Kong a Day #4 - Y'all are Psyching Me Out!

I should already be asleep, but I made this ridiculous commitment, and I'm going to do my best to keep it! I watched some videos today to re-learn some techniques to increase my score. I'll link to them another time, but my attempts to put those ProTipz to use totally messed me up. I played a bunch of games, and most of them were total disasters. Then when I blew all of that off and just tried to advance in my normal way, I didn't do too well either. It was partly my fault, but I also got a lot of unlucky barrels and flames. Pretty much, it was a disaster all around. Well, except I used the good camera to take the picture of my terrible scores and the photo turned out better.

I also chipped away a little at Halo: Spartan Assault and another Halo product. Both items should have a review up on the site soon. See you guys tomorrow when I will inevitably do even worse!

How do you psych someone in, I wonder.

Not sure, but you guys need to do it for me.

Watch that Training Day clip and repeat "Donkey" instead of "King" from that one famous quote before playing?

I've never seen Training Day and don't know the context, but seems like it might work, I guess.

Maybe you should eat some Donkey Kong cereal? Remember that stuff? It was basically Cap'n Crunch.

02/05/2014 at 07:28 AM

I know I ate some, but I don't remember it at all. Actually, maybe I never ate it. We were kept away from the Cap'n and the like for the most part.

Well you're not missing much. Cap'n Crunch really isn't that good of a cereal. But it's cool that the Cap'n character was created by Jay Ward (Rocky & Bullwinkle).

Cap'n Crunch not a good cereal?! The Cap'n is the best! Swords are drawn.

I'm interested to read your thoughs on Spartan Assault. I'm currently playing it on the 360.

Same here. Send me a friend request at Wise Acre Lodge and maybe we can play some co-op... Hopefully my review will be up early next week. I have been muy busy with work and not sleeping. Need to rectify that tonight if possible.

02/06/2014 at 12:52 PM

Will do.

I have stuck up my nose at that... that... game. It asked me to wait and wait. And now I just can't be bothered. I turn my back. Perhaps a sale will enable me to give it another chance.

It was $4.99 for me for some reason when I bought it through the Xbox itself. It still said $15.00 online. Something was mentioned about qualifying for that price, but I didn't investigate further. Review spoiler: $15 would be too much for this.

Oh $15 is too much for this game. I do enjoy it, but for what you're getting, it's not worth that price...and I got suckered into buying it.

If it had made it to the 360 in December like I thought it was, I would've been suckered too.

Better luck next time mate. Looking forward to your Halo write ups when I get the time to read them.
