My enthusiasm for Star Wars definitely wanned after Phantom Menace and was quickly picked up by Halo. Although, I did get a Gamecube in 2001 so I could play Star Wars Rogue Squadron II. I'm still a Star Wars fan. I read a lot of SW comics after that. It's just, I've never been that interested in the novels, for whatever reason. I'm a fan of Star Wars for the visuals mainly, I guess.
I still haven't seen Saving Private Ryan or There's Something About Mary. I have heard so much about those movies over the years and seen tons of parodies of them. Saving Private Ryan was a pretty big influence on games. Medal of Honor tried to replicate that opening beach landing. I caught humerous references to the movie in the 2000 game Hogs of War. I think there was a whole level devoted to a joke about it.
Cool! I want to roam on some moons.
I made the Dragon's Lair comparison, but Dragon's Lair was actually more exciting because you had to make many quick decisions one after the other to complete the story or you get a death animation. You can't really fail in Tales from the Borderlands. I died once but it threw me back into the game right away to do the event again.
They mix it up a bit. It's kind of neat but there's a lot of just watching. Those dialog events sneak up on you though. Gotta keep alert the whole 2 hours of an episode.
Ha! That would be a funny band. Mark could definitely be a crazy drummer. Matt'd be the front man and I'd be the good looking bass player all the girls want. Ha!
Yea, Rogue was hard. Turok was ok. I played it because it was an FPS like Doom, Quake and Duke Nukem. Not quite as good though. Oh yeah, didn't see the Turok/Horizon connection 'till just now. Neat.
Oh no, ME gets a 75%. No bonuses and since it didn't get a 90% or more, cancelled sequels. I'm sort of kidding, but I'm afraid now, very afraid.
I must be constipated because I have four blogs still in draft right now. Gotta get a Pixlscription for that (Pixldump. Lol and nasal snort).
SKYLANDERS! Yes, I want to hear more about your crazy obsession, because it's mine too! I'm looking forward to the Blaster-Tron figure for Imaginators but it's not coming until May.
Mark and I joke about Jet-Vac in the TV show so much now, that now every time an achievement sound pops up, we say it's Jet-Vac dropping another egg. It's getting kind of out of hand.
OMG! That's great. I want boobs too. Oh, wait. Maybe not that way.
Mako make an appearance yet?
