Old School:
Where It's At:
Boo-ya!
Intellectual!
Dessert.
Think Pink!
Chatty!
Nerds!
Coolness.
I now own my very own copy of the Neverhood. Outstanding.
[Lord God, don't read those records--it's the cure for insomnia. I don't remember what I read last night, and I doubt that you need it to finish the game.]
Next on the rare game list: Quest for Glory Anthology...but I ain't paying a hundred bucks for it.
You've probably guessed that I ditched FFX, haven't you? I'll get back to it...um...soon.
I'm wondering who invented the recipes for Tales of Destiny II. Rice, onion and an Egg makes an Omelette, which cures all negative stats. Calamari is a cure for poison (yeah, because it's an epicac.)
Oh, and my sister got the Game Cube for Xmas (did I say that?) and it rocks. She digs Pikman, which would drive me crazy, but I dig Luigi's Mansion. The music is definitely funky, and I really like making that scairdey-cat Luigi say, "M-a-a-a-a-r-r-r-r--iiii--oooooo."
Actual transmission of me playing the game.
"Oh yeah. You can run but you...where'd that mouse come from? Now I gotta suck up my money again. Check out that ghost. 'We want to Pump YOU UP!' I'll pump him up alright, just let me figure out how to suck him up. Oh, I gotta hit him with this bag? Damn, they didn't say it would knock ME down. Now I gotta find a heart and pick up my loose change. That idiot is still lifting weights, big dummy. Hey, don't you see me here? Don't you know that I'm going to get you, yeah, you buddy, you with the weights. Yeah, I got this beating you with the bag thang, how ya like them apples? Applesauce, punk! Uh oh! He's windmilling dem arms, aaaaaaah, run, run, run, run away, hide Mario, I mean Luigi. Run, you punk. Okay, whew. Okay, now punch him with the bag again, but I'm ready for you dis time. I'm going to shine my flashlight...why ain't it workin'. Ahhhhhh. Run away, damn. I don't have much health left, he is scuffing me up and I can't even save my hash. Okay, oh, you want a FRESH whack with this bag. Oh, YEAH...I gotta ya! Don't run, never run, you can't go nowhere. Where ya going? Who's yer daddy? WHO IS YOUR DADDY NOW, oh, baby I pulled that ghost for 90, man, it's gold, it's gold. I gotta save this game. C'mere Toad, ya little crybaby."
I'm told that my family goes into hysterics, but I never notice.
Kinda like how I will actually LEAN when playing games because I want to see around the corners without taking damage. You read right.

My only regret is that Zoo Tycoon doesn't have a BARNYARD. Imagine. I could cage beasts like the Silly Goose, Jive Turkey, Chicken Little, and the Social Ostrich, and watch them get eaten by my roving lions, tigers, and bears. [Oh My!]
I must admit that predator/prey fights are exceedingly dull. You always know the outcome, there is little to no action, and each animal MUST have its own little squabble. It's quite redundant.
Not nearly as much fun as turning the zoo itself into one big cage.

As with ANY Tycoon-type game, this one is really recommended.
It's fun, for one thing. It's inexpensive ($29 if you're unlucky), and lordy, it lends itself to abuse. (Don't miss the new user-created animals like albino giraffes or pink elephants.) The first thing you MUST do is close the zoo.You don't want any of them to get away. While you're at it, fire all the zookeepers, and NEVER click on an animal at this stage. You'll only capture them. Ctrl + f erases all those pesky plants and shrubbery, which prevents a proper view of the mauling. Polar bears seem to scoop them up, swipe a few, and knock them flat. OUCH. Don't forget to have a few large cats. I only wish I could make a movie of this action. Lions and tigers (but not bears, oh my) catch a victim, shake them from side to side, then flip them up in the air. You can even lock a few hapless guests in the cage with the animal. This results in getting eaten. This guy just got all mauled up, and he's seeing stars. Too bad that there's no blood. You can also see what a guest is thinking. It may or may not surprise you to see that many of my guests think similar thoughts about my parks.

Wait until the migration is finished. I've got LIVE Zoo Tycoon pics for you. Oh, baby!

"Merry New Year! Ha ha ha HA ha."
I fear that I have had it up to HERE with Blitz Ball. At least I know where the Rename Card is hiding, though.
