I have broken down and bought The Resistance on pre-order. Funny enough, the CD-DVD combination was a whole buck cheaper (at the moment) than just the CD. So why not get the limited-edition one?
Not much going on today. I have some new clothes that I have to try on tomorrow when I get up. My sister got a cheap Playstation (but we haven't had a chance to figure out if it works yet.) We advanced 10 years in videogame tech today-the other machine we own is one of the very first Nintendos (the Super Nintendo Entertainment System is fourth generation...and they're on what? 6 or 7 now?) If you want to get a sense of how old this thing is, it came out in 1990, when I was 4 YEARS OLD.
It is very hard to find games for a 20 year-old obsolete console, and it's especially hard to find the little plastic gun for Duck Hunt when it dies. Or the RF modulator. Or some other freaking part that's for a machine so old that the Berlin Wall was barely down before it landed in the stores.
It is far easier to find games for a Playstation console, seeing as that came out about 10 years after the Nintendo. We can go on Amazon and dig up used ones. The parts are modern enough we could get them REPLACED if we needed to.
At the rate we're going, we'll have a Wii when I'm in my mid-30's.
Ta,

CORRECTION: Anna has just told me that we don't have the SUPER Nintendo Entertainment System, but we have the plain old Nintendo Entertainment System. The damn thing came out in 1985.
For the record, I wasn't even BORN in 1985, and as for the Berlin Wall, it had another 4 years to stand at THAT point.
So we don't have a 20 year-old console, no NO. We have a 24 year-old console...and we still don't have parts for the stupid thing.
