Xcom:-Enemy-Unknown

http://youtu.be/IDhz_mVcVCQ What a bizarre TV show theme to remake. Just obscure and weird and I loved every second of it. Hilarious. Movies The Avengers - Viewing numero tres. Still really enjoy this movie. Was hoping to make it four viewings, but bedtime for Eric and Danielle came too soon. TV New Girl - They really have no clue what to do with Winston. This most recent episode has Schmidt at his most unbearable too. If they were firing on all four cylinders at the start of this season, they certainly aren’t now. On a far less damning note, Zoeey Deschanel’s character is a billion times better written and realized than when she was just “adorkable”. ...

Ok, this is a day late, but I think that I shouldn’t just spam video posts every day of my Let’s Plays. So I’m just gonna link to the last week of them. If you want to watch them in a more timely fashion, just go to my youtube page and subscribe/watch from there. Ideally I’ll find a widget that I can use instead… So here are all the videos up to today (I think next week I’ll start putting them on Monday or so. ...

From last week’s embarrassment of riches we arrive at this week’s slim pickings. It’s not like there was nothing on, it’s just that I played 39 hours of XCOM this week. So…yeah. Movies The Lucky One - The things one does for love, right? This movie is pretty much a romance novel. Logan walked (WALKED!) from Colorado to Louisiana to woo this girl. He is a whiz with machines, plays piano, reads philosophy, is a marine…what isn’t he? It’s like Nicholas Sparks got lazy. Anyway, we had fun making fun of it at least. ...

Man, remember when I used to write blog posts instead of just posting like a million videos every day? Yeah, me neither. So XCOM: Enemy Unknown finally came out! I’ve been waiting for it forever and it has absolutely met expectations, so here are some things that I think. Things I love: - The palpable sense of dread when you send your soldiers forward. I took like five more turns getting into position than I needed to for one mission just out of fear. ...

Pitch Perfect -0 Thanks to the long weekend this is posting a little later than usual. I also jammed a ton of TV in this week thanks to all that extra time. Movies The Guard - Irish movie about an Irish policeman who is one of those curmudgeonly old man types. Funny, but ultimately not that substantive. Worth seeing if you’ve got a free afternoon. Pitch Perfect - I loved most of the music in this movie and I always enjoy Anna Kendrick on the silver screen. Mostly I found myself impressed by how well she inhabited her role. The other two movies I saw her in, Up in the Air and 50/50, had her in a much more professional, trying to be respected role. Here she’s aged back to 18 and everything about her performance reflects that. Good, fun stuff. Go see it. ...

They’ve chosen not to highlight any of the tactical, turn-based elements of the game in this trailer, but it’s still pretty boss. Can’t wait for October!
