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.
And I'm not gonna bother getting the pearls not really. Don't see the point to be honest.
Although the game did rule.
And I'm no jammy GAD winner.
Talent I call it!
Don't expect any of us to feel sorry for a jammy GAD winner like you!
Especially one who takes 8 months to so much as OPEN Beyond Good and Evil.
Talking of which, doesn't it make it the perfect time to go back and grab those last few pearls! ;-)
I claimed Paper Mario on Monday and it came this morning.
It's fantastic, and I laugh at you fornot having it yet (unless it's arrived, if so, then I'm nmot so happy)

Except... (although not at fist) I loved the original.

Same with my Halo 2. Finally got my money back from Gameplay. Funny that their mag turned up today though..tards.
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.
Echoes will rock.
