So I lost internet access yet again and this time it was for quite a while. Turns out the cable running into the house was dying, but that's been replaced and everything is as it should be. However, I'm thinking that I'm not going to be balls-out-blogging right away and it's because of Grand Theft Auto IV.
But I can live with that. Speaking of, here's an excellent video review from Garnett Lee, Crispin Boyer and Greg Ford of 1UP/EGM:
Then there's GameTrailers' far more clinical, but very informative review:
Also of interest are Kotaku's various articles on GTA IV which sum up various little threads of interest. Something that I can't find anywhere, however, is the game's final soundtrack listing. I've seen various things from Queen, The Smashing Pumpkins, Black Sabbath to VHS or Beta appearing in the game, but until I've got the manual in my hands, I'm not entirely convinced. (And I will be entirely livid if it turns out that Gwen Stefani's Hollaback Girl is in the game)
So, what else have I been up to? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! I watched the first movie, watched the first two seasons of the '80s cartoon series, read a good deal of comic books and am now starting on the totally bodacious TV series from 2003. What can I say? I love bein' a turtle.
To me, TMNT is only bad when it goes sci-fi. Example: the Fugitoid/Triceraton saga from the comics and new TV show. The Turtles belong in New York, dammit! We don't need no stinkin' aliens and laser beams messin' things up. But then that's kind of hypocritical, isn't it? I can buy that there are four mutant turtles and a rat who know ninjitsu, but the idea of an invading army of Triceratops from space pisses me of. But whatever...
Leonardo leads / Donatello does machines
Raphael is cool, but rude / Michelangelo is a party dude
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Turtles in a half-shell / Turtle power!

Apparently people really love TMNT because this is consistently my most viewed article according to Feedburner...
