Oh, hello. Been a little while since I blogged. I am currently here at San Diego, CA and the weather is
amazing. Wish you guys were here. Bought a game, did stuff, and I found an option of possibly making my
major here.

Anyway, to the topic.

I have expressed a bunch of times about my antipathy about MadWorld, but it is kind of unexplainable being a
big fan of the Wii. But I do have my reasons.


1. Excessive Mindless Violence

I have not been a fan of violent games for a long time of my childhood. It sounds like I am much of a pussy,
but I just never understood the huge blood-thirst in a lot of gamers especially when I was in elementary
school. I do like however some shooters like the classic Doom, Perfect Dark, Half-Life 2 or Team Fortress 2
of course. However MadWorld is plain overkill. You don't shoot someone and dies; instead you crush him in a
rosebush, nail body whole, rip his heart out, decapitate him with the lid of a garbage can or even do all of the
mentioned previously in a sequence to gather a fat score. I just wonder, is that all necessary? I know you are
the one who got trapped by terrorists in first place and gotta defend yourself from a bunch of brutal dummies,
but still doesn't put much of the deal about the gut-ripping rampage in my opinion. No More Heroes, in the
other hand, has blood gushing action, but the reason is that the game doesn't take itself too seriously what
makes it so great and reasonable.


2. Excuse of "hardcore gaming" on the Wii

In fact, the term is an excuse itself. The game is mainly used as a reason that the Wii has good titles but I
don't see the way how a game being gory and violent to be used as an A+ title. What if Ubisoft released a title
made by a lazy-ass developer just full of blood and chainsaw maces (which actually sounds fucking epic). Is
it stopping from being shovelware from the moment it has excessive violence? Does it have material aside?
Not saying MadWorld doesn't, but still...


Of course, I can't skip...


3. Waggle fest.
Self explainatory.


What I DO LIKE about MadWorld is:

The art style of course. The noir-comicbook feeling in it is hard to not notice. Really trapping a Sin City air in it
using black backgrounds with white inking and occasional red tinting to highlight blood. Not to mention the
character design is actually great and wacky like CloverStudio does. Also the setting is actually funny to
grasp, the whole blood-bath tv show thing reminds me of SmashTV.

So there you have it. That was kind of quick... So, yeah. That's why I am not a big fan of MadWorld.

On an unrelated note, try the "Super C Cherry" from Juice it Up! It makes my tastebuds feel like they fucked
a tanned thai-hawaiian super model.
