the new karate kid movie what a disgrace and thank god you didn't call me normal  XD

Oh come on that movie is fine. One of the greatest remakes ever made and in many ways better than the original. The original is more iconic and fit better with the times but this movie had the better story, acting, and fight sequences. You are backwards man.

Except for the fact that there is no Karate in the movie at all.

You know what, lets remake Rocky. About a guy in Philadelphia that dreams to become a ballet dancer.

I am at my next location, the middle of butt fuck nowhere. I was aboard a smaller plane and landed in a small landing strip, which had a building  and a parking lot. It was in the middle of the woods. I got my rental car and had to drive over an hour through NC. It was a small two lane road and all you see is trees, farms, random houses, no civilization. I saw 3 road kill possums, a chainsaw store, a Confederate flag, a shack with a sign that says "famous hot dogs" I doubt that, and 2 guys riding their giant ass lawnmowers.  It was the country and it was like an alien world to me. I wondered where do these people go to buy food? Where is the walgreens on all corners? Where is civilization? But I saw some people outside living their life, a totally different world than mine.

Eventually I reached an intersection which had gas stations, a walgreens and Mc Donalds. I wanted to hug a McDonalds employee, I was so happy to find it so thats where I ate.  Where I am at the hotel is more civilized, it reminds me of some places in northern florida. The room is nice and it has an excellent internet connection so that is a plus.

You talk about civilization, but yet you go to McDonalds?! Pff, barbarian!

And you call that middle of nowhere. Let me tell you about middle of nowhere son. Once I went to vacation to Bosnia. The plane we used was a Yakolev 42, yeah that's right a Yakolev. We landed on Banja Luka airport, a small airport it was. The bagage was picked up by a freaking tractor. The x-ray scanner was a bunch of guys opening the suitcases, but hey at least they had a fully autonomous lawn mower, a fucking cow. Yeah that's right a cow!

On but that is nothing compared to where my family in Serbia lives. It is in the mountains, you have to walk half an hour to reach the next house. There are roads you can take, but the weather has the habit of destroying them multiple time a year. And no autonomous lawn mowers there, not even normal lawnmovers. Grass is cut with a  scythe. So you see a bunch of grim reaper look-a-likes cutting the grass. You see son, you ain't see nothing yet.

I know Iga but I have to start simple first, this is nowhere to me right now, later I will graduate to more exotic places.

And come on Karate Kid is still about martial arts, its the same movie. Its nothing like Rocky being a ballet dancer its like Rocky being an MMA fighter instead.

Yeah, I figured as much, but I didn't want that to be a reason for you to NOT post pictures, IF you happened to be in them. Still, I'd love to see the places you are describing. Eh, if not now, maybe you can blog your travels when you get home!

I finished Bioshock 2 before the weekend. Excellent game. 8.5/10.

Picked up Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Bulletstorm for the 360 and Killzone 3 for PS3 yesterday. I'm totally loving all three games. MvsC3 is awesome fan service and looks and plays fantastically. Bulletstorm looks great, is pretty funny, and is a total rush. Killzone 3 which I've probably played the most so far has gorgeous graphics, really cool action, and I'm liking the story so far. Online multiplayer is loads of fun of course.

I played the Gemini Rue demo. It's too short to really know if the game's good, there aren't any real puzzles or challenges included, but it seems cool so far. It's like a new Beneath a Steel Sky or Gabriel Knight style adventure (especially if you disable the Broken Sword Director's Cut style portraits to make it even more old school), complete with low resolution pixel art. It's actually made with AGS, I didn't know it's used for commercial projects too (I love 6 Days a Sacrifice which is a freebie made with it). I'll buy it on a sale I guess.

So this weekend I pretty much split my time up between the same two games I played last week, Marvel v Capcom 3 and Dragon Quest 6. MvC3 I'm really happy with but returned (it was just a rental) today. It;s a good fast paced fighter that caters a bit more to the casual gamer who doesn't want to learn a bunch of long drawn out combos. Totally works for me. Plus it's fantastic fan service. The Marvel fanboy in mean only had a few minor quibbles about quotes and moves that the characters pulled off.

Dragon Quest 6 is another story. At this point in time I'm really to go ahead and say it.... I don't like this game. This may end up being the first DQ game that I don't finish. At this point I just don't see investing another 30+ hours in it. I know it's not entirely fair to say this, given the chronology of the games, but this just feels like a second rate DQ7 (which wasn't all that great either). Kind of kicking myself right now that I bought this instead of Phantom Trick.

Oh whoops... Started writing Phantom Detective and switched to Ghost Trick mid way. Oh well, it doesn't matter. No one is playing it anyway.

And yes I will buy MvC3 at some point. I may even rent it again if I can get a group of friends together to play, as I really did enjoy it. However, I made a pledge not to buy any full priced games for the PS3 and I will stick to it. Unlimited game rentals for $24 at Blockuster though provides a nice loop hole.

Oh and I forgot to mention I did rent Mario Sports Mix for the kids today. I can't vouch for the game's quality yet, but the two of them have been glued to it.
