  For real? Really? Like, seriously?

  Just a thought, but how did Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm ever come to be? It frightens me to think that in the real world, there are people who have no homes or food to eat, or can't afford tuition to continue on to post secondary schooling if they wanted to, but yet someone got paid to hold a meeting and make the decision that CRAB FISHING would make for a viable video game theme. Money and time had to have been dedicated to this project, and aside from the experience that the programmers got from the process, the money spent on Deadliest Catch may as well have been flushed down the toilet.

  It scares me to think that people will actually buy this steaming heap, not only because it will likely be one of the worst gaming experiences ever, but because a few sales will indicate to publishers that people are stupid enough to throw money at anything that they recognize from TV. The really funny thing about Deadliest Catch is that the same people that will buy this game will scoff at and insult anyone who would pick up a game like Cooking Mama, a game that is far from perfect, but one that understands the concepts of ORIGINALITY and CREATIVITY. I kinda miss the days of video games flying under the radar, the days where there were no Spike TV video game award shows (which are really just ads for new movies and a chance for "stars" to see themselves on TV), no celebrity voice-overs, no in-game ads (*shudder...*), and NO TV FRANCHISE BASED GAMES!

  Oh well, while some of us wait for the re-release of Earthbound, and translations of the other MOTHER games, I guess we can tide ourselves over with the promise of a high calibur gaming experience in the form of a Big Brother, Flavour of Love, or Celebrity Rehab game?...

  Defias Brotherhood No Longer!

  Wow! Another rank change is going to happen for me within a day or so! What wondrous rank will be bestowed upon me next? I wonder what the hell a "Defias Brotherhood" is, anyway?

  Wow, a new rank AND another DS Advance Wars title, and the drop of No More Heroes. This week might just be too much to take! I wonder if EB accepts popscicle sticks and bottle caps as a form of payment?
