pick it up; totally worth it November 14, 2009

just finished reading two amazing books. first off, part six in the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy: and another thing…. it was written by eoin colfer, the dude who wrote artemis fowl, and he did a stellar job at keeping up the comedy.

 

also sat down and finished the graveyard book by neil gaiman in a day as well. it’s about a boy named nobody who lives in a graveyard, raised by various ghosts and goes on numerous adventures. gaiman totally works his magic craft with it, making it both a childrens book and an adult novel, with awesome art from dave mckean.

gaiman at his best

last but not least, i finally finished up borderlands for the xbox 360, by 2k games and gearbox. a really strong and funny fps mixed with role-playing elements. to do everything it only took about 20 to 25 hours and it was totally worth it. a great amount of fun, like a fallout and diablo mix.

enjoyed it thoroughly

 

so many good games October 28, 2009

i’ve been playing the shit out of games recently. it’s a lovely feeling. just beat brutal legend, only have a few more sub missions to do and it’s done 100% for the single player campaign. i also picked up borderlands and tekken 6. both of the games are ice cream sweet and i’m digging them. borderlands is such a dark horse this gaming season, make sure to check it out, it’s like fallout 3 meets diablo meets awesome. and i love tekken. it’s my favorite fighting series so i’m totally into the game…but the last boss is one hell of a bitch. all on xbox 360, bitches.

beat it
