Hey everyone, just a reminder that there's no comic this week. Been having somewhat of a hard week. On a completely unrelated note, I'm available for work if anyone needs any artwork :). Also, sketch this week hopefully.

So I got Super Paper Mario when it came out, and I'm on the third world. It's really awesome. Even more so given the distinct lack of "killer apps" on the system at the moment. It's a sidescrolling style Mario this time, but with some rpg elements, like levels and abilities. The key is they dont overdo it so you dont have to access the menu all the time during what's really a platformer game. The levels and situations are creative, and the art design is beautiful. Certain things I thought would be odd, like pointing the wiimote at the screen for information, turn out to not ruin the game flow. I do wish there was a single button in-game function i could do to switch characters, kind of rotate through them, but it's not too far away normally that it becomes a gripe. I can't wait to get further in the game to see what some of the later bosses are like. So far theyre really easy, but somewhat interesting in that they fight fairly differently.

I'm bringing up Brave Story now, even though it's quite old, because I just remembered about it. I actually forgot what I was going to say about it already...but anyways its got great animation, good plot, and awesome fight scenes, so go watch it.

I forgot mostly because I saw Hot Fuzz today. Hot Fuzz is a movie from the same guys who made Shaun of the Dead, which if you haven't seen it yet you should do so as soon as possible, even sooner maybe. Anyways Hot Fuzz is completely an action movie, though it's also a parody of them. Great movie for the most part, some weird pacing here and there, and the ending was cool but kind of off I think. Overall, however, it's worth seeing and I highly recommend it.

Next week - Pokemon, no time for console games, and a new comic, finally!
