Upon my return to the United States of New York I got a text from Rubino about going to one of the few remaining Circuit City's to look for some cheap camera stuff. There's a high level of joy to be taken in looking through the almost-wreckage of a hollowed out electronics store. The disheartening came in finding nothing but a D40 and a D60, both floor models, selling at 20% off. No flash units either, which is what I had been really looking forward to getting. Couldn't even get a cheap-o Sunpack flash. The camera section was quite barren. Luckily the game section was not. I walked out of there a hundred bucks lighter and a bunch of games heavier. Nothing really worthwhile though.

None of the games were anything I had been very excited about getting though, just fillers really. Like everyone else, I'm anticipating RE5 and Killzone 2 but there are very few recent or upcoming releases to get excited about. Oh wait. There was a Dead Rising 2 announcement and Lost Planet 2 announcemnet - Thanks Capcom, but I still won't get SFIV. I don't enjoy unyielding frustration.

Just saw this over on Kotaku and I immediately remembered when I first played it on a friend's Dreamcast. I've been meaning to play Virtual On over and over again since about ten years ago.

And in another set of wonderful videos that made me happy was the new launch trailer for the Lost Planet sequel. They got Jungles! Unheard of! I think I was one of the very few people who really enjoyed the control mechanics and, as trite as it was, the story. I was entertained.

I watched a video of straight gameplay for Madworld. I am no longer nearly as interested in this game as I was beforehand. It doesn't look as if it was slopped together at the last moment - it just look's as if it was constructed with little care. Can't wait to see if I'm right or wrong on that one.

Good times were had. Hung out with family and cool people, some babies, a bit of mountains and rainforest, and a volcano or two. I'll be upping more and more photos to my flickr for the next few days. One casualty along the way. I think I have some crazy glue somewhere though.

Also, this made me happy:

I'm fairly certain that the internet and the United States will be just fine, if not better, without me for one week.

Gone

Tee. Hee.

Sunday. February the first, two thousand nine.

Inner thoughts: I will not punch right through the glass and take what I want. I will stand here and wait for my order. I will smile and say, "Have a nice day." as I exit the building. I will not run out of this store screaming at the top of my lungs, with my bloody fists full of liberated fish.

Take me home. Take me home with you.

Fish do not control me. Regardless of how bulgy and hypnotic their eyes are.

So I gots mah crickets and headed home. Crickets. Man, I hate crickets. They stink like the outer ring of the Seventh Circle of Hell and if you let 'em sit still long enough, they get to be just as loud and annoying as those boiling in the shallows of bloody Phlegethon. Every chirp is a cry. Each one is almost a command. Chirp - "Kill me." As more noise is created; chirp, "Please." the more I understand their language. Chirp chirp. "I want to die." And I understand their plight. Chirp. "I'm a fucking cricket." Chirp chirp chirp. "Get up. Get a gun."
