Saturday "What’s that fluid coming out of my eye" edition
And now a public service announcement (with guitar): eyes with allergies + contacts + my rubbing said eye is not a good combination. It is not good to feel like you have something on your eye like a spot on your glasses -- but it's on your eye! It's also not good to have the eye dripping various liquids when one of them is blood. Really makes reviewing games and typing hard, but I do it for the throngs of readers here.
Quick notes: 1)While watching VH1 tonight, I saw a preview for EA's game Boogie. I have zero clue what this game is about, I thought it was like karaoake revolution but it says you can use the tools in game to make your own music video! Wow, how Marky Mark Make My Video Sega CD of them. Next, visit the site and have a listen to the soundtrack - Worst. Covers. Ever. It says that some songs were re-recorded by the original groups, but man these are bad. I mean they make some Guitar Hero covers look fantastic. Wow this is bad. I don't think I'd even put the 'sampler' out there. I also don't think that Love Rollercoaster was made popular by RHCP; it was in fact the Ohio Players. Using that same logic, how about "I Got You Babe" as made popular by Beavis & Butt-head. Oh my god, Love Shack sounds horrid. I do a better Fred. Was their budget so bad from Madden they just had to get these losers? Lou Bega was busy? Wow. You have got to listen to this crap for yourself. Click here, if your ears can handle it.
While you're web surfing, make sure to get your bids in on Short Circuit's #5.
Ok, gotta go clean up my eye again.

Hmmm. That doesn’t sound good about Boogie. Surely the covers can’t be any worse than the Rage cover in Guitar Hero 2? That thing was abysmal.
At any rate, I’m supposed to review it, so I’ll hold off on listening to the songs ahead of time, lest they unfavorably color my impressions. Personally, I’ve never heard of the Ohio Players, and know only of RHCP’s cover of that song. I’m thinking that’s the case with most people. Just like how most people don’t know that “Blinded by the Light” is a Springsteen track, because it wasn’t a hit for him.
Sorry to hear about your eyes. I used to have the same problems when I wore contacts so I know how much of a mess it can be. Just be sure to try and keep the contacts clean, because you can develop conjunctivitis as a result of all the goop on your contacts and that’s even more gross. Trust me.
