C Blogs of 02/25/13 + mcgeeisms

It's good to be back after a week off. Thank you, Phil; you're doing too much. Rest, baby. In my down time, I floated around the internet, and somehow ended up on the Secret Moon Base podcast! It's already up on iTunes, so go subscribe, and listen to me corrode what is usually a good podcast.

I also got some gaming time in here and there. I played the shit out of the Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate demo. Damn I love that game. I think MH Tri was one of the best games of this past gen, which I know some of you have heard before. Now y'all have another chance to enjoy it on 3DS or Wii U with a whole bunch of new stuff. Try out the demo, guys.
I also tried to make some progress in Assassin's Creed 3. I've been going through that one real slow-like. I have pretty mixed feelings about it. Sometimes, I think it's brilliant; sometimes I get bored, or confused. Luckily it feels really good to play. It keeps me going in spots. The naval missions have me coming back for more, too.

Most of the other stuff I want to discuss, I'm sort of trying to put into actual blogs, so It will stay somewhat brief today. I do find the reviews for Tomb Raider very interesting, as I've been pretty positive myself. I like what I heard from previews (pure evil) and they were seemingly spot-on. I had an interesting argument with my brother this morning, though, over the violence. It seemingly gets pretty gruesome in areas. I think it's fine, with the direction they went; being gritty and horrible and rough as shit. Lara takes it out on anyone in her way. He, like some others, thinks it seems a bit out of place and is just there for some extra shock. I look forward to playing, and judging it, myself, and seeing how it shapes up.
