(2/6/12)I actually saw very little of the Super Bowl. I was aiming to watch, but I only saw a few glimpses of the game. Since I had a few friends over, I was instead focused on cooking a non-stop supply of food. I think when given the choice (from what I did see of the game), being in charge of some charcoal cooked burgers is a more enjoyable option than watching a game that looked anything but dramatic until the final 3 minutes of the fourth quarter...of which, I did see the end of the game and it finally started to look interesting at that time. Of course, I find it hard to think I missed a really amazing game. I mean the 12th Man should be a Seahawks (or Texas A&M) thing...not something tied in to the Super Bowl this year. Still, the Giants and Pats both seemed to like the idea. Should a 12 man penalty happen once in the Super Bowl? No. Should it happen, oh, three times? Hell no. This is just an example of not being ready for the big game and letting it show in the worst way. I have to say, of the commercials I saw, nothing really seemed all that epic. Well, not epic enough for a company to throw $3.5 million at NBC to show it. The worst is seeing an ad that was initially released on the internet or even on TV before the game (like the Chevy Camero ad, which I know I saw a couple weeks ago) being released to such an insane price tag. It just makes me sad to know that this is how corporations are spending their money when it would be far better to see some companies just hiring people and battling the recession in a more intelligent way. Anyway, I'm still trying to play through Infamous so I can move on to Infamous 2. However, I keep finding myself not as dedicated to beating the game as I am to doing everything possible. I'm trying to get all blast shards and all dead drops, and trying to get into areas that just entirely baffle me on how I'm supposed to get access (like the jail, the shipping container storage area, etc.) and trying to perform new stunts to just see how cool they look. When it's all said and done, however, I am loving the game. I can't believe I missed it when it first came out, or when I got it for free after the PSN collapse last spring. I mean the only true complaint I have with this game is that there is one single mechanic that makes no sense. Cole is healed by electricity, and his grenade is basically a big blast of pure electricity...so, why do you take damage from your grenades? Malik |
