I'm joining this club. Of course, I don't have much to say about anything at this point. Maybe later.

I bought Metal Slug Advance today.

I came home, took the cartridge out of the box and gently slid it into my barely used NES edition Game Boy Advance. It took me five minutes of playtime to realize that I don't really care about games anymore. This is the second time I've bought a game in a the last few months that I've thought was entertaining for a few minutes and promptly lost all desre to play afterwards ( if you're curious the other one was Advanced Guardian Heroes).

Something is wrong here. Games used to fuel my imagination in ways that only my sexually pervese side could rival. The last game that had me excited in any way was Ikaruga and that was months ago. So it's either the games' fault or my own. I think it's the former, since I know if I had Sonic 1 on me I wouldn't be able to stop playing for days. Or perhaps it's actually the platfrom. Ever since I bought my GBA a year ago not one single game has held my attention for any significant period of time.

Something to examine at greater length one day.

I've played a lot of games that have made me feel that way. It's just a matter of finding the ones that do move you.

You should play Phantasy Star II.

I should play it.

You know, I first became interested in that game two years ago when I read aderack's article. I mean interested enough to buy a genesis and the game from the internet.

I played it for five minutes, thought it was genius and lamented that I did not have an A/V cable to enjoy it properly. I still haven't bought that A/V cable...

Me too.

Except I bought the A/V cable.

I think I'm going to write my next article for this fine publication on it. I already have a lot of things to say.

yeah, no shit. you're a virtual fuckin' torrent, man.

here's a question - why is the signal to noise ratio such fucking crap with games? i can only imagine movies and talk radio being nearly as bad.

Me no understand.

You know, dhex, your new avatar is too big. Also, the staff page updates avatars based upon who made the last post on the staff members' respective topic.

I am suddenly tempted to reply to everyone's posts just so that the front page has images of me splattered all over it.

I might wait till the launch day to do that.

you'll have to forgive me, i've been listening to anal cunt all morning.

there, fixed.

note: what i mean is like, even the shittiest movie ever - say bottle rocket or fight club, for example - had a focus group to tell marketers "we like this, we don't like that" etc. standard deviations abound.

the vg industry doesn't even sink to that level of crapulence.

Fuck your fight club hate.

Anyways, Toups, expect to get a bunch of deleted posts if you post on everyones rambling pages. I may also have Wes remove the images in the staff section.

So I bought another damn game today and it sucks. The game goes by the title of Shaman King: Master of Spirits. If you enjoy the manga, which I do sometimes, then you probably won't like this game. Whereas the two other games I've bought in the last month were just boring ( though I've started to see the beauty of AGH), Shamin King just isn't that intereesting to play. It plays like an avergae SNES platformer done by Konami's Kobe Studio. Which, incidentally, is exactly what the game is.

I just realized what a great quote this is. You should play Rumble Roses.

It is good, isn't it. I just saw it again now.

The reason I'm here now, folks, is to make an important observation: "Hideo Kojima is a creepy, creepy man. Creepy in the high school pederast sense."

http://www.konami.jp/gs/kojima_pro/english/mg_saga/index.html

Click on MG2.

I just watched a video of Kojima speaking about Metal Gear 2, and I was shocked at how creepy it was. I thought that Fort90 of the Insert Credit forums was just being mysterious when he told me, while munching on a cheeseburger, that everyone that's ever met Kojima ( with the exception of Tim Rogers) said that he's one fucked up freak this side of Hard Gay.

I guess it's the interview's fault. It's in a smoky-looking dark room with Kojima wearing a red sweater with Union Jacks stitched into the shoulders, which is already fucked up if you, like me, associate the Union Jack with pedants massacring the "inferior races" and pederastic publick schools. And then there's the way that Kojima looks into the camera like he despises you, yet seems to feel a mounting sexual excitement.

Before I imagined Kojima as an effusive nerd talking about movies and games with an-all-too-nervous pleasure. Now... Stay out of my fucking mind, Hideo. I don't think I ever want to play another one of his games ever again. And, well, I think I understand too much of what went behind the MGS series.

I think I missed something. It seemed fine to me.

Also, it now looks like you can pre-order from EB/GS and get the bonus, but they jacked the price up $10. Bonus my ass, it is $10 for this "free pre-order item." I am such a sucker and going to get it anyways.

Sergei I had a dream this morning that you and I were being driven in a car somewhere and you were in your forties and telling me about this revolution that you experienced in Russia where the entire social order was changed. I asked you if you thought it was still possible to have a similar revolution in America and you said you thought so, then I went into explaining why I didn't think it was possible anymore. I can't really remember the reasons I was giving but you seemed pretty interested in them and outside it was dark like the early morning hours before sunrise and there were all kinds of lights in the sky.

Your dream has made me nostalgic for many things, most of all the spirit of late 2005/ early 2006, when you and I exchanged letters every other day. I'll write you again James; one day.
