well, to give you some idea, i have about 200 pages of new material to cover between now and friday morning for a final plus about 106 pages to read for a quiz that afternoon. Then I cram my brains out all weekend for a skills exam monday morning, and for 2 more finals later than weekend. While doing regular classes in the other class, whose final is on friday of next week, but we're covering new material right up through wednesday (including new/more reading).

The problem with new stuff is that once you can afford to buy it its old, so its really not my fault I mostly just play oldschool games. (Also, there is alot more games coming out so its hard to find the really really good ones)

Fable is the newest game I have for my xbox but I haven't played it 'cause I always end up playing Super Mario World instead.

you know today i thought

you know how if you drop a koopa shell between two pipes, it bounces endlessly between them

what if you built some sort of generator to harness the infinite koopa shell bouncing power, you could probably solve the mushroom kingdom's energy crisis right there (assuming they have one)

i like when games are "old school" in the sense that they 1) rely more on fun gameplay than graphics and/or shock value 2) innovate and come up with new interesting ideas instead of rehashing last year's fps/football/beat'em'up game with better graphcis

so i like "old school" game play regardless of whether it's on the nes or has fancy graphics on a 64 bit console

that make sense to you



(in practice, this means that ms and sony can go fuck themselves because nintendo>alles)

@Johanna: Maybe I should rent Fable, then? Never heard of it actually.

@Erik: I heard that Nintendo DS is largely a piece of crap. What's good about it? Just wondering, I don't know anyone who has it.

it differs from game to game obviously; in mario & luigi, you get a map on the upper screen which is really handy, and sometimes you get to control different characters in different rooms with some guys on the top screen and some on the bottom one (and the lower screen is touch sensitive)

it's difficult to explain but it's a really cool thing to have actually -- people thought nintendo was nuts for doing this but it's more than a gimmick, it feels really natural

Fable is really fun, I played the PC version, it's quite similar to the Xbox version, you should definetly check it out. I like being so evil I grow horns and my own smoke cloud.

Wait, I think I remember this. Did it come out for XBox around November 2004? I remember the salesperson trying to get me to buy it when I bought the XBox

haha You're like a Nintendo die-hard. Do you have N64? I still have mine. I've kept it solely to one day get a copy of Goldeneye and play it until I die.
