2008 OLYMPICS

The worst game ever was colonization. I just hated it! I was just playing around and then I was like lets declare our independence and then Englnd came over with 14 boats killing everyone. Not to mention it wasn't fun, the graphics were terrible. Civilization is WAY better.

My friends are over tonight and we're watching scary movies. Of course we're also watching the Olypmpics. GO TEAM USA!!! I might write more but I'm going to watch the olympics. :D

Phrank: Wrightfully the worst!

So before I get to kindling the ashes of the game I dislike the most, I want to make something clear. I realize my posts/comments over the last few weeks have irritated some of you, and I'd just like to apologize. Most of what I've said was in jest or well-meant teasing. It's a shame I can't josh you kids around like I used to, but it's certainly not worth fighting over. Whatever happens, I'm glad we did this blog, it's nice to see what all of you post from week to week.

Alright, the game I hate the most....

Suikoden 3, hands down. I've never played a game that had so much potential and then terrifically bombed out after playing it for a couple of hours. The game sold itself on featuring 40+ characters/main people to interact with, a castle building section ,3 unique viewpoints for the game, and basically an all-around awesome J-rpg. It was an uncompromisingly difficult equipment/item system, an unforgiving dueling system, the storylines were confusingly intertwined and a lot of dead time to slog through.
I expect bad games to be bad, like the LotR games or the Eragon game, I knew they had little to offer in terms of content/gameplay. This game offered a lot in terms of potential and then collapsed on itself. I gave up trying to slog through it and have pretty much tried to forget it existed.

You know what I love about the blog? How it brings us closer together as a family.

Or not.

Anyways, the challenge! I think I'll go with Katamari. While I often play repetitive games, this one irritates even me. Toss the annoying music, and I'd rather gouge out my eyeballs with a spoon than play. And to imitate Bill- no explosions, no action! Also, no plot.

I have a webcam! I conned it out of my boyfriend. And by conned, I mean he was determined to get me something, so I went with the cheaper of the two options in front of us. Happy birthday to me!

More importantly (and belatedly):

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MOM & DAD!!!!

My wicked awsome post as I sit and fart

So the worst game ever would have to be Myst. Yes others loved it but nothing was really happing. Nothing exploded, no one died and it was way above my thinking when it came out and still is with a beer in my hand. Plus they made a whole bunch of sequels, so they just beat a dead boring horse. Wow, way to go on that one.

As a side not it is Mom and Dad 30th wedding anniversary. Good for them. I think that will bring me to five sentences. Greg's post got me in a sour mood, sorry that this post is so short.

My hated game is Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.

Surprise! I picked the game I worked on.
Since I worked on it I know the game from under the hood.
And when you know a game that well, there's no reason to play it.
--------------------------------

I've been burnt really bad... sunburn. On one hand, it makes for a horrible video post. On the other it made for an excellent sepia photo with Jess. So I'm not exactly in cheery mood as my skin peels from by body. But still... I'm calling Frank out:

Cut the "Holier than Thou" Crap before I shove a clam rake in your foot.
Enough already. It's not funny or cute.
--------------------------------

I'm late.
This post is backdated to show up on Monday.
Start the asinine process of selecting "punishment"... yea whatever.

Also... I'm sick and tired of the challenges.
So from this point on assume that I'm going to be against it.

Oh yea, a trifecta of hate this week from me.
