I know last week I used a Kunt and the Gang video for GotW, but screw it, I'm using another one. I may use every single one Kunt has. He is that amazing. This is one of the band's newer songs, "Wank Fantasy." You'll find it is highly accomlished and makes for brilliant listening. The perfect party track, if it pleases.
Speaking of wanking, we played videogames this week. As always, you can hit the jump to find out more. So go do that.
Perlee: Ass Creed 2! Plants vs Zombies! Left 4 Dead 2!
DMV: Getting my ass handed to me nine ways from Sunday as I try to get up to a more expert level in BlazBlue. I am so not looking forward to having to learn new characters in Continuum Shift, though ; ;
Gutierrez: I'm doing some serious gaming with my God of War Collection. Reliving every single amazing moment in these two games is such a blast, and all in marvelous HD and 5.1 surround sound. Also, going back and watching all the behind the scene documentaries is pretty great!
Ross:Left 4 Dead 2 has been mostly what I'm playing this week. I tried Resident Evil 5, and the controls were so horrendous I stopped after about an hour. Little bit of Trine, little bit of Torchlight, and I briefly checked out Serious Sam HD.
Cantler: I've been playing Kaiteoboeru Dora Gana on the DS, and Nostalgia, which is taking me fucking forever to get through. A little SFIV here and there, and some Ikaruga to knock the rust off.
Concelmo: Anthony was right: Sam & Max - Season 2 (or Beyond Time & Space since I am playing it on Xbox Live Arcade) is far superior to the first season. I am only on the second episode and am already falling in love with it. The puzzles are so clever it is ridiculous! My favorite so far is the stocking/coal/liar puzzle from Ice Station: Santa. SO GOOD!
Aside from Sam & Max Beyond Time & Space, I have been playing more of the Metroid Prime Trilogy (still so good!), and a little more LEGO Indiana Jones 2. Oh, and is it "LEGO" or "Lego"? I see it different everywhere!
Bennett: Nose currently still buried in Persona PSP. I take small breaks with Yipe! as well, which is an iPhone game based around a vinyl collectible figure. Cool, huh?
Razak: Chad and I have been playing the same game in Metroid Prime Trilogy. It's amazing to me how vividly I remember almost every part of every game. It speaks so much to what an amazing worlds the series has. I'm also hoping to pick up a PS2 at some point soon because my old one broke and Chad's top 50 has made me need to go back and get some games.
Holmes: Been playing a beta of Super Meat Boy for a preview. Took be five days to get it running because my PC is such arse. I don't think it can even run Qwake, which I heard was a really good game actually.
Also played some Bit.trip VOID, Critter Crunch, Animal Crossing: City Folk, New Super Mario Bros Wii, and No More Heroes.
Sterling: Played The Saboteur, which is one of the year's biggest surprises for me, even though people who haven't played it hate me for daring to suggest it might be better than the precious and flawless and brilliant Assassin's Creed 2. However, I doubt my opinion of Avatar: The Game will be quite so controversial, for that is a game, my friends, that cannot be debated. It is fucking poor. Otherwise, more PC fun -- still getting through The Witcher, and kicked it old school with some Quake.
Chester: More Heavy Rain, Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, and other videogames. Maybe.

Just today I bought Beyond Good and Evil, and it's really amusing. Very very well designed!
Counter Strike: Source arrived from the mail, and ironically I enjoy the bonus content of Day of Defeat: Source much more than the intended game. Either way not bad.
I FINALLY beat Mirror's Edge after a long time my graphics card needed the right driver in the final stage. It isn't a fantastic story, but I really loved it. I feel Mirror's Edge is how High Definition should be exercised.
been playing Super Mario bros 3 to see if I can beat it.
Some TF2 and learning more about doing stuff in Garry's Mod.
Totally cheevo-whored out in Trials HD. Now there's a game with some really awesome actual unique achievements, except for the Ultimate Endurance 40g one. Fuck that, broseph.
Far Cry 2 is a pretty damn good game, but like everyone has mentioned the respawning enemy points get old fast, and the missions could be a bit more varied.
Mega Man 9, Rock Band 2, Burnout Paradise. Old, I know, but it's the perfect time of year to finish off unfinished games (except Rock Band 2. I finally beat Won't Get Fooled Again on Expert drums and have since been trying to beat Painkiller and Panic Attack, but failing miserably).
Beat Assassin's Creed 2 simply because I hate hanging stories (Though I guess a bare knuckle brawl with the pope made it somewhat redeemable), then set about doing some versus L4D2 and Rock Band 2. Also got really drunk last night and busted out DJ Hero at a party. That was...eventful.
I keep forgetting that Nick's last name is my first name. I wish I were playing Heavy Rain.
I've been on Street Fighter IV, Killzone 2, and a little KOF XII here and there. I've also been playing some good ole' Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter. It's still my favorite in the Vs. series.
I've been playing "Naia fights the flu while dealing with two weeks of Finals Hell." Since I don't like that game very much I've been trying to focus more on playing Left 4 Dead 2 with people, Layton and the Diabolical Box, and a bit of Gyromancer. SO GOOD!
I finished Prototype. It was a mess of a game because of the lock-on, but it was damn fun fucking shit up. The story was a bit everywhere due to the Web of Intrigue, but it was interesting.
Also started playing Research and Development, the Half-Life 2 mod, and it's VERY GOOD. Getting the energy into the Gravity Gun was so satisfying and I couldn't help but smile when I did.
I beat Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty, and I've spent my (relatively minimal) gaming time this week on Dragon Age: Origins. For all the time I've wanted to play it this week, I've probably only logged about 4 hours on it. Great game, though. Really liking the combat (way more than Mass Effect's).
Spent most of the weekend is awe of the greatness that is Bowser's Inside Story. Never picked up any of the handheld Mario RPGs til now and if they are half as good as this game then I will have to go back and pick up the others.
After finishing Mother 3, I've been wallowing in semi-boredom. Whipped out some MAME on my daily commute. Playing through Strider and Metal Slug 3 again. Still obsessed with Rhythm Heaven. Um... some Super Puzzle Fighter... and played some Rhythm Tengoku today.
Awesome gaming weekend! *Completed Uncharted 2 and Dragon Age, still playing both. *Played some 1 vs 100, which really is a fun time on the live show.*Old New Super Mario on DS, i do love a platformer still *Messed around in The Ballad of Gay Tony, which I have yet to finish. WE MAKIN' ARAB MONEY!
Finished Mirror's Edge, aside from chapter seven almost dragging the entire game down (The first two main areas are a firefight? Why?), it was interesting to try out something different from the other stuff I've played.
And GoW Collection was shipped to me back on Saturday, should be arriving later this week.
Okay, so I just played some 1 Vs. 100 and I just thought I'd mention that my God, that game is addictive. It really shouldn't be as good as it is.
Also decided to play a few songs in Rock Band before I got overwhelmed with thoughts for part 2 of the blog I wrote earlier today. And now I'm just gonna play some good 'ole Sonic 3 and Knuckles to wind down before work this evening.
Been continuing to put off getting on with my life, I managed to finish Overlord. Such a brilliant game set in a very fun world, and while many of your minion deaths are cheap, you always learn something from them and some of the battles leave a real feeling of accomplishment when you win them. :)
Oh right. Also continuing to play GTA: Chinatown Wars, and I finally started Arkham Asylum (such a good game!!). I've been trying but failing to get back into SFIV too, which I have to say is a bit of a bummer.
Also, Jim loves Kunt and the gang more than ELO: CONFIRMED!!

Wank Fantasy is brilliant. Makes me want to be British, just so I could use "wank" in the proper sense.
Playing God of War Collection, Persona on PSP, and finally got Peggle for XBLA. I'm addicted to all three at once.
Sometimes, I fucking hate Rainmeter.
Also I officially hate Chester because he's playing Heavy Rain before.
Far Cry 2 is a pretty damn good game, but like everyone has mentioned the respawning enemy points get old fast, and the missions could be a bit more varied.
Also sniper is way over powered.
I've been on Street Fighter IV, Killzone 2, and a little KOF XII here and there. I've also been playing some good ole' Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter. It's still my favorite in the Vs. series.
Played Modern Warfare 2 and Little Big Planet, they were both ok.
Also, i've been playing a lot of Uncharted 2. It is my favorite game in a long time, its like the great indiana jones game i always hoped for.
It's LEGO, as is the plural.
Also started playing Research and Development, the Half-Life 2 mod, and it's VERY GOOD. Getting the energy into the Gravity Gun was so satisfying and I couldn't help but smile when I did.
And the regular TF2 and Torchlight.
And GoW Collection was shipped to me back on Saturday, should be arriving later this week.
I will be playing ACII and probably will finally just shoot myself but I feel obligated to try it out due all the talk that's been thrown around.
Long story short, it's better than the first game in every conceivable way.
Also, the 360 version of AC I sucks. I recommend trying it on PC if you get the chance.
Also decided to play a few songs in Rock Band before I got overwhelmed with thoughts for part 2 of the blog I wrote earlier today. And now I'm just gonna play some good 'ole Sonic 3 and Knuckles to wind down before work this evening.
Better be. I put off playing Borderlands for it.

For how much that song sucked, it had quite a lot of awesome in it too.
