Jeebus Chris i'm bored at the moment. Completed Mass Effect, completed The Simpsons. Tried to get further in Flatout: Ultimate Carnage but couldn't as the difficulty is set to stupidly-fucking-impossible as default and you can't change it.
Started playing Brunswick Pro Bowling on the Wii last night which is the biggest pile of shitty shit ever made. Clearly they've never heard of Motion Capture as your guy walks like a retarted headless chicken needing a poo. The ball spins whenever it decides to, it rolls down the alley at about 8 mph and strikes the pins with all the force of a marshmallow hitting a concrete bunker. Annoyingly Wii Sports Bowling is about 10 times better than this spasticated crap.
Why the fuck can't they do an actual decent game for the Wii, i've lost interest in Mario Galaxy coz, like every other bloody Mario game since 64 the difficulty creeps up until it gets impossibly hard and frustrating as you get thrown back to the beginning of the level when you die, which you will, a lot!
Come to think of it, i haven't actually completed one single game for the Wii since i bought it a year ago. That's pretty poor that not one game has held my interest long enough to warrant completion!
Looks like i'm gonna be spending the next week updating and categorising my porn collection...
Now does 'Adventures of a Midget Pimp Daddy' go under Midgets or 70's?

Manly Me
I'm so manly, i installed a washing machine last night. My first ever. And the damn thing worked too so i did the old standing back with my arms folded watching it go round.
Aaaanyway, am still playing Mass Effect and it's reeely gurd. Don't think i've ever played an rpg where i actually give a shit about the characters and don't press x to skip all the dialogue. And the shooting's great as well. None of that turn-based 1D6 bollocks, you shoot someone, their energy drops. You get a head shot, they die, simple as that.
Hopefully this might actually be the first rpg i'll ever play that i might complete. Hell i didn't even complete Twilight Princess on the Wii and that was great (even the shaking of the nunchuck to attack, back then it was actually original).
If you're looking for something during the xmas period to bring you back into that comfortable gaming bubble you all know and love, then mass effect will certainly provide that.
I'd go so far to say it's better (yes, that's better) than Oblivion. At least it's not goblins, dragons and imps which have definitely been done to fucking death.

Get me a knife and fork and a dictionary
Coz i am, quite literally, about to eat my words.
Getting so damn bored with games at the moment. Not even Call of Duty 4 is impressing me. Haven't played Kane & Lynch for about a week, fell asleep playing Assassin's Creed, UT3 is suffering from the same bugs that used to annoy me about PC gaming but i'd completely forgotton about, stuff like freezing, game suddenly quitting, etc. Even Mario Galaxy is gathering a bit of dust now as there's only so much Mario you can take at any one time.
I was so bored i got Mass Effect and my god, it's actually good. Really good. This has to be the first rpg where i've actually cared about the storyline and characters. I tell a lie, Oblivion was a great storyline but it got a bit tedious spending 2 hours in each Oblivion plane when they essentially looked and worked exactly the same as the last.
I think it's the action more than anything else. You've got the obligatory long conversations but you've also got some great action worthy of any 3rd person shooter. Then you've got hundreds of planets you can actually land on and drive around on the barren surface, even get out and scout around while the atmosphere eats away at your suit, compare this to landing at the only space port on the planet and only run through the corridors the programmers have made for you. It's a hard game, don't get me wrong, it's certainly not as easily explained as Oblivion and some of the interface options could be better, but all in all, I'm actually really enjoying it. And the gfx are superb.
Hate to coin an old cliché but if you loved Oblivion, you'll love Mass Effect.
Just remember it's for over 50 hours of gameplay, so it's not just for Christmas.

Do wonders never cease?
The Simpsons game is out on XBL (well it is in the US, haven't checked in the UK) but it's actually supposed to be really good.
Yeah right, a Simpsons game?... that's good??... I'm not convinced.
But it's supposed to come out on the same day as Mass Effect. Don't really know anything about that game but everyone seems to be spunking over each other about it so i guess i need to check it out.
