The controls would be my biggest gripe, as well as camera angles. This is nothing I haven't seen already in a Suda game, especially No More Heroes. The combat can get a bit button-mashy, but that's this type...
What can I say? It's a VERY Suda game. It has all that goodness that often feels like a Quentin Tarantino flick converted to a game, and that's hardly a bad thing. I'm enjoying what I've played so far- and I don't regret buying the game one bit. Pom poms, chainsaws, and zombies have never been so fun. I don't think that's even been done... but hey- Zombies Ate My Neighbors on the SNES had a cheerleader to save and chainsaw enemies! Back me up here... right? Right.

As I figure out how to capture video to show everyone my Terraria world, he is a video of a real life Portal 2 jumpsuit! I am going to try to convince my wife this should be her Halloween costume.
Hmmmmm, I wonder what odds Vegas would give me on that happening? Longshot or 2 to 1?

Recently BioWare released Mass Effect 3 Extended cut and to celebrate released the soundtrack for free. I haven't played any of the Mass Effect's but I dig video game soundtracks so I picked it up. Its superb music and if you like that sort of thing I recommend you get it.

Just got more excited about this game! Kinect voice commands! Now I'll be able to sound like a real QB calling out audibles. Rock on.

I've gone to the Halloween Horror nights for the past two years, and it is SO MUCH FUN! I was actually going to pass on it this year and try one of the other theme parks, but now that they've announced a Silent Hill themed maze I have to check it out. :D
So I’ve been a bit absent from the Cheerful Ghost community for a little while, and it’s largely because I decided to pick up FFXI again. Now that I’m about two weeks into my return to the game I wanted to post some thoughts on how the game has changed since I quit in 2009.
Leveling:
Leveling in FFXI use to be a long process. After soloing yourself to about level 10, you needed a full group (six people) in a balanced party of 1 tank, 1 healer, 1 support, and 3 damage dealers and a good camp to farm higher level monsters (higher levels gave more XP). If you had a good party you could expect to gain a couple levels per night of solid leveling. Holy crap has that changed!...

A few quick Steam Workshop mods to get you started in Skyrim
I'm assuming some of you are playing Skyrim for the first time now, since it was half-off for the Steam Summer Sale. (How over budget are you all, by the way?)
While TES Nexus is still the best place to get mods, Steam Workshop makes it so easy to automatically download them and install them.
If you're in the market for a new house, there are plenty to choose from. My personal favorite is a Dwemer Airship called the Asteria. This player house is beautifully done, very detailed, and has plenty of storage space. My only qualm is the lack of usable bookshelves, but everything else makes up for it. ...

Recently picked up a few games from this years steam sale. The Bethesda pack, Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2 and Terraria. I started Terraria because it was a smaller download than Skyrim or Left for Dead and haven't stopping playing it! Its only $5 during the summer sale and I heartily recommend you get it.
I started out having no idea what I was doing and watched a tutorial video saying I should build a house to survive the night. I did that and survived. Then I built my house underground. Then I created a huge mine. The I started chopping down trees and planting more. Then I realized I could build a stone house/castle in the sky (picture above). Then I wanted to see how...

Valve recently dropped the source film maker on folks and I have been trolling teh intarnet swarm-fest for interesting videos created with it. The above video isn't Source Film Maker creation, but its an awesome mashup of Team Fortress 2 and The Dictator.
That said here are a couple videos I found interesting or amusing:

I just pre-ordered Borderlands 2 for the PS3 at Gamestop with all extra goodies. Radtastic.
This past week was San Diego Comic Con and in typical fashion 2k was around to demo Borderlands 2.
A few morsels:
"It was really the Commando that did it for me, though the Assassin's pretty fantastic as well (more on him momentarily). But the Commando, with his wonderfully helpful turrets and outlandishly explosive upgrades, really won me over."
Go on....
"Having only messed with Roland a bit in the first game, I'll just say that while his turret stuff was neat, Axton (the Commando) is a whole other deal entirely. We were shown characters at levels 25 and 35, so we got to go pretty...

Zombies Ate My Neighbors was rad. Went pretty far into the game once, the castle or UFO part I believe? Never beat it because I never owned it, just rented it a few times. Anyways, sorry couldn't help myself ;)
Lollipop Chainsaw looks interesting. I like the zombies attacking your high school idea. Can you attack with guns or is melee fighting?
I almost feel bad that I am looking forward to this game.
