So I played a bit of Pop’n this weekend. I realized that I was still fending off my illness a bit all week and into Saturday a bit even. I had completely forgotten that I had changed controllers. Well not really, but mostly.

It is much different to have the buttons flush to the controller. Some things have been made simpler, some not so much. Very quick scales can be BSed better, but I had to change my 2 button hands. By change I mean place them differently as now I was hitting the wood with the button. That does not feel great in case you’re wondering.

So my skill level was quirky for most of my playtime over the weekend (probably only 4 hours total). At the end of it all I did end up getting back to my skills and clearing 2 new songs (Glam Rock – Hyper and something else).

I also watched Sara play quite a bit of Beyond Good & Evil. This game reminds me of Oddworld meets Sierra Adventure games. It is very cinematic and nice.

I watched Minority Report again this weekend. Had not seen it in a while and it was still just as good as it was the first time. The only thing is this time the ending (no spoilers, I don’t think I have ever spoiled a movie for anyone who reads this) was more prominent as being a cop-out. The writer/director/whoever decided that after all the clues and what not that we may not have gotten all the details and been a bit confused still (which you have to be kind of dull to have not put it all together). So they cop-out and have a nice little voiced in (almost voiced over) wrap up. No shit, like I did not figure this out 15 min ago Mr. writer/director/whoever. 3.5 out of 4 stars.

I should get a few hours for Pop’n tonight. I should also be finishing another feature in a little while. I am almost fed up with the site that “hired” me. They can’t seem to get their act off the ground.
