Gregor McGuffin and his Couch Companion of Mysticism

Comment Commentary

James- And now there's all of these rumblings of "upgraded Cube processors." I actually read a very, very horrible thread on a forum the other day, where a self-proclaimed Xbot was bashing the Revolution for its rumored low specifications and how the PS3 and 360 will be able to give more revolutionary experiences through online play and the involvement of hard drives. It wasn't a stupid one though, he/she was very good at speaking.

Then that graph showing Nintendo's console sales every year constantly declining from the NES, and everyone else was too mesmerized by the magic of graphs to check its validity.

I make too much out of this. I should actually be playing games right now, or even worse, something constructive.

Solo- DO A BARREL ROLL!

Azure- I want to go play Elder Scrolls when I'm done writing this, so I won't make a big rant. :(

Shin- But his pills bounce at a different height than regular Mario's! Can you say high-tier? -_^

John- Yeah, didn't they have something called "Smash Mail" when the original Smash Bros. came out? I don't remember at all how it worked.

My birthday is a week from today. Nothing really special or eventful is happening, other than the fact that it's the first day of our winter break, but there's still that excited, childlike mentality of "Almost birthday-ness" lingering somewhere in the back of my mind.

Finals are next week, too, so woot to that. I wasn't so concerned about my biology final until I went to a night of tutoring at the school, where the only thing I learned was that I had forgotten everything else. Nothing else concerns me too much- Latin, of course, will be culture review and remembering some of the more underused verbs, but I have the grammar down.

I learn all of my grammar in my Latin class, which in turn makes my English final easy as hell. So, aside from math, I'm good to go.

I attended a very awful Christmas party my dad's workplace was throwing last weekend. The only good thing that came out of it was the fact that I won a crappy little CD player in a raffle.

Fortunately, the CD player had a Walmart sticker on the back of it, so I went and exchanged it for store credit.

But what did I buy for $10? The only thing really available without me having to throw in at least ten more of my own was The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (Not Game of the Year edition, so no Bloodmoon/Tribunal).

So after downloading a few new skins and textures, I'm enjoying it, boring-as-shit as the combat is. In fact, I'm going to go play it right now.

Last thing: How is everyone's holiday shopping going? I'm doing a rather hefty amount of buying for my friends this year (seven in all), but I've only received two of the items. I'll be ordering the rest either tonight or tomorrow, then I'll be able to relax and cry because I will have no money.
