fingers kinda crossed that I can get Halo 3 for free! In other news, Cole is a asshole.
Naw, I'm jking Cole. But really, you're harsh. I don't think your Internet stalkers on YouTube would like to know you're mean.
IN SOVIET RUSSIA, WE FIX YOU!!!
Yes. Fix you. VITH A CROW BAR!
After completely reading that long-ass comment for a second time, I have some to realize that it doesn't even answer any questions. It's just a long and gay rant about...well, nothing. It doesn't address the matter and basically rambles on incoherently, bringing up moronic topics at random. As such, it has now been deleted for a second time.
Screw you guys, I'm going hyyome >>
In Russia, ZIS IS HOW VEE FIX ANNOYING GIRRLZ WHO COMMENT TOO MUCH!!! VITH A PIPE WRENCH!!

Is it your online stalker making incredibly long messages that depict suicide if you don't phone her Cole? Maybe you should hire ninjas. And give them ducktape. Those two things can fix anything.
I found a funny poster and it has the ninja ways, like, "When eating the still beating heart of your enemy, eat it all. There are starving ninjas in Africa."
a) I did use paragraph breaks! Five of them in fact.
b) I never had a conversation with myself.
c)It's not gay. It's not a rant. It does address the matter. It doesn't ramble. It isn't incoherent. It does not bring up moronic topics at random.
d)There is no such thing as a Russian astronaut.
Alright, this is for Fish, who obviously hasn't had the opportunity to read it yet. Perhaps "third time lucky"?
Ok, the first time you put it in, the "Hi, I'm Pissed Off" thingy was teh funny. The second time it's lost most, if not all, of its amusement, entertainment, and shock value. And the novelty has worn off too.
Seriously, I expect better from you.
However, the thing about video game release dates is pretty interesting. Perhaps they're on weekdays precisely because movies (both in theatres and on DVD/VHS) are usually released on Friday or Saturday; maybe the Head Honchos in charge of release dates for video game companies decided that video games wouldn't be able to successfully compete with movies for your valuable weekend time. Their reasoning would probably be along the lines of the following: When people go to the movies, they are often accompanied by a spouse, potential mate, offspring, parental unit, other family member, friend, or any combination of the above. Not only is going to the movies a social endeavour, it's a good opportunity for bonding, also known as Quality Time, not to mention an enjoyable way to take that special someone on a date. In regards to the former, the kids have fun, the parents get rid of their guilt for being at work all week (and for going golfing on the weekend) - everybody wins. In regards to the latter; well, the most basic date format is dinner and a movie - there are opportunities to talk, eat, enjoy some audio-visual entertainment, and even hold hands (or, depending on how advanced your relationship is, other body parts). It's practically ideal.
Now, I’m not saying that video games are inherently antisocial; in fact quite the opposite may be true. However, in our society, playing video games with your kids or significant other often does not award you as many Quality Time/bonding Brownie Points as going to the movies (or even renting) would. Notice that the companies’ decisions would not be based on the actual merits of each activity in terms of a meaningful way to spend time with those you love, like, or otherwise enjoy the company of; they are only out there to make money, and so they base their decisions on which option is likely to generate the most profits. That is, only society’s perception of what is acceptable is of importance to them, because society’s perception of what is acceptable is going to, for the most part, be a major factor in determining Joe Schmoe’s weekend plans.
And that is all I have to say on the matter.

Stop playing around vith crow bars and pipe wrenches - pah! Thees are mere toys for thee leetle boys and girls. In Russia, vehn ve fix you, eet ees permanent; ve drop you into ze South Pacific Ocean, from a height of von hundred kilometres.
Eet makes a beeg splash.
... Cole, DELETE THE MONSTROSITY OF A POST BY HER!!!!! And how can you think it's intresting about the games and movies? You prolly can't even tell the difference between a Gameboy and a Etch-A-Sketch, like that guy in that movie that I heard a clip from in the Naruto fanflashes on YouTube. I think weird should make another song called 'You can find it on YouTube'. You see Alice this is what it's like reading your rambles about things that don't really intrest people who don't go outside unless it is nessesscaryysrjehgihijigd. Anyhoo, I'm holding a Bill Gates beating party to teach him not manufacture shitty hardware in the 360s, so that the 1:10 people who have to buy a 360, send it back, and send it back again, can rest easy.
Ninjas always ride shotgun. If you don't get the shotgun seat, remind the person sitting in it you have sharp objects.
Fish - I'm sure he's still asleep.
Also, you said this:
You see Alice this is what it's like reading your rambles about things that don't really intrest [sic] people who don't go outside unless it is nessesscaryysrjehgihijigd [sic]
which, despite many grammatical and spelling errors, and generally not making much sense, I presume means something along the lines of "to all gamers, who usually are agoraphobic*, the content of your comment is terminally boring, and additionally, of no interest".
Now, I have to wonder whether you place Cole in this category, because obviously he finds it sufficiently interesting and non-boring to write a whole blog post about.
Furthermore, I am quite confident that I could correctly identify both a GameBoy (how sexist can you get) and an Etch-A-Sketch, even if I had never seen either of them previously (which is not the case, as I personally own an Etch-A-Sketch, and I went to elementary school, so obviously I've seen, and yes, even *gasp* played a GameBoy), because each of them conveniently has either "GameBoy" or "Etch-A-Sketch", respectively, printed right on them. So it really wouldn't be much of a challenge, unless you were illiterate, which I am obviously not, seeing as I am writing a reply to a comment of yours that I read.
*for any and all persons lacking the ability to detect humour and/or sarcasm, I realize that's not exactly what Fish said, and nothing near what he meant. It's called hyperbole, people.
ps: if any makes a remark ever again about my not using paragraph breaks, I will never use any ever again.
I think that should be ample motivation.
O_o What the fuck? That's it. I'm getting my ninja gear. It's time for assassinations!!!!!! And a hyper ball is when you build up your chakra, Force powers, etc. into a ball shape and you fire it. Leik a LAZOR!!!!!!!! iMA DRAWIN A LAZOR!!! I wish I had a scanner. Then i could post my art up for the world to see.
The CPU in battlefront is bad. They don't know how to climb slopes, lol. Or aim. Or target anyone that is NOT a CPU. Seriously, ever had 4 things that can kill you in one hit come rush you in a confined space?
\'.\ <--slope
. is enemy CPU
'is meh
Wow, these guys have nothing better to do. I was on EBGames, and this was under the new World of Warcraft Expansion:
"Official price and release date have NOT been announced by Blizzard. In this case, the price and release date were determined by the GameStop e-commerce staff, (comprised of overpowered warlocks), using a combination of 6 and 20-sided die.
Important: If the price decreases between the time you place your order and the release date, you will receive the lower price. Woot! If the price increases you will be given the option to either pay the higher price or cancel your order. However, if the price increases by more than $1,000, many of us here at the corporate office plan to retire and purchase a small Caribbean island. You are welcome to visit us at any time. Please bring pizza, chocolate and cold beverages.
Note: We vehemently oppose “ninja looting” therefore your credit card will NOT be charged until your order is processed for shipping. Pre-order now. Power to the players."
ROFLCOPTERS to just about every comment here. If I could only love this blog for one reason, it would be the hilarious comments. But I love it for many more reasons, such as the fact that it is written by moi.
Which makes it better than you in every way imaginable. MUAH HA HA HA!
Wow, those EB Games employees certainly do have a lot of time on there hands. That would be an awesome job; writing kickass descriptions for video games.
Thou shalt be smitten by the vengeful hand of God for thine blatant disregard of paragraph breaks.
comments are supposed to be about the goddamed blog post.
brook, stop flirting with alice through coles comments page.
alice, stop trying to understand the internet.
