E3 Goodness

I'm still hung up on Spore. I haven't bought too many games in the last couple years since I really got into playing my old GameCube games. But Spore, for the PC, is looking like it's going to be a pretty rux0r game. And I'm not really into the whole strategy thing, but I think I can slog through it to get to the interplanetary domination.

I think I gained a whole 15 pounds from the week I spent in Calgary eating the conference food. It suddenly expanded my gut, causing me to notice. My girlfriend notices as well.

Nintendo Revolution (the next step, after GameCube). WiFi. Library of vintage games for download (possibly for a small fee). Backward compatibility. That's what's got me tingling for the system. However, I'm going to try to hold out until the system is dropped in price and comes with accessories; yeah, probably a year after its release it'll finally drop in price, which would put it at 2 and a half years until I get my hands on the system. I bought my GameCube when it had just been released. It had a whole 4 or 5 games released when I'd bought it. The Cube, an extra controller, a memory card and game rang up at around $500 (Canadian). You can buy all that for $150 today.

Value gaming with Nintendo. I bought Harvest Moon: It's a Wonderful Life. I've burned throught he first week and a half of game time. I've picked two tomatoes from my crop. I've got 5 watermelons on the way and19 more tomatoes (21 after the two I picked grow back) on the way. One cow, a hen and a rooster (and my dog). I've begun wooing the ladies. The shy (easiest to woo) girl is the one I'm avoiding. I'm going for the hard-to-get Nomi. She's a red head. Need I say more? The game is quite fun. A days chores leaves me with enough time to dig for artifacts and fish a little bit. Definately worth the $19 I paid for it.
