And Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball, Alhambra, Braid and the Penny Arcade adventure game!

Tissue?

Peggle on XBLA? My life would be over.

I plan to fly around the Foundry as a monitor, screaming "Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!" I'm productive like that.

This is outstanding news! I'm going to take a guess, though, and say this update is only for GarageBand included in iLife '08, huh? I'm still on the previous version. So sad...

Be careful if you're ordering more than just two discs with this deal. I tossed four discs into my cart, two priced at $27.95 and two at $19.95. Usually brick and mortar retailers will take the costs into consideration and you'd get one $27.95 disc free and one $19.95 disc free. Not Amazon! They marked off the two $19.95 discs instead.

Easy solution if you've got a multitude of prices in your order is to just do two transactions so you maximize your discount as much as possible.

I've been on the fence about a few XBLA titles. Assuming one of today's new releases doesn't completely blow my mind, looks like EXIT is where the remaining 800 MS points on my account are going, which will be the first time since I added points to my account that I'll be at precisely zero! Hah, take that Aaron Greenberg!

Wow, I didn't realize the writers at Sony Defense Force read Joystiq! Welcome! You guys are great for a daily laugh!

I recognize Raiders is better... but the Last Crusade was a remarkably important moment in my childhood, so I'm going with that one. Aw hell, I love 'em all...

Given the fact that I haven't the time nor inclination to practice sections of songs for hours on end just to get past them, I'm quite pleased. I feel like GH3 just gets way too hard way too fast in the last few tiers of songs, and it's more frustrating than challenging. I get that there are difficulty levels, but the problem is that if I want to play with all five buttons (which I want to do), I'm stuck playing on hard, which just gets ridiculous for my own personal skill level.

Basically what it boils down to is I think Neversoft did a pretty lousy job of balancing the difficulties in a realistic way across the various levels: The difference between Medium and Hard is way more drastic than it is between Hard and Expert.

I trust Harmonix to handle this in typical stupendous fashion.
