Honestly.....

...I'm just too damn tired. Four days since the last post. Technically Friday, 8 June 2012, we haven't seen a solitary act of opinionated journalism around these parts recently. These past three days have been physically and mentally exhausting. Now, I'm considered somewhat overly dramatic at times and most times can be pretty heavy. While three days stands nowhere near to that of thirty times as many, waking up earlier than usual by about two-three hours just sucks for any employed person. Who really wants to abandon the cold, comfortable confines of a memory foam topped mattress? 


Would you?


How about you? 


Perhaps you might? 


The gentleman in the back with two bags of Doritos and a case of Mountain Dew? Wait, why would you know? You never leave the WOW-infested computer. 


Yes, my intolerable detest of WOW persists even in my blogging attempts. Free online play brings the utmost enjoyment in a video game. Free vs monthly payments of your life, dignity, pride, and oh, yes, virginity. 


Enough of this rant because I seem to excel at fashioning pointless, one-sided banter over subjects far too meaningless. Onward, my fellow cohorts in internet shenanigans! 


Prometheus finally hits theatres with a midnight launch. Sadly, I worked and attended class; therefore, my resolve pretty shot itself down despite consuming a N0S energy drink that tasted like horse piss mixed with artificial citrus flavors. I will, however, catch the early showing at 10:20 AM central standard. Expect my couch rating in the post later today or Saturday. Can Ridley Scott make his grand re-entrance into his beloved sci-fi genre? Stay tuned, comrades!


In other news, I just finished Killzone 3 about half an hour ago. They ended the game that way. Yeah, that way for all you Guerilla Studios fans out there. Why and how that prick's still alive confounds/intrigues me. I mean, the freaking big-ass boom-boom wasn't enough?! Dish out the game and I'll dish out the green, Guerilla. 


Oh, and for all you Nintendo fanboys, yes. It comes in black. Supposedly arriving on your shelves this holiday season, Nintendo's fully HD, 1080p, eight-generation console will come in a black finish. As for a price, not so much yet. E3 has tossed out information like t-shirt cannons at a rock concert. Xbox 720?  Playstation 4? Hell, I hope not. Please, don't take my money away now. I have collector's editions pre-ordered. 


Expect the Wii U to ship either in time for Christmas or early first quarter 2013. Nintendo would be insane not releasing it for the holidays. Critical marketing failure right there. U's launch titles look like your average Nintendo fare with a little hey-hey tossed in like Arkham City: Armored Edition, Mass Effect 3, Rayman, and possibly a Battlefield title. 


The Last of Us looks incredible as does Beyond: Two Souls. Naughty Dog comes back after Nathan Drake with a post-apocalyptic joy-ride while Quantic Dream of Heavy Rain fame takes Ellen Page as the primary protagonist. Yes and yes, wrap them up and put a bow on the box. 


Don't shy away this holiday season. 'Tis the definitive gaming season for all gamers to share the joy of fragging with kindness. Just remember the golden rule: Frag not, lest ye be fragged. 


Aaaaaaaaaand, what DO you do with a BA in English? How the hell should I know? I'm still an undergraduate! Alright, fine. Try #9- conduct a tour of the Globe Theatre, but in Shakespearean English. It's cryptic and fun!
