As I write this post, Megaman’s got a Jewel Satellite shield up and is sitting under two Telly spawn pipes at the end of the Plug Man stage in Megaman 9, harvesting bolts and extra lives. In the meantime, I’m doing something productive, like writing on my blog. This is how weekends should truly be spent — doing absolutely nothing of consequence! And to top it off, I have Monday off for Turkey Day, and expect to be gorging myself on pumpkin pie in short order.
But before I get to Turkey Day, I’ve got two free days that I desire nothing more than to be spent playing video games. It’s been a bit since I’ve talked about video games, so let’s catch you up on what I’ve done lately.
Borrowed Pickles’ copy of Wii Fit and played around with it for about two weeks, and while it was fun, I certainly couldn’t get myself into a routine playing it. I’m pretty fit as it stands, though, and the game told me I was pretty much at my ideal BMI, and while I know body mass index is a flawed metric, I could have told you that I’m perfect already.
I also recently beat No More Heroes, as mentioned in a previous post. The game is absolutely fantastic, and even the grind-ish parts where you have to make money don’t seem all that bad because of just how much fun it can be to run back and forth chopping people in half or killing seven or eight bad guys with one swing. The plot, on the other hand, is an absolutely ridiculous tangled web where plot developments and twists throughout the game follow a trend of starting at one, then doubling after the fourth stage, then again after the eighth stage, and then again every stage after this. By the time you hit the “real ending”, you’re not sure if anything that’s happened through the rest of the game was even planned out or not, or if there’s a coherent story flow. Spoilers after the break…
