Happy Birthday To Me!

Yeah, so yesterday was my birthday, and I got a thing. Well two things, but only one thing came. So the first thing that came, and only thing was my 4000 Microsoft Points. So far, I have bought only two things. Mega Man 9, and Bionic Commando Rearmed. Mega Man 9: Holy, mother fucking shit. I thought I was good at Mega Man games, well at least the levels themselves.

Yeah, so yesterday was my birthday, and I got a thing. Well two things, but only one thing came.
So the first thing that came, and only thing was my 4000 Microsoft Points. So far, I have bought only two things. Mega Man 9, and Bionic Commando Rearmed.
Mega Man 9: Holy, mother fucking shit. I thought I was good at Mega Man games, well at least the levels themselves. I can always easily get through the levels, but always die at the cheap ass bosses. Biggest example; Concrete Man. Yeah, first, his name sucks.

Yeah... But anyway, he has this stupid concrete blast, that just freezes me, allowing him to take a fourth of my health off. Great game, but god damn frustrating!!!
Now Bionic Commando is the other game that I bought. And well, its just as god damn frustrating as Mega Man 9! The biggest problem that I have with this game is that the controls on the 360 version are terrible. Hitting the exact place where the game expects you to hit with your arm is near impossible at times because of the controls. I have heard that the PS3 controls are better, which is not a surprise, but man, this game just as hard as Mega Man 9, for a worse reason. Anyway, I will also be getting Castle Crashers later today, so if anyone wants to play with me, hit me up. I call the Green Guy.
My second present will be arriving soon, but I ordered it off New Egg on Saturday, and it was not shipped until today. The game is Fable 2, because I really wanted a good RPG, and it looked great. Fallout 3 also looked pretty good, but the biggest problem that I know I will have with it is the combat, which just looks meh. I wish that they some how stuck Oblivion's combat system, but anyway, after seeing multiple reviews, I doubt I will get it. Anyway I am off. I am going to go study for a Biology Test on Photosynthesis and Cell Respiration. Can you say boring? Though I would like to keep my 3.9 GPA where it is. Well, peace Giantbomb, seems like I am rambling.

Note: If Giantbomb had a Sunday morning Cartoon: this would be the theme song.
