I’ve been really busy, but I figured that right now would be a good time to tell everyone what I have been doing. Two weeks ago my mom started chemotherapy for breast cancer. I was assuming the worst that week but it turned out to be not as bad as I originally thought it would be. My mom was only unable to do anything for like two days, but after that first week she was able to go back to work. Last Friday my mom had her most recent checkup and the doctor said that the cancer is shrinking which is great news.

I didn’t really take the first week well though, at the end of each day I would just be really depressed in my room being unable to sleep because I was so worried about my mom. I know that I really don’t have a reason to worry because they caught the cancer early enough, but it doesn’t seem to help. But don’t worry I’ve gone to the doctor and they gave me some anti-depressants for that. I know they don’t completely solve my problems but they do just enough for me to get through the day without losing my mind.

But enough about that, let me talk about games now. The usual first person shooter hasn’t been doing it for me. So I’ve been going through my game collection and I’ve been going through phases where I will play only my virtual console games on my wii, or I will play a couple of the RPGs that I have for my ps2. I haven’t been able to just go play one game and stick with it. But just recently I’ve been really hooked on a game that I bought a couple of days ago.



I don’t know why I like this game, but I just dig it a lot. I thought I would take a chance on it after seeing the main page post on Destructoid on the price drop. I figured that since I got both Persona 3 and 4 based solely on the fact that I kept reading about them on Destructoid that this game has to be just as good, and god damnit I was on the money about that. I got the last copy at Gamestop too with the plushie. So I would like to thank the people of D-toid for talking about Devil Summoner 2 so much that it ended with me buying it.



I also downloaded Turtles in Time:Reshelled on XBLA. I feel really dumb getting it because I didn’t really enjoy playing it after the one time I completed it. It just doesn’t feel the same compared to the SNES version that I know and love. Oh well, there’s always Splosion Man to keep me busy if I wanna play some XBLA.


Again I would like to thank everyone in the D-toid community for their kind words and recommendations for different games or movies that I should check out. The next game I got coming in the mail this week is a new copy of The Red Star for ps2 so I’m hoping that will be good.
