So the other day I decided to do an over all check of games that I won and yet to play.  Not including games that I’m currently playing mind you.  Only games that I’ve purchased, tried for a second, and then got pulled away from or distracted by another game.   The is is as follows…

Metal Gear Solid 2

Metal Gear Solid 3

Katamari Damacy

God of War

Ico

A Boy and his Blob

Zelda: Twilight Princess

Super Paper Mario

Super Swing Golf

Fragile Dreams

Monster Hunter 3

Muramasa: The Demon Blade

Fighting Fantasy: The Warlock of Firetop Mountain

I’m slowly working my way though them currently.  What sucks though is that I’ll pick up more games to add to the pile as they get released.  For instance, I picked up MadWorld for Wii about a month ago because it was on sale cheap and just the other day beat it.

It was awesome and one of the best titles I’ve got for my Wii.  I highly recommend it.

Last night I decided to put in Fragile Dreams and I’ve super loving that game too.  If you don’t have it in your Wii collection and you like exploring type RPGs then I suggest you pick it up.

I was able to get it with the sound track for the game too when I bought it.  Fantastic!

BUY: Buy Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon (Nintendoâ„¢ Wii) $49.90
BUY: MadWorld (Wii) $6.90

So I’m sure that most out there know by now there was an earthquake here in Ontario Canada yesterday. What?! You didn’t know that? Well, there was an earthquake here in Ontario yesterday. It’s centre was just North of Ottawa and measured 5.5 in magnitude. Now, I’m not in Ottawa (anymore… I lived there when I went to college), I live about 7 hours away and I STILL felt the quake!

Our studio is on the 9th floor so when the tremor started the building began to vibrate a little. I thought someone was just running down the hall behind me but then it got stronger. Computer monitors where rocking back and forth and everyone got up from their desks to look out the window. Not sure what they expected to see really. The best way to describe the feeling was it seemed like the building was wobbling back and forth. It was really quite scary. It last about 15 seconds so not very long, but long enough to shake up everyone in the studio. Even after it was done and over, I felt that if I rocked back and forth I could make the building sway again.

Even though it was just a minor tremor, the mind tends to make up “what if” scenarios. I work on the 9th floor of a building, if something more serious where to happen, would I be able to make it to safety in time? I have issues with death and dieing that I’m working through (that’s another post) so something like this made me a bit edgy. I wasn’t in hysterics or anything. I’m actually quite calm in emergency situations. It’s only after that I see how scary something was.

Anyway, I’m okay and by the sounds of it everyone else is too. Which is a good thing. ^_^

Has anyone out there been in a scary/serious situation before? How did you react?

With the new Pokemon Silver and Gold games out there in gamers hands and new versions being released in September (in Japan anyway) it due time for a new Pokemon animated movie!  This one is being called Pocket Monsters: Genei no Hasha Zoroark and will have the voice work of one Natsuki Kato.  She’s done voice work in the past and is an avid gamer and cosplayer too.

So what does this have to do with anything on my site?  Well, on top of this being a game related post, Natsuki Kato is sporting quite the camel toe… and that in my books, is worth posting.  Oh, and even though she looks a little young, she’s actually 24.  If Pokemon movies where more like this, I’d totally be more interested.

BUY:Buy Pokemon Soul Silver (Nintendo DSâ„¢) $44.90

BUY: Buy Pokemon Heart Gold (Nintendo DSâ„¢) $44.90

There are a lot of game mods out there.  This one though… is the breast. ^_^

(see what I did there?)

I’ve got a canker sore in my mouth and it hurts like crazy! o_O

Does anyone else get these things?  It’s like a little pit in the bottom part of my gums and it hurts to do just about anything face related.  It hurts to eat, talk, shave, it hurts to brush my teeth… hell, it hurts to just sit here and do nothing.  I’ve had it for about 3 days now and they usually last about a week to a week and a half.  Good grief this thing hurts like hell!

I haven’t got one in long over a year, probably two.  I could have gone longer without getting one and I wouldn’t have minded.  I’ve done research on what to do when you get one, how to avoid getting them and how they start in the first place.  From everything I’ve read it would seem that doctors don’t know how or why they start, there is no way to avoid getting them and nothing to do when you have one.  You just have to suffer though it.

God damn this sucks…  I’m going out for sushi with fiends this weekend.  I hope it’s gone by then.
