On Things I'd Rather Not Leave Out Pt.II: Playnation
Friday two weeks back I attended the first Prophecy reviewers meeting. I have been taken aboard as a PS2 and Gamecube reviewer. I was the only of the PS2 reviewers to attend the meeting and I subsequently got all of the games to review - and extra PC games aswell (none of which work on my truly-über-decked-out-P.C.). I thought that I'd be overwhelmed, but it has gone pretty well so far. The games that I received were the sort of quality you'd expect from third-party PS2 gamehouses, generally sub par, but the worst game, Altered Beast, was sadly from Sega. I mourned the irony.
There was a Tekken Tag competition at Varsity on Saturday. I went on my lonesome and sat there in a knot of anxiety for a while. I had been training for about a week and I did well during the first round. I was knocked out in the second round and left right after. This was organised by a group of Indian guys and it seemed like some raqueteering was afoot. Every time one of the people from their group had a match, they would gather around one of the four T.V.'s and cheer the guy on for every single hit he made. This was a little distracting and intimidating. I don't know who won though.
The weekly reviewers meeting wasn't on this week and so I have to hold out for a few days before I try to get my hands on MGS3. I'm really looking forward to that. I get to keep the games that I receive and this would be a very welcome addition to my collection however I don't get the original DVD casing and game book that the purchased game comes with. I'd buy it myself if I had the money - I mean I'm the guy who has a copy of both MGS2: Sons Of Liberty and MGS2: Substance.
Johan is talking about getting a Logitech steering wheel and racing seat for GT4. That would be something!
I've become rather disenchanted with Zazzle after the continuing censorship saga. I haven't visited my page in weeks. Lynn has offered to have silkscreens made for any t-shirts I'm interested in making. I haven't had the time of late but I will certainly get cracking on that.
I've been dropping some rather tactless hints to my friends about my 21st birthday gift. My mom has already given me some sound for the Mazda so I'll be getting little else from her (this sounds really selfish but I'm trying not to write it in that way). I mean we really set the bar high with the iPod Sean had a pretty bad week, the highlights include writing off his Mazda and being cheated on by his now-exgirlfriend, so we got a little trashed together and he let it slip that it has something to do with the now-defunct Jaguar F1 team.
Speaking of F1 I have a tad to gloat about regarding that. I'll leave my smug-equestrian-bashing related rambles until I post again.
P.S. I realised that my previous post must be the most mundane and sad excuse for a post thus far and "next time I'll do better".
