In my pining and reverence, I must have forgotten that Raven Shield was delayed until February. My Birthday is in February.
Dayum
There's lots and lots of stuff coming out this week. Most of my bad boys are shipping next month (we'd be talking Raven Shield, Metroid Prime, Metroid Fusion, Splinter Cell, and Hegemonia - really) but t'ain't a bad crop in the meantime. Still kind of bummed out that Tony isn't online on the Xbox, but maybe it'll run alright over Tunnel, eh?
Cory Said To
So here I am, putting up these Matrix Reloaded teaser sheets. The Neo one is probably the best of the bunch.
Iron Storm
If you were intrigued by that Iron Storm game we had up last month, I guess it ships today.
The Scent Of Fear
We both went and saw The Ring this weekend, and I think - if anything - it showed how vulnerable my apartment is to monster attack.
Jesus
It might count as spoiler material if you watch it, but you might be interested anyway.
my update
I just have a couple quick things to mention this morning.
Now You Know
Now you know who to blame, at least.
I'm still alive!
I decided to go to this Xbox thing because I actually am pretty excited about Xbox live. When they announced that Panzer Dragoon Orta would have and online mode I started paying attention to what they were saying. When they announced that Capcom vs SNK 2 would be online I knew that my life would not be complete without Xbox live. However I'm still not in love with the machine or its lack of quality games. I know the good games are on the way but it doesn't change the fact that right now it's just a two hundred dollar stand for my Gamecube.
Off-Topic
But terribly useful.
Almost True
I didn't see it announced anywhere, but it is certainly true that we were invited to Microsoft. Specifically, invited to the "Xbox Live Boot Camp," hosted in the Millennium Buildings where their gaming operation is housed.
Absolutely Ridiculous
Here is the latest strip. Sorry about the lateness, I inadvertently uploaded this comic into Earth's far-flung future. I should mention that the mysterious Sniper Gypsies come to you courtesy of my last birthday coupon.
I Can't Speak To That Now
I'm too distraught about this Tony Hawk 4 thing.
Superfan is nobody's fool
Holy shit! The Crimson White is a fucking treasure trove of comedy. Check out this article by “Superfan”. Apparently he is none too happy about an unflattering portrayal of himself in a recent comic strip that ran in the news paper. My favorite part is when he (in an effort to prove he is not a fool) suggests that the cartoonist contact the “family who gave me my cape”. I am still crying over that one.
Loser
Why?
I tried to play a little UT 2003 this morning, but I kept running into the same problem. Every Goddamned server I joined this morning had the translocator turned off. I don't understand why so many servers do this. The TL is one of the things that really makes UT stand out from all the other FPS games out there. So why do so many of you feel the need to play without it? Does it make the game too fast for you? Does its use require a level of strategy that you just can't comprehend? Did a Translocator kill your Mom?
