Bought a lot of movies, three XBLA games, and one rental

I bought three movies at Wal-Mart

A double feature that has Navy Seals (never saw it but I am watching it now, it's pretty stupid so far) and Red Dawn (wanted it) for $5. I also bought a four pack of movies with The Curse of King Tuts Tomb, Blackbeard, The Poseidon Adventure, and Merlin's Apprentice for $5, I never saw any of them but I liked the first Merlin, though I doubt this will be anywhere near as good. Yesterday I bought the new Bleach movie that had just come out that day for $20, I wanted season 3 but they have been out and don't know when they will get more.

One of the pawn shops I go to sells movies for 3 for $10 but they also have had a 10 for $20deal for awhile so I bought

Rocky: I never saw it

Hot Shots 1 and 2 (Double Feature): Really like them both, I hadn't watched the first one in awhile but I just watched it last night, I like it more than the second. I already owned the second one by itself so I am going to send it to Jessica.

Good Will Hunting: Never saw it except for a few clips online

The Fountain: Never saw it but remember trailers

The Pianist: Never saw it but I saw it won some academy awards so I thought it should be pretty good

Rescue Dawn: I usually like Christian Bale so I got it, from its rotten tomatoes rating it likes I made a very good choice

A Few Good Men and Jerry Maguire (Double Feature): Never saw either

Dogma: Really like it

The Replacement Killers: Never saw it

Valentine: Crappy horror movie most likely

There were movies I would have gotten instead of The Fountain and Valentine but all were pretty scratched up, the ones I got are all in good condition. After leaving I realized I should have just bought the third season of Red vs Blue instead of Valentime, it is the only season that I already own but I guess I could have sold it for around $10 online.

XBLA Games Bought

Marvel vs Capcom 2

I haven't played it that much yet but I like what I have played, horrible soundtrack.

The Secret of Monkey Island SE

As great as I remember, the first adventure game I ever played.

Penny Arcade Episode 2

I don't have the first but this was on sale so I got it. I have only made a character so far.

Rented

Prototype

For a game where your guy can steal weapons, helicopters, tanks, can shapeshift his body into different weapons, and can consume and become other people this game sure is BORING! There are only two types of battles I found myself in in this game, ones where I was going to kill everyone with no effort and ones where I was going to die over and over and over again until I get lucky. The combat is boring, it never feels fair when you die because all military starts shooting homing missles and all fights with infected/boss battles are stupid and boring. Thereis nothing interesting abut the city and the only thing that changes over time is there are more infected people, military basses, and infected base buildings. None of your powers or combat moves are fun to use, not only because it just isn't fun killing things but because they are just so boring. The story isn't interesting and although consuming people to get information is an interesting way to tell parts of the story it makes for a boring added gameplay element, and most of what you learn is useless. Even if I were to consume all targets I don't want to rewatch every single scene in its poor interface to make sense of some of it. The main story is nothing interesting and some parts of it, like what happens to your sister, are never even told.

FA-FA-FA-FA-FA-FURSSSSSSSSSTTTTT!!!!!!!

Some of those movies are great! Rocky and Dogma are awesome! Marvel VS. Capcom 2 is pretty good, but I haven't really been paying it too much attention myself. It's really zany but I'll play it some more. Monkey Island is one that I'll probably get later on. I have no interest in Penny Arcade though.

You've never seen Rocky? And yeah I bought the The Secret of Monkey Island. It's nice to hear Guybrushes voice again

you never saw rocky

@PJ24 @munchlax99 I've seen the end of one, most of the second one twice, the third, and almost half of the fourth. Nothing of five or six. And I pretty much hate anything with any type of sport in it, so I always avoided Rocky when I was younger, I saw what I did of them more recently.

Navy Seals wasn't too good and Red Dawn wan't either. A Few Good Men though was good.

The Fountain was one of the few movies I gave up on halfway through. It was so convoluted and boring

About Me

I'm currently 19 and live in Texas.-----------------------------------------------------------I have been playing video games since I was three. Some of my favorite games are Baldurs Gate 2, Resident Evil 4, Ogre Battles 64, Jedi Outcast, Fire Emblem 4, 5, and 7, Suikoden 1 and 2, Call of Duty 4, Persona series, Shin Magami Tensei series, Ghost Recon series, Final Fantasy 6, and Final Fantasy 9.----------------------------------------I usually don't enjoy playing video games unless they have a good story or have co-op, although I have somehow still managed to get achievement crazy on my 360. I think some guys at Bungie said it best while describing playing CTF on Halo 2 and you are killed a second before scoring, you hate it but you also love it and when it's over you want to do it again. The only difference is that now, I want to do it again and again and again to get those damn achievements. The same way I try to get all the emblems that I can on Gamespot.-------- I'll pretty much play any type of game but I rarely ever enjoy sports or driving games. I seem to enjoy Third Person Shooters or SRPGs (more like Langris, Super Robot Teisen, and Fire Emblem than Final Fantasy Tactics) the most.
