Time for a video game review.
Smash Bros. is an awesome game. It is more or less an updated version of the previous Super Smash Bros. games. There is nothing new in terms of game play. The games controls are pretty straight forward. The Wiimote's motion control is not used which makes sense. It would be a bitch to play if it did. You can play a variety of ways. You can use the Wiimote and Nunchuk, just the Wiimote, the Wii classic controller, or a Gamecube controller. I prefer the Wiimote and Nunchuk since I was shit terrible on Gamecube and the classic controller doesn't have a very nice feel to it.
Back to the game. Like I said the game is essentially an improved version of the last one. It has bettere graphics, different levels, and an unprecedented 35 characters to play as. It has a suprisingly fun and addictive single player side scrolling adventure type game. This campaign enables you to become familiarized with the controls and as you progress you unlock characters, enabling you to try each one out. You can also play co-op which would enable you complete the missions faster, but let's face it, if you have more than one person you are going to play brawl because that is essentially what this game is about. Beating the living hell out of your friends for bragging rights.
Most of the caracters have been seen before such as Mario, Pikachu, Kirby, Link, DK, Samus and Ness. All the characters are from Nintendo games with 2 notable exceptions: Sony's Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid and Sonic from Sega. I am kinda shocked that Sony allowed one of it's competitors to use Snake, but I am glad they did. Snake is by far my favorite character in the game. He is strong, fast and while his jump isn't that fantastic. His up-B move is one the best in the game, enabling him to recover from virtually anywhere.
Some people might be turned off by the sameness of the game, but for true diehard Smash Bros. fans, this is another great game to already wicked series. Much like its predecessors, this game will be played for many years to come.
8.7/10

I really enjoyed. Your sentence structure. Lots of periods. So as not to confuse us. ?.
8.7?
What are you basing this rating structure on?
Marc. Konami owns Solid Snake. They can put him in anything they want. If need be.
Sonic is owned by Sega, yes. Sega is not a console manufacturer anymore. Only software. Like the previous part about SS, they can do what they want with him. Btw, there's a Sonic game I just saw for XBOX 360. Does that mean Microsoft owns Sonic? No. Fucker.
Haha. Bragging rights. "DURRR IM THE BEST AT SUPER SMASH BROS. BRAWL DURRR". Having that title basically means you probably won't touch a boob until your 45.
So why does Super Smash Bros. get praised when it releases virtually the same game as the others (according to Marc), while Madden gets verbally raped? Not that I'm defending Madden in anyway for their bullshit antics, but we shouldn't be happy with the same old shit every time.
I thought Sony owned Snake, sorry for the misstep. And I knew Sonic has been tossed around since Sega stopped making consoles.
As for Madden, it comes out every year. This is the first Super Smash Bros game in 7 years. So in that respect it was time for an update, and why ruing something awesome by trying to change the game massively?
You could use that argument for Madden except for one little thing, it isnt awesome. Madden's doesn't compare to Smash Bros on the fun scale. If you haven't spent all night play Smash Bros. eating pizza and doritos and drinking Mountain Dew then you haven't lived. Or can call yourself a gamer.
Come talk to me when Madden gets 4 player mode online. And updates more than the roster each year.
Madden ruined EA.
Madden ruined EA? I think it might be the other way around...until last year. Madden had little or nothing to do with EA being good or bad. It's simply a game they develop.
Madden is more fun. Since I enjoy football more than fighting with cartoon characters in a make-believe setting. That's just me though.
I prefer playing Madden all night, eating hamburgers, Arriba chips and drinking crab juice.
I am still a gamer. I just don't batshit crazy with it...and end up like some sort of nutjob who wears a t-shirt that says: "All your base are belong to us" and drink two cases of Bawls a day.
So you're saying that you expect a game to be improved more if it's released every year, rather than every 7 years? That doesn't really make sense. I know what you mean by keeping the game rather similar, but 7 years of development should mean a fucking 10/10.
Once again, not trying to defend Madden, but releasing a game every year makes it a little tougher to make the big changes. And Madden doesn't even really need a big overhaul, it just needs to focus on the little things to make it more realistic.
That just made me realize...it is SO much fucking harder to make Madden than Super Smash Bros. We play Madden expecting it to be exactly like the real NFL. You play Smash Bros. and compare it to what? The last game? You can't compare it to anything, so it's hard to find flaws. Madden's flaws are fairly easy to see by people who watch football, so it makes it seem like EA sucks. They still could fix things, but there will always be other things people find wrong with it.
I think you just made me hate EA less by writing this...weird.
Posted it twice. Oops?
From what I've been hearing. And seeing...saw it being played all god damned night yesterday at work. It's almost the exact fucking game. Nothing has changed.
More characters. Not very difficult.
Single player mode. Looked sub par.
Different maps. Bit cooler. More confusing. Hated it.
Not very great. I'd give it a 6.9/10. Nice looking game...but not too much on the side of innovation or "fun". I found the previous versions just as "fun" or maybe even a bit more/less confusing.
Marc, get the fuck off that Adwizards blog. I better not see you comment there ever again.
First off, just because it has been 7 years since the last Super Smash, doesnt mean that it has been in development for 7 years.
But let's stop this bickering over which is better (even though I may have started it). I may have just had an epifany?...epiphany?...anyway. I have come to the sudden conclusion that I no longer hate Madden, although EA is still a gigantic bitch. As long as it continues to make video games more popular I'm happy with it. The more mainstream video games are the less Fucking stupid people will be when it comes to bitching about the content of games i.e. Bully, GTA, Manhunt. And if EA wants to release the same game over and over so be it. I don't give a shit. I'm not going to play it so whatever.
And as for my comment Riley, Fuck off. I'll comment wherever the Fuck i want to comment. But ya, I probably wont comment there again. I just felt the need to because of how Fucking stupid that add was. Miller Lite, and all light beer in general is Fucking terrible.
Is that like some kind of fear of being called a girl for drinking it? Even though you won't admit it, I bet you hate it just because it's technically not quite as potent. I was apparently born without beer tastebuds so all of it tastes the same and I just go with the easiest/cheapest to get. I understand if you really think it tastes worse than your Stella or other expensive shit, but most people hate on lights because they think it makes them gay or something.
Breezers, on the other hand, might as well be drank through your vag. Along with the gay blue drink Riley got one night at that restaurant. A little help with the name?
Yeah, that thing was ultra-gay. It was called "Purple Rain".
I've never really been into these games, but I would have expected the remote movement would have been involved somehow. Seems like that's the only good thing about Wii to me.
Apparently the new Madden thing is endzone celebrations. Fuck me. Do something worthwhile like improve the line play (both sides of the ball). And make the DB's somewhat realistic. I hate to sound like a little bitch, but All-Madden was out of control hard last year. At least put more sliders so we can create our own difficulty settings. This may or may not turn into a post.
O Riley and his girly drinks.
It's not that I'm scared to dink light beers, it just that to me they taste like water. Same goes for Molson and Blue. I just can't stand drinking them.
Are you shitting me about Madden? Endzone celebrations? Is it gonna be a skill stick type thing where when you score you move the stick around (like you are dekeing in NHL or skill moves in FIFA). Thats ridiculous. They need to do more than just change the buttons around. The NFL should never have let EA have total control of the licence. Now EA has no need to make a better game because they have no competition. They know people will continue to buy it irregardless because it is the only licensed title.
I think we beat down Madden enough for one day.
Stella tastes like horse piss. Same goes with any import. There is no reason to drink any beer from another country, unless you are in that country. Because they slightly alter the formula to suit Canadian tastes (to some degree)...which ends up making their beer taste like a rusty asshole or nothing special at all.
Like people who order a Stella or some other fancy dancy beer. Like they have some sort of perfect taste in beer. No...you are not a connaiseur...you are just a disphit who bought a $6 beer.
Nothing wrong with Molson or Blue, Marc. Except that they give me the worst dry mouth and headache the next day. Even if I only have 2.
I like Sleeman the best. I'm partial to Rickards as well. Great beer. Coors Light for quantity drinking (ie. if im looking to buy a 24 and get piss loaded). I will settle for Keiths, but...I find the odds of cracking one open that tastes like skunk is high.
But ya. Where ever you are in the world. Drink the local beer. Doesn't get any better than that. I'd take a Pil over a Stella any day for that reason. And because I'm not gay.
I agree about Keith's. It seems like I've had a high ratio of those that were flat/tasted weird/were generally shitty. But yeah, Pil is sweet.
Do you seriously think that beer companies alter their formula to "suit canadian tastes?"
That's incredibly ignorant.
"There is no reason to drink a beer from any other country unless you're in that country"
That makes no sense. Were you wasted when you wrote that?
Anyway, telling people that the beer they like is gay because you don't like it makes you a fucking dickhead. Everyone has different preferences when it comes to beer.
I like Stella. I'm willing to pay a little extra from time to time in order to drink some. I'll pay the extra 3$ or whatever to have a pint. Not a big deal. I don't think that qualifies me as a dipshit. Asshole.
last comment was me...accidentally pressed enter
Seriously, Riley? Why does that sound so absolutely impossible?
I am not %100 positive in the case of Stella...but it seems pretty ignorant to me for you to suggest that it tastes exactly the same as it does in Belgium. It is well known that many beer companies frequently alter their recipes to tailor their products to the target market. People want a beer with a taste closer to what they are used to at home. I don't even know why I'm repeating myself. I didn't say that to incite a bullshit argument in you, only to provide evidence into why Stella is overrated and other imports are not appealing to me.
No one can argue that beer tastes vary throughout the world. Beer is brewed so that people will enjoy it, and so the company can sell a lot of it. They brew it to the country's tastes. I wouldn't be surprised if Stella Artois was an example of this. Them venturing into the world market and all.
You're a twat.
Oh, and me saying that there is no point drinking an import unless I'm in the country its made in. That was an opinion. And it did make sense, except all you said was that it didn't...and followed that up with a lack of any reason. Just said I was wasted. Spot on by the way...
I'm not a dickhead for thinking you're gay for liking Stella. I thought you were gay before. But liking a faggy ass beer like that tops it. Even the glass they serve it in looks like it came from Liberace's cabinet. It screams "I'm a rich fucking homo who likes fruity fucking import beer that makes me look like a pretentious asshole".
You willing to pay an extra $3 for beer is fine by me, not my money. I just think buying a $6 Stella is incredibly dipshit-like (in my eyes) because it doesn't taste like God's piss. It's a decent beer. There are plenty better beers out there for much cheaper.
But ya, don't call me an asshole for saying your beer is shitty. I mean...I'm sure Stella's reputation is going to be alright. I didn't mean to hurt your delicate sensibility.
I never suggested it tastes exactly the same in Belgium at all. You're ignorant for pretending I said that.
Where do you get that people alter their beer to suit tastes? Show me one shred of evidence. That's a completely unfounded claim. That's such a ridiculous statement.
"There is no reason to drink a beer from any other country unless you're in that country"
Why would I drink a beer from another country? Oh...I don't know...maybe...I like it?
You can keep calling me a twat and gay and whatever other stupid insult you can think of if you want, but you're just embarrassing yourself.
"It screams 'I'm a rich fucking homo who likes fruity fucking import beer that makes me look like a pretentious asshole."
If anyone is the asshole here, it's you. So what...do you want everyone to sit around and drink your precious Sleeman? OH MY GOD, that guy is drinking STELLA! What a fucking pretentious douchebag! Let's go kick his ass!
Do you give dirty looks to everyone who orders an import at the bar?
You don't agree with drinking imports, I can accept that. That's your opinion. But you don't need to be an asshole and go on criticizing everyone who has a different taste in beer than you.
Jordan please just take the high road here. Spare us from this argument.
Actually what am I talking about. I really have nothing better to do than read this. Continue.
Hooray for lack of punctuation!
I don't even know who I agree with here, but I like the arguing. That's probably just because I'm not involved, though. I do have one thing to say though about Riley's arguing skills.
When rebutting, you can't just argue one paragraph at a time. You need to at least piece together the couple paragraphs that correlate (or in this case, the next fucking sentence). For example, twice you quoted him on the following:
"There is no reason to drink a beer from any other country unless you're in that country"
Your responses were:
"That makes no sense. Were you wasted when you wrote that?"
"Why would I drink a beer from another country? Oh...I don't know...maybe...I like it?"
I like to call that being an asshole. You completely ignored the very next sentence so you could make him sound like an idiot. Now, I'm not agreeing with Jordan on this topic, but you just can't do that. His opinion is this: you only get the true taste of the beer in the country country in which it's made. Otherwise, it is altered to taste like a beer from the country you are drinking it in (seems made-up, but we don't know).
You say it doesn't make sense, but it does. Don't make him sound dumb because you don't read full paragraphs before replying.
You also say you drink it because you like it - while trying to make him sound like an asshole - but that is exactly what he's arguing. You like it because it's altered to suit your taste, meaning you need not spend your extra money on a virtually Canadian beer.
This was mostly written because the agony we went through last time Jordan and I argued with him. It's hard to argue with someone who selectively reads. I don't agree with either of you on this. You're both assholes.
I would have to agree that some beers are different here than they are in ther country of origin. I'm saying this because it's brewed by another company. Take Budweiser, it's brewed my Molson here (or Labatt's). It doesn't matter which, the point is it is not brewed by Anheuser-Busch. If you have a bud here its ok, not great but ok. If you have bud in the states, it tastes like water. That's because of the countries different tastes. Canadians like stronger beers, Americans don't. That is why they have so many more light beers that in Canada.
I also don't think Anheuser-Busch would give away there whole recipe, so they give away enough so that it tastes like a Bud and is recognizeable, but the brewery has to improvise a bit.
This is all fucking retarded.
Jordan- You're an asshole for criticizing people who drink imports. Fuck yourself. Go drink your precious and perfect Sleeman and pass out on the train tracks.
Lindsey- I'm not making Jordan sound dumb, he's doing that himself. You have no idea how to argue. You can fuck yourself too.
Marc- The recipe for Heineken is no different here than it is in Europe. Same with any other beer. A Bud Light in Canada is the same as one in the States. Heineken is brewed in 39 countries. To suggest they modify the beer to meet each country's or region's tastes is ridiculous. These beers are mass-produced using the exact same bulk ingredients in order to maximize profit and cost-effectiveness.
The thing is, if you think it tastes different, it will taste different. You're experiencing a placebo effect.
Stephen- Sorry pal, I'm not commenting on this post any more.
I'm not your pal, buddy.
You did it again. He didn't sound dumb in his comment, you just twisted everything to make it seem that way. You may think that he is generally dumb as a human, but saying his comment was dumb is just incorrect.
I could argue all day if I had the patience to deal with fuckheads like you whose arguments are based on their own opinions and not facts. Jerk.
Riley, you're a fucking idiot and now more than one person is noticing. I'm not saying what you should like or shouldn't like. Go ahead, make fun of Sleeman's. Doesn't offend me at all. I didn't brew the fucking beer, why would I care? You're the one losing your fucking mind because I called you gay for liking Stella.
My stand on imports is the same kind of stands you take in your usual "beefs" that you post in the other blog. Why should I have to feel like an asshole because I did the same thing you constantly do?
Words cannot describe your argument skills. Abysmal at best.
I don't really mind if no one sees where I'm coming from (Marc did, I guess). I don't have hard evidence to back up what I said. I didn't pull it out of my ass either. Human sources was all I had. Since I would bet my life no beer company would ever admit to what I'm arguing. Ever. So don't expect much in that department. Marc reiterated what I said, it has been thought (I'm guessing through taste testing) that beer is altered to best suit the people it is marketed for. But again, its not in the best interest of the beer company's image to advertise this to the public. Some might feel kind of cheated by not experiencing the beer it was meant to be.
No one "thinks" Heineken will taste different when you buy one here. What for? If they order one, they are thinking they're getting the original Heineken. No placebo effect...it should taste the same. But it doesn't. Some people notice, some people don't care. If you're so quick to cast aside our arguments, then why are we going to take your placebo-beer story seriously?
Anyway. Don't be a pussbag, Riley. Keep this shit going. Entertain.
P.S. Going to go pass out on the tracks with my Sleeman, whatever that means. Still probably better than passing out next to Elton John with your Stella.
I love Riley gets riled up because we make one little comment about him. He then proceeds not to argue the point, but to prove how stupid we are. I second Jordan, Riley is shitting in arguments. He thinks he is great because he took one fucking logic class. If you disagree with Riley his argument will go like this, no matter the subject:
Me: I don't agree.
Riley: Thats because your stupid. Your dumb, only an idiot would think that. You make no sense. Quit being so stupid.
Me: But I think...
Riley: No you don't think. People don't care what you think because you are stupid. Shut up, I'm right and you are wrong. I'm the best.
Hahaha. Its not right to beat up on Riley so bad here...but that was perfect. That's all I'm gonna say.
Hahahahaha Marc...first funny thing you've done in a while. But seriously, I feel like Riley might shoot one of us (Jordan?).
Most likely. But I don't see how I deserve it. I'm just keeping it real up in this bitch.
Btw. Don't assume that Riley has matured and actually is actually ignoring these posts. He's probably read them all...and slowly letting his rage boil over.
You just know he is. I'm just waiting for his next post on your blog, it is gonna be one huge temper tantrum.
Or he's just waiting till I get home because I am the one he wants to shoot.
