First of all, Bob Mackey is hilarious on the RadioRadar podcast. I really enjoy him. As to his Ni No Kuni review. I really could care less about reviews especially concerning JRPGs. They are such a matter of personal taste: whether you like the battle system, the story or characters. Furthermore, I'm fine with just a few major JRPGs or any RPGs coming out within a caledar year. They are usually so darn long that I can only play a few of them a year anyway. And here is a druken response: "Screw platformers! They get me so frustrated I want to break a controler over Michel Ansel's head!"

In another episode I noticed a sign for a Penny Arcade. I think at one time the penny was the usual coin for these places but it must've been more than that even in the sixties. Definitely the quarter was the thing when video games came along.

I was just wondering the other day what Ruffian Games was doing after Crackdown 2. I hope this is it. There's no reason why Microsoft shouldn't keep this IP going and give Ruffian Games some scratch to "make it so" like they did to get Crackdown 2 done.

It's so much fun in co-op just blasting everything in sight and collecting all the different cars and bringing them back to headquarters.

Cool! Shadow of the Colossus!

Yea, I watched MI on Netflix streaming but a lot of episodes are on Youtube in full. That's very helpful so I don't have to make an ugly capture with my pocket camera.

Heard of it but never played it.

     As soon as I saw the pilot episode of Mission Impossible I thought, this would make an awesome game and I've been struggling to think of any modern game that comes close to what that could be. LA Noire comes to mind and now, thanks to you, Impossible Mission, but what else?

Not jobless, but not happy with it.

I got it day-one and still haven't played it! I attribute this mostly to the fact that my friend sold his PS3 and so, when I go over there, I always play Xbox 360 so we can play co-op games. It's also due to the fact that I haven't been able to play much during the week what with me agonizing over careers every damn day. Will it ever end? 

I got to two more recent games in my backlog, Pandora's Tower and Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon last week though. From there it's Etrian Odyssey IV, Fire Emblem Awakening and then finally, I get back to Ni No Kuni. 

I played the demo and thought it was very interesting. The third person view and movement is very similar to Gears of War. The weapons are unique and interesting but in the demo, they don't really tell you how to use them, so I kept getting killed by those mechs in the last area. You are supposed to work closely with your co-op buddies and I had a friend in there with me, but I just kept wondering how to increase the power of my attacks, and didn't work with him too closely. The graphics look pretty good and the controls are tight like you would expect from the makers of Resistance. This is not a day-one purchase for me, and I feel bad about that because I want to support Insomniac's first multiplatform title, but it made me feel like a noob and for that it goes on the waiting list.

I'm gonna read a guide next time for sure. Ain't no shame in that at this point.
