Good news for me. Fringe, The Office, Parks and Rec, Heroes, and Dexter are all back or will be back by the end of the month. New shows like FlashForward, The Vampire Diaries, and Community have all gotten my attention. It looks to be a good autumn with all these good shows.
For me, NBC has the best line up. Parks and Rec, then The Office, and then Community. Parks and Rec isn't as good as The Office (clearly) but that doesn't mean that the show is bad. It's pretty clever. The cold open for the first episode of Season 2 was hilarious. We need more of Amy Poehler singing old rap songs. The show needs some work, but I can't wait until it becomes a big hit like The Office.
What can I say about The Office that hasn't been said? It's funny, clever, and whimsical. It's one of the best shows on television. Now, in it's 6th season, what is left to be done? Pam's pregnant, so we can look forward to a little tuna running around pretty soon. Jim is now co manager of Dunder Mifflin Scranton with Michael, so I bet we can expect those to butt heads a lot. I'm still waiting for them to do some storylines with the new receptionist Erin. We'll see what will happen. The Office is my new favorite show on TV (since Reaper was canceled) so I'm really looking forward to every episode that comes on. PARKOUR! LMAO
Community is DEFINITELY a great show. Joel McHale is excellent and it's a great addition to the Thursday night line-up. Abed and Troy rapping at the end of episode 2 was CLASSIC and I want to see more of those two together.
I've been watching Shuffle! since yesterday and I just finished the show a couple of minutes ago and I was very pleased with the entire series. The first 8 episodes were all funny and cheery, but after that, things started getting very crazy. First, it began with Primula being an artificial lifeform, then Kaede was going crazy, then Sia having an alternate personalty. Those storylines took me through a loop. Then, Rin slits his damn wrist at the end and blood spews everyone. I'm watching like, What the hell has happened to my cutesy anime? Overall though, it was a great anime. I really didn't know who Rin was going to end up with. At first, I was leaning towards Sia because she had the best personalty, but then I jumped towards Kaede because they lived together, BUT after I saw what she was doing to Rin, I jumped 100% towards Asa. I'm glad those two got together at the end. I thought this was going to be one of those animes that leave you hanging and let the watcher decide who the main character got with in the end. It's good to see the protagonist fall in love with the girl he wanted.. I have to find more series like this.

100th Post and I'm the only one who reads this lol
Well, I've been playing some Afro Samurai and Mario/Luigi 3 for the last week. Afro Samurai was a generic hack n slash, nothing really special. The music in that game was AWESOME though. I had to download the whole soundtrack because it was so good, but other than the music, the game failed on several other levels. It was boring and short. I can't see how people can buy these games and be satisfied. That's why I'll continue to be a RPG buff.
I started playing Super Smash Bros Brawl again and I forgot how fun it was. My friend and I like put the damage ratio down and just play with 10 lives on. We have some pretty epic fights when we do. I was playing as Luigi (WeeGee) and he was playing as Zelda (one of our big rivalries we got going on. Three others we got are Game&Watch/Lucas, Snake/Ike, and Marth/Sonic) I (barely) won with the good ole Negative Zone and the WeeGee forward and A.
I'm almost done Mario and Luigi 3. I got 18 hours in it and I have all three Star Cures. I'm glad that this one has a reference to the former Mario and Luigi with those Shroob monsters. Damn, those guys were tough, doing 60 damage a hit. I had to rely on dodging all the attacks, getting excellent on my attack and fill my gauge up so I could do twice amount of the damage. It worked and I got that new attack. I want to try and beat all the arena challenges before I beat the game though.

You know how Jesus turned water into wine?
And how Edge turned the World Heavyweight Title into the WWE Title at No Way Out 2009? Well, I went to Gamestop on Tuesday and traded 11 games in. The biggest two I traded in were Punch-Out and Professor Layton 1 and mainly thanks to those two, I was able to buy Mario and Luigi 3 and reserve Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days. two great looking original RPGs for the DS.
I've been playing Mario and Luigi 3 for about 6 hours and it's an absolute blast. Nintendo did not disappoint with this one. This is one RPG series that knows what it is and how to improve on the areas it has messed up on before. In this one, we get to play as our favorite villian (is this the 3rd title we get to play as Bowser? Super Mario RPG and Super Paper Mario right?) who inhaled both the brothers. So far, I've only gotten to where Bowser just got into his first castle fight. So far, I like playing as Bowser more than playing with the baby bros in Partners in Time. Bowser is uber strong. The best thing about the game for me is the boss battles. I love how Bowser can inhale a smaller part of the boss and then the brothers will fight him. Good stuff. I'm going to play this pretty hard until Kingdom Hearts comes out then three weeks later Nostalgia. This is a pretty good time for RPG fans.

It was bound to happen right?
Well, Cena made Orton quit at Breaking Point and won his 4th WWE Title and overall 6th. Of course, Orton beat Cena within an inch of his life and he still won, but that's Cena gimmick right? Overcome all the odds. Now we have Orton VS Cena in a Hell In A Cell match which should finally end their feud. It's only the 2nd HIAC match in history that doesn't feature Triple H or Undertaker, which is insane. Also, this is Cena's first. This should be a good match and a great feud ender, and I hope these guys go all out.
Legacy shocked the hell out of me with a SUBMISSION victory over DX. Now, in their third match in three months, they face off in a HIAC. DX won their last HIAC against The McMahons and Big Show so they're the favorites. This match should put Legacy over as a top faction on Raw, so I wouldn't be surprised if they won, but also, DiBiase's movie The Marine 2 is coming out so I'm expecting a falling out of The Legacy sooner or later.
CM Punk won because of a screw job at Breaking Point, It's all but confirmed that CM Punk will face Taker in Hell In A Cell, but, with Batista on Smackdown, will he be involved in the match somehow? So much for seeing Orton/Cena/Batista Triple Threat at Survivor Series. So, WWE is going to have three Hell In A Cell matches and NONE of them are going to have blood? (Sigh) I just hope they're all as good as Edge VS Taker at Summerslam 08.

Making up for lost time
Well, thanks to God, I got my Xbox 360 back on Friday. I finally got to play Wanted, Stranglehold, and pick up where I was in Dead Space. I beat Wanted twice in one day. It was WAY too short, but overall, it was a pretty good game. I'm almost done Stranglehold and Dead Space, but I'm trying to hold off so I can send Wanted back and get something else in the mail. I put Fight Night Round 4 on the top of my list. I want to get Batman, but of course, it being a popular game, I won't play it until January lol.
Dead Space is REALLY starting to creep me the hell out. I beat the Leviathan the other day and that thing was probably the SCARIEST boss I ever fought in ANY game hands down. It was so disgusting looking and I was actually scared to fight it. I can't even imagine what the last boss looks like. I don't want to think about it. Anyway, Dead Space is a GREAT new IP and I hope that there are more games from the series and I mean actual sequels or games that have the same gameplay style, not a cool light gun game. I'll probably beat it tomorrow or Friday, but it's definitely a great experience, just like Fallout 3.
Summerslam 2009 was MUCH better than last year's. Dolph Ziggler/Mysterio, DX/Legacy, Cena/Orton, and Punk/Hardy were definitely highlights of the night. Ziggler shouldn't have lost that IC Title match. It was a great back and forth match, but Mysterio shouldn't have won with a top rope hurricanrana or however you spell it. With Morrison winning the IC Title, I hope Ziggler will continue his pursue for the championship and actually win it.
DX VS Legacy was the shocker of the night. I thought that DX was going to squash Legacy, but they really put up a good fight against the veterans. I knew DX was going to win, but it was good to see a back and forth match. It will probably be the best tag team match of this year, unless their match at Breaking Point is better.
Orton VS Cena was the craziest match of the night. I thought going into the match up that Cena was going to win. I mean, why else would they give Cena a title match? When the DQ finish came up, I laughed so hard because it reminded me what he did at NWO 2008, but then the match was restarted. THEN, Orton gets counted out, but the match is restarted. THEN, Orton wins using the ropes, BUT the match is restarted AGAIN. Finally, Orton laid Cena out with a RKO in the ring for the victory. I was on the edge of my seat during the whole match. Between this and their match at SS 07, I think their first one was better, but the SS 09 was still pretty good.
CM Punk VS Hardy was a good TLC match, It didn't have a lot of spots, but it was a good last PPV match for Hardy. I was hoping for a GTS off the ladder through a table, but I was left holding my breath. It's good to see the Undertaker back and I hope that they're feud will be good.
With all this publicity of Taker/HBK, when are they going to have the epic rematch? I would love to see Taker win the World Title and then HBK challenge him at Survivor Series. That would be a great thing to see.
What happened to hard achievements in games? I've had my 360 back for about a week and some change and I've gotten over 3000 GS in over 5 games. I don't think that achievements should unlock for just beating a each mission. For beating a game, yes, but each mission, hell no. Achievements should go for things you go out of the way to do, like kill a certain number of enemies or beat a certain part of the game in a certain amount of time. I think RPGs have the best range for achievements, but of course, I'm biased.
