A Bunch of Things

Yeah, so... I forgot about my blog for ages. Been preoccupied with girl and various games and movies and looking for a bed.

The games:
New Super Mario Bros.
It's pretty good and fun. I still prefer Super Mario World over any other, but it was still a solid game. Was a bit more challenging than I was expecting, and probably would have lasted me a lot longer had I not used a guide to find all the star coins, but hey, I get sick of looking pretty quickly.

Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus
This game is an old platformer from around 1995 I think, and it's awesome. It's kind of similar to Prince of Persia, only the puzzle elements revolve around rescuing Mudokens, and it's fantastic and challenging too.

Brain Age: Train your brain in minutes a day
Not so much a game, but it still occupies plenty of time. Good excersise for the mind and I think it's working. Also a ton of sudoku puzzles. Really enjoying those.

The movies:
Cars
Another great Pixar movie. The attention to detail is top notch, as usual and it's pretty fun to watch. Wasn't the best story they've ever done, but it wasn't rubbish either. The short at the beginning, One Man Band, was superb. Awesome credits and post credits work. ;)

Superman Returns
Pretty decent watch. Aparrently it was long, but it didn't seem like it when I saw it. I was a bit disappointed by the fact that the boy is overly obviously his son. But eh, what can you do? Also, I wish they explored the whole crystals idea... the crystal world growing mayhem had barely started and it was over. :(

Over the Hedge
I was quite surprised by this movie, Alexis and I took her two younger siblings to see it, I was expecting more Madagascar and Shrek 2 drivel, but I quite liked it. The biggest kicker for me, being a musician, was the fact that Ben Folds did a few songs for the movie and they were awesome and fitted the scenes, whilst not sounding like generic stuff you usually hear. It was also quite funny... though Bruce Willis as a raccoon just didn't fit right, in my opinion. I really liked the turtle.

The Bed.
Looked for a futon. Found a nice one. Gunna buy it... over time. Moving into a new room... which incidentally was my old room when we first moved into this house, but the carpet wasn't much good for my allergic tendancies, so I moved into the room next door that was floorboarded. Anyway, my Dad has ripped up the carpet in there and put in a floating floor, looks pretty good and I think it's all done, just have to move in. Hooray!

The End for now.
