Just got my ps3 back. The DVD that was stuck inside came back so that's good news! But the bad news is...it's already acting up. It wasn't the ps3 I sent in...I had my serial number written down. This refurb'd ps3 is acting up....on the first damn game I tried playing. So it's going back tomorrow as I've got a 90 warranty. I'm pretty pissed about this shit.
Wow! I woke up and found out that the MGS Peace Walker Demo is out! I was hoping it would be after it was released at the Tokyo Game Show. It's on IGN and can be downloaded here:

Also the first thing that I noticed is the defualt camera controls are terrible. They needed to be inverted bad! So I headed on over to game faqs and saw a topic with instructions on how to change the options around:

That topic was very helpful. If only I had bought my PSP TV out cable sooner! I could have a gameplay video of the MGS PW demo up right now! I'm headed off to Wal Mart and Meijer to see if I can track one down in the real world.
I keep getting comments on youtube about my Gameboy collection video. Specifically comments about how I toss my games onto my bed as I go through what games I have. They're fucking Gameboy cartridges! Falling six inches onto a bed will not hurt them. I could throw them at a brick wall as hard as I can and run it over with my cart, set it on fire and it will still work fine. What the hell is up with these dudes? Are they not familiar with how indestructable carts are? Must be because they grew up with CD based games and think everything is delicate.
There's a new rumor that localization for Yakuza 3 has begun! This is great news! I loved Yakuza, a lot. I haven't started on Yakuza 2 yet but I'm really really excited for Yakuza 3 on the ps3. This will be one of those games that I rush out and buy on release day, to show support for Sega. Sega deserves my dollars when they do something good. Keep doing good things Sega.
I'm pissed. Really fucking pissed. I was on ebay looking for a Dreamcast webbrowser, specifically version 3. I got one for $20 total. That wasn't bad, they're hard to come by. All those Dreamcast browsers you see for like basically free are version 2, which are useless with the broadband adapter. Only version 3 works with the broadband adapter so that's why I ponied up the cash for this bitch. First of all it took like a week and a half to get here when it came from the same state, so that means the ebay is slow and secondly there is a giant fucking crack in the disc. Gee, don't you think that's something that should have been mentioned in the fucking auction? No it says it was working and tested, well there's no pictures of the data side of the disc on the auction so I guess I have to take their word for it. Maybe it happened during shipping? The case it came in was one of those folded in half cardboard jobs, and the case was in a fucking bubble pack. Boo. So it may have happened during transit. Let's see if this asshole gives me my damn refund. I'm mad. I can't find another 3.0 webbrowser on ebay, and I can't find a fucking ISO on the internet because I'm not agaisnt burning a copy.
All I wanted to do was download some images to my VMU for use in Jet Grind Radio. Fuck! Stuff like this gets me super mad, this sucks. I was so exicted to finally spray some custom tags. Damn it!
I found the sound track to 3 Dirty Dwarves. Man, listening to it is awesome it has such a catchy soundtrack. The more I play this game the more I love it. what a shame that such a bad ass game went unnoticed just because it was on the Sega Saturn. Had Sega only known how to advertise the Saturn's strong points and maybe didn't screw up the launch and piss off all the third parties then maybe games like this would be classics and we'd have a new Sega console on our entertainment centers.
So I've started playing Zelda Phantom Hourglass. It's pretty sweet, but do you know what would make it even more sweet? Normal controls. I've only beaten the first dungeon but I can tell this is going to be a pretty easy game.
It definitely feels like a Zelda game which is good. I actually am one of those weirdos that loved Wind Waker and the Link in that game. Toon Link is awesome and expressive making him the only Link to have any kind of personality which is one of the reasons I loved Wind Waker so much. I can't wait to get further in this game, its nice that I'm starting to get some good DS games.
The controls are ok but I'd really rather control Link with the D pad. The only cool thing so far about it is using the stylus to draw the path of the boomerang. Using the stylus to run around is awkward though.
