That is a thing of beauty.

I'm in the wii shopping channel. I'm leaning towards Wonder Boy, a game I spent way too much money on in college. Have you bought any favorite old games for your wii? Did you end up disappointed?
Zork is back. Don't know a thing about it though, just that I remember the old infocomm games and their great packaging.
Woooo.
Hee, Zwitter.
I think I spent about 5 hours playing Toejam & Earl last night.
Awesome! The first game or the second? You know that's where "Polter-Cow" came from, right?
I did not know that! Of course it seems so obvious now. I played the first one all last night. I might have to download the second one now.
A long time ago, I used to play games. Toejam and Earl 2: Panic on Funkatron on the Sega Genesis, for one. One of the enemies was this ghostly cow that possessed your character and caused him to have convulsions, making him lose energy. I dubbed it a "Polter-Cow" and thought it'd make a good story. And then, to my surprise, I actually wrote that story. Like I needed to pay attention during driver's ed. It was the first big story I'd written simply for the sake of writing it, because I had a story I wanted to tell. It's a symbol of my beginning as a writer.
x-post with bitches:
I have been informed this morning by the house urchin that today is the Best Day Ever. And tomorrow and Sunday might rank up there too.
Buffista sprog DC edition f2f in t-12 hours. Mal and Iris would like to apologize in advance for any temporal rifts that occur.
Also, (and this is why this is in games) - Iris says that if Mal wants to play in Monkey Party, he needs to get some pink in his wardrobe. Or Hello Kitty.
Alas, Mal seems to have lost all interest in playing Rock Band. He is now fully dedicated to Lego Star Wars and Fable II (he like to believe he's playing the dog).
I'm sure Iris' presence will alter this, though.
I gave up on my Supernatural band for Rock Band, as I really couldn't get any avatars to look like Sam or Dean or esp. Bobby.
I do have Venture Industries (Brock Samson, Rusty Venture, and Hank and Dean) and The Guild of Calamitous Intent (Dr. Girlfriend, The Monarch, Baron Unterbite, and Magic 8 Ball)
I do have a Fable II question: Is there any benefit to marrying? What about marrying multiple times? Does it matter who you marry? I seem to be engaged or almost engaged to a handful of people.
