Hah.  360.  Hah.  Worst console ever.  It's apparently so bad that even the developers don't care to program properly for it.  I've learned from a customer today that Madden '06 for the Xbox 360 is not only terrible, but also quite bugged.  That's just friggin' awesome.  More evidence that the 360 ain't worth the time of day.  I like it.  Eat it in the anus, Microsoft.  Especially since the one game I thought I might want to play from you guys is horridly overpriced for being on PC versus XBox...  Honestly now, Fable: The Lost Chapters should be $20 on PC if it's gonna be $20 on XBox, not $50.  You're fired.  I'm not buying it 'til it's $20.  'Til then, I'll be buying other stuff...

The day after Thanksgiving...  It actually would've been a really good day except the timeframe I had to work.  Since I got stuck showin' up for work at 6:00am and had to work 'til 2:30pm.  The time I had to work really was the only bad thing about it all.  It was super busy, but actually a pleasantly active workday.  Waltzin' around trying to sell people everything...  It was almost as though I were p-leveling in salesmanship.  And, hey, we all know that p-leveling is always good.  So, anyways, our store ended up being one of the top 50 EB stores in the nation for sales.  Oh, yeah, we know what we doing.  "Take off every Zig.  For great justice."

Marissa felt really bad about ignoring me over the phone for half an hour, me thinking that she was still in the bathroom.  I was more just sitting there thinkin' "Dear goodness, is she trying to pass a large cannonball through her bowels...?  Is she alright?"  Yeah, she was perfectly fine; she just thought she told me bye on the phone when in actuality she told she'd be back after going to the bathroom.  So, because of her guilt, she felt irresistably compelled to buy me something...  We're now the proud owners of a Game Boy Player, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World, and Zelda: The Minish Cap.  We would've gotten Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 if they had it in pre-played, but they didn't... *sadness*  I highly recommended the aforementioned games for the GBA.

Y'know, honestly, between all the Game Boys, there have been so many good games...  Super Mario Land 1-3, Metroid Fusion, Metroid Zero Mission, Mario and Luigi, FFTA, Minish Cap, anything Kirby-related, especially Kirby Pinball Land, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Golden Sun, and now Donkey Kong Country stuff...  That's only 'bout half the stuff I remember...  Honestly, the Game Boy has always been consistently a great system, with the GB Micro being the sole mistake on Nintendo's end with the Game Boy; yeah, if the Micro actually supported the original Game Boy/Game Boy Color games and didn't require a dumb adapter for multiplayer games, it really would be a better seller.  Let's face it, you can redesign a system only once and have it be widely successful; the NES, the SNES, the PS1, the PS2, and from GBA to GBA SP...  The redesigns were all well-done and well-implemented, and they only went through the redesign phase once.  Something to think about...

Oh, and why is Soul Calibur 3 now my most favorite game ever?  Because the hidden Type-X Armor Set for females lets you create the one and only KOS-MOS from Xenosaga.  When I unlocked it, it made me so happy.  It'd be the best game ever if equipping all the pieces on someone enabled her to have the KOS-MOS voiceset.  *KOS-MOS beats Kilik* "My external appearance is down 5%.  Shion, I need to be cleaned."  Ah, yes, that would be awesome.

Anyways, time to go unlock stuff in the super-awesome Mario Party 7.  Take it easy, everyone.
