Okay I'm not Batman, but I've been playing Batman Arkham City since I picked it up on Wednesday. First off, its a massive game. I'm not even close to finishing it. Secondly, it has a ton of references fans will love. So I'm basically star struck with it right now. Rocksteady did an amazing job once again. Story is good, combat is solid (but a little bit repetitive) and gliding through arkham city is super fun. Definitely recommended for lovers of the Bat, or Superheroes in general, or a current Xbox 360, PS3, or PC user.
In other news I now have a twitter... @VivaLaNES if you want to follow... I just got it so I don't know how active I'll be, but a super perk is me being able to sound like Betty White in my head: "the twitters!" (right at the end)
And a sad note, but pretty flipping obvious... the Roughriders are so far out of contention its funny. So any win right now is just trophy points as far as I'm concerned.. its best to play it safe right now and not kill any player's hopes at a further career in football.
It's true, I had a boring week, hopefully something will turn up this week that I can tell you all about.

The Week After
So this is the weekend right after thanksgiving. I'm pretty glad to be back, it seems like going home was just a crazy time and coming back here was the actual vacation. It was awesome to be home for a few days though. That was fun.
Over the last week Portal 2 got a massive DLC release. For those of you who don't know, Portal is a puzzle game made by the company Valve. You shoot one portal on one wall and another portal on a wall all the way across the room and you can go through both portals. It's mind bending at times, especially at three in the morning when really you should be in bed rather than trying to figure out "just one more level."
Anyways, back on track here... the DLC (DownLoadable Content) came out last Wednesday and I unfortunately didn't have my portal 2 disk with me at college. Yay for Thanksgiving weekend! I grabbed it just before I left and played a bit of co-op with my friend over Xbox live.
So all in all I've been doing well. One of the bad things about the long weekends however, is the massive pileup of unfinished work that needed to be done.. I had to stay at the school til 7:30 one night.. and in three days I had 6 quizzes to complete... CRAZY.
That's all for now. See you next week... if I remember.

Thanksgiving Weekend
I know I haven't updated in awhile, and truth be told its not because I've been super busy... I've just been lazy as all get out. So now that I'm home and sleeping in my own bed for a few days I decided to update my blog on time for once.
So its Canadian Thanksgiving on Monday. I've always found American thanksgiving a little weird because its so close to Christmas. I mean... wouldn't you be just putting away the leftover turkey from thanksgiving and then have to crack into another one for Christmas? Turkey overload, no thank you. Canadian thanksgiving is where its at.. not totally freezing yet and you get a nice break from eating Big Bird.
Anyways I've been working on my assignments, all of those seem to be coming along nicely. I'm very used to going to class and being around people now, although I'm not much of a talker when it comes to class conversations. That might be a bad thing because I think there might be a couple extra marks kicking around when you actually participate in discussion. Not like I'm in need of better marks, I'm doing well.
I think after this little vacation is over I'll be set. Now all I need to do is get some awesome clothes from the school bookstore and I'll actually look like a full blown college student when I come back for Christmas break!
For those of you who don't know, I'm a huge fan of comic books...I read them in trades so technically they're called "graphic novels" but whatever I just call them comics. I digress.
A few weeks ago I was searching around on this website and I came across this awesome trailer that some one posted for a comic book movie that people are working on animating. I was so excited I showed a friend that had never even heard of the comic and even she got excited. Its an unfinished project, but I really hope it comes through. I ♥ that series. Its sort of a mix between an old time mobster racket and some supernatural elements. (zombies, warlocks, ghosts, ect) Its super comical, even when it gets a bit dark. It's called The Goon.
Here's the link for the teaser.
