Giga Bowser Was Harder
Just now I sat down and blew through all 41 solo event matches in Super Smash Bros. Brawl on normal difficulty, to unlock some stages and music. I gotta say, most of them were pretty boring. Melee had weird matches like the hyper speed dash along the Mute City track but the most creative they got in Brawl was making me KO a couple Yoshis while the Pirate Ship level was in the air. Most were basically just excuses to put me in 1v2 or 1v3 fights.
Event Match 41 was also pretty lame. I'm sure it's more difficult on hard but it only took me five tries to beat it on normal. And I would've had it beaten on my first try if I hadn't gotten screwed by items—I was about to KO the last one when a bomb dropped on our heads and I happened to fly off first. Even on hard I have a feeling it's still going to pale in comparison to Event Match 51 in Melee.
The more I play, the more I realize I only seriously care about a few things in Brawl: 1) unlocking all characters, 2) unlocking all stages, 3) unlocking all music, and 4) unlocking all stage builder parts. And I've already completed 1 and 4. Basically I just want to have everything for multiplayer matches available because that's where the real fun of the game is for me. I doubt I'm going to have the patience to grind through all of the challenges and unlock every single little thing like I did in Melee.
Brawl, Music, and Sweet Pikmin Love
I spent a couple hours yesterday in the My Music options just listening to Smash Bros. Brawl's music and tweaking the likeliness that certain songs will play in the background when a level is selected. SSBB has a crazy amount of music—usually at least four tracks per level—and I'm still unlocking new songs. There are some amazing remixes of old themes, some taken straight from the original games, and even vocal tracks like Pikmin's Ai no Uta.
SSBB - Ai no Uta (Pikmin) Japanese Theme
I've loved this song (maybe a little too much) ever since I first heard it a little after Pikmin's release so of course I cranked its likeliness to play all the way up. The lyrics in romaji and translated English can be found on Chudah's Corner. It's a bit sad, a bit funny, and it describes the life of the Pikmin perfectly.
I'm hoping so much that they'll release the game's soundtrack.

Add me and leave a comment with yours if you'd like to play online together. I hope to start filling up my friend roster with OtakuBoards and theOtaku peoples soon.
Super Metroid 100% Walkthrough
If you haven't checked out the Game Videos link in the introduction, it goes to my YouTube channel where I post video walkthroughs for my favorite games. A lot of them are boss videos, where I show strategies for beating bosses and explain everything in the video description, but my latest project was a full game walkthrough for Super Metroid.

The walkthrough was a lot of fun to make (even if I did go through hell with my PC crashing and burning twice in the process) and I'm really happy with how it turned out so I thought I'd share it again here even though I already posted about it on myOtaku. Unfortunately, embedding playlists doesn't work (consider this a feature request if anyone of importance happens to read this) so I've put up my favorite segment of it and a link to the playlist page. In the video descriptions I wrote up notes to explain the various tips and tricks I use, which are time stamped to match where they're shown in the videos.
In the future I also plan on making posts here whenever I add new videos to my YouTube channel. I'm not sure what my next project will be yet, especially with Super Smash Bros. Brawl releasing tomorrow (it will no doubt devour all of my gaming time for a while to come), but I've been thinking of doing dungeon walkthroughs for a Zelda game next.
Also, if anyone needs help in any of the games I have videos for on my YouTube channel (or any Zelda game for that matter), feel free to post questions either here or there and I'll answer as best I can. I always enjoy helping people out with games.
