Hey, so, remember that thing that happened…oh, I don’t know…about two weeks ago? It was called Black Friday — yeah, thought that would ring a bell. Well, in any case, you remember it now and that means I can continue on with this blog post!
So per the norm, my friend Erin and I ventured about on Black Friday. I bought lots of things. Lots of things I don’t need, but nonetheless they are things I wanted.
Who am I kidding? These things — I NEEDED ALL OF THEM!!1
::parades around and does a happy dance with all of my new videogames::
Dead Island: I haven’t given Dead Island a fair shake. I mean, it’s a game centered around surviving a zombie apocalypse — which includes surviving against hot zombies in bikinis — and it’s like, I haven’t played enough of this WHY?! Because I didn’t own my own copy, that’s why! But now that I own a copy of Hot Zombie Island perhaps I can do some awesomesauce co-oping with some of you and bash skulls. This bad boy was $9!
Medal of Honor Warfighter: I’ve always been a Medal of Honor fan — my dad and I have some very fond PS1/GameCube co-op memories stemming from these games. So when the series was “spawned” again in 2010 (daayamn, I can’t believe it was that long ago!) I was all over that ish. While it had its faults, I thoroughly enjoyed the game and story (yes, I’m one of those weirdos who plays even FPS games for the story). For $35, one can’t go wrong! (Or so I hope!)
Darksiders II: Um, yeah, hi. It’s Darksiders. ‘Nuff said. $25!
Dishonored: Um, yeah, hi. It’s Dishonored. ‘Nuff said. HA! But for serious, I’ve heard a LOT of “ZOMG THIS GAME IS SO AMAZING I’M GOING TO PLAY IT AT LEAST TWELVE TIMES!”-esque comments coming from a buttload of you, so naturally my curiosity is piqued. It looks like a lovechild between your mom and Bioshock — SOLD! $25!
Super Paper Mario: Paper Mario is one of my all-time favorite games EVAR. That being said, I never, um, finished it. UGH. I just remember having a lot, a LOT of fun with Paper Mario so when I saw Super Paper Mario being sold for $15 I was like, “What the hell! I’ve already dropped $[censored] today, what’s an additional $15?!!” /broke
And those, ladies and gentlemen, are the video games I bought on Black Friday.
But never fear, for the shopping didn’t stop there! Per the Britt-norm I bought a lot of other unnecessary random stuff that I will share with you shortly.
Dishonored is soooooo much fun. Trying to breeze through the rest of the games I bought on Black Friday so I can get back to it. If I continue right now the rest will collect dust.
Hahaha, that’s how I am right now with Enchanted Arms. Well, kind of. Everything else is collecting dust because it’s SUCH a long game.
Seriously dead island gets show much crap but it is SO MUCH FUN! CO-OP and single player, and this is from a chick who HATES CO-OP.
And…when riptide comes out you can upload your past character with all their:
-Level
-Objects (game loot is random drop)
– Mods (also random drop, but really nice for killing zombies)
And you have GotY edition so I think you get Ryder White DLC which is great for the actual story of Dead Island.
SWEET. Good to know! Thanks Alex!
You need to go back and finish Paper Mario right nao! D:
I KNOW!!! I have an itch to play it. And whenever I say I have an “itch” it makes me feel like I’m saying I have an STD. Am I weird?
I loved playing through dishonored. It is more of the dirty dutch love baby of Bioshock and Assasins Creed. I have plans to Cosplay as the main character Corvo at some point. And I cannot believe you didn’t have Dead Island…are you the real Britt? Good job Britt I think this is a good Black Friday haul, and they don’t take up too much shelf space either!
I would’ve advised against the Warfighter, especially with it being the most expensive of the group.
But you might enjoy it, so I hope it pans out in your favor.
