Well one way might be to say something that I'm about to say...
I'm thinking of picking up a GC as soon as tomorrow.
A couple that haven't stopped breathing might now be thinking "why the change of heart ?"
The most obvious reason is that I have flu right now so chances are its the words of a sick bloke ranting.
The other is that I've been laying in bed thinking back to games I played such as Metroid and Zelda and how there are times I'd like to play them again (but of course in they're new forms). Afterall, at the end of the day I am a gamer, not a fanboy and I've grown up with Nintendo games.
I might also look into a Gameboy Advance SP towards the end of the month with some of the classic Snes games that are out or coming out.
If I get a GC, this is what I'm thinking of grabbing...
Black GC
Extra controller (black of course)
Resident Evil
Resident Evil Zero
Mario Sunshine
Advanced scart lead (for best pic and sound quality)
Then of course I'll pick up Metroid Prime and Zelda as they come out. Don't need a memory card as I have the one from when I had the GC before. Anyway, thats the current thing going through my head.
Blame my credit card taunting me while I'm ill for this happening.
Right, well I'm off to ponder more on this and decide on how I'm going to pay for it all if I decide to go shopping tomorrow.

I got to play Wrestlemania X8 today. What a skank pile of smelly camels balls sack of a game it is ! I could grudgingly forgive the jerky "I've just cacked my pants" walk of the wrestlers and stuff, but the way it plays just really stinks.
I've just read the news on this site for Wrestlemania 19 and thankfully its looking to be a lot better. But Christ, for anyone who has been blessed with not encountering this game yet - do not touch Wrestlemania X8, even with a dog poo covered stick !
Back to Metroid Prime and Jurassic Park for me tonight I think.

I find that pokemon battles takes very little skill.
Apart from remembering strengths/weaknesses.

I just replayed Pokemon Stadium 2 with a friend of mine and we both selcted my old favourite gruop of Pokemon which i must have registered before I started a new game. It included a Mewtwo, Typlosion (spelling), red Gyarados (sp), a Tyranitar, Ampharos(sp), and Articuno. Each of them level 100, each of them pumped up to the highest on all 4 of their stats with carbos, proteins, etc, and each of them have had 8 PPups to increase their moves power points, and HPups to increase their Hit points to the max.
I beat my friend with some difficulty, but I knew I could beat him with my old favourites even if he ha the same lot of pokemon as well.

Well I got Streetfighter Alpha 3 through the post this week and again I'm left disappointed at another D-pad. I expected the GBA SP one ot be half decent, but it was pretty cack.
It really annoys me how these multi million/billion pound companies such as Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony can't get a simple thing like a D-pad on a controller right. Nintendo are probably the most guilty in this area as the SNES had an excellent D-pad, so why change it ??
Anyway, moaning aside - I'm doing well on Pokemon Sapphire. I have got 8 badges, beaten the elite 4, become the champion and now I'm training up my pokemon for the league which seems to run on competitions of level 50 and level 100 pokemon. So I have some work ahead. ;-))

Wouldn't that be better than the tape playing?
