Devil May Cry/Devil May Cry 3 SE: Dante’s Awakening (PS2)
Publisher: Capcom/Developer: Capcom
Rating: M/Players: 1
The Devil May Cry franchise has become known for three key things. First off, the very enjoyable gameplay design that spins around stringing together stylish combos. Secondly, the game’s varying difficulty (from straightforward to punishing) leaves plenty of replay and challenges for the novice to experienced gamer. Last but not least, the game’s protagonist, Dante the half-demon bounty hunter, has become a love-or-hate character. His smug attitude, awesome design (despite ripping a page from Vash the Stampede’s design books) and dare I say overexposure (cameos in Shin Megami Tenshi and all 3 Viewtiful Joe excursions on Sony systems come to mind) have made him either likable or disdained. However, in the end the game’s solid execution of platforming, action, RPG and fighting/beat em up elements make both DMC and DMC3 worthy to be on your PS2 game shelf, but both games do have some flaws that are worth pointing out.

Free wireless access at airports is so rare these days that I just had to take the opportunity to post a quick blog. Lots has been going on in my life these days - mostly bad, a little good - and all I can say is that I can’t wait until the calendar turns to September and my schedule goes back to normal.
As of this moment, I am sitting in an airport in Ohio waiting for a flight back home. I was here for work, and the flight was cancelled. I was supposed to head to Atlantic City tonight to catch Tesla, but that ain’t happening. Last week I was in Atlanta because of an unexpected family tragedy (no need to go into details, suffice to say if you smoke I urge you to quit…now!…because dying young is the worst thing ever). Next week I head to Ft. Myers, Florida to spend some more quality time with the family.
And, oh yeah, while I was a way last week my small company got bought by a ginormous multi-billon dollar corporation. Yeesh.
Long story short, it’s been a brutal month of travel and exhaustion. But once Labor Day hits, there’s no more of this crazy schedule and I can get back to a happy groove of working, exercising, and gaming.
On the gaming front, I actually purchased two Maddens this week - one for the PSP (all this traveling!) and one for the 360. I did not get any of the Madden games last year, so I am just making up for lost time. I know, I know, I am an NFL whore, but I love football and EA won’t let anyone else make a game anymore so there’s really no choice. I’ve heard the 360 is not an affront to the world like last year’s rushed and godawful 360 debut was. Man, I hope so.
Since I won’t actually get to play it until September 3rd, I guess there was no reason to buy it, other than I wanted to have it.
Seriously. Total whore for puppets. If one tried to rob me at gun-point– well, it wouldn’t have to because I’d be like, “Hey, here’s some money, you’re RAD.”
Anyway, it seems like we’re on a roll now as far as posting videos goes, and I’m down for anyone that’s making puppet shorts. The following aren’t just regular puppet shorts, though, they feature a character (Fash) made by the same people that did the marionettes for Team America (an American classic, naturally).

All videos ruthlessly kidnapped from Hey Fash.
Seems I’m on a roll for finding hot chicks promoting merchandise. This video segment is probably familiar to a number of you who frequent YouTube or happen to Napster fanatics. For lack of a better name, she’s called “Napster girl”. You can call her what you like (hawt!!! yeah, that works)
