My Fingers Hurt... ...

Tips on how to make ur knuckles hurt like hell:

1.Set up a PlayStation 2

2.Insert a game disc (preferably one of the action genre)

3.Play for 9hrs straight

4.To ensure optimum pain... ...DO NOT release the PlayStation 2 controller under ANY circumstances

My knuckles hurt like hell... ...i started playing my PS 2 at around 3 AM and stopped at around 12 NN... ...not the first time i pulled an all nighter choinging a PS 2 game but this time my knuckles hurt more than usual... ...must be because of the game i was playing... ...

It was a long time since i last touched my PS 2 so at around 3 AM i decided to pull my PS 2 out and start playing... ...But i did not feel like continuing the games that i hav already played halfway as they were getting boring so i went through the games that i hav yet to touch... ...I decided on Ultimate Spider-Man as it seemed like a short game that did not require must time to complete...I was right... ...The game was freaking short...i mean...i started the game this morning and completed it this...morning lah... ...When the credits started rolling i was kinda shocked at how short the game was and how easy the last boss(Venom) was... ...Not counting the retries and aimless web swinging to explore my surroundings... ...i took about 6 hrs to complete the damn game... ...

Besides the unsatisfying length of the game... ...it was an overall okay game... ...i mean...Ultimate Spider-Man is pretty much the same as its predecessors... ...Same old punch kick combos...same old web swinging(all that button mashing for the web swinging and fighting probably contributed to my knuckles' injury).

The Spider-Man series for the PS and PS 2 haven really changed at all over the ages... ...the Spider-Man games have always revolved around fighting random thugs and villains from the comic... ...The web swinging and all that hav stayed pretty much the same too wif the exception of some tweaks wif the graphics... ...but hey... ...if it aint broke...dun fix it... ...

The web swinging for Ultimate Spider-Man is the most "freestyle" i hav encountered so far... ...Spidey in this game is much more maneuverable and he is more graceful...when he lets go of the webbing after a swing...he finishes off wif a somersault not unlike the one one expects him to execute... ...The web swinging of Ultimate Spider-Man is also the most realistic... ...he cant web swing if he is higher then the surrounding buildings...this realism can prove to be problematic at times as Spidey sometimes go splat if he cant web swing in time and smash head first into the concrete pavement.

There are SOME redeeming qualities to the new incarnation of Spidey though... ...such as the fact that u can go rampaging around as VENOM!!! WOOT!!! BEST THING ABOUT THE GAME!!! WOOT!!! Venom in this game is basically invincible as he has an ability that allows him to feed on humans to gain health(Some boss fights do not hav ppl around so as to make the match a little fairer) gay huh?This game is also the Spidey game that has the most epic battles... ...u get to fight Venom as Spider-Man...fight Spider-Man as Venom and fight CARNAGE as Venom!!! HOW COOL IS THAT?!?!?!

There is also FUCKED UP parts of this new game as well... ...such as race mode... ...race mode is a mode that makes Spidey jump though hoops around the city and his main rival to this event is his best super hero friend The Human Torch... ...Which is of course obviously unfair... ...cause The Human Torch can fly and Spidey cant... ...One such match wif the Human Torch took me around 1 1/2 to 2 hrs to win... ...

My knuckles still hurt... ...i am starting to think that this PS 2 choinging lifestyle of mine is unhealthy...but hey... ...No Pain, No Fun right? Right?Besides... ...my knuckles hurting could only mean that i am not well trained enough and all the more i should continue my choinging in hopes that one day i might attain gaming perfection... ...
