So it’s a few days after Christmas and I’m spending money on
myself, yay! Specifically on a book about Italian rapier techniques and
finally, after much delay and forgetfulness, Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 on
Wii’s virtual console.
This installment of the Sonic franchise is supposed to be a
direct follow up to Sonic & Knuckles on the Genesis console. It’s been a
while. I was pretty excited when this came out, but being a broke college kid I
couldn’t justify the $15.00 for it. Now that I have a big kid job, why the hell
not? (If you’ve ever downloaded on the Wii they use a classic Mario as the
loading screen. He’s currently concussing himself on a brick right now.)
After playing it Sonic for a bit, I can’t help but feel that
including the homing attack in a 2D Sonic was a mistake. When it comes to
precision jumping, if you get too close to a ledge, Sonic will Homing Attack
into the void and often kill himself or set you back in some way.
I got a new camera this Christmas so hopefully I’ll be able
to post more photos of random stuff.
In other news….Magic has been pushed a bit to the side for now
as the friend I play with most has lost interest in it. (He kind of burned
himself out while dating his last girlfriend.)
I feel like I should be more excited for the current Ravnica set, but I
just can’t justify spending money on it right now. Granted, I could go to a
card shop on weekends, but keeping in Standard or other competitive play gets
expensive fast. “You mean my deck will work better four copies of this card
that costs $30? OK!”
When compared to something like getting a motorcycle, I just
can’t support the addiction. Did I
mention I want a bike? Been looking at these:
Harley Davidson parts, designed by Buell. 499cc, single-cylinder motor. Enough to get me killed, but also get out of its own way.
Alright, I need to go do...something, been sitting too long. Hopefully I'll get back to more regular posting.
Until next time!
