Army of Two - Some Tough Shit

With a little delay, we could lay our greedy little hands on Army of Two at last. This much-anticipated title of ours is totally focused on coop-gameplay. However, of course you can play this game in singleplayer-mode as well... but with a KI-buddy, pretty much everything sucks about it. This title is just meant to be played by two people. Well, but was it any good? The answer: Yes, it was pretty damn good! Took us about 9 hours to complete AND we had to switch the difficulty setting from "Mercenary" to "Recruit" towards the end because it's really kinda hard. With never-ending hordes of enemies swarming at you, you will eventually find yourselfs running out of ammo later in the game. Needless to say that this sucks pretty much ass in a shooter. The loads of enemies can get a little repetitive over time... but if you're up for the challenge, try to beat the game in the "Elite" setting and see how far you can get. To sum it up, this is a pretty good game for all of those, who enjoy coop-gameplay as much as we do. Everyone else should probably stay away from it since you won't even get close to unfold it's full potential in the singleplayer-mode.

Wii - Short for "Massive Failure"

So, yesterday we had the chance to borrow a Wii and give it a first real "test drive" since it's release... and boy, what a piece of shit it was. To make this clear: we were never fans of the Wii by any means in the first place (maybe that's why it took us so long to test it) and couldn't get used to the idea of it being a decent console compared to the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, but as the open human beings that we of course are, we wouldn't let our prejudices make the final decision.

Geared up with the Wii, 2 Wiimotes and the recent smash-hit title Super Mario: Galaxy as well as the all-time-classic Wii Sports, we were ready for the ultimate showdown. While Sports was indeed slightly entertaining (eventhough my arm started to hurt after a few minutes due to all the waving around of the Wiimote), Super Mario: Galaxy really took the cake. Yes, it does have co-op gameplay. But this gotta be the lamest thing ever in means of co-op gaming so far. The Wii itself also holds some major flaws. The overall apperance is very cheap compared to the other two consoles. Almost makes it look like a product from the great China. What we also noticed is, that you can't even switch games while having it already running one... which is just "meh". There are some more points that annoyed us about the Wii but simply put: We are definetly not going to buy one anytime soon... definetly!

Geeky Saturday

There are many people who love to go clubbing with friends and stuff on a Saturday night. While this sure is a nice thing once in a while, I wouldn't be able to stand it if I would have to do it every weekend like some fellas do. At least, our idea of a perfectly spent Saturday differs from the standard concept from most people of our age. Then again, we are sort of geeky so no wonder. Anyway, there is nothing better than a Saturday with your fellow geek buddy, haha.

This time around, we decided to go to see a movie in the cinema next to playing Call of Duty 4 on the big screen. We basically had to choose between Hitman and The Mist. Since we are used to rely on the ratings of the IMDb, we went for The Mist due to a better one in the end. Oooh, what a horrible mistake that was! Frankly, this gotta be one of the worst movies ever made. You toughed the Stephen King based film Dreamcatcher was bad?! Wait till you see this one. Daddy and son are driving to the supermarket, there comes the mysterious mist, people are dying, monsters within the mist, more people dying, people eventually go crazy and talk/do shit, the end. That's the movie in a nutshell. Just very unsatisfying to watch. If you don't like people talking trash 90% of the movie and only 10% action, a plot where nothing is properly explained to you (like where the mist is coming from except for some cheap theory) and a super disappointing end, I recommend you to stay away from this one! In addition, we also had a fucking annoying audience with this movie. Most of the seats were empty since everyone was watching I Am Legend I assume... but as few as they were, they annoyed the shit out of us. For example, the guy to my right constantly kept breathing in a very noisy way which made me believe he was about to die or something. He also almost shouted whenever he made a comment to his friend. Then, behind us, there was a girl which crackled with some sort of bag again and again. Best of all, the cellphone of the very same girl rang during the screening and guess what?! She actually answered it. I really got the urge to punch these people at that point... hard.

Well, but besides a crappy movie plus an annoying audience, it was of course a full success on all levels again. Last but not least, I made a short video to give you the chance to get an impression of a typical Saturday with us geeks :)
