Back with another monthly report for the activity and happenings here at buttonmashing.com.
June was a lazy month around these parts. Nat was unplugged and I played GTA IV. Nice summer weather was enjoyed and crazy storms were weathered. We had 22 posts with 67 comments. The site also celebrated its fourth anniversary.
Top posts
The following posts garnered the most eyeballs in June (outside of the regulars):
- Customizable NCAA 09 Covers
- Easter Egg in Google Reader

Previously, on buttonmashing
One year ago, among other things, we were talking about Forza 2 for the 360.
Two years ago, I was marveling at the beauty of my brand new DS Lite.
Three years ago it was all about Guild Wars. My, how time and tastes change.
And four years ago? It was Wario Ware time.
Strange Searches
As always, a small sampling of the diverse paths that led people to our humble abode:
“let me show you this spreadsheet because” – oh man, don’t leave me hanging like that!
“360 button mashing techniques” – you mean, other than just… mashing them?
“easy way to get 5 day survivor achievement in dead rising” – There is none! There is only pain.
“eve in wall-e is ticklish” – I saw Wall-E (LOVED IT) but, for the life of me, cannot think of any reason why anyone would ever need to search for this. If you’ve seen the movie, you know the answer. If you haven’t, what train of thought brought this search phrase to your mind? I NEED TO KNOW.
“eve wall-e tickled” – Again, with the tickling and Wall-E!
Games being played
Not much has changed, for me at least. As I near the end of GTA IV (I think), I’m already wondering what might take its place. I also finished Super Mario Galaxy, but with only 70 stars, I still have lots of mileage left on that bad boy. My DS sits mostly unused, except for the occasional NY Times Crossword puzzle.
There you have it, another month come and gone.
Usually, I’m a pretty early adopter for new technologies and what-not. I started blogging before it was really “blogging,” for example. But sometimes I resist new things, usually for no good reason. Services like 
– Maybe it’s time to finally pick this one up.
– The whole “NBA Ballers this year, NBA Street next year” thing never made sense to me. I’ll be skipping NBA Ballers, as I really liked the last version of Street (whatever it was called).
– I wasn’t a huge fan of GTA:San Andreas, but I’m very interested in the next-gen iteration of Grand Theft Auto. I think I’ll pick this one up for sure.
– Baroque? Is this a sequel to Eternal Sonata or something? It’s an Atlus game, which always intrigues me.
– Another intriguing game. I know Okami for the PS2 was well received, so this will be at least a rental for me.
– Another must-buy in the Buttonmashing household. It’s Nintendo and I am powerless to resist.
– Another Pokemon, already?
– And seriously! Can we just make one version of a Pokemon game once? Please?
Forty bucks sure seems pricey for a demo. I’m just saying.
