Well for some reason code veronica is now working on my dreamcast which is great, playing the game alone in the dark at 2am is not so great. Though the audio does skip once in a while so I think I will still go ahead with scratch repair thingy, during daylight hours.

So just out of sheer boredom I'm in my local gamestation and I decide to pick up DoA2 and Code Veronica for the dreamcast simply because I'm getting them both for a fiver. Now I get home and spend a happy 2 hours playing DoA2, hey i'm not that good at it but it's still fun. Then I put in Code veroinca... it won't read. I take it out give it a good clean and put it back in, still wont read. After a few more attempts i've finally given up and you know what, I'm damn disappointed. So I went on ebay and ordered a scratch repair kit thing, I've never used one before but damn it I want to play that game and I ain't taking it back to the store to change it for... well I didn't see anything else there that was good.

So I should get my kit on Tuesday and hopefully I will be able to play it then, if not I might cry.

Well I've almost finished packing as I'm off to Inverness for new year tomorrow and this is also going to be the first time my wii has been out the house since I got it, yup as soon as my mates heard I had a wii the begging began "please bring it up, come on I want to see zelda, a feee can of tennents for you if you bring it up..." well you get the gist and after that generous offer (I love my tennents me) I caved and I'm taking my wii up. Though I doubt we will play it a huge amount because as good as the wii is it can't replace going down the pub with my mates at new year and catching up with all the people I haven't seen in ages.

Well I've had Super monkeyball banana blitz for 3 days now and my wrist is bloody killing me. I am enjoying the game even though it does have a few niggling little flaws* but the single player mode definately isn't suitable for long play sessions, constantly twisting my wrist back and forward just ain't... comfortable. It has also alongside zelda shown me how much I want 1080 on the wii,by the way thats snowboarding not high def graphics.







*no retry option on minigames, having to hold down the button for the
pause menu to come up, alwyas having to enter my name in the highscore
section, it not saving high scores when more than 1 person is playing
minigames and the whole idea of boss fights.

So I've had my wii for 5 days now and i'm still stoked that I managed to get one. On launch I got zelda to go with my wii sports and well as much as I love zelda TP I haven't had a huge amount of time to play it but what I have been able to dedicate some time to is the bowling in wii sports, took a while but I got my pro status and yes I do dream of one day bowling the perfect game. Hell i even did a little dance when i hit a 6,7,10 split.

I also just picked up yesterday wii play, now sure it's only what £5 ($10 yes the dollar is tanking right now) more than the controller on it's own but some of those games are damned addictive. So basically it's a nice package to pick up if you want/need another wiimote well that is if you can find it, oh yes and it does come with those suddenly all important star points for the european comsumer.
