Have I been here before?

This kind of feels like deja vu. I post a few thing, disappear from existance and then reappear to make a post or two and then just vanish again. I have a very good reason for that. It's because I'm lazy/bored/unmotivated. I haven't really been doing anything with my life. I mean unless you call going back to school doing something with my life then i guess I'm doing stuff. Yea that's right. I'm going to school for entrepreneurship. I'm going to be a business man.

Look at me. All business'd up.

Anyway, enough about that junk. Let's talk about games!!! I've actually been playing a lot of playstation games again because nothing on the 360 appeals to me at the mo. I recently went to a few retro game shops near me and picked up a few gems for the ps1. I found Gex the gecko 1 and 3, Spyro the dragon and oddworld. all for like 20 bucks total. Pretty good trip if i do say so myself.  I used to own gex and i rented spyro a lot as a child but my playstation was stolen right out of my house when i was like 12 or 13. It was a sad day for all. But yea, I've never played oddworld or gex 3 so this was an adventure for me. 

     And then i played gex 3. Holy shit was that game just bad. It was just.....ok so Gex 1 was a 2D side scrolling platformer kind of like mario except with a gecko and on drugs. Kind of messed up at times but cohesive and linear and I knew where I was going and, more importantly, what I was doing. I don't know how Gex 2 was but Gex the third was a 3D collection platformer kind of like banjo-kazooie and on drugs...which i guess would make it Conker's Bad Fur Day. Ok so it was more like that game but on drugs. Now the difference between the drugs that Gex 1 and 3 were taking is that 1 was on cocaine. A little strung out but it was determined to get somewhere and showed you an interesting time doing so. Gex 3 opened up the medicine cabinet and said "It's bout to get TRIPPAAYYYY up in here!!" then proceeded to grab five different bottles of prescription drugs and throw that along with some acid, meth and mushrooms into a ninja blender and made a smoothie out of it. 

      Ok so first a little but of back story on Gex for those of you who have not played it. Gex one starts off with our hero Gex talking about how he's got a night planned of sitting and watching mindless television. Until Rez, his enemy? I guess? Seriously, 30 seconds into the game and Gex says his name like we're supposed to know exactly who he is. Whatever, until Rez pulls him through the tv screen and now Gex is trapped inside the world of television. Gex must then travel across the different television genres, find the hidden tv remotes to continue on and try to escape. All the while quoting lines from tv shows, commenting on how his current situation is similar to a show he saw or just making random late 80's early 90's pop culture references. Because those will never stop being funny.

     Now we move on to Gex 3. The objective here (or what I could gather from the 20 minutes I played of it) is to travel to different levels from your home base hub world thing, kind of like Grunty's Tower from Banjo-Kazooie. The first (and only) level I played was a snow level. you jump into the tv thing and you have a mission select thing, kind of like Super Mario 64...you know I'm finding a lot of comparisons to better games just now as I'm typing this.  Anyway the missions range from things like find 4 of  X object or defeat some douchebag or find the hidden tv remote or drive a nail through your foot because you can't take the dry humor or annoying as shit enemies. Now when I say annoying enemies I don't mean like they are hard or anything. I mean that they are they kind of enemies that have been placed there for the sole purpose of making your teeth grind because they won't sit the fuck still or keep making annoying noises. I didn't get much farther because I wanted to shoot myself but that's probably how the rest of the game is going to be. If anyone would like to inform me other wise you can kindly shove a cactus up your own ass and twerk it out. Peace.
