I feel the need to apologize, Twilight, for not being around yesterday. I honestly thought I was going to be around more yesterday than I was. I think the longest amount of time I was at home was about an hour after lunch. Anyways, I already called having the computer late Saturday night this week and having the Wii Sunday afternoon, so I'll be around next week.

So yeah, I'm sorry about all that.

i dunno about Magical Starsign, really, because i haven't played it much yet. i only just started it up, lol. i'll probably play some more tonight, but it's in the rotation against Golden Sun, NSMBW, Spirit Tracks, and now Glow Artisan again. once i've played some more of it, i'll let you know what i think, but if you see either malnin or corbs around, ask them about it. they're the ones who said it was a decent RPG and worthy of picking up.

also, i found it used at gamestop for mad cheap, and eBay has it for about what i paid for it (i'm seeing $6-8), so i dunno -- even if i wind up not liking it, i didn't pay full price for it :3

Hey TC
I'm doing great. KHII was awesome. I'll definitely playthrough it again in the near future.
Yes, the Pokemon Marathon starts on HGSS's NA release date. I'll probably be playing through HeartGold.
There is no rush with the marathon. You can take as much time as you want.

Hey TC! Adam's fine. I don't know why he killed his BL page today, but he's still a regular on NL.

Glory of Heracles is fun, but it can be boring, repetitive, and ugly in spots. The battle system is killer fun, but I'm beginning to think the game drags on a bit too long. I'm 20+ hours in and there's been next to no variety. There are certainly better RPGs out there, but this one's fun, and the story's interesting. I'd give it a 6 or 7 out of 10.

I'm sick, whee.

Anyways, that sucks, Twilight...the school part, not the marathon part. You have to do what you have to do, and honestly, I'm barely even participating in my own Metroid marathon. I'm playing GS:TLA though! It got me again, the silly little game.

As for weekend chats and Mario Kart races, I should be around.

Why thank you. And I am in agreement, Charlotte is pretty cool.

Ah yes, the life of a college student. I know how that is...sorry to hear it, Twilight, and I'm hoping for it to get better for ya. Anyways, no, I have yet to find a job. It's just not a great time to be looking for one, to be honest, but I really need to find one just to not feel useless all the time.

Sweet. I should be able to join in the weekly race this time around, as I have absolutely nothing to do today. I'll see ya on the track then.

'sup Twilight, how you been?

I was just wondering if you were going to be around tomorrow, as I finally will not be invested in football all afternoon on Sunday. If so, maybe we could duel on the track via MKWii?

And by duel I mean 'Feenie will eat your dust for you'.

Sorry to have missed you, Twilight. I watched football all day and just returned, so yeah.

And it's good to see you're on Phoenix Wright. I also cut down my Now Playing list. Twelve games was really way too much....as for my marathon games, really, take your time. I know I'll be.

Oh okay I really want a PS3 now so I can play MGS4 but I'm runnning a little low on cash at the moment.

I can't find KH1 anywhere. They were everywhere for $15 brand new not too long but I wasn't a big fan of the series at the time.

Whoa TC, I didn't know you liked Metal Gear.
And yes, lucky me, it was the last copy at EB Games. I'm having fun but I kinda lost count of how many times I got caught.

I'm having a blast with Kingdom Hearts II. Beast's Castle is my favorite world because I had a crush on Belle when I was little...and I still kinda do.
I'm 17 years old now and I haven't move on. Silly me

It really was. It really got me because just earlier that day I had given myself a Mia Fey avi over on Nintendo Life to celebrate buying Phoenix Wright and being a lawyer. That was not exactly what I was expecting to happen to my newfound lawyer girl. It felt good to put the culprit away though, as I really wanted to punch his effin' face in.

lol, I hope you get it away from him. They're interesting little games that apeal to a certain type of person, but if you're in the demographic, they're a lot of fun.

And yes, it has Metroidy-ness! There's a map, and you discover stuff, and it's cool. The only difference is the setting, the amount of blood that spills when people die, and the random bizzare moments it has like when you fight a giant floating ball of naked bodies. I mean really, what the hell?

I really like it though, and I'll be sure to look around for other Castlevania games to get my hands on now.
