... Super Mario Galaxy's release. So far I'm at like 15 stars into it and I have to say, it's incredible. Everything, from graphics to gameplay to the immense amount of fanservice with so much Mario 3 references. I've only seen like 5 or so worlds out of the 40+ that's in it. One thing to say is don't rush it. There's too much to savor to rush it. Now the galaxy levels work very well, but what shines is the normal levels. They added hard as nails straightforward platforming. Death lurking around every corner. The difficulty is not bed. It's (thankfully) not easy. I actually got a game over. I cannot wait to see whatelse spurs from the game. Also, the best thing happens when you hit all 120 stars. This is The way Mario needed since Mario 64.
When I'm home though, I'm playing the Simpson's game and it's great! What better story than "I know I'm in a video game, so I can have powers!" And I probably haven't played a game so funny since Conker's Bad Fur Day. Another game with a ton of fanservice. As a old fan(until they got really lame after Family Guy became popular), it's nice that this was basically the best episode in the past few years. The video game references are awesome. From GameStop to Mario to Missle Command to Medal of Honor to GTA to Space Invaders to Everquest to Jack Thompson to Rockstar to EA to Okami to Katamari to Madden to fighting Will Wright. Hate to say it, I like an EA game.
This while playing Disgaea(or getting my ass kicked in Disgaea), Phoenix Wright 3, Zack and Wiki, Orange Box and more.
In other news, I need help. I need a lead to a song, either for download or buying the soundtrack, I do not care. I bought The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Volume 4. Surprised that I was expecting an ending, instead I got an ending of a season. I'm excited that it's not over. They've done an outstanding job localizing this series. And they did something I never seen in a normal anime. A musical number was dubbed in English. Two actually. These were very well made. I want to find that song either on a CD or an mp3, not a rip from the anime but the actual songs. The songs are "God Knows" and "Lost my Music" I've had the Japanese versions for a long time, but now I want the English ones. A YouTube video had "Lost My Music" in its full form(it was faded halfway through in the episode), so they exist. I was hoping the single you get when you buy the Special Editions of them would have them, but it's all the Japanese versions. When I hunt a song, it pisses me off til I get it.
