RE: Supermarket Mania 2 [Video Game]

I know it’s stupid. I know I’m completely Gump. But I can’t help it that I like this kind of thing. “I yam what I yam,” as Popeye would say.

For the price they’re charging for the digital download, your ass is getting cheated out of some $$$. I don’t care how fun this game is, it’s very short and not a whole lot happens here.

I didn’t really mind the price until I beat the whole game TWICE in one night. That’s when I realized I was a SUCKER. Still, there’s just something about stocking shelves, making people happy, and just basically running your own make believe supermarket chain that you just can’t help loving.

If you want to get this one, you’re better off shelling out for one of those super pack game bundles and getting it on a CD. For like $10 (or less) you can get this game and like 500 others all at one time. Much better deal.

alien movie “Paul”

I am currently watching “Paul,” and while it’s never going to be any kind of a favorite movie, it’s an interesting watch. A lot of silly humor, plenty of geeky references, and Simon Pegg.

It’s just rather unfortunate that they wanted so badly to get that R-rating that they took a PG-13 movie and bumped it up with vulgar language. I mean, I might have let my nephew watch it, but for all the language.

He’s such a nerdy creature that I’m sure he would totally love the movie and appreciate the watching of it more than I have. Except there’s so much bad language that there’s just no way.
