 I finished up the Legend of Zelda last Friday. I really enjoyed the game, but left somewhat dissatisfied. I think that I have just been spoiled by A Link to the Past. I think that LoZ, like Metroid laid a wonderful foundation. I can believe that both games were the cream of the crop back when they were released, but the sequels took the best parts of the originals and expanded upon them. Either way, it was a great game. It was quite a treat seeing where one of my favourite games began. 
I then sat down on Saturday to start and finish Super Metroid. It has been quite a few years since my last playthrough, so I forgot the placement of a few key items. I could not remember where Crocomire was, and I completely forgot about the Wave beam until after Ridley. In the end I finished the game in 5 hours with an 89% collection rating. I was quite surprised by that because I had a lower rating the last time I had played it.
AT&T finally came and fixed my internet. I cannot believe how much I missed having a proper connection.  It tooke me a little bit, but I finally decided what game I am going to tackle next, Faxanadu.  I have heard good things about this classic NES game, and dowloaded it off the VC.  From the 15-20 minutes that I spent with it so far, I have gotten a good vibe.  I hope that it does not disappoint. 

It has been a crummy week so far. Today started off poorly, but seems to be getting better. A good cup of coffee, and apparently sobelman's after work. Sobelman's is a burger joint that went head to head against AJ Bombers on Food Wars... Bombers won. I have been to AJ Bombers before, and they are good. The Barrie Burger is pretty tasty, a peanut butter bacon cheeseburger. 
I hope to finally figure out how to set up my internet. It has been giving me grief ever since AT&T said that it was okay to set up the modem. I even tried to swap out my 1960s phone jack for something a little more modern.
I hope to finish the Legend of Zelda over the next few days. It is well designed, but I cannot say that I like how they re-used a lot of the bosses in the later dungeons.
I hope that the PS4 is released a week or two before the Xbox One.
I hope that they make a sequel to Man of Steel. I really want to see Lex Luthor, the greatest criminal mind the world has ever known.
I hope that they make an awesome choice, and choose somebody in their 40s to replace Matt Smith on Doctor Who.
I hope that 3 Floyd's Blackheart is as awesome as the style of beer would have me believe. An English style India Pale Ale, aged in oak barrels.

It has been such a crazy week.  I have slept far less than I normally would.  I have two equally sound theories.  One is the fact that I have just moved to a far quieter neighborhood, away from the highway.  It is quite possible that I need it to be noisy when I sleep.  The other theory is the PS4.  I joined Sony's pre-E3 conference just over halfway through.  I saw all of the important PS4 related news and pre-ordered one the moment that amazon would let you.  Thankfully, I did not wait until morning, because I am sure that the Launch edition would have been gone by that point.  I think that the excitement of the PS4 may have interfered with my sleeping habits.

I think that I finally understand.  

It is quite possible that I am going crazy, otherwise it is the caffeine.  Starbucks' Sumatra is so good.  The past week has been quite crazy for me.  We have been slowly moving, and getting acquainted with a wonderful new neighborhood.  On the downside, my high tech coffee maker is still packed away, and so I have had to go out for my morning brew.  The other problem with moving is the surprising annoyance of moving your internet.

i officially do not care if there is any sort of DRM or always on policies.  Kingdom Hearts 3 just sold me a ps4.  The other amazing games also help, but it is mostly kingdom hearts.

It was '01/'02 and I was in school.  My friends told me about this awesome thing called emulators.  So, doing what all of my cool classmates did, I installed a snes emulator on the family computer.  I fell in love.  I was suddenly able to play all of these old games that were utterly fantastic.  All of the snes games that I never owned...  This is the point that I truly fell in love with Nintendo.  Growing up we had a nes, and eventually a snes.  Since I did not have any money, the games I played were fairly limited.  We had a big family, so my parents spent money on necessities rather than videogames.

Just a quick thought.  I looked through a couple of ads earlier and found something quite interesting.   Both best buy and target were not advertising Fuse.  I know that it is coming out, what is with EAs marketing?

Some of the dust has settled, and I have had time to really think about it.  I do not care right now.  The Xbox One was revealed a couple of days ago to many people's disappointment.  I followed the reveal, and will agree that I was disappointed in Microsoft's show.  I will also say that I was a little disappointed in Sony's reveal a couple of months ago.  As it so happens, both companies left details out about their consoles.  Some details, while talked about, were left in a vague state.  At this point, I do not care. 

I am coming to the realization that I may be hitting the point of videogame fatigue.  I remember this happening before.  I focused most of my time upon videogames, and just burned out.  Of course, it has to start setting in the moment I finish Crysis and start the sequel.
