A Lizard of Unusual Size

I GOT THE JOB AT GAMESTOP! I know a lot of people say it sucks to work there, but I'm really happy. I have a nice manager (as far as I can tell), and I'm going to try really hard to provide better customer service than a lot of Gamestop employees I've heard about. Ooh, I can't wait for my first day. :D Anyway -


Check out what I found at Lee Lee's yesterday! I don't know, maybe you guys see them everywhere or something, but I had never seen one in person before. So, I bought one! Unfortunately I took a bite and lost my appetite for the rest of the day. Clearly Snake's taste for this grapefruit-margarine-almond-potato-milk-egg powder crap was swayed from eating raw animals.


Probably most of you have seen this already, but here's the best trailer for the SH1 reimagining I've seen:



I think it looks CREEPY AS HELL and I can't wait to play it. Apparently the SH fandom is ripping itself to shreds because half hates it to death and half is interested. I personally think all the crazy differences make it more interesting.

I have all the achievements for RE5 now, except for the War Hero one but uh, no :/

So! I just played Silent Hill: Homecoming after renting it for a few days. It's the first Silent Hill game I've played since I'm a huge pussy, but I finished it, so I'm very proud of myself. Well . . . finished it kind of. I couldn't beat the final boss because I went in ill-prepared D: Five rifle bullets and the knife was all I had on me, because I wasn't thinking this was the LAST boss. So I pumped all the final dudes full of ammo then went in all AW CRAP. I tried three times, but fighting it with a knife is so terribly boring :( so I watched the ending we would have gotten on youtube and called it a day. (this was after playing it for nine hours straight. gave me some weird dreams, I tell you.)

I'm really happy I've finally played a SH game, since I've read so goddamn much about them that I could probably write a novel without having played any of them (besides watching an LP of 0rigins). I liked Homecoming, though! Besides the sewers, they were terrible. I haven't heard many fan reviews besides on SA, but they all seemed pretty positive. I really grew attached to Alex throughout, even with his weird monkey faces.

Rented the new Prince of Persia, as well. It sucks. Pretty graphics, nice new tricks, but the snark makes me want to shove barbed wire in my skull. I hate the prince AND his stupid bitch that clings onto him like a whore even though she quite clearly has the same jumping-climbing skills that the prince does. Also I don't think it's right that a brand new game should still be able to pull the whole artificial-lengthening deal, making me go through a level once to get to the boss, then again to collect all the shiny things. Boring.
