Clanko and Ratcheteer: The Butt-Joke Saga

Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal is purely about exploding shit. Exploding shit with a variety of weapons. However, this variety of weapons is low compared to Going Commando, which brings me to my first complaint.

While each weapon in Going Commando had only two forms, those two forms were drastically different, so leveling the weapons up made you feel like you were accomplishing something. The lava gun turned into the meteor gun. The Sheepinator turned into the black sheepinator, in which the enemy turned into thus promptly exploded. Also, all the weapons felt different. One was a giant ball that exploded into tiny exploding balls. Another was an arc of energy that you could throw enemies around with. In Up Your Arsenal, most the weapons you use the first time through are all guns that shoot bullets (laser bullets).

Supposedly there is an online mode. I tried it once. I died hundreds of times in the course of 30 seconds. It reminded me of Laser Quest: everyone was hopping around like a gay person being shot at by various people that don't like homosexuals. It wasn't fun.

The game's second half becomes quite tough, causing you (a.k.a me) to retry the later missions a dozen times. This is a saving point of the game, however. It is a skillfull type of hard. I was dying because I wasn't up to par after the first half of the game led me to believe it would be a walk in a safe, calm, hoboless park. Without this difficulty, which Going Commando lacked, this game would be little more than an expansion pack.

Actually, it is just an expansion pack, but with worse weapons and stiill with that fucking annoying Captain Quark fucker.

I deduct two letters for quark alone. Another 2 for the less varied weapons. I should take off an entire name for the pun in the title because I hate puns, but I won't. This time.

I give Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal an Adny out of Adny Ksos

World of Warcraft = Waste of Words

For this review, I don't need to use words. Well, I do need to use words, but very few of them. I have already used too many.

The following is a complete account of my gameplay experience in World of Warcraft

¬Chase wild boar looking thing, chase little gnome thing, chase spider thing, press 2 to do lightning attack. Run away from robin hood men, get killed, spend ten minutes hovering to body as ghost.
¬Repeat for 10 hours


In short, I give it a (not available) out of Adny Ksos. That means a 0%. Nothing. No score. It isn't worth a score.

Horrible. Awful. How anybody could enjoy this or any MMORPG more than real life is beyond me. I enjoy scraping a cheese grater across my stomach more than this. I enjoy pressing my thumb against a molten spoon more than this(which i did hours before this review when trying to flatten it with a blowtorch, and in retrospect, that was infinitely more entertaining) .

The pseudo-career begins.

In the near future, I will use my fine-tuned editorial skills to create lengthy opinions on electronic forms of entertainment in word from.
My un-biased and offensive view might include profane words, such as "The ____ is really fucking tough" or "I fucking hate how you can't change weapons with the dpad". My use of profanity makes me sound smarter, and thus a more reliable source.
I will cover everything from Monopoly to Mercury, with dry wit and a dark sense of humo(u)r.


I hate british people.
