Here are new variations of my Scott Pilgrim and Expendables reviews, edited and elaborated on. These are the versions that I published in the newspaper. They're a bit different from the original versions that I posted, crisper and more well-written but lacking in some of the humor. I humbly request that, if you're reading this, let me know which versions of the articles you like more in the comments section of this post... this will help me in the future.

Lord of the Rings (SNES)
So like, back in ye olden days of 1995, I played a little SNES game called Lord of the Rings Vol 1. This game is hands-down one of the worst games I've ever played. Still, I went against my own best interests out of blind love (wouldn't be the last time) for the source material and played the hell out of this game. I never finished it, though. I reached the final dungeon, and quit because said final dungeon is ridiculously long and hard, much like Pikachu in the middle of a Naked Sorority Pillow Fight.
So yeah, I totally hit this game up just to finish what I started long ago, and I got some screenshots in the process. First I found a save for the final dungeon, albeit with underpowered characters, and went for it. This game completely sucks, but the final dungeon is quite respectable. It's like the developers put all their energy into the Mines of Moria.
It took me maybe an hour and a half to do the final dungeon and finish the game, using maps extensively. Without maps... my God, that may well be one of the nastiest dungeons in gaming history.
I had to break that hour and a half up into three or so parts over the past couple of days, as I am a very busy man. This time, I was caught up with important stuff like drinking, going to WWF Raw™ at the Boston Garden, and getting other people laid. Lord knows I'm not up for that myself. I don't even know what a vagina is right now, except that they taste vaguely like ketchup.
Real Talk.
