Sorry, but I haven't yet shared the information about myself that would typically display here. Check back later to see if that changes, or if I instead choose to remain an enigma.


Quick MGS: Portable Ops Impression
December 19, 2006

this game is nice. i'm glad they didn't just make a cookie cutter port with a coat of new paint like the GTA PSP games but actually tinkered with the gameplay formula a bit. recruiting enemy soldiers to join big boss' army may get annoying sometimes, but i've grown fond of it. the comic strip cutscenes don't convey the cinematics as well as the real-time cutscenes of the console versions but i've grown fond of it too. finally, the first boss in Portable Ops isn't as lame as The Pain. he's much cooler if you know what i mean. tsk.


twilight Princess Impressions
December 19, 2006

Zelda: Twilight Princess - this game is getting better by the hour. about 9 hours ago, i nearly gave up playing this game. why? the fishing part at the beginning of the game frustated the hell out of me. if the game was more thorough on explaining how to use the rod besides casting it out in the water i wouldn't have been stuck for an hour trying to catch the fish. moving it to get the fish's attention was the hard part, and figuring how to reel on my own was a nice way to end my frustating fishing experience. at times i did wonder how much easier it would be to do this on a Cube controller and i can't imagine how many newcomers to the Zelda series will be put off by this fishing part. finding the way out of the cell after becoming a wolf was also frustating(not as bad as the fishing), bu

Getting the most out of my Wii
November 26, 2006

i come back home after a day of shopping and all of a sudden i see a blue light pulsating from the corner of the pitch black room. it's my Wii and a friend must have sent me something via WiiConnect24. It looks pretty damn cool in the dark. I've been checking on it from time to time, staring hypnotically at my Wii. It's still blinking for the past hour.

My Wii Experience Pt. 2
November 21, 2006

After doing a little window shopping on the Wii shopping channel, it was time to check out the remaining two channels left--Weather and News channel. Those channels are not running yet as my console is currently up to date with all the updates.

I noticed while going back to the Wii Channels that there was a "1" attached to the mail icon on the bottom right of the screen. I thought it was going to be a letter from Nintendo congratulating me on purchasing the Wii. Instead, it turned out to be an activity log detailing my time spent on the Wii. I thought that was kind of nifty.

My Wii Experience pt. 1
November 20, 2006

So I bought my Wii and Zelda last night. I felt like a 7 year old kid all over again. Unpacking the box was such a joy simply because the innards were divided into two trays. Slide tray 1 out, then tray 2--that's it. Everything was layed out in front of me just waiting to be grabbed and with no fuss. Kudos to Nintendo for preparing a well-thought out, and accessible package. If I were to repack it back into the box, I don't think I would have a problem. On the other hand, it was kind of a bitch to repack my GameCube back into it's box to be traded-in.

The Wii Reawakens The Nintendo Fanboy In Me
November 19, 2006

It's been a long time since I have been excited about a Nintendo system, and Nintendo in general. When the Nintendo64 came out a decade ago, my love for Nintendo had reached it's highest point. I got the system on launch day with both games(Super Mario 64 and Pilotwings 64). I was definitely proud to own an N64 that day. It's still the only system I ever bought on day one...that is until I get my Wii later tonight.


the blue beam beckons
November 14, 2006

Just as i walk into the store, moments later a delivery guy brings in this hulking box with Nintendo logo boldly displayed on the front of it. One doesn't need to venture a guess as to what is inside. The asst. manager strips away at the cardboard and i look on with anticipating glee...

The kiosk had arrived at my local EBGames today. Unfortunately I was not able to test it out. The Nintendo rep wasn't going to show up today with the demo disc and controller, so i'll just have to wait another day until i get some hands-on time.
