I'm around and stuff. Mega Man 9 is good news, but 8-bit graphics and sound? Lame as shit.
what'm I playing... I'm playing STALKER. Also, glad I didn't pick up Commando 3 for a buggy-ass ST. That's pretty ghetto that it's as broken as it is.
What else.. uhm... picked up Berserk Vol. 23 today, and I hafta go to a wedding tomorrow. Which means dressing up and looking not like a scrub. Ugg, I don't like the thought of that.
I'm sad that Alone in the Dark sucks. Ironic that it's the best Atari can get... they should stick to what they're good at, which is nothing. They're gonna be outta the market (at least the mainstream one) real soon...
I also was editing my Crisis Core review I did a while back for a writing sample to submit, and I hadn't really read through the final product post-changes that RPGFan did. They changed two things... the first thing, where they changed what I put to something that didn't read right at all was annoying... but I could deal. The second one which I just saw today had "in my opinion" added to that. Not only does that destroy any credibility the author might have had, but it makes you sound like a complete twat when you're basically like "IMO" in a review. Of

in' course it's my opinion... it's a goddamn review you slackjawed yokels. Those are the only things the guy changed, which gives me the impression that he just did that so he could claim that he edited it. C'mon. I need to be getting paid before I'll accept moronic changes like that.
Speaking of reviews, I reviewed Lost Planet: Colonies here:

It was mega disappointing though. That's the second time I've felt like Lost Planet was a complete waste of time, so I'm definitely not going to bite on the inevitable Lost Colonies: Extreme Condition Colonies Edition Arctic Blast Chiller Icy Hot Edition. Because adding in Phoenix Wright as a playable character will not change the fact that the game has a D in its mouth all the time.
On a brighter note, STALKER and Beatmania are great things!
