Yup, much to my surprise, both of the Wal-Marts here in Possumfuck, Arkansas had playable systems in the electronics. Unfortunately, the first one I stopped at had the LCD on the wrong setting, so the pixels were the size of my cock (i.e. - rather large, thick, and meaty), but luckily the other Wally World had everything just Big Natehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14409427327083097315noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5127674.post-1130962081893011772005-11-02T14:00:00.000-06:002005-11-02T14:08:01.903-06:00Well, here we sit, less than 3 weeks away from the Xbox 360 launch... and I'm getting SO fucking hyped up!! However, my crotch-tingling excitement has been tempered by the recent news that Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has been delayed well into '06. This means that Bethesda went from saying it was a launch day title (which they said at X05) to a launch "window" title 2 weeks later on or around Big Natehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14409427327083097315noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5127674.post-1130773292673698972005-10-31T09:36:00.000-06:002005-10-31T09:41:32.683-06:00So I went to see "Saw II" this weekend. Fucking GREAT! It grabs you by the sack right off and doesn't let go. I was so afraid that it would fall into the traps that so many sequels do, but it didn't. It somehow remained fresh and tense, not to mention cringe-inducing. The only criticisms I can think to levy are maybe at some of the "actors". None of them was Cary Elwes bad, but still...

First off, I've pretty much quit WoW. It just got to be a chore to login again, and I swore when that happened I'd quit, so I have. My account is paid up to Jan '06, so maybe I might check things out again, particularly if the Xmas stuff is cool (the Halloween stuff is fab!).There's a lot of games I've been working on lately.

Tatake! Ouendan! Oh man, this game is AWESOME!! This is reason enough to buy a Nintendo DS even if you never planned on buying another game for it, ever. I only got to play about 3 hours of Ouendan last night, but that was enough for me to firmly believe the previous statements.First off, "Osu! Tatake! Ouendan!" translates to "Hey! Fight! Cheersquad!".

I'm slowly working my way through Digital Devil Saga. I'm about 11 hours in now, reaching the top of Coordinate 136 (or whatever it's called). Loving the game so far, but I think I've somewhat gimped by guys out on their Mantra picks, and I've also wasted a ton of time by not placing high stock in the Devour skill early on in the game. Still, I'm making it. Incidentally, Big Natehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14409427327083097315noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5127674.post-1122406838606203202005-07-26T14:32:00.000-05:002005-07-26T14:40:38.610-05:00Once again I've been sucked back into the depths of WoW. I just can't stay away for long, I guess. It helps that I play with a bunch of guys from work. Keeps it interesting, plus it gives us something to talk about during the day.In other news, I picked up a Nintendo DS the other day, due to a great deal Circuit City had. I got Super Mario 64 DS + a case and the system itself, all for the Big Natehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14409427327083097315noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5127674.post-1121713804353925872005-07-18T14:00:00.000-05:002005-07-18T14:10:04.360-05:00Ok, so last night I beat "Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes" for the first time ever. It seems I have a peculiar malady that forces me to purchase unholy amounts of video games, and then never even put them into a console, instead sitting them on the shelf where I stare at them sometimes, thinking, "Fucking hell, I should play that!". Anyhoo, as I said in a previous post, I am making myself Big Natehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14409427327083097315noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5127674.post-1121366999658656092005-07-14T13:39:00.000-05:002005-07-14T13:53:53.443-05:00Wow, has it been since fucking APRIL '04 that I've updated this thing? I wonder why... Oh yeah, cause no one fucking reads it! Oh well, maybe I'll start linking this steaming pile in every post I do on message boards in the hopes that someone, somewhere will stop by and begin to care about what I think.Anyhoo, so I'm finally tired of World of Warcraft. I knew it was bound to happen, but this Big Natehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14409427327083097315noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5127674.post-1081457587087326002004-04-08T15:45:00.000-05:002004-04-08T15:58:13.436-05:00I'm still in the midst of playing through Suikoden 1, but the release of Far Cry has been consuming my time unfortunately. Far Cry is easily the best shooter that has been released in recent months, and is sure to give Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 a small run for their money. I urge any fan of fps's to check it out.
Anyhoo, back to Suikoden 1. I'm only about 5 hours into the game, but already I've Big Natehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14409427327083097315noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5127674.post-1077048088865556632004-02-17T13:50:00.000-06:002004-02-17T14:04:04.530-06:00So I got in Champions of Norrath, complete with the "Babes of Norrath" calendar, and I've been playing away. If you've played Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 1 or 2 you know how relatively easy they are. At least for me, I hardly ever died unless I just did something dumb. Well, CoN is a different beast alltogether. It is actually hard!

If you read any of my posts before, well, they'll gone now. I'm starting over.
Let's see, my current fasination is with collection all of the Japanese rpg's I can on older systems, such as the Sega Saturn. I'm wanting to get Panzer Dragoon Saga, but so far I keep getting outbid at the last second by fanboys on ebay. I'm Big Natehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14409427327083097315noreply@blogger.com0
