Assuming I get one. With all this talk of limited shipments and sold-out preorders, my fears are plateauing right about now. It&#8217;s like some sort of horrible, twisted Christmas, where if you can&#8217;t run fast enough, Santa won&#8217;t visit your house. Or a better metaphor than that. I&#8217;ve gotten very little sleep over the last week, so my writing ability is even worse than usual. I&#8217;d ask them to put one aside for me at work, but I overheard they&#8217;ve sold out of pre-orders, and I don&#8217;t want to look like a dumbass for missing the reservation boat. Well, that&#8217;s my punishment for not getting off my ass and pre-ordering it six months ago like a younger, more fanatical me would have.

It won&#8217;t be posted until January, but I&#8217;ll tell you now that it&#8217;s going to disappoint your ass. Also, there&#8217;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!<\/p>\n<p>EDIT (5:22AM): I just noticed that Planet GameCube has gone through their much-talked-about change and is now the swanky <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendoworldreport.com\" target=\"_blank\">NintendoWorldReport<\/a>.
