I can’t stand’em.  I know lots of people that do but I just can’t take them.  I feel all kinds of nauseous afterwards and they scare the crap out of me (actually, that’s pretty much all canival type rides).  Oh sure, they look really cool, I see people having lots of fun on them and to be honest, I wish I did like them… but I just can’t make it happen.  From time to time I’ll get brave and try one out only to remember “oh yeah, that’s why I don’t like them”.  I’ve even tried some large water slides.  Nope, can’t do those ether.  I guess it doesn’t help that I hate swimming, so really it’s my own damn fault right there.  I’ve had friends tell me that it’s okay and I should just keep riding them until I’m use to it.  Ugh… I think it’s the adrenalin rush that I get… or just plain fear.  The only roller coaster I can do is Thunder Run at Canada’s Wonderland.  It goes in the mountain and it’s pretty fun and short.  Most of the people I know won’t go on it though because it’s pretty tame.  Well, screw those guys!  I guess I just prefer my roller coasters in tycoon form.

Do you like roller coasters or try and pressure your non coaster friends to ride them?

The other day I picked up Space Invaders Extreme 2 on DS for $6 bucks!  I’ve heard good things about it and so when I found it I thought… why not?  After a few plays, it’s safe to say I like it.  It’s fun, easy to pick up and play but, there seems to be some depth to it.  If you dig old school games with a modern twist I say pick it up.

What’s the best game deal you’ve found?
