My 2 cents

Playing console games really sucks away time like there's no tommorrow. Game makers really make their games addictive and unending so that you'll stay playing for hours... Not good... I don't think I'll play anymore long rpg's after FFX and devil may cry. I made the mistake of startin them both. It's not easy to stop. The actual reason I got the PS2 was so that when people came over, they'd have some games to play together. However, I haven't gotten any decent multiplayer games, nor the multiplayer adapter yet. Prices are still relatively high, and I'm hoping that they will go down soon. I want to get some multiplayer NBA 2k3 action~!! and I know there are others who also want it ;D These past 3 weeks have probably been the most dreaded and boring ever. The occasional friday night basketball has become my favorite pass-time. Just this last friday, I felt I played an excellent game and pulled off some sweet moves that would've had any audience (at least the 3 person audience there) ooh-ing and ah-ing... I'm letting the ego take over too much... u_u;; The Bond movie looks like quite the strictly-action flick, as all of the previews are just the compilation of the billions of billions of action scenes from the movie, except for the Halley Berry one =P which I also look forward too... ehehe. I've heard that there isn't much of a good plot to the movie, and that action is all it is. I'm down for that, even though with all the other action films ie: xXx and their fresh ideas, I'm hoping that Bond will not let me down. I made a recent trip to vancouver, that was very short-lived and nothing much happened, except the typical on a vancouver-run. Ate food, shopped, ate, shopped vcd's, ate. Yea, the food is good. If you've never been up there, plan on going up now~~ Can't go wrong with shopping malls, good restaurants, and lotsa asians. =P ask me about vancouver if you're interested... i visit quite often so i know the places to go =D

Been playing Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero, hella fun game, if you like cars and racing. Only bad thing is the mutiplayer is not very good. I'm also borrowing FFX, Devil May Cry, and Onimusha. FFX is good, except the story doesn't seem as good as FF7. Devil May Cry is a tight game, but it gets reptitive after a while. Onimusha is ok, but I wouldn't advise buying it. Devil May Cry is a better choice. Aside from that... my life has been pretty... boring... So I spent some time thinking. I've found that there are way too many people who, maybe indirectly force people into fit their schedule. I don't know if it's on purpose, or whether it's just because they have busy lives with other relevant things, but sometimes it gets very annoying, especially when you've spent a lot of time waiting on them. People have become too "irresponsible" towards others. Everything they do is for themselves and never for others. I guess you could say that the world has gotten more competitive. However, I don't see that as good for the future necessarily. It could possibally increase the rate at which we advance and make more discoveries, but it also distances people more. I've recently read in a Judaism piece, which said "When humans do not interact with others, they are not human. When humans interact with others, they become barbarians." I find this to be true in this day and age. Everyone is too caught up in their own well-being that we forget that we are stronger in numbers. Unfortunately, everyone thinks they are genius's born into the world and do not need anyone else's help. Their arrogance has created animosity toward others. Some people are too blind to see any of that even. Just a thought...

First quarter is over... and my classes have royally kicked my ass... *sigh*... On a happier note, I recently attained a PS2~~~!!!! Too bad no games yet... u_u;; But I'll try to go shopping for some soon. I hope to get some good multiplayer games and a multi-tap so that many people can come over and party =D Games on my list to get include Tokyo Street Racing Extreme, NBA 2K3, some DDR game, mebbe FIFA, Bomberman, and yea... so many games, too many to keep track of... I've just realized that owning a console is quite expensive. I mean the companies just want u to keep spending on diff stuff. I mean u need extra controllers, mem cards, and games cost an arm and a leg... back in the day with the snes, I could get a quality game for around $20. If anyone has good suggestions, please feel free to IM or tell me some other way. To tired now, sleep........
