I finally got it out, after being away etc etc.

Yum. It really is cracking. I have several games I need to finish;

Metal Arms - fantastic, why I didn't play this much before I have no idea.
Tales of Symphonia - fantastic, although as an RPG I am lost because I have no idea where to go. I am in the Seaside resort in Teth'alla or whatever the other world is called, and I have done some research about...zircon? and got some from Sybak Facility. Geeks, tell me where I need to go!
Pikmin 2 - fantastic, genius, amazing and horribly sad when I massacre the Pikmin
Metroid Prime 2 - That boost ball boss sucks. Still. I luvs it though.
Freedom Fighters - Second time I've had it, but it rocks

and then I've revisited Twin Snakes (yum), Resi 4 (yumyum) and Zelda (yum). And Mario Sunshine shall be re-completed soon. And Timesplitters 2 got an airing, if only for a few minutes.

So, no new games. But the fact is I haven't played the Cube for about 2 months, what with being away etc, and some games a lot more than that, due to completing them etc. Yay for the Cube, it really is great.

Resi 4 still makes me weep with joy.

Sweet baby Jesus, Twain, you're back! :D


ToS is getting another play through at the moment. Around ten minutes ago I completed Zelda: A link To The Past for, what, the 22nd time? I love that game. :)

Metal Arms suprised me, really. I thought it was going to be terrible, but I got it anyway. Some bits were, erm... "interesting", but overall I found the experience to be worthwhile. Plus, the Rivet Gun actually owns.

Wind Waker keeps staring at me... I might play through that again, as I don't start Uni until October so I have lots of time. :) I'm also considering Mario Sunshine, but the damn music still haunts me. It's been nearly 2 years since I played through it, so I might as well. Though I distinctly remember hating those platformy bits.

Skies of Arcadia is sealed, ready for me to play. Baten Kaitos is nearly finished (I think...) so I can't wait to get stuck into that.

So, erm, yes, I'm going to be fairly busy this summer.

I haven't played my Cube in ages either. I've kind of gone back to played my good old N64, which I will add is the best console ever created!

Oh erm ... hi guys! Remember me?! I haven't been here in a loooooooong time, but not much has changed! Same old faces: Microchips, Tphi, Albino Man, gerrid ...

Now, what was I talking about? ... Oh yeah - been playing Perfect Dark recently and only just found out about RareNet, which I have eagerly joined. I know they work for Microsuck now but my bro wants an Xbox 360 when they come out and I reckon I might actually play it if he gets me the right games (PD Zero, Conker: Live and Reloaded) but of course I'll be getting a Revolution for my personal use. Only a few months ago, I got myself a NES for free off a mate, which has provided hours of fun whenever he's round. The problem is that if you pull on the controllers too hard and cause the console to jerk, it'll really mess up your game!

So, erm, sorry for butting in to this topic. Hello!

I haven't played my Cube for a while now I come to think of it. Last time was when we were all being astounded by our first experiences of Resi 4 a few months ago.

I'll be plugging it back in soon and setting off on my last Wind Waker campaign before The Twilight Princess comes along. This'll be the fourth time I've gone through it, but I'm still damn excited about getting back into it.
