One Million Moms is a moronic, terrorizing, hate group.

A group has recently come to light that goes by the name "One Million Moms". A group made up of a whopping 47k some bored housewives and religious right type that feel protesting is their sole duty. What do they protest? Well, everything they deem not fit. It's a large umbrella for them. 


     "Here's how the One Million Moms Campaign works. We inform you about a particular issue (TV network, sponsor, or station), giving you a link to a "take action" page on the website. You e-mail the responsible party. That's it!"


Their mission statement could be summed up as "We pick something we don't like, then we get you, the unwashed masses, to spam the crap out of them". Well, that's nice of them to sum up all the issues I don't like in one place so I can protest as easily as possible. So, what have they successfully protested and gotten changed so far? Let's look at the causes they've championed in the name of good entertainment and wholesome family values.

Burnout Paradise: Hands On Impressions



So I think I'm ready to rule on this one. In a word: Amazing. I'll have a full review coming soon as apparently a guitar hero update I downloaded today makes my xbox pull up the blade on its own.....randomly. Once I figure this out, I'll get you a review. Right now some hands on impressions. The online is seamless with the main game and that means a lot. In the few matches I've had it takes only a few seconds and someone is in Paradise City with you tearing shit up. The online challenges are a good idea and there is a lot of them to be had, but some of them seem almost impossible if you only have two people (like I did) attempting them as they are evenly split between the players. If you have to do 10 barrel rolls then you go until you get them, with two people it gets done a lot slower then if five to eight people are attempting this at the same time.

As far as the offline goes there is no way to restart a challenge or race once you've begun it. That isn't a huge deal to me, but from the online chatter I've seen it is to some people. You can go anywhere at anytime from the minute you start the game and thats a big feat. Take any challenge in any order and you can roam the city to find which one tickles your fancy on the spot.

Once my xbox stops fueling me with the rage required to throw it from my roof I'll put time into it and post a full review then.

Welcome

Welcome to my blog, in the...uhhh... blogosphere? Well my name is Dan Pisko, I'm a student at Camden County College in Blackwood, NJ. I am majoring in Game Design and enjoy what I do immensely. In this blog I will be posting the bits and pieces of learning game design as a trade and I will also post the occasional preview and review of the "hottest" games, and games that you may have otherwise missed.

See you soon!
