004 :: Fast Friday Thoughts

filed:9/30/2005 by GM

Game Boy Micro - I might have been sleeping a lot due to being sick.. But the Game Boy Micro just came out of nowhere. It could also be because I don't really care much for Nintendo. It's not that they're not good at what they do. It's actually the opposite. Nintendo is so completely stable, there's no point in me tracking the company because I'll have nothing to complain about. If I had the attention span for portable gaming and didn't have a DS, I'd totally get a Micro.

Japanese Togetherness - SquareEnix acquired Taito. Bandai and Namco officially merged. Sega Sammy? Playmore or SNK? I'm so confused. Stop it!! >:/

Walk of Gay - For a year or something, at the Metreon while walking around the second floor you'd see all this crap on the ground. Around the Metreon they have been promoting the Walk of Game since they came up with it last year. Current inductees are: Nolan Bushnell, Shigeru Miyamoto, HALO, Link, Mario, and Sonic The Hedgehog. Now, this would be great if it weren't for the fact that no one notices or even cares. If Sony is trying to mimic Grauman's, they're failing miserably. And why HALO? Ugh. I hate the Metreon.

Sony whines about cracks - The only reason why anyone should ever consider getting a PSP is for modding. My friends and I were waiting for our porn hacks. If we can't have portable porn, what's the point? Well, Sony wants to rain on our porn parade. I'm not going to pay for porn UMDs, dammit. This is one of the many reasons why I hate Sony.

Revolt, revolt - I'm kind of tired of hearing about the Revolution's controller. All I'm honestly concerned about is wither or not I can bludgeon someone to death with it. If I can't, then it isn't that great. Which makes me wonder wither or not I could kill someone with a Game Boy Micro..

~~みんな大好き塊魂~~ＧＭ大好き板垣伴信 - Itagaki is not only an avid hater of Tekken, but is also a short-film director! Who knew. Oh you ugly piece of crap, I love you and your big-breasted CG daughters. Yay Itagaki! (Note: I think in no way is DOA a fighting game. I happen to think Tekken isn't one either.)
