I hope everyone's respective V-Day (similar to D-Day, but with a higher average body count) went well. I dined my woman on crab legs and champagne, and then we screamed at Kid Icarus for an hour or two. Good times!
For the record, that game is hard, and I appreciate it. By the time we were finished last night, I my stomach was in a knot and I was fucking pissed. I have a score to settle now, particularly with that grim-reaper looking mother fucker that calls his little flying skeleton snake SOBs down to gank you. Long story short: it is on. It is on like Donkey Kong.
I also realized something very important about old-school games: the very moment you start talking shit, you die. This law seems to be both universal and unavoidable.
Golden Axe was also purchased last night, and it served to remind me how much I loved the side-scrolling beat-em-ups of yesteryear. There have been similar games released since the decline of the genre, and while I appreciate their attempts to sate my need for rampant bloodshed, they seem to lack the charm of their forebears. My most solemn wish is that they bring the old Dungeons and Dragons arcade game to the Virtual Console. Were that to happen, I will sink to my knees and weep with joy.
For all my Exalted friends: if you want to see a man complete his Epic Motivation in real life, find the Police performance at the Grammys on YouTube. I want you to pay attention to Stuart Copeland, the drummer. That is what a man looks like after accomplishing a life-long dream. His Essence went up, and you can tell!
That is all for now. Peace!

Its funny cause I saw the same thing on the grammies. i was like, "that guy is really happy to be back with the police."
About wow, I go thru spurts too. Right now, I'm in like tim, or something. For the gold thing, Yeah its tough work, but the good news is, you don't have anything else to spend it on. So you save it up from 60 to 70. I hear RJ has had enough to front Dj for his epic already and a lot left over.
To give blizzard some credit, there has been a lot of unique quests that they have come up with (the bombing run) to make things fun and exciting.
Also, for the instances, you don't need a mage, you need crowd control. Yes mages are best at this, but you don't need a mage. A Hunter, say like me, could do it. :-D
You don't even need a full fledged diverse group. You can have one healer and 4 wariors technicaly.
ok I'm done
Yeah, all that is true. I'm just feeling pouty about it all.
I also think that my taste in games is changing. I think I realized this the other night, after an awesome part of Twilight Princess where you battle a horde of mounted orcs, and then duel their leader on a large bridge spanning a bottomless chasm. The whole scene was intense, and after I had vanquished my foe (and yes, "vanquish" is totally the right word here), I felt an immense sense of pride.
When you scream, "FUCK YEAH!" at your television, you know you're having a good time. I can't remember the last time WoW incited an emotional response from me besides, "Wow, neat upgrade!"
