Three blessed days off. Imagine all the gaming I could cram in. As if.
Hopefully, if I can insult family members enough so they want me to leave, I can get some gaming done this weekend. My experience with Phantom Hourglass has been limited to just seeing the opening credits--Vulcan Ninja grabbed both it and the DS and that, as they say, was that. She's been curled up on the couch, tapping and laughing with Link ever since.
I have been playing through Paper Mario on the Wii, which has been much fun. The talk that finally Sin and Punishment is available through Virtual Console has had me scrabbling through my discs, trying to find the Nintendo WiFi install disc, which I made the mistake of putting somewhere safe. I've also been dragged into playing Runescape with my nephew, and dealing with his disgust that I don't have a level 46 character by now. (What do I do with my time?) And of course, it's Brewfest in WoW, and I'm under pressure to mine more with my corporation in EVE Online.
So, of course, with all that, I'll probably just play Tetris on my phone, pretending to listen when family members talk about buying new patio sets.

Sin and Punishment? If somebody had told me about the game, I would never have sold my N64. Crap, crap, crap. Oh, sorry, I should have started by professing my love for shooters. Have a great weekend!
First David with his lolcat Linkitty. Now you're talking Tetris - on a phone!
Tetris fercrissakes!
Intervention!
I did manage to download Sin and Punishment from the VC, and it's a pure joy. I mean--A PURE JOY. It's got that crazy bugfuck feel the best Japanese games have, and it just never stops for breath. The only problem I'm having is that the GC controls aren't exactly the same as using the N64, so a game that is already a challenge becomes even moreso. (And my old 64 controllers don't fit in the Wii slot. Sniff.) Still, for roughly $14, you can't beat it.
Me love shooters, too. Especially ones that are as well made as this one. Now I just have to download Gunstar Heroes....
Intervention? Just bring the Red Bull, CL!
