Mom Brain goes back to school tomorrow…on the teaching side of things, that is. It’s back to being just me at the warehouse during the day. At least I’ll have you guys to keep me busy while Mom B. is doing her job. I guess this signifies the end of Summer at the warehouse. Man, I’m not ready to see it go! I’m sure I’m not the only one either! Well, there’s really no choice but to push on like usual. I hope you all are doing well, even if you did have to go back to school already! Don’t worry, a break will be here before you know it. I’m taking a break right now for some sleep! See you all in a few, short hours. A real straightforward end of day thought for you guys. I thought it would be one to get some good discussion going. Not to say that there hasn’t been a ton of talk about Metroid: Other M already! So…the first wave of reviews for Metroid: Other M have come and gone. We’ve ridden the wave of highs and lows, and we’ve washed up upon the shores of the North American launch. Some of our European friends are still waiting to go hands-on with the game, so there should be another round of reviews coming. With that said, there has been no shortage of opinions on the game coming from North American outlets, ourselves included. It’s no secret that review scores have been mixed at best. There’s definitely a split on this game, with some reviews skewing towards high 8s and low 9s, while others drop down into the 7 and 6 range. Hard to really peg what’s going on here, but I think it’s clear that some reviewers feel the title was a letdown, while others enjoy the direction that this Team Ninja co-developed game has wandered in. With all that media attention out there from gaming press, where has that left you? Were you going to purchase the game until you read all those reviews? Have the reviews thus far changed you from a definite purchase to a rental? Perhaps the reviews put you off a purchase altogether? I’m sure there are plenty of people that are jumping in anyway, and are still excited for the purchase. Whatever your situation is, we’d like to hear! Leave us a comment and let us know if you grabbed the game or not. If you didn’t, let’s hear why you backed off. I’d especially love to hear if the reviews out there had any influence on you, be that positive or negative. Feel free to let loose with any/all details below!

Excerpt from:
GoNintendo ‘End of Day’ thoughts - Did you pick up Metroid: Other M?
According to information pulled by the EEDAR, it looks like most consumers are looking for game DLC 1 to 3 months after launch. I guess in that time span most consumers have completed what comes boxed with the game, and are looking for some new content and features to expand both single and multiplayer. How long does it take for you to feel that itch for new game content? Link

That new Metroid: Other M trailer is jam-packed full of interesting stuff. I think we need one of those GameTrailers breakdown videos to see all the new and mysterious stuff that is shown off. Make sure you catch that one before you head off to bed! I saw it a few times now, so I’m off to get my sleep! See you in a few, short hours. Oh man, this Kirby cartoon isn’t that good at all. I can’t wait to see just how different the Japanese version is compared to this butchered NA version. I can’t get over some of the decisions made. For example, what the hell is up with King Dedede’s voice? Man, it drives me absolutely nuts! I mean, that’s just a minor quibble in the grand scheme of things, but it’s still a complaint! It just seems like a snowball of bad decisions that running full steam ahead. Perhaps episode 2 is a bit better? Direct link and parts 2, 3 here

Holy crap, 260 shows already? Does that mean something special? We couldn’t really figure that out during the show, but I’d say that it was still a good one. Just ignore the music section, because we absolutely bomb that. Download the show here (and please put that picture to good use!)

Friday my friends…Friday is here. Do you have plans for the weekend? I sure hope so, because you’ve earned the free time! Let’s just get through Friday so we can all enjoy some rest and relaxation. I’m heading off to bed in order to get some energy to power through Friday! See you in a few, short hours. It’s time…it’s finally time. The wonderful ‘bit and run’ series from Cory Godbey has returned! It seemed like it took forever for August to get here, but now we’re ending the work week with a bang. I always liked Fridays better when we had a ‘bit and run’ comic to kick things off! If you missed out on the first volume of ‘bit and run’, you can catch the entire series right here. You want to know what I like most about the first entry in volume 2, other than the fact that the series is back? Oddly enough, it’s the coloring this time around. I think it really, really captures Super Mario Bros. 3. I wouldn’t doubt that Cory put a ton of time into making sure the aesthetics really matched up with the source material. I think we all know from volume 1 that Cory knows what he’s doing! That’s enough blabbering from me. Check out the comic below, leave Cory your comments, and feel free to gush away!

In my opinion, we had a great show this week! We had a very full cast, and we had plenty to talk about. Last week’s show was a bit short due to just wrapping up the trip to North Carolina. This week we almost don’t have enough time to talk about everything on our minds! Download the show here (Stranger is clearly excited about it!)
