Forgive me, I have sinned most greviously.
Dear non-existant diety/ies, I have commited a most henious crime. I don't know what came over me, but I fear I may do it again, and with increasing frequency... Help me!
I hooked up.... that thing. Not only did I hook it up, I PLAYED it! And I ENJOYED it! I didn't use it to watch DVDs, as it had been resigned to do for the last two years of my life... I played a game that was designed for it. I played Grand Theft Auto III.
Playstation 2, you win this round.
However, as pennence, I will up my dosage of Gamecube. XIII and Amazing Island shall be my Gamecube gaming experiances. I remain devout, but I have been made unclean...
In other news:
KILL BILL! WATCH IT! It's the best movie ever created or thought of, and deserves all the money and support you can muster. BEST MOVIE EVER.
I played the DS at Wal-Mart. It's very strange, mostly awkward in implementation. There's plenty of things they didn't do right. In the Metoid Hunters demo, you control where you look with the touch-screen, which I think is BAD. You don't have as much precision with this method, and you lose many buttons What's worse, you jump by double-tapping the screen, something that can easily happen on accident. You also change weapons with the screen (something I wouldn't mind doing at all, but not while using it to pivot).
The Nintendo DS has plenty of capability, but it doesn't use it correctly. There's plenty of stuff that CAN be done, but hasn't. It's a wonderful machine, but the game developers don't know how to use it. There's just some things you DON'T NEED TO USE THE TOUCH SCREEN FOR.
The graphics are amazing though. I hope this thing pulls through, because it's definately a good piece of hardware. This time, it's the software that lacks, and that's a bad thing. Anyone ever hear of X-box? The difference is the DS is highly innovative, rather than X-box just having superior specs and hard drive.
There's a debate tournament after school today. I hope I win big, as there's not many teams competing, and we've proven our team is the best Moorhead team in the last tournament. Awesomeness.
