Also, random thought. If Cole from InFamous cannot touch water without dying, then how can he "go out for a couple of drinks" with Zeke?  Hell, how does he urinate? :S |

ARGH, stupid olymipic games games. Those things are so stupid. I didn't even know horse riding was in the olympics! Sonic games suck now, although the Generations Demo that was out for a tiny bit was likable. I'm sure they found a way to make that suck though.
And I think they retcon explained that in the second game, since it looks like he feeds off of those blast shards instead of simple sustinance. I'm sure his biological processes are significantly different than a regular humans. Besides, he can touch a little bit of water and survive, like puddles. It's probably like Charmander, how he needs the flame on his tail to live, but isn't immune to being burned. It's probably a pain he just has to tolerate to survive.

Though I'm loving all the positive praise and reviews El Shaddai is getting. I knew a game by the art director of Okami couldn't make a bad game.  |

Where!? The videos always say it's PS3 (and psst, by the way, also PC and *cough*360) practically when I see these things. Have you seen any of the gameplay yet? It looks like even the people who test the games suck at playing the game, ha ha ha ha. None of them lock on or use defend, two things that you ABSOLUTELY cannot survive this game without doing CONSTANTLY. It looks graphically incredible though. Also, a classic Sonic weird Screenshot, and a good one  Sonic paciently waiting for Tails to die. |

It was probably a typo on the preview, who knows. And hahaha, that's a great screenshot. Yeah, it was actually supposed to be out already but it was delayed to next Tuesday for... undisclosed reasons. Who knows why. It was supposed to be out in July. Not that I have the money to buy it because I really really want to support this team, but with Skyrim and ACR and Team ICO collection and The Last Guardian and Dragon's Dogma and Journey coming out... that's over $280 right there if I buy everything on day one. And I can't spend $300 on video games alone, my parents would think I'm crazy, especially since I only have $974.82 in my bank account (unless they allow me to get a job :/) and that's supposed to be food/school/emergency money. So yeah... my big day oner's are Team ICO games (including TLG) and Revelations, definitely. I COULD hold off on Skyrim even though every cell in my brain craves it. And Journey's price will never change from $10, and there's no real release date anyway--just "TBA 2011". Finally, Dragon's Dogma won't be out until two weeks after my birthday (I'm pretty sure it's during Spring Break too ), so I'll see if I'll still get birthday money. Being a gamer is expensive, I've never realized how many thousands of dollars my parents have spent to make me happy all these years. I silently thank them for that. Not to mention that they have now said that they'll pay 50-70% of my tuition for the four years. Awww <3 |

Yeaaaaaaah, prolly. I mean who are they kidding, only PS3 people will buy it anyway, besides, the very few who do buy it for Xbox will return it faster than the PS3 wimps who couldn't handle Demon's Souls.
Ha ha ha, yeaaaaaah, I love abusing Debug mode for killing Tails in creative ways
I thought it came out with the Demo..... At least thats how I remember seeing it I thought.
Yeaaaaaaaah, my money is tight as it is, so I'll only be putting money out for ICO and maybe ACR(I'm definately getting it, I just might have someone get it for me for christmas to save myself some money) other than that, no matter how much I want a game, I'm gonna have to hold off, since now I'm gonna have to start paying car insurance and my bottom line is pretty small now. Plus I'm gonna need to pour a bunch of money into my car in the next few months for Inspection, Oil Change, new Brake Pads, TONS of gas, and other small expenses. But I'll keep stashing away what I can for any games that catch my attention, and ones that I want and still don't have. I'm not too excited for Dragon's Dogma anymore, the more I hear, the less I get interested. The demo is REALLY gonna have some convincing to do. And if I really need to play Skyrim, I might just borrow it from my neighbor when he's done with it, since I'm about 99% sure he's gonna get it, since he's so obsessed with Oblivion right now. Then Dark Souls I'm gonna wait for to be cheap, like I do most games really. It takes a lot to get me to buy something new. Infact I've only bought myself one Brand New game ever, and that was when I pre ordered Birth By Sleep for PSP.
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaah, If your cheap like me though, it's not as bad. You just have to learn how to be a poor person, a disipline I've had training in my whole life, Ha ha ha ha ha. And awwwww, that is nice, although they expect you to pay up to half your tuition without getting a job? How do they expect you to live off of just $900 for the rest of your life? Ha ha ha ha ha ha. I bet they'll end up paying the entire thing for you eventually

No, El Shaddai was released in Japan in April, but the North American version was set to release in July. It came onto PSN during the E3 demo week.
Well, the collection is only going to be $40, so there's a good sign there. ^_^ And yeah, cars are big money grabbers too...
No, I don't want them to pay for it all. I might become one of those snobby "I;m getting a free ride" kind of kids. After I graduate college, I plan to live in an apartment for 5 to 8 years, and save up my money to make a major dent into my first house; and by major dent I mean a 20 to 40% down payment.

Ugh, I could have sworn I saw it, I guess I was confused. I hate when things get pushed back
Yeah! Thats why I'll be getting it! Cheapness, wooo! Plus, it's definately worth it. And yeah, especially Foreign European luxury ones, even if they are old enough to drive themselves. Everything on this car costs $100, no matter how small the piece. Tire, brake pads, little knob on the radio, that screw that holds the plastic cover over the spark plugs, $100 for you. doesn't matter, just everything! Ha ha ha ha
Oh come on! I know your better than that. I mean at the very least have them pay for it and you pay them back, your just not one of those people, you're way to smart for that. Your plan says enough about that. Wow.

I just don't want them to pay for the whole tuition. With the way the government inflated tuition costs since the 1980s, they shouldn't be the full victims of it.

Victims? If they don't use the money for your tuition, they'll just become victims to the insanely large TV market, or the ridiculous internet knick-knack market. They might as well put their money into a good sure investment like you. You'll make them more money than those silly giant cups ever will. Beileve me, I'm sure the money is burning a hole in their pocket either way, you might as well put it to good use.
Besides, if you pay them back, it's benificial to both parties, because your taking out an interest free loan that won't come back to haunt you, and they know your trustworthy enough to pay them back.

So I just watched the 20 years of Sonic video from PSN, and it's kinda sad really, because like, you can really see the divide when things got terrible. The first 6 games they show (1, 2, Sonic CD, 3, Sonic and Knuckles, and Sonic Adventure 1) are truely brilliant, then Sonic Adventure 2 was...meh...It really wasn't as good storywise, and the lack of the Adventure Field really drains from the experence, not to mention that you have to play as someone new each level. Then they show like, the clear divide between those games, and the later ones, like Heroes, Sonic the Abortion'06, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Sonic Unabridged(unleashed), and Sonic Colors, which people say is good, but I doubt it since most people have their bar set so low. Sonic Generations COULD be alright, but we'll see, it doesn't have the exploration factors the older games had. I wish it did though, I love being able to take a different route though a level each time I play, and having options, so if you need rings or a shield, you can explore a little and find them. Thats what I hate about the new games, the total utter lack of exploration, and it's just this liniar level design where all you have to do is hold forward and occationally steer, and rarely jump, and your through a level, that is if a glitch doesn't get you, since all the enemies are totally useless for anything other than super long flashy chains of homing attacks over ravines. In the old games it was possible to be fast and flashy and still have substance, the enemies could harm you if you weren't careful, and if you looked around and explored, you were rewarded for it, either by a shortcut, or some rings or powerups, or a bonus stage. It was much better than these new sonic games that try to rely on story somehow, when the story in the old game could be told without dialogue, not a single word of it. Like the story of Knuckles, when he starts as as a percieved villian, then in Sonic and Knuckles you discover he's being used by Robotnik to get the Master Emerald for the Death Egg, and Knuckles then decides to help Sonic since he figures out whats really going on, just from things that happen in game. That kind of classic stuff doesn't happen anymore. Sonic was the ultimate minimalist storyline, with amazing artwork. And now....well....it's....not..
Yeaaah, I'm just posting at this point, Stream of conciousness really.
