About Me

edit

Well, as of 12/7/2008, I have a job with a newspaper....and.....we'll leave it at that.

Two and a half days without a bid on my Wii auction forced me to reconsider selling it. So, I still have it, as well as my Playstation 2, my Xbox and my Nintendo DS here with me in Tarboro, North Carolina. If you all know where this place is, give yourselves a hand for, well, I dunno, knowing where Tarboro, North Carolina is. I don't really know what else to say at the moment, other than I like movies and games, and am married to a wonderful gal named Yanjing.

If ya'll want to take a gander at my library of games (those I'm willing and unwilling to part with to boot), head on over to this link at Gametz.com.

I took down my Wii listing, after not receiving a bid on it over the auction's first two days and 17 hours.

I have one complete Wii-mote, Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Wii Sports and sealed copies of Nights: Journey of Dreams and Zack and Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure.

I figure I was going to get A BID on it, starting out the auction for $129.99, with $13.50 for shipping, but not a one. Not a friggin' one!

So, I'm saying "Screw it, I'll keep the thing" and I'll just save some money up for a Playstation 3.

This a way I can get 120 stars with Luigi, go back through Corruption again and give Zack and Wiki a try. I'll definitely have to check out Mario Kart Wii as well, and it was GREAT to hear about Dragon Quest X getting a Wii release. Maybe things are looking up for the system, with some games for "gamers who are not casual" in 2009.

Note the conspicuous absence of a reference to Nights.....I might hold off on checking that one out. Might just put it on Goozex. I dunno.

But yeah, Dragon Quest X would be good, but EVEN THOUGH Mad World looks pretty darn rad, No More Heroes looked pretty rad too.....and that one didn't work out so hot.

I might have to give Castlevania Judgment a rental just so I can know definitively whether it licks the Big C or if it's got a little somethin' somethin' in it that'll be worth my time.

....and, in the meantime, I'll be playing Order of Ecclesia, and I might just snap back into Super Mario Galaxy and round up the other 57 stars I gotta get with Luigi.

OH, and I might have to play some Super Smash Bros. Brawl sometime too. I wasn't a huge fan of Melee on the Cube, but I'll have to explain that in another blog.....

your thoughts make me tired

MrSadistic

soccer moms everywhere should be ashamed of themselves for not buying off their child's love and affection with this fine man's Nintendo Wii.

raisedmaze

MRSADISTIC, MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!

Tubatic

You played No More Heroes and didn't enjoy it? If you haven't and you're saying "and that one didn't work out so hot. " because of a review, you're doing yourself a disservice. Just sayin'

Also,yes play Zack and Wiki. If you've got nothing else to do.

Tubatic

Oh I see. tedious after hours. ok.

Well whatever.

Qraze

(caps lock) OH NO!

Sometimes I wish I sold my Wii back when they were going for big bucks. I wish I could go back and tell myself "It seems cool now, but you're going to go months without turning it on!"

Between using my local media server, games, PSN, Blueray, watching hulu online and listening to music my PS3 hardly ever gets turned off. In fact we are considering canceling satellite because we never watch it anymore. Unfortunately we still have like 8 months left on our stupid contract. So were just gonna get the cheapest service they offer and wait it out LOL.

Necrozen, I was pretty disappointed in Super Paper Mario and Wario Ware Smooth Moves. That, and I haven't been able to conjure up a crowd regularly to play Wii with. Bowling's been a lot of fun when I have. I'll have to hang onto my Wii for a little while longer though, to see if a new Mario or a new Zelda come out in late 2009. Unless somebody bought all my stuff off me for like, $330, I have no plans to sell my Wii right away.

I'd get a PS3 because there are games on it I really want to play, like Resistance, Metal Gear Solid 4, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, a few others I can't think of off the top of my head....and for its Blu-ray disc player. I'd also download some PSN games, like that Trine game, and that Soldner X shooting game. Wow are those games pretty.
