Luigi's Mansion and Pikmin 2. Pikmin 1 is great, but the second game builds so much on top of the first game. Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door is a pretty good one too if backtracking doesn't hurt your brain too much because there is a lot of that. Ooh and the first Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader if Star Wars is your thing. Rogue Squadron 3: Rebel Strike kinda sucked. Also F-Zero GX supports Wide Screen and runs smooth as hell. Still a great looking game if you ask me.

How dare you steal all my suggestions!! Those were the super duper awesome games I was gonna suggest. You even echoed my sentiments about Rogue Squadron 2 compared to Rogue Squadron 3!!!! GRRRR :)

In seriousness, Pikmin 2 is without a doubt one of my favourites and I encourage everyone to play it. It still looks good too (I played it again during summer). F-Zero GX is insane at times but tons of fun.

Rogue Squadron (Rebel Strike, I think, contains most of this game plus more if I remember).

Rebel Strike only has RS2 in multiplayer only.

Other games I would suggest:

Tales of Symphonia (I know it's on other platforms. I played it on the Gamecube)

Luigi's Mansion if you can find it (fantastic game)

Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles (I liked it. The multiplayer with GBA only was kinda dumb though)

Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2

NBA Street V3 with Mario and Luigi in it

Super Mario Sunshine (I had a lot of fun with it. I recently rebought it and have been having a good time playing it again.)

OG Animal Crossing (Still the best version. I liked the sectioned off areas instead of one giant world. Kept organization easier. Plus NES games and other crazy crap. The Wii version isn't nearly as good)

Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door (I played it for 40 hours in one week during the school year. That's how addicting it is)

Gladius (It was on lots of platforms. That game was just awesome all around. Was a D&D style game but a ton of fun. My dad even got into watching me play it and figured parts of it out and he hasn't played games since the NES era)

This is from a game of just healing and reviving team mates. Was just about as fun as flying a chopper around with a good gunner

Throw packs and ammo at anyone you see; you've got an unlimited supply of packs, so dont be stingy! Every player will literally say "GOD BLESS YOU, SUPPORT" to their monitors when you give them ammo

Haha, way to stick it to mr K/D in second! Gotta love it!

Yeah this is the real battlefield right here. I used to do similarly (not as good, of course) in BF2 and get between 1st and 3rd in almost every round through very aggressive reviving. I can tell you it does bother the real competitive types and then you just get all smug and say "Oh but it's a team effort!".

The funny thing for me is whenever I play a Battlefield game I can pretty much consistently say that 2142 was DICE's best iteration on this concept. Most people that disagree have played little to no 2142 so they can't really dispute me.

In terms of actual game-play, class balance, vehicle balance, and map design 2142 did pretty much everything right. It also had by far the most dynamic and fun game mode of any of the entries in the Battlefield series.

Good video. Vietnam was underrated. It was a ton of fun. The Vietnam expansion for BC2 was super fun as well. It's funny, because I've been listening to CCR lately, which is present in both. 
 
1942 was fun because there wasn't all this crazy stuff that was built into the game, you had to do it yourself. And Battle For Britain. Oh man, that was the best map ever. Planes for everyone!

I think I've played two or three games of rush in the release version (I had no choice in beta). It's kinda awful. Conquest rewards good play way more. In rush most people just camp the objectives and  wait for someone to come around the corner.

Is this for the campaign? I'm around 2/3 done on Brutal making only marine/medic. It's a lot of fun and good micro practice.

Woke up, showered, ate coffee and bagel
Went to university 
Decided not to go to my English class, instead read up on Matrix Transformations for my Math Midterm on Wednesday since I still don't understand them fully
Went to math, handed in math assignment, got back old assignment (got way too high of a mark, I realized around 15 minutes after handing it in I did every question wrong. Got 65% anyway) 
Walked home 
Studied math from 2PM until supper at 6PM. 
Had supper 
Studied again from 6:30PM to 8:30PM. Gave up due to being tired.
Stopped studying for the day. I studied for 11 hours yesterday, 12 hours the day before, and around 7-8 hours today. 
 
I nearly failed my last math midterm so I've decided to study way more this time.

I'm just looking forward to exploring again. That was my favourite part of Oblivion. You'd be walking along a path, see a building, go to see what's inside, and see disemboweled people everywhere and evil magician dudes would try to kill you. Or you'd find random quests. That's what I'm looking forward to. I never use guides so I don't know about it until I find it. 

I agree with everything except knives. They basically don't work unless the person is not moving. It's pretty annoying when a guy runs around the corner, you hit the knife key, see the knife hit him (sometimes even blood), then he proceeds to kill you anyway.  It feels like when they accidentally broke them for a little bit on BC2 before they fixed them.
