Overdue Update

It has been entirely too long since I've posted anything here. However, I just finished my last class before spring break, so now I can officially relax. It feels good.

So what is new in the world? The site is finally fully functional. No longer do you need to type in the "www" when trying to get to the site. That pretty much made my day, as sad as that may be. Also, due to class, I missed Lost tonight. It will be on abc.com by tomorrow though, so for now, I shall play an epic match of the waiting game. I hope I win.

So a lot has happened in gaming news. First, at the time of writing this, Super Smash Bros Brawl has a Metacritic score of 96. I've been teeter-tottering on getting the game, but it seems pretty solid, so I'll pick it up. I know a lot of people would probably want me dead for even debating whether the game is worthy of purchase, but in my defense, the game looks quite a bit like Melee. I realize it's a sequel, but I played the hell out of Melee. I played it to the point where I got sick of the game. That feeling is what's keeping me from being super enthused on picking it up. I'm sure it will be epic though.

In completely epic news, Jeff Gerstmann and Ryan Davis announced that they have started a new site today, called Giant Bomb (dot com). At the moment, it's pretty much a blog, however Jeff Gerstmann went on X-Play and talked about how, by summer, it's going to be a fully functional game review site. I'm insanely excited about this news. Jeff Gerstmann, Ryan Davis, Greg Kasavin, and Alex Navarro were all four my favorite personalities from Gamespot. Greg left to develop games, Jeff was fired, and Alex and Ryan left due to Jeff's firing. It was a pretty sad year for what was once my favorite site. However, hearing that a new site is coming with half of my favorite team from Gamespot is incredibly exciting. It hasn't been confirmed, but it seems strongly hinted at that Alex Navarro will be in some way, shape, or form, part of the site as well. It's pretty awesome.

In non-gaming news, I got a copy of the "Return of the Dark Knight" Batman comic, written by Frank Miller. I've heard that it's supposed to be great, and what I've read so far does not disappoint. I've read about a fourth of the entire comic, and it is interesting the way plot moves and is transitioned through Bruce Wayne's thoughts and memories. It's hard to explain, but it is a very unique way of telling a story, and it's a testament to Frank Miller's story telling abilities. Being inside Batman's head as he takes down a mob of murderers is awesome.

So that's all for tonight. It'd been entirely too long since I had updated. But spring break is here, and more shall come.
