[Grubb's] Random Thoughts of the Day

[Original Sin]

Mr. Sin how is the band coming along? Do you perhaps need a drummer? I'd like to have a band I can jam with.

I'm actually in a different band these days, black/death metal. We currently have a drummer though. I'll let you know if I get something different going though.

Merk is the first person that comes to mind when I think of black metal.

So I just blew $300 on an Xbox, a hard drive, and Super Street Fighter 4.

It's nice being a baller and all but I'm not going to lie I'm not entirely comfortable spending that much money so I can play one video game.

And hell Chad doesn't even play the game. It's just me and Riot pretty much

Pooper, there are plenty of good games. Borderlands, Mass Effect 1/2, Bayonetta, FF13, Modern Warfare 2, Gears of War 1/2, Assassin's Creed 2, Orange Box, Fallout 3, Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution, Bioshock 1/2, Megaman 9/10, Fable 2, Tales of Vesperia, Lost Odyssey (OH YEAH MERK NOW YOU CAN PLAY MY LOST ODYSSEY!), and lots of good arcade games like Symphony of the Night, Shadow Complex, Geometry Wars, Puzzle Quest, Braid, etc.

Anyways do the trials and training mode with Dudley, go to Shoryuken Dudley boards and read some stuff/watch some videos, and we'll street fight tonight. I'm sure Chad will get the game soon when he's done with his little walk-a-thon.

We can lend games to each other and have a JO party.

[Merk]

I do not know what JO abbreviates I guess I'm e-uncultured

[Riot]

I don't either, it must be a hipster thing.

There are a lot of good games on the 360, as much as it kind of pains me to admit it. I've never really been a microsoft fan.

In the same vein as Modern Warfare 2, CoD World at War is is also good, especially if you're more inclined towards WW2 than the modern setting. Multiplayer is the same basic set up, and team games are pretty fun, since they often include tanks.

Of course, you've got Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, if you don't already have them through Steam.

AvP has pretty awesome multiplayer, and the game modes are interesting. It's a cool change of pace from normal shooter multiplayer. The single player campaign is sort of lack-luster, but decent, if on the short side.

Resident Evil 5 was pretty cool. Not the best, but worth a play if you're a fan of the series, namely 4. Unfortunately it cuts out a lot of the exploration elements, and pretty much all of the puzzle elements of it's predecessors, but the action is fun. Also, playing Mercenaries mode multiplayer (which you can also do split screen, kind of a rarity for Xbox games) is fun. I mostly play the game for that to be perfectly honest.

IL-2 Stumovik: Birds of Prey is rather fun if you're interested in flight games, namely of the world war 2 variety. It's far more realistic compared to other console flight games.

[Merk]

Just so you all know this is pretty much what it's like whenever me and Riot hang out.

I registered for Mountain Dew without her seeing and then someone got it and she was probably expecting some dumb ass plate or cup, so she was disappointingly surprised.
