Happy Playstation 3 day, everyone. I still think it’s a big waste of money, but if you wanted one, I hope you get it. To each his own, I guess.
Only two more days until Wii, and I can finally sleep again. Assuming I get one. With all this talk of limited shipments and sold-out preorders, my fears are plateauing right about now. It’s like some sort of horrible, twisted Christmas, where if you can’t run fast enough, Santa won’t visit your house. Or a better metaphor than that. I’ve gotten very little sleep over the last week, so my writing ability is even worse than usual. I’d ask them to put one aside for me at work, but I overheard they’ve sold out of pre-orders, and I don’t want to look like a dumbass for missing the reservation boat. Well, that’s my punishment for not getting off my ass and pre-ordering it six months ago like a younger, more fanatical me would have. I guess I just have to rely on the city’s population to be as anti-Nintendo as I imagine them to be. I know a healthy portion of my friends have jumped on the Wii bandwagon, but I’ll assume hope sacrifice virgin maidens pray that everyone who’s going to be camping is camping for a PS3 as I type.
On a lighter note, I’m already almost done typing up the inevitable “10 Best Games of 2006” article. It won’t be posted until January, but I’ll tell you now that it’s going to disappoint your ass. Also, there’s quite a bombshell announcment tucked in there which will probably lower your opinion of me even more than the list of games I chose will. Froth with anticipation!
EDIT (5:22AM): I just noticed that Planet GameCube has gone through their much-talked-about change and is now the swanky NintendoWorldReport. A little disorienting at first, but overall I like it.
