I worked from 3 pm to 12 midnight. That got old fast, so after about nine months of that, they had a position open in the plumbing department from 10 am to 7 pm, which is pretty good for retail hours. I didn't want to move to plumbing, but you can't beat those hours, so I made the switch. And i've been there ever since and it's been about 7 years or so.
I had the opportunity to review Tchia when it came out. But it either didn't grab me as much or I had too much on my plate at the time.
The DS definitely had a lot of great looking games! But I liked the PSP a lot, too. Such a big bright screen! And it was home to stuff like Loco Roco and Ys Seven. It's a shame the Vita bombed so hard. Once I finally got one, I saw how much potential it could've had.
I'm glad I don't have to work late nights anymore. That got old fast.
Only games on your list that I played were Rayman Legends, which I reviewed and thought was pretty good. And Zelda Wind Waker HD. I liked the graphics in that game even when everyone else didn't.
I haven't started it yet, but I got another game to review that looks pretty neat. It's called Mika and the Witch's Mountain. Sounds a lot like Kiki's Delivery Service.
Well I'm still under embargo so I don't want to talk about Bakeru TOO much, but I will note that a lot of people are saying that Bakeru is like the spiritual successor to Goemon. In fact, the company that made Bakeru, Good Feel, their president used to work for Konami making Goemon games!
Bidet marketing? I kind of do that at work (I work in the plumbing section of a major hardware chain).
I think in the future, we'll do a podcast about our favorite anime cartoons.
Lisa and Raphael from TMNT are my favorite characters for mostly only one reason: their placement of their joysticks in the arcade games!
Wow! A PhD? I used to live in Austin in my college days.
Right now I'm mostly playing this for a review. I really like it so far:
My brother Jeff loved the BattleBots show when he was little.
Since I'm playing Bakeru for a review right now, I've been thinking a lot about Okami since both games have heavy Japanese themes. Man Okami was so good! It was my GOTY in 2006, and I liked it better than the Zelda game that came out that year as well, Twilight Princess. You know a game has to be good if I like it better than Zelda! Sure it was a bit too long, but otherwise, you don't see games that good very often.
