Ok, first of all, i thought the thanksgiving obsession with the video game channel was just a fad. But, i've been home for almost a week now, and i gotta tell you, this is the greatest channel of all time. i can't get enough of it. it's one of those channels that if nothing else is on you can just flip to and know you will be entertained. after watching 15 minutes of one game, i feel like i've played it myself and gotten all i can out of it.

i made the mistake of thinking i could handle some of these fancy games. so i borrowed medal of honor from my cousin. huge mistake. it's set in world war II and the concept is amazing. but, after 15 minutes of playing i litterally got so naucious that i had to stop. it uses both "sticks" on the game cube controller. one does the movement and the other does the looking/aiming. so you are constantly trying to move both of them if you want to do something simple like go around a corner. if you move w/o looking, all you do is straffe. i think that's stupid (and in fact i THINK you can change it to one stick, but i'm not sure). it made for a lot of dizzying spinning when i was playing.

i gotta say though, i'm seriously thinking putting some effort back into video games. maybe it's time i move away from JUST ea sports games.
