I wish I was dead. I don&#8217;t know about anyone else, but I really <em>really<\/em> hate being sick. All snotty and zombielike. It&#8217;s horrible I tell you! I just want to stay home from work tomorrow, but I&#8217;ve yet to miss a day of work in my life and I don&#8217;t feel like changing that anytime soon, so I guess I&#8217;ll have to go. Then when I get home I&#8217;ll explode in a glorious shower of mucus. Huzzah.<\/p>\n<p>One good thing though, is that TRU got <a href=\"http:\/\/www.atlus.com\/izuna\/\" target=\"_blank\">Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja<\/a> in stock today, which I promptly scooped up. It&#8217;s a fairly neat game, but man is it hard. It&#8217;s a weird little dungeon crawler with a simple turn-based battle system and randomly generated dungons. Most people would probably write it off as tedious or something else like that, but it&#8217;s quite up my alley, really. I like most games that center around spelunking for treasure in one way or another, so is all good.<\/p>\n<p>I was also eyeing up <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sega.com\/gamesite\/sonicrings\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\">Sonic and the Secret Rings<\/a>. I&#8217;ve been reading a lot about it, and I think it sounds pretty great, but I&#8217;m still on the fence about it. I think maybe it&#8217;s really just a renter though. But even that&#8217;s a pain in itself, because I haven&#8217;t been able to work up the energy to go out and rent a game in probably close to a year by now (someday, Excite Truck, someday).<\/p>\n<p>Besides being sick, there&#8217;s another something that&#8217;s really bugged me recently. I was unloading a truck on Wednesday, and I noticed a strangely labeled box. As it turns out, there&#8217;s some sort of horrible <a href=\"http:\/\/www.toysrus.com\/sm-bratz-shrek-doll-yasmin--pi-2590937.html\" target=\"_blank\">Bratz\/Shrek cross-promotion<\/a> going on. Though proper use of the term &#8220;cross-promotion&#8221; is still debatable, as I&#8217;ve yet to see any Shrek crap that claims he&#8217;s &#8220;the <em>only<\/em> troll with a passion 4 fashion&#8221;. Why does this bug me? Frankly, I&#8217;ve grown to hate Bratz with all my earthly being, and Shrek continues to be the biggest animated sell-out ever. Seriously. Even Dora&#8217;s face hasn&#8217;t been plastered on as much junk as Shrek&#8217;s, and <em>that<\/em> is really saying something.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ugh.
