You know.... I remember the days when it took more than 4 beers and 4 games of Q*bert to get me buzzed. Oh well, guess I'm old. Now it's time for more Monster Hunter.

It takes very little for me to get buzzed these days as well.

At least that makes for a cheaper night.

This week I've been playing (since I won't have time to tell you tomorrow)

I gotta say, this game is worth every penny (oh wait a minute I got it for free from Foolz).  It's most likely a game I never would have paid for given my horrible experiences with Serious Sam 2 on the XB.  Back then it was a poor man's Doom.  These days, being a poor man's Doom is actually a good thing, as given what id did with Doom 3 they would have been better taking the low brow approach.

This is essentially Doom 2 in HD. It's brilliant.  It has all the run and gun, the resource management, the slow weapon reveals, the goofy monsters.  It's great.  I wish more companies would rip off the classics, as the classics were originally intended.  I guess like how Cities XL is better at doing SimCity than Maxis is these days.

Also been playing magic the gathering on Steam:

It's just like the table top card game, so I am addicted.  Really loving it.

I did not continue playing Retro City Rampage, where I am stuck on a platforming level, nor did I fire up my PS3 to play Sleeping Dogs.  I was really impressed by it, but just didn't want to go through the effort of turning on the PS3 etc... Nor did I play FF8 on Vita.  Just too tired, sleeping about 4-5 hours a day doesn;t make for much in-bed pre-sleep gaming.

My goals for the week are to finish Serious Sam 3 and restart The Walking Dead, and hopefully finish it by next Saturday.

IGN early review thing. Holy shit I don't think I've cared less about anything more in gaming ever.  Remember in the old days when EGM would come out with a review and it would say on the cover, "World First Review"?  BFD. IGN got an exclusive, kudos to them.

The outlets that are honoring the embargo are being precisely as collusionary as IGN.  If you want to be pure, blow the fucking embargo and print your review.

The pious bullshit in gaming editorial these days is getting out of hand.

I thought you were only interested in GOTY contenders, Vader.

No but I will only buy a $60 game if its going to be something I love.

Reading this post from the main page feed, I thought you said "I will only buy a $6 game..." and thought "well, that's about right for a Duck Tales remake".

New X-Com and Duck Tales announcements in the same week. This is game heaven.

I'm on baby watch right now, guys.  The baby isn't due till the fifth, but the wife is having contractions now. It's probably Braxton-Hicks, fake contractions. (I'm secretly hoping I at least have time to pick up Luigi's Mansion tomorrow )
