Merry Christmas, GameSpotters, and othe Cnet folk.

Yup, that's my wish to you guys. I got early Christmas presents already. A 16" (instead of 11") tube TV, and a GameCube steering wheel with petals. I drive like I'm drunk when I use that thing for Mario Kart and F-Zero GX. I'm not used to it yet.

Whenever I observe holidays like Christmas, I always remember why I celebrate it to begin with. Jesus probably wasn't born on Dec 24th or 25th, but the point it that his birth is the reason we celebrate Christmas. It makes me feel a bit down when people forget it.
Like, in cartoons such as Spongebob or Emperor's New School (not a good show, I know) they don'teven tell you what Christmas is about. In Spongebob, Sandy just tell Spongebob some whimsical tale of Christmas-y things, neglecting the birth of Jesus Christ entirely. In Johnny Bravo's 2nd Christmas episode (best epsiode of the series), they said Christmas was a time to celebrate the birth of Jesus. They did well to do that, because without somuch as a mention of his birth, Christmas is so shallow, and, in essence, meaningless. Christmas time is suppsed to have a reason to be joyful. Not JUST giving and getting things you make or buy from a store. As the Grinch says, "Maybe Christmas means a little bit more." And it's true. There's a reason for this holiday, try not to forget it!
One thing that I didn't like was how I visited a few thrift stores and saw sevral nativity sets. Each of those complete sets were missing ONE PIECE! Wanna guess which piece that was? Take a guess, seriously.

The missing piece was the baby Jesus on EVERY one! It's the most important piece. Sheesh, why do people want to strip Christmas of it's whole meaning? It looks so stupid when the wisemen, shepherds, and parents are reverently observing... well... nothing!

Well, regardless of those things, I'm still gonna have a good Christmas this year. I hope you guysdo, too!

Let's Exchange Animal Crossing Friend Codes! \^o^/

I've really been enjoying this game alot lately. The flexebility and freedomyou have is really interesting. When Tom Nook asks me to write a letter to Benedict on his behalf, I say:
"Tom Nook says you suck!
He sends his most loving regards."

Or when Nook asked me to advertise his store on the town's bulletin board, I wrote:
"Come to Nook's Cranny and get a 50-percent discount on used underwear! Act now before the sale ends!"

I made myself a shirt that was inspired by SA2. It says "Got Ring ?" with a shiny ring on it.
You can't tell what it says, but the idea that you can make your own clothing design is awesome.

I wonder what'll happen if I steal Nook's flowers and try to sell them to him?

Online get to gethers are great. My gates are open usually.

Here's my friend code:
262-112-467-858

So, what's yours?

My New DS Games First Impressions #2

Big Brain Academy:
It gets my brain going, and it's pretty fun.. This game is among the smallest (about 8 MB) I've seen.

Elite Beat Agents:
Very well put-together and requires alot of concentration. It's easier if you practice more and get into the feel of the music as you play.

Bleach: Blade of Fate:
Very fun fighting, but WiFi lags way too much. Outstanding audio, though.

Megaman ZX Advent:
From what I've played, I like it. But the gameflow isn't simple like MMX games. It's like the first MMZX, sorta. The music is good, but the voice acting isn't that great.

My new DS games first impressions #1

Well, thanks to the awesomeness of technology I've been playing a ton of my new DS games. Here are my impressions:

Contra 4:
Very punishing, yet very fun. Nice audio, smooth graphics, but I hae how camera deaths kill me most of the time.

Super Princess Peach:
Being a platformer lover, I like the game, but I hope it gets alot harder. The mood abilities are neat, and scewering Goombas is fun.

Pokemon Diamond:
I'mat the place where I get my first badge, but the Gym Trainer is gone. Where is he?AndI found special buildings that let me use wireless communications, but how to I get to battle random folk on WiFi?

Mario Party DS:
I like this alot better than the recent Mario Parties. It makes excellent use of the DS and doesn't rely AS much on luck.

Kirby Squeak Squad:
Good variety, solid controls, I love it so far!

Monkey Ball:
Very nice. Everything I've come to expect so far.

Nintendogs Dalmation:
Very fun to fool around with. Brilliant animation and graphics. Bark mode is out of sync always, which is retarded, but I like giving all kinds of stuff to my sister.

Custom Robo Arena:
Interesting battles and some very unfitting music in story mode. Graphics seem a bit bland, but not bad. I'm still trying to get the controls down.

Viewtiful Joe:
Very impressive controls, with awesome slowmotion tricks and other cool stuff. Nice music, and vivid cartoon graphics.

Warioware Touched:
Pretty amusing, but not as innovative as the GBA Warioware games.

Geometry Wars Galaxies:
Very nice, unique controls and good music. The styIe of graphics is quite dazzling. Shooting ships gets a bit repetitive though. I dunno why.

I'm playing other games now, but do not feel I have played them eough to gicve first impressions. So many games, so little time! @.@
