I’m a little ashamed to admit to even owning this game, to tell you the truth. And I’m sure it’s the last one people expected me to ever, ever talk about. Well some time ago I decided I could maybe get in shape the geeky way (since I can never seem to work out without some sort of structure), Wii Sports wasn’t really doing it for me and I’m waiting to see critics weigh in on the effectiveness of Wii Fit before investing in such a thing, so naturally I decided a DDR game that makes you move your hands with the Wiimote and Nunchuck as well as hobble around on your awkward, rhythmless feet would offer an optimal full-body workout.
Let me start by clarifying that I’ve only done the Workout Mode (as thats what I bought it for.) My brother, however, decided he wanted to try it too and then refused to give both it and my Wii back for the night. But at least he unlocked some more songs and venues for me. I not only decided to get the Wii version, as opposed to the 360 version, for the hand movements but the track list as well. This one features songs like 99 Red Balloons, You Spin Me Round, Karma Chameleon and Blue Monday, techno remixed of course and mostly covers, but hey, at least its not bubblegum pop. I understand DDR fanatics hate the track list but if I’m going to fail at DDR I might as well fail to songs I like.

I’m just making a short post to inform you all of something I’ve been enjoying immensely as of late. A funny British man known only as "Yahtzee" has rocketed to internets super-stardom within the video game community with his irreverent reviews, thrashing games in a hilarious and witty manner even if he enjoys them.
I was introduced to these brilliant little videos by a bitter and crusty PC gamer I know who was mocking my love of Assassin’s Creed and Mass Effect and myself overall for being a stupid, console-loving plebian. So if you want to enjoy some video game reviews that are far, far, far funnier and more foul-mouthed than mine, click here.
Speaking of video game reviews perhaps I should do some more. Or write about something else for a change.

So much can happen so quickly on the internet in just the span of three days. I’ve been following such a whirlwind regarding Kevin McCullough, a conservative blogger and apparently an obscure radio and/or podcast personality who seems to know jack-all about jack half the time and mistakingly extended his school-yard taunting thinly disguised as journalistic blogging to the world of video games.
McCullough posited that the video game Mass Effect (which I have completed, by the way, and am considering doing final impressions on) was some sort of sex simulation game where you could design characters specifically to "hump" in, and I quote, "the most realistic sex acts ever conceived". He even goes on to claim Mass Effect contains rape and sodomy. Oh lawdy. Read the rest of this entry »
