Hubble, Bubble, Boil and Trouble

Nothing like a little magic to brighten my day. Poor Igor, he goes from one lunatic master to another and his situation never improves. Van Helsing is a wanted murderer in Paris and a man with a tortured past. Interesting taste in clothes though; comfortable and functional. Pity they're not strong to stop werewolf bites.

Such is life I suppose. What looks fairly decent at first glance soon loses its luster.

Games are eating my life again, though I refrained from buying one of the new Xbox360s. Nice enough if you've also got the funds to buy a huge HD TV to go with it. The same goes for the new PlayStation3. I'm quite fond of Nintendo's stance to the next generation consoles; wii don't care about HD we're going to make a games console.

The result? A console that is outselling the PS3. I'll admit playing Zelda games is far too much fun to pass up, that and playing as your favourite Nintendo characters and beating the crap out of each other. I'm the proud owner of an original NES with light gun and arcade stick. I also have The Legend of Zelda in a shiny gold cartridge. Collectable, if I kept the box.

Ah well. The Collector's Edition on the GameCube makes up for it. Must finish at least one Final Fantasy before I go traveling or buy any more games.

till next time,

Alex.
