What a day, how a night.

Dave Wise does the music for all the Donkey Kong Country games. And while not as famous as most video game composers, his relaxing melodies and rocking beats are a staple in the book report that is known as Donkey Kong Country. After Alex sent me a gabber remix of one of his songs, it reminded me of playing that game. Preparing for the blockbuster tournament, getting killed every five minutes, falling off cliffs... Yes indeed Donkey Kong Country is a game to remember.

Which is why I decided to play one two and three once again. I have defeated one and two in the past, however, number three is still left unconquered. As I loaded up the game a million memories came back, the once amazing graphics, the insane music, and the radical characters! Who is that? Diddy Kong? Check out that red cap! He's jammin'!

Also I'm sorry I have to bring this up, but jammin' reminds me of a video called "Donkey Kong Country Exposed" featuring an overly excitable cliche 90's guy with long hair and backwards cap talking to Ken Lobb and exploring the Nintendo America building.

Now playing this game definitly was the same as I remember. That is until I reached world two, that's when the dreded mind kart level invaded. It starts off pretty easy, but soon you have to deal with split second timing, krocks that will come at you with light speeds, and downed mine karts put there obviously because the developers hate the players. this tradition continued with the next level with it's bouncy kroks and, the bees.

When I was a kid the bees use to scare the shit out of me. They are particularly terrofiing. They are as big as a gorilla, which is all ready pretty huge, and they have spikes all over them. And the noise that it makes when you smash them with a barrel or large frog makes me cringe. Truly they are the stuff made of nightmares.

Anyways, I suggest all of you who have not played Donkey Kong Country or have not played it in a while should. At least until Castle Crashers comes out later this month. I hope to see you all playing that.

Attention all readers:

It's important to realize that the popular "Corbin Sanders" cheats at basket ball.

I have reason to believe that Sanders is an android. According to tournement rules, no androids are allowed in the tournment. This is a clear violation, and Sanders must be destroyed.

In article 6, paragraph 18 of the book of basket-bylaws, it states that and I quote "All androids who play basketball shall be exterminated".

Thus a man hunt is needed, join me, Francis Q. Archman as we hunt down Corbin, and end his cheating ways.

remember:
