another day another post



This game has completely consumed my videogame attention as of late. For as much fun as Table tennis can be in real life, Table Tennis for the 360 kicks its ass! The best is playing on Xbox Live and destroying those who otherwise would be able to beat me in any other online competitive game. Take THAT Halo 2 fans! I only wish they would've expanded more on the single player mode and maybe made a Beer Pong mode where the controller shakes after each turn. Ah well, maybe there will be a sequel, though it's already pretty perfect in its own right.

Speaking of videogames, I only have another 10 AGONIZING days until my DS lite ships out! I recently traded in my PSP and 3 games for $151 in credit. It's not that I hated the PSP either, far from it. But when I read about all the movie studios who are dropping out of the UMD market I saw that as the beginning of the end. Wasn't movies one of the selling points for this thing anyway? Plus the unit just felt so expensive that I wasn't about to take it out of the house to experience it as a true "portable system" that it is intended to be. Plus GTA Liberty City Stories is coming out for the PS2 on Tuesday and it's got to be a hell of a lot easier to play on there than on the one analog stick PSP.

Anyway, back to the DS. I'm thinking I'll pick up 2 games when I finally get it, The New Super Mario Brothers which just looks amazing and a lot of fun to play and then for online play I'll be picking up Mario Kart DS. I've got a few people lined up to play against and that ought to keep me occupied on the long boring days ahead.

Thats all for now.
