Cars Is Macho, Oooooh Yeeah!

(I have actually a handful of game blogs drafted, and I will be posting them soon, but before I do, I had to post this...)

Ok, so I admit that being a PS3 trophy whore, means playing a few easy games for easy trophies. With that said, I rented Cars: Race-O-Rama. My son has it on the Wii, and we have played it together and it's actually a really fun game. Plus we both love the movie.

Ok, so last night I am sitting down and knocking a few races out of the way to get closer to my platinum trophy, when up next comes the final Gold race in Autovia. Apparently a new guy is in town and is ready to take Lightning McQueen out! Since I didn't really care much about the cut scenes, I skiped the intro to the race. Glad I did, because that meant what I was about to hear was going to be a great big huge delightful surprise!

So I am starting the race, and I have to beat the new guy in town... El Machismo.... swear to god that's his name. Here's the Trophy:

So anyways, he starts to pass me, and in this game all racers will taunt you. He is no different. So this is what he actually says to me:

"I am El Machismo, and I am Macho, Yeeeeeah!", "I am number 1, and I will taaake You DOWN, YEAH!"

Ahem....... Holy Shit? Was That,....... did he just say.........

LMAO!!!!!!!!

Oh fuck I couldn't stop laughing. I just got a dose of the Macho Man Randy Savage in my Cars game. I confirmed it on IMDB. It's him. And after all why shouldn't it be him? I mean, Machismo is spanish for Macho after all. :)

So needless to say he was pretty tough, plus it kept making me laugh so damn hard I lost the race my first few tries. But I finally put the smackdown on Macho. I will end up replaying the level again too at some point just to hear him again. He is so damn funny!

Below are the Intro and Outro movies for the 'El Machismo' part of the game.  These are good also, but his best lines happen during the race.

Game On!

7 Games Down!

I usually set a goal for myself to beat, complete, or master a certain amount of games in a year. While I didn't exactly do that this year (concentrating on Trophies instead), I have already completed 7 games so far this year. It's only February!

I guess, it depends on one's definition of beating a game though. So here are my 7, and I will break each one down with a little snippet of my thoughts on it.

Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse - Episode 2: The Tomb of Sammun-Mak

Technically I beat the first game in this 5 game series right at the end of 2010 (December 28th to be exact), but we have to stick with 2011 for this. I completed the whole 'episode' and obtained all trophies for this game. I say game, because while all TellTale games are done in 5 part episodes, each episode is it's own self contained game. At least in the case of Sam & Max (and Strongbad). This game is 100% beat & completed. :)

Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse - Episode 3: They Stole Max's Brain!

This really is a great, fun, and hilarious series! Also easy trophies! This game is 100% beat & completed. :)

SBCG4AP Episode 1: Homestar Ruiner

Another 5 part series from TellTale games. I actually beat this on the Wii a long time ago, but getting the whole 5 game set on the PSN with trophy support for $15 was too good to pass up (versus $50 for the whole set on Wii). Plus I absolutely LOVE all things Homestarrunner! Always have, and this is a great fucking series! And again easy trophies. :)  This game is 100% beat & completed. :)

SBCG4AP Episode 2: Strong Badia the Free

Part 2, same as the first. Easy trophies. This game is 100% beat & completed. :)

SBCG4AP Episode 3: Baddest of the Bands

Part 3, same as the first 2 games in the series. Easy trophies. This game is 100% beat & completed. :)

SBCG4AP Episode 4: Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective

Part 4 of the series. Had to play this one 3 times to get the trophies. With that said.... Sort of Easy trophies. This game is 100% beat, completed, AND MASTERED! :)

Digger HD

Normally a $10 game on the PSN, it was offered to PSN+ Users for free. Can't pass that up! Quite a fun game really. A nice combo of Dig Dug, and Boulder Dash. I sat an beat all 60 levels of the Arcade mode. Nabbed a few trophies in the process. However I can only say this game is beaten. With the remaining trophies, and the other game modes, this game is far from 'complete'. So again, just beaten. :)



So now it is my goal to obviously complete the remainder of the TellTale games, and that still leaves quite a few. I have one more SBCG4AP, two more Sam & Max, not to mention 4 of the Tales of Monkey Island and the five BTTF games due out this Spring/Summer. For TellTale that means I still have 12 games to beat this year! I think last year I set a goal of 20 games for myself. I have a feeling this will be the year I get that, and most likely go beyond it. :)

Have a great day guys and gals, and GAME ON!
