Hi all, hope your all well and enjoying your summer so far. It's been pretty nice weather wise in London of late, it's been warm, and very sunny. Do any of you have any plans to get away somewhere nice this summer?, perhaps with the familyor on your own with friends or lovers?. I ask because I have to go to Turkey next month for some health treatments. It will be the first time I have been. My back's playing up after I injured it a while ago getting out of bed. it's been pretty annoying given the heat were having right now. I haven't been very active and don't think I will be for a while. Which is why I need to get my back ironed out by some fat hairy middle aged Turkish man. I am of course dreading the prospect, but one's health is all important and overriding. My girlfriend is naturally loving this all, it's her chance to nurture and laugh a lot as a hobble around like a old man in need of a walking stick.
On the big issue of today, briefly. Yeah, everyone's most likely hit their fill level, I know I have, but for for the record, I was a fan back in the day, so I am sad about what's happened. I had actually bought tickets to the o2 Arena gig and was really looking forward to taking my girlfriend. And making my peace, I am referring to me shunning his music after the scandals and issues. Back then, things just got way too weird for me, and for someone the reviles pedophilia it was enough of a shock to the system to say, **** this and move on. I will be contacted in due course regarding any possible refund. I don't really care about the money though, I just think it's terrible shame that I never got the chance to see him live at least once [ . ]
Went shopping today, to sort of cheer myself up a little. My collection has just received a great addition in the form of a Japanese Dreamcast Joystick.
Dreamcast ASCII Stick FT - Special Capcom Version
It's heavy and it features a nice slant leading to the panel. The hands feel great on it, the base of your palms curve perfectly on the slant and it also features mild vibration, which on a Dreamcast is very rare on Joysticks. I like the blue and yellow Capcom colours.
Loaded up SNK 2 and SF3 earlier, and it felt awesome.
Ran out of Rum last night, while taking it all in, bought some moar today ^ ^
I saw 4 player single cart on the cover and ended up buying it. I'm also a big fan of the series and this game has evaded me for too long. This should be awesome on 4 GB Micro's. I happen to have both 2 and 4 player link cables that I bought on import from Hong Kong 2 years back. I have never played a 4 player game on the machine so far, so that should be pretty cool. I actually prefer to play GBA games on my Micro's, games feel great and look awesome on the smaller screen, which has the same number of pixels, yet is smaller. It's almost like a HDGBA of sorts. I love playing Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper, I know it's missing buttons but I still love it despite. I like playing 2 player battles on trains, I've had some epic battle on the London Underground, lol.
Great game, great handheld... Needed another copy:
I've been playing a few games on DS lately, Soul Bubbles (-relaxing ****) and TWEWY, and these cool games.
PunchOut!! is a blast and all that you would expect, Little King Story on the other hand is easily one of the best games I have played all year, and that's saying something. It has it's flaws, like any other game, but it's genius and charm are far more apparent to me.
Mi back needs fixing, in the meantime I'm taking it easy, and taking the bottle out into the garden in a mo.. I might play some SF3 out there later. Sat in my lounger sharing a bottle bottle of rum with joystick hooked up. That's taking it easy ;)
Hope you all enjoy the rest of your summer,
Linky
