It's been quite a long while! Nearly 24 hours, in fact. What was to be a short break led to be a very long one when we began to play the *other* game we have out from GameFly: Viewtiful Joe. We missed it when it first came out back in 2003 (was it 2003? Somewhere around there at least) and decided to give it a go. It may have been unwise, considering we're also playing through a game of immense size, so it goes. Things took longer than expected, however, when just the first level alone took us multiple hours! We ran across giant helecopter mini-boss that gave us endless trouble, and as the night came to its close we threw down the collective and metaphorical controller in anger and called it a night. Today we picked it up once more, deciding to go with the game's easier difficulty... "Kids". (Rather than adults.) It was a bit demeaning, though the boss posed to trouble, at least. But this wouldn't do, and soon we were back fighting the dreaded battle at its correct difficulty. We discovered we'd missed a key component (kicking the bullets back at it for those interested) and had little trouble dealing with it with that in mind. We then tore through the rest of the first level and finished, a distinct sense of accomplishment present with the feat.
Another thing that took up a good deal of our time was E3 coverage. We've watched all of the Big Three's press conferences at last and rank them as follows: Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft. It's a pretty common order, for us, anyway. I won't go into great detail, but some of the highlights included Uncharted 3, Nintendo's new machine, the Wii U, and Halo 4's announcement. But enough about new and upcoming games! We have old games to play, and you can't get older than one in the wild west! I'll pretend that makes sense and turn back to the game now. The fortress will soon fall!
