Disappointed Panda

So quite a disappointing weekend with Penn State losing. It was a pretty bad performance with bad athletic performances and play calling across the board. With the wind as bad as it was, I was expecting some good running plays, but nothing of the sort was in store. I'm hoping we can pick up our emotions and play better next week before finishing up the regular season with Michigan State. If we win the last two, we should be heading to the Rose Bowl. I think that would be a good game against USC, although I still hat the fact that the Rose Bowl is played in California, across the fricking street pretty much from USC. Let's go State.

I also sat down and watched Kung Fu Panda. Quite a fun and enjoyable little family film. It was nothing extraordinary like a Pixar, but it still had it's moments of fun. The fight scenes were the best parts since if was CGI and could get away with a lot more than normal. I wish I would have payed attention to some of the voice work better. It turns out Jackie Chan voiced the monkey. Oh well, I don't remember him saying much anyway. It looked good as always on blu-ray.

Other things I watched included the premiere of the third Naruto movie and the anime block of Adult Swim. I thought the movie was a little slow and lacked much depth or surprises compared to the other movies. It just felt like an extended episode really. The anime block was a nice gesture from Adult Swim. I wonder how long it will stay around before they decide on more schedule changes. It looks semi permanent with all of the episode 1's they were showing. The episode of Code Geass really pulled me back in, even though I missed like the last 8 episodes of the first season. Hopefully it can keep my interest, unlike the last season.

I suppose I'll also give some final thoughts pertaining to LittleBigPlanet. I finished all of the story mode, aceing all but two levels and collecting ~80% of the items would be my guess. I played online some, and explored some of the levels others have made. I doubt I'll make any levels, I would rather play. The game is an absolute blast. I love the simplistic platforming and the intricacies of the levels. They are an engineers dream. I'm sometimes just so amazed at them. Other people's levels can be hit or miss. I've seen planet of bad ones, but a few really amaze me. My favorites seemed to be the ones based on other creations. Like there was one that was replicating Megaman levels and another that replicated Mario and Sonic levels. Still, others recreate entire musical scores which left me awestruck. The online system seems a little confusing. t seems hard to join others and the camera is a little annoying at times, trying to focus on the majority of the players, instead of everyone. Having a lot of players can make things harder, especially with perilous jumps and obstacles. I absolutely love this game, and will be frequenting back to see what other levels people have made. For the time being though, I think I'll move on to other things since my backlog is so huge. Currently I just started Heavenly Sword. So far I'm blown away by the graphics, and the entire thing is like a Summer blockbuster. It's short enough, so It probably won't be long until I have my reactions.
