Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is The "Sex Bob-Omb!

Just went to a free sneak peak screening last night. I know, awesome, right?

All right, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World was just as "epic" as it claims to be. I had the highest of expectations, which I normally don't for movies, and they were exceeded in every way. Maybe the experience was enhanced by being in a theatre full of like-minded fans. I actually have to go back for a second screening because I missed pieces of dialogue from everybody laughing so loudly.

Casting, costumes, story, acting, special effects; all of it was just top-notch.

If you haven't made it through all the books yet (and why oh why haven't you!?) finish them up and be prepared for one of the most awesome movies ever made!

One more off the list...

Game Title: Just Cause 2

Plublisher: Square Enix

Just Cause 2 is the story of Rico Rodriguez, a member of the Agency, who is called forth to go undercover in the island nation of Panau and take down the the dictator Baby Panay. Along the way he discovered that Panau is a rich source of oil and Russia, China, and Japan are interested in claiming that precious Black Gold (Texas Tea) for themselves. Well, not if America has anything to say about that, by golly!

Seriously, this game should have be called, "Just Blow Shit Up." The story is barely there, the character development nonexistent, the voice acting is terrible. Thankfully the graphics and game play are pretty solid (all bugs aside).

The point of the game is to run around the 400 square mile island nation (feature everything from lush jungles, to snow mountains, arid deserts, and a strip club attached to two blimps cleverly christened "The Mile High Club." Oh sophomoric humor, where would life be without you...) and blow up anything that features the Panauan flag. See a gas tank, shoot that thing until is 'splodes all over. A wind turbine? Grapple up to the top, set a remote triggered C4 pack, parachute off, and pull the trigger. Yes, as the top American agent, it's your mission to send this nation back into the stone age by sabotaging all of their natural resources (and cracking wise all the way). Along the way, you can do side missions to help increase the "chaos" and the fun.

The game is huge! 368 locations to visit! Engrish aplenty! 104 vehicles to drive, fly, or captain. I poured 120+ hours into this beast (that's where I've been) and came in at 98.21% completion. I finally came to the point where I had to remind myself that I have other games to play and locating the items to finish the last 1.79% the remained was just bordering on Howard Hughes levels of insanity so I had better quit before I grew a pencil thin mustache and started drawing portraits on the walls with my poop.

So, if you have a ton of free time, are looking for something to kill that free time and then rape it's corpse with a stick of dynamite, then Just Cause 2 is the game for you!
