This thread has been linked to the game 'Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'.
After getting paid today I skipped excitidly down the road, anticipating a nice bank balance. Sure I WILL go into debt by the end of the month but I should still be able to buy myself a new jumper, a few pressies and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.
Or not.
I must have mis-calculated badly because my lovely wedge of cash I expected to have in the bank isn't there. Sure there is money there but after paying Rent and getting that there bus to uni every day there won't be.
I feel cheated somewhat. In fact only earlier this month SR failed to send me Paper Mario 2. Which means, despite there being 3 major, Nintendo published, Gamecube releases since, I haven't had myself a nice sparkly new game since Donkey Konga.
Bumclouds.
Whitestripes may tell me to sell my mother in order to get Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and I would, but sadly no one is willing to meet the reserve of £29.99 on e-bay.
And so I'm tempted to sit on the street with a clipboard, *send just £2 to the poor Dringo fund so he can afford Metroid Prime*... if I get 15 people to sign up that'll be enough.
So if anyone is around Cambridge on friday and see a helpless little fellow near the Grafton centre with a clipboard, please donate kindly. And whilst you play through Paper Mario 2 and begin the wonders of the latest Metroid Game spare a thought for dear old me.
Who can be found in GAME, staring blankly at the game cases... hoping someone will notice and kindly buy it for me.
Here's to the future
The increasingly poor Dringo.
Or not.

You're catching yourself a lucky break.
Prime 2 looks every bit as boring as the first game, maybe even more so as I don't think there's a snow world.

My Paper Mario has also been lost in the post. Bas'
Funny how you seemed to love it when the first was released. :P
Echoes will rock.

I lvoed it at first, technically it blew me away. It was also good fun exploring the areas, specially the snowey bit.
But after a while it dawned on me how boring the whole thing was. I desperatly wanted to like the game, infact I couldn't understand why I didn't, but it all just seemed so damn boring. There was something really missing, like a bit of urgency and excitement for starters.

Poor little Dwingo. By the way, when you say "around Cambridge" and mention uni, do you go to Cambridge?
