Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
Ok...It's here. It's almost 2a.m. and I still have work in the morning so I have to keep this VERY brief. If you managed to snag a system day one congrats! I have to say that the people I know that managed to get one reserved at least a month ago. For those that didn't get one: New shipments all week at all major retailers! So don't fret! :)
My console is on WiiConnect24 and is waiting for people to contact me!
Here is my console ID:
0299 0587 2065 7393
Contact me when you can :) I'll send out a couple emails from my system too so if you get one just reply and my console will let me know. Thanks! :)
BTW: Do NOT purchase Red Steel. Didn't remember to get out of the reservation so I'm taking it back tomorrow. It's almost, quite literally, unplayable.

From 60 to Zero in .70 months
Well. It gets better.
*Disclaimer: This isn't your usual gaming/anime/tech post.*
Hey. Well...I've been putting on the best facade I can muster for the last couple weeks. It will be cracking now. Prepare yourself.
Dan is moving to Kansas City. Great for him, bad for me. I'm happy for him I really am, but to lose your best friend in the whole world and an old friend in less than a month is really draining. Like...really draining. Straw that broke the camel's back draining. I know I'm not the first or the only one to go through this so I don't claim monopoly. What I do claim is melodrama. It's all I really have. Oh...right...melodramatically: It's all I have left in the world!! You get the idea and you know what's coming in the following paragraphs. Lucky you!
It's been a long time since I've felt this lonely. I don't like it and I just plain don't understand. I know I'm preaching to the infidels on this one as the majority of the people that read this have already left, but well...it just fucking sucks to be the last one at the party. Ed and Deborah will move within the year, the Friedman's are gone, Moen's outta here, Ted will be moving soon as he finds a new job, etc etc. What's that leave? Me living at my parent's house more depressed than I've been in a decade? What did I do wrong? What? I'm a good person. I'm getting my masters. I've got a well paying job that doesn't suck horribly. I'm overly generous. I'm nice to people. I like who I am. I'm proud of myself. What have I done wrong?!? Didn't grow up? Does growing up really mean moving away? I lived in a foreign country for half a year before some of the people I know even moved out of their parent's house for Christ's sake! I know loneliness and I simply hate it more than anything else. What kind of life is that? No one to share your day with. No one to tell jokes with. No one who understands you. I'm a boring person all by myself. It's the other people in my life that make me interesting. Make me interested. Make me enlightened. Make me intelligent. Make me ME. FUCK!
This is a post being made less than half an hour from the breaking of this camel's back. I still have a lump in my throat. I'm sure I'll be fine tomorrow or the next day. I'm tired physically and tired of having the shit beaten out of me emotionally. But I guess it's my nature to turn this around somehow. How to do that...hmmmm...Oh! How about this: A counselor needs to know and understand a full range of emotions so as to better empathize with their clients. Well holy-fucking-CHECK! With THIS range of emotion I'm sure to be a pretty fucking good counselor. Now if only money or a job or a location could just make me happy. Fuck...

Unexpected Tidings
I just received an unexpected present from a couple friends of mine that will remain nameless. They heard I wasn't doing so hot, threw some shit together and sent me a care package. Totally out of the blue, unasked for, and truly heartwarming for the nerd in me.
On that note here are my friend codes for a couple more games (Thanks guys!!)
Star Fox Command
570 711 529 093
Mario VS. Donkey Kong 2
5412 4897 2779
Club House Games
3350 9054 1921
Let me go ahead and first give my extremely brief and superficial reviews of these games.
Star Fox Command: Pretty fucking hard but damn awesome! Really! and it looks like there's decent replay and online play. Go figure :) Oh! This will officially be the first Star Fox game I have ever played.
Mario VS Donkey Kong 2: This game is almost completely different from the original that came out last year. Actually...there's an even easier way to explain this game: it's Lemmings with Mario, BUT I really liked Lemmings so I'm having trouble putting this game down.
Club House Games: Thought this one was gonna suck so I left if for my last play experience. Guys...no joke...I'm getting a blow job from this game...RIGHT NOW, and it just finished making me waffles. Yes...it's that good. Disclaimer: if you don't like simple board games (chess, checkers etc.) then you won't like this game...however if you do occasionally find yourself playing games like that EVER, walk right out and buy this title right now. No joke. Here's the thing: Bowling, checkers, chess, connect five, Shogi, darts, nine-ball, hearts, poker, Texas hold 'em, blackjack, people...you name it and it's probably in this game. There are over 30 something games (with FULL RULES!!) in this single cart, but that's just not enough to make it awesome...most of them (and I mean all but like 5 or something) are playable online. Have you gone out and bought it yet? Do it.
Mario Hoops 3 on 3: This ended up being the loser of the pack where the winner gets my attention. I have almost exactly the same thing to say that most of the reviewers online (and in print) have been saying. The play mechanics are great and the dribbling and passing and shooting and all that with the stylus feels really good....but the game just needs more meat. The teams were consistently easy to beat, the games felt a little too long especially without the intensity. But the graphics simply look awesome. Again...go figure :)
Ok...this little piss-poor reviewer is done for now. More to come as I'm slowing working my way through Dark Messiah of Might and Magic with glee and I'll be playing the new F.E.A.R. expansion immediately afterwards.
Till next time!

Updates...they just get me off...
That's a theft of a quote from project runway just in case you thought I was REALLY weird.
This is a quick one just because the two biggest names in web browsers just updated this week. Time to update folks! :)
Internet Explorer 7.0
Firefox 2.0
You SHOULD install them both, play with them a bit and then decide which you like better. Personally I'm almost strictly a Firefox man but now that IE has finally updated I won't mind using it every once in a while. I always have them both on my computer just in case :) Anyway...enjoy! Time for bed!

Luigi loves Daisy
What a great name for a pop punk band...hmmm...
I guess that's beside the point. The other day was halloween!! But it wasn't anywhere near as much fun this year as years past. I got dressed up, jumped into my car, drove around in circles for about an hour...then decided to call Ted. He wasn't doing anything so I dragged his ass around town for another hour or so. All told? It's not the same and it's decidedly worse. No offense ted!
Anyway...here are your pictures. I know my costume has been the same for the last 3 years but I've just been busy. At least this year my overalls are mine and not my mom's
(i.e. I can sit down in my car without losing my virginity) and I got my gloves back. Ah! One other note...my chin is fuckin' COLD without hair on it! How do you non-bearded people deal with it??!Funny...after getting the pics posted I realize that I look much happier that I really was that night. I'm an excellent actor! :) Anyway. Enjoy the pics. It's clear I enjoyed taking them at least. Thought I am noticing I have developed a bit of a waddle. :P
