Everyone else gets the coolest neighbors. I’m stuck with Bubbles and Opal…(Photo by Abriael)

It was a pretty busy last week and this one promises to be just as action-packed.

Movies
None!

TV

Arrested Development – I like to think of S4 as a giant puzzle box that’s slowly unraveling, revealing its secrets to us. There have been some solid laughs in the second half of the season and I’m enjoying the show rather thoroughly. Just finished the Maeby episode, so we’re down to the home stretch. One of my favorite things about the show is the way that the family continually makes the same mistakes because they’re all composed of self-centered fools. It’s like a comedy One Hundred Years of Solitude!

Music

I heard Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” approximately 20 times this past weekend. Enjoy!

Books

Not any of these either!

Video Games

Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask – Daily puzzles is where it’s at. I love the land/territory ones.

Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box – About 3/4 done. Animal Crossing is definitely gonna slow down how much progress I make here…

Animal Crossing: New Leaf – Giant Bomb made the latest Animal Crossing release sound so charming and cool that I couldn’t resist downloading it Sunday around 0100. I’m happy to say that it is perfectly charming and it really gets its claws into you somehow. It scratches the Harvest Moon itch too…maybe that’s it.

The terribly, unfortunately named Theathrhythm Final Fantasy came out today. Brad and Jeff are here to tell you about it. Oh man, guys…I want to replace my 3DS now. This looks ridiculous and awesome.

The Giant Bomb crew check out Spelunky! Will they die a million times? No doubt! Will they rob a shopkeeper without realizing how dangerous it is? I hope so. This is gonna be so great!

EDIT: When Jeff, Brad, and Patrick start multiplayer at ~31 minutes in…I was dying of laughter. Love how much of an asshole Jeff is and how awesome this game seems.

Man, the place they’re filming/podcasting from looks so sketchy…

Watch it to the end of the Year of the Bow song.

Everyone’s favorite gaming website recaps the first day of E3!

EDIT: SO MUCH DUBSTEP! I love it.

Rhythm Heaven Fever is the best game I’ve played on the Wii in a while. So much fun! I keep forcing myself to try and play it slower so it takes longer to finish all the games. Such a great game!

All good things must come to an end, folks, and this is the end for Brono and his crew. It’s been a fun ride on the 2poch.

A pretty neat “Making of” featurette about Rayman: Origins. You really should check it out. I was surprised at how fantastic this game was. It’s really delightful and now I’m anxiously awaiting the next time I can play it multiplayer.

Below is Giant Bomb’s Quick Look of the game with Jeff Gerstmann and Ryan Davis:

Given the opportunity, yes, I will always post a Tim Schafer video. This is his bizarre Kinect game…it’s awesome.
