Non-Gamer Gaming Problems

I don't really like very many video games (okay, mostly I'm just not good at them) so it's very upsetting to me when something interesting comes into existence...but it's not playable on my console (Xbox 360).

For example, Beyond: Two Souls for the PS3

This sounds interesting and playable and voiced by Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe. Why is it only available for PS3??? This is some bullshit right here.

 This article told me there is a thing called Fable Legends coming out that sounded pretty damn awesome...until I found out it was going to be an Xbox One game.

And, fuck my life because Lionhead is not even developing a Fable IV yet (or maybe ever). And everyone knows Fable and Lego games are the only things I can play, because I have the gaming skills of a 5 year old.

Fuck Youuuu!!!

The only bright spot on my gaming horizon is LEGO Marvel Super Heroes!

Although it is still super fucking weird to me that they talk.  

Cover Lover Mix

I was raised by a man who despised covers. So, I was a little biased myself, until I came to the conclusion that not all covers are bad. The artists who do them are paying tribute to a song they like by trying to make it their own. They aren't stealing them out of laziness or spite. Well, probably not most of them. Anyway, these are some of my favorite covers.

1. Hurt - Johnny Cash (much grittier. always gives me chills at the end)
2. Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley (his acoustic version makes it much sadder sounding than the original)
3. Imagine - A Perfect Circle (they made this hopeful little song sound...a little bleak, but in a good way?)
4. Jolene - The White Stripes (nothing special, but I just like it)
5. Naive - Lily Allen (I just love me some Lily...)
6. Starstrukk - Marina & the Diamonds (turns it into a somber, beautiful ballad?)
7. Down with the Sickness - Richard Cheese (from Dawn of the Dead fame...just a little priceless)
8. Black Hole Sun - Paul Anka (the whole Rock Swings album is totes fab)
9. Hot In Herre - Jenny Owen Youngs (basically one of my favorite things of ever)
10. Beat It - Fall Out Boy (love)
11. Another Brick In The Wall - Korn (better than you expect it to be)
12. Working Class Hero - Ozzy (also notable are the Marylin Manson and Cyndi Lauper covers)
13. I Put A Spell On You - She & Him (crazy good)
14. Human Hands - Sondre Lerche (it's just so much easier to understand what Sondre is saying than Costello. also more...whimsical?)
15. My Hero - Paramore (d'awww)
16. Smooth Criminal - 2cellos (instrumental!)
17. Paranoid Android - Weezer (just love Weezer. but they also did a good job on this one)
18. You Really Got a Hold On Me - She & Him (pretty gorgeous. can't get enough)
19. Creep - Amanda Palmer (ukulele!)
20. Just Like A Woman - Jeff Buckley (powerful)


and this is pretty fun...if you love Amanda Fucking Palmer...

Costume Hunting (2013 Edition)

Last Halloween was an epic fail by way of ideas. I scrapped together a Ms. Marvel-esque bunch of bullshit and called it enough. This time I plan on awesomeness. Okay, possibly only awesome to me, but fuck you, who cares what you think! Sorry, got a little over-excited again. Anyway, here are some of my ideas for this year's costume.

1. Mia Wallace (Pulp Fiction)

2. Death (Sandman)

3. Coraline

4. Hit Girl (Kick Ass)

5. Rogue

I am most seriously considering Rogue because my hair is already like hers (for the most part) but that costume is hella fugly. So...I don't know. I only have 20 odd days to get my shit together though, so at least this will give me a start.
