Flunkie's Blog [June 1, 2008]: BaB Told Me To!

flunkie44 · 06-02-2008, 12:56 AM

Yeah, BaB told me to start one. I guess just because he loves me so much.

Anyways, here's what's been going on with me.

First off, I'm pretty excited. Tomorrow I have my final.. err.. final, and I'm free for the summer. I'm gonna be busy all summer with Legion baseball, which is very cool.

I've been gaming a lot lately. Currently I'm playing Haze, with uber_paddler, which has been a blast so far. I really do like the game, despite all the hate it's been getting. After you switch to the rebels, you get to use iron sights aiming.. BEST IRON SIGHTS EVER in a game. Why is this important? Well, I'm a sucker for iron sights aiming. Half the fun of Call of Duty 4 was the aiming for me. Most of my guns had iron sights.. none of that red dot bull****. I don't particularly have a reason why I like them so much, I just do. And that's that.

One of my friends had an urge to play Crackdown again the other day, so I booted it up and played coop for about an hour to and hour and a half. I remember why that's one of my favorite games of this generation so far. I like it even more than GTA IV. After you finish the game, there's actually things to do! Crackdown is the only game that I've gotten over 1000 GP in. I only have three achievements left for 1125.

Other than that, I've been playing Condemned 2, trying to get through that and finally beat it. I loved the first, and really like the second. The iron sights aiming with the weapons is great.

I also played Turok coop with Aladuf a couple hours ago. It was his first time playing, and my first time playing in over two months, so needless to say, we got our asses handed to us pretty quickly. Boom Blox is really fun, and I've been trying to play it when I get some time in. Besides LostWinds (which is another game that I've been playing this week for short 30 minute spurts), I think it's the greatest use of the Wiimote yet. Great fun. I also have to mention GTA IV, which I haven't played since I beat it two weeks after it came out. I'm just overall very disappointed in it, and I really wasn't that hyped for it to begin with.

And that is all for now. BaB can rest in peace.

I want to eventually play Condemned 2, but games like that, while enjoyable, tend to drag down my mood if I play them for too long. The environments depress me.

I think I'll play it when I can immediately switch to Mirror's Edge right after.

Aladuf · 06-02-2008, 01:05 AM

BaB's will never rest in peace.

Turok was intense, I didn't go into it expecting that. And Boom Blox is hella fun. I had to return it today but I hope to buy it sometime soon.

I see you are going for the BaBump. By using my name, you guarantee people will read and respond.

I think can help you out....

Man, you're a fart smeller.

I mean a smart feller.

American Legion (summer ball) started today with a doubleheader. Lost both games.

I pitched 6 full innings, but didn't get the loss.

flunkie made a funny.

I mean, flunkie made a funny...

oh wait, shit.

Edit: Are you kidding? You haven't been on here all day and apparently right when you come back I post at the exact same time... wth?

Edit 2: Nice start to the season, somebody needs to cut down on the video games if he can't hold off the other team from scoring runs. tsk tsk

flunkie44 · 06-03-2008, 02:11 PM

We all played like crap.

I only had one earned run.. I had no defense behind me.

Anyways, I just got these yesterday:

Awesome.

Aladuf · 06-03-2008, 02:12 PM

So do the things work well on the triggers? I've been kinda interested in them.

flunkie44 · 06-03-2008, 03:33 PM

Ehh they're alright. My first impression is that they're kind of annoying to use, but I can see my liking them once I get used to them.

flunkie44 · 06-05-2008, 01:27 PM

I have two more games tonight and tomorrow.

Edit: Also, I just got Brawl for $41 shipped off eBay. Woo hoo!

Edit 2: I just got Excite Truck for $29 shipped. Woo hoo hoo!

Aladuf · 06-05-2008, 02:49 PM

What a fucking wierd tag/title you have... "Earl"

It just seems wierd.

flunkie44 · 06-05-2008, 02:57 PM

That's the title that all 100+ posters get, I guess.

Nice, great prices. Hopefully shipping wasn't too much.

Aladuf · 06-05-2008, 03:00 PM

I'm glad that you got Brawl so we can all play now. I'm jealous of Excite Truck

I want to buy it still.
