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.

Well I've got 4 shines on Mario so far. Its a good game, not quite upto the level of Mario 64 and stuff but still fun. Haven't got onto Resident Evil yet - just tried out Sonic and I don't think I'll be keeping that. Might take it back and get something like Star Wars: Bounty Hunter.
I got a free official Nintendo mag today with my bag of goods and is it just me or do they seem to rate every game the best thing ever - even the stuff a lot think of as mediocre ?

Yeah, SR finally sent it.
I guess I should rephrase that...
"I got a GC 2 weeks ago Sav, Had Resi back at home"
Anyway, Its one fantastic game, And scary as hell I try to play it in small bursts, That way I don't have to change my boxers every 2 bloody hours! I just had an encounter with a crimson, Bloody Hell they scare the living daylights outta me! I just walk into a room and then the next minute a dead zombie suddenly jumps to his feet.
'Tis excellent I tell you! I'll get Zero once I complete this one, and by god am I looking forward to it!
Oh, And Metroid Prime rules, Played it in GAME yesturday (On a geography trip) in Milton Keynes.
One word, Brillaint.

If you liked it you should seriously get Zero, it's so much better.

I got a GC 2 weeks ago Sav, With Resi.
Excellent little console, Love it, I hope to get metroid when its released.
Mario Sunshine is brilliant, I rented it and its an amazing platformer.
Oh and Untitled is a reject.

Smash Bros is actualy a really good fighting game once you learn the finer points of it.
Plus its multiplayer rocks.

I think Super Smash Bros is a good game to get if you have lots of willing friends you can beat-on at the game.
Plus it's super hard once you get to some of the really high event matches like numbers 48 49 ,50, and 51.
Good going on the wavebird, I've been playing on mine for god knows how long and I'm still on the original batteries! I've had it since christmas and i ususally play using it every time, don't know when they'll run out though and my hose has no spare AA batteries until saturday.

Starfox is akin to slapping yourself in the face with a spiked 2 by 4.

You are a gaming retard.
And you have no ability with neither spelling nor grammar.
