the gamer in me... i too am a nerd deep down

So this summer I've kinda gone back to my old, but not so good gaming habits. No, I'm not sucked into WoW (world of warcraft) or other fads. I've just been playing old games and random ones that people probably have never even heard of. But the gaming has kinda always come at bad timing throughout the summer. I bought Xenosaga, an rpg, off ebay about the end of spring quarter. It ended up not coming until the day before summer school started =/ I recently got a game called Neo Contra, also off ebay, and it just came in the mail today =/ Not much gaming time before school starts.

I'll give my 2 cents on these 2 games. Xenosaga, is pretty damn boring. The beginning didn't hook me into wanting to play more, so after a few hours, I just didn't play it anymore. The fight system is nothing special. The graphics are pretty good but that's not enough to keep me playing. Neo Contra on the other hand, is a thing of beauty. Everyone who remembers the old school 2D contra for SNES like I do, will probably find this game to be just as satisfying. The graphics are purdy as heck and classic run and gun games always deliver. One thing that I haven't tried yet is playing with a partner. I'm looking forward to 2 player fun. Call me up if you wanna try this game out =)

Reflecting on summer, and the goals I set out for myself earlier, I guess I didn't accomplish as many of those goals as I had hoped to do. Lets see...

- Go to the IMA... at least 3 more times, lol check

- Read Angels and Demons I'm going to finish it... half way through... maybe? >_<

- Try out a new restaurant Hrmm... gotta think... O, I went to Thai Tom's for first time... I know there's another but I don't remember =/

- Watch the following movies: Wedding Crashers, 40 y/o Virgin, Brother's Grim, the Aristocrat's... I can't think of any more... It didn't happen =/

- Try to get in touch with a few people that I haven't talked/seen for a long time... Did with some people, but not nearly as many as I had hoped.

- Ball into the nite like the world's gonna end tomorrow... Man, I think I have a callus on my foot from yesterday... Rest up and wake up tomorrow suited up for another day =D

So yeah, I still have a few days, less than a week. I have to make the most of these last few days until school starts. Cuz when school starts, it's all gone... Alright, back to gaming, lol
