About Me

Prononciation
njsykora is pronounced like this.
en-jay-sik-ora

Yeah it would be easier if it were spelt njsikora but it doesn't look as cool does it?

This wall of text deserves your time, I LOL'd I'm already planning one of these with Jim Sterling Some good can come out of the Soulja Boy/Braid video Brilliam responds to comments on his Gamer Hate musing I like Gamestop hate, as we don't get it in the UK A - We should appreciate the 'golden shower' of games A - YKMG weighs in on the 'golden shower' thing A - After Adam goes at Gamestop, Lightthrower goes at EA A - Wetrix?

Preferably Joystiq F - You seriously think no-one is still looking for GBC games? Would love to do some detailed and long Sykisms like I did last week but its 3am and I'm a little tired right now, plus Cobra's endless know-it-all-ism is draining me of any passion for an IRC discussion. So instead I'm going to say that if anyone out there hasn't picked up Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction yet, go the fuck out and buy it. Also I got an arcade stick for my Wii recently, not sure if I've mentioned this before but I got Star Parodier from the Virtual Console to try it out and damn its so much fun with the stick. I think all consoles should have a Hori stick, if you have a console I highly suggest you get a stick in. MechaMonkey is recapping tomorrow. Goodnight. >NJ
