Okay. So, here we go...

I bought Metroid Prime NIB off eBay for $26. I got Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem NIB for $23. Each was $5 shipping, meaning I got them at very decent prices. Prime's controls are a little weird, but I'm getting in to it. Darkness is pretty creepy, very well done and looks like it could soak up a lot of my time.

I also got Animal Crossing. It's stupidly simple and the concept is something else but it's actually fun to play. I have no idea how they came up with this. I think Jenni is going to like it a lot.

And for one of my guilty pleasures, I bought NBA Street the same day. I love basketball games, especially the outrageous type (like NBA Jam). Little did I realize, I already have this for my PS2. Oh.

I finally got another PS2 last night, as well as memory cards and controllers and blah blah blah. I had just started Vice City before the fire, and I'm finally getting back in to it. I have a shitload of PS2 games that need to get played. Not enough time...

I bought my first portable game system last weekend. I picked up a silver Gameboy Advance SP with Metroid Fusion. Lemme tell you, Fusion rules. It is seriously good, though very difficult at times. I finally beat it on Friday and am going through it a second time, aiming for a better completion score.

I got Mario Kart Super Circuit off eBay for $17 and I must say, they did a damn fine job with it. I'll be playing over the link cable with friends, which should be a lot of fun.

I also picked up Chu Chu Rocket!, which vsp mentioned before. Honestly, I saw the Japanese Dreamcast TV ad and just had to have it (kinda). Then I read IGN's review and thought "hey, for $20 at Wal*Mart, what the hell." It is hard. It's super fast paced. I think I'll get playing this with Jenni, but even the single player gets challenging very quickly.

So what's really on my plate? Metroid Prime, Metroid Fusion, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and that's about it. Everything else comes second. Just need more time...
