Downhome

Yeah, I've got the reload thing totally down. It took a little while, but I finally got to the point where I can do it every time. By the end of the first chapter I had it. I'm also interested in Stranglehold, but I'm not sure I'm $60 interested.

Oh trust me, I'll be picking up Bioshock soon. It seems like a number of great games are all coming out at the same time. Not to mention that I finally, really, dived into Gears of War as well. I bought it when it first came out, loved it, but didn't stick with it and sold it. I saw it at a pawn shop for $20 the other day, picked it up again, and now I'm way into that one. It turns out I hadn't even finished the first chapter when I first owned it, and now I'm on the 4th.

Thank you so much for posting that. I had already changed the jump/shoot buttons, but after doing the other thing you mentioned I also now perfectly have the hang of the controls as well. I didn't think that I'd buy it yesterday, the first day of release, but I did. I went to a WalMart on my lunch break and noticed that they had one copy of the game in stock, and because of that I decided to buy it. If I had saw, say, five or ten of the games, or maybe even just two, I wouldn't have bought it today. Yes, it's weird, I know. I can't believe that I bought this before Bioshock. I'm just a huge Wii fan, and to be honest, I think I'd rather have a really good Wii game than a really good game on any other system. I just love Wii controls, and I'm not ashamed to say so. So far I've played though the first part or two, and I'm now at the part where: The controls are fantastic, so I can't wait to dive right into the game even more soon. I wasn't a huge fan of the two GC Metroid games, but the Wii controls will be enough to keep me playing to the end this time. I love the game, but like most my main complaint is the delay in some of the doors opening up. It can be anywhere from 5-10 seconds at times.

Don't worry, you're most certainly not alone. I'd love to be able to enjoy his work, and say that I think he produces quality work...but I can't do that, and after watching part of Halloween, I'm starting to think that I'll never be able to say that after all. It took a while for 1K Corpses to finally get picked up, a number of years for sure.

He's capable of so much better than this, that's the sad part about it all. I don't mind the gimmick, but the guy is obviously very uncomfortable in this gimmick.

Could Morrison's promos feel any more forced?

There is a workprint of this flick online already, a slightly different version than the one that will hit theaters. I've watched the first 20-30 minutes of it and it's complete and total rubbish so far. It's your typical "Rob Zombie" flick in every way up to the point that I've watched. I almost stopped watching it after the first five minutes, but I'm going to watch the entire thing, more than likely in the theater, just so I can have an honest opinion of the flick.

Heck, I didn't even know that there was so much hatred for Owen Wilson. I've been a fan of the guy since Bottle Rocket. From TMZ:

How in the hell did Boogey improve so much in such a short period of time? I'm not even just talking about his work in the ring either. Even things as simple as the way he moves around the ring, even how he just walks - it all seems so much more natural now, and it totally happened out of nowhere.

All of that just for a draw, when Regal could've just made it a triple-threat match earlier? Ugh.

I'm halfway still wishing that Colt Cabana could end up being Vince's "son". Yes, I know there's absolutely no chance of that happening since very few would know who he is, but still.

Yes. I looked at the clock at around 9:30 thinking it would be almost over even then. "She takes that microphone everywhere." I'm really loving the heel Santino.

Didn't he break JR's leg or arm? Then again, Kane burned JR alive but JR quickly forgave him for that.

How can anyone not love King Booker? Just how tall is JR anyway?

I love Booker T saying "The SummerSlam games."

"Come on JR, he kinda looks like Triple H a little bit...not physically..."

I wish Booker would show old footage of the "blueblood" version of HHH.

And there's the clam and lamb mentions...

Ok, we need an angle where Vince sides with Iran and he goes around wearing that every single week.

He should be. Snitsky's probably got some really bad breath. Plus the whole, you know, killing babies thing.

Don't you dare mention a possible Umaga/Snitsky match!

Horrible start to RAW. First that opening segment, and then following it up with an all diva tag match.

Ha, McMahon mentions THE UNDEFEATED SNITSKY...and no one gives a shit.

Carlito. Sid. Tazz and JR...this could be fun.

This week we'll get something like "Blind Date", complete with the bubbles with with words, on screen comments, that sort of thing.
