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.

Mm, the advanved scart thingy. I've heard that they're hardly a difference. So i'd save yourself £15 or whatever and go spend it on drugs... er, GC games officer.

:o)

Well they've picked the right game to achieve that - theres little else that can frustrate to the levels of monkeyball and now that song is just the trigger that tops it all off.

The moment I find myself singing along to that song, I'll shoot myself in the face. Thankfully its restricted to the story mode of the game. Who says you need Resident Evil to get scared in a game.

It's like the shining...perhaps.


Maybe it's a conspiracy, they are trying to drive people to a muderous rage to kill off other consoles owners, therefore reducing competition.

Aha, Universal studios indeed.

Oh, and Lemmiwinks the Gerbil travelling through the Gay Man's insides in South park. That was just wrong, so very wrong...

Indeed, singing monkeys and their cooperation with poo is quite disturbing, but WS brings up a valid point.

Still, there is worse. I just can't think of anything at the moment... ;)

True, but the fact that a kiddy wouldn't be able to get half way through Advanced mode of the original speaks for itself.
