In honor of the release of the new Knight Rider, we here at TMB decided to come up with a blog series highlighting our own vehicles. Though we’ve always idolized Michael Knight’s K.I.T.T. from the original series, we were kind of offended that NBC looked over our automobiles while casting a new car for the show’s rebirth.
Dejected, we all individually sat down with our cars, handed them a personalized questionnaire, and spoke to them about a variety of topics ranging from current events to, uh, not-so-current events. First up is my very own Fernando: Autopimp 5000.

No other adage can aptly describe this game more perfectly than “It’s the journey and not the destination.” Well there’s “Every rose has its thorn,” and “You give love a bad name,” and finally “Bed of roses” but we’re not going into that right now.
Anyway, let’s get the bottomline out of the way first; this game is awesome, and every person who lives on Earth who has a Wii should get a copy. It’s awesome not because of the story and the the totally extraneous Rosalina subplot; but because of all the different levels / worlds you get to visit on your way to the final boss battle. Also, it’s awesome because it’s awesome.
It’s like the Wii was made for this game and vice versa. But before I get ahead of myself, let’s break it down:
Story / Plot
People shouldn’t even be concerned with the plot of any Mario game because they’re all the same. Bowser wants to take control of the island/ world / universe and he can’t do it without Princess Peach at his side. So it’s up to Mario to save Peach, and in so doing, the island/ world / universe.
Sucks I know, but you really can’t blame Nintendo for not straying too far from a formula which has sold millions. And to be honest, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I saw the Tekken 6 arcade cabinet at Timezone, Megamall. Actually, I didn’t come across it, I had to follow the howls, the jeers and the cheers from the local Tekken mallrats. There was a huge crowd around the machine, but I was able to sneak past em’.
Here are the few things I just noticed off the bat. Wall hit animations are a fraction of a second longer, which means more time to dish out some punishment. This, of course, changes the gameplay a tad- the urgency to stay away from those walls increased ever so slightly.
The stages are, because it’s in HD, much bigger. I’d say you can see 50% more of the stage than the previous titles.
