I sit here at my place of work with just under 13 days until Rock Band comes out.
As most of you might be aware, I am just a little bit excited for this game.
As a treat to all of my reading faithful, I will post once every day until the game comes out. The post might not be anything about Rock Band (it probably will) but I will write something everyday until the game comes out.
So from November 7th until just before the clock strikes midnight and closes out November 19th, be prepared.
So anyway, Rock Band has done some cool things before it has even come out. For one, it has gotten me into Rush. Tom Sawyer is an amazing fucking song. I always liked YYZ in GH2 and have never really hated on Rush. I knew Neil Peart was a great drummer and that, according to Dave the Lighting Guy in Orgazmo, Geddy Lee is 'the best bass player ever'. It wasn't until I played Tom Sawyer with the Stephen Rockers at Rock Band Tour Philly that I truly realized how awesome this band is. I can't wait to play Tom Sawyer a lot and attempt to beat the song on Expert on drums.
Super Mario Galaxy is sneaking up on me. Its also not receiving the credit from me it deserves. I've put Rock Band on this outrageous pedastal when the game that is being compared to Super Mario Bros 3 just kind of chills waiting for me to be like, "Oh shit, that came out today. I guess I'll buy it. *shrug*"
I've yet to read a negative thing about Mario Galaxy and I hurriedly downloaded Super Mario Bros 3 on Virtual Console to get myself mentally prepared. While I am saddened by the lack of Tanooki Suit, I'm joyous for the 3D Fire Flower and the various other power ups. I am currently planning on watching the Wizard at some point in preparation. I could always do some weird shit and look at pictures of Rilo Kiley and then feel really awkward when I watch the Wizard and Jenny Lewis appears in all her tomboy-prepubescent manner. Oh, and apparently there's some fucked up date rape video where Fred Savage kills DJ from Full House. Chalk that up there with Ryan Reynolds being 12 years old with a drunk mom in a Canadian after school special.
Steve Rock (Sly Rocktar of Stephen Rockers fame) tried to talk me into getting Call of Duty 4 because apparently the game just totally rapes Halo 3. All the hype I've read points to this statement being true, but I just can't bring myself to buying another first person shooter, considering I barely play Halo 3 right now and haven't even beaten campaign (its not that it was hard or anything, I just don't care. If I sit down to play Halo 3, its usually for multiplayer). Also, I'm already overwhelmed by games coming out. I've gone over it in the past. This month is fucking packed. And there's already at least 3 games that I can think of that are already out that I really want to buy. This is going to be the best offseason of gaming ever for me because I'll probably have the likes of Mass Effect, Zack and Wiki, Assassin's Creed and NiGHTS to keep my busy. Although Brawl comes out in February and Mario Kart Wii comes out in Spring...
What the fuck! Is there even an offseason anymore? I need an offseason! How the fuck else am I going to keep up with gaming.
Oh yea, that span of 2-3 years when the next generation of systems come about and everything is dead...

I need more allowance! Yodel-lay-he-hoo!
Its been quite a while since I actually finished a post. I just cleared out my back log of 3 half-written posts that were never finished. I shall now summarize them for you.
1) A dissertation on what games I should buy
2) I play Guitar Hero a lot
3) Harvey Birdman: Attorney At Law got delayed til next year because Capcom realized 18 million other games were coming out in November.
Speaking of that, I'm pretty November 2007 might be one of the busiest months in gaming history. While there is no big launch of a new system, its the first time since gaming arguably became mainstream that 3 systems have been running at full speed.
That is, if we argue that gaming didn't become mainstream until about 2002-2003, when Gamecube was already declared dead by the general populous because its one mainstream title, Super Smash Bros Melee, had come out 2 weeks after launch. I'm still of the opinion that the majority of people that saw the original Twilight Princess trailer thought it was coming out on a new console since Gamecube was already being completely ignored by every company except Nintendo.
But anyway, November is fucking busy...and we are currently 2 days away from it.
Now this is where I go into the three previous posts that were never officially posted.
We are currently coming off the release of Guitar Hero III, which I'm pretty sure will top Halo 3 in sales, except it won't officially be so because GHIII is coming out for 5 different systems and that means there are 5 different SKUs.
On that note, Guitar Hero III is a wonderful game. A game. That's all. Its no longer the revolution that Harmonix joyously brought us two years ago. I can see why Harmonix left it. I'm having a lot of fun with this game but, in my opinion, it brings nothing substantially new to the series and genre besides new songs. The battle mode is cool but it makes it less of "OMFG I'm playing guitar!' and makes it 'Oh shit, I gotta get the power-ups!' I've made this comment to a lot of people but it still holds true: I'm waiting to fail a song and hear the Mario Game Over music.
Although the boss battles are very fun, but I'd much rather just have it be a straight up face-off.
So anyway, the month of November is almost upon us and there is a veritable maelstrom of games coming our way.
The first week (Oct 28-Nov 3) offers some fun options that might sucker the person who is unaware of the grander things to come.
Manhunt 2 (Wii, PS2) comes out just in time for Halloween and for a short time following the end of the controversy this game provided, I wanted it. Then I saw the new trailer and heard the testicle-crunching scene was removed. Sadness...
The Simpsons Game (A lot) is also coming out. I think in time for the DVD, but I have seen no mention of the DVD in my all-internet, little-TV-watching world.
Battalion Wars 2 (Wii) is one of the latest in the long line of games Nintendo doesn't advertise. I'll be honest, I fucking forgot this game was even coming out. Whatever. If you like RTS', you'll probably like this game.
Viva Pinata: Party Animals (360) also hits stands this week. Downloaded the demo at Lauren's behest. Its terrible terrible Sonic-and-the-Secret-Rings-Mario-Party-copy crap. When is Viva Pinata DS coming out anyway? We need that game like we need water. A lot.
Virtua Fighter 5 (360) comes out too. *yawn* Played the PS3 demo many moons ago. Not a big fighter dude. I am looking forward to Street Fighter 4 though. Mainly because my fighting game preference comes from nostalgia (Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Marvel vs. Capcom and Super Smash Bros)
So there's week one. This is light and I'll probably only purchase the Simpsons Game, but not right away. I recommend BWII for anyone who enjoys RTS and Manhunt 2 just simply doesn't excite me anymore.
So Week 2 (Nov 4-10) begins...
Call of Duty 4 (360, PS3) comes out and this game looks fucking awesome. However, my FPS quota has been filled with Halo 3 and thus, I'm passing (for now) on what appears to be Halo's only FPS competitor.
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii) looks to be only must-almost-buy of the week. I remain a bit hesitant because Sega has done nothing but break my heart over the years but, like a beaten girlfriend, I keep on being optimistic that they're going to change. This game should be solid because of Nintendo's minor involvement, but NiGHTS worries me.
Fire Emblem (Wii) is released in the same demographic as Battalion Wars. It fits the bills for the game Nintendo forgets they are releasing. It just seems to be no improvement from prior Fire Emblem games and thus, I remain unexcited. They're good games, but they're just not for me anymore.
Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga (A lot) looks to be a solid upgrade for the series. This has always been a series I wanted to get into but can never justify spending a lot of money on it and usually always end up skipping on it. I will probably buy this game in a year or two when a November is not as packed as this (will it ever happen?).
Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Some Ridiculous Subtitle (PS2) comes out and promises to be the best golf-fighting game ever.
Interesting note: Viva Pinata hits PC this week. Since my strength lies in consoles, I had no idea of this. If you don't a 360 and own a decent computer, buy this game.
The only game this week that demands my money is Mario & Sonic, but even that might swallowed up by my zest for the coming weeks...
If this month were a movie, this would be the beginning of a two part climax (ew...sticky). Week 3 (Nov 11-17) brings about the most games and is the week that the delayed Harvey Birdman was originally going to come out.
The headliner of this week is obviously Super Mario Galaxy (Wii). This will be a possible Game of the Year and is on an elite level all of its own. Its Mario and it controls wonderfully and from my brief experience with the game, it elicits that magical feeling that one gets whenever he plays Super Mario 64 (which I'm pretty sure is required to be played before you graduate high school now).
Contra IV (DS) rounds out the must-buys for the week and will probably frustrate me until the day I die (which is hopefully years from now. I've got to be able to stay alive until 311 becomes classic rock and is featured in Rock Band). Trust me, this shit is hard.
Assassin's Creed (360, PS3) is a game that would probably be a sure purchase for me at any other time of the year. However, it comes out a week before Rock Band and the same day as Super Mario Galaxy and Contra IV. As much as Kristen Bell's vocal involvement compels me to buy this game, I might have to pass.
Rayman Raving Rabids 2 (Wii) should be infinitely better than its predecessor. This game has no identity crisis anymore. It knows it is born to be a multiplayer game and it shall run with glee through the grassy fields.
Soul Calibur Legends (Wii), while not the fighter we all wish it would be, is still should be an amazing game that delves into the highly involved story that Soul Calibur apparently has. I think Raphael is in it and it will probably include some sort of demonic blade thingy.
We'll follow up Soul Calibur with an actual fighting game. DBZ: Budokai Tenakaichi Gibberish Jap Speak 3 (Wii) is going to once again show the world how a non-Smash Bros fighting game is done on Wii. And its going to be online. Allon, please buy this.
Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles (Wii) represents the shooter game that probably will have the least frustrating controls of any Resident Evil game ever. I wish I would buy this day 1 and shoot shit all the time. However, I need more allowance.
Beowulf is supposed to be bloody as fuck. Cool
Luxor and Puzzle Quest come out for Wii this week. A Zuma clone and probably the coolest puzzle/RPG hybrid ever? These will be must purchases in the lull of spring/summer.
This week basically has two games on the innovative pieces of work Nintendo is championing. Super Mario Galaxy and Contra IV overshadow every other good game coming out this week. I don't have enough time to play all this shit!
This second to last week (the climax/falling action of our epic) is ROCK BAND WEEK!!!!
ROCK BAND COMES OUT AND WILL RULE THE WORLD WITH A METAL FIST WITH PUNK AND CLASSIC ROCK AND A LOT MORE.
I'm buying Rock Band this week. Duh.
Link's Crossbow Training (Wii) sees release this week. I will buy this, but only because its 20 bucks.
Mass Effect (360) is going to be amazing, but its not Rock Band and I won't play it yet. I wish I had time, but alas, Rock Band is more important than the spiritual sequel to KOTOR.
I probably missed games this week, but after mentioning Rock Band, I stopped focusing on this and started daydreaming about Rock Band.
Week 5 is a shitty denouement. Nothing of note comes out.
So...the month's tally comes to:
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games $49.99
Super Mario Galaxy $49.99
Contra IV $34.99
Link's Crossbow Training $19.99
Rock Band $169.99
Grand Total (+Tax) $347.70
That's an entire paycheck at my job and then some.
Fuckin' titties, man. Fuckin' titties...

In Other News... (Nintendo Conference)
Kirby Superstar DS = amazing
Only thing better would be that and Kirby Superstar on Virtual Console. Actually, if it comes out for DS, that might dash our Kirby Superstar VC hopes.
~~
Super Mario Stadium Baseball is coming out for Wii. The official subtitle was also announced. SMSB: Hitting and Pitching Balls to Bats In A Simulated Mario Baseball Setting.
(Note: Super Mario Stadium Baseball is the Japanese name. Mario Strikers Charged is something like "Mario Smash Football ChargedROFLCOPTER!" in Japan or something)
(Other Note: The game will rule and hopefully not be overshadowed like Mario Superstar Baseball)
~~
Mario Kart Wii is coming out in Spring 2008 and apparently will have motorcycles. Well, at least its not two people per kart.
~~
WiiWare (original game content released over the internet) is coming in March 2008 and will launch with a side-story sequel to Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles.
The games I care about that are hitting WiiWare? Dr. Mario and Bomberman.
~~
Disaster: Day of Crisis has apparently not been cancelled. Still don't know what the hell it is about.
~~
Wii Music looks to be the sequel-in-spirit to Wii Sports.
Wii Fit is irritated by that statement, but hey, yoga's a little 'mo-ish and the game and the balance board are looking to be about 10 dollars south of Guitar Hero.
However, Wii Fit is coming out in December in Japan and probably around then in the US. That stupid fact makes the Brawl delay a lot more likely.
Although maybe Wii Fit will come out in January in America and Brawl will come out in the US in December.
Holy crap I want Brawl to come out this year...
~~
Timesplitters 4 has been announced.
If it comes out for Wii, Halo 3 might have a challenger.

Seemingly Random Musings
Video Game Program tomorrow at the Hopewell Library at 12 Noon - 4 PM. Be there!
It'll probably be focused on Halo 3, but Wii will be present and so Melee will probably be played.
However, the Guitar Hero Playing Device (PS2) is not making the trip. Hopefully Steve Rock will bring his guitar for the 360 version so GH will be made available.
~
~
I still really want to buy Skate (360). The demo will occasionally pop up in my fucked up Halo dreams and then like, I'll be doing kickflips and grinds with Master Chief and Elites. I liked it better when I'd play some puzzle game a lot and then go to sleep dreaming of playing Dr. Mario or Mean Bean Machine. Well...at least I'm not dreaming about Bioshock...
~
Bioshock is fucking fucked up. Fuck.
~
~
I hope NiGHTs 2 (Wii) doesn't suck. I've always wanted to play more of the game but never thought the entry fee of an entire Sega Saturn was worth it.
~
Mario and Sonic Olympics should salvage the crap that Sega's been putting together. Fencing excites me and so does the fact that its both mascots in the same freaking game. If this game can get to half-Warioware proportions, I'll be content.
~
~
After playing a lot more 360 in recent weeks, Nintendo really needs to get their internet shit together. Virtual Console is hot shit but online play? downloadable content?
I've been having a ball with my 360 because of those two things. I've been downloading demos, playing games online, downloading content...
Albeit this will overturn as Halo 3 wears out, I've played a lot more 360 in the past month. My Wii playing has been delegated to these things:
1. Melee (Gamecube game)
2. Sin and Punishment and F-Zero X (Nintendo 64 games)
3. The occasional drunken Warioware game (alcohol influence)
4. Metroid Prime 3, which got shoved aside once Halo 3 came out and appeared to outMetroid Metroid in its second level with all the fucking backtracking. Although MPrime3 outHalo'd Halo with its opening scene with the spaceship getting attacked.
So my Wii playing has been older games and drunkeness primarily.
My 360 playing has been generally new and sober.
With the advent of GHIII (which 360 won my purchase) and Rock Band, there will be a veritable brawl...
waitwaitwaitwait
Super Smash Bros Brawl is coming out for Wii.
Oh fuck, Nintendo wins.
