Awesome. The war of attrition sound of those boss battles is actually a complaint I've had with 2D Metroid bosses I've had for a while now, nice to see at least Deus Ex dvelopers are updating things a bit.
Well, you got a lot farther than I did probably, in any case. lol I might have a better time of it now.
Thanks for the bday wish!
Not being a JRPG gamer, I could never get into FFX when I rented it, but those cutscenes sure were gorgeous; can't wait to see what the HD updates of those look like.
For $2, that doesn't sound bad, and I do think infinite runner works for Sonic; I know what you mean about those water sections, I always hate being slowed down in a Sonic game. I still prefer 2 and 3 to CD quite a bit and feel the controls improved after 1, but I know where you're coming from. I loved Colors on NDS as well.
Never heard of that one, but I was definitely a fan of what Activision and Neversoft did with Tony Hawk's and... I kinda hope Neversoft changed their logo for that Disney game. lol Sounds like a fun game, though.
Thanks for the birthday wishes!
Oh wow, you've got lots of ska in your bloodline then. lol Thanks!
Yeah, I think they mean the Pokemon card game, I'd actually argue at least collecting those cards was more popular than playing the RPG when I was little. I also collected and sometimes played with Yu Gi Oh cards, and have always heard about Magic, but never really got into the genre.
I do remember playing a card game/RPG hybrid on Gamecube once, but I can't remember its name. I think it involved summoning creatures from the cards.
Edit: Looks like a safe bet it was called Lost Kingdoms.
Oh man, you reminded me I need to pick up Ghost Trick! Meant to do that quite some time ago, I'm hoping it's not rare enough to warrant extravagant prices on Amazon by now!
And I definitely remember the Ecto Coolers with Slimer, my older brother had some of the toys from that cartoon; I watched it, but not all that often. I've always known about Ghostbusters because I always heard and loved the theme song when I was little, but I didn't watch the movie all the way through until last year. Never seen the sequel.
Speaking of Pokemon, does Gengar count as a ghost Pokemon? If so, he might be my favorite.
Interesting idea for a blog, enjoyed reading!
That sounds like an awesome game! I immediately thought "female James Bond" or at least Charlie's Angels when I saw the artwork, and Austin Powers style humor sounds awesome as well; never saw that Avengers TV show, though. In fact, I'm not sure I know who Emma Peel is. 
Women really did have a shit time in the 60s; my professor in college always said how much she HATED working at TV stations, cause back then women just were not respected in that, and many other industries, but I guess radio treated her better.
Great songs too. I don't know why I always get such a kick out of seeing some of these musicians on stationary bikes. lol Never realized how physically active Deep Purple was I guess. Last metal guy I remember seeing on one of those was Bruce Dickenson, which makes sense, he played football after all, and I wouldn't be surprised if he needs his health up to fly that plane.
The Distillers sound a bit like Hole. In fact, if she didn't look completely different than Courtney Love, and it wasn't recorded in 2004, I might wonder. lol Actually, now she sounds more like Kurt and Nirvana. Oh well, not bad influences to have.
Thanks!
