A new Peas page is up a day early with one of my favorite pea puns. Enjoy
new psp and my thoughts on gaming now.

Been fooling around with my new PSP lite. Im pretty pleased so far. Haven’t had the chance to use the TV out yet since Im going to get those cables on Tuesday but everything is pretty shiny. The PSP like the DS just seems more fluid for me than the home consoles. I guess it’s a lot about the time you have to spend gaming. Just this morning I put in Darkstalkers and blew through the arcade mode in twenty minutes. It was fun, short and I won’t mind doing it again. Better than fifty odd hours blasting repetivite gangsters on a home console for sure. It seems most of my enjoyment is nostalgia driven as my list for psp games are basically all collections of eighties games and loco roco. And Im not even participating in the thriving homebrew scene for the PSP. And then on Xbox I basically just play the arcade games from my youth. Like Worms which was fine when it was on a 100 SNES and has no reason to need the power of the 400 360 Im playing it on now minus being online. Should Game companies be worried that more and more ‘casual’ games take up our time? You could go Nintendo’s route and go mini game crazy but that might be taking it to far. I havent hit the power button on my Wii since March when I finished Super Paper Mario. That probably makes all of you scrounging to get one pretty mad. I love the Wii but refuse to play what’s being released for it at the moment. With success hopefully there will still be some hardcore games coming our way. They don’t have to be epic, just not made for four year olds. Don’t get me wrong. There’s still great original games coming out. Bioshock just last week blew me away and Im gearing up for Eternal Sonata. We just need a little more freshness. And a little less rehash. O.k. Done ranting. Anyone want to play Worms?

Game Audio.

Playing through Bioshock, I’m amazed at the amount of detail being etched into these imaginary worlds. As good as the graphics are and the big daddy’s scare, where Bioshock really succeeds is in the audio department. When you hear a lady screaming down the hall, or a moan from around the corner it really sends chills up your spine. That and the jazz that comes on randomly throughout just amps the tension to 11. Im only about six hours in, and from what I’ve heard Im close to one of the major twists in the game. So far I’m not just looking at the game of the year, but also the Oscars for sound design and cinematography. It’s too bad Hollywood would only butcher this adaptation.

What a cover.
September movies.


Only two movies Ill venture out for this month. Lots of stuff out there but Im not going to be able to go to much this month. Next weekend 3.10 to Yuma comes out. One it’s a western and two it has Russell Crowe and Christian Bale. Should be intense. Then two weeks later Milla comes calling in what Im sure will be a bad movie, but one must learn these mistakes on our own.
Cable monsters.
I got cable! Well almost. they will be turning on the basic package today. I can watch BSG and college football from the comfort of my own couch hopefully starting tonight. The only scary thing is it really screwed up my internet for a couple of hours last night. I really hate cable prices. The day I buy a house, the ole satellite dish is going up right away.
