John Stones' Paint Trophy

So, fun local multiplayer games for the Wii that aren't Mario Kart, Brawl or Wii Sports? Got some friends over tomorrow and we'll blast through the usual fare pretty quickly so am wondering what else there is. Boom Blox looks fun but I'm not sure how it would go down.

Cheers for any suggestions.

Ringo gets a pass for being awesome in Hard Day's Night. One of my favourite moments in film is Ringo selling the tyre to the leg.

Stone Cold Crazy!

I don't care as long as Baird swears a lot and they keep the "It's a fucking party down here!" line in. Oh, and Cole takes out full squadrons of Locust while talking trash.

Grateful Dead rock and are great fun to play on Rock Band. Steve Miller and Mute Math last week and now a load of new Grateful Dead. Awesome.

Anything that requires you to do a spot with a patrol of guards is just obnoxious. Even with Big Black with you. It's just bodies in the way of everything.

Quite happy with my performance against Whisper but there was some right howlers from my defense in the second half. Beye's random sliced cross-field pass which fell straight to Huntelaar was a highlight. Thank god, I'd brought Given out quickly or it could have gone wrong. I still think it was a case of me getting my tactics right more than anything. I do admit that I let out a little squeal of joy when my first went in though; I very rarely score goals like that and I wish I could have saved it in all truth.

Man, fuck Judas Priest. I am destined to never complete a career on Expert on these games.

I'll probably be on through most of the afternoon with no bother.

Half 5 good for you? I think I accepted your friend request before but there was a few.

I'm up for this. I may as well go with Newcastle considering LCS has nabbed Roma. LCS will probably win too because Roma are fucking amazing.

Tag is Randy For Orton.

If this list is supposed to be half-way serious, I'll bite my cock off.

Yay, more Deep Purple.

And I'd be all over an Orbison track pack. Is there a tracklist for that anywhere?

Man, that opening scene was so brilliant that the rest of the episode couldn't even hope to match up. Still enjoyed it though.

Needs more Slade.

Thought it was alright. It needs to be looser though as their banter on the Australian Gamer podcasts is usually pretty hilarious when they're riffing off each other. On there, they seemed much too scripted and way too focused on the camera. I quite liked the little bit on Adventure games though and when they were doing voice overs, it was much improved.

Martha, My Dear is the best song on the White Album. I'd plump with Michelle from Rubber Soul but I think that's pretty well-known.

Return the game and tell them the problem? They should give you a new one or refund you or something along those lines.

Unless you got it online of course, then I don't know what to do.

That rocks, good sir. It's just a shame that I know nobody to give it to. Or that might be a good thing.

Jesus Christ, it's a game where you shoot big fucking space aliens in the head, ripping their body to shreds in a glorious bloody spectacle. If anyone can do this and still complain about some total non-factor, then we've failed as a race and need a Rapture to come along so we can appreciate manly, awesome fun again.

Arrested Development is the answer to this. Regardless of the fact it ended perfectly.

I love my avatar. I love the party feature as well and it's a life saver if you're playing Gears Wingman or something.

Kanye's ego rocks. He punched a photographer in Newcastle after his gig as well. Music needs more people like him these days.

Autotune or no Autotune, the ten or so tracks that have leaked that are CD quality are amazing stuff. It's a bit jarring at first but as a whole album, it works pretty well as a bit of an experiment. It's probably better than Graduation but not a patch on his first two.

Radiohead. Yuss. The whole thing was like a transcendent experience.

Kanye last night was a whole boat of epicness as well.
