I was very proud of myself yesterday, went into a local game shop to talk to the manager... anyways, he wasn't working yesterday so I had a quick go on the XBox.

Not very impressed with any of the games, actually, they looked good, but felt/handled extremely *insert swear word*.
Anyways, I was playing that norm snowboarding game, cannot be bothered with the name, infact it was that good I forget its name... opps.

I managed to pull off a huge trick, and actually was doing very well, a crowd of about eight people had gathered around me... (nice). Anyways, another huge jump, the cosole froze and powered itself down...

.. the guy behind me said, 'not worth 300'. I then boasted the GameCubes price and potential and line up of games to the five people gathered and they all became extremely interested.

It was absolutely brilliant.. as for the XBox. Its a completely unimpressive console.

BRING IT METROID AND GC.

"Microsoft must think people with small hands don't exist"

Hmmm, well I've got reasonably large hands, and I find it really crappy too. I think it's just a bad design.

I've got a lump on my right hand, between my thumb and index finger. Little sisty type thing. Tried to have it removed but it kept popping back in. Quite funny.

But anyway, it makes it a bagger to hold things properly, but comfortable things feel REALLY comfortable when I find them. There were two things that feel really comfortable... and while the one that I'm sure all you witty Jim Davidson standins are thinking of isn't TOO uncomfortable... the two things are my tennis racket, and the Gamecube controller. Somehow they apply the right sort of pressure to my lump, and it's just so comfortable.

*cough*
