I love the Gametrailers Retrospectives. They do a great job of summing up great games. This episode is all about the WoW games.

I know it’s not Monday and that today should be a WMQ post, but I didn’t watch any sports last week and I’d have a really tough time trying to rationalize fighting off the Zombie Apocalypse as a sport, even though it damn well should be, so instead we’re gonna watch the opening cinematic to Left 4 Dead.
It looks great, like a movie I’d watch. The game also features a some of the great in-game storytelling that Valve is so famous for. I’ll have more impressions for you tomorrow and hopefully stick to a more regular posting schedule, work’s got me falling behind.

Gametrailers is at it again with not one, but two retrospectives this week. With Fallout 3 and Wrath of the Lich King coming out soon (Fallout 3 a lot sooner), they’ve put out their one part Fallout retrospective and part one of what I’m guessing to be a three or four part Warcraft retrospective. Enjoy!

Mega Man 9 is HARD.
People say, “That’s the idea. It’s supposed to be Retro like the days when games were tough.” Let me tell you a secret about the old Mega Man games: they were NOT this hard. Aside from Quick Man (the magma plumes were mad cheap), I could more or less reliably kill almost all of the Mega Man 2 bosses. At this point, I’ve still only killed Galaxy Man and Concrete Man. Funny thing about that is that both of those Robot Masters are more or less the easiest in the game. As hard as maybe this video looks, this is an easy stage.
The real point I’m trying to make here is that while MM has always been hard, it was never as insidiously hard as this game is. There are enemies who jump up specifically over gaps, as you see, enemies who pop out of nowhere to grab you and drag you into spikes, and tough enemies with hard pattern recognition required to defeat them. It’s abuse to play, but it’s so fun.

A good friend of mine was inspired to create this video based on a song by one of my favorite bands and featured in ne of my favorite TV shows, Flight of the Conchords. Enjoy the well done animation:

It’s slightly old news, but three teaser trailers have been released for one of my more anticipated games, Deathspank. Described as Diablo meets Monkey Island, this new game by Monkey Island series creator Ron Gilbert should hopefully not disappoint. It’s already got a pretty funny set of trailers…

One of my absolute favorite comedians, Mitch Hedberg is about to come out with a new, posthumous album later on this month (09/09). Having just found out about this today, I must say that I’m absolutely delighted. Mitch was an amazing comedian, able to see joy and laughter in the mundane and seemingly ordinary. We will always miss his comedy.
Be sure to go grab “Do You Believe In Gosh?” later on this month when it comes out, it contains what’s probably the last recordings of a comedic legend.
