Zombieland/Brutal Legend/Batman: Arkham Asylum

Zombieland was a surprise.  I thought for sure that it would be a little better than average, but I found that I was laughing a lot more than I usually do in a theatre.  Especially during the Bill Murray cameo, everything they wrote for that section of the movie was comic gold.  It felt good, 90 minutes was perfect, and the company that I went to the movie with was comfortable.  But a few words for those fine folks at Wynsong, “You dicks have a mold problem FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT.”

I just beat Brutal Legend and am currently starting my second play-through.  I pretty much love everything about the game, you can really tell when they tailored the entire game as a love letter to metal.  Which is something that I am really, really attracted to.  But the writing, voice work, animations, gameplay, MUSIC, cameos, fucking everything is so fitting that I really could care less about flaws.  I can’t wait to polish up my skills in multiplayer and take it to Xbox Live.  Game of the year, easy.

Batmang is something that is said around the house a lot.  For example, if something is broken, I approach the situation the way Batman would.  So when I am playing Batman, it is almost second nature.  It is like playing the Superman version of myself in a videogame.  Either way, I am not done with it yet and it is pretty engaging.  I will type more tomorrow.
