More on No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle

Hello again,

Just a quick correction. In the NMH2 trailer, Travis isn't the one wielding the chainsaw in the trailer like I originally thought, its the henchman he's performing the Suplex on. Looks like the only other weapon Travis is likely to bear are different types of beam sabers. Had to go back and look after reading Gamespot's Interview with Suda51 regarding the game:

GS: Are there more weapons in your arsenal aside from the lightsabers?

Suda: Travis is a good assassin because of his beam katana, so don’t expect any other types of weapons in his arsenal.

The whole Q&A can be read HERE.

Back to work I go.

SO it looks like things are finally moving here at THE SLACKER CHRONCILES. Last week, JD posted TWICE showcasing, in part, what this site is about. In addition to our TV ("Static Prevails") and Music ("Follow the Sound") discussions, we shall also be exploring the worlds of Videogames, films, the internet, and literature. These features are yet to be named, and shall be appearing shortly.

So, how's tricks? Me? S'all good, y'know?. Watched some TV, films, played me some vidyagames, the usual.

...

*Cough*

Anyways with all the niceties out of the way, I should probably move on to something more interesting.

Pretty big week in gaming, as you should know. E3 starts tomorrow, though the Microsoft Press Conference is TODAY (1 June 2009). Supposedly they have this huge megaton announcement, and need extra time. I say its just another publicity stunt. Still I'm cautiously optimistic that there will be something good from the big three, though I expect to be disappointed.

Big thing for me this week was the release of a new trailer for "No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle":

"This isn't a battle anymore; it's a MOTHERFUCKING WAR!"

I love the original game (bought it the first week), so suffice to say, I am overjoyed. I can't wait for a solid NA release date, as well as more gameplay footage. A couple of things I noticed in the trailer that have me like totally stoked:

1) At around 1:20, we catch a glimpse of Travis wielding what appears to be a chainsaw and from 1:30 onwards, we get to see Travis dual wielding lightsabers (sorry, "BEAM KATANAS" :P).

2) SWORD BELT! (Around 1:20)

3) FLYING HOS (0:50)

So, I guess its time to wrap this up for the night. Just a few bullet points before I go, and a teaser for next time (Go ahead roll your eyes at me).

-Just watched both TAKEN and OUTLANDER, enjoyed both, though OUTLANDER dragged a little. Follow the links for plot synopsis courtesy of Wikipedia.

-In the last week, I've watched both the first and second seasons of BURN NOTICE, which I've just noticed has its third season premiere this Thursday, so you can probably expect something out of me regarding that.

-I would be working right now, if it wasn't so damn slow at the moment. Lucky you :P.

-I have completed Mother 3, and am pleasantly surprised.

NEXT TIME ON THE SLACKER CHRONICLES:

I talk about my monthly self videogame challenge, and bring everybody up-to-date on my challenges from March, April, May, and June.

I'll also post anything of interest to me coming out of E3.

G'night!
