LEGO Batman
Wednesday, 28 July 2010 12:44Hey, I finished all the levels! This opened up a bonus round called "Wayne Manor" that requires me to find a million studs in as little time as possible. I have yet to find more than 950,000. There's a secret to it, I'm sure, but I have yet to find it. To me, the game is DONE. I am sad to no longer have it to play. Maybe I should play it again? Hm.
There is now a copy of LEGO Indiana Jones in my Wii. Sure, the Harry Potter game is out, but it's fifty fucking dollars -- I can wait until the price comes down. When it comes down to it, I am a cheap-ass gamer and rarely find it necessary to own a game the day it comes out. I might make an exception for Just Dance 2, but that's it. Even Epic Mickey can wait.
I've been out of the City of Heroes loop for a while because NCSoft discontinued its 30-day prepaid cards a few months ago. This was upsetting, because I liked the idea of paying for a month of time, then it expires instead of continually billing my credit card for a game I may or may not be playing. This weekend I found that the cards are available again (at GameStop), but in 60-day increments. I don't want 60-days, I want 30. Allow me to sit on my gamer girl butt and pout for a bit here. It doesn't matter that it's a better deal ($10 more for 30 extra days) because it's only a better deal if I actually want what's offered.
Okay, done ranting about that. In fact, skip reading that paragraph. It's a cookie dough rant* anyway.
*I'll have to explain this label in another post because there's a story behind it. Suffice to say a "cookie dough rant" is a complaint about something that is too ridiculous to be taken seriously in the first place.
