Not much else to talk about -- and I am not doing another instant ramen post -- so I'm just here to mention that my website is coming along nicely. I think I've finally worked out all of the layout bugs that were making me bash my head against random objects from time to time, so now I'm getting back to adding actual content to the site. That, and fixing little things in the styles that don't look quite right, aka tweaking. I can never stop myself from tweaking little things here and there until they're just right.
Also, I'd like to say (yet again) that F-Zero GX is an awesome game. One of the best in my small library of ten games, and probably one of the best on the GameCube overall. Anyone who likes racing games is doing themselves a huge disservice by not at least renting this game. Heck, even someone like me who isn't that into racing games is doing themselves a huge disservice.
This is the second time I've gone back to F-Zero GX after not playing for a long time, and it's still a lot of fun trying out different machines. Even though they're the same tracks -- though there is a good number of tracks -- what seemed so simple before can suddenly become a desperate struggle to keep from flying off the edge when you switch which machine you're using. Learning to use controlled slides on heavy machines with low grip ratings if fun, heh.
I used to think it would just be flat out impossible to win on some of the machines, but now that I'm better at the game and I'm actually trying them out again, I'm finding that they're all good in their own ways, and their flaws can be taken into account and compensated for with a certain racing style. My favorite type of machines are still light ones with low body, high boost, and medium grip ratings, though. Little Wyvern, Mighty Typhoon, and Mighty Hurricane are the three machines that I've found I do best with so far. You gotta use the subtlety. ^_~
