  • Bought a Gamecube today...

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: bold 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I just couldn't hold out any longer. I've wanted one for a while. :)

I also got Rogue Squadron, Smash Brothers, and Eternal Darkness all pre-owned from EB GameWorld so I got 20% off all three plus %10 off again cuz my friend works there. I got the larger memory card and a 2nd controller for some 2-player Smash Brothers. Now, I just need to talk my friend into getting his own controller so we can all play some 3-player stuff or I can get Mario Party when it comes out or Super Monkey Ball 2 or something.

Woohoo.

Overall, RS and SSBM rock. I love them both. Just gotta get better at them. Haven't tried ED yet.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>The employees at KB Toys pleaded desparately for me to buy extended warantee for $20, but I had to decline. Why are they so dedicated to sell extended warantees? Do they get paid extra every time they successfully get a customer to buy one? This is really starting to annoy me. In her defense though, she remained polite during the whole thing, unlike those fucking cocksuckers at Best Buy who treat you like a war criminal if you turn them down.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Get Resident Evil, or at least rent it. It's a much different game than the first and the graphics give it a different feel completely, not to mention they're incredible. That and Rogue Leader are easily the most impressive GC game graphically</div>

Also, when Animal Crossing Comes out, I can almost guarantee you'll have a lot of fun with that one, I've read up a lot on it, it's out in a week or two I think, PSO comes with all the online connection stuff you need if you're into online play.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I loved Colony Wars (the first two were HARD), but Rogue Leader ruled ass as well. It just engrossed you with it's graphics, tightly refined Rogue Squadron gameplay, sound, and the sheer amount of shit going on. Not to mention the missions were cool.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>I'll say. The Rouge series was simple, but it had enough of that Star Wars feel to be entertaining. Colony Wars, on the other hand, was much more realistic, and had a very nice plot, but it was too damn difficult.</div>
