Professor Layton and the Brain Jam.
"I think I've got it!"
Screw Apollo Justice! "Professor Layton and the Curious Village" has my priority on my ever-growing list of Killer DS games. Lured by the hefty collection of brain puzzlers and "fully voiced movies (with) lush music". Very cool. But the puzzles can and will BSoD your brain. The puzzle may be hard to solve, but you'll pop when you notice the answer is simply obtained. I'm stuck on a couple of puzzles and I'm forcing myself not to use hints to score as perfect a game as possible.
Apart from that, the graciousness of Nintendo providing free weekly new extra puzzles over the WiFi Connection is making this game even more buyable. This is a trilogy too! So I'll have to get the sequel to unlock "Top Secret" Mode.

Happy 53rd Birthday, Steve Jobs.

Paths to Glory.
It's a schoolgirl with a Katana. What's not cool about that?

click to enlarge.

I got sick and tired of my lines with whatever I do on Photoshop (non-vector, I know.), so I started experimenting with paths using the pen tool. Works great. The end result is as you see above. "A Valentine's Day Katana" is my latest work. I really should have came up with a better title, but I couldn't. It's supposed to be a pun on 'Card'.

I wanted to do a katana-wielding schoolgirl and complete it before Valentine's Day, but No. Didn't happen. I'll file this under 'and the Rest...' on the Artworks page, if I ever get my ass off and get to doing it.

Blu-ray Prevails.

Burnout Paradise is AWESOME.
Crash Your Car! It's Paradise City.
No smartass title. Too awesome.
I've been a fan of burnout since I played Burnout 2. I have a need to crash stuff. I can't drive a virtual car (note. virtual. don't try this on y/our roads) without wanting to crash it and see it explode in a fiery ball. Midtown Madness, Grand Theft Auto 2, GTA:SA and GTA:LTC have all fueled this need of mine. But you always wind up having a tail of cops chasing you. Burnout Paradise is my dream game. Burnout 3 was a dream, but BP was 'heck, yeah!'

We bought the game for the PS3. The graphics, of course, are astonishing, not to even mention the HUGE open city they have you racing in. It's Huge. Trust me. It takes a full 4 minutes just to get from one end to the other. My gosh. We lost control of the car, too shocked to be hearing Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" playing on the EATrax List. Why is that a Racing game song? Ugh, how ghastly. I threw that off the playlist (good feature) and we got down to business.

But the game came with a (shudder) Chinese manual. Traditional Chinese. So I couldn't read squat off it. It was only till I fiddled with pressing L1 + R1 together, when the fun really started. I was laughing myself silly with Showtime mode. It's the new Crash event, only that you can start Showtime anytime, anywhere, with any car. Plus, the physics of this is crazy. Took me a while to get used to it, but I'm sure I'll beat it next time.

I don't care what you're a fan of. Buy the Game.

PS. We also got Devil May Cry 4. Enjoy the half-hour installation process!
