Good Idea / Bad Idea: Rock and Rant

August 11, 2008

Welcome to a new feature which blatantly rips off a delightful bit from The Animaniacs and combines my love of bitching and bullet points.  Good Idea / Bad Idea is more of a knee jerk reaction thing than my usually insightful, well reasoned cough cough Reasons for Living.

Good Idea

This SeeqPod playlist of the entire Rockband 2 set lineup.  Time to do do your homework, rockers, it’s only a month away.

Bad Idea

Hey, MGS 4?  Y’know that area on Shadow Moses where I once fought a tank all those yonks ago and just blew away 2 Gekkos with a missile launcher?  Really cool nostalgia and all, but would you please not change the rules of the game in the sequence immediately following?  Don’t make me have to play hide and seek with one in the next room just because you think it might be fun.  It’s not.  Don’t cheat by having the exact same missile inexplicably fire out of my launcher at a 90 degree angle straight into the ceiling.

Oh, and don’t have the next boss be able to track me by smell in a goddamn blizzard.  There is no good way to integrate this “mechanic” into a video game.  Ever.
