It’s Tuesday morning and I’m freshly back from my 6 month check up with my allergy doctor. I have an ear infection. Not a really bad one, but bad enough to explain why I’ve been so out of it the past couple of days. He put me on some hard anti-biotics and told me to get some rest. Of course, while I took the antibiotics, the next thing on my schedule is to go haul wood in for my dad. Not looking forward to that, but really feel like climbing into bed and sleeping for quite a long time.
Last night I won a bid for a gamecube on ebay. $138 total with shipping for a black gamecube, 2 controllers, a memory card and a Dave Mierra game. That’s a little less than I’d pay for the same things getting them myself. I’m hoping it comes by Christmas because I want super monkey ball 2 and mario kart double dash for Xmas. Actually, I just want a day post X-Mas where I can go down to evil James’ house and we can relive our college days where we’d go to Toys R Us and kill each other on the demos for the original mario kart …
Was eying a WWF Wrestlefest cabinet on Ebay too, but the shipping alone would be more than the unit. Oh that was a time waster. He’d be either Jake Roberts or Ted DiBiase. I’d always be the Big Bossman or Ultimate Warrior. He’d win a lot more than I would and I always spent more quarters on the machine than he did. That was the first real game with a Royale Rumble mode (more guys come out after the first batch were eliminated). Most of the “modern” wrestling games give you that in limited doses, or like in RAW 2 — make it so catonic that you don’t want to play (throw guy into ringpost, run into him to eliminate him, repeat).
I was actually thinking of getting a PS2 for half a second until I saw that all the auctions were going in upwards of $175 before shipping. Then I’d have to spend another $50 to get the new WWE game. I decided to pass. Just not enough there to keep my attention. I had the same opinion of the Gamecube as well, but dammit, that stupid Mario Kart and Super Monkey Ball … dammit.
My forums are open (see link below) if anyone wants to comment on this babble. I’ve also opened a bunch of generic topics just to get the ball rolling.
Oh, TechTV pretty much sold to Comcast. We’ll have to wait and see what happens. They’re going to merge it with their games channel.
The news stories keep saying what gains they’ve made in late night ratings. Thank you’s in each of these stories should go to Laura Swisher and Morgan Webb’s boobs. I should know, those search terms are what keeps this site alive. Without those women on the late night shows showing cleavage, this site probably would have bit the dust some time ago.
Instead, I’m about to put up strip #400 later today. So if ya like the strips you’ve seen so far or you just want to see new boobie shots of the people of TechTV tell me about it. Forum plug over. 🙂
I’m out. Got to go haul wood in then fall over.
