Everyone had a lot of expectations going into Microsoft's E3 press conference yesterday. Here's what I thought about it.

I decided to restart Pandora's Tower today. I hadn't played in a few weeks and completely lost as to what I was doing, plus I was only on the second dungeon so I didn't have to retread much territory. Let's hope I see it through to the end this time.
LightningandIce: That's a good call. I usually don't plan to take breaks, though, it just kind of happens. Also, the structure of Pandora's Tower wouldn't allow for that kind of thing anyway. It does sound like a nice idea, though.
Molmoran: Whenever I'm not sure I'll stick with a game, I always turn it off in a place that looks easy, so that when I pick the game up, I don't feel overwhelmed and confused!

With the PS3 and 360 being this gen's "bro" consoles, the chorus of American Hi-Fi's "Flavor of the Weak" just doesn't sound right anymore.

I've been having a mild case of writer's block lately. If anyone wants to give me a topic to blog about, I'll be grateful for the suggestion.
Molmoran: Join the club! I had an idea lined up but Samarai Spartan has addressed most of my points in his latest post!
LousyTactician: I don't have a topic to suggest, but this Cracked article did a good job getting rid of my writer's block. http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-tips-punching-writers-block-in-face/

In today's news, I beat Cave Story on the Wii, but then my laptop died because the cord is broken and I can't charge the battery, so that's out of commission until the replacement comes in from Amazon. Also, Giana Sisters Twisted Dreams is Steam's daily deal. It's a good game, if anyone is interested.

"I feel like they're not even trying to make good consoles anymore, they're just trying to one-up each other." -my brother
Molmoran: I guess it's a sign of games "growing up" one of those bad signs I mean.
LightningandIce: I should have put "civilized" in quotes.
LightningandIce: I didn't even think of it that way, but now that you mention it, the same could probably apply to any civilized government in the modern world.
Molmoran: Haha, a bit like British politics!

If you don't mind your games being short and repetitive as long as they're fun, look into PAM: Post Apocalyptic Mayhem. It's only $2.50 on Amazon for the next few days. You can see everything there is to see in less than an hour, but it's still a blast, and even if you hate it, you're only out two bucks.

Graduating college: great! Spending your Friday night in a crowded gymnasium wearing goofy clothes and pretending to listen to a bunch of old people give speeches about stuff you don't care about: not great.
LightningandIce: Thank you :-)
Molmoran: Congratulations!

Ever have a game switch genres on you? Earlier I turned Uncharted, which had previously found to be a fun action-adventure, only to discover that it had warped into a scary survival horror. What the heck?
LightningandIce: The only one of those four games I've played is MGS, but now that you mention it, yeah, I remember that. Of course, Uncharted isn't the only game I've played where that happened, but it took me completely by surprise.
Molmoran: Final Fantasy VII and Metal Gear Solid both have sections where you follow a blood trail. It gets really creepy, I love it.
Ferret75: I love it when otherwise cheerful and friendly games suddenly temporarily turn into a survival horror game. Banjo Kazooie does this at times with Clanker's Cavern and Snacker the shark. Then of course you have the Waterwraith dungeon in Pikmin 2.

Most of my experience with KI was the Game Boy version that my brother had way back in the day. I remember liking it and even being good at it at one point, but that was a long time ago. last time I tried to play it (a couple years ago) I was terrible and didn't enjoy it at all.
I also had a friend who owned the game on SNES. My strategy in every fighting game was basically to pick one or two special moves and spam the crap out of them. My friend actually took the time to learn the game mechanics, and as a result, would always kick my butt. That's why I wasn't a fan: all of my memories of the game are just me losing because I couldn't understand the way the game worked.
I've thought about trying to track down a copy for a while, just because I like collecting games and it seemed like a cool thing to have on my shelf. Now that you've suggested it, I'll keep an eye out for the N64 version next time I go to my local used game store.
Also, thanks for reading and commenting!
By the looks of things I probably won't be getting an Xbox One this generation, especially since I have so many games in my back log!
I was semi-excited about Killer Instinct 3, but after discovering Rare isn't making it and it's going to be Free to play, I'm no longer interested.
Speaking of which, if you plan on playing KI, the N64 one is better than the SNES one.
